  • Thanks man. I appreciate this. Sorry you went through that. I think the thing I’m mostly conflicted about the feeling of “mourning.” I don’t want this dude back in my life but it does suck that I don’t have a best friend any more. I’m already introverted as it is, so making friends has always been tricky. Now in my late age, I think I’m just going to be going the rest of my life without that sort of relationship ever again.




  • It’s not entirely my story to tell so I’ll keep it vague.

    It turned out a guy I considered my family groomed someone he met through me. His victim recently confided in me what he did to her years ago. I believed her so I confronted aforementioned “best friend” who spent more energy trying to gain sympathy over how he was “in a dark place” and that’s why he did what he did than acknowledging that he did something absolutely despicable. I kicked him out of my place and told him he’s dead to me. I’m still in the fallout of the whole situation.












  • I really don’t think we can say the pendulum isn’t being shifted in massive strokes overnight when this administration is literally destroying our way of life in massive strokes every hour. The time for the “lesser evil” was ages ago. The time for direct action is now.

    I’m always glad to stumble upon another NJ person on Lemmy! My anarchism flies out of the window when it comes to loving Jersey. It’s my home, despite people arguing I’m not from here due to the color of my skin. In my lifetime, sea level rising will reshape what this great state looks like. Homelessness in Atlantic City is bad now, it’s going to be a thousand times worse when the area is under water. This is why I don’t think we can settle for small changes. We need drastic actions, yesterday.
