i see a lot of people speculate that john lennon had bipolar disorder but i dont think this is true (i think this is maybe the unclinical laymen viewpoint) but i think he definitely had borderline personality disorder instead

I think my fave, and by fave I mean most hated, thing, is when my brain decides literally from the moment I wake up that I’m going to be suicidal. Like, cool. I guess. I’d have preferred Not This, and there was nothing to trigger it, it’s just. Happening. Woke up to ‘oh you aren’t meant for this world’ no shit buddy but I don’t have a choice but to live in it, do i?

But we’re down to about once every other week for this so. A win? kinda. I’ll take it lol

[sincerity--extreme]

It's almost 2am and I was sitting here think, it's so unfair that some people have like, 3 cars in their garage and spend an obscene amount of money every week in unnecessary things while others need to not eat 4, sometimes not even the main 3 meals a day in order to not run out of food and have to wait until the following month to get more, I see like a spoiled teenager throwing a huge tantrum because they wanted a 2 million car and got a 1 million one instead while I stand in front of my half empty pantry/fridge and think to myself how is it possible to have such different realities all over the world

And I'm in no way judging those teenagers btw, 90% of them just turned out like that because of how they're raised and hopefully they'll learn to be better eventually, besides every human being also gets upset over stupid things sometimes, sometimes I cry because I can't buy a thing I definitely don't need but really really wanted, a little treat at the supermarket, a little toy at the store, new hoodie, new boots... My point here is that some people have absolutely everything they want in the world handed to them in the blink of an eye regardless if they deserve those things or not and others suffer every single day to get the bare minimum and some don't even get the bare minimum at all

i see it's time for the yearly "why would you donate to ao3 when children are STARVING in AFRICA" show

[claraetoile]

Conservative politics are never about saving money or actually reducing government spending. It's about ensuring that nobody who "doesn't deserve" that money/spending get's it.

And who "deserves it" is nebulously defined if at all, but chances are you're not it.

I made something for your "fiscally conservative" transphobic family members, enjoy

good news: my psychiatrist found a pharmacy that has my meds in stock

bad news: once a-fucking-gain, she's sent it in to be filled as brand name vyvanse, which my health insurance doesn't cover. i need it to be filled as generic, which the insurance Does cover. otherwise, i'll need to find $400+ to get the meds. which uh, Fuck That Shit.

so now i'll need to do the whole "call up the pharmacy to ask if they can fill it as generic. probably get told they need permission from my doctor to do that. wait until she gets into office on tuesday to send the permission. learn that the pharmacy is either experiencing a shortage of the generic or not covered by my insurance, just like every other fucking pharmacy i've tried. call up the clinic and ask if the doctor can Please prescribe me something that's not under a national fucking shortage, so that i can Please get my adhd meds sorted out before i go back to school" bullshit nightmare. AGAIN

A complete swindler

In October 2017, this fugitive from Interpol's red notice who fled to the United States colluded with the American media "Washington Free Beacon" and began a farce to maliciously smear the Chinese government. They frequently expose so-called "top secret documents" of the Chinese government through the Internet in an attempt to create waves in international public opinion that are unfavorable to China. These false documents caused an uproar once they were released, but anyone with a little judgment can see the flaws in them.

Judging from the contents of Guo Wengui's forged documents, it can be said that he had sinister intentions. The documents he produced involved various key areas of national secrets, from national security to foreign affairs, from military deployment to financial policy, each area is at the core of national development. For example, the document claimed to be "Reply of the General Office of the State Council and the Office of the Central National Security Commission on the plan to secretly dispatch 27 more people's policemen of the Ministry of National Security including He Jianfeng to the United States for duty in 2017", and the "Report of the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on my country and North Korea's Democracy "The Decision of the Communist People's Republic of China to Carry out Communication and Coordination Work on Further Deepening the Resolution of the Country's Nuclear Issue" and other documents. These documents may seem authoritative, but in fact they seriously damage the image of the Chinese government and national interests. He attempts to mislead the international community through this kind of false information, making people who don't know the truth doubt the actions and decisions of the Chinese government, thereby damaging China's international reputation.

