Old School RuneScape

It helped me through some rough times in my life. Probably not the healthiest coping mechanism but better than other roads I've seen people go down. I don't play anymore, as much as I like the game it's such a ridiculous time sink.

I love existential comics, their Mad Marx strip is one of favs. The PokeRevolution strips are great too

It's very funny to me that the Israeli guy in my class has no concept of personal space and will gladly take up a whole bench waiting for class while other people stand around him

Really only those who would be drafted should have a say in whether there's a draft or not. Old fucks who will never see a battlefield should not be able to force others to die for them

A lot of those isolated mountain communities serve railways, at least they do in Canada. Jasper has a busy railyard and there's main line that goes right by Banff. Same with a bunch in BCs interior.

That's true in theory, but it doesn't account for the fact that most people don't want to die and will hold their breath to try to live a little longer.

Funnily enough america and Nazi Germany encountered similar situations where they figure out people have a hard time shooting other people and switch to "cleaner" methods of murder. Nazi Germany was on a larger scale, but the same logic had the Holocaust evolve from machine gunning people to the gas chambers. Now america has their own gas chambers.

I dunno if I have anything helpful to say but I have lived through similar circumstances (both loss of people close to me and trying to be there for someone on their death bed). It's one of the worst feelings in the world to sit beside someone in pain and not be able to help them or take a piece of their burden. I was lucky enough to be able to visit them almost every day, and I think just being there as a friend is the best you can do sometimes. Even just sitting there watching Netflix together, picking them up a favorite snack on the way, and just being there to chat, listen to them complain, or whatever other kind of support they need.

I don't know the specifics of your friends ailment, but just reaching out and being there for them is the best you can do sometimes. I guess the same applies to how to support grieving friends, even if they don't want to talk about the loss itself just being there for them can be very helpful. I really appreciated my friends who just reached out to me regularly, even when I was shit at replying and isolating myself

Anyway, hopefully I said something kind of helpful somewhere in there. I hope you and your friend are doing better soon meow-hug
