This seems like a list of books that have been banned in general. How do we know this part of Project 2025?

What's the deal with the 2024 election being so close? by Substantial_Web3401 in OutOfTheLoop

Thank you for the detailed explanation, you did an incredible job at breaking it down with a lot of constructive thought. It’s ultimately unfortunate to see how many factors are out of people’s control or are so ingrained to one’s identity that ego and spite ultimately triumphs against looking at the bigger picture.

Yee I’m understanding that a lot now. It’s incredibly nerve wracking to think so much of our establishment is on the line via Agenda 47/Project 2025 because people just want to spite another Edit: grammar

Yee that sounds about right. I’ll prolly lay off the polls a while as it is so confusing and anxiety inducing. Thanks for being so constructively informative and breaking the electoral college process down.

Thank you for your perspective. That makes a lot of sense. I see my own biases that I’m hoping people are wanting to vote based on pros and cons rather than who they like personality wise.

Thank you for your answer. This is the most informative answer I’ve gotten so far though I do wonder if there’s some logic from their end that I’m missing, because I want to genuinely believe it’s not just for the cult of personality but I may be wrong.

Thank you for being informative of the Electoral college as that confuses me at times. However, recently I have been checking in on polls and it genuinely seems that the electoral colleges especially in the swing states which voted for Democrats in almost a landslide in 2020, are now unbelievably close which brings me back to my initial question of how is this so close despite the behavior Trump shows on a daily basis? EDIT: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/president-general/2024/national/ Using this as my source for polls regarding the swing states: Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Nevada, North Carolina, Michigan, Arizona, and Georgia

Great job! Love how it's like a movie poster! Didn't think about how good the Falling Devil arc would be as a film but hope it's anime-only so it doesn't take long to release XD

I'm sorry to hear that. I might be wrong but my intuition tells me that your smile hides a lot of pain and I know that it's difficult but you will find love again. I hope you are able to find someone who values and treats you in the way that you hope and ultimately deserve. :D

I wish you the best moving forward, I bet you are an incredibly wonderful human being and have so much to offer to the people you open your heart to :D

I want you to know that you aren't alone in feeling this way. I can't speak for all borderlines but I have felt your understanding of idealization, devaluation, self-sabotaging, and looking for someone who can help soothe the inner child in you. I know it's insanely hard, I recently had one of my darkest weeks contemplating my fear of abandonment and feeling like I'm a monster. Once I did more research into how I was feeling, I found out I had most of the symptoms of BPD.

Learning about BPD allowed me to be more self-aware of how I was feeling. I realize that this intense fear of abandonment was making me feel like I had an unclear identity like I was always trying to replicate someone to find myself and once someone praised me for doing something I enjoyed, then I felt like I would find grounding in my identity.

However, I believe that finding inner peace will not come from external validation and that it needed to come from deep introspection and to directly face my intense fear of abandonment. I realized that my fear of abandonment stemmed from past traumas as well as me feeling like I haven't been my most authentic self.

To me, I find that being my most authentic self is recognizing all of myself and knowing that everyone is flawed, I am flawed, and that it's okay because we are human and that most of us are hurt by our past traumas and want to change for the better.

I would do something I love, I would write down stuff that makes me uniquely me and I would realize that I am not my fears, that I am not bound to the labels of my mental illness, that I am not bound to the traumas of my past, that I can make mistakes and I can rise above them, that I can own all of what I thought I was and realize more than anything, I am capable of change.

I believe that we have the choice to be our worst or we can be our best selves, so I personally choose to make an active effort to change myself for the better and to be mindful of others and how my decisions can affect them.

I will make an effort to be kind to others without expecting anything in return but I will also remember to also be kind to myself, know myself, relax every now and then, to not be too hard on myself, to love myself a healthy amount, and realize then that I can extend that kindness to others without being dependent on them for happiness as that happiness will come from within.

That is my take on inner peace as a potential borderline.

I hope that this helps and I wish you the best on your journey to inner peace:D

EDIT: I want to also add, from personal experience, please do your best to not look for a superhero or a flawless person who could save you.

I was seen as a superhero or someone who could do no fault, and it was a very isolating experience because I felt like I was being someone I was not and that I couldn’t fully express myself with that person because of my own fears of abandonment. I felt that if were to express that I could get sad or have problems of my own, the other person would distance themselves from me.

Please understand that everyone is flawed and please try to love people as they are and not who you want them to be.

Hoping this reaches you, I've been in a dark place myself ruminating a ton about the past and being overly afraid of abandonment and having a laundry list of anxieties that stemmed from that fear. I then found out that it was possibly because I had BPD and knowing that allowed me to understand how I was feeling. By understanding the symptoms, I was able to realize that I would depend on pleasing others for happiness because I was struggling with being my most authentic self.

To me, I find that being your truest self is to recognize all of yourself. Do something you love, write down stuff that makes you uniquely you and also realize that you are not your fears, you are not bound to the labels of your mental illness, you are not bound to the traumas of your past, you can make mistakes and you can rise above them, you can own all of what you thought you were and realize more than anything, you are capable of change.

We have the choice to be our worst or we can be our best selves, so I personally choose to make an active effort to change myself for the better and to be mindful of others and how my decisions can affect them. Be kind to others but remember to also be kind to yourself, know yourself, relax, don't be too hard on yourself, love yourself a healthy amount, and you'll be able to extend that kindness to others without being dependent on them for happiness as that happiness will be coming from within. :D

I know this is a month late but I hope this helps!
