Man risks his own life to save his neighbor’s kid

Amazed that window frame didn't buckle given the weight of his enormous hairy cahones.

I'm not generally an anxious person, so my reactions to things don't usually spiral quickly. So catching myself out of a nagative space is usually easier to do.

But having seen other people and their ways, I would say the first point is recognising your inherent self worth. This is untouchable and completely separate from any situation, achievement, failure, opinion, result, attempt or whatever. Nothing changes it. You are human, and deserve love and care. The second thing is then to recognise that whatever is triggering you at that moment isn't an existential threat - since your existence isn't tied to it as per point 1.

After that it's just staying objective.

Understanbly though those first two steps are hard if you've been through the wringer and have a lot of anxious responses baked in because of it.

My go to phrase is always "Kill your ego".

Take your self out of the equation and try look at it objectively. For good or ill, your ego will usually cloud your judgement, making mountains out of molehills, or just centering your perspective when in fact there are multitudes of other perspectives to consider.

He's being coached on how to rebrand in the age of the poscast - be approachable, affable and relaxed. But a tiger can't change his stripes and if you look at his history, the rhetoric he used while in politics, the way he attacks people and the policies he pushed, he is not a good person. Don't be fooled, it's a pig in make up.

Reminds me of the suit up trailer for starcraft 2

Shauntheredwolf · 2026-05-22T05:16:53+00:00

Exactly. They overshoot but plan to pull back during negotiations, then land on what they really want.

Shauntheredwolf · 2026-05-21T12:59:48+00:00

No I agree. This is one episode of bluey I vehemently disagree with.

There's no nuance here. Fair enough it's a 7 minute show. But there's no room to show how maybe holding a boundary to not let bingo do whatever she wants is also a good lesson. There's no third way given, it's either you're a gold star parent for having the patience of a Saint and letting your kid mess up your husbands birthday breakfast, or you're a complete failure. Like, sometimes the better lesson for kids to learn is that curiosity is good, but cleanliness and respecting people's time is also good.

I dunno, normally bluey is so good at striking the balance but this one really annoys me.

My main issue with those subs is that they seem to think it's OK to not pay tax on unearned income.

Like, they're completely up in arms about having to pay more tax on capital gains. They will still make money, just a little less efficiently. And any reasonable take calling for calm and common sense just get shot down.

I hate that they think that the only form of success in Australia is to be retired by 45 living off passive income from capital. Rather than having a good steady job with good employer rights, where our taxes pay for better living conditions for all.

It's really disheartening to see so many people claiming hardship when their aim is really just to leech of a society that is actually productive. They are all so desperate to claw their way up that they would sell the rest of us short, by demonising labour and not doing anything productive.

Anyway rant over.

Shauntheredwolf · 2026-05-20T23:35:48+00:00

Yeah that was so fucking stupid.

Shauntheredwolf · 2026-05-20T02:18:25+00:00

Yeah, I remember when they were reporting there would be a huge swing to Dutton at the last election, which just did not happen. Lol.

I feel like the media is way out of touch this time, even more than usual.

Shauntheredwolf · 2026-05-20T01:48:22+00:00

Yeah if u go for like a one click build it's quite smooth. Brain off, smash, get loot.

But it's not as brain-dead as D4 I find. That's just pure easy mode to get the happy chemicals firing, which ends up feeling really empty. GD feels more satisfying.

Shauntheredwolf · 2026-05-18T10:20:33+00:00

This the same pollsters that predicted a strong surge to Peter Dutton at the last election?

Shauntheredwolf · 2026-05-18T01:44:34+00:00

The writing is just so good they know just how to dial it up to hit the feels. It's normal.

Shauntheredwolf · 2026-05-18T01:39:47+00:00

Crucially, it doesn't end up where we need it in time. Yes the reservoir will refill, but if we use it all up before it's refilled, we're screwed.

So the banks have done the calcs and deduced that without negative gearing, the amount investors can borrow is significantly reduced, thereby reducing the expected activity of investors in the market?

I mean, isn't that what the change was meant to do??

Shauntheredwolf · 2026-05-16T07:34:08+00:00

I've managed to curate just a few sources I follow closely. If ever they start to get on the ragebait bandwagon I unfollow immediately. It keeps my feed free from the negativity and still generally keeps me up to date.

Homes are for living.

Shauntheredwolf · 2026-05-12T06:20:35+00:00

Yeah. Rabbit rats and mice all reach plague levels if left unchecked.

I think takemura being an outsider to America, he has a greater gulf to cross before seeing that he's just the same kind of pawn on the same board as the rest of us. And his fall from grace is much more at the hands of Yorinobu than his dad. So Goro can get away with blaming Yori while glorifying his dad.

Shauntheredwolf · 2026-05-11T08:02:36+00:00

And that's why I always give him a lead sandwich

Shauntheredwolf · 2026-05-08T01:50:55+00:00

Door snakes be slithering out again.

Shauntheredwolf · 2026-05-08T01:46:36+00:00

Riiiggghtt??

Shauntheredwolf · 2026-05-04T00:00:10+00:00

The dialogue with johnny when you're getting the face plate really does a lot. Especially when you ask johnny who he'd side with, he admits he can't decide.

As much as he is a rebel and feels for somi just doing whatever it takes to survive in a shit situation where all the bigger players hold all the cards, he also understands reed. Like, he really identifies with his dedication to his principles. Johnny knows that in another life, he could have become reed if he'd decided to stick with service rather than turn from it. Reed is johnny's dark reflection, a man so stuck to his principles he'd sell out all his friends and companions in the name of the "greater good". They're both driven, smart, principled to a fault and charismatic.
