through and if they can get through it why can't I I'm stating that this is something I find comforting when I'm needing to cope it doesn't mean it will work for everyone and I don't view it as others have gone through this so my feelings are not valid it's more of thousands of other people have felt this way before and if they can figure out how to cope with it or navigate or heal from it then why can't I this is just one of the many tools I have in my coping toolbox that I use it's me telling myself if other people can figure out how to get through this situation and experience then I can too

else in the future and will continue to exist in various forms transforming continuously until the end of time itself so in a way we're connected to something absolutely Eternal and our ultimate fate is to be spread across the Stars hell depending how deep you want to get there's also a tiny tiny chance that your pattern of DNA will form entirely by chance again creating someone that is biologically you but with a whole new memory experiences and history basically everyone and everything is connected the best part none of this is based on religion or wishful thinking it's actual established and current scientific fact no matter how anxious you feel you are no matter how ridden by fear you feel you are every single one of us is the genetic Survivor of hundreds of thousands of

own he used to work for an art dealer huh America had a black president for longer than the Confederacy existed I like this I'm comforted hey I'm seeing how you're getting some comments from non-americans about this as an Australian I know most of my fellow Aussies I talked to were really gosh darn impressed that that happened your dog loves you people see you as 20% more attractive than you see yourself as and a lot of people need to hear this like it breaks my heart that people don't believe they're good-look when in reality you are a gorgeous son of a witch I know I know for all of

got captured by the Germans the French Jews were being killed the Muslim man offered every Jew he could find sh delter in his mosque and handed out fake Muslim certificates so they wouldn't be

country is pushing for a series of laws that would make ecos side the destruction of the ecosystem a punishable crime since animals have evolved next to humans for thousands of years they've learned to show their feelings towards us dogs will wag their tails lick you step on your feet and press their body against your legs and lie on you all in an effort to show affection and be as close as physically possible to you cats make eye contact and slowly blink at you to say I am comfortable I am pleased they headbutt you as their form of a hug and they groom you as they would a kitten to care for you they rub their scent on you to say this is my human all mine and it reassures them of your bond cows will also groom you and enjoy being pet as it's relaxing and they truly trust you also

is freaking amazing conversely when a mother is sick or injured while pregnant the fetus will send white blood cells and stem cells via the umbilical cord to help the mother fight off an infection and get better truly amazing this is true I was bitten by a deadly spider and my body was giving up I was about to get the antivenom and transferred to major city hospital then they discovered I was

gauge first reads empty you usually have 50 to 60 Mi of fuel left autot Tech here I do want to note that fuel is what lubricates and cools the fuel pump consistently running it below around a quarter tank will result in degradation of the fuel pump in the long term if it's an emergency it's okay but for the sake of the pump and its Bill to replace in the long term I'd fill up around a quarter tank if you can I've tried to hold off on the comments of naysayers in these facts but it also feels like my job here is partially to educate as well as entertain take comfort in the fact that by topping off your gas in good time you're staving off a maintenance job it is estimated every 10 years the cells in your body will have been replaced with new ones therefore you get a new body every 10 years

webs they can what toads can eat bread and toast nothing is permanent so even if you have no hope everything sucks or if you've messed up nothing is permanent food can be really yummy when you sleep

hugely popular question within a day or so don't feel bad next time you mess something up every single living thing is an accident Evolution was just a series of some cell messing up it's literally nature to make mistakes even the hottest people have smelly butt blasts many have even sharted the vast majority of people are actually decent all also we don't need to find meaning we literally created ourselves everything that matters matters to someone everything that is beautiful is beautiful in the eyes of someone the universe does care we're the part doing the caring almost everything on the internet stays meaning hundreds of years in the future we can look back on tweets from old celebrities and world leaders just imagine if we had social media 500 years ago we could just look back at history happening we have been born into arguable the best point in human history it's true that we have a whole slew of troubles these issues are only minor examples compared to the plagues social Darwinism and overall pretty crap quality of life that you'd live in say a 100 years back we still have those plagues and racial biases and hatred but we are lucky that we're alive in a time where over the past Century so many strives towards equality have been made except for black licorice we're unfortunately still in that era an average person living in the developed world today lives better than a Roman Emperor think about it we have the entirety of human knowledge in our pockets at all times we can take hot baths whenever we want have fresh drinking water literally on tap in several rooms of our home toilets TV kitchen appliances we can travel the globe in a day or two we can order anything we want on our phones and have someone literally bring it to our door even just
