Me: I just don't understand why I can't just out-think my anxiety and emotions and simply react and respond in the most ideal way every single time and never feel bad

You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't

joe biden was president when this started and he could absolutely have achieved this but instead his brain leaked out his ears and all he could do was rubber-stamp more arms shipments

The entire incident is infuriating and terrifying. She’s a Latina woman who was working a service job. On her way home late at night, with her headphones in, she was detained for an hour by masked federal agents who wouldn’t give her their names.

Maria Greeley, 44, had just finished working a double shift at the Beach Bar on Ohio Street
earlier this month when she said she was surrounded by three federal agents who grabbed her, forced her hands behind her back and zip tied her.
Headphones in, Greeley had been focused on getting home to her two dogs for a walk.
Instead, she said she was detained by masked agents who did not answer when she asked for names. They questioned her for an hour, she said.

maybe this will help some realize that you don’t need access to cover the government effectively. in fact, it’s actually better.

My favorite aspect of the Columbus legend is him getting rejected by the Portuguese gets spun as them not recognizing the genius of his idea. No - he went into a roomful of expert navigators and made basic math mistakes, they thought he was a moron, and they wouldn't fund his idea on that basis.

you push these guys as to what they mean by "extreme" and it always comes down to "called me a centrist loser on a social media platform"

The extreme left’s weird soft treatment of Nick Fuentes is a reminder that if you go far enough in either direction, you loop back around

This is the response I received from ICE when I inquired about the 13-year-old they abducted from Everett, Mass. on Friday:

Good afternoon, Marisa.
Please see the below from DHS on the 13-year-old alien.
Please feel free to direct any questions to them.
Respectfully,
James

Barack Obama had this and used it to defund ACORN

To pass your agenda a Dem will need 60 votes in the Senate & a majority in the house. In every battleground state voters need to show up to give a Dem President the power to deliver without negotiating. If we fail to do that, we cant complain when what's delivered is watered down

"it's fantasy don't worry about it" my friend we can barely remember what happened 500 years ago let alone a hundred times that

if you're going to insert a weird timescale you must have some sort of internal mechanism to support it. you can't just slap "30000 years ago" on a page and be done

fantasy authors should be sat down in front of a timeline of human history and made to understand what 50,000 years represents

50,000 years ago we still had another 38,000 years to go before we'd exit the paleolithic. the hot new technology was flint-tipped spears. it's way longer than you think!
