Here’s the line. It’s draining. He says he cares.
It looks something like
“I know you’re saying you’re fine, and that may be. But to me it seems like you’re angry, and it’s draining. I’m asking you to find an outlet to open up, because while I love spending time with you, I don’t love spending time with you when youre like this. I am here for you, but I can’t be here for this.”
Or something
The maladaptive:
Smoking weed, drinking beer, scrolling on my phone
The neutral:
Videogames, playing music, self hosting tinkering
The adaptive:
EXERCISE, Videogames when not passive, playing music when not passive, educating myself about tech stuff that interests me.
When you focus on maladaptive coping mechanisms, you’ll decrease your window of tolerance of discomfort and you’ll find life generally more difficult. When you focus on adaptive coping mechanisms, you are actively widening your window of tolerance for discomfort.
It’s ok to numb out and go maladaptive from time to time, but be weary that it can make things harder in the long run. Don’t dwell too much on the maladaptive and make room for adaptive coping lest you nearly run out of room to cope at all.
Probably my most well established takeaway from over a decade of therapy. There can be a fine line between adaptive and maladaptive coping. Intention can make all the difference.
I wish this image could be appreciated for the immeasurable cringe and potential comedy it can deliver. But it’s genuinely horrifying.
I want things to be funny again.
The toilet paper I usually get went from $35 to $55 for a case.
Just the one variety though. They had a similar variety still at $35. For now.
I genuinely think COVID made his brain dumber.
Yeah
Reddit and similar like Lemmy are full of smart dumb people. Like you can tell them why they’re wrong and they’ll respond explaining why thet weren’t even when they were. They’re smart enough to justify their own stupidity.
They’re the same people that respond when you were sure the conversation was over.

Is it Taco Tuesday or War Crimes Wednesday?
Who leaked it?
Brother, the most likely suspect is you.
If the billionaires enabling this shit don’t rot in cells, it will keep happening.
I framed mine
Didn’t he say that 72 hours ago?
This song…
Eyedea & Abilities - A Murder Of Memories
When the album came out he was 19.
It blows my mind, first, that a kid so young can have such a well formed, articulated, and ability to show artistically his understanding of the horror of war.
It eludes me that grown ass men can’t fathom it til it’s within arms reach
Uhhh
Go read British history.
America is just the asshole today.
I dont think anyone but the west ever thought the west had the moral high ground. I don’t even think the west thought it.
Ah, he tried xanax.
MAGA won’t let Vance shit in their mouths. That’s how.
MAGA dies with trump. It isn’t a movement that moves without him. It’s about him. It’s not a brand. It’s narcissism personified.
He even said so himself. “They’re not MAGA, I am.” -Donald J. Trump.
Honestly they can’t know that and that’s what makes it so embarrassing. They think they were chosen to be on some winning team of some zero sum game, and they’re sold.
It’s also what makes it delicious.
But make no mistake, she will be replaced by a white man who makes less waves and does more damage.
Except maga dies with trump because maga is narcissism personified.
