Thank you for pointing this out. Acting like an asshole is not a good way to get people on board. Personally, I think a lot of non-voters, ugh, didn’t vote because of the labor culture we’ve cultivated in the US. Sure, employers are required to allow you the time, but for the average worker, you are still expected to

Not advocating violence here, but that seems to be painting the left with a broad brush. I consider myself liberal, but I grew up in rural Minnesota and have been using guns my entire life. I own guns, smoke a prodigious amount of weed, am pro-choice, anti-trump, and would happily vote for any lawmaker willing to

I would say that it’s been shown multiple times throughout history that a bigger or more advanced armory does not determine the outcome of a violent conflict. Sure there is a lot of gun nuts and folks that have dedicated their entire life to “owning the libs”, but, as Roy Conli said “The mind is the greatest weapon in

It’s tough to form a opinion on the dementia question for me. His vocal patterns, the way his head jumps from one barely formulated idea to another, the constant lies (which, to him, probably not lies. He lives in his own reality) all point toward some type of brain deterioration. But all those things could just as

Wow. Just, Wow. I’m impressed you managed to take such an offensive, obtuse, and straight ignorant opinion and frame it like you’re just trying to help. Here is my question: Do you feed the poor kids the same shit at the gay conversion camp you obviously work for?

BC2 is still my favorite battlefield game after all this time. I also enjoyed B1942 a ton.

That’s completely fucked. But setting that aside for the moment, I really have to wonder at that supervisors thought process. Does he not understand that this woman has been using stool/ladders/etc. her entire life? The whole “putting shit up high” works great for two year olds, but this woman has dealt with her

Wow, I bet you’re fun at parties. You are entitled to say what you want, just as other people are entitled to disagree with you. It’s great that you have never had mental health issues. Some people do. I don’t know where you got the “you ain’t special because you’re sad” thing, but I agree. How is “self-pep talking

By “negative thought” I mostly just meant those times when you (I) would constantly berate myself in my head. As in, “you’re a fucking idiot who fucks up everything you touch” etc. I wouldn’t consider a differing opinion negative, but I was labeled as having a “bad attitude” because I only saw the negative in anything

We recognize that changes like this can be difficult for employees to understand

Right? At the very least I’d be happy to buy them a case of beer to sit and drink in an adjacent parking lot.

Dolphins have a toxic masculinity problem, the males are complete monsters to the opposite sex (of dolphin). They are giant assholes as far as sea creatures go.

I feel like this could be a useful lesson for children if the person teaching it is somebody who would have been a slave rather than someone who would have owned slaves. It goes from a history lesson to a show of power and perceived superiority when it’s a rich white lady handing out cotton saying “now imagine you’re

Much appreciated sir!

It’s about making new pathways in your brain. Negative thoughts create paths in your brain that makes it easier for those thoughts to come up constantly. If you work on stopping those thoughts (it takes time and focus) eventually those pathways will fade away and those thoughts will stop constantly rolling around in

You’re angry because your friend hangs out with people you see as toxic and not you? I don’t know your age or life experience, but I can tell you that no friend is worth your mental well-being. Remind yourself that you tried to help this person, but in the end everyone has to make their own decisions, no matter what

This is good advice. It took me years to rebuild the pathways in my brain away from constant negativity, but the difference it makes in your perception  of yourself and the world around you is huge. Whenever I would catch myself excoriating...myself, I would stop what I was doing and focus on telling myself to stop

Great advice! As someone who has worked in IT, everything you said checks out. Take the company issued laptop and do your best to sever any connections you have set up on your personal device.

I don’t feel at home in this world anymore is my personal favorite netflix original. Elijah Wood was great in it.
