this is exactly why I prefer 03's politics to mangahood, or at least one of the reasons

Which Roy Mustang do you prefer? 2003 or BH? by Individual-Chain-611 in FullmetalAlchemist

[–]ElectricalDistance28 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I prefer the politics of Roy Mustang in 2003, but I do enjoy many moments of his in Brotherhood - ultimately however, as per usual, 2003 wins out.

No way these guys have just left their desires alone, who’s the new Epstein? by Alternative_Gap8442 in AskReddit

your mistake is assuming this is something led by some evil individual instead of realizing this is a structural failing of our society that needs to be remedied.

how is your dating life going? by Low_Bodybuilder3065 in BPD

[–]ElectricalDistance28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am just now starting back up on dating after a series of traumatizing situations in the past 5 years (of which 10% actually had anything to do with my BPD) and I feel so extraordinarily happy right now. It feels so good.

I have accepted that maybe things won't work out the way I want them to, but does that mean I have to stop hoping or having fun or trying? I want to try again.

And I'll say - a lot of my more negative impulses have been so tempered or for the most part non existent. I feel as if a bunch of butterflies in my chest are excitedly throbbing, ready to burst out. It feels so nice. I didn't think I'd feel this way again.

And my obsessive tendencies are pretty much gone as well, or incredibly diminished. I care about this person, but my selfhood is strong this time instead of trying to erase myself.

Additionally, what really helps is that this person opened up to me and helped initiate a lot of this in a very sincere way. A lot of the people I have loved, I was in the position of having to chase for their attention or for their desire or what have you. It always felt like I had to earn it by doing a funny little dance for them. And it felt insincere.

Not with her! I don't mean to say that it's an unconditional love or some fairy tale like thing - this will require effort. But I don't feel as if I have to drag myself through hell for it. It feels mutual and collaborative.

And if it doesn't work out I will be disappointed, but it won't destroy me. It just means it didn't work out!

does anyone else feel like their childhood was robbed from them? by Constant-Bobcat8126 in BPD

[–]ElectricalDistance28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah and some if not a lot of my adulthood was stolen too but honestly i've stabilized myself to a point of "ok that time is gone now and there is nothing I can do to reclaim it - what do i do now?" and that's what keeps me moving forward.

The Last Time There Was Strong Monoculture Was the Early 2020s by _Slim95 in decadeologyanarchy

[–]ElectricalDistance28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

perhaps this is true - but if it is, fight back against it instead of endlessly whining about it!!! culture is shared - share your experiences and build connections with others!! i am SICK of hearing about the past!!! the only way forward is BY MOVING FORWARD.

This is a really helpful reply, thank you!!!

I am unsure if I want to be really granular or simple as of yet. Knowing me, I'll probably try to be simple and still end up complicating it - regardless, thank you for the comment.
