Really struggling with the third step

I think I know what's best for everyone, and could fix society if I could just force them to bow unquestioningly to what I think is best. If I could just force people to shut up and obey me, we'd have a truly free society, one free from itself. This is clearly an unhelpful train of thought, but I think I'm afraid to admit I don't have all the answers. If I don't have all the answers, if I can't bring about Utopia, them who can? All that these thoughts are doing for me is making me angry and irritable all of the time, angry that people are allowed to hold opinions contrary to mine. This is killing me, and making me believe things I don't really believe. What can I do about it?

[Disc] What's an unfinished manga that you're sad will never be finished?

With the Light: Raising an Autistic Child is a josei manga from the 00s about, well, raising a child with pretty severe autism. It's a refreshingly realistic look at disabilities in Japan, and a running theme throughout is the mother wishing for her son to become a "cheerful working adult". Unfortunately, the mangaka, Keiko Tobe, passed away from cancer at a pretty young age, while the manga was still running, and now Hikaru will never be a cheerful working adult.

The other big one that comes to mind is Osamu Tezuka's Phoenix. This manga was pretty much his life's work, with stories that span from prehistory to eternity, with the stories getting closer and closer, until they were to meet up with one final concluding chapter set in modern day Japan. Unfortunately, we got pretty much all of the chapters leading up to it, but he passed away before he could write that final modern chapter.

Tips for someone with low motor skills?

I think I'm ready to admit I'm a disabled gamer. I have pretty low fine motor skills, probably dyspraxia, although no one has ever used that term with me. I've accepted that I'm probably never going to be good at fighting games, and I struggle with a lot of character action games. Turn based RPGs and strategy games are my favorite. I have no idea if there's anything I can do to better my skills at these things?

I have some questions about dyspraxia

I'm like 99 percent sure I have some degree of dyspraxia. I have very low motor skills, I've struggled with handwriting, and have never been able to tie my shoes. When testing my dexterity, something that should take a normal person about a minute to do, took me 4 to 5 minutes. But I had never heard the word dyspraxia until my girlfriend mentioned she thinks I might have it. Talking to my parents, they had never heard the word either, they said they were told I just had low motor skills. Is dyspraxia a new concept? How do I go about getting diagnosed with it, and what can I do about it if I am diagnosed?

Are Peachy's Donuts really worth it?

Every time I pass by that stand, they have an absurd line, stretching multiple blocks. Are the donuts really that good, that they merit such a long and consistent line?

How much of that rant about State of Decay 2 is true?

He went on an extended rant today about how people were given State of Decay 2 early to try out but were unable to say anything bad about the game. Now, obviously, he's jealous of people who are important enough to get games early to make content on, but was it really true they weren't allowed to say anything bad about it? I feel like there might be a grain of truth there, but it's filtered through Phil's need to make himself look as good as possible

I've been hesitant to get Mina the Hollower

I've been afraid I'd find it too difficult, even though I hear it's got great accessibility options. But after watching Phil try to play it, I'm considering getting it. After all, I can't possibly do worse at the game than he did.

What's your favorite metal song?

I have to go with Corporeal Jigsore Quandary by Carcass. First off, that title, and the phase "human jigsaw" is so evocative, especially helped by the opening narration. In addition, I really love that jackhammer main riff that you can't help but headbang to. And some of the other guitar bits in there are also incredible.
