Advocate for freedom and tolerance even if you say things I do not like

Accept that I'll probably say something you don't like and I'll give you the same benefit, and maybe we can find some truth about the world.

Ah... Is the Alliteration clever or stupid? Don't answer that, I sort of know the answer already...

When it's cold that's not evidence of climate change, but when it's warm it is.

Because there's nothing fallacious about that logic.

(And as for the north, kids can't go outside and play 6 months of the year)

Remember when he locked up the media, charged his political opponents, filled the capitol with armed military and had that strange rally surrounded by soldiers against a blood red backdrop?

We can't say for sure except for all the people who wrote books bragging about what they did.

Given that Plato believed in the forms, I totally believe he'd be in the "real communism has never been tried" camp.

I'm not really dating myself.... It's more of a situationship.

Plato is mildly retarded.

They seem to forget in all their excitement over the 14th amendment that there was a mass insurrection for 6 months and they were out fundraising for it.

Lol no

The answer is don't.

Why do you care about something going on somewhere you'll never been 500 miles from?

Unless it's entertaining, it's a distraction from the real stuff in front of you -- and people in power want you to try to save the world so you don't save yourself.

Lol 7am

Filthy casuals

Lock em all up.

Whoopsie

Ideological homogeneity leads to a lack of perspective...

OTOH imagine being a boomer with a TV someone might change the channel to a news station on in 2022.

Considering 365 days have passed I'm a little surprised how little I played, but when I look back and realize I spent the time mostly IRL I'm pretty ok with this outcome.

I tested with rss.app, rssguard, quiterss, nextcloud news, feeder, Read You, spaRSS DecSync, and Nunti.

Only Read You showed the same error message, but some of the feeders were better with the feed than others for sure. RSS guard portable failed entirely on a "protocol error" whatever that means.

The issue may not be with soapbox/rebased but with your rss reader. I just loaded my rss feed into nextcloud news and it loaded up. (It could be in part due to the really long titles) I'll try a couple other rss readers.

I think emotion and it's expression is a lot like good fun. There's a time and a place for it, and there's a time and a place it must be set aside.

It's normal and healthy to express a whole range of emotions and if you try to fully ignore them you're going to be ultimately harming yourself. Emotions come in a wide range, some of them feel more like vice, some of them might feel more virtuous, but they are all part of you.

In the same way that our nerve endings deliver messages to our brain to let us know about the status of our body, whether that be in good ways or in bad ways, our emotions are delivering messages to our consciousness to let us know about the status of our psyche, whether that being good ways or in bad ways.

In western civilization we've come to rely heavily on antidepressants, which as far as I can tell are basically just a volume control for your emotions. If you take enough antidepressants you won't feel anything at all. However, in the same way that you didn't take enough opium that you can't feel your broken leg but the damage has still been done to your leg and if you try to walk on it you're going to permanently damage it, if you take enough antidepressants not to feel any emotions and you have a broken psyche, you can still apply pressure to it but you're going to permanently damage it.

It's also very important for the relationships with people around you that you express your emotions. A child who grows up never seeing their father express love will be broken. A marriage where anger or discontent is never expressed me look good on the surface but will ultimately snap because fights that needed to happen will never happen.

On the other hand, there are many times in our lives where we need to set aside our emotions, just as there are times where we have to set aside physical discomfort.

Anyone who needs to go out and clear the driveway after a snowstorm knows that it is extremely unpleasant being outside in the cold blowing snow, but if you wait until it's warm out you'll never be able to use your driveway again.

There are a lot of times where you're feeling anxious, scared, angry, hateful, and those dark feelings can cripple you. A lot of those cases though, you have to set that aside because there's work to be done. Someday your parents are going to die, and there's a good chance you will have to step up and arrange their funeral. You cannot just sleep forever, the body needs to be laid to rest whether you're sad or not. Sometimes it is an emergency, and somebody needs to do something or things are going to get way worse and you can't just sit there wallowing in your negative emotions. Still other times, you are just in a time or place or both where things are not perfect and there's nothing you can do about it but make it through the other side. There's just no point in wallowing in it. And sometimes the pain is overwhelming, and you just need to figure out how to make it a little while until it wanes a little.

You can be overwhelmed by positive emotions as well, and while it's a lot more pleasant, life still goes on and you need to make sure you keep your head when it's time to get to work.

All of this in my view is similar to having fun and playing. Without having fun and playing and doing things you enjoy now and again life is empty and painful, but sometimes it's time to buckle down and just get some work done, and people who can't handle doing both at appropriate times are going to be worse off by far than people who can do both at appropriate times.
