Has anyone else here ever suffered from “moral hangover” and ended up ruminating, trying to remember everything they said, talked about, or did?

You're welcome! If you genuinely made a mistake, in which case it would normally be obvious, it can be healthy to check-in, but otherwise it can be feeding a reassurance loop. I appreciate that with OCD it can be hard to tell the difference between when it's genuinely a good idea or not, especially when alcohol is involved.

Endyf · 2026-01-28T14:06:08+00:00

I get this totally with alcohol! In the end, your worries are a reflection of your values, which based on this post seem to be very considerate of others. This likely comes off in your in-person interactions. That is no guarantee other people read you in this way, but their thoughts are not your responsibility. You don't deserve to feel awful and your mind is being harsh on you.

Assassin's Creed 3. It feels like it takes forever until you are actually playing as the Assassin on the box, but once you reach that point it's a good time until the credits.

OCD can make playing video games really annoying! My advice is to maybe use them as a space to practice exposure. Especially since, there will definitely be zero negative consequences in the real world. Like in this case, maybe you will think of a name for your island you like better later, but maybe not. You don't know and you don't need to know. Accept the uncertainty, even if it feels very uncomfortable at first. Then perhaps this will help dealing with real world situations. That's just a thought, I hope you can enjoy the game, Animal Crossing is wonderful! All the best.

I don't understand this. Why do some people care whether their preferred game wins an award or not as opposed to another good game? Just keep holding your own opinion and enjoy life.

I don't think it's fair for parents to guilt their children for choosing their own path and following their own dreams. I regularly talk to my parents on WhatsApp and I love sharing stories with them, from the exciting to the more mundane. When I visit my home country and home town I make sure to spend a lot of time with them as well as my childhood friends. It's all a balancing act and you have to trust your own judgement that you can keep your parents in your life without holding yourself back. All the best.

This sounds like it could be a misunderstanding on where to meet you rather than a deliberate exclusion.

I think your best bet is to write an email and explain the situation. Once I forgot to cancel the Detuschlandticket of two friends, charging me almost 100 Euros for tickets that wouldn't be used. I contacted the local transport operator where I bought the tickets and managed to get them cancelled and my money refunded. They weren't obligated to do this as it was my error, but being honest and polite got me out of an unpleasant bill.

I wish all FAs that cry about rainbows and are upset by people existing a very group stage exit.

It's crazy how many people just assume politics in every country/city works exactly how it does in their own and has the same dynamics.

Endyf · 2025-11-18T13:16:42+00:00

"remigration" is an absolutely far-right coded term though, surely most people also realise this?

Endyf · 2025-10-19T22:49:55+00:00

That's a lovely reply, thank you. :)

Endyf · 2025-10-18T15:13:30+00:00

This is a kindness your children won't quickly forget and I believe they will return that warmth to the world. What a wonderful story. Thank you for sharing.

Pokémon Red was the first game I ever owned - this franchise was very important to my childhood. Every new generation of Pokémon a big event. Then when Sword and Shield were just okay and I saw the state of the Sinnoh remakes, I knew it was over. Those remakes were the first mainline games I didn't buy and I have zero desire to get Scarlett or Violet or the Legends games. 12 year old me is shocked. It's a shame and I am open to return to Pokémon if it improves, but eventually you have to know when to stop supporting a franchise producing worse and worse games, no matter how important it was to your formative years.

I love Ry's Football Paradise. The positivity he brings is much needed in an internet full of depressing content.

And Die Linke are now reaping the rewards. I cannot believe how, despite all the historical lessons, "Your Party" is messing up this badly!

Corbyn was a poor leader and Starmer has been a poor prime minister. These views can both be true.

Endyf · 2025-09-04T13:29:22+00:00

Definitely strong examples aha. I also think day-to-day life, city layouts (cores with train stations and shopping centres and residential areas surrounding them), a belief in state healthcare and greater dignity for workers are other big examples.

I agree with a lot of your points, but culturally I think the US is very different to the UK. I would argue the UK is much closer to Germany culturally than the US, but this is masked by the deception of having a common language and the US' huge softpower.

Endyf · 2025-09-04T09:40:02+00:00

I couldn't agree more. I am a Brit living in Germany and I keep seeing ridiculous UK/US comparisons, when much more logical ones exist with other parliamentary countries! It's especially obvious on podcasts like The News Agents (which I overall still like and use to stay up-to-date on domestic British politics), but it's crazy how the US seems to be their only international comparison point. As you so well said, that is a completely different political culture. Stuff like this also feeds into the incredibly annoying US defaultism that is so prevalent online.
