“There is the potential for 3.5 hours of attention per traveler, based on average flight time,” United said.
disgusting.
that's what i was thinkin... surely single-cell eukaryote (fungi) is earlier than complex eukaryote (shark)?
found this while browsing yesterday... not exactly what you are looking for, but maybe get you on the right track.
i (longtime ex-mo) am fifth generation from Parley P Pratt who personally helped brother Joseph develop his insipid theology.
our ancestors stood together at ensign peak. such a proud history
hello. that was really lovely to read.
i share a lot of similarities with your story. although honestly you seem to be faring much better than i have into my middle age.
there definitely was a successful future for me to be had. but i fell off that path hard a decade ago and now i have very little hope nor desire to find success in any standard measure.
it has been an interesting experience to discover exactly how and why i made the choices that have landed me in my current situation. i am well beyond regret or blame (per se), and am simply grateful for some tiny piece of reality to call my own.
honesty is important.
good luck.
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.
but democracy itself hangs in the balance! no really this time for real tho!... if you contentiously abstain from participation all the bad things will happen all at once!!!!
(craven manipulation, the lot of it.) 👎
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.
oh yes, i see now....
... YOU are part of the elect few who TRULY understand. of course!
Bernie should use that gavel on Mullin's head. shut that fucker up.
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 am too lazy and grumpy today to find more relevant info for you (sorry). but these are sitting on my drive and it feels like the right day to post them up.
have a great weekend everyone!
this is where my brand-new unwrapped xfinity modem will live, unused, forever.
i recently did some deep cleaning and found the (two years) old modem sitting in a closet. unused because i am perfectly satisfied logging into the xfinity hotspot broadcast from my neighbors and there is no co-ax outlet in my place.
i considered just tossing the thing into the trash, but decided to be a responsible consumer.
after returning the old device to the xfinity store and subsequently discovering that my hotspot access was turned off, i got to take repeat train ride into the city to pick up a new device. it turns out that even though my account is in good standing, a physical device is required to be attached to my account in order to maintain hotspot access.
should i have just tossed the old one? should i just toss this one?
