Great for first dates too!

I wish to bury my face in Izzy’s fluffy tummy
The reality of life is that we will all die. Some will die quietly, peacefully, surrounded by loved ones. Some will die messily, painfully, alone and afraid. This is the reality we must all live in and accept.
It’s very possible that our species will die out. That is not an inherently bad or evil thing. Countless species have come and gone from Earth. Whether we destroy ourselves through war and ignorance, or we continue to thrive, doesn’t matter right now. What does matter is you.
You describe symptoms of depression and anxiety. You are sad and scared, and this is in part due to feeling powerless to fix the world. However, the only thing you have power over is yourself. Focus on helping yourself before you try to help the world. Try to find peace within yourself before seeking it in the world. The world is not, and has never been, a place of peace.
If you’d like practical advice, then I’d say stay away from weed and THC if it’s making you anxious. Keep away from alcohol as it will just exacerbate your depressed feelings. If you haven’t already, please discuss your feelings with a therapist and see a psychiatrist for mental health diagnoses and treatment. If either of these hasn’t worked for you before, I’d urge you to seek second opinions.

I’m just waiting for him to openly suggest that the US “return Alaska to its rightful owners.”
What I don’t get about this sort of preaching is that it highlights a major issue with the Christian faith. If their god is truly good and loves everyone equally, why is he so selective with his miracles? Why wait until the preacher is attacked to cure the child’s blindness? Why allow the preacher to be harmed at all? Why even need preachers if you’re so powerful? You could just show everyone you exist, and fix their worst problems while you’re at it.
Maybe their god wants us to live without his direct intervention, which I can respect. However, why would we see ANY miracles then? He seems quite petty.
I’m not even an atheist. I have spiritual beliefs. But these half-assed attempts at spreading their faith just come across as desperate and manipulative.
Turn a traffic citation into an arrest warrant with this one simple trick!
Sounds like you did the right thing! Glad Kevin is out there living his best life.
Prison Management: “But parolees don’t perform legal slave labor and can’t be tortured on a daily basis!”
Fascists: “We reject your reality and substitute our own!”
You know, maybe they should have been concerned with what their players wanted from a sequel in the early planning stages of Payday 3. It’s bizarre to read a statement like this on a released, full-priced game.
I don’t think I’ve met anyone of any political leaning who would like Biden to be president. People, myself included, still see him as practically perfect compared to Trump.
I’m not defending the Democrats (I’m independent and have no party loyalty). I’m just noting the outrageous state of American politics where puritanical conservatives are so terrified of change that they’d rather vote for a person who openly hates them and their way of life because he lies to them that he’ll maintain the status-quo.
Trump is trash. Biden is trash. Almost all people with any proximity to the presidency are party-loyal trash or wannabe dictators (I.e. Desantis). That said, I’d still rather vote for trash who isn’t openly quoting Hitler and insisting he’s completely above the law.
I have a hard time understanding any justification a Christian puritan would have for voting for Trump. The man embodies the excess of every sin that they obsess over, but I guess he’s the only politician who’s so open to lying to them about the things they most want.
“Grab-em-by-the-pussy” Conservatives vs. Puritan Conservatives is pretty funny to watch. However, I presume that both sides will vote for Trump because they have no sense of hypocrisy or irony.
Dude, that’s a chicken…
They’re referencing the Fallout video game franchise. There’s a government referred to as the New California Republic, and their flag has a bear with two heads. Two-headed creatures mutated by radiation is kind of a running joke in the Fallout universe.
Not saying you’re wrong, but do you have any reason or evidence you can cite as to why you believe this? Like, my two cats cuddle up in some remarkably goofy, and sometimes uncomfortable looking, positions. No sedatives required.
Some years ago I was struggling badly at a job I was ill-suited for due to having terrible social anxiety. I went to the internet for advice on what sort of work would be a good fit for me, and one of the reoccurring answers at the time was to be a stay-at-home-parent. Like wow, why didn’t I ever think of that?! I’ll just go out this weekend and marry a rich woman and start keeping home!
Oops, you’re right! Got them mixed up. Clearly it’s been too long since I’ve watched Next Gen.
Such a fluffy kitty!
