@lemmy.caI don't know if I'd trust any of the text around it until we see more ... the picture doesn't seem like it matches at all.
I mean, you can downvote me but the text seems utterly ridiculous. If it's real then you guys are right, but it certainly doesn't seem like a believable story.
Yes, that's exactly what happened. Except it didn't and science isn't based on your feelings on an unsubstantiated anecdote and even IF it were real, real scientists with real brains are gonna figure this out. Not you.
I was gonna make a joke that it's also an idea that's on so many street corners and coffee cups. However after googling I found out that it's a siren on the Starbucks logo and not a mermaid. My joke fails on both humour and fact.
Anyone who thinks this is just a Trump thing is insane. It doesn't end with him. The entire system needs to be purged of this corruption.
Some people say "hack yourself" ... create a TODO list in anyway you like. First thing on that list is to "create a list" and cross that off after you've listed some items.
Keep the items small and doable. Going outside or watch a movie isn't a "big" item but it's worth on this list damnit!
Don't be down on yourself for any reason about doing nothing on the list. If you are, recognize that you did that, forgive yourself for feeling that way and try again. Feel free to throw out items and put even simpler tasks on it, if you can.
Doesn't work for everyone, but it does work for some.
I convinced my parent company like 10 years ago to stop the push to Silverlight. We were a .NET shop so it made certain sense and we were basically writing apps, but I had to tell them that MS was killing it and it was better to stick to web apps.
I think on the third rewatch I noticed that the first line of the diary had a different meaning:
::: spoiler !"We were two young men at the start of a great career. Two young men devoted to an illusion. Two young men who never intended to hurt anyone." :::
I don't think we could have made the progress with smoking in the US now like we did back then. Would have turned into a partisan issue about freedoms and all that.
