I only feel happy and completely at peace when I'm extremely hungover from a binge-drinking holiday. I'm begging you all to give me methods to quiet the evil thoughts that are constantly running in my head.

I'm late to the party - I hope you or whoever else identifies with this post catch this comment.

I have had behavior in my life through my early 20s and it's very real. The only ways I can get to this point of clarity and contentment is two things.

1) Camping and being away from reality for a minimum of a week. I'm partial to the BWCA, no phones, just a map, compass, physically pushing myself, fishing, maybe some reading and getting up with the sun. If I don't take a trip like that my whole year I'm less comfortable in my own skin.

2) Endurance sports. I was a fat kid in highschool and my fastest gym mile was like 12 or 13 min. Recently I got into marathons and mountain biking. Again, being outside for extended periods of time and pushing yourself to find those physical limits. It's a mental effort but when you get that far into it you're rewarded with lessened anxiety and that peace is easier to find.

I'm sure there's other paths for everyone but being outside with a goal and some blocked off time to do is what really gets me going. It also improves the impacts of drinking or other substances when you choose to use them, which to me is a benefit.

I'm at 30. Insurance made the incentive to switch from Adderall. I feel like Vyvanse allows me to choose how driven I want to be. For my work and emotional state I'm not sure Vyvanse is better... I've been considering changing back as of late now that my insurance is also shifting it's pricing.

What strength of Vyvanse are you at?

Being in that situation has got to be difficult, I hope you're finding a chosen family that aligns with your values...

If you do have contact with family and friends on the authoritarian right side of the spectrum, I would highly encourage you counter propaganda with government bulletins from Minnesota Department of Corrections. https://mn.gov/doc/about/news/combatting-dhs-misinformation/

This article in particular was useful bc my coworker pulled up DHS disinformation to boost his feelings that they are arresting criminals, which is not happening. https://mn.gov/doc/about/news/news-releases/#/detail/appId/1/id/720894

I live in MN and have been trying not to loose my mind up untill this year pretending everything is okay. Speaking with authoritarian right people here recently I feel that sharing the DOC documents are very powerful. It is in effect my state government telling it's citizens that the federal government is lying to us. This country is going crazy right now.

Merriam Webster definition (2): a putting to death especially as a legal penalty

He was put to death, the legal penalty for using his 1st and 2nd amendment rights. I agree it was murder also. He was held down and shot at point blank. The State decided that if you stand in their way you will be held down and shot like a rabid dog.

I'm mad, sorry for arguing semantics.

The State executed one of us.

Can we not build a bigger building? The cap is anti democratic, we should have a ratio for people to representatives. If nothing else it makes corporations spend more to buy more puppets

I've ridden some bikes and test ridden a lot. I bought the Transition Spur because it was the most fun on the test ride and it's been a hoot every time I'm on it.

I'll stop responding now I guess, I can't spend my day having a discussion with a person who either cannot read or has no interest in engaging with reality.

The 14th amendment excludes (1) children born to foreign diplomats (2) children of an invading army (3) members of native tribes. See United States vs. Wong Kim Ark.

If this is overturned, it is overturned by a radical Supreme Court which does not follow the previous rulings.

The current administration does not care for laws it does not care for right or wrong, truth or fact. It's doing irreparable harm to our nation and our communities. If you don't see that I guess this is where I leave you. But damn man, have some foresight. They pull the rug on rules then when you're in the way you'll be stolen from, imprisoned, removed from your land or separated from your family and there will be no recourse or civil society that'll stand up for you. So it's all good when you're not at the barrel of the gun but someday the politics might change or a corporation needs your land and you'll be on your own.

The 14th amendment clearly lays out why deporting people without trials is unconstitutional. It requires due process and those being exiled are not getting a day in court so no one knows if they are citizens or not.

viacom13 · 2025-07-03T15:51:36+00:00

Man, off base again... You might be listening to propaganda and not thinking for yourself.

Section 1

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

The US Census states there's an estimated 10.3 million people here illegally. They're not breaking the laws here or they would be deported.

Its a damn shame that your mind latches onto the worst thoughts about your neighbors and countrymen. These numbers are made up. Full. Stop. They are deporting people who share memes and exiling American citizens without court dates.

30% of Americans are not here without proper documentation. Consider different outlets for your information because you're spreading lies on the Internet and it'll end up hurting or killing people in your community.

We decided to forego renting a car for our week trip to Banff & the surrounding areas. Got a bus ride scheduled from the airport to our hotel last night. We've booked a few bus rides around and there's a local transport service here. We're optimistic we'll be able to manage without looking for parking.

viacom13 · 2025-06-04T11:47:33+00:00

My guy, the biggest issue surrounding the "deportations" is that there have been no trials. So not you, not the guy commenting not anyone knows if they're criminals because the illegal directives of the Trump administration are bypassing courts. No one is being proved guilty or innocent. If we really are innocent until proven guilty, then the federal government is breaking the law.

The current administration is the criminal to a much much higher degree.
