My issue is trying to get other people that have posted photos of me to take it down. Currently working through this.
Fortunately there’s not too many but still enough to be annoying.
But yes government and corporate overreach scares me.

A quote that made me laugh yesterday “Delulu is the solulu” 🤣

I know for me lack of sleep really ramps up the anxiety and turns it on to the maximum setting.
The only thing that’s helped me is to talk about my anxiety with someone (anyone). Usually that dials down the anxiety well enough to sleep which then allows me to cope better.
This is a cycle that gets repeated every so often.

Hmm might check this out.

People sicken me. It’s hard to find compassion in this scenario.

If you look hard enough at the hero’s of history, you are likely to find some unpleasant things. Gandhi, Mother Theresa, Winston Churchill. I could go on.
Don’t be delulu about human nature. There’s good and bad in everyone, it’s just a matter of degree and hopefully most of the time there’s more good than bad.

To clarify, I wasn’t suggesting everyone does feel this way.
However it must be said that my view on Australian life is hardly an outlier. Official statistics on the matter are alarming and rising, and these are official numbers, to say nothing of all the people that aren’t being accounted for.

Yes I was going to say the safety net is basically non existent these days. If you don’t have friends or family unless you can get out of hot water relatively quickly you are in real trouble.

For myself I am trying to be more forgiving and compassionate. Really looking at my own flaws and mistakes and then within that framework, keep that in mind when someone else is not being particularly nice. I like to imagine people as babies and ask myself, what happened to you in life for you to turn out this way?
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.

I think we still have an awful lot of Britishness I’m our institutions and so on. And probably a lot of globalist corporate and consumer culture now as well - hence the emptiness.

I think one of the greatest myths we are told in modern societies is that you have to do it all on your own and you have to pull yourself up by your own bootstraps.
The truth is life can be terrible. No man is an island and humanity needs each other. I think the lack of care leads to an awful lot of problems and it starts in childhood.

Similar things happened in Mexico but they still have a distinct culture. It’s not quite the same I guess because the Mexicans recognise the Aztecs weren’t the nicest people either so I guess it’s more complicated.
But I think the fact that we were but a mere settler colony has a lot to do with it. Even then, the previous Christian traditions, whether you subscribe to them or not are also evaporating.

Overall Australia lacks culture and meaning, and has unfortunately become a mere economic zone. Probably why in part so many people are depressed and anxious.

I hope so. I just have to make sure I don’t self destruct myself through one way or another in the meantime.

One of the things I pray for is my nephew to have a secure life full of love, so that they aren’t pushed into some of the scenarios and resulting relatively harmless but nonetheless questionable choices and that I’ve made.
I want them to be able to choose the right thing secure in the knowledge that even if it blows back on them they are safe enough in life to withstand it.

It’s interesting because a lot probably is suppression but I don’t know how much is just die to old age.

Mental health wise I’ve been in real crisis for the past couple of weeks but I seem to have come back from the brink somewhat.
Is it weird that I don’t remember large chunks (think years) of my childhood?

I wish only the best for Miss Seagoon: happiness, or at the very least peace and contentment.

Parents might have an issue with me abducting their child and taking them to a foreign country lol but it’s an intriguing idea.

Doesn’t really put food on the table or provide shelter but I guess it’s better than nothing.

The thought of my baby nephew having to go through even a fraction of the challenges I’ve had to live through in this sick world just breaks my fucking heart.
The thought of that sweet innocent child exposed to any of the dangers I’ve had to face makes me die inside.
And unfortunately I’m still living through those same dangers and trying to stay alive myself. So if and when he faces those dangers I’m not sure what resources I have to help him, since I apparently don’t have the answers.
I think I’ve only got prayers left at this point.
The one thing I can do if I die is at least leave him what I have in a will.

As a benevolent lord and commander of the universe I am not part of the government and I will enact the ban.

True. I’ll make an exception for aussie.zone.

I’m not sure you can without government overreach and inevitably trampling on someone’s rights.

Unpopular opinion. All social media should be banned. I’m sorry but it’s just too toxic.

Blow up Australia and start again.

That would fall under “mandatory” then.
As for cultural signifier I’ve known plenty of people that went to Uni who honestly would forget to breath unless you reminded them.

Rather than projecting far into the future which you can’t predict and can’t fully control focus for now on making it through hour by hour.
Ask yourself, can I make it through the next hour? If yes, keep going.
If your current residence doesn’t feel safe, while you can’t flee from it completely, stepping away from it might be helpful. For example go to the library, hell even if a shopping mall. You don’t need to buy anything.

Yes a lot of uni courses shouldn’t exist and really should be apprenticeships or a form of.

A uni degree in Comp Science. Usually what they teach you is out of date and by the time you are done something new has come along anyway.
I feel like in this field certifications probably hold a bit more weight.
