Yeah cant believe I had to scroll this far down.

Weed is like putting a sticker over the check engine light. It hides the issue/anxiety temporarily but by doing that consistently without dealing with the underlying issues the problem only gets worse.

Something I do every work day is go to a patch of grass, put on calming music and just stare at the sky and clouds. Let your mind wander, it may bring up bad thoughts and feelings but its better to understand how your mind works. Dont look at your phone either, just disconnect and watch the world go by.

I often think about early humans and their lives. Previously our ancestors had time to reflect and process thoughts, feelings and emotions. That is lost in our technological world and our obsession with consumption and distraction.

These exposures and patterns are relatively new to the human mind. Develop behaviours that allow you to cope with the external stimulus

Noooooooo

I was so excited for another Tron movie.

Bibi is such an odd nickname for a ruthless, genocidal arsehole

Liberals have been in power most of the last 2 decades. They only spout this bullshit in opposition.

Nuclear was the way to go 20+yrs ago.

Simple things are going backwards but in a few hundred years Starbucks is gonna start giving handjobs. So thats kinda nice

That was a wild read. We all know he is a Bullshitter though so who knows what will happen. America is on a wild ride. The rest of the world watches on as an empire slowly degrades pulling us down with them

It helps me avoid my own echo chamber.

Its interesting to have my views questioned and critcised. It also helps me understand the reasoning of people I don’t agree with. How they formed their ideas and why they believe their view is superior to mine.

It’s ok, but there are pushes to become more privatised. Because basically no one fucking wants that except greedy corporations and insurance companies along with conservative politicians that don’t like big government but love sucking big companies with the hope they get a taste of money or power

Wow, Lemmy is so different. On reddit or other platforms any hint of Israel criticism and you would be vilified and downvoted..

Completely blocking any rational discussion. This level of discussion helps digest the complexity of the situation.

Ouch, hope this is not real. The cringe is real

Fuck those poor people… until whoops too many average Australians required covid benefits and everyone realised the amounts offered were not sustainable for living…

We forgot about that so back to demonising the poor.

How about instead we properly tax the super profits of big business. Then there is lots of money for the projects and people that enrich our society and lives

Well yeah… in lots of ways.

Good in others, as an Australian who traveled there the average American is great. I just think you’ve been intentionally fragmented and manipulated. So there are large groups of people who want their country to change but cannot seem to find common ground and band together to strengthen those ideas.

Then you have such powerfully rich and crazy groups that seem to be able to rule the narrative
