  • I don’t know what to say, really, because there’s little information about your life in your post. Maybe that’s a part of the issue of being lonely. I went 20 years like that, 21 maybe but I remember that exact feeling. Don’t know if you are physically isolated, but I was socially isolated, absolutely. Small city and a weirdo, so I left to a big city and found myself still alone. I know 10 more years like that would have been rough.

    Online people is still real people and you can get to know them. I could connect my heart with someone online, we met, and it was the beginning of a change inside of me. It wasn’t a success story, I hurt her feelings, because of the same frustration of not being able to be physically there. In the end, she changed everything forever, more time would pass to get to something “more real” that wouldn’t feel like before, like grasping for air. Allow yourself all human interactions, a kind smile, a kind look has never hurt anybody.











  • How about loosing 27 million people 80 years ago fighting the Nazis? If that didn’t happen we could be counting the offspring of another 10-15 million Russians. Then the famine, loosing their country, and building a new state. The 1990s, early 2000s must have been the complete opposite in Russia than in the USA. Also, in the 1980s the USSR was already collapsing.


  • I don’t think they don’t understand state sovereignty, as this is common in a lot of countries. What must baffle everyone is the sanctity of the free enterprise surpassing that of the child birth, i.e. the way the state bends to the capital. To put it in other words, states could get a Trump-like government that could take everything away in less than a month just because they think they know better.

    You don’t leave this kind of policy to the states to maneuver against their citizens. California will be progressive in that sense, but what may we find in states like Mississippi, Georgia or Florida? Why there’s not a national policy that guarantees a month of paid leave no matter where you live in the USA and then maybe some more?
