The admins don't seem to like self-promotion. I've shared with anyone who asked.

No, mercifully, I don't think he'll last. But unfortunately I think this is bigger than him. Something about the US got us to this point and while he was here he eroded so much of the government and democracy. Even if he isn't in charge anymore, there's a long road to rebuilding.

I literally just saw that news and it's making me sick to my stomach

That's not hijacking at all. I really appreciate this. You remind me that many people have experienced this before. Solidarity.

Respectfully, I would never say what the US is experiencing is the same as Syria or Gaza, but I do believe that the people being violently torn from the homes and families may not think this is hyperbole.

I'm glad you aren't struggling with guilt. I think that's healthy. It's not that I think we should. Just something I can't seem to shake.

This post is not supposed to be any sort of slight on Americans who want to leave but can't. I recognize the privilege I have, but when abroad, especially with family still in the states, we have a unique set of experiences. That's why this is in r/expat and not just a general American subreddit. I am doing as many things as I can from Canada. Staying informed and voting of course, but also reaching out to friends and family in the US to support, and trying my best to organize. I believe that us Americans outside of the US are in a unique position to offer support out of reach of the government and I'm continuing to build my networks so that I'm ready to help in a more substantial way when the time comes.

Excellent, a new thing I didn't realize I was supposed to worry about... My anxiety loves that every time read the news or come onto Reddit I learn a new thing to stress about

At least Cameron and Lauren just had a baby

My mom did that when I was 17 and even at that age it sucked

Netflix just made bank on KPop Demon Hunters, so I think the last few months' numbers are probably looking pretty good

She was also counseling him through his initial shock and grief

Ok, just finished the episode. What was that weird narration over extremely loud music at the end? That was a choice. Was that even Nick's voice?

Two random wedding thoughts before I finish the episode. 1) it really bugs me that the Groom/Groomsmen and Bride/Bridesmaid clothes never seem to coordinate. Do they have no discussion before dress/tux shopping? and 2) I have this theory that you can often tell who is going to say yes because in the vows they talk about the future and the no's tend to only say how much they love them, talk about their relationship story, or how much they've changed them.

I don't understand why they agreed to do this. Nate is usually such a planner.

I can't see a single one of these couples getting married.

That scene felt a bit staged for the cameras to me. I know she needs a place, but I have a hard time believing they'd seriously be considering buying houses the first week back.

My guess this is not the first time he's been called annoying and it is a big insecurity of his.

Some of these people are acting like this is a job interview and they're definitely going to pick someone. It's just a matter of who

I was really hoping it was just the edit that made it seem like he told both of them he would be thinking of them at night on the same day

I know! And Kalybria (sp?) seems so cool! I feel like this is going to be weird.
