Sometimes I wonder if I will ever be able to watch this video with the sound on and *NOT* get all choked up about it. Do you think that will ever happen?

I finally gave in and watched the Pluribus pilot. I was extremely skeptical, because the pilot episodes of “Lost” or “Breaking Bad” or “Mr. Robot” were instant classics.
“Pluribus” is too. Watch it.

It takes some chutzpah to make television like this. Better Call Saul star Rhea Seehorn is the only US citizen immune from an alien virus that makes everyone in the world supremely happy – and it’s a bleak, blackly comic watch

This is the reaction you see from your fans: they are weeping, overwhelmed. As are you.
Wow. Turn it up.

You are not a pessimist or "downer" for struggling w/ hope. Of course trauma survivors struggle w/ hope. We're suspicious of it. We know it can make us vulnerable. We know it can be used against us.
But hope, properly understood & leveraged, can also be a powerful recovery tool.

Me: Prior to V.90 there were two incompatible standards for 56K modems. USRobotics pushed their own “X2”, while Lucent and Rockwell pushed the confusingly named “KFlex”

Hey, so as a veteran and incident responder I need to warn you to pay attention to something in America.
The human brain is resilient. While you're watching kids get dragged away from the parents and people being beaten in the streets, you're accumulating trauma but also being desensitized.

Nobody reading this is pissed because we didn't have a "perfect" childhood or an "easy" life.
Trauma survivors working our recovery are righteously angry we had to learn for ourselves how to focus & regulate in a world that actively takes advantage of our struggles w/ both.
