It elides the personal nature, and ignores specific causes.
The story was touching. I can't offer advice, because it's your life, but i can share what helped me.
When i got bored with boilerplate, i made my own frame works to make the boilerplate mine and bearable.
I made tools i love to use.
This made it better and less boring.
When i lose interest in things or feel I'm losing my spark...i consider what am i not saying that i really feel. How am i not living my true authentic life.
And then i start closing that gap. Saying what i want to say. How i really feel. Doing what i want to do.
It's not easy. Bridges sometimes are burned. Connections lost. Opportunities declined.
But i feel i get closer to the life i really want. And that let's me feel lighter and want to get up everyday and enjoy it. When I've got confidence my choices will lead me to a path that i will increasingly like, instead of feel like they're trapping me in one that i don't want.
I'm also careful with my diet. And double these efforts when I'm feeling off. Minimize processed foods, and increasing vegetables.
And meditating and relaxing.
I find this keeps me balanced, centered and me. And then what i want to do occurs natrally.
And i just follow some ideas i have. And don't try to start something that will be too hard for me or take me too long.
If i don't want to do something i don't do it.
Like i said, not advice, because it's your life, your choices and you're different to me, and i don't want the karma nor the responsibility of affecting your path.
But just sharing what helps me, because maybe they can inspire you and help let you feel things can be okay.
I think what actually happened is the real killer is dead, and was unfortunately somebody prominent, but they needed to close out the case for the benefit of the public, so they found someone on an unrelated rape/murder charge who was cooperative
What, no mention of Hong Kong? This clearly must be Chinese propaganda, quick flag and remove it, oh ye noblest and most righteousest HNers, or have you forgotten about your "beloved" HKers and their "righteous" cause...?
In other news Australia IC, seems to really be getting slammed and dragged through the mud lately... What. A. Shame.
Not to mention walking into the trap set by Chinese FM to make the SO abuse story blow up for a bit longer. "The image is clearly doctored...", news cycle spins for a bit longer
And how many of those could be avoided if people had acted in compliance with police orders, or had chose to not present themselves as a possible threat, or had not been breaking the law?
Unfortunately I think people do not take police seriously, and then falsely blame them when something goes bad as a result of their own mistakes. People, it seems, are forgetting their personal responsibility in interactions with police, as well as pretending that police authority is some made up flexible concept they can bend at their own will. That is the mindset of a lawbreaker, that people who are now otherwise law breakers fall into the trap of, directly as a result of these fabricated narratives of "police brutality". The worst case is they try to use the law and procedure they don't act like they respect, against the police to try to get loopholes for their own bad behavior, and then cry foul when that same law and procedure is used on them, by people given the duty to do such. Unsmart.
If you don't wish you be in situations where you are subject to police force, don't put yourself in such situations, and if you end up in such situations, comply with all police orders. Anything less than full and willing compliance, will raise more questions and the officers will register you as a potential threat.
It's not the time to show your anti-authoritarian streak, it's not edgy or cool in that context. It doesn't prove you are strong or smart, it just proves you are stupid. Your only instinct should be legal and physical self-preservation. If you don't act in your own interests, and then blame police when things don't go your way, you'd be better off learning to blame your own stupidity.
Everything here relates the present time, not the past, and to Westernized or rule of law countries, like China. If you are in a place where police are unfortunately corrupt, and likely to frame you or target you because of your background, or to extract a bribe, or as a favor to someone else, then leave those places immediately, and if you can't or won't, I don't have any advice for you. Hopefully the guidance here helps some people avoid bad consequences.
But I think it's "anti-American" to deliberately editorialize and misrepresent the police as illegally violent and biased, when the facts are otherwise:
- black people kill black people far more than police or white people kill black people, but the dominant story about it is, police violence is at fault
- police have to deal with 1000s of violent encounters with unstable and dangerous individuals every week, and aside from security guards, they're the only officers in civilian society authorized to use physical force, and each year dozens of uniformed officers are killed[0] and thousands are violently assaulted[1], but again, the dominant propaganda is the fake story about the "plague of police violence" against "poor innocent victims"
If some officers murdered people, and that's enough to produce this persistent propaganda about "police brutality", then the dozens of murders and thousands of assaults by people against police should be enough to create a greater story about "anti-police brutality" -- but it's not. The "police brutality" narrative is a lie that's trying to be born as truth through endless repetition, spread by corrupt and irresponsible media. It's obviously propaganda and a divisive tactic, but people lap it up. It's very, very sad, that it is used as an outlet for people, who twistedly see it as a way to vent their unrelated frustrations, with someone to incorrectly blame, a "cause" to disguise their anger about their other problems. The same tactics are used to recruit and radicalize terrorists.
One of the saddest thing's about these myths is how they are being used to whip up anti police sentiment, which funnels into anti police violence, which results in really bad outcomes for the perpetrators, who probably were otherwise OK people, but got deluded by this propaganda into making mistakes that ruined their lives, and the lives of others.
