Ron DeSantis’ False claim that some states allow ‘post-birth’ abortions. None do.

In case anyone doesn’t understand how all this works:

Republicans make outlandish, grandiose, patently untrue, vitriolic and inflammatory statements.

This is picked up by right wing “news” outlets like FOX, OAN, Newsmax, etc. and “reported” on and repeated. To the people who watch these sources they believe its legitimate, real and true.

These people ONLY get their information from these sources. They are massive echo chambers. There is no fact checking, no competeting opinion and no misinformation correction. It is in fact the purpose.

This is meant to stir anger, resentment and many other immoral narratives and it works.

Post birth abortions are OF COURSE not a thing but that truth will be lost on the people that consume and believe this bullshit.

Zelensky confirms first Abrams tanks already in Ukraine

We’ve spent Trillions to counter Russia overvthe decades.

To support Ukraine in a proxy war that weakens, destabilizes or destroys Russia where no American soldiers die and we get to test out our arsenal in a real world scenario is a worthwhile investment not to mention the moral and humanitarian aspect.

Do we have problems at home? Yes but that’s never been a good enough reason to reduce military spending.

I do think the military budget is out of control and more money should be appropriated to the issues that matter like healthcare but at this moment in time we should absolutely continue to support Ukraine.

We are the world leaders and other countries follow. We can’t let our support erode. We can’t let Russia win this one.

Stalled US aid for Ukraine underscores GOP's shift away from confronting Russia

Why is our military so huge? Why have we spent Trillions over decades?

In part to counter Russia for sure.

Now we have an opportunity to proxy war the shit out of them without risking American lives while preventing possibly worse escalation down the road should they win in Ukraine all while using old munitions and equipment that would be decommissioned anyway while increasing production at home and . . .

GOP: Nah

I’m definitely feeling this.

My schedule makes it hard to play online with people I know and I hate playing with randos.

I switched to single player games on easy mode just to be able to make progress and get through some of my huge backlog of games.

It is starting to feel a little forced though.

How do you deal with bad cyclic burnout?

It kind of sounds like you’re describing bipolar disorder. These cycles of up and down.

You said this low period always happens right after your most creative periods. Depressive cycles typically last longer than the manic phase which is what you described.

Not a doctor obviously but I lived with it undiagnosed for a very long time. Maybe read up on it and see if it fits your experience.

Whatever it is I hope you find some relief.

Ok, you have to try them with President brand butter. It’s a cultured butter from France. It’s the most buttery tasting butter my tastebuds have ever tasted. It’s all I buy now.

I’ve seen it at Publix and Walmart. If you can find it give it a try. It’s better than Kerrygold.
