Music and singing, nature and pets, laughing, hugs, sometimes crying if I'm able to. The main thing which makes it better is time, sometimes existing in discomfort is necessary for a while.

With friends like him, who needs enemies
Agree. Soon saying 'Luigi' in an online space with american people will cause the same reaction as saying 'tianamen square' does now in an online space with Chinese people.
Cult deprogramming
The Russian troll I used to bully here had disappeared and it looks like mods deleted all his comments. I left a 🌻 for him on my last comment to him. Felt quite poignant, I hope he hadn't fallen out of a window.
Russian trolls do take over subs, even buying them if they can't trick their way in. Its been going on for years, but they used to target the most relevant for their misinformation. They probably widened their goals to any popular subs by now.
He's not smart, he's just had a lifetime to perfect the art of dodging accountability and becoming a figure that noone expects morality from... While somehow not being barred from positions of power. The del boy of american politics.
FWIW your group seems amazing, I would definitely join if I was in your part of the world. What you said reminded me of this quote from Gandalf.
“Saruman believes it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. I found it is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love.”
Tankies all
The people have all the power, except when they disagree with their rulers... then its perfectly acceptable to kill and maim them
This is just another way for him to claim that any election which doesn't go his way is fraudulent
He started with the 'pranks' in February 2024...so they put up with that shit for over a year before doing anything!!??
Michael F. Derin said in his notice that he and Farley had been friends until Farley became chief and that from then on he began playing pranks on the officers, like setting off car alarms and putting ink on door handles.
Soon, Derin wrote, the pranks took a darker turn, like in August 2024 when he found himself being chased “around the office” by Farley.
“After cornering me in the filing area with no further room for retreat, he sticks a hypodermic needle through my jeans into the tip of my penis,” he wrote.
Derin wrote that when he protested, Farley “told me I don’t know how to take a joke.”
“From this point on, the chief creates a hostile work environment,” Derin wrote. “The chief would shave his body hair on peoples’ property, their persons, and their food. He was also fond of scraping fluids from his underwear onto people seated in the chief’s office.”
Derin’s son wrote that he witnessed Farley lace the communal coffee pot with prescription drugs and then wait for somebody to pour themselves a cup of the doctored coffee. He said he started getting his own coffee from a machine “because I did not feel it was safe to drink from the pot anymore.” He also said that he was forced to do schoolwork for Farley’s daughter, including writing a research paper on her behalf that took several days during work to complete.
Guzman wrote that Farley, “on several occasions, pulled his pants down and defecated on the floor in front of his office staff.”
“He also left feces on the bathroom floor, apparently with the intent of having someone unknowingly step on it,” Guzman wrote.
