Because we have to acknowledge the systemic privilege of white people. I'm so very white. I have my problems and my concerns, but none of them are for my looks. Black people do not have that luxury.

Yeah it's not about that. It's about culture, history, systemic racism, discrimination, found family, community...

This "I don't see colour" argument is an old blind argument that ignores all of the above.

I never said that. You know that your comment is in bad faith. If you don't tell people your old name then they cannot have any comments about it

dude, calm down. maybe it's you? I changed my name while staying in the same job. 400 people had to learn my new name. i work in a school, so i told all the kids and the teachers. i go to a dance party every week, i've known the people there for years. one day i was like "hey this is my name now". i didn't cut ties with a single person and nobody has ever attacked me. maybe you're just a terrible person?

As a guy who just changed his name: this last sentence just is unnecessary.

There's more than one. I saw one of them lately, she's doing good. We talked and hugged. That felt good, a little closure.

Mostly I don't know since I am so bad with people and they stay the fuck away from me which, good for them.

There's some I really grieve for. The things I couldn't do. The things I was too bad at.

I hope all of them are better than I am.

Holy shit today was the worst day for me, too. I constantly changed rooms forgetting why I went there. All the time.

" it pains me to see how, after murdering most of my family in the Holocaust, you empty the word antisemitism of meaning to silence critics of Israel's occupation in the West Bank (the topic of our film) and legitimize violence against Palestinians"

That's from the ISRAELI maker of the movie. Who feels unsafe in Germany. But his movie documenting the real going-ons is antisemitism? Fuck off, Germany. Sincerely, a German.

I thought this was just click bait. But some of the answers are actually interesting (and scary in that way) how people can "rationally" explain how they fell for the lies of trump ("he cares about Muslims", "he is a political outsider", "he gets things done"...)

Very well written and put together. Thanks! None of this is new. But I am still saving your comment as bookmark, because it's so concise.

Well there's hope that it incentivices the American people to revolt or revolution. So...yay?

Just take the T

Yeah as the others have written, the withdrawal off venlafaxin is rough. If I could change one thing in my life it would be to taper it off for half a year or more. I took it out too quickly I think and dealt with the symptoms of withdrawal for months.

Bupropion for me was the first antidepressants that seemed to really work while still making me feel human. Lots of bad stuff didn't happen. Now I'm slowly getting rid of it. It's gonna take me months this time... Good luck with it. Everyone's experience is gonna be different.

Don't worry. The others will follow their big daddies. Germany will probably follow. And with Germany, must of the EU, unless they want to anger Germany and not get any funding....

"raises risk of war"???!? The ATTACK raises the risk of war?! How deluded must someone be to write that. Is it not war if a nation straight up shoots missiles at another country??

I know your point. Access to professional help is a privilege that few have.

I think next best thing is socialising. There's probably groups in your area (see social media for that, meetup, Facebook, forums) that meet up and talk. I highly recommend in-person meetings. Also I tried giving my body some help with food. Carbs give you some serotonin.

Damn that's a strong text. Thank you for that. That really moved me

The more I aged, the more "hopes and dreams" I gave up on. I guess that's the normal human experience. You might want to be a pro in sports or a dancer or a famous doctor...but then you grow out of the age where reaching those is possible (dancing goes first...).

Other than that, I've given up on so many hopes, only to then later get back to them. Like the hope of connecting to people, or to make art, to teach,...those and more are things I gave up on and later readopted.

So give up hope, but it might just come back :)

Imagine saying "it dishonours the victims" to one of the actual victims

i don't know what you've been smoking, but every day is a lifetime of men.
