World War 3 isn’t the answer, not with the biggest players in the defense industry being US based.
If the change in power were due to military power, the EU would have to switch to not relying on the US…which is what they’re starting to do!
A more reasonable scenario would be financial: the world deciding to not use the US dollar as the currency standard and start cashing in the US debt.
This is something he learned from Elon.
Roadster pre-orders was nothing more than an interest free loan.
I’m in the same boat, have a 2012, can’t even get through the instructions.
No one has really answered the question yet, so here it is:
It’s generational. They’re using the tools to cope they were given by their parents, their parents before them, and so on.
People taking mental health more seriously is breaking that cycle but it is hard for parents to go against how they were taught to react. As kids, they were told to take their trauma and shove it down, get over it, and don’t talk about it. They made it through their young adult years so they think this must be good advice. However, they fail to recognize their own trauma they’ve been carrying around for 30 years.
My parents made some huge mistakes when I was growing up but I don’t blame them, I say they the did the best they could with the tools they were given and I believe that. If I believed they didn’t do their best then the things they did wrong would be nefarious and that would be evil. My parents aren’t evil people, one was raised by a hard ass alcoholic. They were shaped by that dysfunction.
They need to know you’re struggling but they need to hear it in a way they understand. If you’re in school, talk to a counselor and see what resources are available to you. If you have a job, see if they have an employee assistance program (EAP), HR will know.
Good luck.
Reminds me of something…
The gold bar is a nice touch
They’re eating, THEY’RE EATING THE LEAD.
Apple pisses me off. I have a 2012 MacBook Pro that could have continued to be supported, Apple just decided it wasn’t in their best interest to continue supporting it and if I want to continue I’ll just have to buy a new one!
My MacBook is on MacOS 13 thanks to open core legacy.
No, I’m a simple end user that takes what I’m given and uses terminal only when there’s a necessity.
I have a Chromebook running Fedora, COSMIC is the only modern DE that runs smoothly on it.
The only downside is not all of the trackpad gestures worked in Fedora that are available in Pop_OS!
Has there been any word on if all of the gestures will be supported or will that be exclusive to Pop_OS!?
Thank you!
I watched her Star Wars cruise line one a while ago and really enjoyed it. I don’t understand why they just don’t turn that into a hotel.
Nobody hates Star Wars more than a Star Wars fan.
The sequels had such a good opportunity but wasted it with over correcting.
I really enjoyed the point in Episode 8 that Rey was unimportant, I thought it could have opened up the whole universe. Instead we had to be angry about everything and the on the nose fan service in Episode 9 went way too far the other direction.
Recommendations, please!
Sausage up, Wesley!
I worry that my wife will feel she’s having to be a parent to me more than a partner, I bring it up when I’m feeling like I’ve put a lot on her shoulders and we have good communication.
One thing she said really helped her understand was the book “Is it you, me, or ADHD?” Specifically, there’s a line in there that essentially says asking a person with ADHD to focus better is like asking someone to take off their glasses and just see better.
From experience, when there’s problems in a relationship, it’s hard to be positive and the more you tiptoe around the person or argue the easier it becomes to fall into that void and soon it’s just a snake eating its own tail, no matter how much love you have for the other person. It’s very hard to break that cycle and keep up the energy.
As for becoming more of an adult, habits are huge for me so creating ones that will work for you is the place to start. The hardest thing for me to break was being sure I’d remember a thing this time! Now, if I have something to remember later, I grab my phone and type it into a note app. Then when I remember I’m forgetting something, I know to check my notes. Or, the other big one, asking Google to remind me of things. “Hey Google, remind me at 3pm tomorrow that I need to call the doctor” and then I put it out of my mind until the notification pops up on my phone the next day and I remember to thank past me for making things easier for present me.
And now the hardest bit I have: being in a relationship where you’re taking care of the person is hard. I was in one back in my youth and as soon as I knew the person was going to be ok I knew I was done. I spent so much time making sure they were ok that when they were I realized there was nothing left for me in it. I think it’s ok to ask that question, no out of anger but from maturity. Sometimes drama is attractive and could be a reason someone stays. Objectively, do either of you feel the need to go on? Of you weren’t married do either of you feel like you would shake hands and walk away? Don’t get stuck in an emotional sunk cost fallacy, neither of you deserve that.
Good luck.
Anyone have any information on the photographer?
Were they in on it or did it happen to be press taking a picture of the dude?
The angle seems very convenient.
Either way, great picture.
Holy fuck. I have to paste shit from reports into Outlook daily and that stupid fucking menu that pops up asking about if I want the formatting to match, that you can’t get rid of, drives me crazy.
And! And! You want a sync button? It’s not just hanging out anymore, you have to find it. Don’t like more clicks? That’s ok, use the F key. But not F5 like is standard on browsers! Enjoy pressing F9.
First world problems but they’re mine!
I’ve told my kid, when we’ve taken him to the hospital, don’t worry about your mother, look at me. If I’m good, you’re good.
I don’t like the description the other person commented about what meditation is because it makes no sense to me whenever I read it, so here’s my take:
You can’t stop yourself from thinking, that’s not what meditation is, imagine telling people you don’t walk because you can’t run a marathon. Meditation is training is to slowly teach yourself when you’re having a thought and think about it objectively. How does it do that? By asking you to do one thing: sit. Sit down and when your thought comes you’re going to get involved with it, it will take you down a rabbit hole. At some point, however, you’re going to REALIZE you’re deep in the thought. That realization is the first step. Once you’ve REALIZED you’re in the thought you just sit again. Take a few deep breaths, feel what your stomach feels while you breath in and out. Now another thought shows up and you start going with it. You ride that thought for a few minutes and then REALIZE you’re thinking, you took another step.
The marathon is being able to do this every moment of your daily life, that’s a tall ask that’s not really achievable to most people.
What is achievable, to stick with the metaphor, is a few miles everyday. Right now anxiety hits you over some situation and you go through every doomsday scenario in your head, causing you more anxiety and stress. Building up a meditation habit puts a space between the thing that triggered your anxiety and the spiral of thoughts so you can use that space to analyze the anxiety and not let it take you over.
Imagine you have a problem, you tell your friend your problem, your friend flips out and gives you some insane answer that isn’t helpful. You tell your friend that answer is ridiculous and your friend stops acting on emotion and starts giving you real problem solving help.
The friend is your brain, telling your friend the answer is ridiculous is the meditation doing the work in the real world.
