I worry for the mind that wrote that.

Hope you're ok

Are there non-lewd sex acts?

Been listening to the stories of how people saved, supported and fought for others during the Holocaust, even risking their own lives.

I'm not taking away from the tragedy of the loss suffered by so many. I'm saying we can take some hope that human nature is complex enough and good enough that we must not lose sight of that in the face of evil.

Apologies, totally misunderstood that important point.

Did you possibly give them permission when you agreed to terms and conditions?

[–] essell 3 points 1 week ago

For sure. Done of them likely coming from me taking some fairly mundane risks, like putting myself out there

[–] essell 27 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Yeah, totally.

At 30 I realised I was utterly depressed and had been most of my life. Was so used to it that I didn't realise I could be any different.

Started a long long journey to sort that. Started trying things. Scary as it was, it was less scary than living the rest of my life without ever having lived.

Tried new relationships, new religions, tried new experiences. Again, pushing myself out of my comfort zone a lot but then if I didn't, I was heading towards an early grave and what could be worse than dying?

This is why there's still Windows XP running major systems.

Windows kept changing anyway so maybe it's possible that'll still happen and people just get left with legacy OSs

Seen em around lately?

That's really missing the point.

All those things you've described are taking away from People's options, their choices. They're disempowering.

The point of the quote is to remind people that they have more power in their lives than they think. You have choices you don't yet realise.

Its not a cure all, it is worth knowing.

We all forge chains on ourselves because we had to at some point, often just to survive. Knowing that, we can learn to break those chains when we don't need them anymore.

A lot of the items in that fridge could serve that function.
