This won’t help your mom, she won’t change her mind and will try to drag the argument or will just attack until everything is destroyed. But here’s a clear rebuttal of the idea.

The failure of demanding everyone showing worth is determining what is worth and who gets to define and assign it. Every petty warlord believes they are the one to decide… and oh gee, amazing how they have the most worth.

If you tell your mom you will only accept her argument if she accepts you have more worth than her - and demonstrates it to you every day - it will probably make her go no contact until she needs you again for emotional affirmation.

Depression is real, I don’t have it but it’s real and I have friends that deal with it as part of their lives. It sounds like getting out of your mom’s sewer might help, but you might need medication as well.

Our Onion is the OC for all my satirical news articles. Little things like that are the seeds of a community.

I’ve started making claim email chains with the state ombudsman cc’d in the first email. Saves so much time.

That’s correct. Everyone here making six figures will have some form of asset they could cash in if the chips came down. I sometimes feel underwater, but if I made painful cuts, I could survive. Real Americans are living day to day knowing if things get bad, they might have to sell more blood.

Every drop of water makes the river, don’t forget you’re a part of the world, and you’re important, even if it doesn’t always feel that way.

This is a charged issue, people aren’t downvoting you so much as expressing anger at what’s happening. Good use of nottheonion.

When I click on your name, I see you are here to argue.

Fucking our sharks, you mean.

Mostly I try to make people laugh, but more of an awkward laugh.

“Stupid Piece of Shit” is great for asking people if this is how they think. Some people don’t know they have depression from critical thinking.

I saw a guy living in a Maxwell Tent under a bridge. Makes you think.

I’ve always had a theory that in the lower classes, tattoos also served as a form of displayed wealth. As in, “I can spend $750 to decorate my arm,” which can be a lot of money in some circles.

It’s really time for the UN to move to Europe or China, a new venue will take time to build, and a longer transition will be better.

Imagine building it in the Hague.

Actually this is all a dream and we are getting more and more terrified you’ll wake up. Why did you give me a family I care about and the ability to fear us all disappearing in a blink as you wake? Why would you do this to me?

Wait, there will be rounds in a fight to the death? Does this imply the use of some cleric or shaman?

Can the lion start in the plane?

With the world tipping into a world war, I welcome our Charlie Kirk brigades to train now and to be ready to ship out when things start up.
