The moral of the original book is that the tricks and tools are not a replacement for self control. It's humbling that a literal children's book can (re)teach us profound things. And to me, it's comforting to know that a child's fresh mind is infinitely better at things so many of us struggle with (e.g., a phoneless child isn't addicted to screens, a newborn can become a vegan as easily as an omnivore)

An article discussing Maduro's kidnapping described it as

The Perfect Operation – Coordination, Timing and Precision at an Unprecedented Scale ... a military operation of coordination and accuracy never seen before

Seems like a preview of the slop they'll be serving once Trump is fully vegetative.

I think this capacity for "productive discomfort" has an older name that feels almost out of date. It's patience

Fuck. Most of the problems in my life seem to be addressed by the most simple and difficult things I've heard a thousand times, yet fail to adequately incorporate into my life ("patience is a virtue", "drink water & eat vegetables", "stay active" etc.)

In my neck of the woods "thank god for this people crusher, I love it when my government crushes people and I will continue to vote for whichever candidate promises to crush the most people" is a depressingly common sentiment 😞

Because racism and sexism connote a broad power dynamic of oppression, and since white men have most of the political and social power, critiques of them are not sexist or racist. I'd say OP is just a sexually & racially prejudicial strawman, i.e. a lemmy shitpost ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )
