I neglected to think about that, thank you. I’ll edit my comment.

Wow, I totally read your previous comment as starting with the word “ironically” and not ironlily (multiple times). Thank you

Please note the original link is NOT spoiler free. I was really disappointed since the movie descriptions were great and I was collecting these to watch, but I got to “Good Boy” and it literally has the “big twist” of the movie written out in bold.

I KNOW it’s not good, I KNOW my shtummy will hurt after, but I don’t remember ever trying taco bell in my life and I am so insanely curious about it. There are none nearby where I live and I don’t drive. It’s been ages that I’ve had this burning curiosity. I already decided that once I get to go I will be ordering a crunchwrap (idk the menu but this is the item I hear the most people talk about).

I think it’s more a reference to pausing the doom scrolling which is maybe a habit to avoid the boredom or discomfort of the current situation, and trying to focus on enjoying that. Enjoying your time eating lunch or dinner, and focusing on that, instead of scrolling or watching a video always. Enjoying a walk without a podcast or music. Enjoying the comfort of being safe and warm in bed instead of distracting from thoughts. Things like that. It’s a skill you build and as you build it you will be more open to getting dopamine from sources other than doomscrolling. Other benefits include being able to manage uncomfortable thoughts and feelings better and also have the boredom and discomfort drive you to do other things. Of course this works best when paired with things like DBT skills to help with thoughts and emotions.

I don’t live in Guelph, but I know a few who do, and have also briefly read from others complaints about the transit system in Guelph. Sure it’s better than it is in some other places in Canada, but that’s a looooow bar. Toronto has the best transit that I know in Ontario, and there’s still a lot of shortcomings with it.

Here’s an article that gives a bit more info on Guelph transit system. It seems that there’s some disagreement on whether it is actually “bad” or not in the article. To be fair, I’m biased as to what qualifies as a good transportation network, as most people from this community would be.

It’s spoken about in the video, but a woman called Kris that worked for Mr Beast had some controversy come about I think grooming children or being a pedophile (not sure about details). Mr Beast feigned ignorance about it, but the guy in the OP video claims it was an “open secret everybody knew”. He also says it’s even worse than “just” that because Mr Beast’s company specifically works with understanding how to manipulate child psychology and bring children in, and videos etc have brought minors into easier access by Kris.

You might be getting a lot of weird right wing shit because Kris is a trans woman and a common right wing accusation against trans people is that they are pedophiles.

Holy shit tell me about it, but I kinda thought maybe I was just being paranoid about it because of all the money that he has put towards philanthropic things.
