I use water to escape the emotional state of feeling dehydrated. and I exercise to escape the emotional state of wishing I was more physically healthy.

just throwing around the "addiction" term like this is extremely damaging to yourself and those who suffer from real addictions

    I've got a problem with articles like this: "The guy who got it right once is betting a second time he's going to get it right". and then the article continues: "Even though he's got it wrong a bunch of times since, he got it right that one time... So this has gotta be his second time!!"

    Do I read this right? You're saying "the right is winning because they're posting clickbait bullshit (technical term here, not just a sloppy swear) consumed in memes or tiktok-style videos"?

    Aren't you terrified that's the life so many (and I think you're putting yourself in this camp as well) are choosing to live?

    Why don't y'all just do this everywhere? I mean, it's not that hard. Just make it a fun tiktok meme and there's bound to be enough trigger-happy Guardsmen to make a point.

    "Why don't you rise up against them?" Well... because that's scary

    "Why don't you do more nonviolent protests?" Well... because that requires us to do something and we'd rather sit on our couch

    Ah. makes sense now
