And I suppose that NPR and CNN are "fair and balanced...." I guess its all a matter of perspective, but here we literally listen to NPR as a comedy station. As in, WHAT PLANET do these folks live on???? So much of what is presented seems totally nuts. There's no shortage of big money funding the Left. George Soros, Bill Gates, the Walton family.... If they support the "climate" agenda in any way - leftist. If they support "gun control" in any way - leftist. If they support UNESCO, anything else from the UN, electric vehicles, vaccination, funding public universities, etc.... you get the picture. There's a heck of a lot of leftism going on if you just listen for the buzzwords on radio and tv. And it seems like a large portion of big corporations are using those words. What was the original idea of Fascism? Corporations working hand-in-hand with a government that controls basically everything. Doesn't seem too different from what is going on today, except that we have two parties involved. -

The only reason I tried Tetris, was some of my younger kids had a gameboy I had younger coworkers playing packman when we took breaks at convenience stores. I never could get into it. I do remember the old pinball machines in the gas stations though -

Everybody used to live that way, but not everybody is adapted to every climate. I would be fine living like that, really. My GF... well she'd be alive but I'm not sure about everybody around her. If the house isn't super cold, she becomes difficult to deal with. And the hotter it is outside, the colder she wants it inside. Even the light bothers her, so she prefers areas without windows. She'll work outdoors on projects, but when she's done sometimes she's bleeding from the corners of her eyes. Her normal body temperature is also really cold. For her, 95.7 to 96.2 is normal, and sometimes in the winter she can be as low as 92 while still appearing normal. Arctic creature, I guess... Me, I'm fine with lower temperatures as long as I'm active. But when I sleep, I get cold easily. -

You whippersnapper, you! I remember playing Pong. Tetris is about the newest computer game I've played. -

I recently realized I share a birthday with two characters in my favorite show! Kirishima and Tetsutetsu, both which are guys who comment on things being manly (not in a toxic masculinity type way? They'll call basically anything they find positive "manly"). Kirishima especially is considered a poster boy for positive masculinity, and Tetsutetsu serves as comedy in being very similar to Kirishima in almost every way. I guess that makes October 16th the manliest birthday lol I find gender affirmation in the strangest places 💀 -

Short answer, yes. Not easy!! And the "overcome" part is a continuous work in progress. A story is told: Say you're lost in the woods on a moonless night. It's so dark you cannot even see your hand on front of your face. What do you do? Pick a direction and start walking. You may be on the path out of the woods or you may be going deeper into the woods - you don't know and for some time there's no way to tell the difference. But you keep going. After some time, you begin to see a glimmer of light, not much but just enough to contrast with the previous deep darkness. But it's enough to encourage you that you're going the right way to escape being lost in the dark wilderness. It's an allegory for the spiritual path. Or if you're not spiritual, call it the path to metal health. For a long time you simply go through the motions and do your best to keep up the forward momentum. You don't perceive yourself as making any progress - it all seems the same. But you practice and develop strength and keep going. Then you begin to notice small differences. You're not as reactive as you used to be. You still have nightmares, but somehow you have more agency in them. There are moments where you experience peace of mind. Trust is probably the #1 biggest issue for people who've experienced trauma. Certainly it has been for me. Trusting love is real - that's major. But I've found that trust in love is not developed via relationships with others, but rather by learning about yourself and how to feel self-secure. And that is not a matter of autonomy, but rather gaining insight into who you are, essentially. Who you are is indomitable and adorable. You come to believe that in a profound way (not in an egotistical way) and you feel safe anywhere and in all circumstances. You have a feeling of communion and goodwill with all. You are not attached or affected by the actions of others, but are profoundly self-assured in unconditional love for yourself and all. Easily said, but that potential lies in all. It requires guidance, will, discipline, grace, and patience. -

Yeah. I'm a short ways out of town here. Hay field across the road. Pasture on 2 sides in back, and lots of trees in my yard - back yard is basically a small woods. I'm a bit of a tree hugger. -

There was no such thing when I was growing up. Some of my kids played them though, but only the younger ones. We didn't have a computer for the oldest ones. About the only game I've ever played was Tetris, and that was on one of those old gameboy things. I still have little interest in them. My ex did do something for awhile, animal crossing I think. -

I remember living that way. My parents didn’t get an air conditioner until the mid 1970s, just before I moved out. Their house was built to utilize cross winds or fans to keep air moving. In those days it was very important to keep the screens in order so the mosquitoes 🦟 out. Flies were dealt with by using fly traps. You do get acclimated to the hot or cold weather in those situations. Hugs, Mindy🌈🐛🏳️⚧️🦋
