Humanity is a lost cause. Still worth fighting for.

Anything with George Guidall.
He has a deep, resonant voice. I don’t know how else to describe it, but it’s very comforting.
He has done probably hundreds of audiobooks but one series I remember him doing was The Cat Who… line of mysteries. Very lightweight but fun books.
I was on a MUD (old multi-player internet text rpg) called Three Kingdoms when Princess Diana died. Over a hundred people online at the time from all over the world.
It was a huge shock for everyone, followed by a strange communal grieving for a well-known and liked international figure.
I totally get where you’re coming from but wanted to put the counterpoint, as obvious as it was.
She was caring for those who nobody else could for at that time, and to generally good effect day to day.
I’ve worked in group homes and know of the challenges you face in serving those who aren’t all that stable.
Just would never have advocated for that solution for anyone really. All that is said with historical knowledge and such.
Yours was a good post.
She was trying her best with that she had and knew at the time, even if she overreacted in the end, to terrible effect.
And forced a sane but disruptive man through a disabling procedure?
No. She went way the hell too far so she could protect her little kingdom and stay in power. She was not concerned with helping her charges improve their lot in life.

I do block them, but I will still call it out when I see it.
Go the fuck away, fascist.
Yes, but the warning was included in the subject. Also there’s no more obvious twist than that.
Knights of the Old Republic.
I’d heard for many years how amazing they were, so I finally tried them.
Each game has a major plot twist. Both are obvious enough but if you google anything the spoiler in the first game is ruined.
The one in the second I was assured was a better game but apparently only if you download the unofficial patch that finishes the game, and it still can’t save the game from the obvious fucking fact you’ve been carrying around the BBEG since the goddamned beginning while everyone tried to pretend otherwise.
People want remakes of these games primarily for nostalgia, and they do not hold up.

Don’t give anyone ideas.
“Johnny Dangerously” came to mind once.
Once.
Thank you! This last one was really a leap of faith, someone I barely knew at all who needed a place to stay. We’ve all been lucky!
A few times I’ve been there for friends and helped them through rough times just by being someone to talk to.
But I also helped my best friend and roommate by paying most of the bills while he developed his IT/engineering skills. He’s got a good career now but struggled for a few years.
Then I took someone in a couple months ago and she’s staying in my attic now. That’s going well, my wife and I get along great with her. Hopefully it’ll all turn out well.
She. The Republican bully was the woman.
Well, this is just my opinion as a jaded American, but I believe it means “Told off in a publicly embarrassing way that has zero actual consequence in the long term, so the powerful people of the party can wash their hands of the whole matter whilst pretending they don’t actually openly celebrate their fascism behind closed doors.”
