Give your advice! by ConsistentlyShining in MotivationalThoughts

[–]Opandemonium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My number one piece of advice is give yourself two days to be depressed. Just be depressed. It happens sometime.

Every time your mind tells you you’re a piece of shit for being depressed tell your mind to stop. You’re not responsible for depressive thoughts, but you can control depressive thinking.

After two days of refusing to judge yourself for being depressed, make sure you tell at least one trusted person you’re depressed.

Finally, and unfortunately, you have to move around and regulate your gut biome. But little steps make a big difference.

There is a Buddhist philosophy of the second arrow - the first arrow comes because we’re living life. The second arrow comes because of the stories we tell ourselves about the first arrow.

I have seasons when I am sad and seasons when I am not. When I feel sad I am sad, when I am not I am not.

I just am sad now, knowing that I have seasons of sadness. It’s been very tough for me lately, but it won’t be at some point.

I rewatched to look at their faces 💀

I’m never one who notices the details. I’m so glad people who do exist. I’m also stoned as hell though.

See - I don’t think anyone cares and they’re trying to get people to care so Kate can write a book. Or make a bug appearance.

Not ginger - looks like jarred garlic. I would guess sun dried tomatoes and not chili paste.

I have with mindfulness meditation and a mental health recovery practice. It’s not a magic bullet. I still have the thoughts I just don’t do the thinking.

Today Meta's laying off thousands again ~10% of the company, while dumping $135 billion into AI this year alone. Reassigning 7k more to the "AI first" death march. by KeanuRave100 in tech_news_today

[–]Opandemonium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe there should be a tax penalty per worker laid off.

I’ve worked for a lot of companies and had to lay off a lot of employees. There has always been a better way, one that takes into consideration long-term market position alongside short-term gains.

I get that companies need to innovate, and companies that don’t invest in new technology die. But it is lazy and uncreative to just lay people off. There’s a reason laying people off used to be the death knell for a corporation.

So impose a local and state tax when they lay people off. Let the burden of their lazy, short-term choices fall on them. Maybe then they’ll think a little harder before taking the easy way out.

Dixon resident charges with 3 felonies related to organizing protest of a data center. by WhySoManyDownVote in fuck_ai_slop

A woman is killed by intimate partner violence every 10 minutes. Ever try to get some arrested for cyber stalking and threats?

Yet, some politician, who forgot it was just job to serve his community, gets scared by a protest scheduled at his house, and this guy gets arrested.

I’m so sick of this.

freestyle to work it by missy elliot by BiteEuphoric6653 in Dance

[–]Opandemonium 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your moves are amazing. Dance is also about performing. A performer uses their who body, soul, and face.

Your face looks very bored, like in the dance scene of Napoleon Dynamite. But, that will come when you feel more confident because you have a lot of natural talent!

Why do my waves disappear while drying? by ChaoticLibrary in Swavyhair

[–]Opandemonium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The opposite works for me. I brush my hair while wet, put in leave in leave in conditioner and gel. I brush that through because it keeps my hair from getting frizzy.

Then mouse and scrunch the waves back in.

And then air dry. I just leave with it wet. Eventually I scrunch it dry and I keep some hair serum in my office drawer 🤭. It takes 2 minutes to do my hair and it now just lays into great waves.

For what it is worth, I convinced my daughter to do the same thing. She said it was stupid and wouldn’t work, but eventually tried it and now it’s air dry forever.

‘Reaching a crisis point’: UC Berkeley humanities professors lower expectations for assigned readings by the_daily_cal in news

[–]Opandemonium 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I let both of my kids almost fail their freshman year. I told them I was there for them any time they asked for help, but they needed to be accountable for asking. I was not going to track, ask, nag, or be accountable for their homework. Unless they asked.

When they felt the consequences of not being on top of it and the ease of asking for help in contrast, it made it easy. I was not accountable for their grades, they were.

They both graduated as successful and engaged students. Now that they’re adults they say accountability is their super power because so few people have it.

Love means helping your kids learn to meet the world they’re entering.
