I think I'm cycling between #4 and #5. While I have days where I've managed to tamp down my anger, I am nowhere close to #6 and have no idea how to get there. Any suggestions would be welcome.
I speculate that Sam 'Bankman' Fried (too perfect to be his real name) and the Alameda troll have not been arrested because they are threatening to release their sex tape if indicted *shudder* (They should be advised that releasing such disturbing footage might constitute a crime against humanity and nature.) .... Well, that and the fact that the Justus Department, and all other relevant federal agencies are operated by grifting crooks. Probably more so the latter.
Stages 4-5. Not old enough to be a serene Stage 6. When do we start calming down so this excrement doesn't freak us out? People tell me we all calm down. Well? When? If one more person tells me to calm down...
I'm trying to come up with a comparison between the elephant in the room and the political party that uses an elephant as their mascot. Can one be silent and be the elephant at the same time?

When someone says their main goal is to make billions of dollars, it's safe to conclude that person is a shitbag--especially if he's not deluded thanks to family connections, etc.
But someone who says they want to make billions of dollars AND give a bunch of it away?
If you don't run screaming at 150 miles an hour from anyone who emits that whopper, you've made a serious mistake, even if the hasty escape ensures a serious collision and attendant mortal injuries. Just get the fuck away from that bullshit at all costs.
Happily in stage 6. If you’re not here yet, hurry up! There is much less stress in stage 6. I must admit, every once in a while I regress to state 5 and tell some useful idiots to Get Off My Lawn!!
It's not a regression so much a different way of dealing with different types of people. Sometimes you need to be a #4 with them. Sometimes you need to be a #5 with them. But we should always try to be #6 while we do it!

Number 4 for me. I'm hoping to avoid the slide into 5. Still, number 4 doesn't always work out so well for me. Maybe it would go better if I could grow a moustache like ol' Matt. Although, a physician friend of mine who said two years ago that my husband, son and I were "kinda crazy" for not getting the vax, has changed his opinion after coming down with Bell's palsy following his last booster. He told me a few weeks ago that we made a very wise decision. Unrelated: I wish everyone who has an iPhone or any Apple products would ditch them. If we stopped buying their products we could "introduce" them to financial ruin and take out a big player in the cabal to usurp people's freedoms everywhere. Time to stop empowering Apple to enslave us.
My husband says there is a Jitterbug with my name on it, because I complain about Android/Google and the spying. I want to throw my phone into the bonfire. I have been purposefully disentangling myself from phone apps that I can't do without.
I'm 4 and a half.
On the last meme, can’t be 6. They won’t let us.
That's why it's the greatest rebellion!
I do aim for six and I do think we need to live our best life in the middle of this mess.
I do fall back to 4 and 5.
I am angry although I was told it is a tool for growth by my reflexologist as long as it does not lead to resentment.
She helps me to feel more six.
Lol.
Stagflation. I have to say just as a word it sucks. The reality is worse.

I think there is a vaccine for that.
The Bliss vaccine. I'm sure it won't have any side effects!
Safe AND Effective.
How could it be otherwise? ESPECIALLY if it's an experimental drug under an EUA.
Just remember how much it will piss "them" off.
Cats and horses😁
I'm in stage 7: Wake me when it's over.
There is a vaccine for that too. Help you along.

A "quiet part out loud!" poster that included an elephant was on at least one street pole in Seattle earlier this year.
I'm at stage 5 and it's a good thing the cat that will only drink out of a glass doesn't have a fridge like that around to abuse.

Skipped 5 so far. I am getting tired of worrying about clown world. Call before you come on the lawn, just sayin'.

How so very zen of you………

"Voting with your wallet" is the most powerful voice you have.
🙌 Always has been. --- Don't buy crap from Amazon, either. Do you people really think Jeff Bezos needs more money? If so, why?
Oh I am old so 5 and 6 for sure!
Lord! I was doing 5 in my early 30s!
Which is why we never fell for anything! :-)
