Thanks for the welcome!

I get that. I occillate pretty wildly between anxious I’m ballsing up and head-pounding rage at my own ineptitude whenever I DIY solo. Thankfully, I have a mega-competent spouse.

We’re actually playing Abiotic Factor; hadn’t heard of it before my friend recommended it and now it’s started a ritual of once a week gaming sesh and chatting about life. It’s basically free therapy.

Your “pointing out” is pretty confrontational.

I think we probably aren’t going to have much of a fun discussion here so I’m going to do us both a favour and wish you a good night, friend.

I mean, I don’t necessarily disagree with your points.

But why aren’t we allowed to be upset about people trying to do bad things to my country that might affect me? Because I was born in a country that does bad things?

I don’t begrudge the people of China, Russia or the US for their governments actions.

Pretty damn good, actually.

Making some progress on DIY (of which I am terrible). Made a habit of getting up early to do some project work (building 3D models - of which I am terrible). Keeping in touch with buds through PC gaming (of which I am terrible)

Just generally enjoying all those things I’m bad at. Can’t imagine how buzzed I’ll be if I get any good at them.

Are you saying because our ancestors did something bad that we can’t be scared of that bad thing happening to us?
