It would be nice to see the collapse discussed in real-time, but also have something to reference in the future as significant turning points.

        Sorry, I’m guilty of this. For me, my more whimsical threads and comments are a healthy distraction from our new American autocratic hellscape. Some escapism is good for mental health. Sometimes I slip and mention of American politics because that’s what’s causing me stress, and that’s a mistake. I shouldn’t bring up politics so much.

          Modern, polite societies - “Never bring up politics or religion in conversation, as you will never, ever change someone’s mind about those two subjects, and it’s both ignorant and arrogant to think you can”
