Unpopular opinion: The exploration of and trope about a hypothetical contemporary/near future Second American Civil War has been done to death and isn't particularly novel or "fun" anymore.
Huh. It appears I haven't posted anything to my profile at all in 2021 up until now.
This year in many ways felt like just another set of wasted opportunities. I expect 2022 will be similar, but it won't be for lack of effort, that I'll say.
I don't think anyone believes how much I cringe at my past self.
That being said, the only thing I can really go about it, besides dwell on memories of my lack of intelligence and foresight in the situation, is learn from it, and know better for the future. And that's some of the best advice I can offer you in these strange and trying times: to learn from your own regrets, not just to live with them.
