on a daily basis, the quote of Donald Trump saying a-little-trolling "Israel has hypnotized the world! May Allah awaken the people and help them to see the evil doings of Israel and the United States" goes through my head. What quote is stuck in yours?

There was this huge hullabaloo about Google employees forming a union, but I'm assuming that went nowhere considering how ruthless the company was with it's layoffs. Anyone got the full scoop?

I was cleaning my ears with hydrogen peroxide and some of it is stuck in my ear and it will not go away and it's so fucking annoying. I tried a remedy online of some rubbing alcohol mixed with vinegar and that didn't work.

Any help?

Do you buy them? Will you refuse to buy conventional if organic isn't available, broadly or on a per product basis?

I confess I've always blown off organic foods as kinda silly (unless you've got a sensitivity to whatever's in the conventional stuff) in large part due to overlap with GMO panic. Still, as we hear more about microplastics and harmful chemicals showing up in most everything I've been wondering if it'd be good for my long term health to be an organic andrew

Like every other post is one of mine and, things have been rough, but I feel like I’m sucking the air out of the room and just pissing everyone off. I’ve been trying not to post there—which literally means I’m back to barely eating, and back to experiencing the brain fog and shit that I once naively believed was over. It’s like fucking Flowers for Algernon lol.

I wasn't sure what this lady was talking about about here in a video about Aaron Bushnell: youtu.be/6f8MYAF1L9M?t=1032, but after searching found this: youtu.be/krG2dRS1ITE

Chances they are going to actually try this? What will happen if they do? Will Isn'treal attempt to sink them all with Ansaralah defending them and creating a naval starting flare to WW3?

“Bernie Bro” had that nice alliteration. But maybe you could go with “Uncommies”

Don't think it's the well because the bathroom sink doesn't smell like dirt, just the kitchen. Soaked the faucet head in vinegar for 5 min and it still smells. It's harmless since the water tastes fine and doesn't leave a smell on dishware but it's just weird. Anyone know what might be up? Google says it could be an algae bloom in the well itself.

After January 6, My boss came up to me and said “sorry but I can’t have you working anymore. You’re too white.” I told him I was 5% Cherokee but he said just kept calling me a cracker even though he was also white. While being escorted out by the security (who are now muscular Latina women due to affirmative action), I made eye contact with my boss as he was getting arrested for “anti diversity subversion.”

The Biden Junta decided to take advantage of the new tyrannical fervor from his supporters by unleashing the Swiftie Red Guard onto the population. They’ve been going around smashing important pieces of white culture like Cracker Barrel, confederate statues, and Starbucks. I saw a white woman getting executed for making spaghetti tacos back in 2017.

My wife cheated on me because she was “disgusted” that I have European ancestry even though she immigrated from Germany 5 months ago. I begged her to stay and even offered to sit on a cuck chair but she refused.

My daughter disowned me for being an “oppressor” and banished me and my son to sleep in the shed while she and her friends sing “revolutionary music” like “Blank Space.”

I thought that as long as my son still loved me, I wasn’t truly alone. But he got a DNA test (possibly fraudulent?) that stated he was 95% Russian and 5% Sioux. The Biden regime declared that Russians are not white until 2027, so my son has abandoned me because my ancestry is 95% English.

I’m so alone and lost bros. I can’t even listen to my favorite music to cope because every station is now just Tupac and Taylor Swift. Is it over bros?

This topic came up at work and my coworkers of all genders had no answer. Never met or heard of one.

I don't mean with BetterHelp or some other shit advertised on a podcast. I was looking up some therapists on psychologytoday.com and noticed so many do it online. There are some in person ones near me but they are still like a 35 min drive. I guess my side of the midsized city im in doesnt seem to have much.

active networking is the 10th circle of hell,never in my life have I felt so actively disgusted with myself in a social context. how do you do this without the urge to partiotism or how do you tamp down that urge because oh my god I cannot stomach it, it feels so fucking slimy to do. i can't even do it at events where the sole purpose is networking, my dad pressed me into one and I bailed 15 minutes in after hovering around, it feels so utterly degrading and gross

Some background info: dad got cancer when i was 12, watched him take his last breaths on a hospital bed in the living room, with my mom and sister there. i smoked weed for 18 years but quit last year. I used to have every now and then panic attacks thinking about my existence and what it is and how it will end.

Lately though i've been having all kinds of shit going through my brain. It's unseasonably warm here so i freak out about climate change, ive recently started to be scared of house fires for no reason, and then last night i was on some anxious shit thinking about burglaries. Me and my gf have cats so i get anxious about them if im not at home. I've really become a slight agoraphobe. Was kinda wondering if anyone else had this stuff happening to their brain and what could help it. It's really ramped up the last month or so. I am trying to tell myself that im worried too much about things that probably won't happen but it's hard to trick yourself.

I've been looking up therapists, there's CBT which looks interesting i guess. Part of me just wants a pill to make it all go away.

Would you rather get run over by a steam roller on a cold winter day with a full stomach, or on a hot summer day with an empty stomach?

Without getting into too much detail, I am finally ending a nearly 20 year, very toxic, very abusive marriage.

Recently I have been exploring the idea of turning some things I have bought/been gifted over the years into 'heirlooms' by upcycling/customizing, etc. I plan to write a book about it one day, but want to inspire people to have more meaningful objects in their home. But that's for another time.

Do any of you have an idea of things I could do to repurpose my ring? I wouldn't be opposed to melting it down. I'd love to hear some personal stories of people who have had a similar experience.
