Trig isn’t that bad? It’s just about relationships between angles and triangles/circles. If you learn SOH CAH TOA and what the inverses are/mean you’ve pretty much got it.

Yeah there’s no way out of this short of actual revolution.

Any reason for the unnecessary outlining and underlining instead of just cropping the picture decently? Ffs

What do you do when guests come out of the bathroom and start accusing you of being a lifestylist

We could hope but the fact is, the right wing in America is organized and the left just isn’t. Evangelical conservatives have been working for this for years, and it’s gotten them results - no Republicans would give up power to voice their actual dissent meaningfully. They bought the ticket, they’re taking the ride.

The Democrats are just a flimsy mishmash of corrupt manipulators. They haven’t had a coherent plan for ages. And now, they’ve got nothing, and a man is about to retake office who’s threatened to use the State against his political opponents.

If I were a top Democrat right now, I’d be thinking real hard about whether the party even has a future, long-term.

Absolutely! I also do it when feeding a baby, they match your breathing instinctively and it’ll settle them down really well.

I think the first term was actually traumatic and we’ve spent four years trying to put it behind us, now he’s back and prepared, with the whole government at his command for at least 2 years. The long term damage is going to be atrocious in every sense of the word.

I’m fucking heartbroken

Those of us who survive it anyway

I’m serious folks, a lot of people died the first term and a lot will die again.

I have some tips that could help, if you’re interested. I’ve been meditating pretty much my whole life since I learned it this way. Took a little effort at first but everything fell into place real quickly, and since then it’s just been an internal habit to do throughout my day.

Step 1: Find a comfortable place to sit or recline, preferably facing a blank wall. You don’t need to be in any fancy position or focus on anything in your field of view. Find a position where your entire body is able to comfortably and completely relax, no stabilizing needed.

Step 2: While gazing at the wall comfortably, become mindful of your breath. Don’t worry about like taking super deep regular breaths or anything like that, just breathe normally - but have your focus on that breathing, internally.

Step 3: Other thoughts will compete for your attention. Our brains are super busy, that’s why we’re here. Don’t force them away - that’s a muscle you haven’t really got yet, it would be very difficult. Just acknowledge each thought, decide not to continue with it at that moment, and allow it to drift away by returning your attention to your breath. This can take a while, or a couple tries to get used to doing. Don’t be upset at yourself if it’s hard at first.

Step 4: Once you’re able to acknowledge and release intrusive thoughts, start counting your breath. Try not to do so with “audible” thoughts, but just by being aware that “this is my first breath, this is the second,” etc. When other thoughts derail you and internal speech resumes, repeat Step 3 and restart the count.

If you can do that and make it to ten, you will be meditating.

It’s mind-blowing how badly the DNC fucked this all up. They learned nothing from history, theirs or their opponent’s. If that party doesn’t actually crumble as a result of this, both from internal and external pressures, I’ll be amazed.

I’m so angry. And scared. All at once. Just miserable really.

The hits really keep coming today

I’m not even lying yall I just got home and cried for a while sitting in the work van

I also looked at some guns today

This is rough

Edit: I feel I should make it clear, I’m not a risk to myself or anyone, I’m just fucking terrified

Tbh I haven’t pirated much in years. Mind PMing me any decent trackers?

Anyone who’s ever played a dice-based game knows full well how uncertain 50% is.

Warhammer: oh I just need a 4+ to hit, this shouldn’t be bad - proceeds to roll nothing but 2s

DnD: I just need an 11 to hit, surely I’ll get him this turn - fails, rerolls a fail into another fail

Every time you need it, a coinflip will fail you

Yeah tbh I’ve never really seen anyone successfully quit through vaping. Nicotine pouches or lozenges are much more effective imo.

I’m sure there are plenty of exceptions, but like you said, the vast majority of people vaping are just maintaining.

Hey, so… it’s been two weeks. The addiction deepens. I’ve got the whole game on two systems now. I’m trying to use the wiki while still finding surprises lol.

This game is the shit and I thank you for driving me to it

Everything can change on a New Year’s Day
War within a breath, it’s land or death!

That vulture came to try and steal your name but now you got a gun
Yeah, this is for the people of the sun!

I’ll always admire what the EZLN achieved for themselves.

I love how often a sample leads me to listen to something I never would have otherwise. There was a torrent floating around that had all the songs Beastie Boys sampled for Paul’s Boutique, it was fantastic.

I’m making sure the next generation knows, don’t worry

Literally. The Mayflower settlers moved into a town that had recently been wiped out by disease. People were still mourning in nearby communities when they just walzed in.
