What do you do when you're broken, but all the people around you who usually support you are equally/more broken, or tired of your brokeness?
Where does one then lean?
Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Depends on what sort of leaning you need to do. If you just want to talk it out or need cheering up, most folks are never too broken to offer an ear to friend. It can even make them feel better. One thing NOT to do is to decide for them whether you have "asked enough" or "bored them with my same problem," since that isn't your call to make.
If it's money or stuff like, I dunno, helping a person move, that's a tougher choice.

Nah. It's just that sort of thing where my birthday is next month, and it's another year gone without a husband or some root, you know?
And my job is becoming dumber and more soul-sucking everyday.
It's all hurty.
I'd settle for a one-bedroom apartment and a decent date at some point when I'm 34. That'd get me to 35, I think.

Shrift! Imagine the antics Major Lorne could get into trying to convince someone to be the life model for his painting...

I can't figure out if Lee Goldberg is batshit crazy or just never had a beer with Captian Logic.

You may have, but I wasn't present at the time. Pray, elucidate.

This is pretty cool--some guy got onto an Air Mauritius plane with two loaded pistols and hijacked it, demanding to be flown to France for asylum. Problem was, the dipshit didn't speak French, which the pilot figured out in midflight. So, soon before landing, the pilot got on the intercom and told the rest of the plane in French what he was planning to do to thwart said hijacker, and since the guy couldn't figure out what was being said, it worked and he was arrested after landing.
