Why would they? That doesn’t sound profitable. /s

I’d fix it, but I am kind of enjoying this newfound power to affect your emotional state.

Anyone else get irrationally angry when someone calls it the Sahara dessert? No, just me?

It bothers me because “Sahara” is Arabic for desert, so the headline to this article is calling it the desert desert, and apparently, that’s a pet peeve of mine.

Well, that’s easy, friend. Have you tried a big heaping dose of depression? That’s how I used to accomplish such feats.

Music is better when you listen to what brings you joy and stop caring about the physical appearance of the artist.

I’ve tried it a dozen or so times, maybe worked 2-3 of them. I keep it in my arsenal of tricks because it’s quick and easy to try with no negative repercussions if it doesn’t work.

Old life hack that occasionally works for this is to use a rubber band. Grab a rubber band wide enough to cover the screw head, push the screwdriver into the screw through the rubber band, and pray it has enough grip to twist the screw loose. Good luck with whatever method you use.

This is my current dilemma with the new Star Wars outlaws game. Epic has exclusivity on release (or can buy direct on ubisoft), but I have 29 other Star Wars games all on Steam. Do I really want one odd game on a different platform, or do I just accept that I won’t be playing it at release and wait the months for it to come to Steam?

His plan is to tell Ukraine to stop fighting and just let it happen.

If illegally bribing a porn star to be quiet about an extra marital affair before he won the election is considered an official act of the president, then I’m officially done with this country.

Well, yeah, he only suffered a scratch.

Funnily enough, that’s exactly how I stopped smoking. I smoked for around 17 years and had been trying to quit for nearly 15 of them. I did everything from pills to nicotine substitutions, hypnosis, and even that laser therapy. It would work for a time, but eventually, within a month or two, I’d be back to smoking.

Then, one day, I was in a really foul mood and just didn’t want to deal with people. I ran out of cigarettes right at the end of the evening before bed and figured I’d buy some in the morning. Woke up in a worse mood the next day and decided to just stay home and ride it out. It is best for me to avoid people when I get like that, so that’s what I did. The following day, I woke up in a better mood and was about to head to the corner store for a pack when I realized I’d already gone near 36 hours without one, so thought why not wait an hour. An hour passed, and decided to wait another hour, and then another, and another. Before I knew it, I was heading back to bed for my second full day being cigaretteless.

At that point, I decided to continue my smoke-free streak and just quit. It’s been nearly 6 years since my last cigarette, and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life.

Context: I’m a disabled veteran with severe PTSD, anxiety, depression, and mood disorders caused by TBI’s. I have days where everything seems to act up all at once, and I’ll self isolate because it’s just safer for everyone if I’m alone during those times. Furthermore, I started smoking while in combat to help take the “edge” off, and as such, the nicotine addiction was extremely difficult for me to get beyond because it got wrapped up in my PTSD and anxiety issues.

Basically, what I learned from my many years of trying to quit is no matter how you “try” if you don’t truly want to quit, you won’t succeed. You have to want to quit more than you want that next cigarette.

Good luck to anyone out there still struggling to break a nicotine addiction. Stay strong. You can do it.

It certainly would be if he and his cronies believed these were legitimate charges, but instead, they like to live in make-believe land where this has all been a political stunt orchestrated by Biden to tarnish Trump’s good name prior to the upcoming election. It’s a witch hunt, a kangaroo court, made-up crimes just to label him a criminal, and so many more nonsensical mental gymnastics to twist reality into something that’s in line with their feels. Yes, he is now a convicted felon, but other than the label and an anticipated fine, I don’t think anything will change moving forward because of this.

I’m predicting the sentence right now… maximum fine of $170k, no jail time, and probably some form of probation… yay for justice.

Or maybe the character is historically accurate, and yall are just being racist…

Yeah, I was going to say I’m not Australian, so I’m not super familiar with her, but from what I do know of her, this portrait seems fitting.

Most gas-powered leaf blowers use two-cycle engines, which produce hundreds of times more hazardous pollutants and fine particulates than cars. Leaf blowers overtook automobiles as the number one source of air pollution in California during 2020.

Flushing a toilet, yes, as far as I’m aware, any toilet, regardless of the design, creates an aerosolized mist containing small particles of fecal matter. So, every time you flush a toilet with the lid open, you are covering your bathroom and everything in it in a microscopic layer of shit… enjoy brushing your teeth later.
