Palestinian civilians are not Hamas.

What word do you prefer to use to describe people who hoard more wealth than they or their children can spend in a lifetime while the vast majority of workers are on the edge of financial ruin? Why can't they be satisfied with just having one mega yacht? One giant mansion? If not "greed" what do you call it?

Jesus ... two families, many many friends, just horribly killed on what was supposed to be a happy day.

Words are failing me, that's just really fucking sad.

Do you have this in article form, by any chance?

I was off Facebook for years, and was never a heavy user, but I had to get back on because the school my daughter goes to sends out so many notifications that way.

Facebook is very ingrained in how business and groups interact these days, what's an individual to do? Disconnect from the world and miss important school notifications, among other things?

Plus the "stealing" isn't just from people using the platform, it's also in wages and benefits for employees. Why aren't they getting a bigger share of those profits they worked to produce?

I think that's going to be something personal to each of us. For me having medication gave me the give a damn to, for instance, make sure all dishes are handled before bed. Pre-meds I'd let them go "til the next day" far too often, with meds I was able to make a nightly rule that the sink has to be empty. When I had to go off meds that rule was still in my head, and I knew that if I didn't keep the rule I'd undo the habit and leaving dishes in the sink wouldn't feel "wrong" anymore. So I embraced that "dishes in the sink overnight is wrong" feeling and that carried me through til I got back on meds. (There was MUCH whining, both internal and external, lol, but they got done!)

In the last 8 months I've gone to bed with dishes in the sink probably less than 5 times. And that used to be a HUGE issue for me. But now the rule is engrained enough that I'll plan my evening to make sure it gets done, even if that means doing it in chunks throughout the evening.

It's been a slow process and I'm still not as put together as I'd like to be, and I probably never will be, but the meds are at least giving me a fighting chance.

I basically picked a couple things that felt really important (I brush my teeth every night now!) And found my internal motivation (I hate the way my mouth feels if I go to bed without brushing) , as well as the tricks to make sure I did the things (I'm not allowed to turn off the bathroom light til I brush my teeth, that way I can't sleep cuz the light is on) and once those new rules are easy to follow I have the mental space to pick something new to add.

I wish I could be more helpful, but like I said, I feel like each of us have so many variables as to what works and what doesn't. I'm also pretty sure I'm on the autism spectrum (I keep forgetting to bring it up with my Dr so I can get evaluated, lol) so god knows how that may affect things as far as habit building for me.

There's a YouTube channel I really like, "How to ADHD" , she has great tips for habit building, and because she goes over so many ideas I was able to pick and choose the strategies that felt right for me.

Lol, those percentages are so accurate and it's so sad 😂 Even medicated there's a chance my brain just will. not. prioritize what we had discussed focusing on.

They help me push past my executive disfunction, most importantly, but also to stay focused and on task. They also kind of act as a ritual that starts a "Get it done" mindset, like taking my pill sets my intention for the day.

I had to go off my meds for a few months, and while my habits were harder to do, they weren't impossible like they felt before I had built them. I was able to rely on habit muscle memory.

Heyyyy! Popping in from a Texas area that finally got some god damn rain to say, I'm so happy you got rain, too!!

It's glorious, isn't it?!

As someone who drives for a living and tries to be very aware of the motorcyclists in the area, thank you for your note. I'll add it to my "Don't kill a motorcyclist" checklist.

(god I hope that doesn't sound sarcastic)

Aw, man, two thirds through your comment I upvoted you cuz I felt bad your joke got taken wrong.

But the winge-fest in the edit... Dude sometimes a joke doesn't land, take the L.

This was literally my husband's objection to getting medicated 😂 It helped his anxiety, then he didn't have the anxiety to get stuff done, so he thought he should just not be medicated cuz he was terrified he wouldn't have the ability anymore without the anxiety.

Lucky for him I went through the same thing with my meds, but my answer was, "Use the medication to build good habits." Which is the great wisdom I passed on to him (which I probably picked up from lurking ADHD spaces before my (and his) diagnosis).

Man, I hope I live to see the day that these greedy bastards lose a huge chunk of their business to free filing via the IRS. They've been fighting to keep tax paying citizens from getting what they want from their government for years. It's gross.

I want to see this free filing happen both for the good it'll do and because I want to see Intuit's stock plummet. Fuck Intuit.

"It'S gOiNg tO HuRt bLaCk pEoPle" fuck off you dirty liars.

Keep up the good work, it might not always work, but the times that it does are priceless.

There are a decent amount of teenagers where I work and I try to pass that idea on to as many as I can. Adults too, of course, but it's really satisfying to be able to catch people while they're young and still have loads of time to protect themselves... From a lot of things.

You're absolutely right, all this old timer "Kids these days are so soft..." B. S. When in reality the young just don't wanna die or be maimed at 30.

Take care of your bodies, kids, it's the only one you get. Don't let corporations run you into the ground and then throw you in the trash. We need to demand better working conditions from our bosses and our elected officials.

I'm wrong in thinking that vaguely asking for articles about other justices instead of engaging with the current discussion of a specific justice whose scandal just broke is distracting? How?

And why are you and I fighting about this? You're not even the guy I called out for being distracting. I don't have beef with you.

And btw, I'm doubling down because I know that I'm right. When I know I'm wrong I just admit it, like an adult.

Did I say he wasn't? The fact that he's being targeted alone is the issue I have, there's 0 articles posted here talking about any other judge

This is the comment I had a problem with, not yours. Thomas isn't being "targeted" , he's having huge scandals break. He isn't being targeted alone the scandals of his peers have broken years ago (the ones that have broken thus far anyway, I'm sure there's more we don't know about yet). And those scandals were widely discussed at the time they broke.

Why would there be current articles about the other justices when we don't have current scandals for them? That's why I say the dude (not you, you're good) was trying to change the topic.

None of those rise to the rank of "wHy aReN't wE tAlKiNg aBoUt ThEm?? though. The crimes or corruption of a dead guy, and Kavanaugh whose corruption was widely discussed before and during and after his confirmation, don't warrant changing the topic away from crimes and corruption freshly unearthed about Thomas.

Dude was being distracting on purpose.

Go on, do it, the theory ones anyway. Fuck Russia, fuck China, skip the propaganda for those two.

Learning something new can't hurt you, though 😉

Trying to read the explanations is so hard my eyes hurt and I had to give up 😭 which sucks cuz that's SO INTERESTING!! I was planning on annoying my kid with a new random fact about plants tomorrow, but I only made it through 1.5.

That's so incredibly cool though!
