But they could afford to buy beef from better sources. They could afford for their employees to have a career instead of a job. They could do that and still cost less than McDonalds. Yeah they’re alright compared to the big corporations but they are not improving the world - they are extracting profit from it.
If that is the case at least it could radicalize your daughters to fight for human rights. Even that would be a better outcome for your family than suicide.
You are going through a tough time like I will never know. Just know that at this time you are free. You are not bound unless you bind yourself. And that means you can choose what to do next, and your choices may improve your situation. You are in a mind prison but I cannot break you out. I’m just showing you that the door is open for when you choose to walk out.
I like having a high quality camera, mp3 player, and gps in my pocket.
Have you ever heard the phrase “fake it till you make it”? Your thoughts become your reality. If you say you are powerless then you are.
It would seem she’s still abusing you. Maybe record your transactions, including pickups on a GoPro. Another reasonable (but painful) solution is to explain to your daughters that you can no longer interact with their mother in any way. Lots of options before you throw in the towel.
Yeah it’s better than in 1995.
I’m sure there more I’m not thinking of. I’d have a hard time going back to 1995.
Relating to people in person about online media or TV has always been cringe to me. If somebody is telling me about something they saw I tell them to text it to me. Movies and books are sort of a different story - they have enough depth to generate some interesting conversation.
It’s much better to relate to people in person about 3D in person things. In order to do that you need to do some of those things. Foraging, baking bread, art, live music, meditation, dance, martial arts, or anything else that happens in person.
I still pop into Reddit for a few subs and they’re not really that interesting to be honest.
Pick something fringe that you have a belief about, like Bigfoot. Look at the evidence, really look at first hand interviews. How many witnesses before it becomes plausible? Do those hundreds of people really get off on making things up?
You could do this with anything, even western medicine. It takes practice to figure out which part of your understanding was just accepted as truth, and which part you have evidence for.
The biggest bias that everybody has is thinking that a million people can’t be wrong. That surely some other expert would have discovered it if there was anything there.
I recently heard of some physics-breaking experiment that had been repeated by a few YouTubers. Two large torus magnets with opposite ends clamped close together. This object falls slower than one of the same mass and size.
You are not your thoughts, nor are you your emotions. You are the observer of those things. Somebody presses your buttons, but it is your choice whether or not those buttons fire. For example if a child said some hurtful things to you, would it have the same impact as an adult? I should hope not. What is stopping you from viewing somebody as a child, especially if they are acting like one?
In addition to cardio, try breathing and cold water. Always breathe through your nose, even when running. Try to breathe through your nose as a cold shower takes your breath away. Or go for the full ice bath. An ice bath tells your body (the producer of anger emotions and chemicals), “hey, I’m in control here, you are not good at assessing threats”. The mind follows the breath, or the breath follows the mind.
But if I’m being honest I’ve always had a hot temper, and what is really helping me is Lithium. It allows me to observe anger without being overwhelmed by it.
I wanted something like this for weddings or group camping type events for sharing photos to multiple others at once.
I’ve been awake for 8 days, no drugs, and I did not hallucinate. I did not feel close to death and I actually had tons of athletic energy. The main detrimental effect was a loss of logging short term to long term memory, like the movie memento I had to write notes.
In California we have both the federal and state Endangered Species Acts. The common honey bee will not make the lists because it’s not native to North America. We do have endangered bumble bees, but they rarely sting, and they don’t die from it. So, no.
But in case you’re worried about harming endangered species… It is illegal to “take" one, which means to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect, or to attempt to engage in any such conduct. So in theory, a bee dying on you is not the same thing as killing it.
Likewise any time you think about something from the past, it could be the last time you ever think of it.
