    Yeah, that’s like the child throwing a temper tantrum because they don’t want to clean the room. That doesn’t actually solve anything. Unless you’re going to start rolling heads and starting an actual violent revolution, you’re not doing anything. And instead you’re just making it more difficult for the rest of us to keep shit together.

    The lawyers of one of the options are literally arguing in court that presidential immunity means he could carry out an assignation of their political opponent and be immune as long as his party has enough power to avoid an impeachment conviction.

    Going with the flow is such an important skill that more parents need to put more of a focus in teaching. It’s all about making sure that your response is a realistic way of attaining your goal in the situation.

    If I’m talking to someone else and trying to help them through a situation like they say, ask them to think for a minute if getting angry will do anything at all to help the situation they find themselves in.

    “You are absolutely right to be upset about this situation, and if you need to take a minute to feel that rage, go right ahead. Once you’re ready though, let’s take a deep breath, remember that we can’t change what’s already happened and instead be strategic and intentional about what we do from here to correct for what just happened”

    Being able to gain control of yourself is a skill that requires practice. Intrusive thoughts and feelings and emotions happen to everyone, the trick is just recognizing when it’s happening. When you recognize that it’s happening, take a deep breath and shake it off. For me that means just slowing down and being much more methodical and intentional about anything that I say or do until that fight or flight mode response disengages. Be conscious of the fact that my reflexes cannot be trusted when I am in fight or flight mode.

    Simply have the pages blank as possible, and use a pseudonym. Shit posting Is it going to do anything to make data less desirable. Just follow all of the typical advice for staying anonymous on the internet.

    Also, insist on only using the secret message feature of Facebook Messenger. Those messages are and to end encrypted and at least if you believe facebook, not even Facebook can access them.

    Check your actual uptime in the system, because oftentimes just because your computer has visibly shut down, doesn’t mean that the system has actually shut down. Oftentimes it just goes into hibernation instead, Which doesn’t reset your uptime.

    Edit: before you down vote me, have some extra context. Microsoft changed the default behavior for Windows 10 and 11, when you click shut down in your start menu It will do this deep hibernation instead of actually shutting down. They save state your operating system effectively, and then shut down, and then when it boots back up it restores that save state. They’ve done this in an attempt to speed up boot times for most people. All of your things that run on first boot don’t actually have to rerun if you’re not booting all the way from scratch. If you’re just restoring the state from before the shutdown, it’s like you never shut down at all. This means that your uptime often doesn’t get reset unless you actually do a restart.
