The crux of the story: It’s worth noting that an upvote here or there won’t put you under scrutiny, but if you’re found to be consistently upvoting several pieces of content that violate Reddit’s policies, you will receive a warning.

No.

What’s the point of sturring up and magnifying all the negative energy? venting – helps many people to relax looking for reassurance Don’t these people understand they’re only perpetuating it? Talking about possibilities doesn’t make them happen ( or not ). same selfishness at the root of much of the chaos going on right now That would be oligarchs manipulating the easily swayed trump voters to vote against America’s interests while helping the oligarchs. I guess it’s no wonder this feels endless. As long as you are alive there will be problems to solve. Would I be correct in writing that when you read other people’s worries you become anxious yourself? Is that the issue?

Today I learned that there are 25 year olds who can afford 2,000 square foot houses. I haven’t had your surgery, but I have had my wisdom teeth out which involves a much milder sedation. I would take that day off. Surgery has never frightened me. I’ve trusted the surgeons and thanks to anesthesia “I am not there”. To put your surgery into perspective my father went in for a checkup. The condition with his heart was so serious he was scheduled for open heart surgery only 1 week later. Almost any kind of medical appoint these days takes at least a month to get. That is how serious it was. Your situation isn’t life threatening. You did the right thing getting the endoscopy first. Many reasons for not moving organs that aren’t a problem.

You may be surprised by this, but this a frequently posted sentiment on Reddit. You aren’t even 30. You are young. You have the luxury of time. Given what you wrote I’d like to suggest therapy.

I think it kind of does. In only 3 centuries since the Industrial Revolution many experts are concerned that the Earth will soon no longer be able to sustain us. Pollution and poison are everywhere. A large portion of the environment is destroyed and getting destroyed quickly ( rainforests ). The silver lining of the dark ages is where we are now was delayed for several centuries. Time for generations of people and other animals to have their lives.

That is awesome. Good for you! Seriously. I was thinking beyond the mundane.
u/TheBodyPolitic1

Look at what the 1%ers are doing with technology now. Maybe there is a silver lining to humanity behind held back for 8 centuries.

Though I may never find it I like to believe that something exists beyond bills, hassles,SUVs, traffic jams, computers, and stupid hateful people.
u/TheBodyPolitic1

That is amazing. Thanks for posting it!
