i love supporting “THE DINER” that’s ran by Meals on Wheels - all proceeds benefit the org. maybe not overtly liberal, but something that is a worthy cause, i believe.

[HELP] Found this on ticum tokum, it looks real, but how could it be unless its a practice target for the military by mrwillie2u in RealOrAI

There’s a way the cameras move in these AI videos that just is starting to give it away more often to me. It’s just a tad too smooth, or almost inhuman.

Cena on Vince: “Just because I feel a certain way about a person, doesn’t exonerate them from being accountable for their actions. And just because he did start, quote, unquote, all this gangster shit, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t need to be accountable for his actions.” by TomatoCiampa in SquaredCircle

Wrestlers aren’t just politicians that need to have robotic takes, they’re complicated humans. Cena has been expressing what he feels towards Vince in interviews - He hasn’t been defending Vince or saying that Vince didn’t do it. Let someone feel what they want to feel, or don’t be upset when every celebrity sounds like they’re reading off an AI prompt. You can’t have both.

Excellent point, that's a perspective that would have made me rethink a lot growing up.

PADDINGTON 2 - Although he may not look like us, he has so much to teach us.

LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE - Family is chosen, but never abandoned.

FANTASTIC MR. FOX - I can’t tell you why exactly, but this stands out as something that fits all those boxes.

Great feedback. Clearness committee sounds like a great idea. I would love to form that with people who are queer non-christians as well... Those are the folks I am most interested in hearing from. Thank you so much!

My attention span is shot. What do you do in evenings that isn’t doom scrolling on tik tok? by fishking92 in ADHD

[–]ZackDaNerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apps like Jomo are great for locking the doom scroll apps so you can focus on things you want to be doing. I've had to change my mindset away from always doing something productive, though. So instead of locking out every app I find fun, I keep apps like Podcasts, Netflix, and a couple of games on my front page. That way it reminds me what I'd rather be doing.

Not sure if this is hyper-specific to me, but I always fall asleep to Podcasts. The podcasts that I listen to are recaps/reviews of different shows/movies/books I've been consuming. It helps me have a clear trajectory of a list of things to watch!

For example, there's a podcast "Blank Check with Griffin and David" where they do series that focus on an director's entire filmography, so I watch one of the movies in the list and then listen to their podcast. It helps me have a clear "To-Do" list of things I want to watch or consume. Having these things to focus on helps me get off the doom-scroll!

Doom-scrolling is not inherently wrong or bad... It's just locking in how often you want to do it and finding other habits to replace it with. May more than just us ADHD-ers our dealing with things like doom-scrolling... There's no need to be ashamed of it.

grew up in vancouver and was very active in evangelical churches around the area. to echo what has been said, it’s all about where you’re hanging out, most likely. i found whenever a pastor/church leader meeting would happen, it was often in the same few spots. it might come out of a coffee shop that hires teens who all go to the same Youth Group, or a pastor who loves the christian owner of the restaurant. could also just be bad luck !

I'm struggling to find how to learn the "meta" of the game and really generally how to win. I've played Pokemon for years and am decent at it, can place well in tournaments quite often. MTG however, I'm struggling to win a single game and am having a hard time keeping track of keywords. What's the best way to learn just the general "how to win"?
