the fact that it doesn't open in russia makes me happy, to be honest

Yes, of course. Russians are, in fact, not people and do not deserve to view Western sites, media or actually any web service hosted by Western nations. What kind of a take is this? If you strategically block an entire nation from viewing our sites and media, you're handing the state-run media there more power.

Xenophobia is good because our NATO/US overlords which don't engage in propaganda tell us to hate our enemies. Then in X years they stop being our enemies and we point our irrational hate to someone else. It's also useful because you can label any dissenter as "pro Russian".

The McCarthy strategy/red scare is very effective.

We're the good guys though. Remember that. If we admit any wrongdoing ever, that's just history and now we are good. Or else.

I am not stupid enough to cry over some random meaningless post. You are creating solutions for the problems that don't exist

Stress doesn't exist? Hundreds of thousands of people have used the site and I receive tons of messages from people it has helped with not only stress but also things like grief, C-PTSD, etc. But thanks for sharing your feedback.

Do you have a background in clinical psychology, or any proof that what you're doing has any long term beneficial effects?

I've been collecting videos for years that make me shed tears. I don't easily shed tears if it feels a little too manufactured. Usually what works best for me is just seeing actual genuine unprompted emotion, though sad scenarios without any emotion can do it if the sentimentality is balanced well. Tried maybe 5-6 videos on the site and none of them worked. :/ Just watched one of my old videos, boom, instant tears. D…

I'm curious.

Can you share one of those videos?

(None of the videos on the site made me feel bad, even slightly.)

Maybe your approaching it from the wrong viewpoint.Crying doesn't have to be because you feel sad, it can come though feeling empathy, or even joy
