I've contacted talking therapies is it good

I have a lot of problems with bad mental health, terrible anxiety, disturbing thoughts etc. I've been a rather nasty drinker basically. I've had problems with porn addiction from the age of about 10 or so which has caused a lot of dysfunction in life and I want to work on. My anger from drinking has subsided a bit bit on top of all this my parents have split up. I've never had any control over any part of my life and have been blamed for everything that goes wrong.

Thinking about getting into Catholicism

I'm 22, I've had a secular background. Turned to drink, the drinking gave me some terrible thoughts that feel dreadful about. Hurting people. Aside from that I just want to be a nicer person.

Does anyone get this feeling

Since I was a teenager, I've been obsessed with conspiracies. Sometimes, with a really impactful one, I get a chill that actually runs from the top of my head right down to my feet. It's really unlike any other emotion. I'm wondering if anyone else gets this. Not just conspiracies either, sometimes just weird paranormal stories or threats like abandoned buildings. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a evolutionary mechanism, warning against going to unknown places alone

VAC shouldn't be permanent

I've never been vac banned as I mostly play gmod and you can do what you want there. But I've found it ridiculous you can actually murder a man, get out after 30 years, but your vac ban will still be there. It doesn't even stop serial cheaters as they just use burner accounts anyway, it just punished people who cheated when they were teenagers and now have a family and a job. And if they do cheat again, vac should spot it anyway.

What's the weirdest thing you've overhead recently?

I was going down the street and I overhead a conversation with one of those Christian people talking to a bloke who just walked out a pub. All I heard was "this Jesus bloke sounds alright, I'll buy him a pint If I see him".

Do any of these coins still exist at all?

I've been very interested in pre decimal British coins recently, and found a few peculiar ones. The rose noble, the crown of the rose, the half crown, angel, half Laurel, spur ryal, and numerous other very obscure ones that were only made in small quantities. Those particular ones caught my interest, I can only imagine the value of one on the market. I'm just wondering if anyone here knows of any actually existing.

The series jumped the shark with the exploding baby scene

Maybe I'm just messed up or have an extremely dark sense of humour, but when I saw the baby explode I laughed. It's just so ridiculously grim it's like they were trying to put something as dark as they could get away with in the game and it just wrapped around to being comical. I can't really explain it, it's a bit like a fairly obscure genre of music called grindcore where they try and outdo each other with the darkest and grimmest lyrics they can think of but it just ends up being funny, which is the point.

Someone wants the internet dead

I reckon it's old money families in Europe who don't want embarrassing things about them online. That would explain how these big AI companies have access to seemingly unlimited lines of credit. The money is coming from somewhere, and the people above don't want a place of congregation for the worthless peasants.
