Wishing the best for any cancerous/precancerous cells in Brendan Carr's colon.

Chan/Zen to be specific. Honestly there's a lot of crazy shit out there calling itself Buddhism, but starting with philosophy heavy texts is probably the best way to distill those practices and ideals.

We can only hope this helps kill the fad. I know companies won't be taking any realistic lesson from this, but at least this can force them to abandon a lot of this crap.

I find more comfort in the real and tangible human experience. Most of us are caring and social creatures if we let ourselves be.

I think that framework encourages people to become compassionate and kind because they know it's all we have.

At its best, religion adds a layer of coping which is not based in any reality. At its worst, it sets people on a path for alienation and seeing themselves and/or others as less than human (depending on the neuroses and likely trauma).

Dealing with no easy answers throughout your life can bring you to many existential questions and even depression at times but, as long as you have the strength/support/self care to keep and adapt your sense of self, you will be stronger for that introspection.

I choose growth.

I feel like this is a reasonable response. Early childhood is an easier time to regulate sugar intake and definitely developmentally crucial so you don't want any extra unhealthy foods complicating things.

I was raised similarly and have a pretty healthy relationship with sugar today. I just always worried about the kids whose parents freaked out about them having a soda at a birthday party when they were like 8 or something. I understand policing sugar up to maybe grade school, but past that definitely has a negative effect emotionally and can lead to kids bingeing when they're cut loose.

They will never see prison or justice until the common people take back the power to put them there. This is their plan. Same shit, different venue. Financial, wage, privacy, surveillance, due process, and enforcement violations/transgressions/iniquities, all, point in the same direction.

Basically, "It's a big club, and you ain't in it." Can only change through direct and persistent opposition and action against bad faith actors.

*Racism whipped up to distract us from class warfare.

Honestly you could say that about any of the centuries involving the US.

By no means am I a Biden stan, but the inflation reduction act was a massive step in the right direction coming off of the previous presidency. One which was immediately reversed after 2024.

How about, and hear me out here... How about, we jettison Ryan Cohen into the sun.

Genuinely, two out of the three GameStops near me just closed for good. How is that the sign of a company that could manage a hostile takeover of a major industry player from the dotcom era?

Edit: apostrophe on mobile
