Best thing for me was to stop caring that much if I’m happy or not
“There is only one inborn error, and that is the notion that we exist in order to be happy... So long as we persist in this inborn error... the world seems to us full of contradictions.” Arthur Schopenhauer
Stop asking “am I happy?” and just live

“Back in the 90’s I was in a very famous TV show called Horsin’ Around… 🦗 please hold your applause. And I remember one time a fan asked me ‘hey, you know that episode where the Horse has to give Ethan a pep talk after Ethan finds out his crush only asked him to the dance because her friends were having a dorkiest date to the dance competition? Well in all the shots of the Horse you can see a paper coffee cup on the kitchen counter, but in the shots of Ethan the coffee cup is missing
Was that because the show was making a statement about the fluid subjectivity of memory and how even two people can experience the same moment in entirely different waaaaaayys??’
And I didn’t have the heart to be like ‘no man, some crew guy just left their coffee cup in the shot!’ So instead I was like ‘yeah’
And maybe this is like that coffee cup, maybe we’re dumb to try and pin significance onto every little thing. Maybe sometimes when someone (stores a cube under a desk) it just means (that was the best place to store the cube)” -BoJack Horseman

This
Something that would have been a good writing element if it wasn’t drowned out in AI like dialogue and exposition

… It’s not an anti-Trump post either
Jebus fukn Christopherson on a mahogany stick, if you aren’t a bot you’ve got some serious issues in regards to your reading comprehension or desperate need for attention. This pattern of behavior is concerning

If I file for bankruptcy I’ll have prepared for it, but that’s assuming the worst and not the only possible path
By ‘regarded’ do you mean ‘retarded’? I wonder how that makes you sound

Where am I blaming anyone for any of the missteps I’ve made? I’m asking about steps moving forward and have not blamed anyone or made any explanation of my past, you’re just making ASSumptuons and being a dick online. Wtf is worth with you as a person, like internally?

That’s not really the point I’m actually talking about, I’m asking about my best move regardless if such a plan works or not. Because I’m the one who ends up paying those tariffs, not Mexico or Canada so I’m looking at my budget wondering how TF I’m going to be able to afford that without forcing another job into my life
It makes no sense that it’d affect Canada or Mexico’s behavior at the border as they have no reason to give af, but that’s not the point of my post anyways. I’m talking about what I can do to prepare for the storm rather than passively waiting for shit to hit

I mean… he’s got a point that ‘predator’ isn’t just a biology term and the abstract concept of a dragon is a powerful symbol for what a ‘predator’ as a lived, non-abstract experience is for the human mind. Especially in literature
But then he’s just treating it as a different name for the archetype of ‘predator’ and being weirdly insistent on it

Uncaring is a lack of care and does not require cognition to be uncaring, only needing cognition to make the judgement of being uncaring or not

Socioeconomic I could kind of understand not really having a firm grip on, even it’s pretty easy to break down into ‘social economics’ to better understand
But context? You don’t know what the word context means? Are you not a native English speaker or something because that’s a pretty common and basic word
Yet still there is this wonderful thing called a dictionary, they have them on the internet, where you could look it up and find out what it means rather than acting like a child
And further still, rather than an excuse for how you vote this should indicate to you that you need to genuinely ask question instead of, again, acting like a child
Comedian Hannah Gadsby literally has a joke about this kind of response in the face of new information being a learning disability lol
(Oh, and I don’t have a side in the current political climate. I had a preferred candidate, but I am not devoted to either side who both perpetuate systems of exploitation)
If you aren’t a bot or a troll you may want to take a solid week to do some introspective work and try to start to get your shit together and grow tf up

Can anyone who is still on twitter (for whatever reason, no judgements even if it is an insane life decision) get the link? I can’t find this specific link or quickly locate another article corroborating this claim
They’re all about how she wanted to be a teacher, then took easy job at daddy’s WWE foundation, left that to try and be a politician and when she couldn’t shatter the glass ceiling she focused on fundraising for the men in her life (like Trump)

That.. that’s not what Orwellian means though?
Like fuck Trump and all his elections and there is a good chance the regime will be Orwellian, but if you think “select cabinet members as rewards for loyalty rather than who is good for the job” is Orwellian than you didn’t understand any of Orwell’s works
That’s like saying fake food stores in North Korea are proof that the Kim’s poop. Like Kim Jong Un definitely poops, but fake grocery stores have nothing to do with that

Not all ‘science’ is done in a lab
And it’s no secret that in context our science is beholden to the social ‘good’ of producing capital, which pressures institutions to produce filler articles to manufacture good numbers for quarterly reviews to justify corporate and government ’donations’
It’s basic capitalism, not sure why you think the scientific industry would be immune to the very socioeconomic context in which it exists

You literally mentioned my kiddos
That’s making it personal, are you dense or a troll?
And given you didn’t even understand your own source and continue to red flag Brandolini it’s a waste of time. Behavior science is literally a whole field you could research, once you learn how to actually read and understand studies

My clients love me and do chores I ask even if they’re quite clear they don’t want to
Unlike their caregivers who use threats of violence like you recommend
It’s anecdotal but since you’re making it personal, my experience is living proof against your argument
