Of course it is. Wallowing in how much of a jackass you really are fucking sucks.

Or, some people may have issues with things like intrusive thoughts, anxiety, or obsessive thinking. You know, the sort where a thought like “I absentmindedly forgot to hold the door for Sarah this morning” eventually snowballs into a reason to harm yourself.

Pretty much 100% this. Meditation isn’t just for relaxing yourself. It allows you to silence your mind and directly confront your own internal dilemma. It allows you to truly examine yourself. I imagine some people just can’t deal with themselves on such a level.

“The Jasons were, and I don’t mean to be insulting to them, but let’s just say peaceniks,” former Darpa director of the 1970s Steve Lukasik told me in 2015for a story about the use of computers during the Vietnam War.

I do sometimes enjoy telling it to f*** off. Especially when it thanks me for my feedback. 

Ha! Same here—going to turn on my white noise machine at night:

Abolish ICE.

Why do people act like the solution to this problem is more complicated than “stop using Facebook”?

Gotta disagree hard on this one. IMO Jagged Little Pill holds up as a top 10 90s album. It’s a viscerally angry album and Alanis is SO GOOD at getting her emotions across.

He never knows what he is talking about. When it appears that he does, it’s either someone else doing the typing, or it is an accident.

Upvoted mostly because I wanted to remind everyone that The Expanse is legitimately fantastic, and after the long layoff from season 3, everybody should remind everybody else that it’s coming back on Amazon. It’s free if you buy/watch enough Amazon stuff to already have Prime, and it’s the best hard scifi I’ve ever…

Syfy must have the dumbest fucking executives in the business.

“HEY!”

If it can’t be killed, break it up into smaller - and more accountable - pieces.

Right? “... the number would would total trillions of dollars and is considered outside the realm of possibility.” So what? That’s Facebook’s problem.  If you can’t pay for a crime (literally), then it should mean jail time or bankruptcy or both. 

Elliot Abrams is one of biggest monsters that walks free on this Earth.  We are an evil nation to make him part of our government.   Thank you Rep. Omar for this.   She’s braver than anyone else in Congress.  

I do actually feel pretty bad for all the corn farmers because..........
