no listen, the fediverse is good! you should try the fediverse!!

yeah thats totally fair, cause it doesn't surprise me at all either

yeah look, that's all a reasonable point of view.

I'm not trying to call you out, but I'd be curious as to what you have done personally to stand up to injustices that were doled out by the government of your own country.

I'll also still stand by my original statement that it's not useful to go on the internet and write "typical out-group person", full stop.

yeah, no, of course. I get it, I just think statements like that are completely unhelpful

I'm not sure saying its typical of Russians is helpful. I know two Russian people and neither of them are blackmailing kids into performing terroristic acts.

I'm not defending Russia's government nor the attitudes of many of the country's civilians. I also have my own biases and prejudices that I've been working most of my life to extinguish.

I just don't think it's helpful to go on the internet and write "typical X, X's are all the same" in essentially any situation.

I was walking along the shore in North Myrtle Beach and some jackass had colt .45 in a cowboy holster around his waist. He was walking with another chubby dude who was pretty obviously his friend. Never before have I seen such a fuckin chode

yes, the problem with having an ignorant idiot of a host/presenter have all these hugely influential people with their half baked ideas as guests is that he can't/won't point out basic facts like how a lack of empathy is indicative of anti-social personality disorder and narcissistic personality disorder.

so, you've got how many bros who think "empathy is a bug" is a statement that doesn't need to be challenged out there.. repeating it in their heads.

Roegan just lets them talk, its a forum for everybody!

steve holt!!

maiden fan?

que pasa

buddy

hang in there girl

yeah im not sure im so into that thing. or chicago

Ok i was confusing a chicago dog with something else.. that looks pretty wild.

just to say though, a dodger dog is my preferred way of topping a hot dog, its interesting that you just think of it as normal

well the dodger dog is the superior hot dog. raw white onion, pickle relish, ketchup, mustard. perfection

this is really a big part of it. folks who have "pre-monday" dread are dreading something and I feel like we all owe it to ourselves to find a way to work that we don't dread.

Ikigai, the Japanese philosophy, sums up a good way to try to think about this.

OP if you're reading this, I feel you, I've been thinking about beginnings/endings/time remaining since I was a little kid and its a fuckin curse, frankly.

As a few people have mentioned, mindfullness is a good thing to learn a bit about and to try to "do" basically every day if you can remember.

You dont need to sit listening to a person who's doing the "spiritually tuned in reassuring relaxing voice" that mindfulness people make the mistake of doing.

If you stop, put your feet firmly on the ground and feel the floor under your feet (rock your weight up to your toes and back to your heels and really feel the solid quality of the ground for just a sec) thats called 'grounding' typically, then take one slow (5 secs or so in and another 5 out) diaphagramatic breath (breathe down and into your belly, not the chest, your belly button should go out instead of your breastbone) and thats it. you'll now remember whatever youre looking at the next day instead of just going through the motions of your weekend free time.

things end and death is coming for all of us, but not now, and thats worth checking in to

you're a weirdo, pal

i like him

I find adults typing "eepy" to be fucking gross

congrats
