Discomfort is an essential part of growth and wouldn’t it be so embarrassing to be the exact same person thirty years from now, in a totally different world, because you were so averse to discomfort?

Once you start noticing how the incapacity to handle discomfort affects how people live their lives it's actually pretty shocking how it ruins pretty much every conceivable aspect of existence. Interpersonal relationships, romantic and platonic. Career and education opportunities. Your politics Your willingness to go anywhere. The kind of food you eat. The kind of art you expose yourself to and your ability to read it. It's never just one thing, it touches everything, and once you notice it it's like suddenly being able to see germs or something. Just this horrific catastrophe people look at you askance for screaming about. As I grow older and see what became of my friends and peers who could not learn to handle discomfort, the more I'm like. This is a genuine societal issue

Increasing my discomfort tolerance has also been one of the greatest assets to improving my mental health.

Companies and military producers who profit from a forever war benefit this kind of bill. It's why Benjamin Netanyahu is in favor of this. With Israel being part of the U.S. military defense and technology, it would ensure continued war effort This bill aims to fund Israel's war effort permanently.

Holy shit, this is why it's important to stay vigilant and educate yourself. We cannot create a dystopian future for a system that actively works against our own interests. Privacy is a human right. Full stop. youtu.be/FMPPUa9H-6U?...

OP: "How is this even supposed to be a human right? It's just convenience"

My response: "according to article 12 in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations explicitly states "No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy[...]Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks."

The fact you think having basic privacy is not a necessity nor a eight that you're entitled to is sad."

Apparently I need to show ID to view a music video "Animal" by Maroon 5, whereas another video with the same song but re-uploaded as lyrical is fine? Tell me how censorship is equivalent to "safety", oh wait it's not (God may we wish to abolish this absolute dogshit dystopian 1984 world)

A pop up display with a text that reads "Take a few minutes to verify your age" with a subheading description notice that states "To view this video, please provide more info so we can be sure you're an adult."

With a hyperlink text of "Read More" for additional info.

The pop up can be seen when trying to publicly view a music video "Animals" made by Maroon 5

Throwback to the sweeping age verification around across video games and social media, albeit this approach is tame compared to what other measures we've seen of Still baffles me to this day that I got logged out for nearly 3 months just because A.I. decided that my birthdate is invalid Fuck this.

Pop up webpage that is greeted to you when you first login on Desktop which reads
"Hi there!
In order to provide an age-appropriate experience,
we need to know your birthdate. This is a one-time
thing, and your data will be kept private.
Set your birthdate below and we'll get you back to
posting and exploring in no time!"

With the information subheading caption that explicitly states
"For organizational accounts, use the birthdate of
the person who is responsible for the account."

alongside with the option to log out with a hyperlink "click here" text to be signed out of Bluesky when failure to comply with birthdate

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

Distraught woman says ICE killed her wife in video after deadly Minneapolis shooting
"They killed my wife," the distraught woman says, adding, "They shot her in the head."
An ICE agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman who was driving an SUV in Minneapolis on Wednesday. / Screenshot/@Breaking911

"They killed my wife. I don't know what to do," the woman says through sobs in the footage, with a damaged SUV visible in the distance behind her. "We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head," the woman cries.
"We have a six-year-old at school," she says, almost unable to breathe, as a chaotic scene in which federal officers prevented at least one doctor who was on the scene from assisting the shot victim unfolds. "We're new here," the distraught woman says in despair.

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

Someone's screenshot of a two-post twitter thread, from user blue (@bluewmist):

the fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. it's called ego involvement. when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. not because you don't care, but because you care too much.

you don't need lower standards. you need less self-worth tangled up in your goals. the work gets easier when it's not about proving who you are.
