  • Quit fucking trying to justify your actions, because you got in shit for them. Didn’t want flack? Gee, maybe you shouldn’t have blown up hospital with civilians and terrorists in it.

    Harden also writes that he knows “from first hand experience that Hamas shot at innocent Gazan civilians trying to escape firefights.”

    I don’t think anyone at this point is debating if Hamas are a bunch of massive shitbags.

    goes on to point out that under international law, health establishments lose their protected status if they are “used to interfere directly or indirectly in military operations.”

    Just because you CAN bomb a hospital, doesn’t mean you should. Why the fuck do I even have to type this? Attempted justification like this is gaslighting, pure and simple. "

    Humans were a mistake.




  • Dude, you are being way, way too hard on yourself. Here is why:

    • Your personality doesn’t fully develop until you’re about 26 or 27. This is because of development in your prefrontal cortex

    • The fitness thing can change relatively easily and yes, it will help you. Not only will it help you dating, but it’ll help your lifestyle in general and you’re overall health.

    • There are tons of people that are in the same boat as you within your cohort. I realize that of me feel like you’re dating opportunities are over now that you’ve graduated, but this is just a change in your lifestyle.

    • You are already workinfg on improving yourself which is going to improve your odds on finding someone that you connect with. Your volunteering, you’re doing other things. You are chasing own hobbies and living your life. This also helps

    • Anecdotally, I was in a very similar position at your age. Spend a pile of time working (300 hr months from June to December; 220ish the rest of the year). I still managed to find the right person and now I’m snuggling our youngest while typing this.

    The journey of self improvement is thankless. It sucks. You feel like you’re getting nowhere and everyone is miles out ahead of you. They aren’t, and if they seem like it, it’s because they have made tradeoffs. Comparison ruins our self confidence. Try you best to avoid it. Let what you do on self improvement be because that’s what you want to improve upon because that’s how you envision the best version of yourself.

    Self-improvement is also extremely slow. Same with the dating thing. I realize how painfully lonely it can be to be single, but developing a good group of friends will help. Further, you shouldn’t view a potential partner as something necessary to make you happy or complete. You need to be those things before you even think about getting into a relationship; otherwise you’re setting yourself up for disaster and placing unreasonable expectations on said partner.

    I could go on, but there’s enough there to encourage you




  • I can see his point. They’re in the middle of a fight for their existence. Why would you hold an election, particularly if he’s doing a good job of it? Yes, I concede that this is a slippery slope for democracy, in that this is the very rationale that dictators use to shore up power. However, the grounds that they make those claims are usually against imagined foes rather than an actual country invading yours.

    Day 1 after they kick russia out permanently? Election.
