How Are You Coping?

[SmokingFap]

Hi all. I absolutely just do not want this to turn into a political debate thread. That all should remain on the Politics Board. But I personally had a brutally rough day yesterday after the election. Was on the verge of puking or crying all day. But I ended up chatting with several friends on here, who not only commiserated, but also got me to focus on other things. And I made myself play a couple of my favorite games on my phone, and I took a couple nice walks, and I made a tasty dinner, and finally, was able to jerk off before I went to bed. And when I woke up, the sun came up as always, and I felt a bit better.

So. If you've been going through it, how have you dealt with your fear, depression, frustration, or just plain anger?

I haven’t, this is gonna be terrible

Perhaps my open letter can give you comfort. That is my wish.

Dear Fellow Americans,

You all have seen the results of the 2024 Presidential Election and I realize that surely as pleased as many of you are, you have also stopped your lives in anticipation of my thoughts. I apologize, I had neglected to consider all of you - the people who pin every hope, dream, thought and aspiration, as well as the direction of their lives, on my thoughts and philosophies. I will share my thoughts and they are, of course, brilliant, without flaw, one could say - divine.

My disciples, as much celebrating as you may be doing, please take a moment and think of the leftists in your lives. Right now, they are in great pain. I know, I've seen the videos, perhaps you have as well. Expressions of genuine agony, choreographed and recorded, evocative music in the background, certainly not one-take videos but performed repeatedly until that perfect, totally spontaneous and authentic expression of faux personal pain is captured, then edited, put into post-production, shopped around for a corporate sponsor and finally, uploaded. Regarding those people in your lives, I just want to say...be gentle. Even though these people are operating under a delusional mindset characterized by narcissism and psychopathy, two pillars of the Dark Triad, but let us never forget that while they may be delusional, they are still morons, idiots and complete numb-nuts, irredeemable, and sadly, deserving of mass incarceration.

Still, we should be gentle. Because for many, they had no choice. They are inbred, the products of wanton, unchecked lust between siblings. But these people are the effect, not the cause! They were not the ones buggering their sisters or less commonly, brothers, no! Yes, they may be carrying on that ‘family tradition’ of liking their own kind and I mean really, really liking their own flesh and blood and yes, it does give one the ick. But until we know this, or are at least pretty sure, we need to be forgiving. It's easy to point and grin but understand they do not want to eat crayons, they are compelled. They did not choose to be exposed to massive amounts of lead and methamphetamine and can you fault them for eating the very bright and pretty paint chips? The answer is, of course, yes. But we're not going to do that. We're better than that. Well, I'm better. It is enough to know that during these last 4-9 years, you, my friend, were right and they…they were wrong. Every. Single. Time. How they lived to become adults or, rather, of the age of majority is an enigma that will haunt scientists and philosophers for centuries to come.

Did not Jesus once say, "He who hath no sin cast the first stone"? That is not a rhetorical question, I'm asking wasn't that...? No, that was Carl...I think...hold on. No matter, the sentiment still captures an important truth. Because when I was a young man, I had only brothers and I don't look at dudes that way, gross, are you kidding me, so I am not guilty of that unspeakable act and I, for one, am gathering some pretty kick-ass rocks to hurl at those moral reprobates. But can you all say the same? All of you? I'm looking at YOU, Larry, do you have something you'd like to share with the group? No? Fine....denial ain't just a river in Egypt, buddy. Jesus’ words.

I would also like to point out that as much as many of you may admire Trump, you do not admire him enough. This is not just a great man; he is a hero. The Greatest American Hero. Why? Because Donald Trump single-handedly not once but TWICE stopped a woman from becoming President. While I’ve never been one to engage in hyperbole, there is no way we can overstate the importance of that. It is equivalent to avoiding a comet from striking the planet - twice - and we all owe him our eternal gratitude. An apology is also in order, amirite?

