When the internet became more of a common thing, I really believed that it would bring people together. That all everyone needed was to be exposed to information. That seems so very naive now.

I grew up in a very conservative household and genuinely believed everything I was taught due to not being exposed to other ideas. Over time, even when in high school, I started to notice that people hated things without understanding them. Ask someone to explain to you why communism is bad, for instance, and they probably can’t because they know nothing about it.
Over time, I became exposed to more diverse people, educated people, people from different places. I went to school and got my masters degree. I have found that I am frankly fairly liberal by US standards.
I have experienced some recent schadenfreude with farmers who no longer have workers to harvest because ICE scared them away.
You’ve made a potential error in underestimating just how horrible some peoples’ lives are and how filled with hatred they are over that fact. This is really what drives so much of politics in the world–disgruntled people with no future who choose to hate others who have nothing to do with it.
I love the quote about how it is putting federal agents in danger…and I sort of think that they are doing that themselves.
The real problem becomes when bad or non scientific advice gets regurgitated to people over and over.
Easiest: My brother in a field in front of his trailer with beers in hand. Hardest: Destination wedding on an island. I disliked it.
Therapy is just littered with bad therapists, that do more harm than good and give the practice a bad name.
This has long been my experience. Although I believe that great therapists are out there, I have yet to encounter someone who didn’t blame me for the problems and cause me to feel rejected. The last person I went to looked over the intake testing and told me that nobody would want me as a client. No joke. I convinced him to let me stay but nothing happened and I burned out after 3 months or so and stopped going.
Part of me is ok with this in that any avenue to get mental health resources can be better than nothing. What worries me is that people will use ChatGPT for this sort of thing and these models will not be good help.
I recommend that you focus on lettuce rather than herbs. From my experience you can never keep up with the amount of basil that will pop out of that thing.
Guess we’ll cut food stamps but tell people who can afford to to get a watch
People will often say that they need a job. I don’t think that most repeat that because they instantly understand their mistake.
Going to assume that there was no “versaTop” in the equation.
Get a metal colander.
One of the biggest bits of propaganda of all time.
There are friends and friends of convenience. Real friends stay by your side. The others show their colors eventually. I’m sorry for you but you’ll find real friends going forward.
It can only be fact after going through some sort of tribunal.
It’s a classification system. Basically the bigger universities that do the bigger research and bring in the bigger research money.
Love it
That’s kind of you to say. There was definitely no way I could have foreseen what the Web 2.0 era would be like.
