I'm part of this Facebook group and it's great, women sypporting women. I haven't managed to meet anyone yet but it's a great online community too, asking each other questions, for advice, recommendations etc. The world has changed since the pandemic and many of us are finding we are having to start again or figure out a new way of life again and it's hard to make friends as an adult.

Considering the news around it, it's probably an important find in the least. There may be significance in either the location it was recovered from or in the rarity/preservation quality of the specimen for it's specific species.

I'm hoping a real archaeological team was able to recover it instead of this kid. Fossils lose a huge majority of their scientific usefulness if you can't pinpoint the location, depth, rock it was found in.

Edit: (Read the article) The fossil is dated to the Jurassic Period. The specimen is rare because of its size(30cm) and beautiful crystallization of the mollusk's buoyancy chamber that occurred during fossillization. Not scientifically rare, but looks nice. Wouldn't doubt it's probably in someone's mansion on display for $30 grand right now

It sounds pathetic, but loneliness (or lack of a truly trustworthy friend, I should say) is by my completely and totally unprofessional assertation the leading cause to 99.99% of the annoying children spamming crap about mental health on social media.

People ain't depressed. Theys just be lonely, dawg. You can also search for specific Discord channels and find exactly what interests you to meet people. It takes a leap of faith which is often hard to take for people who are likely introverted as they're lonely to begin with, but the door is waiting for you to open it.

Alternatively you can give some fake doctor money to pretend to care about you and be temporarily satisfied by venting your frustrations to someone who forgot your name the instant you walked out the door.
