He means that he is now thoroughly convinced that God put him in power, therefore everything he has always wanted to do is his divine right.
We will have to claw him and all of his cronies out of our civilization.
Manifest Destiny has always been a massive crock of shit.
Examples? I’m really curious!
That’s a truly unnerving Snoopy.
He looks like Muttley.
Here is an article discussing it.
I would personally think that Buddhist techniques like mindfulness and meditation would be helpful here.
I don’t know how I really achieved it, but one thing I do remember I did was altering my negative self-talk so I would be alarmed and notice I was doing it.
I basically changed “I should kill myself” to “I should kill (some other specific person)”, as the latter horrified me. Might be a similar technique.
We remember those moments with shame because we keep reliving them and reveling in the shame.
Remembering something taints the memory with your current mindset.
When those memories come up, choose a different response. Laugh at yourself. Forgive yourself. Love yourself.
Those memories will change in response when you stop the self-abuse. And it really does feel better too.
I was hoping more for the “living in my head rent free” pricing tier.
The civil servants did?
We will have to watch and see.
My wife was curious so we did a rewatch tonight. Lonnie is the football player and of course it was Harry Osborne he rescued in episode one.
I caught the Do a Flip guy thing too!
And also don’t remember the jocks name. I’d assumed he was gonna be another unique take on Flash Thompson. Not so much a bully as a guy who is so nice he’s always getting in your way.
I liked how meeting Norman mirrored meeting Tony in the MCU.
I expect they’ll continue that until Norman can properly betray Peter.
The only time they’ve worried about paying for a tax cut.
It seems to me like massive luck that they DID have Loki season 2 to logically wrap up why Kang is no longer an issue.
I hadn’t been expecting more Loki at the end of the season, it seemed to perfectly pivot to movies.
Lately the reason that I hate it is that when I click on the channel and start typing, it starts browsing through the channel link instead of putting what I type into the channel. And it’s intermittent, so much more infuriating.
I’m 50 and have severe IBS. That, combined with a hernia I didn’t know I had, almost killed me.
I spent a decade back living with my parents in my 30s trying to figure it out, get healthy, and rebuild my life again.
Then my job became taking care of my mom while she died.
I kept myself sane with gaming, and did a favor for a local on the game Kingdom of Loathing. Didn’t know he was a local at the time, but as thanks he gifted me some pot plants.
That gave me a stake. My dad and I raised and sold those and pulled ourselves away from financial ruin.
At the same time a woman on that game took an interest in me and it got very serious very fast… because I was desperate and she was insane.
Once I pulled myself away from that I looked to dating sites and met my now wife.
As her sister has IBS, she was able to recognize that my condition was worse than just IBS alone. Because I was on public assistance at that time I was able to get the surgery and start recovering.
Problem is that I’d spent a decade training myself to panic when I needed to shit. And I’ve largely dialed that back, helping my other anxieties in the process.
We’ve been married a decade. I have a crappy corporate job that’s WFH so I love that. My own toilet and food makes my daily anxieties easier to cope with, and I hang out with my pets all day.
People would actually encourage their children to throw large pointed projectiles in the air around other people.
Didn’t turn out very well. Discontinued for the most part, not so much taboo.
I totally get where you’re coming from but wanted to put the counterpoint, as obvious as it was.
She was caring for those who nobody else could for at that time, and to generally good effect day to day.
I’ve worked in group homes and know of the challenges you face in serving those who aren’t all that stable.
Just would never have advocated for that solution for anyone really. All that is said with historical knowledge and such.
Yours was a good post.
She was trying her best with that she had and knew at the time, even if she overreacted in the end, to terrible effect.
And forced a sane but disruptive man through a disabling procedure?
No. She went way the hell too far so she could protect her little kingdom and stay in power. She was not concerned with helping her charges improve their lot in life.
I do block them, but I will still call it out when I see it.
Well you’re in the UK now, so you’re finding out how they interpret our weird trends. I’d love seeing that kind of stuff. Not necessarily tasting it maybe.
But I have made a pumpkin soup before. With some warm spices and not much sweetness, it could be really good.
