Glad to see some actually heartening news. I desperately hope at least some people look at this, and realize that treating prisoners like actual citizens and human beings is a basic necessity, and not a privilege they should have to earn.
Comedy gold, except for everyone who has to try and shop at a Walgreens.
Proof of the value of looking beyond the most base layer of news. You’ll make it easy to be fed a narrative that fits the elites worldview.
The real action is offline. Maybe it’s time to go there.
A lot of people, myself included, REALLY need to pay attention to that line. I think there is real value in online discourse, honestly, but it should come after helping people in a visible and noticeable way. People notice who offers a helping hand and who has nothing to say but scolding remarks, and that cuts both left and right.
This is me on the weekends for sure. I feel like I’m wasting time even after I’ve cleaned my room, washed the dishes, done the laundry etc etc. Journaling, and keeping a to do list helps a bit, just lets my brain remember ‘oh yeah I’ve done all the important stuff’.
Time to find out if they’ve learned the right lessons. I won’t be holding my breath.
To an extent, think work friends versus the kinda friends you meet at a concert, or at the gym. It’s not necessarily a “different” personality as much as shifting behavior and topics a bit. In short, I’m gonna talk a little different around my young engineering friends vs the guys I’ve known since high school.
Yeah that one hits a little close to home for sure.
I have waited so long for this.
You might be being a bit too harsh on Voyager. They aren’t as good as The Visitor, but Living Witness and Blink of an Eye are both really great and have always stuck with me.
Repeating a lot of what’s already been said here, but I’ll list what’s worked for me so far. Strenous exercise, lifting zone 2 cardio for an extensive period of time. Spending time in nature hiking/camping/going for walks in the park or around the neighborhood. Journaling has been a huge help for me personally, just helping me keep track of things I’ve done keeps me from feeling anxious about getting enough accomplished, and to get troubling thoughts off my chest. Prayer/Meditation/“Ritual activity”, whatever you want to call it, bullshit or not, it helps calm the mind.
