While it’s easy for me to say, in this case you contributed to your stress levels. I’m not a buddhist but I found a lot of the teachings helpful, combined with an audiobook from Derren Brown called ‘Happy’… in this situation the best move would be to assess what can be changed (activity, location) and what cannot be changed (the weather, if the fish are biting, mosquitos).
It’s a bit of a grim idea to come to terms with, but acceptance that many aspects of life happen to us with no control is oddly freeing. Anyway I’ll fuck off now with my advice. You might hate it and I can’t control that!
When I was in the navy I went to a barcade and decided to buy around 1000 little army men. I managed to hide about 200 of them and I still have buddies telling me they found another.
I heard that on one ship army men were considered good luck, guarding places and keeping the gremlins out of the engines and other important systems. A new officer thought it was silly and told them to take them all down, but he changed his mind after the ship became plagued with a bunch of issues for weeks on end.
They’ve done actual studies that show these protests are counter productive, blindly supporting anything just because they claim to support your cause is incredibly dumb.
In this world there are a huge amount of people who really, really, really like attention and will insert themselves into anything to try and get it, they’ll use any excuse to ‘boost their profile’ especially if they can pretend to be some form of hero along the way.
The idiot who got shot in the capitol and the idiot who threw soup on the painting are the same unthinking attention seeking type of idiot, the right pretend they’re breaking into the capitol to save children, the left try to ruin people’s day in the name of climate change - then on their respective sides a whole host of idiots cheer and say ‘I’m supporting these brave activists so I’m not part of the problem, I can continue to live my life exactly as I chose - safe in the knowledge that cheering on these idiots is enough’
Like most of the fuckwits on here. How dare someone have fun, rabble rabble, politics Post, rabble. This place is getting as bad as reddit with these useless cunts.
Redditors already had a general smugness because they weren’t like other social media sites. Now they are not like other smug social media site alternatives.
If you don’t see stuff you disagree with now and then you’re living in an echo chamber, and holy shit some people are really are getting high on their own supply here.
The other side of the coin is people like you going “how dare someone have criticism, rabble rabble, if you don’t like everything all the time you’re a cunt!”
shit she's like something out of a 19th Century short story.. i imagine them living in a little cottage away from neighbors, so he's alone with her.. and the babies..
