There are tools for nailing things and tools for killing things.

If it's making you so angry, it might be better to just do it yourself.

It'll also help you spend less because you won't want to log all those little transactions

In Canada, our fast food obsession is making fast food as expensive as sit-down restaurants.

But it's still cheaper because you aren't expected to tip.

But the people at fast food restaurants and at sit-down restaurants are paid the same amount hourly, so it doesn't really make sense. But we tip like Americans because culture and habit are hard to change.

But the fast food payment terminal still "gives you the opportunity" to tip

If media can say "slammed" to mean "said something about", I can use "impacted" to mean "affected". Especially when we have the word "impactful".

I'm actually not a man, believe it or not. The other women in my life have taught me to be that way as well.

Damn. I wonder if it's a cultural thing. Sometimes women are told to keep it inside, too. It's never exclusive to one gender.

Later is better than never. So keep looking towards the future.

You might find some helpful resources online in the meanwhile. Mindfulness and, in particular, emotional intelligence might be two key phrases to look into.

First, don't tell me that the answer is just to "not bottle things up", because that's objectively incorrect too. Society doesn't want you to have any negative emotions.

I'm guessing you're a man. Society imposes this upon men in particular.

Tell society to fuck off. Have emotions, experience emotions, and process them like a human being.

Then take it a step further, and learn how to handle them like an emotionally intelligent human being.

I need to know how to not express negative emotions at all whatsoever unless I'm alone.

This is part of the problem. This is not what you need to know. You need to know how to express negative emotions without losing control of yourself or your reaction to your emotions.

I know it can be done because it is done in many other people on the planet.

People bottling things up and exploding when in a safe space is part of the problem.

I'll echo the idea of anger management, or even therapy in general.

Nobody who is healthy hides away their emotions. You're not alone in feeling the way you do. Society is sending you signals that you need to do something unhealthy, but that won't actually fix the problem.

Why are Valve the good guys?

Harvest Moon is Temu Stardew Valley. I know Harvest Moon came first. Stardew Valley does literally everything better than Harvest Moon

I didn't see the "un" before "employment" and got worried about what this article was trying to say, lol

Yes.

And I see that you asked a different question in your post, too.

Yes to that, too.

I'm not sure if you're talking about Israeli liberals, or if you're trying to say that the US Republican voters are liberals or something..lol

They're actually not. That's the problem -- they can't all agree on enough things to vote in the same direction!

Che Guevara, from Desalinas PFP, was also rather homophonic

Which other word did he sound like?

Most of them! Well, not regularly. But I love going back to the games and consoles of my earlier days.

My favourites are the 16-bit and early 32-bit eras

It's a Nazi problem and a gun problem. The US has major problems with both, and hardly wants to admit it.

I'd take an unarmed Nazi over an armed one any day.

Also, yes, criminals can get guns when they're illegal. But if they're illegal, it's a lot harder, and there are a lot fewer guns out there. And also a lot fewer guns coming up into Canada. So screw the second amendment -- your president and his supporters don't care about the rest of the constitution anyway.

Yeah, it was "none" for me because DVDs didn't exist in my childhood. Well, at least not in my home.

If the time was right, I'd be checking for an SD card. There'd be a chance to save some fraction of their data...

As a Canadian, I'd be upset if we got paywalled. The BBC is where I go to for trusted news on international concerns.

Understandable, but I'd still be upset.

Only one?

I actually like this. No politics. No big name personalities. No distractions.

Just a search bar to ASK me what I want to see before it tells me what it thinks I want to see.
