    Listen my friend, nothing is ever as bad as it seems.
    The internet literally brings out humanities worst qualities, so taking a break might be good for you.
    Keep in mind that so much of what we consume from the internet is designed to make us angry, scared, or outraged. Best case, some people do that to sell newspapers, some people do it to manipulate us. In either case, I encourage you to step away from the computer and go outside.
    There are sports leagues all over town. Join one. Meet people. Hang out. Make friends. Have a drink. Avoid talking about politics.
    If you can't play sports anymore, consider table top games, or cards, or chess, or something that you can do with other people.
    There are communities all over this country that have groups of people coming together for stuff like that.
    Go to an arcade, go out and sip some coffee, go sit in a field and listen to the wind blow.
    The world is not all doom and gloom I promise - but it doesn't matter what I say. You have to believe it. Only you can make yourself happy. You have to decide to be happy.
    So do something to be happy. Buy a new game for your PS5 and just enjoy it. Go fishing. Pick up gardening. Go for a hike, ride a bike, pick up bird watching.
    Find something that makes you happy and go do it.
    And stop worrying about all this other shit.
    Please

    How they heck can you take this nonsense and all his subsequent posts that followed at face value? This is for the most part a board full of pretty intelligent people. I assume good heartedness is to blame but come one. Man I can see why scammers from Nigeria are so successful.

    It costs me nothing to be nice on this forum. Maybe it's a troll post. Oh well. I'll live.
    I don't always live by that rule - but it felt right today.

    About the only thing worth a damn I was able to glean from your entire post sir, was that you don't support Biden or the cancerous left.

    Thanks for that.

    As to the rest...grow a set, man the #$!@#$ up, and get to living your life, rather than whining about what ain't.

    ....and may I politely suggest that you put far less a premium on what people think of you, and who cares about you, and a lot more focus on promoting what you care about, and furthering your own interests.

    You know...competition...survival of the fittest...only the strong survive...what doesn't kill you makes you stronger...free market/better idea carries the day...that kinda of shit.

    FWIW.

    (making me feel icky at even induging your self-pity fest, but maybe this'l help you step back from the ledge):

    Number of white people in the US alone:

    231.9 million (2020)

    Population of Russia:

    143.4 million (2021)<-----they're pretty much all white there ya' know. Same with Ukraine (do you lament this white on white war? just curious...).

    Population of Mexico:

    126.7 million (2021)

    So the white population in US is roughly the combined population of Russia (again, they're all white there), Plus Mexico (lot's of white folk there too)--which is the most populous latin American country, less California.


    IOW, you're precious white seed is no where near extinction, not even close.



    Further fun:

    White alone, percent.. 75.8% ; Black or African American alone, percent(a).. 13.6% ; American Indian and Alaska Native alone, percent(a).. 1.3%.

    He's better off alone. I'm 23 years older than him and I thank God for that.

    I feel exactly as he does, but I have the happy fortune of having 23 years less left to exist in this economic zone than he does. Not as big on Trump as he is, though. There are no political saviors. He believes there could be one. I don't.
