Nah, fuck all that. I've stopped following most mainstream news and my mental health has improved significantly for it. Having a neverending sense of anxiety and impending doom 24/7 is no way to live, and it seems as if that's exactly the effect that major news outlets are trying to have. It hasn't fixed my anxiety but it's a huge improvement not having it constantly exacerbated day after day.

If you had to take a break from that bullshit to avoid going completely insane, then good on you for taking care of your mental health, and believe me that is not a valid reason for you to be respected less.

I'm sure he found a shitload of stuff that challenged that viewpoint.

...and then proceeded to completely ignore it

Ah! They said it! They said the name of the movie!

The Dragula was a drag racing car shaped like a coffin that Grandpa built in the 60's TV show The Munsters. Not sure if that's what the song is referring to, but given how much Rob Zombie likes old horror tv and movies and stuff, my guess is that's the most likely reference.

This meme is very thoughtful, very cutesy. Clearly you're not like other girls

Yeah when I do that then every time there's a gap another person comes to cut me off, so it ends up with me pretty much at a dead stop while people go in front of me over and over. People underestimate just how many asshole drivers there are around here lol

If I leave any kind of gap between me and the car in front, it is an inevitability that some jackass will swoop in to cut me off. Happened 7 or 8 times just yesterday. Texas drivers are a menace

You ain't gonna like it...

It's all over TikTok right now, just search 'breakdance australia' or something similar.

Being intelligent and aware of everything and then having that intelligence slowly taken away from you, feeling your mental capacity diminishing day by day while still having the awareness that it's happening, it's pretty heavy stuff. It really brings to mind my grandmother's decline after she got Alzheimer's, she was slowly losing herself and for a long time she knew it was happening and it was painful to watch, not to mention how brutal it must have been to experience it.

Flowers for Algernon is an amazing story, but it hits pretty hard after watching it in real life.

That story was amazing but so crushingly depressing, highly recommend
