It has become too much for me. I'm starting to crack. Most of what I read is more and more bad news. The articles posted here are always seeming to be inflammatory, and negative in nature. I'm well beyond hesitant to look at this board. Most of you know where these articles come from. They all seem to drive a negative impulse into us.

I love this place, and all of you tirelessly working your asses off. We need to take a serious look at what is being pushed into our minds.

I wake up in the morning, dreading the workday, and it starts off with checking this board. Fuck, more bad news. More bad news from the same sources. I try so hard to find a glimmer of light in a post to sticky, but it's almost gone.

I'm seriously debating walking away from this place. There is little light here, just more storm clouds. The worst thing is, it's not even close to how bad it is gonna get. The storm clouds will get darker, and I just want to take my hands off the fucking wheel at this point and just say fuck it.

I had big hopes for Truth Social, but it seems it's just a bunch of follower hungry fags looking for recognition. Jesus Christ, "re-truth this if you agree!" Fucking stupid. Sorry if I'm lame and don't understand the workings of twitter, I never fucked with it.

I just see a platform pre-infected with cancer. Cliques of "Q-Influencers" posting shit a few days later after it is posted here and claiming it is "breaking news". I get why truth social is needed for people who can't handle a place like poal, but for now it's a lame circle-jerk for the ever growing conglomerate of "WeTheMedia". It sucks seeing the same fucking story posted by 10 different people because they are obligated to do so it seems.

A lot of us ended up here because of the corrupt social-media complex forced us out numerous times from many platforms. I've learned once we are at this point, there is no going back to the tired old model. We are forever at the outpost, we've seen too much, and cloning the bad in hopes it does good is stupid.

I've realized that we are the news, we fight in the trenches, and they are the re-tweet craving faggots only in it for self gratification.

Sorry, I'm rambling, and beyond exhausted. Just needed to vent, and you fine people have always listened. I hope I wake up tomorrow feeling different, and I may. I just think I need a break. If you see no stickies, it's not because your post isn't worthy, or I've given up, it's just because I know you all will continue to work regardless. That is the beauty of this place, the poal train has no fucking brakes.

Thank you again my friends, I love all of you. I truly believe one day the sun will shine on our faces, and we will be able to take a deep breath, and actually relax.

Focus on your family and everything else is trivia.

That's what I've always done, but taking care of my family is becoming everything, being there for my family is rapidly waning due to the stress.

Just walk away. Take a break, and don't take things so seriously. Let some garbage slide.

Focus on what is really important in your life.

Sorry, but that's kinda funny...kek As I recall seeing similar posts from a couple years ago on Voat. " I'm Done", I'm finished", "I can't take it anymore and you probably won't hear from me again"!!

Then one of us jackwads says "See ya tomorrow!" Kek

We all laugh..AND We See ya tomorrow!

Seriously though, you're a very valuable asset here, Justin...and we appreciate what you do and the amount of time and effort you put into it! I was driving yesterday, flipping through talk radio channel's...all of them..same depressing bullshit. So I turned on some good music, went to a golf course that has a bar and grill with an outside patio, grabbed a drink and relaxed outside..it was very peaceful.

Tonite we're going to watch a friend's band play...and tune out the negative and focus on the positive. I'm going to use your post as a reminder to find positive uplifting things to post. Cheers buddy, God is Good. 😊

Before delving into the depths of all this crap. Put on the Armor of GOD. You do that by reading his Word.

You definitely need His protection.

Do it for yourself. You matter.

Godspeed

Thanks friend. I've never been a religious man. I've never read the bible, or been baptized for that matter. I just want to wake up in the morning not in a panic.

[–] • 3 pts

I am so far from religion.

It really isn't a religion (a man made tradition, yeah, pass).

It really is spiritual.

Don't close your heart like the devil wants you to.

And btw, baptism doesn't happen by the way we've been taught. It's done by the Holy Spirit. Read and receive. You will, if God wants you to.

We are chosen. Not the other way around. Now that's something to research ;)

He’s right. In fact, we’d all be better off praying for God’s provision and intervention than simply filling our minds with stuff that just upsets us.

Not saying to be ignorant. But being too informed and too concerned with all of this information is just as dangerous and being completely ignorant.

I’ve been thinking about it more and more lately.

The thing about the Bible is it predicted all of this, and it tells us how it ends. The exact things happening now are God's sign that we are almost at the very end. The bad news is it gets way worse before it gets better. The good news is that when the day comes that God cleans this place up, it will be so unimaginably good that we will no longer even think about the hardship we went through.

[–] • 3 pts

I see it the same way;)

Amazing how many "DELTA'S" we can find when we read the bible.

Thousands of years worth ;)

Proof.

