What? How is it a property grab if no one can live there? Only the stupidest and/or richest people would buy an uninsurable home. You can't get a mortgage without insurance, because the banks want to make sure they still have an asset to repossess if you default. Even if you were that rich, why would you throw your money away on something that will almost certainly be destroyed, sooner rather than later, without a way to recoup any of the cost? If a company like Zillow comes in and snaps up all the uninsurable homes in these regions, they'll be declaring bankruptcy within 5 years.

Conventional therapy wasn't working for me either. Most of them just let you free talk, but what I really needed was information--useful information, not just a list of disorders with discombobulated symptoms. I started getting into bibliotherapy with The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk. It's a good place to start even though it's written a bit clinically. Other good ones are The Myth of Normal by Gabor Mate, and Children of Emotionally Immature Parents by Lindsay Gibson.
The books gave me things I didn't know I needed: examples of healthy and unhealthy behaviors and relationships, examples of healthy boundaries and how to make them, and types of trauma or neglect that may have happened in childhood. I also learned about the four F responses (freeze, flight, fight, and fawn) which helped me to interpret my own confusing emotions and behaviors in a new light.
It sounds like maybe the first step is to cut yourself some slack for being stuck. Most of us don't choose to go into the hole, we just find ourselves there. It's ok. With the right tools, you can get yourself out.
Find a hiking group or partner then. It's free, you'll get a little exercise, and it doesn't have to be much of a commitment.
Because it's just a link with zero context? Why should I care about these internet randos as opposed to every other internet rando looking for attention??
They are and they do, but this example is extreme. Having been on both sides of this, I'd say no one should have to live their life in fear of every little interaction. It's exhausting, and you will never succeed in getting every person to leave you alone anyway. But this doesn't have to be "the way it is." You can actually change and make your life easier. Sometimes it takes help and a long time, but I believe most people can do it if they really want to.
I guess technically Fallout 4 is a fps, but I'd be inclined to say it doesn't count. I loved that game but I would never play any of the others listed.
Lol. "Why is this mountain in China when it was never part of India?" What kind of stupid question is that?
It would make a pretty good dinosaur-themed park for kids. Put up some wire frame or animatronic sculptures, have a little train that goes around the 10 acres. Have a big dirt pit where kids can dig for bones. They would love it.
Exactly. I don't think you meant to, but you just described the majority of billionaires.
But with digital boarding passes, they can get access to your entire phone. Last time I flew, I tried scanning my digital boarding pass at TSA. The guy stops me and basically just takes my phone to do it himself. I was trying to watch what he was doing with it, but he was sitting behind a terminal. When he handed the phone back, the web browser was open, showing my phone carrier's website, instead of my boarding pass like it was when I handed it to him. There's a small chance it could have been accidental, but if not, I don't know what he was trying to access or why. Very unsettling.
I thought this headline had to be sensationalized clickbait, but this one really is as bad as it sounds. Jesus Christ.
The person you're arguing with is on the Canadian instance, so likely living in Canada, where servers are paid real wages, not $2.75 or whatever. (If the real wages still aren't enough to live on, then Canada should probably be raising the minimum wage, rather than tipping a small percentage of their minimum wage workers.)
