You are making several great points and I thank you for explaining them. I don’t even want to argue against any of them.
I just feel like I’ve seen the USA murder muslims for a decade in the first degree, and now people are getting worked up over a second degree, and consider electing a con artist to prevent it.
I’d rather have a reasonable person in office, that might respond to the public opinion, than someone who is purely focused on their own gain.
I’m starting to feel like this genocide straw man is truly their strongest argument. Like, is that going to make me forget the other option wants to turn the country into a dictatorship?
You seriously want to bring up genocide to play a “lesser of two evils” game, when one evil is Trump? GTFO
This is spot on. I feel like it’s also important to not misunderstand meditation. Nobody is forcing you into a lotus position. Open the windows wide, get naked under 2 blankets, close your eyes as if you were going to sleep, listen to the wind, feel every single sensation on your body, try to focus on YOU and your body. You don’t have to try to force yourself to not think, just don’t try to solve problems. Try to let these thoughts go. This doesn’t mean the problem goes away, but this is not the time. Right now we let it go and try to think of how we’re actually on a beach and the wind rushing through the leaves of the trees outside is actually the sound of waves… Or, you know, whatever works for you to ground yourself and have absolutely pure “me time”.
If you’re asking yourself how that does anything, the idea is that it should help you to detach yourself from coping mechanisms and behavioral patterns that are motivated by external factors, instead of what you truly feel you need. You might start to really crave these relaxation sessions that you designed for yourself. When you are in deep relaxation, you will easily be able to divide the thoughts that are forced onto you from those truly driven by your own internal desire for the happiness that exclusively you imagine to be right, just like the relaxation environment itself.
Pretty sure you missed my point entirely as well. So I guess we’re even
Thank you 😂
Yeah, I’ve been with you. I owned a couple .so from Somalia for a while. They cranked up the cost to $$$ and I had to cancel it. I’m not a smartass, I just burned myself already in the past
Absolutely spot on. If you’ve already delayed a lot, then reduce the pressure on yourself. You already made a huge leap by even accepting that you might need additional support. You don’t have to force yourself to now make up for potentially lost time or anything. Take your time to progress at your own pace. If you feel like you’re pressuring yourself towards a potential goal, you might set yourself up for failure. Be kind to yourself and don’t demand too much.
When you hear people talking openly about emotional challenging situations in their daily life, which you can relate to, but most people in your regular surroundings can not, that can be extremely emotionally relieving to a degree that is impossible to anticipate. It’s really worth it. But you want to feel comfortable on your way there. Slow pace is fine as long as you are moving towards your own goals.
Maybe it can also help you if you think differently about your goals. It’s not like a sprint in sports. Even if you might think you have to reach certain goals to function in society, and reaching them faster would obviously be better. This is not a competition. You set your own goals for yourself and nobody else sets the rules on how to get there. Your goals are more like a beacon. Even if there are strong headwinds every once in a while, or you take a break and just relax in the sun, you can still clearly see them and continue to steer in their direction, as long as you consider it to be right. You are in control
Where I live, this is common and unnoticed. I see plenty of VW vans being driven by a mother on her way to the store after dropping off the kids at school. Maybe pickup trucks outrank those in other countries, but the mindset is all the same.
I’m not trying to apologize for trucks, but we need to expand our view.
Hopefully Chivas Regal and cocaine
Maybe I’m just old, but I thought a distribution is literally just a package delivery basically, just like you speculated. Making software work together nicely is actually already hard enough IMO. I don’t think anything is wrong. Valid question though
Tech-savy teenagers can pull of a “cyber attack” on a nonprofit. It doesn’t have to be a smart choice. Sometimes people just want to relieve their anger, break some shit, and claim it for whatever floats their boat right now.
The evidence is absolute bullshit though. So I don’t believe it either.
Thanks to a bit of anonymous text on the disinformation machine of a fascist US billionaire, we finally know what’s up. Thank God for this achievement in journalism.
The eyes probably look super weird and people are supposed to focus on the bump on the head
Lower the barrier. Ask if you can join briefly with a video call to get to know the group. Some people will delay reaching out for decades, making their life harder. You can bet that people in the group will even share exactly this feeling and situation with you. If you really believe it might help to reach out, but you’re standing in your way, try a smaller step in the direction
While I am not necessarily a fan of needlessly large trucks, I can buy an actual commercial transport vehicle or an actual bus and nobody would give a shit. You can get a 12 seat bus, drive it around alone all day long and never come up in these discussions. Hell, buy an RV of any size and you’re off the hook.
And then this “despite safety fears” bullshit. When in the history of man has a car buyer been thinking: Hmmm, I wonder if other people would be safe around me when I drive this vehicle? Nobody gives a shit.
Car is about ME, not the people around me. This will never change. Making cars about YOU and your emotions is what their entire marketing is all about. You have to be incredibly naive to expect that it won’t work.
This is nothing new. You can buy these USB cable testers on Amazon or directly from Alibaba. They just put some fancy visualization on top so you don’t have to look up what the individual LEDs on the tester mean.
As others have generally noted about Kickstarter, this is just another scam with cheap Chinese gadgets.
Username definitely checks out
Do it anyway. Having anything behind a TLD that is tied to the political control of a tiny geographic area is insanely careless
Not every muslim or arab thinks alike. Either way though, this is probably not a great subject for a first meeting 😄
I do recognize that the core issue lies deeper. It just doesn’t feel realistic to solve the fundamental problems before the election though. So it’s not unreasonable to reduce the problem to the vote for the time being IMHO.