But, go on, keep spreading this delusion and apologizing for violence against police, like idiots, manipulated by forces you don't understand.
What's interesting is all the sheep coming to say, "Hey, actually I'm an individual!" even tho 1000-ands of times they've shat on individuals and celebrated the collective, even the collective lynching of individuals that were too "divergent" for their fickle and arbitrary collective tastes.
Now, when an "authority" a "leader of a pack" shows up and says "Individual think good", the sheep bleat ever louder, "me good", "no cull".
So ridiculous. You're all (mostly) sheep. Sheep in your condemnation of this celebration of individuality, sheep in the illogic of it, given that you've merrily discarded and excluded individuality for the thrill of "collective righteousness", now, in collective unison you've come to proclaim, either or any of:
- I am individual, I peace
- I am sheep-dividual hybrid but that smart, I peace
- PG is wrong on principle, therefore sheep good, I peace
You are all (commenters against, here) the first morons to leap at passing criticism on anything divergent from your groupthink, embracing this culture of "criticism" as a sacred ritual, but when passed against you, it is the end of the world.
This must evoke the deep unresolved insecurity at the sheep: they know they surrendered that tiny individual voice inside, and they know, on some level, that's wrong, but they need to cover that up with everything they've got, to justify and feed their sense of safety in the comfort of the herd.
Good luck to you, sheep all!
Keep telling yourself, inside, individual good, bad me give it up, and outside, individual bad, good me sheep member. I think you all should accept your duality and just get on with it, and not feel threatened by seeing the realization in other individuals of a mirror (to you) of your own unrealized individuality. Or just accept your whole sheepness, if that's what you are. Accept this paradox and just fully give up your baggage about not being individual "enough", and embrace the collective. Then you will not be so threatened and insecure when someone talks of individuality, you will know, the superiority, of the hoard! "Your individuality shall be merged into our own."
I don't care that y'all sheep. I want you to be sheep. Get out of my way. Stay outta my way. Get away from me. You're disgusting with your crazy illogical groupthink. You'll never understand the free thinkers, so don't try to impose just stay away. I want you to be secure in your collectivism. Because then you won't be so prone to attack the individuals that cross your paths. Be secure. Be confident. I don't care that it seems wrong or illogical to me. There's value in the collective. IF YOU ARE SHEEP, FUCKING EMBRACE IT. Yes, sheep are cowards, but there's literally gathousands of you, so just fucking EMBRACE IT. Surrender to your sheepness, and find, please, your own version of transcendent bliss, so we can all of us get back to being ourselves without interfering in others through triggered projected insecurities sparked from difference. Just be your fucking sheepself, and enjoy it.
You see me outside the herd? Just ignore. Go back to eating grass, and get full belly and feel good. OK?
Excellent pro TS propaganda, and apologism for exploding complexity.
I love the idea of type checking, but the implementation of it seems buggy. tsc checkJS will make incorrect type inferences and throw errors about situations that won't happen, and it does this inconsistently, seemingly dependent on the syntax, for instance that a new promise's resolve function is possibly undefined.
We are just developing our "global civilizational immune system". Life is dangerous for humans. We can die many ways. How can we become safer?
Assume people everywhere are good, just like body tissues, but sometimes, like disease, people or a group of people "turn bad" for "no reason". The bad things, like diseases, have ways to attack the good tissues. The good things, healthy tissues, need ways to fight back against the diseases, the ways being the immune system, which needs to develop "bad ways" to get rid of the "bad tissues".
There will always be random bad things happening in the body, "for no reason", cosmic rays, aged-related decline. Immune system needs ways to get rid of bad stuff. So the immune system has to develop "bad ways" to overpower and get rid of the "bad stuff", to protect the "good stuff", the healthy tissues.
That's like society, and humanity as a whole.
Does that mean that the diseases won't steal (horizontal gene transfer, independently evolve) the same "bad ways" the immune system uses to protect the good? No. But that happens. If immune system said, "No, we can no longer protect the good tissues because our weapons against the bad may fall into the wrong hands," obviously the body would die.
It's because of our advances that many humans find "war" to be this strange, foreign, nonsensical thing. Precisely because we have been able to craft "citadels of peace", can people have this "post-urban" perspective that separates the "means of peace production" from the daily experience of people. This perspective is a historical anomaly. Everything we have today is built on a deep foundation of blood and death, which in the past, was a lot more "in the face" of everyday people.
The only accurate, historical conclusion is that weaponry and war have been a necessary and ever present part of our development.
I think one day "human global village" will evolve to where we don't want to fight or kill each other anymore. But, then, we will encounter "hostile alien species", and we will need weapons to protect us from them. Unfortunately the need for weapons and defenses is ever present.
War is just a fact of civilization, the contemporary surprise with which is a testament to how successful we have been at building civilizations that can let people feel a sense of peace. That success is based, in part, on weaponry and war.
One success of civilization is how peaceful it can become, but a major means of civilization is, war and weaponry.
This sounds like depression
