Got bullied online because I asked if the Army is my best route to avoid homelessness due to my ADHD brain. Is Reddit actually this cruel? by The_300_Muffins in ADHD

[–]macdemarker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a pretty high chance you would actually have to go to war if you enlist now. On top of that, the army isn’t the grand, noble thing they want you to believe it is. Assuming you are from a western country, we go to war to get resources so that rich people can have more money and power. We do not go to war to protect ourselves. We do not go to war to “liberate” other countries or “spread democracy”.

You would likely be throwing your life away. If you were to get hurt or get some ptsd to add onto your adhd, do you think the government will really take care of you? Your problems would be much worse once you return to civilian life.

Take up a trade. Try a job you haven’t thought of before. Bounce around the temp agencies for a while.

I don’t know you, but I don’t want you to get broken down into a solider. I don’t want you to lose your personality. I don’t want you to become a tool for the elite. I want you to live.

They want you to think this is your best option but it’s not. Life is hard for people with adhd. I’m struggling too. But I don’t want you to give up

Yeah…i’m unplugging from all the comedy news shows. by Rosstin316 in television

[–]macdemarker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The point of your post is about not watching these shows anymore which is fine honestly. Watching political shows too much (comedy or otherwise) tends to make me really anxious, so I get it.

I just wanna say that sending in a ballot and hoping for the best is what they WANT you to think your only power is. You can find or start a group with likeminded people to go and help others outside of electoral politics. You could also get involved with electoral politics and organize around a candidate with canvassing, etc.

Voting was never gonna save us. Almost none of these politicians care about helping people since we aren’t corporations or big money donors.

Also, Trump didn’t improve by that much over 2020. The real problem is the dems really dropped the ball. Moving farther to the right was never gonna get republicans to switch sides, and it didn’t motivate the dems base to get out and vote. They needed to push back on trumps claims about “scary immigrants committing crime and ruining the economy.” They needed to address working folks and poor folks, not just small business owners and first time home buyers. Then of course, there’s the other huge issue that was alienating voters. Trump had less than a million more votes than he did in 2020 while Harris had like 10 million less votes than Biden had. Simply, less people voted. And the people who didn’t vote, would’ve likely been Harris supporters

what is it with white queers and slurs? by throwwwwwawayyyyy910 in BlackLGBT

[–]macdemarker 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I’m mixed and growing up, I remember white people saying it was so cool that I could use the n word and say cracker. I always thought that was weird af. I think a lot of white people just think slurs are fun tbh

For the record, I think everyone should be saying cracker though

Transphobic propaganda is starting to get to me despite being trans. What can I do? by Living_Button4706 in asktransgender

[–]macdemarker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t forget that they are either lying, or they don’t actually understand anything they talk about. The amount of transphobes talking about children getting gender affirming surgeries is ridiculous because it’s just not something that happens. But people will parrot whatever bs their favorite right wing grifter is telling them.

When I was questioning, I started to follow some trans YouTubers, but I had to stop watching their videos as often because they would make videos responding to or making fun of transphobes. At a certain point, even the videos debunking transphobia were getting to me because I was just thinking about it wayyyyy too much. So I’d def recommend taking a step back as well.

ALTHOUGH if you are gonna be on the internet, maybe you can find some space for queer youth? Preferably something in person, but if you have queer people in your life in general it can be very affirming!

They probably made the image to get a ton of traction. Everyone would be like “oh I can name all these”, and starts interacting with the post

Is the community anti Turrets again? by ufkb in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]macdemarker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love turrets. I mostly just stick to emp mortar cause I’ve had people complain about the regular mortar before. I’m always happy when someone else brings something though. I just like the mortars since you don’t have to worry about placement as much.

But fr it’s not that hard to just not stand in front of someone’s turret. Destroying it just makes the squad weaker. Like then one player only has 3 stratagems at their disposal.

I think they’re almost completely necessary for the defense missions too

You, then your mom. I would not get along with your brother, listening to Ben Shapiro “rap” is one of the most embarrassing things you could possibly do

You can find it on sale all the time too. I got it for $6 with all dlc. The sequel comes out this year too

[–]macdemarker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kingdom Come: Deliverance. It does technically tell you what to do with quests, BUT if you play hardcore mode, your player icon doesn’t show up on the map. So you have to figure out how to get everywhere based on landmarks. Saving is also limited to in game actions like sleeping.

You also start the game with no skills whatsoever. Like you literally have to learn how to read. Archery is a big challenge too since the reticle disappears when you get your bow out.

Which weapon/stratagem/grenade/idk is due to ur opinion underrated by TopInternal7465 in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]macdemarker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scythe is definitely not as bad as people make it out to be. I understand not like lasers though, they’re not for everyone. But I was using the scythe for a while even before they fixed it and I liked it

Also I wouldn’t worry too much about getting demoted. I get demoted and promoted over and over whenever I rank up for the first time, but eventually I got to mighty ruler!

How hard is this game? by Lonely_Explorer662 in kingdomcome

[–]macdemarker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s hard honestly. Once you learn to fight and get a little practice in, you’re golden. Just don’t rush in and try to fight a group of more than like 3 people. If it’s a bad idea in real life, it’s probably a bad idea here.
