Would have been a better marketing campaign than what it had.

I liked Crystal Pepsi. I am the only person I have ever met who did.

I don't have an HOA but my property operates under deed restrictions that limit property owners in meaningful ways, establishing usage of the wells, easements, number of structures and so forth.

One of my neighbors repeatedly referred to herself as "the head of the HOA" and I told her she needed to stop saying that because we don't have one. I didn't say as much but I would hire an attorney to send a C&D if she were to keep that up.

Sure, until you oopsie a nuclear waste filled rocket and spread it over half a continent.

That sounds like an unpleasant way to go, poor fella.

A state of emergency still doesn't grant him any authority over state run elections. The states are fully aware of this and many are taking measures to prevent the involvement of unauthorized personnel through both legal challenge and physical security.

I hate that this is correct.

Yeah, they are not going to do this. They will redefine electromagnetic launchers as steam launchers before they actually dismantle an aircraft carrier.

I guess I don't want to shit on this advice too much, for non-pathological anxiety it can be helpful. Reframing situations to be less intense is a useful tool in your mental toolbox to alleviate stress.

However, pathological anxiety isn't really related to the importance ascribed to a situation. Here's some things that cause my anxiety to be an issue:

  1. Self-flagellation - Let's spend the afternoon, evening and all night reliving every mistakes I've made since childhood.
  2. Ego dystonic intrusive thoughts - "If you cut your throat with a sharp enough knife it won't even hurt." Thanks brain, very helpful.
  3. Nothing at all - "Hey who wants to have a panic attack for absolutely no reason? You do!"

I don't think "Do it for fun" is amazing advice for these situations. I'll stick to my meds and my doctor's advice.

If I heard this news from Karoline Leavitt, I wouldn't believe her.

These things pass because we organize, inform and fight. They don't pass on their own.

The only reason I even use pacman is because I like seeing it gobble all the little dots. Nomnomnom.

Can we stop trying to beatify this psychopath? It's possible to be against violence and still condemn Kirk and his violent legacy.

 

I recently got a fairphone and I want to move my pictures, contacts, messages, etc. from my old android phone to the new one. My initial search found some apps that do this but they look like absolute privacy nightmares. What is a good way to accomplish this without handing my phone contents out like candy to whichever malevolent spyware developer?