Finally, I want to look ahead to 2028. Because I do believe we will see 2028. Had Harris been, well, she wasn't going to be "elected" but dang did she not get pretty close for a person who has never secured a single vote? I'm not one to criticize, I obviously don't understand democracy. But I do think we will see a 2028 and sadly Trump will not be allowed to run again, barring sweeping changes in American election laws, changes that are long overdue. With this in mind, I want to be prepared for this upcoming leadership gap and am announcing my candidacy for POTUS in the 2028 election and to that end, I want to offer an olive-branch if you will, to the source of many of America's ills - the emotionally imbalanced, feelings-based, if-there-weren't-logical-fallacies-I'd-have-no-logic-at-all...womenfolk. So it is with great pride, because how could you be me…and not be proud? I mean…right? It is with pride that I announce the First Pillar of my New American Agenda - End Women's Suffrage. Have not our nation's women suffraged enough? You cannot have suffrage without ‘rage’ and the time for anger, has passed. It is time, rather, to gently tell certain voices that have reigned these last several years, to STFU.

It is time to show compassion, with a healthy dash of yes, disgust and 2nd hand embarrassment the kind typically reserved for cringy performances of our National Anthem, you know, the ones where they totally forget the words? That kind. Gentlemen, I will be counting on your votes as I seek to end women's suffrage. Ladies, I will count as well on your vote because you will do as your husband, father, or any male at or over the age of majority, directs you do to, so sayeth the Bible. I will over the next 3 years, be announcing the other Great Pillars of my 2028 platform, announcements that I realize all of you stop your very lives to hear, know, commit to memory and incorporate as cornerstones of your daily lives. This is not for me; it is for you. My disciples. Thank you all and…may I bless you.

I plainly said that I didn't want this to turn into a political debate thread. Your open letter would be more appropriate over on the Politics Board. But I appreciate your input.

Lots of pot and hopefully good sex

I'm doing great.

And I, Your Lord...appreciate you. And there is no time for debate, there is but time...for unity. Debate...is for de-bators. Your plainspoken ways have been noted, surely thou knowest not how to read, for there is no debate, not in my world. Perhaps thou should refrain from your plainspeaking, unless thou hast read...that upon which thou opines. For having read, or having it read to you which would appear to be the more appropriate means of imparting my wisdom since peace and unity require no argument, no forensics, no debate...maybe seek to understand, then critique. For to critique without understanding is to open thine mouth, when the wise man would stay mute. And while I sense your overwhelming desire to respond, I beseetch thee, to zip it. Nahnhnah...zip. Shhhhh...zip it. So sayeth BobYesTheBob, your Lord.

TL;DR. And you're ignored.

 

[Chernosoth]

I am coping with the shorter days and colder rain by prioritizing outdoor exercise on dry days to get some healthy sunlight. Today I biked to a store and bought shirts.

 

[PaxNurgle]

I'm taking a break from that other forum. Too much toxicity, negativity and trolling, and the blatant Russian Bots (some of whom were openly exposed as such) and multi-username "sock puppeteers" made it and insufferable $hithole, even before the election happened.

I'd much rather hang out here talk about exotic and interesting cars with Brains N' Boobs and Lance Castro- something I was passionate about as a kid. Or talk about fun, interesting sexual escapades and erotic literature, which is why I signed up for this site after all.

My only concern re this site is a possibility of the government taking action to shut it down, or at least, block access to it from the United States.

 

[Chernosoth]

Now I'm coping with the consequences of drinking too much eggnog.

 

[SmokingFap]

You found eggnog already? Lucky bastard.

 

[PaxNurgle]

Eggnog is out here where I live.

Eggnog latte's are what get me going in the dark, wintery, bitterly cold "scraping frost off windshield" mornings we are now experiencing here.

 

[butters]

I'm busy catching up on outdoors stuff while the weather's warm but not boiling

We've another tree trunk (one of a multi-boled tree on the fenceline) down so it's a case of clipping off all the small shit ready to chainsaw. Then there's the sorting of the wood piles, with a truck bed full off-loaded and stacked today as well, a bit of prep work on the mower. Still got 11 of the original 13 chicks all roosting now up with the adults, and the kitten hit the 5lbs mark so gets his first flea&tick collar. Yesterday I was outside clearing a ton of leaves, raking them up and moving them over to the compost tank and pile. It's cathartic and prevents me from dwelling on the utter stupidity of so many Americans... fooled them once and then fooled them again even when it was right out there in the open. go figure.

 

[pussyhammer2021]

I feel better now than i did this time last week. I have optimism now. Thanks for asking.

Glad to hear it, hammer.

