I am at my wit's end about what I could conceivably do to help out with all the trouble that some Bay12ers are dealing with lately. I'm praying to whatever benevolent being that may or may not exist in this world to help them because I can't. I'm not even religious.

[Sinlessmoon]

Wow, Imperial guard your dad sounds like a right asshole. I hope you call the police, I'm sure they would help. I hear they take child abuse cases very seriously in the states.

Anyway, I hope you get help and get out of that hellhole of a house.

[Arx]

Yeah. Good luck, everyone.

Tiruin, you rock.

[hops]

I don't feel like Imperial Guardsman is willing to call the police, but yeah, I'm supporting that suggestion as well.

[Tack]

If he's actually black, he could just live in a hate state.
In which case, you have my sympathy.

[Pnx]

First of all: All those methods do not help you at all in regard to your frustration. If you wish to give pain onto others because you yourself were hurt...then I do daresay now, that will not lead to anything good for you. Venting in that manner is...destructive and malevolent, and mayhap, not lead to any sort of good development or growth from it.

You should realize, that hurting others because you were hurt or causing such grief to them will not aid you despite its notion of macabre...fun.

Just like to add that there's quite a large body of scientific evidence that says that venting anger generally makes the problem worse. The feelings of relief you get from expressing your anger are very short lived, and you often wind up chasing greater and greater expressions of anger to try to get it.
Dealing with anger through acts of destruction, anger, and abuse is just not healthy.

On the other side of the coin, it's worth saying that not expressing your emotions can also be unhealthy, so a good middle ground is probably learning to express yourself as angry, and then dealing with it in a constructive way.

[Tiruin]

Err, yeah. Forgot to add in the postiive alternative :x
Bottling up your emotions aren't good either...

[LordSlowpoke]

wow

an hour ago or so i were happy and enjoying life and then i went outside

i still manage to get surprised at how good this place is at draining all positive emotion

fuck why can't i live in a state in which a hikki can survive in i would go outside never

Take a vacation to.. somewhere else?
That could help.

I can't even make a turn in a fucking succession game without giving up because what I feel like doing is so goddamn wishy-washy.

[Trapezohedron]

The moment I finish downloading all of Phantasy Star Online 2 JP, their servers suddenly go region lock, forcing me to use a VPN if I wanted to play, pretty much like the hassle of playing Kantai Collection outside Japan. Sega knows how to kill moods, yeah.

Hell, I've never been lucky with the PSO series.

In PSO1 for the Dreamcast, the console suddenly dies at De Rol Le.
In a shady copy of PSO1 with Episodes 1 and 2 for the Xbox Original, I can't access the fifth world in the original game and can't access the last area in Episode 2.
Episode 1 fails to work outright.
And now... this.

[TD1]

That's the entirely wrong attitude, BFEL! Come now, for Necrothreat III you're pretty much required to take a turn, and it shall be your all-necroing hand that will start it.

The more I read internet arguments, even on this forum, the more I feel that it is impossible to have a debate on the internet. No-one can ever just back down from something. It's like the Cold War except it's about women's rights or your favorite pokemon.

Good thing its just a feel and not something you begin to treat as fact--it is very possible to have a debate on the internet, but I'll argue that negativity hits the news and brings many eyes to its focus, enlarging how...prevalent it is.

Problem being, that kind of debate (ideas about the rights of people and their context) is a common problem right now (less so about favorite pokemon. Nobody is starting a war because of Pikachu.). Usually, when one side does not cede or give way in an argument, its either that they believe their stance is resolute--whether or not there is directly contradicting evidence--or that the basis of the debate, or to put it more harshly, an argument, is too general to reach a standpoint. [Meaning: Lacking of specifics, like people relying too much on statistics--given that statistics is empirical data translated to numbers. Most of the times, these lack context on the whys and hows the event occurs but rather only gives a superficial or basic idea on the case.]

Though it is very muchly possible to have a clean and clear, pleasant debate on the internet. Don't let bad events muddle your viewpoint on this.
