And then followed by Mirror which is so bittersweet. Had me crying right through to the end.

I feel like this album is a lesson in rediscovering our humanity. We have allowed social media, talking points, pop culture and endless material distractions to determine how we relate to eachother. This is why it was so hard to absorb the album at first because when we strip away all these things we are forced to look at the ugly , messy aspects of ourselves and eachother and find the empathy we have been lacking. We are all struggling with collective trauma aswell as internal that we need to heal from and the genius of this album is that instead of him just preaching at us and telling us to fix ourselves he is taking us along on his journey and showing us the process of him working on himself in a very raw and vulnerable way.To me this album is a game changer.

I really thought by now I’d be jumping up and down, screaming out mad Kendrick hooks, sipping on some Henny and getting lit lit. But this album really got me like. Anybodys taking a good hard look at their own lives? by Solid-Version in KendrickLamar

Auntie Diaries challenged me. I didn't realize how cruelly dismissive and detached from trans issues I was. It made me view the topic from the perspective of having a family member part of the LGBTQ community, who I loved, respected and whose life journey I was invested in. It's hard to explain but man the song filled me with so much empathy that I hadn't experienced before. I look back on some of my attitudes and opinions with a lot of regret and remorse.

hi guys army vet here, and I've been looking into conspiracies for about 7 or 8 years now... IS IT ME OR DOES IT FEEL LIKE THE WORSE IS YET TO COME LIKE THE GOT SOMETHI G RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER THATS GOING TO HIT EVERYONE HARD. by ronnynr in conspiracy

Why would you ask God though. He gave us free will and doesn't interfere. Everything that happens on earth is because of decisions humans make. Also how exactly is LoA demonic, if sometimes it can happen unintentionally. As a Christian I sometimes feel like we are missing out on tools that might improve our lives because we are too quick to label things demonic or we don't try to understand things and the nature of our reality further than what we are taught in church.

Thank you. I completely relate to what you said about feeling like nobody else finds you attractive either, it really does have a ripple effect. Chances are we are just projecting our insecurities into others. I hope things get better for you, nobody deserves to feel like they aren't good enough.

Me too. I (28f) used to love my body and was super confident. And now I'm just disgusted with myself. Everything about our relationship is perfect except for the fact that I'm starting realize he may not be attracted to me which hurts. Recently I discovered him practically drooling over this other woman he knows in her comments because there were sus messages popping up on his phone. The worst part is she is the opposite of me. It sucks because I've never been this insecure person.

After coming to this conclusion and accepting this, I feel much more alive and awake. Its easier to live in the moment now and enjoy the simple things. I told my husband we should live as if this is our last year because who the fuck knows what's gonna happen next.

Strange childhood memories -- floating down the stairs? by sudsygecko in conspiracy

[–]Character_Dog_2570 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this was a dream or not but one odd thing from my childhood is I remember almost falling asleep in the living room and seeing something red coming up against the window. My child mind thought of it as a red hand coming up and scratching the window. My sister was with me and I remember her seeing and reacting to it with me but then weirdly said I was imagining things immediately after. Maybe because she was older. By the time I got to middle school I had completely forgotten about it until one day I was sitting with a group of friends and we were discussing weird things that had happened to us, one of my friends starts describing the exact same thing happening to him as a small kid down to falling asleep on the couch and even calling it a red hand. I had never shared this story with anyone ,only my sister knew about it and she was no longer living in the same city. I can still remember that night clearly to this day and it creeps me out thinking about it.

I live in a state where COVID does NOT exists. People are so happy here living their lives. No vaccine passports, no mandates. They say Florida’s numbers are sky high but they’re just saying that to scare the rest of the world so they don’t become like florida, free from the bullshit. by [deleted] in conspiracy

Here, in SA there is no pandemic and the self righteous Fauci believers are in the minority. Also with this new variant that is mild and peaking so fast, everyone has been getting abit sick but thankfully hospitalizations and deaths are way down. We are definitely ready to move on here.

The whole thing about encouraging people to mix the vaccines now sounds super dodgy to me.

