Hezbollah has said Nasrallah wasn’t hurt. So Israel just carpet bombed a densely-packed neighborhood full of civilians and didn’t even get the guy they were “targeting.”

I have ADHD, autism, and major depression, and meditation has been a fairly powerful tool for me (when I can will myself to use it) when it comes to straightening out my thoughts so my brain isn’t a big bowl of stressful spaghetti.

What’s worked for me is just allowing the thoughts to race, but not allow myself to interact with them. Eventually, they’ll run their course and settle down.

In practice, it kind of looks like this: I’ll focus on my breathing, but I won’t worry too much about quieting my mind. I only meditate when I’m extremely distraught about something. So naturally, the worries will rise to the surface and try to take over. While I’m focusing on breathing and settling down, the thoughts will come. Money issues, loneliness, responsibilities I’m avoiding, depression, dissatisfaction, etc. I’ll allow the thoughts to come into the forefront, and I’ll “look” at them. I’ll acknowledge them, I’ll allow them their space. But I won’t let myself to bring them into focus and give them any type of thought. I won’t engage with them. I’ll just…let them be. Objectively. Once I observe the thought, it’ll usually pass by and make room for the next stressful worry to show up.

EVENTUALLY, the majority of the things that are bothering me will have made an appearance. I’ll observe each one, and let it pass by. After years of practice, I’ve learned that the thoughts and worries will run their course and I’ll finally have the space to truly focus on my breathing and decompress. After all is said and done, I’m usually left with relatively organized thoughts and I am able to think clearly, without everything swimming around in my head, simultaneously trying to scream at me.

Civil protection officials said they believe the ship was struck by a tornado over the water, known as a waterspout, and sank quickly.

Big ups to my homie, God, for specifically targeting this guy.

Gone Home, Cassette Beasts, Breath of the Wild, and Red Dead Redemption are my favorites.

(me too lol)

The Pinocchios line comes from a WaPo writer who would rate how misleading a statement was by rewarding it 1-4 Pinocchios lol. The less factual a statement was, the more Pinocchios it would receive. I think the guys on Chapo parody that sometimes.

That’s really blowing my mind lol.

(Okay, so it’s based on a story that was serialized in 1909, so…it’s kind of old?)

Was it seriously? I thought it was like, from the 1700s (I know next to nothing about Phantom of the Opera).

While the drivers were inside the rally, tow trucks showed up and began hooking up vehicles.

“The managers inside promised that they could park here,” Zander DeSoto said. “Some of the people here even gave money to the people inside.”

This is so fucking funny hahaha

“The Democrats” to me implies all, but I can see how this would have been a misunderstanding.

This kind of reminds me of when someone says, “not all men” in response to criticism of “men” as a whole in feminist or women-centered spaces. (For example: “Not all men are paid more than women.” Like, no, not every literal man receives higher pay than women, but it’s common enough that it’s a systemic issue).

Let me disclaim that I’m not saying that you would have that same kind of reaction to that statement, just that it’s unnecessarily splitting hairs and kind of missing the point of the original argument. The statement that “The Dems” gave Bibi a standing ovation is factually true, and is indicative of the general opinion and behavior of the Democratic party as supporters and enablers of Israel’s atrocities.

I’m autistic too, and it sucks that we tend to interpret things literally and can sometimes miss the intended subtext when someone makes a statement. Hope what I’m saying makes sense and doesn’t come across as criticism!

The speed and accuracy of Chinese table tennis players blows my mind. Those matches are wild af.

I honestly couldn’t tell you. I feel like the only notable American names I’m familiar with are the Williams sisters. Everyone else I know is Italian, French, Spanish, or Russian.

I found another video on Youtube about Tate and this girl from 11 months ago by a channel called MilkBarTV. I don’t really feel comfortable posting it, because it includes a (censored) screenshot of the two of them nude in a sex act.

In the video, Tate is giving an interview and claims Vivian (the girl in the video) is 21 and they had been together for 6 years…making her 15 years old when they first started dating…yeahhh…

The age of consent in her home country of Slovakia is 15 (not that this isn’t still morally disgusting). But then he said that he flew her out to England to stay with him to continue filming content. That’s like, legitimate pedo shit that he’s admitting to.

It’s a classic weasel heel bit to talk a big game and then slink away from a match when the opponent shows they want the smoke. “You actually thought I would give you a match against me on cable TV? Here in Trailer Trash Town, Tennessee?? Naw, these people don’t deserve to see that!”

Damn, stay safe, comrade!

Wtf, I’ve never seen that kind of emergency alert before.

It’s wild how fast 4 years went by. I had just discovered /r/cth maybe 4-5 months before it was banned, but it quickly became my favorite online space and was pretty instrumental in me getting exposed to leftist politics.

I was bummed when it was banned, so I was super eager for whatever came from the remnants. I joined chapo chat maybe 2-3 days after it launched, and it’s been a cool place ever since. I haven’t been as active as I used to be, but I still like to come back from time. I’m glad to see the site is still going strong, and federation finally happened.

I decided to check back in and the reddit OP deleted their post lmao.
