      I fell for an internet scam today. I swear I used to be smart. Locked cards changed passwords. Probably won’t get my steam back though.

        That's a nightmare. So many accounts are connected nowadays that losing one means you have to go through everything to make sure you haven't forgotten some way for scammers to buy something with your cards.

        In my experience, Steam support is really fast and really reliable. So unless your email was hacked as well, there's still hope.

        In all honesty? OCs and Waifus. It has a setting where you can just say "this power exists because Quirk" (similar to how you had a lot of X-Men OCs in the 90s because "this power exists because Mutant") and... well... lotta people like the frog.

        I am still on the stage of reading fanfiction based on Grimdark web serries 'Worm' - about how realistic heroes would look like... it's kinda depressing reading fan fiction of it... and I am yet to get to the main story.

        Understandably we are our own worst critics. But trying to jump into old projects can be off putting...

        I'd say that it's best to throw caution into the wind and just wing it. Ignore anything your brain says, and just keep on writing.

      When I type something and realize I got one word or mistake wrong, instead of editing the part, I erase the whole sentence and rewrite it.

        That is really slowing the work. I have a similar problem. Have you tried to just write everything you had to write, without re-reading it. Only after finished writing, recheck for mistakes.

        There’s a strong possibility that we won’t even need to worry about Russia. At the rate the world is going, everyone might just nuke themselves out of sheer stupidity and the people continually enabling it.

      I feel so isolated from people lately. But also that if I try talking to anyone, I'd just be bothering them with my problems. It's tough.

        I don't really know where that stems from, but if I have to guess, it's a poor case of self-esteem. Seeing that you're not as worthy as everyone else and that talking about yourself, is not only boring, but a waste of time...

        Perhaps it's a good idea to take a look at the mirror, see how you've treated yourself lately, and perhaps, examine your relationship with yourself... or go through my path in life and pretend everything is ok while crying for help every now and then. I don't recommend such a path.

        I'd say it's worth giving those people (whomever you're talking about) a chance to hear you out, even if they do seem stressed. Sometimes being able to listen and help with someone else gives one a chance to set aside their own worries for a time. They may even find it helpful to approach new problems or the same from a different angle.

      Ironically, Russia keeps claiming the Ukraine is part of Russia, so historically, they should've known, invading it was never going to work.

        Probably because people are fetishizing the stereotype of black men rather than the actual amount of melanin in their skin.

        I didn't care for Rowling well before the actual controversy came out. Much of her writing seems more vindictive and petty to try and win any argument she was ever had, didn't endear me to her well before that point.