I believe you are correct. No one wants to live through such troublesome times, but we must seize the opportunity to do most good.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts justin_tolerable. Just my two cents here, it appears that you may be headed towards a serious depression if you don't take a break from this soon. With all the negative information out there and the appearance that there is no hope, bear in mind that none of us can see the whole picture because so much infomation is being kept from us and its a real struggle to connect the dots. When it gets to that point, I turn off the PC, and other gadgets for a whole week, I don't worry about e-mails or messages from anyone, just focus on the family and on things we can do together. Just shut it all OFF for awhile, you will be amazed at the results.

Your family is more important at the moment, you have to focus your energies there first. Thanks for all you do and God bless.

Thank you for the wise advice, I took it seriously. It did wonders for me just shutting it down for two days. Spent time with the family and decompressed. It was seriously needed. Thanks again friend.

[–] • 1 pt

Am really happy to hear that it was helpful to shut everything down for a couple of days. When you refocus on what really matters in life it brings order to your mind. With all the haphazard distractions going on, along with useless information, the brain will continue analyzing things that you encountered earlier in the day nonstop, attempting to organize and categorize order to chaos, at times it becomes overwhelming and you really don't notice that its happening. Suddenly you feel a sense of disappointment, even lingering sadness not fully understanding why. Now imagine if you tried it for a week the next time. Best wishes and God bless.

Being a mod on this board makes it very difficult to take a substantial break. I have to keep an eye on things here to make sure that the ToS isn't being broken and putting the site in jeopardy. Couple days was awesome though.

If its any consolation, Russia will finish taking over Ukraine in about a month or two.

The world will be a better place with a commodity backed ruble to trade in. The East is rejecting globohomo and liberalism. They are forming institutions to get out from under the Satanists pedophile system. Kazakhstan, Belarus, Russia, Ukraine plus China, India, Indonesia, and Middle East will be leading the way. Maybe eastern Europe follows. Maybe not. But the tide has started to turn and this process will only accelerate. Globohomo dies in Ukraine, which will be split apart to prevent it ever again being used as the soft underbelly to genocide the Russians.

There will be no war with Russia. NATO can't fight against a country with a real military.

This was eye opening to me. You're right. Anything positive is completely shit on instantly.

Looks like a tactic for dealing with a free speech board.

Honestly, the most positive thing we can do, and by "we" I mean the group of us that recognizes the problems and want to work within the law to improve our situation... is organize, in real life. Support each other. Be a network of resources for each other.

It seems like every established organization has been taken over by people that don't think like me. I just want to be around people that do, to get some sanity back.

Sometimes you just need a break and to step away. Focus on yourself and your family and take a break from the news. The news is depressing and especially right now.
Do little things that make you happy and your family always comes first and we must project positiveness to our children so they can cope. All the best!

[–] • 0 pt

I echo this completely. Stay positive in spirit and thought. Take a break if that is what you need.

Thank you. I cut myself off from the internet all weekend, hung out with the family and played some offline story mode playstation games. Feel a million times better. Thank you for the advice.

Dude, lay off of it. I got a divorce last year..I will not take full responsibility for it, she had her own issues and negative contributions, too.

But I will say that constantly bombarding myself with all this shit and taking the cares of the world on my shoulders did not help my relationship. It made me always angry. Even if I wasn’t angry at her, it would still get aimed at her sometimes.

I’m not glad to be a divorced person, but I am glad not to be married to that person anymore.

It took that hell for me to realize some things about myself…one of them being, I was waaaay too involved in all of this shit.

It isn’t worth it, man.

Don’t let it go to the point that something bad has to happen for you to wake up and be forced to take a step back.

Do it of your own volition. I took a YEAR off of all this shit. I’m glad I did. Even now, I’m reluctant to pay too much attention because I do not want to go back to where I was.

The fact is, you already know enough to know what’s going on in the world. Every piece of data you can gather isn’t going to help you at this point..in fact seems to be destructive. Walk away for a while, if not forever.

Lots of wise advice here. I'm sorry about your divorce, but it looks like all you've gone through has had a positive effect.

bro, we are here for ya! it'll take a bit for the Truth app to stabilize, does seem from you discription a bit over the top tho. I felt the same way and did some gardening with my shirt off out in the sunlight all week. it leveled me out

[–] • 1 pt

I don't give a shit about the app, or really anyone on it. I want this shit to end. I want justice. I want know my family is secure. Everyday seems worse than the last. All we get is fucking Devin Nunes posting goats and beers. Fuck off with these stupid cryptic posts while they put out the dumpster fires of bugs and issues with their app. I'm over it.

I'm in the same boat though..and I do appreciate your posts.
