    Oh, it wasn’t because of the fanatical dedication of the Japanese armed forces that were so dug in it would have taken years and cost thousands of American lives to defeat them, island by island? It was because they didn’t want the Russians to hog all the glory? Never heard that one before



  • One day, try going the whole day on just water. Pick your day carefully so you are free to do nothing if you choose.

    Whenever you get hungry, pause, drink a glass of water, and check in with yourself. Odds are you aren’t that physically hungry, but your mind is going ape shit trying to get you to eat.

    You don’t have to go crazy here, if you start not feeling well, then eat.

    Try that again a few times at your leisure, but aim to actually go a full day at some point.

    The point of that exercise isn’t to lose weight per se, it’s to gain a better understanding of how much of your eating habits are mental/psychological and also to show yourself that you have the ability to go a full day without food, so when a random Tuesday rolls around and you’re slightly peckish, you can grab a banana and get past it rather than going bananas at a Chinese buffet and downloading five thousand empty calories into your gut.

    That is an imperfect approach, but it helps you get to know yourself and provide context for how “hungry” you are when it’s two hours past breakfast and two hours until lunch.

    Obviously don’t do this if you have any kind of medical condition that requires you to eat. I am not a doctor.

    Of course it is, even when the Democratic party has control of the Executive and House they talk about why they can’t do anything, then the Republicans take control and ram through a bunch of shit and the Democratic party points and clucks their tongues at them. It’s been that way since roughly Reagan.



  • I’ve always preferred for people like this to self-identify so we know who they are. Creating a silence where hatred lives has never struck me as a good approach, but I get the argument that allowing hate speech unchecked can cause people to be swayed. On the other hand, it’s always terrific to see people running for office or otherwise aspiring to positions of power being thwarted by the classic surfacing of a picture of them showing their true colors…
