And this is a massive increase in authority for the courts. If there is ambiguity in the wording of a law, it’s open for a lawsuit.

That’s why there’s been no reboot or sequel. We’re only just now catching up to the futuristic levels of depravity he foresaw.
In my state, ballot initiatives to change to ranked choice or approval voting, ideally with expanded multiple winner districts.
My favorite baseball player is Mike Truck.
It would be more bearable if they didn’t all high five.
And if they hear this information, they may stare blankly, refuse to take in the new information, then respond with a thought-terminating cliche like “God only made two genders.”

I found it compelling to watch, but not exciting. Kind of in the same way Mr Rogers and Bob Ross held my attention without much happening. Something very real about it.

I love it. I’m a big fan of combining ranked choice with multi-member districts. Our current voting system is the absolute worst option for consensus.
This opens the field to candidates outside of the two parties and allows the existing parties to field multiple candidates. With multiple candidates from a party, you improve the quality of candidates. Compromise in governance becomes attractive again and not a death sentence.
Right now, the best strategy for a Republican is to be the absolute farthest right that the moderates would still vote for in order to keep a Democrat from winning.
The countries with declining birthrates have also seen the destruction of their wetlands. The connection is so clear.
I’ve been impressed by her ability to actually get things done. She’s been getting community programs funded in her district that accomplish Green New Deal goals but doing it silently without attaching Green New Deal wording anywhere. She got other representatives running similar programs in the same way. I respect someone who is willing to speak up but also believes in their mission enough to do it quietly if that’s what it takes.
I can get on a bike and ride to Oklahoma or Missouri from my house, but I can’t fathom saying “you guys.”
Imagine living in Arkansas and trying to claim you are a Midwesterner with a straight face.
This is the waterpark I want to go to this summer.

Imagine for a moment that you are president of the United States and you are given an intelligence briefing with information that is vital to an allied nation’s safety. Under no circumstances are you to share this information with anyone. You are then in a candid two-hour conversation with a jovial diplomat from a nation hostile to that other nation. If you didn’t keep your wits about you, you might accidentally discuss the secret information.
Donald Trump is not a man who has ever had his wits about him.
Most bees are daughters
See both a psychiatrist and a therapist. Therapy like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can give you some strategies that will help you recognize how you are feeling and give you some distance from your thoughts. For a rough example: Instead of just feeling like you’re failing, you might say, “I am having the thought that I am failing,” and that little bit of distance gives you the space to ask where the thought is coming from. You may then be able to refute it or accept it as the way you feel right now, but not necessarily who you are.
Psychiatry can help you identify if a medication may be a good option for you and what route to take with it. This will likely be a few months of trying different doses and different medications while you may journal to track the quality of your days.
If you find yourself having even brief, passive, non-planning suicidal or violent thoughts, get with a professional. They’re good at that stuff.
Once the major stuff is taken care of, it’s much easier to work on the normal things like daily exercise, nutrition, and social connections.
