Typical parent.
Anyone using woke or Antifa or liberal or dei as an insult doesn't care about the actual definition. They probably don't even know the definitions at all. It's all just hate and propaganda and racism and bigotry and tribalism.
Surprise, MAGA is what happens when pathological liars and narcissists and abusers and bullies and racist bigots get into politics. And they are non stop DARVO on everything.
Just keep them in your bathroom and no one would ever find them.
Kirk was pretty dense.
We shot that poor damn gorilla.
Also, it's hard to just remove something from your life. It's easier to replace it. Try to intentionally focus on positive things and find some things you enjoy and focus on those. Pet a cat, draw something, grow a plant, go on a nature hike, make something, do something nice for a friend or family member, or even a complete stranger.
Try to let go and accept what you can't control.
Fix what you can control.
Don't get mad at the clouds because it is raining, get an umbrella.

Nobody wants to pay a livable wage anymore. Lazy executives and CEOs wanting work for free. They need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and find a way to pay people what they are worth and maybe stop buying so many avocado yachts and Starbucks summer homes with all that money they hold out on paying us with.
I'd love to share a whole meandering train of thought from my decades of therapy. I know not everyone has access to that so if I can pass on some bits of wisdom from mine maybe it will help you and others.
Anger can be thought of as our body telling us that something is wrong or unjust or bad or a wrong way done to you or someone else. Also worth noting that it is a perception, not an ultimate truth, so it CAN be wrong. E.G. You can be angry at someone for hurting you, but that wasn't their intent and was accidental. Hold that in mind for a minute while we detour and come back.
Forgiveness is OOOHHH WEEE that's the hard one. Forgiving is intentionally releasing the anger you feel even if it was done on purpose to you. But what many people fail to realize is forgiveness isn't FOR the other person, it is FOR you. You allow yourself to not harbor destructive emotions and move on. It helps me to really zoom out and realize we are silly hairless apes floating through space on a wet rock and no one knows what's going on and we are just doing our best as much as possible. Other ape hurt you, ok, move on. (Easier said than done is an understatement)
Anxiety is our body telling us we need to do something. It is a malfunction as well if it becomes chronic. But often we are putting off doing something we should. Homework, dishes, work, laundry, overthrowing capitalism, sweeping, cooking dinner, etc. A lot of anxiety can be overcome by making a list of tasks, prioritizing them and then doing ANYTHING on the list. Also easier said than done is often the case here too. If you can't even get that far it may be Dr and Rx time. My Rx helps me get started and into the tasks enough that I can do it. Getting over that initial push is the hardest part.
That detour could be much longer, but I'm coming right back on purpose to get a point across.
So anger at its core is an emotion out brain feels in response to a perceived injustice. But why? To do something about it. If you are angry at someone you live with because they never wash the dishes, but they create dirty dishes then that is your brain saying HEY it's not fair that they make dirty dishes but I wash them all. So do something. You have choices. You can either forgive them and release the anger and do the dishes as an act of service and love or just because maybe YOU want clean dishes more than they do. Ok, so do them. You could also dump all the dirty dishes onto their bed. That one isn't recommended, but you COULD do that. You could also take the healthy route and communicate with them. Try to find out why they don't, tell them you wished there were more clean dishes more often, ask what you could do together as a team to accomplish that and also listen to their point of view on it all. Try to find a compromise. If none can, then back to option A. Forgive and try to move on. Damn that's hard to do, but you deserve to not harbor anger all the time. Do it for YOU.
So remember the detour? Sit down. Some or even most of your anger may not be at them, it may be at yourself. Oh shit did you just say that? Sorry. But remember how I said anger isn't an ultimate truth and is a perception of injustice and can be wrong. Yeah. It might be that you are actually angry at yourself for something and you are also layering on anxiety and other strong emotions because you want to "be better" or "do more" and aren't. That's been a really difficult one for me to accept. A lot of my anxiety and frustration and anger was really at myself. But remember forgiveness? You can also forgive yourself. For me that looked like recognizing that I was never taught how to manage my emotions, I was never taught how to do chores well, I was never given the tools or instructions on SO MANY THINGS. And sure, some of that is on my parents, some is just learning to human. But even with my parent's "failure to XYZ" I can forgive them and understand that they were doing their best with what they had been given and taught. It's called generational traumas for a reason. Your parents yelled at you because their parents yelled at them and their parents yelled at them and all the way back who knows how many steps, but I'd wager if you had a time machine you could go back some number of generations and find an absolute asshole of a person that started it all, it just takes one and then it gets passed down. But the good news is, it doesn't necessarily have to pass down. It tends to be default, but we can break the cycle with some therapy and understanding and empathy and love and acceptance and forgiveness and all that. You see, when we love it makes a physical rainbow beam that shoots evil and blows it up in an 80's spectacle of glitter and color. Just kidding, but sorta. You can learn to overcome and make yourself a better person than they were, it takes effort and it's hard work and it sucks and it's uncomfortable, but all of it, just like physical exercise will build you into a stronger person. It takes practice. It takes consistency. It takes doing it even when it feels pointless.