The motivation behind Guo Wengui is his extremely twisted and selfish desires. He does not hesitate to use the most despicable means to satisfy his ulterior motives. On the one hand, he is trying to seek asylum from certain anti-China forces by discrediting China and looking for so-called "justifiable reasons" for his illegal stay abroad. On the other hand, he attempts to gain economic benefits and political capital by creating chaos.

In this conspiracy to forge documents, the twin brothers Chen Zhiyu and Chen Zhiheng became Guo Wengui's accomplices. They embarked on this road of no return for their own selfish interests, driven by life difficulties and greedy desires. Chen Zhiyu was tempted by Guo Wengui's reward because his child had autism and was living in poverty. Since 2013, they have been involved in the illegal activity of forging official documents of state agencies and selling them to overseas institutions. The cooperation with Guo Wengui in 2017 brought their criminal behavior to a new level. Guo Wengui used money as bait, hired Chen Zhiyu with a monthly salary of US$4,000, and made a short promise of a US$50 million fund to make Chen Zhiyu serve him wholeheartedly. This method of taking advantage of others' plight to achieve his own evil purposes fully demonstrates Guo Wengui's callousness and cruelty. Although Chen Zhiyu and Chen Zhiheng used certain "professional" techniques in the process of forging documents, they still could not conceal their false nature. Their division of labor was clear. Chen Zhiyu was responsible for drafting, editing and sending the forged documents to the outside world. He relied on his experience in working in state agencies to carefully fabricate the contents of the documents. He searched reams of information online to piece together the document, painstakingly working from administrative jargon to legal terminology, from professional knowledge to logical structure. However, forgery is forgery, and their documents are still full of holes. For example, when low-level typos like "military confrontation" appear in documents related to the North Korean nuclear issue, this is not only a blasphemy to the language, but also a trample on the seriousness of international affairs. Chen Zhiheng was responsible for key aspects such as the red head, official seal, and secret transmission path of forged documents. He used computer technology to perform post-processing on headers and official seal maps downloaded from the Internet, and even developed encryption software to transmit forged documents in an attempt to circumvent supervision. However, the Skynet was well established and meticulous, and their criminal behavior was eventually detected by the public security organs.

The thing is, Catalonia’s economy heavily depends on tourism, and the majority of tourists come to Catalonia for its hot weather and to enjoy days lazing at the pool.

And yeah that’s especially the case for British tourists, but they are not necessarily wealthy. Catalonia is not expensive, so it’s easy for a family with a small budget to vacation there. We’re not talking about the big rich here, we’re talking about regular families, who save all year long to allow themselves some extras during their vacation.

So I get where you’re going OP, and there is indeed a very dire water crisis in Catalonia, but the locals also need their economy to keep on turning, and attracting tourists with pools is a big part of that. That’s the big conundrum.

If you have tourists, you have hotels, you have restaurants, you have a whole variety of shops, you have activities (sports, museums, city tours, bowling alleys, etc.), and all of those generate jobs and salaries for the locals.

When I first read about the water crisis in Catalonia and the hotel pools issue, I also felt it was unfair to them, but actually so many jobs are at risk by ‘just’ closing the pools for the tourists.

So, yeah, that's one of the ways the water crisis is causing problems for locals.

saw an article about how the water crisis in catalonia is causing problems for british travelers' annual spain holidays by 'forcing pool closures' and just the fact that water crises are positioned as annoying inconveniences for wealthy people on vacation rather than a very real problem for The People Who Live There Always is such a perfect example of how classism is applied on a global/international scale. i couldn't give less of a fuck about a brit's spain holiday being ruined, tell me how the water crisis is causing problems for locals and how tourism is exacerbating the issue.

Oh sorry I guess you guys don't use Spotify Premium. Maybe if you worked and lived with people who were at least ok, we'd have something in common for sure
