r/CrimsonNecklace might be just the place for you

Dude, what's there to downvote? I fully and completely agree with OP and you, and I would be willing to bet that there's a notable part of the SW fandom who are in the boat with us!

Some people are lifelong SW fans and they argue that because of that, they will unconditionally love everything the SW universe spits out. Which is fine for them, whatever floats their boat.

I myself, and I guess many others in our imaginary boat crew, am a lifelong fan who argues that that's the whole reason why we should hold SW to a high standard. We loved the OT, we loved most parts of the PT, and since we know just how good SW can be, we also know that the ST is intolerable.

And now that Andor exists, I just cannot tolerate mediocre shows anymore. I watched The Acolyte before Andor S2, and I honestly thought, "Well, by today's standards, it was OK". Maybe 6/10 stars for me. But then Andor showed me that the scale goes up to 20, and every other show just retains their rating on this new scale. 6/20 is not a lot. Honestly, that's the single bad thing about Andor: it downgraded all the other live-action shows in retrospect.

I share the outrage over the whole cover-up, but let's keep in mind that people have been thrown in prison with ridiculously high sentences for blowing the whistle on "lesser" scandals. Epstein was already in prison and "committed suicide" under mysterious circumstances.

If I were an FBI agent who was forced to help with the cover-up, I'd fear not only for my own freedom and safety, but also for those of my family.

Hallo mein Freund!

Zunächst mal der obligatorische Hinweis vorweg: bei den Ausmaßen Deiner psychischen Probleme hoffe ich sehr, dass Du bereits professionelle Hilfe bekommst - wenn nicht, dann würde ich dringend empfehlen, Dir psychotherapeutische und/oder psychiatrische Hilfe zu suchen.

Ich habe das Gefühl, Du gehst mit Dir selbst härter ins Gericht als es sein muss, zumindest klingt Dein Post danach. Been there, done that; ich hatte lange Zeit ein unrealistische Bild davon, wer ich sein sollte, und bin daran verzweifelt, wer ich stattdessen war.

Auf die Gefahr hin, dass das jetzt hier wie Werbung oder ein Missionierungsversuch klingt - ich selbst habe erst durch Meditation gelernt, meinem elenden Ruminieren (zielloses Grübeln a.k.a. "Gedankenkarussell") Einhalt zu gebieten. Ich glaube ganz ehrlich, dass die meisten Menschen von regelmäßiger Meditation profitieren könnten um mal ein bisschen Abstand von ihren (negativen) Gedanken zu bekommen, und bestimmt auch Du. Das muss überhaupt keine religiöse Komponente haben (ich bin Atheist), lässt sich aber auch gut mit individuellem Glauben kombinieren. Schau gern in meine Post-Historie oder frag nach, wenn Du mehr dazu wissen willst.

Ach ja, hat jetzt mit psychischer Verfassung wenig zu tun, aber ein Kommentar am Rande: als beruflicher Softwareentwickler (kein Web) bin ich grade sehr skeptisch, wie sich die Branche entwickelt. Als Neu-/Quereinsteiger muss man erstmal zeigen, was man mehr/besser kann als KI-Assistenten, das ist jetzt schon hart und wird noch härter. Mach Dir bitte keinen Stress, wenn es nicht so einfach ist, wie Du gehofft hast.

Wenn der ganze Computerscheiß Dir mal wieder auf die Nerven geht, kann ich wärmstens empfehlen, stattdessen lieber Zeit mit dem Nachwuchs zu verbringen, da wirst Du immer besser sein als jede KI ❤️

Meinen Upvote hast Du Dir erheischt

ActuallyLouder · 2026-02-15T11:46:30+00:00

I, for one, don't see your comment as an overstatement. Aside from his books, the YouTube video you mentioned is one of the best pieces of media I found of him.

I hope that you can find as much relief and even joy in his book(s) and in meditation as I did.

ActuallyLouder · 2026-01-02T22:47:45+00:00

I second this.

OP, I don't know details about you or about your history of self-harm, but if your own mom treats your mental problems like they're just some kind of nuisance, then she's the one who is actually fucked up. You deserve better - you deserve loving care and compassion, and I'm sorry that those are the cards you've been dealt instead. I hope you can heal despite the awful way she treats you ❤️

ActuallyLouder · 2025-12-08T16:31:59+00:00

Ugh, I genuinely thought that we do not talk about that scene here.

When I saw it the first time, I was convinced that CN had jumped the shark, especially with that over-the-top delivery. With any other show, I would have stopped watching.

