Regular racial slurs and even so far as saying them in front of friends/girlfriends of mine of that race.I agree that being a racist but caring parent is way more unforgivable than being a deadbeat but non-racist parent. You really still need to out them publicly. --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso |

But I didnt buy earlier because I was skeptical of the airline industry as a whole, and when it jumped like crazy last month I believed that it survived its darkest times and was poised to return to its pre-virus numbers. Thats why I invested in it at that time, I was planning to hold it for a moderate gain. I just didnt expect it to drop so suddenly and harshly.Why not just wait a year when you're virtually guaranteed a 50% return, minimum?

| Topic | Politics Containment Topic 309: Putin a lifetime bounty |
| Nelson_Mandela 07/03/20 11:29:15 PM #190 | Hello old politics friends. This will be my last series of posts in these topics. I wanted to let you know that I have recently uninstalled Twitter, unfollowed all political content on Facebook, and deleted any bookmarks to news sites that I had been using regularly. And I cannot recommend this enough. It has done wonders for my overall stress levels, increased my productivity, and has allowed me to escape the circular vortex of negativity that is the modern news cycle. The first week or so was kind of tough, as I honestly believe my body was adjusting to the dopamine withdrawals. But after that, my outlook on life has dramatically improved. Instead of procrastinating (as many here do) by refreshing Twitter, reading the comments, or god forbid posting comments, I instead found that it was much more efficient to just complete a task for myself. I have gotten more independent work done in this past month than I have for the earlier part of the year before this; I've been less irritable, more sexually active, more rested, and just in greater spirits than I've been in a very long time. I know politics is a hobby for all of us, but I am here to tell you that politics in 2020 is a toxic hobby. Unhealthy distractions do reveal themselves from time to time--whether it's too much porn, gambling, Smash tournaments, etc. I urge each of you to give it a try for a month or so and see how your overall disposition changes. If I can help one person here write a great novel or start their own business or volunteer, or anything, then I will leave this series a happy man. --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso |
