CMV: The additional footage of the Minneapolis shooting will not change anyone’s mind.

The incentive to pick a side in this modern day idiocracy is too strong. You must use the limited information and exploit it to grandstand or justify your moral superiority and outrage. That goes for bad actors on the right and the left.
Honestly, if we cannot even come to terms that a situation can have shades of grey and seriously complexity and multiple mistakes by all involved, how can we have a discussion? I expect many of the replies here essentially grandstanding or posturing calling for the heads of ICE or the anointing of the late Ms. Good, who likely did not want to be martyred for any movement.

Every day in 2026, I aim to do something future me will thank me for. What should I do?

My goal for 2026 is to do something daily to set myself up better for me future. Paying my bills doesn't count - I already do that - and I don't really want to count things like going for a walk - I do that, too.
Here are some examples of what I've done:
**Friday (today):** I saw a nutritionist for the first time!
**Thursday:** Applied for LinkedIn Premium through my job
**Wednesday:** Switched car insurances to save $36/m
**Tuesday:** Apply for a guiding job (a dream)
**Monday:** Funded an ad for my business
What ideas do you have? Could be financial, physical, career related, upskilling, education...anything. But if it's my goal for 2026, I have to have some things in the hopper.
Thanks in advance!

Terrified of following my passion.

Title says it all.
I hate my current job. It pays well and there’s career growth that is attractive but I hate it. I’m stuck in an office 24/7.
My previous career, I was working on live entertainment productions. It was hard work, but the rush was amazing. Being behind the scenes and having the crowd cheer at the end of the night, I felt so fulfilled.
I ended up switching due to finances and politics.
I’m considering switching back but I’m terrified.
I’m terrified that it’ll be a mistake.
For context, I’m alone, single, no family. I have no property, and basically live out of a suitcase due to the current potion. (Previous position was basically the same) I’m also 33.
For context, the previous position does not really have any financial growth, but the current one can grow +$3000.
My worry is that in the long run, I will not be able to support myself if I move back to following my passion. Especially if I eventually retire. But at the same time, I don’t feel fulfilled where I am currently.
I’m not lucky enough to have family to fall back to if my plan fails.
It’s terrifying. I’m terrified and not sure what to do. It’s giving me stress and anxiety. (On the upside, that’s forced me i

I miss feeling genuinely excited about something

I’ve been thinking about how rare that “can’t wait for tomorrow” feeling is now. Like when you were a kid and you’d be excited over the smallest things
These days things are… okay, but the excitement is muted. I’m not depressed, just kind of numb to the usual stuff.
Do you ever get that feeling? What’s something that still makes you genuinely excited?

What are you grateful for ?

Hey everyone! 19 (F), and I’ve been thinking a lot about gratitude lately.
For me, I’m most grateful for the people who’ve stuck by me while I’m figuring life out, family who checks in, friends who let me be messy and unsure, and even strangers who show random kindness when I least expect it.
I’m also grateful for small things I used to overlook: quiet mornings, good music in my headphones, late-night talks, and the fact that I still have so much time to grow and mess up and learn.
Life feels overwhelming sometimes, but pausing to think about what I’m grateful for really helps ground me.
What about you, what are you most grateful for right now?