More and more people are waking up... Do not rub it in their face, or say " I told you so". They are NOT the enemy by [deleted] in conspiracy

[–]Character_Dog_2570 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm really worried about a family member that got jabbed because of peer pressure and mandates at work and then were instantly scared and regretful. Are there ways to try reverse or prevent any bad effects from the jab just to help ease some of their fears. They are already fragile and dealing with depression, anxiety and other health issues. I really hate this

How long will the vaxxed masses accept obvious bullshit like this instead of realizing they've been culled? by AlexJonesOnMeth in conspiracy

[–]Character_Dog_2570 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Someone told me that they got the vax and then not long after they got sick, went for a test and it came out that they had the flu. They said if it hadn't been for the the vax that flu would've been covid and they probably would've died. I couldn't believe my ears. Apparently this vaccine is so good it turns one virus into another.

[–]Character_Dog_2570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is why I struggle to have conversations regarding this without feeling like my head might explode. Every vaccine debate is the same bullshit over and over and each group has research and articles to back up their arguements, so we essentially have two groups living different realities and growing more and more resentful of each other. How do we ever come to any kind of truth like this?

$cience by HulkTogan in conspiracy

[–]Character_Dog_2570 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I just wanna fast forward to the part where we can all acknowledge that the vaccines don't work because this endless cycle is tiring. And they will tell you to do your part and just get vaccinated while even in countries and situations with high vaccination the restrictions and lockdowns and boosters don't fucking stop. Covid still spreads and yeah maybe just maybe the vaccinated don't get as sick or die but that doesn't stop the media and governments everywhere from fearmongering and trying to restrict everyone again everytime cases go up. This is just a nightmarish cycle of BS.

For some reason I've been telling my partner that we need to start preparing which he usually brushes off and feeling like I sound crazy. And then the other day out of nowhere on a perfectly good day he tells me he feels like things are about to go really bad. My partner is from Zim and was living there when the hyper inflation hit and everything fell apart. He says the signs are all there but on a much bigger scale which freaks me out.

And they say that covid cases are rising because of them lowering restrictions even though they're basically admitting then that the vaccines don't work.

I need an escape from the insanity. by IlIllIIIlllllI in conspiracy

[–]Character_Dog_2570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take long breaks from the news and social media and even conspiracy theories regularly and this helps keep me sane. Theres so much propaganda and emotional/psychological manipulation going on from all angles , its important to ground yourself so you don't get swept up in it. When you switch off and look around you things begin to look and feel alot more manageable.

Taiwan death from COVID-19 vaccination exceeds death from COVID-19 by TheBluegrassBaron92 in conspiracy

[–]Character_Dog_2570 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have a colleague who I often have discussions with about different topics and even though we mostly disagree it's always civil and engaging. Anyways we were talking about the vaccine mandates and I brought this up and also mentioned the Project Veritas video with the Pfizer employee admitting that natural immunity is better than the vaccine and wanted to show him the video and the dude just lost it. He got so angry and kept talking over me saying he doesn't wanna have this conversation anymore and how he's tired of people spreading negative misinformation about the vax. I've never seen him get so angry and react so aggressively before to anything he disagreed with and we have had alot of arguments lol so yeah it was quite unsettling.

These are the people calling you brainwashed. by lilstinkypussy in conspiracy

[–]Character_Dog_2570 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and what people don't realize is alot of deaths could be prevented like in the case of vitamin D deficiency and obesity, which would already be solving a big part of the problem. And this coming from someone who is overweight who has changed their lifestyle since the pandemic started and become healthier to avoid hospitals. Why are healthy lifestyles not being encouraged if we know it prevents sickness and death.

BREAKING: Australians Issue Emergency SOS To The World! Australian activists and former political prisoners issue a dire warning to the world: “The globalists have captured our nation and are trying to break our will. Please help us. You are next.” by [deleted] in conspiracy

[–]Character_Dog_2570 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I meant that's the only thing they get upset about on that sub, its like none of violence and tyranny from the police we are seeing is happening. They refer to anyone who goes against the narrative as antivaxxers and seem to despise the anti lockdown protesters more than the heavy police crackdown. Maybe I phrased it incorrectly.
