ellauri077.html on line 766: The Stoics taught that we should accept whatever is outside our control. “Do you really think you can make a bad situation any worse by complaining about it?” Yes we can! I have tried to make this my own practice, and have tried to complain about things that happen. But not out loud! Marcus Aurelius said: “Don’t be overheard complaining… Not even to yourself.” Mutter your complaints under your breath.
ellauri263.html on line 391: Both dramas rely on protagonists entrusted with critical jobs despite routinely reckless behaviour. Both test your patience. In the case of Fauda, it’s not just the politics but also the relentless machismo; midway into the second series it feels like watching interchangeable rooms full of men in guns and distressed denim, each at some point telling a female character: “Don’t worry, I’ll get us out of here.”
ellauri408.html on line 346: It was like a father placing poisoned milk before two babies and saying “Don’t drink the milk or you will surely die!” Of course the babies, not knowing any better, are going to drink the milk. Who is at fault for the babies’ deaths? Of course the fault lies completely with the evil father, as it does with the evil Jehovah.
xxx/ellauri091.html on line 342: In review, The New Yorker uses strong emotionally loaded headlines such as “Don’t Underestimate Elizabeth Warren and Her Populist Message” and “Is Fraud Part of the Trump Organization’s Business Model?” The New Yorker also publishes satirical articles from satirist Andy Borowitz through his Borowitz Report, such as “Trump Offers to Station Pence at Border with Binoculars in Lieu of Wall.” The Borowitz Report always favors the left and mocks the right. Further, The New Yorker provides original in-depth journalistic reporting such as this: Four Women Accuse New York’s Attorney General of Physical Abuse. The result of this investigation led to the Attorney General resigning just hours after the New Yorker published the story. In general, both wording and story selection tends to mostly favor the left.

Often, it’s us doing the breaking — and often prematurely. I know it would be best for all concerned for me to break the skyscraper rule asap, but I'm going to give it some time. I'm wonderful. I want to fall gently like a snowflake.