 

[Mo_Bandy]

Booze and blow mostly so same as ever

 

[LMWM321]

Was on the verge of puking or crying all day.

Yep.. my wife and I both. We both cried. I've kept the TV off except for sports and even then muted the audio so as to avoid hearing anything about the election.

Just cling to the people you love... what else can you do?

I will say (since this is a kink site) that we ended up fucking the next night. ..Which was a surprise b/c my wife usually avoids sex in the wake of bad news - she needs to feel calm and not stressed out to be horny. ..And she was anything but that on Wednesday. I, on the other hand, find that sex soothes my anxiety after a bad day, such as Wednesday. I remember how after 9/11, I wanted sex the very next day despite being totally moribund and deeply deeply depressed. My wife kinda said, "how can you think of that NOW!?" I said, "Because sex helps me cope. ..it's a way to forget the awful things going on." ..She understood, but wasn't ready for sex for 2 weeks. ..So her eagerness to do it after the election sort of surprised me.

 

[PintlerMan]

3 nights of peaceful sleep.

 

[Gator66]

I will start by saying that I am happy with the results. I am also pained to see so many people in my life that I truly love undergoing so much pain and anxiety. They don't deserve to be so very depressed. Over the past several weeks I have been startled by how much traumatizing messaging has been put forth from both campaigns. It made me think of my therapist's statements regarding communication that triggers our reptilian brain and is at the core of our fight or flight response. We as Americans need to heal from all of the overly traumatic vitriol that was used by both parties to shore up their base and get people motivated to vote. I suggest that we recognize the traumatizing language for what it is, manipulation, and then make a decision to not be manipulated ever again. I hope this helps in some small measure.

Hi all. I absolutely just do not want this to turn into a political debate thread. That all should remain on the Politics Board. But I personally had a brutally rough day yesterday after the election. Was on the verge of puking or crying all day. But I ended up chatting with several friends on here, who not only commiserated, but also got me to focus on other things. And I made myself play a couple of my favorite games on my phone, and I took a couple nice walks, and I made a tasty dinner, and finally, was able to jerk off before I went to bed. And when I woke up, the sun came up as always, and I felt a bit better.

So. If you've been going through it, how have you dealt with your fear, depression, frustration, or just plain anger?

I’m doing okay, thanks.

The thing about the USA is the things it does affects other countries.

Not sure Americans realize that or give a shit, which is why most others think Americans are turds, btw.

Biden should have resigned half way through his term but Kamala proved herself incapable early on of leading…which opened the door for trump.

Sucks but it is what it is.

Americans obviously like him, but what do they know?

Most of my money comes out of the USA, so if things are going to get better there for the top tier, its also good for me. Yay money!

Wish I had been there to comfort yo

 

[PaxNurgle]

I don't want to make this too political a post but I will say this (and keep it civil because God knows we need more of this.) I did not vote for Trump, for many reasons which I won't go into. However I am relieved about one thing. Had he lost, I have no doubt that there would have been far more widespread civil and political unrest, stoked by those who would seek to install him as president by force. I am relieved that, if nothing else, this type of national trauma has been avoided. Jan 6 2021 was really a bad memory for me.

I am concerned by the potential end of the democratic and free system of government we Americans have all taken for granted, and by the normalization of hate and intolerance that have swept the country over the last eight years. If "woke" means being understanding, non-prejudiced and tolerant of others, then how did this get to be such a bad thing? Aren't we supposed to love and care for each other as a nation?

I also feel that BOTH parties failed by not fielding acceptable or strong candidates, and even those who enthusiastically supported the winner must surely realize how divisive he has been. Neither side's choice was very good, to be honest. We needed a person to unify and heal the country with pragmatic and effective policies that would lift EVERYONE up. When you have a "lesser of two evils" then you will always end up with an evil.

Let me end by saying that yes, here in Boise the freezing nights have arrived with the coming of late October/early November. The average date of "First Hard Freeze" here is typically around the third week of October. In many areas- Chicago, Minnesota, or the upper Rocky Mountain states, it may come even earlier than this.

 

[Chernosoth]

Most of the nation is struggling with inflated basic expenses. The coping started years ago. But the political ads have ended, and now all media can go absolutely batshit with holiday ads.
