I don’t believe in God, although it’s very nice to have somebody to pray to when you are in a bad situation with no control. Like there is still a way for things to go right because even if you don’t have control, somebody has.


That’s definitely rare. Good for her and her CEO


In Tamil: சோத்துல உப்பு போட்டு தான தின்ற?

Translation: Don’t you add salt to your food?

Context: This is when somebody doesn’t react/listen/change no matter how much they are insulted. The other party asks if they add salt to their food, or if they only eat bland food, and thus have lost all emotions and have become as bland as their food.

It’s a bit difficult to explain, but the general belief is that food reflects your emotions and reactance and moods. Bland food - emotionless, spicy food - easy to anger, etc.



I guess this would be just as addictive once gifs and video work as expected, and we start seeing tons of short videos.




They’re useless if there’s no iPhone nearby. It is pretty useless to even keep tabs on my 7yo when she wants to play in the cul de sac because people stay in their homes and the street is not close enough to the phones inside the houses.


A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy https://a.co/d/7hSGeJF

This is where I started. I didn’t even end up finishing the book, but the concept changed my life.





Sure, feel free! I think some more posts would help break the ice and set the expectations for the kind of posts you would like to see in the community. May be some posts about tips and tricks, annoyances, personal victories, etc. from your experiences. I find it easier to comment than post in a community. (I’m neither a woman nor can run to save my life, so I wouldn’t be able to participate, unfortunately)



Yeah I love some of the posts there. I just can’t put my finger on what exactly would fit the community.



I dreamed that vines were growing out of my legs with eggplants growing on them. I had to painfully rip them out one by one. I woke up to find that my mom had cooked eggplant for breakfast.


Yeah figured there would be a way for corporate greed to fuck over any regulation. Can you think of any amendments to my proposition that would prevent this?


This is the way. I want all places and all businesses to have healthy competitors. Businesses should not be allowed to acquire other businesses unless they have been operating in losses for at least 5 years. That’s how all this monopolistic bullshit will stop.


Yeah Zelda games are the complete package every time. I’ve played half a dozen zelda games with her, and we loved each one of them (except Twilight princess. It was too dark/depressing and we didn’t finish it). She’s 7 now, and she has forgotten a lot of what we played when she was younger. It’s bittersweet, because she doesn’t remember the fun we had, but I get to play the same games with her again.


I was playing this game with my 4 yo daughter, giving her a controller pretending she was controlling the younger brother. We would talk to the characters as if the younger brother was her and the elder brother was me. It was an amazing experience. Then the elder brother dies, and it’s not even a quick thing. There’s a whole big segment of the younger brother carrying the elder brother’s body and burying it. My daughter doesn’t exactly understands what is happening, but keeps getting more and more upset and scared, and keeps asking me why I wouldn’t wake up. That segment fucked me up as I was trying to get through that part while also trying to comfort my daughter.
