“Side with the opposition”?

@Heroic

Politicians that were pro-weapons control. They had a massive following of citizens behind them. A lot of people were burned by the horrors of war and atrocities caused by both sides. I'll admit... I made some difficult choices. Blew up an inhabited but too-far-gone planet or two in the interest of the general public. They... didn't like that.

I could see why, to be honest with you.

@Heroic

Woudl you rather a plague be passed on to the majority population and kill over an estimated 3rd of your oppulation?? Or glass a dwarf planet with only 500,000 organisms?

@souleaterfan320

I’m not saying it’s objectively a bad call, dude. I’m just saying I can see how people would get upset.

People get upset about you killing a fly nowadays...

@souleaterfan320

Well, like, it’s different. Flies aren’t people. Some people might have even known some of the people who were wiped out. I’m not here to say if it was a right or wrong decision, but of course people are going to get upset over death.

@Heroic

Eh.... I guess I'm opinionated on it. But I understood the issue. But 100 years of progress, gone like that? Ugh.

Yup, feels bad either way you look at it.

Mhm.

*Looks at the bottle you took from me*

... can I finish that? Litterally only half a bottle.

@souleaterfan320

That’s a slippery slope, my man. I’m not your keeper, though. You know what you’re about.

@Heroic

...its only just... ah, forget it. I'll grab a water.

*Looks mildly upset, but buries the emotion under numbness and grabs it, walking over to the sink, pouring it out before throwing the bottle away*

It's more problems than it's worth....

...maybe. so far, I haven't been the king of good choices.

* grabs a bottle of water, cracking it and taking a swig, before sitting down*

@souleaterfan320

It’s more relatable of a trait than you’d think. If anyone tells you they were the king of good choices, they’re almost definitely lying.
*Takes my own water and drinks a bit*
But it’s never too late to steer in that direction.

@Heroic

Perhaps... perhaps.

*Looks around*

I'm just.. tired of being confused about what choices to make. I wish thigns were clear, but picking a choice nowadays is like picking a rock up in a river. What your left with is muddy water no matter the rock you chose.

@souleaterfan320

*Sigh*
Like I said. More relatable than you know. Everyone has to deal with it. Trust me when I say this isn’t meant as harshly as it sounds, but the only difference between people is whether or not they’re gonna cry about it. Choices always had to be made before, and always will need to be made in the future. You can’t let that be the thing to keep you down though, or you’ve already lost.

@Heroic

Huh. Well... luckily I won't have to make terrible choices with terrible costs, here soon. Because quite frankly... I can't do it anymore. I've got enough skeletons in the closet and ghosts haunting me. Don't need anymore.

@souleaterfan320

The scale definitely didn’t help, I’m sure. Starting back from square one, making choices for you and the things that matter to you only, will probably be a good point to turn things around.

It's definitely something more in my control.

@souleaterfan320

Take advantage of that. But don’t fall into the cycle of self pity, not without taking steps to do something about the problems at least. Alcohol is just an enabler for that.
