Short on time before work so I’ll be somewhat brief:

have you tried journaling? That’s what i do. Just pen and paper or use logseq/obsidian/ whatever note app on your phone. Can’t be deleted like your social accounts or whatever. Helps me collect my thoughts and process stuff.

Shits rough and I’m sorry you’re going through all of that. Hope you find something or somewhere that works for you

Reread what i wrote. I don’t judge police officers for their profession

I judge people for their actions… the rules they choose to enforce.

If someone enforces bad rules, then yes, i will judge that and i won’t rethink that.

The reality is that complacency is complicity. I would agree that LW mods don’t make up the instance rules, but if they are actively enforcing the rules instead of turning a blind eye then that is something that can be judged.

And this absolutely is not comparable to someone’s sexual orientation lmfao. Judging based on someone’s sexual orientation is bad. Judging someone based on the rules they enforce is 100% fair.

Inb4 of any bs that I’m advocating anything. I’m not. I’m speaking generally and I’m saying if you enforce a rule you inherently support that rule and those it defends in that context

Lotterys are usually paid out in annuities where you would get that amount over a period of 10-30 years. However, they also give a lump sum amount which is usually ~half the stated amount and after taxes you could expect to receive 1/3 the stated amount.

Still, it’s generally best to take the lump sum unless you have very bad self control and would blow through the money.
