Is Surah Kahf this entire thing?

https://quran.com/al-kahf

If you’re giving up and have nothing left to lose, then why not just take the rest of your day and have a cry and a nap? You’re emotionally exhausted, not defeated.

Gotcha. Well you have no active will right now. There sheer act of self preservation and of acknowledging it is in itself at least a passive will to go forward. So you have will and have no will.

I think both are true. Something in your mind is dragging you forward while the rest of you collapses. I think that’s okay and part of the process.

Well I suppose the thing to do would be to post on Reddit about it. Just to get other peoples perspective, remind yourself that you’re not alone, give goals a distraction. At least that’s what I’d be doing and what it seems like you’re doing now. It’s the healthy natural thing to do.

I’m feeling for you friend. This won’t do you in.

I hear ya bud. Try to remember that you haven’t lost; you’re still here and chances are no matter how fucked things seem now, 99 times out of 100 they’re unfuck-able.

Also you won’t go bankrupt if you give yourself an hour to cry this evening. It might even help clear your mind so you can focus on the things you’re dealing with. I wish you the best of luck!

Is there something more important that you need to be doing? It’s very important that you take time to care for yourself.

Grab some tissue or a nice soft cloth and go for it man. Crying is part of the process.

What would happen if you broke down?

That might be the best thing for you for a bit, and then maybe some day it’ll be time to move forward into something else. Just please really do try to be kind to yourself.

I’m sorry bud, this is really really terrible to go through. I hope you can find some peace.

Congratulations on getting hitched! Sorry I can’t help with the DMV.

There’s something called the 50/500 rule you should look into.

With the paprika.

I don’t get it.

What inspired you to do an AMA?

This isn't even a conversation. You take the car.

Your buddies are going to have a couch for you to crash on. For you to be able to get a car after getting an education is going to set you up in a huge way.

You know what you need to do. The beauty of being in college is that you get to finally enjoy spending most of your nights at a place where you might not receive your mail.

This is an easy choice in my book.

Hope you’re feeling better these days!

These are fabulous!!

Yeah okay I see. That’s the account I’m familiar with. It admits a stretch on the comparison between what happened on January 6th 2021 and November 19th 2000. Look I’m not saying that the Brooks Brothers Riot wasn’t interference, im just saying (like Business Insider) that its effect wasn’t impactful. That’s all.

What did that disruption look like?

When we disagree on facts I don’t think there’s productive conversation to be had. My personal recollection of the Brooks Brothers Riot and that of every account of it I’ve found in the past couple minutes searching to refresh my memory indicates the only impact was that a few bureaucrats and the media was kept out of where the ballot counters were working. Unless you distrust what the ballot counters were doing, the election remained intact.

Instead of attacking individuals, maybe it’d be more productive to argue for the dismantling of the electoral college.

And she’s voted with Biden 73% of the time. She was one of only two Republican senators who voted with Obama more than 70% of the time across his presidency.

She’s grown increasingly moderate over the past ten years and consensus building is absolutely what we need in this country right now. She, along with Congresswoman Cheney stood up against the party line for the insurrection on Jan 6 (the events of which were a far cry from those of the Brooks Brothers Riot which you compared them to in another comment). That in itself may be a terminal decision for their political careers. It’s integrity.

You don’t have to like her politics or her voting record. But as far as the GOP goes she’s one of the last ones sticking to her guns.

And she’s voted more with Biden during his presidency and Obama during his presidency than she voted with Trump. And she’s known as one the of the most moderate Senators currently in office, which we desperately need right now.

Even though that would be a meaningfully important distinction in today’s GOP, I don’t think I agree.

Why do you think she’s the same as Trump, just polite?
