I’m finding myself recovering from this mindset. I sold my house (EDIT: sold because I couldn’t work from home due to noise and neighbors threatened to kill me when I complained about noise) and moved in with a family member who needs a caretaker and was having difficulty finding one until I could find a condo, but interest rates and the sharp increase in prices I’ve seen since they announced the $17500 for first time buyers is making that not a reality. There is a terrible mold issue in this house and my face swells to a point I can’t open my eyes and I constantly feel like I have the flu. The mold doesn’t bother the family member so they are not willing to spend money to remediate. Now I find myself looking at apartment after apartment that is fine with someone having 2 cats but not my 11 pound dog. Now I’m in a position where I either have to get rid of a dog I’ve had for 5 years and effectively be blacklisted from adopting from a rescue again (believe me, they’re like the mob they find these things out) or stay where my health is in peril.

When I was 21 years old, I was in Afghanistan on a volunteer deployment to keep Kandahar City secure. We efficiently and effectively disrupted and dismantled insurgent networks for months.

But I was still just a dumb fucking kid, because I was only 21 years old. Let's show a little empathy here. We all know their actions were dangerous to others as well as themselves, and it should be condemned. It's a problem to be solved. But they're dead kids, at the end of the day. And that sucks.

Like a baby because I don’t intentionally traumatize other people by driving recklessly into oncoming traffic. I’ve seen dudes like these in providence literally play “chicken” with oncoming traffic just to scare the drivers.

Sounds like they encountered the consequences of their actions and by doing so traumatized an innocent driver who has to live with this now.

The dirt bike/Batmobile style thing to “regular car” ratio in my neighborhood in NY is about 7 ( Batmobile/dirt bike) to 3 (regular ) so I’m pretty use to all that. It’s beyond excessive in my area though lol and I don’t remember the last time I didn’t have to struggle to find parking so I’m happy to hear that.
