I’m drunk, British, but I think it’s a shame we can’t rely on America (USA) anymore

I’m a 35 year old guy, and from my experience America has always been a contentious topic. They had the best TV shows, the best games, the best everything when I was growing up in the 90s. Sure… my parents thought they were obnoxious and loud, but those were fairly small complaints.
I don’t think that’s the case anymore and I’m just sharing my perspective even though I’m far from sober and know this is contentious
<<< and this is where you’ll have to excuse me because I was 12… and maybe if I was 35 things would have seemed as bleak as they are right now >>>
Then things went bad in the 2000s, you went to war and we followed you. This was not the most popular thing to happen, triggering huge protests in the UK. However I think generally people understood why it happened and why the American people were so angry. Even though a lot of people didn’t agree with it, a lot of them “understood”
So time goes by and these “wars” continue but after the initial years it doesn’t really impact Europe, we pull out and the US stay there…
People within America seemed to be pretty happy though… your freedoms were expanding, you could love who you want to love, smoke what you want to smoke… worry le

I See God the Same Way I See Superheroes. As a Source of Hope, Not Proof.

I’m a young male and to me personally, God is like a superhero. I like Spider-Man, and I like God too. Both inspire me, give me hope, and help me get through tough moments. That doesn’t mean I believe they’re literally real.
When a Spider-Man movie comes out, I go watch it because I connect with the character and what he represents. In the same way, when there’s a God-related day, I visit spiritual places because I like the atmosphere, the meaning, and the sense of peace it gives me.
For me, it’s not about blind belief or denying logic. It’s about stories, symbols, and ideas that make life feel a little lighter and more hopeful. Just because something inspires you doesn’t mean you have to treat it as unquestionable truth sometimes it’s enough that it helps you live better.

My biggest motivators for losing weight is envy

I used to be bestfriends with this one girl in early highschool. We were super close and we were both slightly chubby. A few years later she slowly drifted away from me and our friendship ended. I'm not sure what she did, maybe a combination of working out and starving herself, but when she shed the excess fat... damn. The hip to waist ratio went crazy. She had like the ideal body that I wanted. I'm unfortunately build like a rectangle. Anyways I did gain 80 pounds since then. Currently in my early 20s and 200 pounds. Trying to lose the weight but man it can be hard. Sometimes I look her up on social media just to motivate myself.
