  • I had a friend that voted for Brexit. When I asked him why, he said that his grandfather was able to buy a house and take care of his family on his salary. His father was able to do the same. He said, these immigrants come in and live two families to a house and are willing to work for far less. He said, I don’t want that type of future for myself.

    No amount of telling him that – the people that caused this issue are also benefitting from Brexit – could convince him.

    Was weird because I wasn’t an immigrant but my family was and he was cool with me.

    I don’t know if I’d trust any of the text around it until we see more … the picture doesn’t seem like it matches at all.

    I mean, you can downvote me but the text seems utterly ridiculous. If it’s real then you guys are right, but it certainly doesn’t seem like a believable story.






  • Some people say “hack yourself” … create a TODO list in anyway you like. First thing on that list is to “create a list” and cross that off after you’ve listed some items.

    Keep the items small and doable. Going outside or watch a movie isn’t a “big” item but it’s worth on this list damnit!

    Don’t be down on yourself for any reason about doing nothing on the list. If you are, recognize that you did that, forgive yourself for feeling that way and try again. Feel free to throw out items and put even simpler tasks on it, if you can.

    Doesn’t work for everyone, but it does work for some.