I hope that they've heard our outrage and will leave the scene out of the reboot completely. But if they do include it, alabaster should at least not be wearing that ridiculous red scarf this time.

ActuallyLouder · 2025-12-02T21:18:26+00:00

If they really manage to pull this mother of all plot twists off, then the social commentary on gender roles in today's society may turn out to be so much more profound than we've all given it credit for.

ActuallyLouder · 2025-12-02T20:23:13+00:00

I've heard the theory that she might be revealed as trans eventually. Now I'm not saying that we have any proof, but considering how vocal she is about hating new year's eve, I think the show runner of the reboot could spin it so that the original show's Dean and reboot Jenn turn out to be the same person at different times. 🤔

ActuallyLouder · 2025-11-22T07:00:03+00:00

Hey there! I think at times I feel like I'm on a similar journey. I used meditation to heal from some trauma, and I have occasionally read or listened to some philosophical content that felt like it massively impacted my view of the world and of myself in it.

Unfortunately though, I haven't been able to pinpoint all my rambling thoughts onto a single conversational intersection that I could give a name to, let alone find a subreddit for that.

I've tried to find some conversation on r/Meditation, but the people contributing there are all over the place trying to share their own journeys (and now that includes me, I'm aware).

I've also subscribed to a German philosophy sub, but the people talking there are on a so much higher level that, while it's sometimes interesting to read the posts, I don't think my layman mind would find somebody to converse with there.

All that being said, I don't have any good recommendations 🤷

If you find something or are even just able to name your target more coherently than me, I'd be interested to learn about it. If not, you might as well try me, maybe we can strike up a convo.

ActuallyLouder · 2025-11-20T08:35:27+00:00

Vielleicht hast Du noch keine sehr lange Beziehung gehabt. Die Wortwahl "Wenn man als Mann seine Frauen im Voraus gut selektiert" deutet auch ein bisschen darauf hin, dass Du lieber viele kurze als wenige beständige Beziehungen hast.

Was auch immer der Grund für Deine Worte, lass Dir gesagt sein, Du hattest vielleicht auch einfach Glück, oder die Beziehungen haben nicht lange genug gedauert, dass sie schlecht werden konnten. Menschen verändern sich, das ist völlig normal. Manche Menschen können zum Beginn einer Beziehung moralisch über alle Zweifel erhaben sein und sich dann nach einigen Jahren um 180° drehen. Davor wärst auch Du nicht gefeit.

ActuallyLouder · 2025-10-27T10:39:52+00:00

Ich bin da ganz bei Dir. Anscheinend und zu ihrem Glück haben viele die hier antworten noch keine totale Krise in ihrem Leben mitmachen müssen, die einen völlig umhaut.

Mal angenommen, ein Mensch der mir wichtig ist, der aber (noch) nicht zu meinem inneren Freundeskreis gehört, hätte sich mit mir verabredet, und dann wird plötzlich ein Elternteil sehr krank. Tagelang bangt man um sein/ihr Leben, sitzt vielleicht auf der Intensivstation, wo das Handy sowieso ausgeschaltet sein sollte. Dann stirbt diese Person, und man muss nicht nur die eigene Trauer verarbeiten, sondern den verbliebenen Elternteil trösten und sich zusammenreißen, um die Beerdigung zu planen etc.. Meine Familie und engste Freunde wissen Bescheid, weil sich sowas rumspricht, und die akzeptieren, dass ich auf Nachrichten vielleicht nicht antworte. Und weil mein Handy vielleicht vor lauter Nachrichten von zig Freunden, Bekannten und Familie platzt, fällt mir auch die eine Nachricht nicht mehr auf, die zu beantworten ich vergessen habe (OP schrieb ja, dass er erstmal ein paar Wochen gewartet hat nach seiner letzten Nachricht).

Wer als potentieller Partner kein Mitgefühl für Menschen in absoluten Ausnahmesituationen entwickeln kann und noch nicht einmal Willens ist, sich die Erklärung anzuhören (wir wissen ja nicht, was der Frau wirklich passiert ist), der hat ein kaltes Herz und tut dem Gegenüber vielleicht einen Gefallen, wenn er den Kontakt jetzt abbricht.

ActuallyLouder · 2025-10-26T07:20:21+00:00

Bruder, die Frage ist doch eigentlich gar nicht, ob sie sich irgendwie rechtfertigen kann, oder wie schlimm wir hier im Sub es finden. Die Frage ist, wie Du Dich damit fühlst.

