Which you’d think would need some sort of permit or approval process? But it looks like you can just do whatever you want if you have the $$$

I’m absolutely sick of them. I get home from work at dick o’clock and always have to make sure there’s not one lying down in the middle of my parking spot.

My mother has somehow never held down an actual full time job, but has a house.

I have routinely worked 60, 80, 100 hour weeks much of my life. I sleep on the floor in a studio apartment.

Well yeah, of course, his friend Jerry Trivers told him that because their mutual friend Jeffrey Epstein paid him to.

All the jobs are in the field of education.

Somehow, I’ve mastered the art of doing calculus on 5 hours of sleep!kk

Really it’s like 3.5 with the side gigs too.

I’d probably be ripping my hair out and back inpatient if it weren’t for one job ending in a couple of weeks and another slowing down substantially around the same time.

I don’t sleep much until I get sick and have to take off from one of the jobs for a “catch up” day. I drink three or four Red Bulls a day, plus some Diet Coke to top off.

I was hoping to have enough to move states by the end of the summer, but it turns out I’ll probably still not have enough. Very difficult to rebuild when you get divorced from a vindictive billionaire.

Eh? My Honda Civic just had to have its struts replaced, and that was a $1000 expense which was difficult to cope with and would have been impossible were I not working three different jobs. If I wanted working AC, which I have never had in the vehicle, I’d need to spend like ~2k every year because the model has a defective condenser (and in Trump’s America, warranties are suggestions)

At some point you have to recognize that many Americans cannot afford any vehicle. Unfortunately the U.S. is not designed for people who don’t have vehicles.

While my car was in the shop yesterday, I looked at my options for getting to work, which is about seven miles from my house. There was a bus route, which would have taken at least a full hour compared to my usual 15 minute drive, and there was Uber/lyft, which would have cost me about a third of the money I’d make at work.

If god forbid, something happened to my car, I’d have to take a loan out for something I could not afford, because I have to be able to get to work to survive and pay for the damn car!

You can buy tisanes/tea with marshmallow root in it that’s good for sore throats!

Oh there’s more:

I guess the Simpsons is public domain.

Ya know, I’d rather just have plain text website designed for 4 gb or less. I’ve never been in the financial position to have 16 gbs, and it’s far worse now. I just want to not be denied access to text because all websites want to secretly run so much JavaScript and all the other shit. Eventually I’ll give up on the web and just be happy on gopher and Gemini.

Richard Dawkins, the famous atheist and author of The God Delusion (Black Swan), courted controversy on Easter Sunday by declaring his fondness for Christianity, “a decent religion in the way that Islam is not.” Dawkins went on to describe himself as a cultural Christian, noting: “I like to live in a culturally Christian country, even if I don’t believe a single word of Christian faith.”

You might watch the time segment of the video that I provided earlier to learn more about Dawkins significant contributions to Krauss’s right wing culture war book.

Most middle and high schoolers use chromebooks nowadays.

Which book is that?

I wonder if the title of the video holds a hint.

Hey, btw this guys pastor doesn’t think women should have the right to vote. The military has been actively purging women.

I mean, the entire video is covering his right wing grift book. There’s multiple “relevant parts.”

Do you want stuff about his sexism, racism, transphobia or connection to billionaire pedophiles?

I guess 58 minutes in would be a place to start if you really are opposed to the whole thing.

“my computer waifu said I’m super smart and special”

Folks should be aware that he’s now “culturally Christian” right wing media grifter.

Actual advice:

Your job is not to explain to the person what they are feeling is not real or rational. This is actively unhelpful. The experience is very very very real to the person undergoing it.

Remember that your body is chemicals. There are chemical systems that exist to tell you that you are in immediate, life threatening danger. These chemicals are able to override everything else - it is clearly evolutionary favorable to be able to just be on high alert sometimes.

These chemicals override your ability to reason. In the moment, some sort of physiological, primal reminder of safety. Food is good. Lying down. Touch and kind words from someone you feel safe around. Something that tells your body crisis is over and it is time to activate the parasympathetic nervous system.

Breathing exercises can be good, but if you do them like a drill sergeant that can make things much worse.

I’m fortunate at this point I think that I’ve burned out my body out with caffeine and high danger activities, along with experiencing something like Christian hell in a bad weed trip. I don’t think I react properly to danger anymore, but I don’t experience panic attacks annymoe either.

Hi ex husband! And mom! And Dad!

Fuck Richard Dawkins. He’s always been a shitbag, and the Files confirmed it.

According to DOJ-released documents indexed by Epstein Exposed, Richard Dawkins appears in 433 case documents, and 15 email records in the Epstein files.

British evolutionary biologist and author, emeritus fellow of New College, Oxford. Flew on Epstein’s private jet in 2002 with Steven Pinker, Daniel Dennett, and John Brockman to TED in Monterey, California. Connected through John Brockman’s Edge Foundation, which Epstein bankrolled. Mentioned 71 times across 40 Epstein documents, mostly referencing his scientific work.

How the fuck do you pal with child rapists and pedophiles and have the absolute fucking gall to write that stupid “Dear Muslima” comment. How do you fly on the Lolita Express and thing you have any moral weight on Elevator Gate? We don’t know that he put his own dick in kids, but we know his friends did. Fuck Pinker too.

Having a vagina means that you will get hundreds of messages. Some will be so bad that you will want to immediately delete the app. It’s a cacophony of dick picks and men who will just confess to the most fucked up things as an opener.

This administration has been actively hostile to space exploration. The only support is for moon to mars, because that fulfills billionaire sexual fantasies of ruling over Martian empires.

Projects like asteroid and Kuiper Belt exploration have been absolutely slaughtered. NASA has been cutting education and basically everything not directly connected to long term plans for Martian colonization. It’s also been cut up for parts and sold off to the highest bidder.
