One day, the time will come to “Bomb America.”
It’s a simple rule, really. Whatever we do is fine and moral, whatever they do is bad and reprehensible. Pretty much what all of American politics is built on.
What kind of loser actually listens to someone telling them that though. Yeah, the boss is a jackass, but he doesn’t have the power to send him to Ukraine. He should have been the one to tell his boss to fuck off. Now he can’t cause he’s dead.
I struggle with the same thing, I play online card games and it’s very easy to get super tilted since it’s heavily luck-based by nature. I don’t like feeling like I’ve wasted my time when I lose, I don’t like feeling like a failure when I lose because I consider myself a good player.
I often wonder why it winds me up so much. It might be that I put too much value into my performance, or it might be because there aren’t a huge amount of things in my life that feel like they’re in my control - and when I lose in a game, it’s like “fuck, I can’t even do this” and I lash out.
Point is, you’re not alone comrade. I’ve considered giving up these games altogether because they feel like poison for my mental health, but I believe that the anger is almost certainly coming from somewhere else. It’s not the games.
