  • You’re saying kids born because abortion wasn’t available are pieces of garbage. What the fuck. think about what you said.

    Since I was down voted into oblivion. I’ll reconsider your statement.

    Deep down Republicans believe that the only reason they’re here is that they weren’t aborted.

    So I guess that’s similar to conservatives thinking that the only way people can act morally is because they read it in a thousand year old book.

    I guess the logic checks out but all I could think about with a gut check was that kids who’s parents wanted to abort them but couldn’t probably ended up in a hostile environment.

    So to any young kids who get into this “I am intelligent therefore depressed.”

    I’ve been there and what I’ve found is that if you are like how I was. I falsely correlated analysis of the universe and the discovery of it’s harshness with how I was feeling and probably erroneously ignored my bias (because I was depressed) to focus on negative realizations.

    It was my caustic family environment, my lack of individual freedom, poor sleep, poor diet that was making me miserable.

    If you’re feeling this way you need to look into Mindfulness and why existence even in its brutally bleak appearance can be an enjoyable quiet morning listening to crickets as you wake up, or being aware of noisy air vent that sounds interesting, or even the curiosities of your own wandering mind.

    Our experience of existence is relative to our framing. Emotional intelligence is learning to side step the current and enjoy observing the river.

    These techno savants are great but if you’ve ever worked with one on a team you realize they traded a lot of things to get that absolute proficiency.

    I like to think about Good Will Hunting when feeling insecure about how “dumb” I am for living a regular life.

    The problem isn’t that I want to be a centrist because I think it’s correct. It’s because this country is going to fucking shit with the deadlock on any kind of cooperation.

    Constantly volleying for further extremes correct or not is why we can’t get a budget approved, why even with the ACA it got stripped to fucking Bits when the next presidency swung around.

    The reality is you want to be bringing in more voters by being more palatable and not pushing them away by drawing a line in the sand for EVERY single issue. No I’m a better liberal! No I’m a better liberal look at me virtue signal.

    It’s fucking exhausting.
