Incorrect. You are preaching for indirect methods and calling it strength. Two responses:
(1) Stop hoping bad things happen to people so they grow or suffer; it's lazy and weak. A culture of discrimate or indiscriminate corrective violence will never work.
(2) This is the same group that is working to dismantle public schools -and going along with the dismantling public space and resources in every direction. Since they only care about themselves, they will send their kids to private schools or homeschool them. Your lack of care accords with and is defeated by theirs.

Can confirm this was the actual holiday on the state calendar when I started elementary school (it was not by the time I was in fifth grade). I never realized at the time how blindingly stupid it was to celebrate a couple of years of treason. It's still blindingly stupid but at least it's not normalized. That's why MAGA/CWN and etc are so so angry. They have no excuse to be such worthless POS and they spend all their time secretly hoping to somehow find a way to have that not be the case.

Jenny was deeply damaged from ongoing childhood molestation as well as the entire community's obvious disinterest in intervening. If she was interested in/capable of a healthy relationship, she was pretty enough to get one.
Rose was oblivious to how her lack of focus damaged her current family until the day she died.
Nonetheless, "women" are not monolithic group any more than "men".
Avoid relationships if you like; in fact from your comment, I think some self-healing at minimum is wise before you go after one with your whole self. I definitely live in a glass house when it comes to self-review but you're at least trying to discuss your symptoms. There are worse starts.

ADHDer: I can't meditate. Are you serious? If I could shut off my brain, don't you think I would be doing that?
RANDOM SIGN: Nothing is Possible
ADHDer: Maybe. I can try meditation again, I guess.

Needs to.move to a smaller town. Everyone will simply drive around him cuz that's just how David is. People will call the police only when it's too cold for him to be outside. Anyone who calls the police otherwise will be encouraged to get with the program or move back to wherever they came from.

When I started at my current company, they defined core hours as 9a - 5p. It's just baffling how so many companies take advantage of the current environment without understanding basic terms or basic history.

Since US owns the GPS satellites, it seems inevitable that the US military would be involved. However, don't worry, current US administration seems hellbent on burning everything down so perhaps other countries who don't have this problem will get to take over first contact and response. The destructiveness may well take a generation to fix.

I mean, the chassis looks pretty tough and as long as the welding is good, I think it will hold together. But I'm not an expert.

It was always about the fear of their kids understanding a different perspective, and thus having to acknowledge that their worldview isn't inevitable, correct or morally good. The older I get, the less patience I have about calling it anything else. I can be patient with anxiety. I am now too old to be patient with bad-faith acting and a wholehearted refusal to accept that your received beliefs (or the ways you have chosen to receive them) are neither good nor kind.

No billionaires. If we bail out companies and give multi-year tax relief to businesses and individuals who declare bankruptcy, then we should likewise put a cap the other way. It's true that the person involved may not have themselves declare bankruptcy, but we all bear the cost of government bails so that doesn't matter. All these incentives to ensure a success story for a very small group of people is not a good use of money. Either we don't let companies get big enough to cause damage or we do but ensure no individual has a net worth over $1b. It's perverse to insist that it's overregulation and meddling when it's adjusting one way but not the other. That puts the burden of expense on people who never put themselves in a position of bankruptcy and who won't see any profit if one of the dozens of gambles pay off. No one needs more than $1b, ever.

I will say this may or may not be happening in USA but one of the many downsides of a self centered and incompetent administration is that the current bureaucratic wheels preclude professional and timely investigations into things. I cannot wait for the professionals to return to all the agencies. It'll be rebuilding because of the destructiveness of the current President and his political appointees to all the agencies. But I am so so hopeful as a person and hope one day we can remove this meddling and have a functional country again.

The students make the case that it's not their fault they came to the country on forged documents. They obviously expected and paid like the documents were valid. If they really thought they were fake, they wouldn't have tried to use them to gain citizenship and it's not fair that they did everything correctly and now risk deportation. It's a bit of rock and a hard place for them. They spent their university years building a life like they wanted and now it can be taken away with little warning. They are not wrong that they did all the things. If there's no mechanism to gatekeep college admissions that's both a new thing to address and not the kids' fault. India and Canada will likely work it out. Worst case scenario they emigrate home and get a job somewhere else using their resume. It's just unfortunate and feels like a tough blow for a bunch of 20-somethings who were executing their plans for their lives.

This appears to be linked to an investigation by India into fraudulent agents in their own country forging documents. They raised the issue with Canada when students who had graduated in Canada and subsequently tried for citizenship were found to have forged documents in their possession and so they shouldn't have been allowed to be in Canada to study at all. (I imagine Canada'll add some sort of verification check for colleges, maybe.) However if this headline is related to that, it's more a group of criminals are exploiting a loophole than anything else. Since India is one of the largest countries by population in the world, any widespread activity there can move the needle anywhere else, yeah.
