Also known as snooggums on midwest.social and kbin.social.
A smattering of random stuff because I have ADHD and being able to do whatever comes up on a whim is how I spend my vacation leave since it is the only time I don’t feel stressed.
Still get the essentials done, but not on society’s schedule.
Yes, that is what they have chosen to focus on instead of solving problems because it is easier to blame and destroy than actually fix things.
I’m glad they took the time to protect the dog’s identity!
Yeah, it isn’t like eggs are a massive part of my food costs.
The overall increase in food prices have more impact than one specific ingredient.
That’s great.
Now do equal opportunities for employment.
Ethnic cleansing is just a fancy way of saying genocide.
Consider how important they are and if they are actually relevant to the conversation. Or if I feel like I’m dominating the conversation, just let several things go even if they are obviously relevant. If they are that relevant, they will probably pop back into my mind from further conversation. Plus someone else may have had the same thought, and letting them say it first lets them participate with fewer interruptions.
Let’s take a friendly chat about a video game. First off, the conversation that will be had is not that important. It might feel that way, but unless it is the only time it comes up, there will be more opportunities in the future. Going in with this mindset helps a lot.
If something pops into my head while the other person is speaking, and nobody is going to die or be maimed if I say nothing, then it isn’t really that important. If I can’t keep the thought around until they are finished, then it actually wasn’t that important. Maybe it will come up again if it really is that relevant.
Again, this took a loooong time to practice and it still takes effort. I kind of default to not volunteering anything in a group unless I can hold it until a break in the conversation. At my job that involves a lot of technical work this is actually a benefit because people pay more attention to someone who only speak about things they have thought through first. Exceot for brainstorming sessions, then I get to let all the wild ideas fly (while making sure everyone else gets a turn too),
It also implies that actively ignoring opposing viewpoints is a negative thing.
There are plenty of negative and harmful things to exclude that don’t result in an echo chamber. Excluding nazis for example is not being a real echo chamber because there will never be anything new that could be said to keep it from being a hate based ideology.
It only took three decades, getting diagnosed, and taking meds, but I finally figured out how to let most of those thoughts go unsaid!
While the article writer does whine about where thiis might lead to, as if it was the first time it happened, at least it includes the following quote from Hogan:
Hogan’s response is that people pointed out to him that “this guy is a folk hero around the world. He shouldn’t be groping people. And I thought yeah that’s right, he shouldn’t be, so take it out. I mean, he did it in all innocence, in naivety, but it’s better without it”.
It isn’t specific to the underlying transphobic contrxt, but at least pointing out that groping is bad and a protagonist shouldn’t be doing that plays a part.
It is a positive for anyone watching the movie, but also glosses over the transphobia that was prevalent at the time the movie was made. One movie is fine, but if we clean up all the movies it is a lit harder to look back and acknowledge how bad society was at the time when we lose the examples.
If we only clean up some of them, and keep the rest for context this is one that should definitely be removed.
There was also a shit ton of voter suppression and gerrymandering that made taking both houses of congress way easier. It was a lot of things combined.
Works on men too!
With men make sure to point out that they are scaring everyone by showing any emotion other than feigned happiness. Women aren’t threatening enough to need the extra step.
Moving is expensive.
They like the community where they are kocated.
Family lives nearby.
They like the location the rest of the time when there isn’t a current disaster happening.
Yeah, had me in the first half.
Didn’t know apple rented movies for that much, thought this sentence meant it was included in the apple tv movies. Guess they meant apple VOD.
The official Kraven the Hunter X account shared that after recently premiering on VOD, Kraven has become the #1 movie on Apple TV+.
It looks like a movie that would be fun to watch for ‘free’ on an already paid for streaming service but jot worth the theater price so that checks out.
Russia already chose fhe hard way.
This is in no way a new plan. The right wing has been weaponizing the legal system for decades.
