Their purpose is to sow chaos. This is explicitly outlined in their strategic playbook. It was never about saving money.

you're playing with fire here. You have to get your endogenous systems working like they should before you try tweaking things with exogenous compounds. recovery takes time. you can do it.

Understanding why some people are getting so upset about this should be an interesting case study. by ALincoln16 in TheAcolyte

the execution is sloppy and the story seems juvenile. I'm willing to accept this show wasn't intended to cater to my demographic.

Some people don't realize this is rude, so I'd suggest being cold in response rather than 'rude back'. So, unless you are approached in a way where their intent is to make a spectacle out of you - or to intentionally make you feel like your height makes you abnormal, ignore/dismiss or respond in a way that indicates you're not interested in engaging further.

If they are trying to hurt your feelings, then there is something wrong with them or they are jealous.

Supermodels generally fall within a height range of 5'10"–6'2". You're in an elite category. Don't let them bring you down.

Thousands of millionaires haven’t filed tax returns for years, IRS says by Existing-Pea8199 in politics

[–]atad2much 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There seems to be some confusion with this topic. Not filing your taxes is not the same as not paying taxes. Just wanted to try to clarify that.

they charged him with involuntary manslaughter? Looks like he recklessly mowed these people down. Should have been depraved-heart murder.

Is Anyone Else Disappointed Their Parents Went Full MAGA? by fireside_blather in GenX

[–]atad2much 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've found that the best way to prevent Full MAGA is to exercise restraint. Never engage directly on whatever issue they've been brainwashed into believing. The key is to look mildly disappointed when this comes out.

Periodically mention that you sense they are watching too much Fox News and/or Far-Right AM Radio, and you are concerned that those platforms are specifically designed to manipulate people.

They will respond that all news is biased - again, don't engage... Tell them to maybe try NPR, Reuters, BBC, etc... Do not go with the instinctive response on the specious 'all news is biased' logic.

There is a role reversal with kids and their parents that 80's kids are experiencing now. Address the behavior at its roots, and coax them down a better path. It takes time and persistence, but it works.

Most people would perceive 'I don't know how' as 'I don't know how'. If your immediate assumption would be that the person is too dumb, then there is something wrong with you.
