    On a real note, that phrase is not about what’s happening around you, but how you feel about it.

    “Accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”

      It’s the 12 step (serenity) prayer

      God grant me the serenity
      To accept the things I cannot change;
      Courage to change the things I can;
      And matches to make it everyone’s problem.

      Obviously they’ve made some changes over the years

    I’m out of the loop on this one. Can someone cue me in on who this is, and what the significance and context is?

      So instead of tweets now people put their little comments as the caption to a short form video where they just stare at the camera and then other people screencap that and share it like an image macro, but instead of socially awkward penguin it’s this fuckin guy.

      Maybe there’s another layer if you know who he is but I think it’s just some fucking guy and the point is the words and his facial expression/body language.

        I would bet close to then things are returning to a form of stability that might resemble something livable and where one would want to raise children. Sorta…

        We’re in the first third of a generational transition phase, which happens throughout history all the time. The changes over the next few years will take a generation to remediate. Which, at that point, means the goal is not “going back” to something remembered, but seeking stability based on the context of 16-25 year-olds that are kids now who will need that stability to build on to survive. The Olds won’t be in any shape to rebuild anything.

            They had their shot, and this is what they did with it. I agree, but just because they’re our parents doesn’t mean their generation made good decisions.

              Oh noooo no no no. Totally not what I’m saying. Their generation fucked us. For sure.

                I agree 100%, that’s what I’m saying. Don’t let the compassion for your family overwhelm your rational thoughts that confirm Boomers have fucked Earth royally. Millennials aren’t far behind (said as one).

                  Right, I wasn’t. I was just saying I love ma moms and I don’t want her to die ever, but that generation needs to go for the betterment of mankind, hopefully. (Probably not though.)

    So I threw some stones into a bowl of old boston tea leaves soaked in essential oils, boiled in a hand carved Amethyst geode bowl over burning piles of sage and dried aged red oak shavings for 6 hours under the red moon and it said about 5 to 15 years minimum.

    It gets better when you get used to this problem and something far worse comes along, making you wish you just had the original problem.