Lastly, since we are all just silly little apes on a rock in space, we fuck up, a lot. No one knows what they are doing. We are all making it up as we go. Society is made up. Rules are made up. Language is made up. It's useful, but it's all made up. And because it is all an imperfect system created by imperfect beings, it's going to have flaws. And one of those is that it leaves us all feeling like outcasts, like failures, like a problem. But we feel that way because we aren't living up to an arbitrary fake system full of flaws. Is that so bad? Would you feel bad if a 5 year old made up a silly game with unclear rules and then you lost to them? You should. KIDDING!!! Of course not. That's crazy. Now extend that to other things. It's ok to feel angry at our broken systems. It's ok to feel insecure about your own role and place in those systems. It's all a giant mess, but it's also a beautiful giant mess. Try to accept and even embrace some of the chaos. Let it happen. Do your best. Focus on you. Do what makes you happy. Treat others with kindness and fairness and forgiveness and love.
And don't forget to stop and smell the roses. Or as the kids say, touch grass. It isn't an insult, it's a gentle reminder that life is better enjoying the simple things. The feeling of grass on bare feet and the smell of a flower and watching a bird or insect.
You got this. Let it go. We are silly apes on a rock in space, how absurd is that? Let that fear and anger and anxiety go and go find something you love and appreciate. 💜
Cant wait for the whole thing to implode and we finally get to the FO portion of their FA. I'm so sick of all this.
Fucking hell I hate to even say this, but this might be the first thing he has ever done that I might agree with. But hear me out before you crucify me.
There isn't rampant voter fraud near to the level MAGA claims. They imply it's 50% fraudulent. It's really like 1% or less, and most of that gets caught anyway already.
I do think it is important to validate that the person casting the vote is registered and is the correct person casting the vote. But I would balance that requirement with common sense and I'd make getting any/all valid IDs easy and free (fully tax funded). From DL to Real ID to Military or whatever else. All free. All simple to get. All accessible to do. And I'd also make all elections a national holiday and expand mail in and online voting and early voting. Give people as much margin to get their vote in as possible.
Elections do need security, hell, I'm still not entirely convinced that Elon didn't do SOMETHING nefarious in this last one. He at very least was paying people which is illegal. But we need better encryptions and processes and forms of certifying that the ballots cast were indeed the correct intended vote and ways to go back and validate your own vote in a secure way. Make a portal where you can log in like your bank and see your vote history or something.
While we're at it. Abolish the damn college. Just make it all RCV and be done with all this shit with gerrymandering and arguing over the "least worst' candidate every cycle.
You "nailed down" screws? I think that's your problem. You are supposed to hold the screw with a wrench and then rotate the entire piece of wood around it. What an idiot.
On a serious note. That is absolutely how I feel about LLMs. For one, LLMs are a specific subset of ML, which is itself a subset of a full "AI". I hate that LLM has been branded AI when that is completely misleading at best and a flat out lie at worst. Sure it's a part of AI, but it's like marketing a steering wheel as a whole car. It's very useful as a tool for a specific job, but saying it's a car makes people think it's all they need to travel somewhere.
LLMs are really just "Google Search 2.0" it just scrapes all the sites and combines them into a somewhat more concise and useful answer, but since anyone can post anything on the internet and those things can be true or false or anything in between, so too will the answers LLMs provide you. It's risky to put ANY stake in the answers without knowledge yourself of what it means.
Maybe it depends on who you are blocking.
The ones I don't understand is when they just block and entire interstate or main road. Like, why? You are keeping other random people like parents and kids from going home? How is that helping? It just makes them all REALLY mad at you and your cause.
But if you blocked specific vehicles, like ICE vans. Now we are actually doing something productive.
Sounds to me like we all stop paying taxes as much as possible. Set withholding to lowest possible, don't file in April. Dump the tea into the harbor. I do not feel represented by ANYTHING this corrupt admin has done, they don't deserve our tax dollars.
I couldn't tell from the article, but does this impact ALL apps that do NOT go through the Google Play Store?
What about 3rd party App Stores? Amazon has one, there is also the FOSS app stores like F-Droid. Are those in or out?
We had that too. >3000 people all forced to RTO for "reasons" and probably 95% of all those people do their jobs entirely on a computer. The real stupid irony is having to now commute into an office just to join a zoom call with the half of my team that is out of state and gets to stay in their homes.
I bet soot sprites taste like cotton candy charcoal.
If we want to end the crime wave in DC all we have to do is arrest the grifter in the White House.
I'd imagine the energy cost to teleport something would be much higher than a vehicle, just faster.
Also thanks to Capitalism, even if it was 0 energy and instant, the fees would stay or go up. A business under capitalism will never voluntarily decrease potential profits in the long term.
