I guess I'll add my own little tidbit.

I've long dealt with depression. But recently after trying a new approach I've finally found something that works. And holy hell has it been a boon in my life.

I finally feel like I have the tools to really start to fix shit in my life. I'm actually excited to get out and be productive. I'm not ruminating. I'm living very in the moment.

This is the best I have felt in a very very long time. and I'm excited to see what comes next.

Very minor, but there's a surprisingly decent thread on MensLib going on now.

It addresses a central issue with "woke" culture which is the resulting self-flagellation and self-demonization of sexuality (and it also goes to show how many guys who are on that sub have this problem...) Most of the responses are also decent and understanding of the fact that every kind of this interaction is going to involve some degree of risk and potential discomfort (I remember previous threads on MensLib where this kind of thing was sorta touched upon and there were a few people pulling out the usual discussion killers: "why are you even whining about getting dates when women are being harrassed on the street daily" (insert overused Margaret Atwood quote), although maybe coached in a more passive-aggressive language.)

Well, currently in Australia the male sex is getting some good press because some guys prevented a lunatic with a knife from killing some more people. Not much, but somethin'.
