BMW drivers not signaling should get their car taken away.

So, I’m in my 40s, and have never really used noise cancellation. My brain has had all of the time in the world to learn how to do this. Instead, it chooses to amplify and focus on background noise.

I starter SSRIs last month. With those and some support from my wife, I’ve gotten through this Christmas shockingly intact. Got my shopping done. Wrappped everything. Made breakfast for 9, and got the turkey in the oven before 10 am. Had a small period of overwhelm while everyone was opening gifts, but no meltdowns.

Best Christmas in several years!

This is a nonsequitor. Masturbation has also long been vilified. Doesn’t make it not pleasurable. In fact, many things that are pleasurable are framed as character flaws by people who believe they will benefit from your self-denial.

Anarchism accounts for them just fine. The solution is to kick them out of society.

It’s just a damn shame that we’ve all proven to be cowards and unwilling to do it.

Do… Do you actually think you’re being downvoted by people cheering on Johnny Fuckinf Depp? Or are you just whining because you’re learning that your bad takes are also bad?
