I get hung up on the occasional thing, I don’t have pervasive anxiety, but when that thing crosses my mind I would reflexively say a phrase to myself that is… very unhealthy. Once this mental tic gets established it makes the thing that was stuck get more ingrained so if I say the tic in my head I will just immediately start repeating “love yourself” over and over until the impulse to say the other thing has passed, eventually I’ll feel the impulse with out saying the tic and just start saying “love yourself” again and again until the impulse passes, after that it slowly fades out. I know it’s corny but it helps me when I find my mind reflexively responding to a memory with intense hostility

I don’t use YouTube so why do I need to use PeerTube?

Am I aware I’m in the simulation once I’m there?

Some times it really be like that

Yes and if someone had a knee jerk reaction to that that gives me valuable info about them. If they want to know more about it they’re free to ask, or make assumptions, doesn’t matter to me how other people feel about the word.

So many words to defend not wanting to flip a light switch. “Smart” stuff should still exist for accessibility purposes, it would be easier to strictly regulate it if it was used explicitly and exclusively as a medical device, but your average person in nearly all instances can and should be using a light switch manually.

Italy LOVES fascism, there’s no way

My kids are 20 and 22 now, yes it gets “better” but cherish it all while you can, it goes so fast.

I “watched” this movie on TV a few times as a kid in the 90s. I always hated it because it didn’t make sense to me. Many moons later I realized why, they cut out the part where they all smoke weed together to make it ok to play on TV. Seems like a pretty critical plot point to cut out!

Pretty sure this would qualify someone for elder abuse

What is “climate church”?

It’s the same picture

Defund the police IS a crazy slogan, and I say this as someone who wants to defund the police. Public perception actually does matter and if your slogan is something the vast majority of people won’t understand and will likely find outright scary you’re going to struggle very very hard to accomplish the task the slogan is attached too. Marketing matters and “defund the police” is such a bad slogan it feels like sabotage honestly
