Anyone relate?

The laziness thing resonates hard for me. When I am interested in something I can spend hours and hours learning everything about it and tinkering with it, when I am not interested it is incredibly challenging to muster the effort at all.

Deadlines and panic help, and if I can trigger my focus Ive been pretty successful with my efforts in general.

I still find myself doubting that I have ADD. Go figure.

Neuralink to implant 2nd human with brain chip as 75% of threads retract in 1st

Reply in thread

They tested on animals, identifying the retraction issue... Then did nothing and installed it into a human anyway.

In your example it'd be shampoo that chemically burns pig scalps that is pushed to market for humans anyway.

Stop being an apologist and think about what it means to have billionaires treating desperate people as guinea pigs for invasive technology testing.

‘The Wheel Of Time’ Canceled By Prime Video After 3 Seasons

I agree with most others in here, they ran roughshod over major character traits and plot points for no discernable reason. Wasted an episode of the first season on some random Warder.

That said, the biggest crime was the 8 or 9 out of 10 emotion and yelling in basically every scene. Wheel of Time can definitely drag on, so maybe they were trying to spice things up? Idk, it was weird.

At least this Rand fucks, though.

Resentfully done

Reply in thread

As someone who was bullied, and who still has flashbacks and triggers from it... Yeah I would try to forgive them, but I'm not going to feel bad about delivering some consequences.

Like I'm glad that you grew as a person but the injured party should decide if the person who inflicted the injury gets a free pass. And either way they're 100% correct.

"Pro-life" woman seeks abortion and gets denied

Thanks for this (I'm not the op). While I tend to agree that doomscrolling doesn't help my mental health, I'm not sure how to square burying my head in the sand vs not paying attention to the crazy shit going on.

I don't expect an answer or anything, just venting. I feel powerless and my taxes are apparently going to fund a concentration camp.

Whose idea was it to broadcast this?

The Confederacy seceded to protect their right to own slaves, and soldiers on the side of the Confederacy killed and died to protect their right to own slaves.

Not the kind of people we should be honoring by building statues and naming schools for them.

I think this is what people call accelerationism, meaning you want to crash the plane so it can be rebuilt.

I get it.. It's very frustrating to have to choose a candidate you're not excited for, or worse. I'd ask you if you have any loved ones who require healthcare, or anyone who's LGBT, or someone non white. They're the people who are most at risk with the hate mongering that's going on with that guy's base.
