this is really a big part of it. folks who have “pre-monday” dread are dreading something and I feel like we all owe it to ourselves to find a way to work that we don’t dread.

Ikigai, the Japanese philosophy, sums up a good way to try to think about this.

OP if you’re reading this, I feel you, I’ve been thinking about beginnings/endings/time remaining since I was a little kid and its a fuckin curse, frankly.

As a few people have mentioned, mindfullness is a good thing to learn a bit about and to try to “do” basically every day if you can remember.

You dont need to sit listening to a person who’s doing the “spiritually tuned in reassuring relaxing voice” that mindfulness people make the mistake of doing.

If you stop, put your feet firmly on the ground and feel the floor under your feet (rock your weight up to your toes and back to your heels and really feel the solid quality of the ground for just a sec) thats called ‘grounding’ typically, then take one slow (5 secs or so in and another 5 out) diaphagramatic breath (breathe down and into your belly, not the chest, your belly button should go out instead of your breastbone) and thats it. you’ll now remember whatever youre looking at the next day instead of just going through the motions of your weekend free time.

things end and death is coming for all of us, but not now, and thats worth checking in to

yep.

you just outgrew it. same shit, different words of the day

yes…why cant dials

we have a decent quality induction range and electric stove and we’d never bother considering to go back to gas

when is the last time you were in Germany and spoke in English to someone under 30?

so you asked the word confetti bot

hah! fun.

yes, I find the christians are pretty good at taking things over. so it makes sense they inserted themselves into the fiestas to control them.

like the winter solstice jesus’ birthday summer solstice the feast of st jean the babtist, spring equinox jesus’ resurrection, samhain/harvest all hallowed’s eve, birth baptism, love church wedding, death funeral mass,

my point is you dont need to be trying to tuck your shit to convince the tsa that you’re a chick bro.

just shave that shit bro.

i havent shaved my garbage for a good long while. as ive gotten older, the ball hair has increased in density, it might be refreshing to go cue-ball.

i had a friend (had, as he doesnt talk to me anymore cause he needed to borrow €100 and is always broke so will prolly never pay it back) who was a big evangelist for shaving your shit. he was a bit of a locker room pervert… anyway he said one time he was shearing his nuts and sliced off like a 2mm section of scrotum skin (not all the way to the vas defferens or anything, just deep into the layers of skin), and he said the blood came out like a ruby red fire suppression sprinkler and he couldnt get it to stop

any example of a catholic thing you thought was just america

yeah for sure, thats what I meant when I typed “social gain”

anyone who decides to become catholic is doing it for social gain or deeply hates themselves.

catholicism is built on the foundation of “you’re guilty, you’re born guilty.”

what in the fuck would shaving change? you wanna go buffalo bill at the airport knock yourself out, but you dont need an excuse to shave your junk, wild man

i am that idiot <3

where are you? Im in Ireland and use eBay all the time, and when there’s been a problem it’s always been rectified

utter classic

sure

fair enough.

honestly if i had my way i’d still use windows 98 and AI would have never been developed. same with facebook.

why did you go w only office instead of LibreOffice?
