    Good luck. I really hope you break this destructive mind set you have chosen to live in.

    You’ve turned out to be one of the better libbie posters. Seriously.
    I like it when folks aren’t afraid to be honest.

    Dude seems really sad. I feel bad for him.
    He had so many exaggerated takes it's hard for me to address - but I can hear the pain and hopelessness in that post.
    I really feel sorry for this man. I hope he gets help.

    Without doubt your projective posts reveal you to be one of the least self aware people posting on this site.

    Yeah I know. I have to assume his feelings are real. It is just sad that some people get so sucked into this stuff that it warps their perception of reality. It’s easy to get all wrapped up and outraged about stuff that in reality has little to do with your own day to day life. To a degree I think it happens to all of us, but most of us have enough perspective to avoid going too far down the rabbit hole.

    I’m always aware that trolling is a possibility. Given the level of effort it strikes me as real, but of course we will never know.

    Like a work camp? Maybe a colony on an island somewhere?

    "The doctors say I'm fine but I know my body" part seems a little suspicious to me, but I don't know how anyone can be certain. I would chose to believe anyone with a short lease on life wouldnt chose to spend their time here arguing and getting mad.

    Well you said you think you’re drying. Tiredness is to be expected.

    And they prefer electric cars over gas powered.

    Norway is a oil country, they would prefer some people keep using fossil fuels, all the rest, yeah.

    My son and his family returned earlier this week from a 10 day visit to Norway. Loved the country and the people. Quiet, clean, friendly people. Impressed with transportation options. Said cars are overwhelmingly electric.

    Maybe they are happy as long as other countries are buying their oil, it funds a lot of their welfare state. It is a nice country, its definitely a contrast to the US.

    I recall OrlandoGator once posting he had a health condition of some sort and would never have children because of it.
    I'm sorry you are ill.

    They are in an enviable position. $1.4T sovereign wealth fund and its earned 6% in the first quarter. If only they could do something about the climate…

    You've shared several wildly refutable thoughts, including the bit about black/Hispanic countries not being prosperous. This one is also crazy. Have you been to Brazil? It's extraordinarily diverse.
