From their POV: imagine if it was illegal for you to not buy their shit? They would love that and try to help it however they can

Same track, slower train

They all seem to just be lies dangled over everyone’s heads to keep them working into the grave.

Only if you’re not the one taking them to the desert

I don’t understand why the smart people and educators just don’t give them the horrors they’re wanting and expecting.

YouTube, tiktok, Instagram, facebook & twitter, maybe reddit cover like 90% of people’s attention. The news reposts the biggest things from those platforms; if you use all 6 (you would probably want to find friends that each use those as their primary channel & actually announce things/get engagement) you would be able to disseminate to very broad swathes of the country relatively quickly.

Because its a covering instead of saying underhanded or sneaky or tricking users.

“I didn’t steal, I was just quietly sneaking money from their wallet!”

Maybe that used to be the case but the USA does it different

Insane that that seems to be an impossible bar this decade

I don’t have faith in them anymore. Many people don’t. It’s shameful that they don’t allow a more progressive and less troubled segment of the population gain traction. The fact that the DNC allows the name to be as slandered and unpopular as it has become without changing anything at this point signifies that they will ‘maintain course regardless of the weather’, and maybe it will work, but perhaps it will just result in ‘politics as usual returning’ where trump’s ilk just continues to run circles around them in the media.

True points, but it says something dire that he’s as bad as he is and yet still permitted/successful in his actions.

Well now it just seems like you want him to be a better fascist. Do you lust for blood?

Not true, he’s in league with them since his actions and implemented policies have killed 1M+ citizens as well as all of the other deaths caused by the started & allowed wars he’s overseen

In America money is literally lifeblood: even the homeless still have jobs, but are too poor to afford housing/safety/medical care

They all have a mental disorder of some kind, like narcissism or psychopathy, or similar behavior-driving things going on; they compulsively act the way they do, and they find themselves coming out ahead or winning due to factors being skewed in their favor (born wealthy) or because their environment supports it (if an oil baron is willing to kill like a gangster and it scares business people into working with them, they get contracts/rewards). The same things that give them ‘success’ in the world is also ruinous to their lives/the lives of people exposed to them

It’s either fork and continue the work or start from scratch and hope the pattern doesn’t repeat somehow 🤷

Yes it is. That is what forking is for

What is the ethical fork of hyprland?

“Like what you see? Wanna see me without the shirt? click here!” (Insert crazy long link here after the ai gen preview has already taken up all the available space)

When you are calmer, take time to sit down with your son and apologize for your anger and outbursts. Explain gently to him that you sometimes have bad days just like he does, and that you can get overwhelmed too, but that your anger in those moments doesn’t mean that he is bad or that you don’t love him when he makes mistakes. Take the moment to sit and breathe with him, explain that the way to calm down during and after scary, stressful, angry moments is to find a quiet place, and breathe slowly, about 20-50 times. (Or lookup “box breathing”- in for 4 sec, hold for 4 sec, out in 4 sec, hold for 4 sec. Repeat until you feel more calm/normalized/less stressed. Doesn’t have to be 4, can be 3-5 depending on what feels safe. If it brings up emotions or memories that can happen, focus on breathing to get stable first) Sit there and do it with him. Actually do it yourself too, and let him practice with you; you can turn this from a sad scary incident into a new practice(game, strategy, technique, tool, whatever you want to call it) that helps both of you, and if you make it a habit with your children they will prosper and when you aren’t present (later @ school, outside, teen years etc) they will have this tool that you made for and with them, and they would remember you for your love and care to sit with then now and it can change their trajectory for positive outcomes. It will also help you: if you get stressed you would have the same tool with you to help stabilize yourself, and then you can be more effective at doing everything that you do because you’re more calm.

This is important to do because if you establish a pattern of anger without explaining and apologizing your kids might grow up to not only have their own anger issues but also have a strained relationship with you because they aren’t sure why you get angry. They will interpret it as “mistakes cause anger”, and embody that; they may not take it out on others (they may hit themselves or internally hate themselves instead), but overall the anger issues will persist if you don’t try to acknowledge it.

I had a father who I know loved me, I know he got frustrated with issues when we were growing up. And yet I have a deep-rooted anger that he instilled in me because his response to stress and fear was explosive rage, and the result for children is 1) they blame themselves and 2) they repeat it unless they work on it consciously. He also apologized after being angry, and yet did not work in his anger, wouldn’t work on it with others. I grew to expect empty apologies from him, ultimately I couldn’t trust his words because he didn’t back them with action.

All this is to say you definitely have good reasons to be angry, thats a shitty situation put on you because your wife ignored what you said, then expected you to fix her mistakes/lack on action. I dont know what headway you can make with an adult who may or may not be receptive to your words and voice, but your children are at the age when your voice is their god. Yelling makes an impact: I carry a bellowing, rage-fueled voice in my head everywhere, I have to fight it in myself. I wish my father had the presence of mind and humility to be open to working on it - it’s ok to show vulnerability to your children (if you worry about judgments know that that comes from adults, not young children. The children are sponges just trying to learn how the world works, how to behave, how to handle the scary stressful things. If someone judges you for honestly trying in this way, fuck em; do it anyway!)
