Idk about that but certainly a realistic punishment in addition to hefty fines and jail time is losing the right to vote for life
I'm just now getting over a cold that gave me the worst laryngitis of my life. It felt like I got punched in the throat some days. So I'm super grateful today to have most of my voice back. Swelling and inflammation is reduced. Even my cough which I thought would become bronchitis is fading. So grateful to be feeling well again after a week of this.
This is a very very good habit to have. It does wonders for mental health including reducing existential dread and depression. It's not a silver bullet but it helps tremendously.
I try to remember whenever something bad is happening to me like a cold, or getting laid off, I'm grateful to not be a victim of genocide or taken as POW in Russia. Hell, not having to be drafted in the military like Americans did in Vietnam.
Being grateful in the face of suffering is its own CBT
Idgaf just offering why you may have gotten down voted. I prob would have upvoted both myself.
Low effort posts? Those sounds like shit post or circle jerk level memes.
I watched that on acid... Wow what an experience. Highly recommend
Those are some inflated numbers
I don't like it either but it's a pragmatic argument. I think you're a bit out of touch with how society can move forward if we introduce polarizing ideas. We haven't wrangled how trans women fit into sports. You really think the "let's make it a choice" argument is going to help with that?
Plenty of average joes are fine with gay people now, not racist, not misogynistic. We will get there as a society if we try to find common ground. Like I said, it may take another 20 years to sort out how to be equitable to a very marginalized group of people (maybe longer). This trans is a choice rhetoric will prolong that because it diminished any common ground that we are starting to form.
Encouraging gender identity as a choice diminishes the struggle of trans people today. I'm not against it in principle, but the current political climate doesn't have room for this stuff. Give society 20 years to figure out how to be equitable berore peddling this narrative.
It seems weird even for trump to do McDonald's to troll Harris. What is the troll move there? It seems more like he is trying to relate to people. I'm sure a lot of his fan base does work at McDonald's and other fast food so if he is trolling Harris wouldn't he be trolling those people too?
The "McDonald's doesn't hire felons" was disputed in this same post.
The middle yellow one seems believable, but it's just a random statement from a professor. Could also be easily made up.
I hate trump as much as the next person, but I am unsure if any of those 3 statements are true.
A horse is a horse, of course, of course, And no one can talk to a horse, of course, That is, of course, unless the horse Is the famous Mister Ed!
Go right to the source and ask the horse, He'll give you the answer that you'll endorse. He's always on a steady course. Talk to Mister Ed!
Why did you say it's commonly known?
This would be literal torture to my wife. I think after watching enough movies with sound effects, eating food, and seeing her reactions it would be the sound of people eating spaghetti with their hands, audibly slurping up the noodles, chewing with their mouths open, combined with loudly smooching and making kissing sounds. They're also popping their necks and elbows throughout the process. She might literally go crazy if she was forced to listen to that for a long period.
It sucks but what do you want them to do... Leave it somewhere else for you to pick up?
I do like large gatherings, but I don't really do well meeting people and making friends in them. I find it too chaotic and difficult to "be myself" with so many people. I also feel there tends to be more shallow conversation in these settings making it great for banter and social energy but less great for connecting and getting to know new folks.
I am looking to meet new people to be friends, as in capital F friend, not just a random person I know. Someone who wants to hit me up and go do something fun, check in on me and see how I'm doing, etc.
How do you go about meeting people and finding social settings that foster deeper connections?
