All these are great… I do all except the sleep mask regularly. And I use that sometimes.

Also, for times when I have insomnia - I do take a melatonin, I also will sometimes just sleep when I can, and if that means 2 hours now, up for a while, then sleep 5 hours, then that’s what I do. But I have a pretty flexible schedule overall.

Plus the massacre that started everything was so horrific, it made a clear good guy - bad guy effect in the immediate aftermath. Same as Russia looking like the bad guys invading Ukraine, especially with Zelensky being a charismatic good guy.

Those of us watching from a far, seeing it only on our screens, try to categorize what we see. And decide who we align with.

The problem is that Israel is complicated on a good day, most of us don’t have anywhere close to basic understanding of what’s going on politically there. Then add in the weird religious stuff. (For instance, my dad thinks Israel is ordained by God and therefore the government there is not corrupt, but also thinks Jewish people should convert to Christianity?)

So people feel like they can’t criticize Israel (because God) and also can’t comprehend that bad things are being done by the “good guys” to innocent people. And the innocent people are also of yet another religion that they’ve been taught to fear- so…

And politicians and journalists are also stuck because if they are too critical of Israel, it fuels antisemitism, at least here in the US.

I don’t have a solution, other than for someone smarter than me to figure out how to explain it in simple terms, that can be fed in short segments to the population along with the on the ground reporting. But that would still have to compete with the dissonance in messaging coming from churches.

We got some rechargeable motion activated lights. I love-love them. They last a long time. Less tripping over sleeping pets trying to go to the bathroom. Yes, I could turn a light on, but I don’t want to be blinded, half asleep, and used to just shuffle in the dark. Plus when the power goes out, these still work, which is a bonus.

2005 the word truthiness was coined https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truthiness

This is my answer. When things seem to be going well, something bad is about to happen

I use it now quite a bit. And I’ve been subscribing more. Before I fell down the jjk rabbit hole, I hadn’t realized how mamy creators were being suggested that I’d never hit follow on, but would watch often.

I had to clear my history because all I was getting was jujutsu kaisen and none of my subscription stuff was coming through.

Today I read your comment twice before I realized my brain had autocorrected all badminton to badmitton

Afraid of being asked this irl and dropping tmi. But since this is the Internet…

I’m 52 and going through what feels like a 2nd fucking puberty. I’m feeling creative again, but this time with panic attacks, and enough experience to own the Art of Procrastination to a level that matches Gojo’s Limitless. I’m dodging that shit like it’s effortless until the last possible moment and then crush it. So far.

I have so, so much to worry about, I’ve shorted out. My brain is simply in denial so I will probably have a sleep paralysis panic attack again soon.

At least there’s some good stuff too and I’m clinging to that. And my hyperfocusing/fixation on stuff has come in handy, even when using to avoid other things.

Yeah, my step-son is planning to adopt if he and his fiancee want kids. Climate isn’t the only reason, but even before he ever met her, he told me he’d rather adopt than bring more people into the world.

Thank you, I think I’ll have to. I wish it was a setting I could choose to turn off, like nsfw photo blurring.

Thank you for your response. It’s weird the words that get censored for me so it’s been throwing me off

Did you really say "removed"ass? Because if you did not, I do not understand the censorship filter on here. If you did, it’s funny.

This requirement is what stalls almost all constitutional changes. The last three to pass were 25th 1971 about voting rights for 18 year olds (100 days to pass) the 26th in 1967 about presidential succession (just under 3 years to pass) The last last one (27th) was added 1992 after almost 203 years of meeting the other requirements (It has to do with sitting Congress not being able to raise their own salaries, increases are delayed to the next term. )

There are 6 amendments still sitting out there awaiting ratification by the states.

Thank you, that sounds like my kinda vibe!

Death Note? I just watched the first episode last night (I’m late to anime)

If not, what is it, and should I watch?

Anyone have a link to a video that’s not copyright struck?

This is the safe space to ask a question you have that you are afraid other people would find stupid.

It’s especially good for things some people feel are common sense, but that others just managed to miss growing up.

Here’s an example. My husband is really smart. But he moved schools a lot over a 3 year period. He managed to completely miss kids being taught 1 is January, 2 is February, etc for dates. He just never learned it.

He knows his birthday in number form. But if he needs, say May 23rd in number form, he’ll look it up or ask me which number May is.

Some people would classify that as a stupid question and be a dick about it. I just answer him. I know he’s tried to learn it, he’s just never sure if he’s right and knows I know.

This sub operates under the good faith that there are no stupid questions, just people who legit missed something along the way.

In life, I would argue, there are stupid questions. But for me, it’s only in situations where someone is clearly just asking questions to make you break, or clearly not listening and asking the same questions over and over without even trying to pay attention, and lastly, weaponized incompetence where people are acting like that because they don’t want to do something and won’t just say no. Basically questions that are exclusively to waste someone else’s time are the only really stupid questions irl imho

But here, you get the benefit of the doubt if you don’t know how to properly brush your teeth, or why May is 5 and July is 7.

I believe the name originated on reddit, and an accurate name would be “thereAreNoStupidQuestionsHere” but the shorter version is what got the brand recognition, but the confusion is understandable
