You are likely scanning my profile and history because I said something in a tone that made you feel funny or angry. This is called being reactionary. You can overcome it.

  • Stretching too, it doesn't have to be complicated like yoga, just find a doorjamb and put your arm against it or push against a wall or something, try to touch your toes, raise your arms, breath deep and hold your positions, don't wiggle or lunge, just stop where you feel a pull and hold it, try to cover all your major support areas.

  • No you're right, the only way to win the game is to not play.

    As long as you're staying aware of what you're taking in, and you regularly think about how you're thinking, you'll be miles ahead of the broad swath of humanity.

  • That's a good point, what do we choose to feed ourselves? There's massive industry built around people's food diets and almost no attention paid to what our media diets are like and what they're doing to us.

    I think at the end of the day we all need to really understand how maliable our brains are and how easily we can change the way we think just because of the stuff we're watching or listening to, and this has been an unpopular topic for a long time because it makes people worry that what they enjoy might not be good for them, but I think as long as we stay aware and keep our diet varied enough we probably will do a lot better than people who just mindlessly draw emotions from people shouting on Twitch streams all week long.

  • I found a number of really good rising streamers and progressive advocates back in the day by watching Charlie Kirk debates and probably became a lot more involved with further left politics than I would have normally if it wasn't for Charlie Kirk.

    Truly, we still carry the flame. 🔥

  • This is basically all of media now, there is no such thing as objective media of any kind anymore, everything produced is meant to pander to some group or another.

    Even if we accept the passing of the internet, we have to also understand that this is how it's going to be always, forever. Unless social attitudes broadly change, this is just what the world is going to do with recordable content from now until eternity.

    Everything you see, no matter your political ideology or attitude or values, is cultivated and selected just for you to reinforce your beliefs even if that reinforcement is inaccurate.

    A few of you reading this are going to frown and downvote and roll your eyes, and to this I warn you: the more you think you're outside of this system, or the more you think you're invulnerable to manipulation... the more vulnerable you really are.

  • Moo

  • This was the price for making comedy legal, it made not-crime into crime.

  • We can do your version on weekends and every other holiday.

  • Stop demanding that we be polite to them

    This is entirely projection about what I said, I am not a liberal nor advocating for being "polite" I am simply warning you that these "All X's are pedophiles" is dangerous rhetoric that is just black-and-white as their rhetoric so beware. There are very good reasons we need to be smarter than them. Re-read what I said exactly and take a breather. I know how frustrating it is, but this isn't a tit-for-tat game or we end up in ruin and violence and without a "good guy" side to fall back on.

    Whatever happens, we still have to live next to millions and millions of people who you might label so casually so we need better solutions and not dividing lines. If Trump dies tomorrow, all of these people will be desperate for a new narrative, and we can USE that energy to push them in the right direction and get actual movement to attack forces of capital... or we can get vindictive and stuck in the trenches arguing about fucking words with a group of people who won't remember your argument tomorrow. Let's be smart.

    History should be a very glaring example of how this can go bad if you think with your feelings instead of thinking about your feelings.

  • My life consists of spending 5 days a week getting 4 -5 hours sleep per night, steadily wearing down to a state of nearly non-function and being less and less productive at my job until the weekend, where I catch up on a little sleep if possible, just enough to start over by Monday.

  • Most MAGA are just dumbfucks who would change their "values" 180-degrees if given the right emotional narrative to follow, they're literally just children themselves, clad in machismo and vile rhetoric.

    The evil pedo-aligned people who need to be targeted (with legal repercussions) are the grifters and pipers all over youtube, twitter, cable news and radio.

    We really need to be careful about this "kill all pedos' narrative while living in a climate where they are working feverishly to label basically anyone they don't like but especially LGBTQ+ people as "pedophiles."

  • The right has been very effective at capturing our country's idiots.

    They have an answer for everyone. RFK was to capture the people who froth and rave about vaccines and essential oils and alternative cancer treatments involving incense and crystals and shit. These people have had their weird scams and delusional narratives beat down by the larger population of slightly more intelligent people for decades, so it was very smart of the right to grab those people with their very own political messiah in the form of RFK.

    They targeted every dumbfuck specifically with an answer to their feelings of frustrations for being a dumbfuck.

    The left sees dumbfucks with stupid ideas and we go "We need to shame them for their bad ideas and teach them facts and logic that they can't possibly connect with" and the right sees them and goes "We can use them."

    And we wonder why we lose so much ground to obvious clowns.

  • This comment you wrote out is probably twice as much thought and effort as the average American puts into any of our collective decision-making about who's going to represent us in the highest offices.

  • I think he said he ate dog meat traveling but later added a disclaimer he didn't know what it was or something.

    That's the LEAST of the things to be bothered about by him, I know at least two people in my life who actually did eat dog while traveling and didn't know it until later so that part isn't unheard of, the shit we need to be far more concerned about is his affinity for "collecting" roadkill and his backwards attitude towards science and complete lack of ANY qualifications to run our health and human services.

  • It's been a conservative talking point since covid that "natural immunity" is safer and more effective than vaccines, despite nothing even working that way. Even in best-cases, you won't protect yourself from a novel virus or even a regular mutating virus like the flu just because you developed antibodies to some select bacteria around where you live.

    This is why RFK talks about the gross shit he does like swimming in sewage tainted water as some kind of evidence of their claims, to appeal to the people scared as fuck of needles.

  • They were largely warm-blooded like birbs.

  • I already know nobody is going to click on OP's link, so the short version is the magnet is permanently placed down in the cow's second stomach and it stays there for life, and if the cow eats and nails or pieces of barbed wire or other metal bits found on farms, it sticks to the magnet instead of shredding up their intestines or other stomachs as their feed is tossed around and digested and re-chewed and digested again, etc.

    Some models have plastic caging around the magnet to also protect the cow's stomach from sharp metal things stuck to the magnet.

  • Nope, not doing line by line contentious essay shit, I'm not doing this at all. Bye.
