Losing my faith

...in humanity.

We have this individual who is either completely stupid or a troll.

I have also been watching this TV show on Paramount+ called "Bar Rescue".

I swear sometimes it is only a few steps away from anarchy and being randomly cruel because you can be, and screw everyone else.

How do people live with themselves?!

I really try to avoid being upset and angry but tonight it's been really hard.

Sorry.

I read things in the Washington Post every day that bothers me, I am a single old man, an introvert with few friends, some of you (but not you, yet?) are friends of a sort... better than nothing...

Most of you are mostly kind. I appreciate that.

Have you been drinking tonight? Not trying to judge just find myself in similar ruts when I’ve thrown back a few too many 😀

I missed the original post on the thread you mention so I didn’t get to see all the best parts but you were a little more disgruntled than usual so either the original post was wild or you’re in a particular bad state tonight. For me, that usually means I’ve had a little too much scotch or a few too many beers 😗

I agree with @pdxleaf ... unplug for a while and check out the good stuff... there is lots of it. Try some excercise / read a book like Sapiens.
I stopped commuting in June. I have done some stuff with a Homeless charity / used to bump into some desperate people early mornings.
All that mostly stopped in March 20 / they were off the streets for a long time and my timings changed. Anyway very random but I was in town this week and bumped into one of them 19 months on. He was still in a poor state but remembered my name and we had a good chat - he is a clever older guy - a vagrant who reads classical history. He is still using all the real bad stuff / his legs are in shocking state - we had a brief walk (well he hobbled) together. I have had more 'real' and honest interactions with him than many 'respectable' people I know. It was too early for him to manage any real food (11am :0) ... so I spotted him some cash which I am sure may not get put to best use. He knows he is screwed up and he wants to change - but only he can do that now and sadly with his health time is running out. I guess we all make choices and also there is a hell of a lot of luck to it all (life that is). Meeting and chatting to him has always added some value to me / I am pleased to know him and glad he is still around. Whoever I am with I will still give him the time of day. I hope he makes it. He does have accomodation now.

I like the sunset/sunrise thread ...different perspectives around the world.

Let's see some sunset/sunrise pics | Page 64 | Omega Forums

I only joined this group a year ago and have only recently been active but I’ve been struck a number of times how members go out of the way for each other. Not 100% positive by the way but the vast majority have experiences have been really positive. Congrats to all - OF is a really good microcosm of humanity 😀

My subscription is online and I get a daily email of "The Post Most". So my stories are curated. At least some of them are good.


Today is a new day.

Sounds like a few of us are in the DC area, any interest in a 'redbar' type gtg? My watchmaker brought up the idea a few months ago but we haven't yet followed through.

I’m in as well
