  • I have the best answer ever. FriendlyJordies ‘bruz’ saga. A corrupt politician (essentially the top person of power in 1/4th of ALL of Australia) pissed off a political comedian and the comedian locked in so fucking hard and exposed so much corruption that the politician made a special task force to spy on him and arrested his camera man illegally.

    This only caused the comedian to become even MORE determined to get revenge. He exposed so much corruption the super powerful politician ended up QUITTING HIS JOB because of ““bullying”” and his camera man walked free.

    Also, hes a comedian so the video is HILARIOUS and there’s an AMAZING punchline like 3/4ths of the way in that’s a power move so fucking massive it’s INSANE I don’t want to spoil it but HOLY SHIT it was sooo good.

    This is only like the stuff that I remember from watching it a few months ago, there’s even MORE. Dudes house got firebombed for his political advocacy.

    10/10 AMAZING video. If you get a ‘justice boner’ you better cover your belongings in fucking tarps, it’s THAT good. If you have ANY time at all it is 1,000% worth a watch.

    Actually his entire channel is worth a watch. Dude does AMAZING work and even as an American it is SO good to watch. Even his non political videos are HILARIOUS and will have you wheezing with laughter.

    I sound like a paid commenter from reddit hyping a movie or sthm but my God it’s just THAT GOOD






  • I don’t think you understand the demographics of a psych ward. When I went (technically a pediatric one) it was 50% people who self harm and got caught, 30% people who are depressed and it got too bad, 10% overdoses, and only 10% ‘crazy’ people

    a lot game from disadvantaged backgrounds and just didn’t have the best start with abusive parents and shit and take it out on themselves. They just need stability and care, care that a significant other could give.
    I guess I could be put into this category too.

    the ‘crazy’ people were chill, they just talked to themselves and saw stuff sometimes. They’re not like… mean.

    the ‘crazy’ people that you are probably thinking of aren’t the ones who go to the psych ward. They say that they’re normal and blame others for their issues. They’re the ones who don’t want to be associated with people with depression and bipolar syndrome so they don’t seek treatment for it and get WAY worse than if they went to therapy instead of drugs.

    It’s also worth noting that the ‘crazy’ people you’re thinking of aren’t past saving. They need help too. They probably started off with a bad background and weren’t taught how to take accountability and coping techniques. It’s just really, REALLY difficult to admit you need help and to go through the process of getting it.

    People do recover and should be given assistance, assistance that the American system doesn’t give.





  • sidenote driving in the interstate for the first time by myself was TERRIFYING.
    I took the same route as my first time yesterday and it was so chill in comparison to how anxious I was 😭

    gripping the wheel super tight with no music and still about to cry because I was so scared

    this time ~8 months later I was just chilling, listening to music and drinking coffee. It’s so interesting how we can get desensitized to going 75mph in a death mobile surrounded by idiots on their phones lol

    yesterday actually was an incredibly important day for me! After ~6 years of knowing I’m trans and ~5.5 years of hiding I finally got on Estrogen!! Genuinely the biggest change in my life ever and it just happened to be the day you wished me a happy day. Thank you random internet stranger 🩷
