Wow. That sounds really hard. I really hope things get better. I have always observed you going through hard times and having a lot of resilience and strength. 
 
 

My favorite quote about religion is 

"It's sane when you talk to God, but it's insane when you hear him talk back"

Do what your body allows for. Something is in fact better than nothing. 
 
Your body is an adaptive machine. It compensates for what you give (both in food and physical stress) it to operate  at is best "efficiency". You are taking it outside of it's comfort zone and now it's working to get back to what it's used to. It takes a while for that new "stress" to become the new normal.

yeah, but where there's a will there's a way. I've been rumbling about joining a gym for months but haven't done it and I could probably be going out walking but I'm not. Tbh if I did that Gotch bible stuff dab00g is always talking about, it would probably fix me up, it's just the issue of time and of having the room to do it. 
 
So at least for me, it's not the pandemic as much as I'm just not doing it. Getting this news has pushed me to take it more seriously though. I've been trying to change up my eating habits, not eat so much bread (enriched flour is basically about as bad as sugar and high fructose corn syrup and it's in EVERYTHING) and that'll help too. But I basically go from sitting at home to sitting in the car, then sitting at my desk at the studio. :(

Thank you. The day it happened was stressfilled from people acting the fool, then SRK/Preppy nonsense added to the stress. Then its been more continued silliness. My mom didnt really have much but what she did have has been handled in extremely questionable ways.
 
Im doing pretty alright all things considered. Need to call that grief counseling regardless. Specially since I had a nightmare involving my mother thst actually scared me. Usually my night ares technically horrific but they dont really scare me. This was a short dream that really stepped over the line in terrifying. Kinda stopped me from sleeping the day after.
 
My daughter is the one having it the trickiest. She knows it affects me still so she tries to help. But she tried to play Dias De Los Muertos yesterday and did a play ofrenda (offering put on the altar foe the dead) to Grandma. Playing through it is how she'll deal but still. Its a delicate situation when you're playing a game where her pretend character's grandmother died.

Things are pretty good in general, but I am still going through an intense healing and purification process. It's gets pretty uncomfortable at times. I am improving mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually as I progress forward. 

I'm just saying, there are only so many things funnier than this shit right here

Probably in the mix of things. IIRC the creator wanted to have a hero who defeated enemies by pressing acupuncture points.
 
 
Holy shit that gif. Is that from FoTN2? I was pretty satisfied at the ending for the first series. Tried to do the sequel but lost interest halfway through the first episode.

So if you have the power to make fools hug each other you'd use it on some posters...

Except it's not, since it's existed since long before the Empire of Japan.

Good thing no one cares what you think.

They plan on releasing Covid-21 which will be much worse. 

The tentacles of chavez and maduro's regime are so vast it's a real danger to people. So when I see people talking about how the rich right in Venezuela are "lobbying Washington" for an intervention, that maduro was elected legitimately, that che guevara - killer of innocents and gay people, was a justice fighter, all I can think in my head is "you don't what the hell you are saying 😒".
 
 
 

We've got plenty of laws on the books criminalizing getting fucked up in public, and those are still around.  It's just that owning a limited amount of the stuff isn't a one way ticket into America's for-profit prison labor system anymore.  In Oregon anyway.
 
Shit, addicts should probably be viewed as the victims of drug sales, not co-conspirators.

man, this one dude has been covering the election results for 12 hours straight... I've been to sleep, woke up and ate breakfast and the guy is still on. [John from "Modern Life Dating"]
 
On another note-- just noticed some helicopters flying over...y'know, that shit has always seemed like a death-trap to me... even when I was a little kid I'd see those and think---no way...you couldn't pay me enough to ever be on that nonsense.  When something goes wrong on those, that's like a guaranteed Game Over for you.

Well Seattle fucked up the other approach for everybody. They had cops stand down on drug charges, but it sort of ended up being that they just stopped prosecuting homeless people for actual crimes they committed. There was a long news report on the situation over there.
 
The other sort of weird catch is that by keeping possession criminalized, you can force people into rehab through plea deals and all that jazz. So then the issue now is how to make those services available and attractive enough.  Getting clean is a really hard process and people stumble constantly through it.
 
But at least you won't be tossing them in jail for X amount of months/years for being human and failing at it.

To be fair, considering they literally ran for their lives away from a leftist dictatorship, that's not surprising.
 
Yet the signal this gives is: "People can get lit in Oregon without being arrested."
 
That's kinda counter-productive if you ask me. Addicts need help, sure, medical help. A pass to carry drugs may stave off the legal problems that would prevent them from turning their life around, but it won't get them any closer to the medical help they need.
 
And this even ain't like weed. Legalized Meth!? Really!? People gonna call that medicinal too?

Well, you're addicted. Alcoholics can get helped without catching a charge for being alcoholics. In this situation if you catch an addict, you don't throw them in jail just because they use drugs.
 
So lets say you have a heroin addiction. If a cop catches you, they'll arrest you for being addicted to a substance and having possession of it for the addiction. So not only do you have a health issue, you also now have to deal with the criminal charges.
 
If you decriminalize possession, you're basically ignoring a  whole swaths of people doing recreational stuff without harming anybody. You aren't wasting the court's time on weedheads and cokebores. But people down in the dumps aren't having their life penalized extra hard for being down in the dumps.
 
What you focus is on getting these people out of addiction and rehabbing. The other way is just penalizing people extra hard for making a mistake.

Or...you know...you're forcing a sensitive organ like the brain is, one which runs your entire body, and damaging it with dangerous chemicals which leads to physical damage. This physical damage in turn leads to cognitive issues since the brain literally controls everything.

I think it's a horrible idea as well.
