You keep thinking that so you don't get sad.

I have an uncle who told me that he believes because the idea of no god scares him. I appreciate that honesty. That makes sense to me. I however don't find the fact there is no god scary or sad. It just is. There are enough real things you could be scared or sad about.

(edit) ugh, i don't know why i fell for engaging about god stuff. Now i feel stupid. shinny got me.

Ugh, I couldn't get through most of that. Too depressing before i even had my morning coffee. Please tell me there is some positive parts to this. I saw a letter from a law firm (i think). Are they being helped in seeking justice or just not getting fucked anymore?

The problem is that people are short-sighted. We HATE spending money on something if it doesn't
a) measurably improve my life in some way or
b) fix an obvious problem.
I'm guilty of this too.

Nice meal out? great!
Holiday? Fantastic!
New bike/snowboard/toy? Awesome!

Even if something breaks, your brain is ok with spending money to fix it.

"Damnit, the element broke in the oven! Ahh well, better go get a replacement"

But getting my car serviced? Ugh, it's running fine!
Intellectually, I know that spending some money now will save me more in the long run, but I am still irrationally annoyed by it.

Drug treatment is the same. If you spend money on drug treatment, crime doesn't get committed. Because crimes aren't being committed people see drug treatment as a waste of money.

Prevention is always harder to see the benefits of than cure.

Plus, it's REALLY easy to blame drug-related crime on drug users. It's easy political points, whereas saying you want to spend tax payer dollars on potential criminals? Admit it, even if you're liberal, reading that sentence triggers some mild outrage in your lizard brain.

Ugh... seriously? I'm amazed no-one has punched them yet.

ugh, why not just act normal and not try to create a situation... just be polite. People that act all awkward and refuse to speak because they want to flex their rights in petty situations like this are just creating a headache for all involved. Save this shit for when it matters.

Ugh, shit, god dammit, *ban I guess

Ugh. Too many words to read on the telepromptor. Also, it didn't mention my name enough so I got bored after 30 seconds.

ugh. don't wear shoes in my house.

*ban

Son of a bitch....now being reported that he hung himself...as in intentional suicide.
Ugh. I'm finding that far more depressing than his unexpected death, which I found depressing.

ugh.... fuck Trump, and fuck his asshole cronies.

Ugh, you need to know even more to type it!

The March for Science...ugh what a frontier we have before us.

Ugh, I'm starting to think that the downsides of "patriotism" outweigh whatever benefits it might have.

"This is how selfish people are.
When you are on a plane and you hear a baby crying, you think that’s happening to you.
This is gonna ruin my flight. It’s gonna ruin it.
Well look at the parent, because that person is holding a crying baby on a plane.
Which means they’ve been travelling with a baby all day, which means they have a baby, okay?
So there life isn’t even good.
They don’t like anything.
Their whole life is, ugh, Jesus.
If there is any joy for them, it’s that this is now bothering other people.
Yeah, you listen to this shit now, WAAAH."
