found this while browsing yesterday… not exactly what you are looking for, but maybe get you on the right track.
i have recently become very aware of and disgusted by the the amount of plastic waste i make.
every single goddammed thing is covered in it. it’s obscene and i am ashamed.
i second this request. please
cow looks downhearted
when i encounter a dog turd on the sidewalk, i usually imagine force-feeding it to the nasty owner who left it there. it makes me super angry.
i spend a lot of time alone and so my mind wandering out unattended can be a real problem. years ago (45 now), i finally traced back to the single moments in my life that caused my demise and since then my brain LOVES to torture me repeatedly with the pain and betrayal and shame and anger of those moments.
1.5 years ago i found something that helps. i made “elevator music” for my mind.
i have always had a bit of a problem getting songs stuck in my head. so i found one that i like but not love (not a favorite song) that i have known for forever, and put the chorus and bridge on permanent replay.
the tune and lyrics are available as a reflex, last for about a minute before the loopback, it is calming and centering and allows me to manually wrest control away from thought processes that are harming me but seem to be happening automatically.
it may be that this is too specific of a solution, but it aids my sanity. good luck to you.
(the song is: “Spinning the Wheel” by George Michael)
it is really bugging me that you are getting heavily downvoted for this. it’s not like you are actively proselytizing here. i am sorry people are so shitty.
i think belief in (some type of) god is probably pretty healthy. unfortunately, my life experience has led me to a failure to believe in anything at all.
anyways… you do you. be well.
Watching their partner have sex with someone else sometimes sparked what they called “classic little jealousy issues,” which Adams said they resolved with “more communication, more growing up.” The money was just too good. And over time, they adopted a self-affirming ideology that framed everything as just business.
i swear this is the exact plot of “Boogie Nights”. i wish these young entrepreneurs all the best, but the movie didn’t exactly have a happy ending.
i got to spend 30 minutes in the doctors waiting room last week and they had a pop playlist running. i rarely listen to (any) music these days and spend my time in public with earplugs jammed in my ears.
the music coming from those speakers was ungodly distracting, aggressive, poorly constructed and LOUD. i brought it up to my family and they told me i sound like an old man (45).
i don’t think it’s just my age.
my favorite game since childhood. forever and ever, amen.
that was the most readable version of modern politics i have ever come across.
i learned a lot. thank you so much!
i think in this case we also want to consider…
do not click a twitter link
… as the article states, it is the traffic, itself, that they want.
i did enjoy the content at the link, and pondering any possible insights therein. however, i honestly didn’t find much.
for instance in the example below, the image is given as spherical and progressing from large to small into some type of infinity. i have given this as an example because of all the theorems illustrated, it is the one that seems most obviously true (to a layperson).
The fundamental theorem of arithmetic: “Every positive integer greater than 1 can be represented uniquely as a product of prime numbers.”
unfortunately, nearly all of Midjourney’s illustrations have the same type of infinite, spherical progression… but it’s neither accurate nor necessary in very many of them.
too bad, really.
back when i was younger and had the energy and focus to do so, i would engage with my father (whom holds unreasonable opinions such as you are up against with your family).
often, i would catch him making a point which directly contradicted an earlier point of his. i would then circle back to the earlier point and connect the two, breaking both of his arguments and hopefully forcing a concession.
but somehow he was able to blind himself to self-contradiction. it was infuriating.
the moral here is that i do not think it is possible to change anyone’s mind, even if you are clear and rational and your point is water-tight.
your love for and enjoyment of them must be independent of political and religious differences. good luck!
They are willing to lose that money to get your business so that you do future business with them.
… and then, after they have captured both you and the seller, they enshittify the whole scheme making everyone except their shareholders miserable.
thanks for such a thoughtful post.
i have to face-off with my dad today and i am keeping this in my back pocket.
holy shit. i can believe you actually made that make sense. well done.
