I’ve found that the former is usually more effective in making me forget about my terrible intrusive thoughts. This usually entails exercise, housework, errands, or doing art. But it also feels like I’m just ignoring the problem and never fully solving it. It only works temporarily.

In opposition, doing the latter is never as effective, but it feels like I am actually trying to “mentally combat“ the problem head on in an effort to fully rid myself of it.

I cannot talk to anyone about these thoughts. That much is clear.

What should I do? I want to rid myself of this terrible piece of my brain and be a genuinely good person.

Nearly EVERY POST on that godforsaken sub is removed. Who the hell is running it? Because they’re ruining it, seemingly deliberately. I rarely post on it, but I engage with it a lot. There’s tons of well written posts to read and join discussions. And many of said posts get upvoted and gather tons of user engagement. Commentators will agree the opinion is both unpopular and valid. But within an hour, it’s almost always removed.

Why don’t we all just agree to stop posting on that sub in general? Because it is truly insufferable to use now.

I have 2 labradors who are 11 and 5 respectively. Me and the family have had them their whole lives. But for whatever reason, both of them started forcing their way into the kitchen cupboard sliding door (which goes down to the floor) in the past 3 months in order to get to the food. A behavior neither of them have ever exhibited before.

It’s getting really annoying every day finding our food half eaten and trashed around the house, or sometimes it’s carried outside in the yard through the dog door. Simply scolding them about it has done nothing. Me and the family have even resorted to clamping or barricading the cupboard door shut with bag clips or chairs. This has proven ineffective as they’re both big dogs and can still force their way through the door.

It is important to note that the 5 year old has regularly been having siezures for the past year. So now she’s heavily medicated. I don’t know if that has something to do with the behavior but just thought to point it out.

Anyone have any ideas on what may be causing this and how we can stop them from doing it? Preferably something to PREVENT the behavior altogether. Not keep them from trying to continue doing so.

To better explain, movies that are genuinely scary, intense, and dreadful throughout the runtime. The characters have been constantly tormented by whatever the threat may be. But then finally at the end, they step out victorious through their efforts and resilience. The falling action before credits feels like you can finally breathe in relief alongside them. And you know that the nightmare has finally ended.

Endings like this are always satisfying to me. The best example I can think of is the original Exorcist. Once that morning comes, the movie becomes hopeful for the first time.

Can anyone recommend me movies like this?

Boomers: 1969

Gen X: 1999

Millennials and Gen Z: 2019

I’m noticing a pattern here. I wonder what the next generation will say

I’ve been told this isn’t the case because football is apparently too rough to play that many games in a row. But I really don’t see how that works due to the fact that hockey too is an extremely physical sport, yet the NHL does best of 7 series formats in their postseason. Furthermore, the NHL does an 82 game regular season. Why can’t the NFL do more?

I feel that best of 7 series are a true proven indicator of the better team. Not one game.

I very much consider him (and the others with the mantle) to be so. Albeit with a different spin on the usual set up. But it seems most people disagree with me in that regard.
