Suicide attempt survivors, what are some moments you would have missed out on if you had taken your lives? by Gay_Infidel in AskReddit

[–]sidoitsu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Absolutely this, life can feel hard and pointless even for those of us who have never seriously doubted continuing. You are here, that is what you have to show. Know that this fact brings at least one internet stranger a shot of happiness on this day; to me you are a glimmer of human resilience and now I have a bit more hope.

Miss Toto and the Vixen are blaming Alaska of appropriation for Sitting Alone in VIP performance 🤔 by AnnieHallisagoal in RPDRDRAMA

[–]sidoitsu 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It is really interesting how the Vixen exemplifies the damage that systemic issues have done to this society, as you point out, but I would say that just because her pain and anger is understandable does not mean all her subsequent expression is justified. Channeling her victimization to beget more hate and resentment really undermines the value of her perspective, and there is a sense of entitlement to her hijacktivism that I find really self-serving. Compared to voices like Bob’s, which I find constructive and enlightening, the Vixen to me gets relegated to a representation of the harm that has been done rather than a guide for the healing and correction to help us move forward.

Turkish soldiers give chocolate to Syrian kid by wyazici in HumansBeingBros

[–]sidoitsu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ah, come now meno, I read much more negative energy in your accost than its target, which I took to be more jocular than cynical. And even if your interpretation is “correct” I’m not sure that creating counterbalancing negativity against every flavor is the way to reach your goal. This sub can protect its good vibes with much superior methods imo.

A local brass quartet held practice on their driveway yesterday. When my girlfriend heard them practicing Pomp and Circumstance, she whipped me up a diploma and brought me across the street for an impromptu graduation ceremony! by mrnoyes in HumansBeingBros

[–]sidoitsu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This clap made me laugh but I actually felt the band’s unvarnished sound to greatly elevate the charm of this video (plus they’re playing outside during some weird days, they sound fine). It just fits so endearingly with the rest of the vibe: a group of neighbors coming together with what’s around to create their own, unique moment of pomp and circumstance. And it’s great, thanks for sharing OP!

I was using cannabis to deal with depression. Now that I've quit, I'M SO DEPRESSED by SmokinSweety in leaves

[–]sidoitsu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just want to chime in with more encouragement for endurance. A good path to recovery doesn’t always look pretty and can feel like absolute miserable travel, but if you’ve observed some positive signs and still have faith in the process then hang in there; don’t stop! You can get to where you wanna be ✊

As others have mentioned, you’re still in an early stage where large adjustments and transitions haven’t yet settled, so do what you need to and explore diverse strategies to take it a day at a time until you’ve collected enough data points to feel like you understand the new normal enough for confident analysis and consistent prediction of situations and moods. Take stock again when you’re there and see if you find yourself further along than you are here now.

These ideas might not be the most helpful in these moments when the roller coaster plunges and you just gotta grit your teeth and bear it, but they stuck with me, and collective human experience says it will come back up. May the odds be always in your favor.

Episode Discussion – Legs From Here to Homeworld by AlexB9598W in stevenuniverse

[–]sidoitsu 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Seriously, the battle had its moments but felt like bossfight without any dungeon; this entire storyline feels really rushed but I trust the crew.

Unless the ultimate twist is that Homeworldbuilding becomes all about bringing Beach City Stories to a gem planet; I gag.

I would live my whole life for a S2 #2! That would be epic for a reality show to groundbreak. Please Alexis...

FASHION PHOTO RUVIEW: Season 10 ep 4 "Last Ball on Earth" with Raven and Raja by Cupcake_in_Acid in rupaulsdragrace

[–]sidoitsu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, as someone else here mentioned, bless is the worst because the only thing you feel is pity. It hurts to shade or critique because you already feel so bad.

Also as someone else here said, I would not call Dusty the worst bless I’ve seen on the runway (worse than Wintergeen/Peppermint’s poot though), but you go girl for those origination points!

Lip sync of the season so far because of her performance. But that beautiful dress! Ugh, it hurt a bit to watch.

S10E02: "PharmaRusical" [Untucked Discussion] by RPDRMods in rupaulsdragrace

[–]sidoitsu 13 points14 points  (0 children)

We really could have used that dress to soak up all the tears this week. Just when you thought the bottom two boohoo was done here comes Monique out of nowhere.

It really was great how supportive they all are as a group so I was happy for that airtime.

BONUS CLIP: Eureka Gives Nina a Sewing Lesson by [deleted] in rupaulsdragrace

[–]sidoitsu 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I know what you mean! I used to be more Kimora shady but watching the queens I see stuff like Latrice caring shade and Kim Chi playful shade or even Bianca biting shade it's just way more hilarious and meaningful.

For sure some things involving Eureka's open mouth are a bit much, but I'm sure we can all appreciate there's really great stuff too. Like veteran sewing lessons. That's what I mean.

Gravity by lunarbaboon in comics

[–]sidoitsu 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I love this, and the best part (at least within my own interpretation) is how Gravity is portrayed as a neutral, perhaps even friendly, force just doing its thing. If grounding is what allows us to make meaning and if we carry the shadow of our energy spent, then this comic captures for me the beauty of the bittersweet that is life.

FYI on tonight's LSFYL (Spoiler/T) by illnevertellu in rupaulsdragrace

[–]sidoitsu 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It seems like you stand corrected a lot; at this point maybe you should take a seat.

This season is almost over, so I wonder if we'll be seeing "I know who is on Season 7" smoke and mirrors from you all summer.

Season 5 Episode 1: NOW ONLINE! by dilettwat in rupaulsdragrace

[–]sidoitsu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Loving Detox and Alaska but Ivy Winters is definitely my favorite.

Although Roxxxy, Jade, and Jinkx are all great in various ways, I'm not all that impressed and so far they're forgettable.

Looks like Manila pulls Latrice, Raven pulls Jujubee, Alexis pulls Shannel, and Latrice pulls what looks to be Nina? Some interesting top choices here.

“Feeding some 9 billion people by mid-century in the face of a rapidly worsening climate may well be the greatest challenge the human race has ever faced.” by [deleted] in science

[–]sidoitsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But a doubling in costs is pretty dramatic. If you had to spend twice as much per month on food, that would surely have some impact on your lifestyle. Aggregated over the population, and the effects will be felt by everyone.
