In a way, it's good that her trajectory is instructive to the people who were rooting for her.

I think if I know I'm gonna die and I've still got my marbles I'm gonna run up a whole lot of credit card debt and maybe do some things that merit more jail time than I'm gonna live.

Travolta and Cleese. Would be my answer on who to not save.

I've been dealing with it a long time. I've noticed that it gets out of control with caffeine, when I'm overstimulated, when I'm depressed, or when the activity I'm supposed to be doing is boring. So I quit caffeine. I practice mindfulness meditation and that can calm down the overstimulation, letting idle thoughts take over my head, and depression. I went on antidepressants. I can sort of hack my brain to convince myself that I actually am interested in doing the incredibly boring job.

I had a coworker tell me that I have a laser-like focus on everything but programming (my job). Now I got laid off a few months ago and I have a truly laser-like focus on the next step of my life. I have absolutely no problem working for myself. I'm motivated as fuck. I'm moving to a lower cost of living area and living a lower pressure life, inshallah. As a kid, and especially in my 20s, the whole time, my whole life has been learning to suck it up, ignore the cold hard fact that I hate it, and do the thing. I'm now trying to build a life and do what my dad does, live as cheaply as possible and talk to no one. I tell people you can't wait for motivation, you just gotta do the thing, but you can't ignore your feelings either. And I was never that aware of my feelings but I guess I totally hated it the whole time.

Are they afraid of having any remaining liberal-leaning justices?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago

I definitely shed my last vestiges of liberalism by the end of the Mueller investigation, when they decided after all that time that they weren't going to prosecute him anyway because he was the president.
