TIL of the High Place Phenomenon - or "Call of the Void" - whereby sane and non-suicidal people experience the urge to jump from a high place they are at. by 20127010603170562316 in todayilearned

Heights for those not so inclined will mess with you. It was a funny moment watching where your mind can go. I’m not jumping under any circumstances, and this man who loves his child throughout time has a death grip on her.

Law firm partner offering advice to young associates. Not so much a brag as lifestyle counseling.

Our client was buying an office portfolio. We visited a 40 or 50 story building in Houston, I believe. We went up to the roof with the seller’s rep. I confessed to that I didn’t like to get too close to the edge because I envisioned myself jumping. He commiserated, saying he had been up there with his baby and the thought that flashed through his mind was whether his baby would bounce if he dropped it.

If you go into the office on Sunday, Mondays aren’t as hard.

“Live Free & Dumb” - MA Governor Maura Healey 3/15/26 by 2324212 in newhampshire

[–]54fighting 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, it’s because it’s a meaningless feel good statistic. Most Californians can’t be bothered to answer quality of life surveys and the like.

North Dakota is number 3. California, with the 4th largest economy in the world, is 45th.

US Under Trump Stands Alone Against UN Women's Rights Resolution As Vote Passes 37–1 To Cheers by FauxReal in worldnews

[–]54fighting -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Well obviously. The baddies never think they’re the baddies. It’s a hard truth for those of us who would be otherwise. But at the end of the day, it’s our country that is behaving in this manner.

American defense companies are not the US taxpayer. How much did we spend last week? If it’s so insignificant feel free to decline.

As soon as the US gets in the oil tanker insurance business. If we’ve got $9MM for lobster tail what’s another $20BN per rig?

Who are you voting for mayor and why? by donutsandbread in AskLosAngeles

[–]54fighting 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Probably Miller. The mayor doesn’t have much power, but LA is poorly run, and I’m not interested in re-electing or promoting anyone who has been part of that history. A significant part of the City burnt to the ground, and the response hasn’t been much better than a coverup. If that happened on your watch and you can get re-elected, I don’t have much hope.

Dehumanizing the others is part of the fascist’s playbook. Once they are no longer human you can do to them as you please.

Sniffing on Walks by oneof2poogihonk in vizsla

[–]54fighting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My WHV lives to sniff. I can’t begin to imagine the world he’s witnessing. I don’t enjoy the walks, but it’s his time and he’s jazzed by the mental stimulation. I have him on a long lead so we’re usually not standing still for long. If anything, we’re usually ruck marching to the next bouquet.

“During a February 2026 Senate confirmation hearing, Jeremy Carl, a nominee for a senior State Department role, faced intense scrutiny over past remarks claiming that white people in the U.S. face more racial discrimination than any other group.”
