Can the actual dumbest, evilest motherfuckers imaginable stop being the ones in charge for like, a day, maybe?

Can people who have dedicated their lives to the study of a given field have a say in things for just a moment?

Like ever?

Turns out that getting yourself a sweet treat after a rough day stops being an effective strategy after about 226 rough days in a row

If we can't stop people from outsourcing their brains to AI the AI should at least subliminally nudge users toward prosocial behavior. "Here's your essay on Nietzsche...who always returned his shopping carts btw." If everyone's going to be stupid at least they should also be nice

I support trans rights; I recognise and respect trans people and their right to exist the same as others; I resent and object to the tired lies that bigots promote. Trans rights are human rights.

I'm proud to have pirated Adobe for over a decade, and I'm even more proud to have transitioned to open-source alternatives at every avenue. My only regret is that is that I can't remove Adobe from my life multiple times.
wow look at all of these better alternatives to Adobe that exist

ask me about Pixelart programs if interested in that aspect specifically because you *definitely* don't need PS for that, lol

I'm happy to have worked hard, so that I can be proud of the things I've made.
I'm happy to have been lucky, so that I had to the opportunities to turn that work into groceries.

"if I just work hard enough, eventually I'll make it"

No. cause if you don't make it that means you didn't work hard enough. And that isn't fair to your efforts.

there are so many factors outside of your hands. So much success is luck, and failure is not always your fault. cut yourself some slack.

Last week was awful goddamn kidney stone pain.
But if I'm practicing gratitude, the situation was only painful and not dangerous, and pain without danger is endurable.

Last night my furnace stopped igniting, and I couldn't get it fixed after an hour of troubleshooting. Had to run out and buy some emergency space heaters.
But if I'm practicing gratitude, I was able to afford a $100 expense without harm. And my kitties went blankie cuddle-mode with me all night.

When things go to hell, I've been making a point to say out loud "If I'm practicing gratitude -" then say at least one thing I can find to ease the hell. Starting with "If" reduces the pressure to find enough things to "balance it out". But say it loud so that it becomes real gratitude.

I'm trying to go through my giant never-organized piles of camera rolls that I've simply dumped onto my computer whenever I was about to change phones.

Duplicates on duplicates aside - it's nice to be reminded of fun adventures with friends, and that I've taken some genuinely striking photos.
