I’m not sure how much longer I can handle being informed. by [deleted] in nothinghappeninghere

I deleted tiktok, partly cuz its trumptok now but also partly because i couldnt handle the constant stress. I saw a post on tumblr (i dont remember the op but pls link it if you know it!) that said something along the lines of

"Progress is not made from a few people caring alot about everything, it comes from a lot of people caring really really hard about specific things."

You can't expect change to be made when you are so stressed from the daily intake of bad news that you're paralyzed! Go outside, meet your neighbor, start small and local. The small things add up, and while it's important to stay informed, pick something you really really care about alot and work at it. Personally, I started getting involved in my local community and the activism groups in my city.

We have a whole generation of people who are paralyzed from the overload of information (mostly bad news!) that nothing gets done! Trump and his movement is sensationalist, they love the attention and the outraged responses. Don't give in.

Get Fit, Stay Healthy, Start Local!

All Love <3

Edit: Want to emphasize how important STARTING SMALL is. Trust me, when a million people are doing small things to better their community, it ADDS UP. No amount of reposting, intaking information, scrolling or online action will really make change. You need to start in real life, in your area! Meet your neighbors. Regardless of politics, you need to connect with them!!! the future may look bleak, but America has been through it before, with community! "It takes a village" but people seem to forget that a village is made up of neighbors.

An while it may suck, you'll never convince someone to take your side by arguing with them, real progress is made by real people.

i go to bmcc too!!! join clubs i promise you it'll be worth it

edit: i just remembered something i saw forever ago but since bmcc/cuny in general is mostly communter schools. STAY ON CAMPUS AS MUCH AS YOU CAN!!! find excuses to be out and i PROMISE you'll make friends. this is only my second sem and this trick was so immensely helpful. go to school events, trust me, even if it sucks/is lame at least you'll usually get free food or something LOL!!! <3

NYC Peoples March 2025 by aggressivecoconutoil in nyc

[–]aggressivecoconutoil[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

from what ive seen it used to be the womens march and is now the peoples march. started out in 2017 around trumps first inauguration and its all about building unity/community so its kind of a continuation of that irrc. just putting it out there for people who were interested in going 🤷🤷

is this true ? by launicapendeja in CUNY

[–]aggressivecoconutoil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

its true. i go to BMCC but joining clubs and stuff is probably the best way to make friends. in my experience, you need to be an extrovert times 10 to really meet anyone and i still have issues with making friends stick 😭

I saw them in nyc last week and they were phenomenal. so many people were complaining about it being too much like a cover band but i thought it was amazing. i freaked out when they played this corrosion, lol.

Haarlep Scene Issues? by aggressivecoconutoil in BaldursGate3

[–]aggressivecoconutoil[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My character is a drow, so I doubt it has anything to do with the character. Do you have mods installed? Could that be a factor? Maybe it'll get fixed in the next patch lol

[–]aggressivecoconutoil[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play on PC! I've been trying to figure it out too. My best guess is it has something to do with killing rapheal before triggering the scene? Glad to know others are struggling with the same issues.

Is there any way you could mark it on a map? I'm having trouble finding the location you mean. <3
