There's certainly an argument to be had there. Circumcision comes with permanent changes to sexual functioning

No son of mine is going to drink "La Croix!"

Anyone who quits does so at their own risk. There's no appropriation to pay for this plan

What solutions do you recommend

The good news is you're already on your way to making a change in yourself. You're aware of what's happening and how it's affecting you, and you want to change. The next step is to make a plan, and then comes implementing that plan. There unfortunately isn't going to be a switch you can flip to change overnight, it's going to take time and effort, but you can absolutely do it.

I'm going to speak from my experience, because I used to have really bad anxiety and anger, both of which caused me problems, but they're all but gone now. I also likely have ADHD, though undiagnosed.

I cannot overstate how impactful mindfulness meditation has been on my life. Did you know you can actually tell your brain what to focus on rather than your brain deciding for you automatically? I sure as hell did not know that was a thing. I just happened to stumble into a meditation group that met weekly.

At first, I have to say I was scornful of the experience. While I was there, my internal dialogue went "this is stupid," "can they hear me breathing too loud?," "that sound outside the room is annoying," etc. etc. Over time, with much practice, I realized I learned to recognize each of those thoughts when they were happening, and then was able to let the thought go and refocus my attention to whatever we were doing.

Sometimes it was a guided meditation, sometimes chanting or breathwork, sometimes silence, sometimes chakras. At all points, I found my mind wandering or judging, because that's what minds do. I noticed that, let it go, then refocused my attention on the meditation. That act of noticing, letting go, and refocusing is literally exercising your attention. It's like lifting weights in your brain. I did this for several years weekly and came out a happier, more content person on the other end.

Meditation is something you can practice alone in your room, but you're going to get more benefit from doing it with others. Take a look around to see if there are any meet ups in your area, or even see if you can find a virtual meditation group.

Lastly, not everyone is going to be able to make change on their own. Some may need a bit of help, which is great because there are some great therapists out there. DBT, RODBT, and CBT all might be useful for you. If you're interested, maybe look into group therapy or intensive outpatient programs near you. Of note, mindfulness skills are one of the 4 core tenants of DBT, so you just can't escape mindfulness.

Good luck my friend, don't hesitate to reach out!

She gave us Dr. Oz, too.

If the Trump Admin agreed not to transport people in handcuffs, that wouldn't be a capitulation, but rather what Petro wanted. Remember the Trump Admin is going to spin literally every outcome as "a victory" while talking shit about the other guy, regardless of the reality of any negotiation outcome.

There are plenty old movies I have seen or would love to see, but very few of those were made before 1940, and 1940 won't reach public domain for another 15 years.

Petro has very sane demands here...he will only receive them on civilian planes being treated with respect, and is turning away military planes carrying people in chains.

I suppose I'm no expert on this specific conflict, but wasn't it to stop the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, and ended up being an almost universally acclaimed, highly effective, brief intervention that achieved its clearly defined goals?

I wasn't old enough to remember the politics at that time, but I do remember George W.'s invasion of Iraq in 2003, and protested in the streets. That conflict seemed to have no plan or goals besides making money for defense contractors. That conflict squandered any goodwill the US had left on the world stage. I still view it as the beginning of the end of American hegemony.

The Act permits the President to grant a one-time extension of no more than 90 days with respect to the prohibitions’ 270-day effective date if the President makes certain certifications to Congress regarding progress toward a qualified divestiture.

If Oracle and Microsoft, or basically any other western entity, purchase Tiktok from ByteDance, then this law will no longer apply. The law only applies due to ByteDance being a Chinese-based company

That's a big leap from "235 men who were originally recruited as Harvard University students between 1939 and 1942" to "all men."
