Fair enough. At least remember what the stoics have said. Shift in perspective can make a depressed man happy. I like to qualify stoicism as "finding happiness in misery"
An important lesson from Epictetus that even in the most dire circumstances ( he was a slave to a cruel master) you can still choose to be happy. Happiness is dependent on the state of mind not your material conditions according to him although he might be taking it a wee bit far.
Oh 100% I agree. We do live in trying times. But we also live in probably the best time to be alive at least if you live in the western world.
I just want to bring some context from the past because when you look at history we're doing quite a bit better than we used to.
While the no Kings protest didn't really achieve a whole lot mobilizing up to 10 million people is a huge achievement and not one that many organizations could have dreamed of doing 50 years ago.
When I need to get through my own ADHD episodes when I'm struggling like this so I generally move to things like reading or writing or drawing. The idea that is to keep my brain moving on some sort of thought so that it can't fall asleep.
If you're focused on something you can't sleep at least in my experience ( I focused on things hard enough to end up keeping me awake when I was supposed to sleep )
Best of luck comrade. You got this
It seems like a really excellent response that's well informed and source well.
It does seem like the most plausible explanation
Yeah happened to me too. Took some time to refresh my account and to start anew with a clean slate. Still sucks though.
I ended up in lemmy.ml as it gives me access to the broadest amount of servers.
I mean Pakistan felt compelled to at least put his name in for the Nobel Peace Prize. That means he probably did something but who knows how much she was actually involved for whether or not this is all just a political stunt.
I also remember reading somewhere that India was the one that called Trump to negotiate a ceasefire after Pakistan responded. I can't tell what's misinformation this day without spending a ton of time researching the history of the topic
Given the incredibly right wing bent of the current Indian government I'm okay if our relations aren't exactly Frosty.
Trump blowing up us relations with countries is just another day
I'm choosing to believe this is what happened.
I don't care about reality anymore
Zionist founder Theodore Herzel called the antisemities and white supremacist the greatest ally to the Zionist cause of Israel.
Same news publication that went all out for Jewish discrimination when there were Palestinian protesters on the campus.
Stupid fucks
Yeah but if there Jewish suddenly we need to be considerate. Fucking racist pricks.
Oh that's just capitalism doing what capitalism does. Mainly the pursuit of profit over all else