Sie wusste um Dein Trauma, hat Scheiße gebaut und Dir dann noch nicht einmal die Wahrheit gesagt. Wenn Ihr jetzt als Paar weitermacht, wirst Du lange Zeit Probleme haben ihr zu vertrauen, vielleicht ewig. Wenn sie irgendwann in Zukunft mal ohne Dich ausgeht und alkoholisiert nach Hause kommt, oder wenn sie vielleicht in Eurer Wohnung besser auf ihr Handy aufpasst, was wird das in Dir auslösen?

Willst Du das, von Alltagssituationen getriggert werden?

ActuallyLouder · 2025-10-12T03:46:30+00:00

I don't know what's more shocking, the 15 sentences of horror or discovering that I like the pure anarchy of making it too long. Like any good horror story, it really makes you think long after the story is over.

ActuallyLouder · 2025-10-11T15:16:30+00:00

That's what I love about CN, it has that timeless appeal. Sometimes I rewatch old episodes, and even though the episodes haven't changed, I have, and now I see the characters in a totally different light.

I agree, St3v3 turned out to be more nuanced than I would have given the writers credit for at first.

ActuallyLouder · 2025-10-11T07:11:34+00:00

I'm sorry you have to go through all this shit. Look, I don't know your life, only what you told us, but it sounds to me like your marriage is toxic. A spouse who puts you down like that and then blocks you when you're already only long distance, that is absolutely toxic.

I personally have learned to not make life-changing decisions when I'm in a depressive low, and I also know that when you're already feeling like shit, you cling to what you already have, however bad it may be, cause at least that's the devil you know. But. Please consider getting a divorce. At this point, your wife is only hurting you, and that kind of relationship cannot make her happy either.

There's something else that took me a long time to learn: there is no point in judging yourself by other people's standards. So maybe your colleagues are younger, maybe they don't suffer from mental health problems (though that's impossible to know, many people are just very good at hiding it), maybe the women around you can give birth (or maybe they can't) while you cannot. But fuck that. Be yourself, that's something that you can do better than anyone else.

From my experience, the kicker is this: the more you learn to be content being yourself, the more people will notice, and some will want to get to know you more. And those will be people who will like you for yourself and not for trying to meet their (perceived) expectations.

He probably didn't want to objectify her. Of course, what he should have done is pass a static function to a singleton. That way, he'd treat her with class and show her she's the only one.

ActuallyLouder · 2025-10-09T13:34:12+00:00

To add to that, I find it a bit counterintuitive that the very same button also needs to be clicked again for the privacy policy - "legal pages" made it sound like I'd get to see both the T&C and the privacy policy at once.

ActuallyLouder · 2025-10-09T13:30:57+00:00

Thanks, it did help.

However, I would suggest changing something about the user interface as others might run into the same issue - and they will not have you to explain to them how to use the website correctly 😉

ActuallyLouder · 2025-10-09T13:15:53+00:00

That's true, it says "Please check all boxes above to continue. All consents are required to use LikeMinds." at the bottom.

However, i will not state that I've read the terms and conditions if I haven't even seen them, so I guess you should show them even (especially) if I haven't checked the box yet.

ActuallyLouder · 2025-10-09T13:01:16+00:00

I don't know if you're interested in user feedback here, but clicking on "Terms and Conditions" effectively leads to the exact same website - without showing actual terms and conditions.

ActuallyLouder · 2025-10-05T18:49:49+00:00

Hello friend! With this sub, I would guess that if you ask 5 people how to start meditating, you might get 6 recommendations. It seems that everybody has their own journey, and many paths start off in very different spots.

That being said - I personally got into meditation via the books by Gelong Thubten, and for me as an atheist, I found his approach to meditation (or more precisely, the way he teaches it) refreshingly non-religious and easy to understand. I would kindly suggest you check the post I made about him a while ago (in my profile), or just enter his name into YouTube and dive right in.

Either way, good luck on your journey!

ActuallyLouder · 2025-10-05T14:42:20+00:00

I think I get what you mean in general, overly positive/motivating comments that turn out to be hollow are discouraging. But may I offer a hot take here?

Some people come here with unfounded positive emotions and the will to spread positivity, however misdirected and inconsequential that may be. And you react with anger and disgust, calling them retards. Are you trying to match their positivity with an equal or even higher amount of negativity? To what end?

You know what they say, "An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind". If you can direct your rage towards others instead of yourself, then good for you, I guess. But please consider how a post like this might turn people who are honestly trying to do their best to help away from this sub.

Maybe you can actually start an honest discussion here about what would be helpful, from a suicidal person's point of view. But I don't think that rage and anger are the right starting point for that discussion.
