Good question.

As I've been playing with it, it's not real anger

I get the sob trigger and immediately try to bring up anger as an emotion, without a specific target/cause

This is effortful, so I just stop, and it passes

Ymmv though, this may just be how I'm wired.

And yeah, outside of DEI context, it's irrelevant compared to murder unless it's actively contributing to his recklessness and decision-making

I couldn't say, but my BIL has gotten way more reckless as it developed. Proxy murder vs killing your own kids by intentionally DD w them...⚖️🤷‍♀️

extreme social drinkers, and whole fam is going through A Thing with a relative rn...alcoholic endangering his kids who thinks everyone's making a fuss over nothing. Treats rehab like a joke to mollify the family.

I'm short on sympathy for those who embrace the abuse, and Hegseth seems of that set.

I'm torn tbh.

In the context of dismantling diversity efforts to bin every woman and POC, all these fucking assholes with serious disqualifications who act like frat boys make it seem...relevant

But it's the partybro thing more than the addiction itself.

Also I might be biased, grew up around

Wait. Maybe this is novel and surprising *bc* of the robot thing? Others just have a lot more experience with it, so it's second nature?

Once had a friend who said she cried every day; she had an emotional labor job but I never saw her do it in front of others.

I'd totally recruit a friend to filter nice web alerts about me 😆

Well ok, I'd probably figure out how to do sentiment analysis on my own just to avoid *gasp* letting someone do something big for me

I mean, you learn about defense mechanisms, but they're usually said to be unconscious

Doing it on purpose is novel to me

But obvs seems bad to let it become habitual

Yikes, I encouraged my wife to do her brutal 4y even though it suuuuuucks that it feels like we hardly see each other

Not the same since we still cohabitate, but in this scenario we'd do whatever if takes to make it work without killing each others' longstanding dreams

oh no

definitely don't wait and have more now 😏

I'd agree if you were using the word assertion in the sense of logic, rather than idea in the sense of this idiot giving a talk and saying the word in the way most people mean it.

That's why I said "odd" and "unconventional" rather than completely wrong. Just wrong in this context.

I'm saying a simple negation doesn't rise to the level of an 'idea' in the way most people use the word, including how JP seems to be using it there.

I'd also disagree knowing 2+2≠green or happiness or 5 is just as informative as knowing 2+2=4, though it's sometimes "enough" for a given purpose!

I wonder if you can't sail the high seas for an old version....

Jeez what a mess

I'm not read up on that one!

Fuck JP, but that seems like an odd way of looking at it? There are infinitely more wrong answers to 2+2 than right ones; treating mere negations as 'ideas' seems unconventional as they are trivial compared to substantive efforts (whether right, wrong, or indeterminate) to engage with a question.

PE, and also JoAnn management specifically cited Trump tariffs as a major blow since they are so import heavy

Only let Native Americans manage and profit from any of it. Offsets some of the harm and hopefully avoids driving it to unregulated underground.

Please tell me this is a joke poking fun at outlets who signed on
