I cannot imagine they want to discuss this with someone from work of all places… be open and kind is already good

Sounds like you should either actually read your own bible (job) or chill out a lot.

Are you quoting the life of Brian?

What

Attacking me just like in OP’s post? Easy block. Others agreed with me, no reason to be a jerk. No one else was.

I still think you should go. And also I can’t judge if you are political online only or not but if you truly spend a lot of your time working based on your values and they belittle you, you do need to draw a line.

Them attacking you, if true, is different from you picking a fight with your brother over a minor issue.

I agree with the other commenter that you go to the wedding then make your decision. Them liking musk and you not going to their once in a life time event is a nuclear escalation.

Personally I think you’re pushing one hot button waiting for it to blow. I’m sure my father voted for trump. Should I not see him because of it? Or half of America? Wanting your brother to agree with you by punishing him just makes you look childish.

That said, I don’t know the rest of the dynamic. Others might say it’s worth it but honestly you all are just fighting over minor values. Do you expect all family to have exactly your values? Are you a liberal? Because this honestly seems like a lib more than a leftist move. Playing intellectually superior while trying to emotionally hurting the other.

I would recommend you use an RSS reader and only curate exactly what you want. Can include news, YouTube, even lemmy.

Just you. It’s easy to feel this way with depression honestly. I think it’s also what media you’re consuming.

In high school I dressed as the Pi fairy and memorized 200 digits of Pi lol

It would be a much better would if the American crazy mostly white boys chose targets that actually helped the common people rather than random children. They want to become famous? Be a crazy person but do something no one else would for good.

Yeah it’s way healthier. You can turn it off in your settings too

If I had one year left without slowly feeling worse because of some sickness I think I would just continue what I’m doing already but with an extreme deadline.

• make sure I make the best with my family
• finish my dissertation, a year is doable
• organize my archival/datahoarding material to be accessible to family and backed up
• make my will very clear
• maybe the biggest change I would make would be to divorce my partner so I can max out my credit cards traveling with them to see family and friends in three countries.
• maybe try to take more seriously meditation, an hour a day
• I’m not sure I would want to do anything that could hurt my family, their opinion of me, or separate me from them during that year.

Five years is such a significant amount of time I really don’t know if that could change anything. The deadlines would feel so far away.

A month would feel crazy fast. This might cause me to make more radical changes.

What you did either way wouldn’t matter to you but it would affect others in the prior. But would you care?

Over just for me or everyone?

How insanely American to think America being criticized a lot must mean propaganda.

Lemmy.world may have the least of this since they neolib gobblers
