The extent of empathy for strangers should be "that sucks" or "I'm sorry" and then getting back to caring about those closest to you. Anything more and you're gonna get burned out.

Climate change is bad, especially when the people in power are corrupt idiots who subscribe to a "gently caress you, got mine" climate policy. There is good news, though: 1-The Earth will survive 2-Life finds a way (even if it's not human life) 3-It's going to be a hell of a lot easier for humanity to adjust to the changes on Earth than spending time and money moving the population to planets with 25% of our gravity (Mars) or a corrosive and stifling atmosphere (Venus), and that will hopefully be the great punchline when Elon Musk tries to tunnel his way to Mars

I've asked about this once before in this thread and nobody could find it, but I'm going to try again: Many years ago there was a thread, I'm 90% sure in GBS version 1, about someone teaching in rural China, and somehow he was doing an assignment where the students had to write questions that they had for LGBT people, and he posted those questions in the thread. The questions were about what you would expect from a rural conservative society with no sex education and only second- or third-hand experience with openly gay people, stuff like "why did you choose to like men" or "aren't your parents angry you won't give them grandkids" or "I read that gay people get AIDS, aren't you worried about AIDS?" Innocently ignorant stuff. This being the bad old days of GBS there were plenty of earnest replies but there was also a very vocal minority posting "hey OP, give this to your students: 'dear student, how loving dare you. How can you be so stupid, it's not our job to educate you ...'" I think the thread was closed or gassed because it devolved into a slap fight. Does anyone else remember this thread, or did I just dream it?

I remember a lengthy thread about someone talking about their experience teaching in China, but I'm not sure it was the same one. Could be, though - I remember it covering a lot of ground.

I vaguely remember, this was either a really big thread or one of the rotating subforums, where only positive input was allowed. Sounds like a good idea right? Except goons took it and ran to its logical extreme where it was all kind of tongue in cheek, borderline Orwellian "That doesn't sound all that cheerful to me Citizen  " nonsense hellscape. This sounds incredibly vague as I try to type it out, anyone else remember this or did I imagine it in some kind of fever dream?

I've never been a fan of him- my wife loves him. He just always seemed to play the same character to me in everything I'd seen. Then I watched Boston Legal, which needs more love. After seeing him not be Robert California, I decided that Spader plays himself in most things, and starting loving California with the mental image of it being how he is IRL. When he drinks the Coconut Penis energy drink, then says he misses original flavor- straight penis flavored, loving kills me.

Elephant Ambush posted:Thank you. This is the shortest version of what I was trying to say all along in other threads. Unfortunately depression isn't really rational like that. Once you start falling into a pit everything just seems worse and worse. Sometimes you find reasons to make things seem worse. And since we live in a 24hr news cycle, everyone is competing to see how terrible they can tell you the world is now. It's why it's extra terrible that D&D can turn into such a toxic swamp. I had to stop reading the USPOL thread for a while because after a while it just turns into a non-stop depression wank fest. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)
