It’s a good practice because you always have one nearby. One of the few things no one can ever take from you.

Very well. The other night was at a fall festival and they had some carnys pushing carts filled with toys and balloons, you know, plastic swords, plastic guns, snaps, stink bombs, and blow up guitars, etc., and they all had a bunch of flags for sale, including, at the very top, a bunch of made in China trump shit.
I saw one carney, who was black, and he did not have trump shit. So when it was time to let the kiddo pick a toy or something, I said he could buy from that carney. And I struck up a convo by offering that it was his lack of Trump shit that got him this sale; an important thing, I think, to tell retailers of this sort. We dapped it up for a second and he was looked at me like, “come the fuck on, obviously there’s no trump shit on my cart.” He said one of the other Carneys told him how much more money he could make, and how he asked the other guy back, “man, are you fucking stupid?” Nice guy.
Dropped every one of them. Gd.
I’m presuming it’s well water because city water wouldn’t do that unless there was a major, widespread problem.
$200 is for the full array of tests. VOCs, heavy metals, bacteria. Good to get the full testing done at least once.
Is anyone drinking this water?
When is the last time it got tested?
You ought to do a send away test. It’s about $200 bucks on Amazon.
There’s no way that figure holds up. For tornadoes I mean.
I’m at a man in Gibraltar who said the same thing to me. I said “you fight them here, I’ll fight them there.” You with us?
I wish they’d share the crime scene photos of their kids.
That first step for me was big early on. When you feel like a fuckup regardless of how successful you actually are, it’s hard to take time to rest. I found myself in cycles of sleeplessness during crunch time followed by damn near hibernation after completing a large project. Reframing has helped: the reward for hard work is not rest, but momentum for more hardwork. It gets easier to force yourself, to motivate yourself.
Echo that, just for music. Having some decent noise squelches out some of the anxiety noise.
Decide first think in the morning so you don’t suffer from decision fatigue.
Even when you pick your outfit, I bet it’s autopilot. I think most people can only conjure up the willpower for a few real command-level every day. Make them count by doing them early, because xecisions will be foisted upon you if you wait.
Mantras have been really helpful with this.
Use them to challenge that narrative. You’re an effective human all of the time, first of all. And that’s true as long until your metabolic and neuroelectric activty stop altogether in which case you are an effective corpse all of the time.
Right at that part of the comic where the text grey’s out, that’s where the effect of the mantras kicks in naturally.
Like I don’t know you or what you want to do or what you do, but I know you can take five minutes in the morning to tell yourself how effective you are, even if you don’t believe it, you will find yourself thinking so much less. It won’t feel like such a heavy lift to get started on something, because you’ve already sat your subconscious down and said “listen bitch, I’m effective as fuck.” It’s not going to challenge you back as much. That your subconscious. You tell that bitch what’s true and false, literally.
Just to get them going in the right direction, and velocity.
“Fuck off with your woke bullshit.”
Well first I’d have to get them up to to the top of a really tall building…
Good bot.
Man you see how it happens. You see these Republicans out there trying to fuck everything when it comes to making it easy to vote. In some places you dip your finger in a jar of ink after you cast your vote, that’s how they make sure nobody was twice on election day. In some places, I assume it’s all computerized and still accurate. That, and Nobody wants to run for office and get death threats from their neighbors, the most absolute gullible dumbasses in town. Every person in my neighborhood with a Trump sign have no idea how anything works except their own one particular job, and how to get scared at anything else.
