Temporarily silences our own inner critic as well

Needed to hear that. Thanks

Every story has already been written and yet people still continue to write and read, so write without fear and without judgment and someday someone will thank you for it, because for every book there is a reader who will love it no matter how good or bad the book is

Struggling hard and very much needed this. Thank you 🙏🏼

In this economy? Yes, sir, it is.

This is not exactly living within your means tbh

This legit just made me tear up. I've always put aside my own depression to help other people.

I did too. Feels good!

Yeah, well, y’know that’s just like, your opinion, man.

You know that’s a good one but no matter how much euros you have, you can’t buy anything in the US with that.

Thank you for this. I really needed to say this to my kid today.

u/solamara for you fam 🫰

thank you 🫶🏻

Okay. I agree with that. I thought you were going to be a socialist.

Always find it funny when socialists get mad we bail out banks and stuff... I'm like, wait a minute, that was YOUR ALLs idea lmao..

Capitalism is about letting banks die when they... Die. Socialism is about the public ownership of losses (they just want profits too).

And then I hear "well this is the result of capitalism". Yeah. Carl Mark said that capitalist societies go socialist. So aren't we agreeing that we don't want to go socialist? These safety nets of bailing people out cost US, the taxpayers. Laugh my ass off.

Yeah people don't understand that rich people don't take an income so they don't pay tax. It's not that they're doing loopholes it's that they literally don't have an income. So people can spout off about how angry they are but it really does nothing. We have to go back to the drawing board on taxation to include rich people. The ignorance is frustrating. I just want people to first learn that what rich people do is take out consecutive loans unendingly, BECAUSE they have growing capital for collateral.

Break up the massive corporations, restore the anti-trust laws that presided over the most prosperous and fairest decades, hunt down and close the tax loopholes and set a tax rate that ensures the rich pay their fair share (and not, for example, less than I do), set extremely strict political donation limits and campaign spending limits to get the money out of politics, cut corporate welfare and support small businesses instead, establish a single-payer healthcare system to negotiate on behalf of everyone and so shift the negotiating power in favour of the patient, crack down on obscene pharmaceutical profiteering and limit corporate CEO bonuses and shareholder dividends so that their money actually goes into research and not megayachts and lobbyists.

Needed this thank you.

Gatekeepers are real. Stay scared, kids. Don't follow your dreams

Oh so you're going to stop the demand. That seems fair. But you have to do it in a moral way - like offering an alternative good for free. Like you can't shoot people, for instance, who are about to give rich people money in exchange for a good or service.

Firstly, why are you talking about dicks? Secondly, this isn't about stealing money, it's about preventing the theft in the first place.

Not interested in making the universe smaller or Rich people's pockets smaller.

It won't make your dick larger or your pockets larger, respectively. Mostly because Even the size is relevant, we don't compare dicks to the universe. And as for money, we don't live in a zero sum economy where the excess of someone's wealth came from stealing from you. It came from supply and demand. And you just don't supply enough of things people demand. Furthermore, stealing doesn't fix the world's problems.

Shit. I really needed to hear this today.

I had a bout of this sensation the other day. I found a much better way to do something that’s important for my craft, but instead of getting excited, I got demotivated. Since, it’s “yet another thing to do”. My friend rightly noted this was some time for some mental hygiene, if an exciting opportunity just felt like a chore.

At the end of the day, we have to dispel any idea that we will be able to “do it all” or “do it perfectly”. I describe this as “the infinity of our universe”.

When I get demotivated as such, I just take a step back and say to myself “this universe has infinite potential, and it is equally valid to see it as opportunity as to see it as burden” and prune out the parts of my attitude where it is feeling as a burden.

And sometimes just straight up better genetics. I can believe as hard as I possibly can, but my tubby ass isn't winning any golds in the 100m Sprints in this lifetime

Well that’s what makes me happy no matter what I go through seeing “you” smile or a stranger happy or helped brings joy to my life
