I get it lol. Me and two of my friends were having debates over the us election a year back. It sucked. Honestly, I'm finding myself comfortable in neutral. Why can't we just agree on something. We should just try and make the world a better place, not seek to elevate ourselves into some presidential position or say our political party is the best.

Anyhow, I hate politics.

I love politics, cuz I like knowing what’s going on and I also like arguing, but so many aspects just make me so mad, or so sad, or so indignant. I very occasionally cry over the state of the country. It’s really upsetting how divided we are, and how unwilling to look at the other perspective. It’s also ridiculous the lengths people will go to just for a little power! I really, really wish we could get over this, but it takes everyone, and some people just… won’t.

Here's how I see it:

Politics is cool.

Modern arguments are not politics.

(I'm a bit of a Plato fan)

This Joshua Weissman Mac and Cheese recipe is amazing and surprisingly easy. There's 3 in that video, I made the first one and it was great, even though I had to do a bunch of weird substitutions. I scooped spreadable butter out of the container because I didn't have any sticks of butter, I only used one type of cheese, I used skim milk instead of whole milk, and I just completely skipped the Crème fraîche. And it was still really good. 

HAHA-
I hope to watch the first episode today!

I'm going to see it! Eventually! not soon probably

Woah 

Y'know...

Maybe it's so absolutely atrocious that it is the best thing we've ever seen

That's insane! I have the same thoughts as Symph. 

No that’s literally the best the thing ever. I sure wish that cat trend was still around…

*boop*

Wow! I’m so happy for you!

Sounds about right XD.

Congrats! That's so cool. 

i really dislike it when people don’t understand perfectionism.

like, it isn’t always “person who has tons of motivation and spends a ton of time making this thing *just* right”

wayyyyyy more often than not it’s:

”I know that if I try to make this thing, it won’t be perfect, so I simply won’t try.”

which definitely sounds bad, right? but when you realize that it doesn’t just apply to voluntarily making art, then you realize how perfectionism is not at all a good thing in any context. 

“i know that if I try to work on this assignment right now, it won’t be good enough, so i’ll wait until the last possible moment so that I have something forcing me to do it.”

”i know that I should start going to the gym, but I won’t see any improvement right away, so I just won’t.”

”i know that i should brush my teeth tonight, but that won’t be good enough to undo the fact that i haven’t brushed them 4 days in a row, so I just won’t.”

perfectionism isn’t the uncontrollable impulse to make things “just right”.. (although it can occasionally manifest as this.)

perfectionism is the absolute, psychological inability to accept the concept of “good enough”. even when you spell it out for yourself like this.

… Oof.

Really really strong painkiller that is used in hospitals
supposedly gives you a pretty good high, hospitals have to screen patients to make sure they aren't faking their pain to try and get access to morphine. 

quote from WebMD:
"The most common way people describe the high from morphine is a feeling of utter euphoria, a joy exceeding any other experience they have had in life. They may also describe feelings of being protected, warm, and safe"

and your body can just like
do that on it's own
if you workout

related tip:
My weight lifting coach from a while back gave this good advice. Don't do cardio for your physical health. Too much cardio can cause your body to eat away at its protein stores (ie your muscles) for energy (not good), and not enough cardio won't have enough of an effect on your overall health. Do weight lifting for your physical health, and do mild amounts of cardio for your mental health. Cardio is the best exercise to get endorphins flowing. 

In Cross Country we do weight lifting two or three times a week, yeah. Makes sense.

Morphine was used on the field in WWII right? If I remember correctly, it was potent enough that more than two doses was lethal.

And yes, the music slaps.

yes! thank you! someone gets it!

i still need to finish it lol
i don’t have funimation myself so i haven’t been able to watch it without my friend

if it is on netflix like you say, that’d be awesome
ill check later 

I still need to finish it myself lol, I've been watching one arc at a time (three episodes or so). I think I only have one left, though.

I think that if even if Bob was alive, if he was convicted of said crime and in prison, he would not benefit from me consuming his product, which in this case will be music. Also, I don’t pay for my songs individually, so the money I do pay goes to a larger company that already payed Bob for the rights to his song. Basically, if you have a Spotify unlimited account, an Apple Music account, or any other monthly music streaming service, your consumption of his music wouldn’t benefit him, even if he was alive and still in a business situation. Overall, I think that if you enjoy this band’s music, then there’s nothing wrong with listening to it. Even if you are paying this band, including the member who you’re questioning, you’re not encouraging them to do more bad stuff, and likely they will receive justice if these claims are confirmed. So that was kind of off topic, sorry, but what I’m saying is that I don’t think it’s morally wrong to listen to music or consume a product that has been produced by somebody with a criminal record.

I think I would still use Bob's product, but I would make sure that none of Bob's products promote or talk about any bad thing that Bob did. 

What I have decided myself is that if that media isn't doing that thing or saying you should do that thing or has anything that you would find objectionable I'd go ahead and do it. My mom is like completely the opposite way on it and is like, "well, no, they did bad stuff, no watch what they did." (in a nutshell).
