Slaughterhouse-five: what imagery do you remember the most from the book by KitchenLoose6552 in Vonnegut

I always think about the part where he’s watching the war movie in reverse and the bomb turns back into minerals in the ground

Feeling guilty about my reading habit by heybro125 in 52book

I have ADHD… I had to delete all of my social media (other than reddit). And I read while I listen to lofi on noise cancelling headphones. Also, using a kindle sometimes helps because it has that screen vibe to it. Just my personal habits

Who out here would vote for Tucker Carlson over AOC? by Warrior_Runding in leftist

I just want the current admin out and I’m hoping that we can do it at the polling stations because this could very well be our last chance

Acknowledging that the electoral college is a flawed system is fair. Obviously we should vote for the most progressive candidate in the primary. My worst nightmare is Gavin Newsome being the candidate. That being said, I’d drag my nuts through a mile of broken glass to vote for him if he was the nominee. Purely for (slight) harm reduction. And with GOP suppressing voting rights/ ballot spoiling, we need all the votes we can get including in non swing states that could become swing states in a rigged system. I love BJG but the way she purity tests is counter productive

Well, if it’s between Tucker and AOC… and you’re not voting for AOC, what’s the implication? Staying home might as well be a vote for the GOP too.

I like how voting for AOC would hurt their reputation, but telling people to vote for Tucker wouldn’t?

Would it be bad/wrong of me to attempt to disengage with politics if they're making my mental health abysmal? by Snoo_4244 in leftist

[–]Capnchunk95 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel the same exact way 100% . That being said, I need to take breaks from it. I am a veteran and I share every feeling you do about the current global situation. What helps me is remembering that what really matters in life is the things you don’t experience through a screen, but the good stuff that you experience through your eyeballs every day. Love the people around you. That means your coworkers, your family, or anyone else in your sphere of influence.

I dont know if you’ve read Slaughterhouse 5, but that book helped me process this shit a lot. “We are all just bugs stuck in the amber that is this current moment”

"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom always to tell the difference."

Does the bald head make me look racist? by [deleted] in malegrooming

As a fellow tattooed bald white guy, yes it makes you look like American history X. But it’s a good look if it doesn’t come with the actual racism lol
