I mean......cis hetro white guy here. Pretty sure everyone on earth has PTSD from general daily life.
At work, or in public people will greet each other by saying "hey, hows it going". The expected reply is "good". I've taken to cheerily replying like this:
"Hey, hows it going?"
"Everyday is a new horror of unspeakable atrocities!"
And so far everybody just laughs and nods their heads and says "yeah....yeah....."
I don't think anybody anywhere is ok. I'm 42, and never have felt happyness in my life, and have been thinking about it a lot these past few years. With all that reflection, I've come to the conclusion that I never have had, and never will have happyness. All of this is by design.
The rich aren't happy because they try to create happyness through wealth, but once you pass a certain point of wealth, more money has zero impact on your daily life.
The middle class isn't happy because their existence is being wiped out. Some go from middle class to wealthy. Most go from middle class to poor.
The poor aren't happy because they're being phased out of buying basic living needs and health services.
And the homeless are more often than not riddled with so many mental health issues that they often don't have a grasp on what is even happening around them.
We're all being pushed down by the wealthy, who are chasing their happyness through means that will never make them happy.
Buddy, I get that you’re a cis hetero white guy, and that all the time is your time to weigh in and tell people how bad stuff is,
but would you not? Please?
My wife spent a large portion of the morning crying because ICE seized her passport a while back, she paid the replacement fee, and it came back with an M on it.
You’re prolly well meaning, but goddammit now is not the time considering that trans people are being specifically targeted.

I am so sorry you two are going through this. Not being in the USA right now is its own privilege we need to acknowledge.
Because it sounds like it's minimizing the specific trauma trans people experience, though I don't think that's the intention. "Yeah, yeah, we all got problems!"
Modern life is abusive. If you make it through infanthood without at least some trauma in places like the US, you're probably an extreme outlier. That's just the base level everyone carries with them. Of course some people have it quite a bit worse than others. I certainly think people should be able to complain even if on paper they've have more demographics in their favor.
That said, I'd say I've experienced lots of happiness imo despite not being cis or het and having gotten a restraining order against the person who birthed me when I was like 8yo. I hope you are able to find happiness too!
“The amount of eccentricity in a society has generally been proportional to the amount of genius, mental vigor, and moral courage it contained. That so few now dare to be eccentric marks the chief danger of the time.”
no, the correct version here would be: gay - flag = 0, since to move flag from one side of the equation, you are required to subtract it from both sides. this equation also equals 0, because we have already figured out that gay is equal to flag (gay=flag)

We have the best shitposts because we’ve been horribly traumatized at large and we’re not okay.
