... the sensibility involved in that "more sensible" is so far in the negatives it would be experiencing integer wraparound were it evaluated in an old computer system. Guess this is a brand of insanity that probably shouldn't be engaged with, so... yeah.

Stealth exercise program. Alternately, lobbying from whoever handles lower back pain (due to overstuffed backpacks) in your local health system.

That, and presumably because Iraq's closer to the present. Closet to the current memory and all that.

... let's also not do the suffering olympics thing, either. Please?

... was that ya meant to be yeah or you? I'm guessing the former, but it's probably better to get confirmation before someone misunderstands. 'Cause, uh. Irritated as folks bringing it back up after so long can make me, the latter would be going a bit too far.

Fourteen years and people still are hung up on this and keep bringing it up. Please, people who are still grieving and having flashbacks: Seek professional help. It's been over a decade. The mourning period is long over, and continuing to dwell on the events of the past, long after we've inflicted massively disproportionate retribution, is doing nothing but hurting everyone involved and then some.

The only way to thank the memory of those who suffered in the attacks and the atrocities that came after is to get your life back on track, start living well, and let the past be the past. Stop bringing it up. Give thanks by leaving it be and letting the hurt die, instead of insisting on continuing to annually inflict it upon the survivors and everyone else effected by what came after.

Yet another year this gets dragged back up. I had bloody family within sight distance of the towers when they fell, more that went to help with the recovery, others that spent time in the Middle East in the interim years, multiple friends and acquaintances that got fucked up by military service during the same period, and this unending hangup is not helping.

Yeah... I was playing an SP game just recently, and as near as I can tell some kind of story event happened and... well. Something like a quarter of silent sea's indie provinces ended up a hellscape of undead, demons, and garnet amazons, and an army or two of mine almost got wiped by packs of devils. A couple of smaller patrolling groups did get wiped by amazon attacks. It was pretty nasty, ha. Not actually sure if it was a story event or just something related to being adjacent to a garnet amazon province, but still.
