You want happiness? Stop demanding the world cushion your fragile psyche.
I don’t understand the strange strawman that’s being set up and knocked down here. With its repeated usage of “you” and “your”, the author seems to be speaking to their audience; but then casting their audience into a dark light, a tangle of declarations that don’t apply to most people at all.
When you’re hypersensitive to criticism, it’s because you’ve conflated your fragile ego with your worth. You’ve mistaken your current position in the hierarchy for your eternal fate.
Like I said, a strawman. Who is this for? I guess those who are hypersensitive to criticism, who have specifically considered their eternal fate to be reflective of their current position “in the hierarchy”?
Stop catastrophizing. Your boss’s nitpicking, your partner’s sigh, the anonymous troll’s jab—these are not existential threats. They’re feedback. And feedback is the universe’s way of saying, “Hey, here’s a map to a better version of you… if you’re brave enough to read it.”
Yeah, that’s not how trolls work. Trolls troll for kicks, hoping to trigger people. Trolling does not present you with a “map to a better version of you”.
What a strange soliloquy

The Sheriff from Stranger Things. I think it was in season 3 when he was crawling around in spore-filled tunnels that had already killed people and he just got a mild headache. Not even going to mention the Russian prison in season 4.

Sadly, No. They cancelled (the legendary) F Boy Island after only two glorious seasons and cut back on reality content. I don’t think they have a plan, they’re just marketing people hoping to brand their way out of this mess

Same! You can’t just keep stacking mysteries and weirdness on top of each other without any pay-off or explanations. The world-building is overall lacking and what bits of knowledge that we have don’t add up to anything at all.

I keep hearing so much love for Outer Worlds but I found it just… Meh. I didn’t mind it, but the “picture + text” endings for character arcs seemed rushed and underwhelming, and the character development was minimal.
And I make one “wrong” dialogue choice and so my ship’s engineer will be alone forever, and never truly happy? WTF

I saw this on the news and honestly wondered how many cops are required for this prisoner transfer? Because all those people are getting paid to walk a guy past cameras, and they’re probably all getting paid more than me, and there’s SO many of them

Also, for those companies that love to position themselves as “green”, commuting is a horrendous waste of resources and a cause of pollution. My company preaches about how important it is to lower your carbon footprint, then institutes policies that increase carbon footprints by the tens of thousands and don’t even blink.
