This is a tumblelog, kinda like a blog but with short-form, mixed-media posts with stuff I like. Scroll down a bit to start reading, or a bit more to read more about me.
It fucking happened again. Another shooting, more innocent victims, more families torn apart. Today, several people were killed and several more were injured by a shooter at a Jacksonville’s Madden gaming event. I can’t believe that mass shootings are so commonplace that no one is really surprised when another one happens. This is not ok. We need to make changes, and we need to make them now.
Oh you do NOT want to get me started on this issue
Anyway here’s a short list:
• universal background checks
• banning of all automatic and semiautomatic weapons
• “red flag” laws
• laws that prevent known abusers from obtaining weapons
That’s basically all already law in the US.
Federal background checks on all guns sold by gun dealers in the US started in 1994 under the Brady Act.
Automatic firearms were banned in 1986 under the Hughes Amendment.
“red flag” laws exist in a bunch of states and are a pretty clear violation of due process but that’s neither here nor there.
The only thing here that isn’t already law is a ban on semi-auto firearms.
Why do semi-automatic weapons need to be banned? Are you telling me I can’t carry a simple handgun for self defense? or that my 75 year duck hunting shotgun should be banned?
I refuse to stoop to your level of petty debate
That wasn’t petty. He literally quoted facts in a impartial way.
Yeah and disproved you.
This is what happens when only those who argue from emotions are faced with facts. They shut down.
Surprise, surprise leave it to pseudoscience conspiracy theory news (I use news as a loose term here) agency to keep the right-wing grasping at straws.
By now we have all likely experienced at least one instance of negative self-talk. Perhaps we got a bad grade on a test and we feel stupid. Maybe we spoke improperly in a business meeting and think that we blew the big deal. We may have even feel that we talked ourselves out of a job interview and will surely lose that opportunity. No matter the circumstances, there are ways to negate the negative we’re feeling about ourselves in those moments. Because this is such a wide spread phenomenon, Psych2Go would like to offer a list to counteract that negativity we may have in our heads.
1. Learn how to identify the negative self-talk
You might not even realize that you are sticking yourself with negative self-talk. Many times it is chalked up to regular thinking after there has been a mistake. Thinking “well that was embarrassing” or “well, that was a mistake” are normal thoughts that anyone can have after that type of situation. The issue arises when you start to really…
9 out of 10 times these so called negative self talk are based on truth and fact. Why lie to yourself and seem to make yourself feel better, when there are no evidence or support to provide that claim?
Besides, unless you really live in a world full of support, you would t have this problem. Someone said it takes 7 positive comments to make up 1 negative comment.
It’s just called reality. Don’t lie to yourself and put up your hopes too high, you’ll crash and burn. Learn how to live with it.
This is probably the best thing I’ve seen for sale today. I can’t think of the amount of times I’ve thought that someone needs to sell a giant sticker of an old Asian man. Well, now my dreams have been realised, and yours can be too.
Hear me out. When you set your expectations to the lowest you dare to go, when things do turn out as you expected then hey, you aren’t surprised and no disappointment.
If it turns out better than you expected? What a treat!
