I don't see it that way at all.

This woman has no credibility at all due to her prior words and actions, and even if it were not true, giving a speech in front of the House of Representatives is not the right venue.

So what is she doing? Wasting all our time.

On Reddit, the conversation was usually incredibly angry and rude.

Here, some people fall back into that habit, but it's usually calmer and more thoughtful.

So that's what I try to do, try to be encouraging and uplifting when I can.

I've always felt pride in the ideals of my nation, and shame from its actions.

But at least I still hold onto the ideals. It's not nothing.

Made for a very awkward video, wherein a ton of people shat themselves in their cars and then got out and wandered around, looking for a bathroom.

We've all done it, but we didn't mingle with each other afterwards.

A headline and byline written as if to make us give up.

Co fucking equal.

Well you're in the UK now, so you're finding out how they interpret our weird trends. I'd love seeing that kind of stuff. Not necessarily tasting it maybe.

But I have made a pumpkin soup before. With some warm spices and not much sweetness, it could be really good.

Examples? I'm really curious!

Here is an article discussing it.

I would personally think that Buddhist techniques like mindfulness and meditation would be helpful here.

I don't know how I really achieved it, but one thing I do remember I did was altering my negative self-talk so I would be alarmed and notice I was doing it.

I basically changed "I should kill myself" to "I should kill (some other specific person)", as the latter horrified me. Might be a similar technique.

We remember those moments with shame because we keep reliving them and reveling in the shame.

Remembering something taints the memory with your current mindset.

When those memories come up, choose a different response. Laugh at yourself. Forgive yourself. Love yourself.

Those memories will change in response when you stop the self-abuse. And it really does feel better too.

What's a better resource?

I was hoping more for the "living in my head rent free" pricing tier.

The civil servants did?

We will have to watch and see.

My wife was curious so we did a rewatch tonight. Lonnie is the football player and of course it was Harry Osborne he rescued in episode one.

I caught the Do a Flip guy thing too!

And also don't remember the jocks name. I'd assumed he was gonna be another unique take on Flash Thompson. Not so much a bully as a guy who is so nice he's always getting in your way.

I liked how meeting Norman mirrored meeting Tony in the MCU.

I expect they'll continue that until Norman can properly betray Peter.

Or we will pull through it, jettisoning the billionaire capitalist class and learning how to survive and thrive again.

Do I believe it? Fuck no. But it's not worth discarding the possibility. I've spent my life trying to be better. Others can too. And enough people trying to be better might be able to pull through.

Stressed as all hell. My job depends on the things Trump is currently trying to block. If that goes, I dunno how to pay the mortgage.

So I'm exhausted, haven't slept well in a week. Otherwise okay. I've got my family and my pets. Friends to play games with.

Or ships it off to a country struggling to develop its economy so they can crash that country's textile industry.
