You need practice at concentrating on your work.
In the same way you’d work out to build muscle strength, your mind needs regular training to stay in shape.
Start with sensible, achievable goals and improve over time.

How long did you take the meds for? How long ago did you stop?
I’ve been a volunteer treasurer for several medium sized non-profits.
You should have a think about what sort of charity resonates with you. Like education support, homelessness, legal support, drug rehabilitation, et cetera.
Then call a few in your area and tell them you’re considering a bequest, and would like to understand some more about their organisation and how the money is used. 1
In places with “hard” water (lots of calcium) you tend to get a calcium plaque in the pan after several years. It will absorb any iron in the water and turn brown.
It’s pretty much a rock growing on the porcelain. A brush won’t move it.
Exactly. Reporting on what Trump does rather than what he says does not require you to ignore nazi rhetoric.
You can report on the behaviour without breathlessly trotting out every sentence.
The actual story is that Trump is using nazi phrases to stoke furore, generate headlines, and galvanise his base. It’s so tiresome that it’s working so well.
That’s not what I said.
You can acknowledge the behaviour without reporting on every utterance (which is what he wants).
I think that’s exactly what’s happened with Trump, is that deviance has been defined down in the sense that there’s so much focus on, it’s almost like an overload of sorts. The result is, you just don’t see it — it’s almost like he’s kind of normalizing this on some level. Even as outrageous as he can be, it’s been very difficult, I think, for people to maintain a consistent vigilance and see the threat that he represents because it’s kind of overwhelming, really, in many respects.
Precisely why this article shouldn’t exist. This article is normalising the behaviour. Reporton what he does, not what he says.
How do you wet the TP? 😭
This is heresay and supposition but… I suspect the Columbian government is trying to figure out how to secure the value represented by the find, and the archaeological angle is one way to do that.
I don’t know anything about Columbia but I assume there’s some corrupt government officials there somewhere. Billions might not be a lot when talking about a country’s budget, but this isn’t part of their budget. Any gold that makes its way into someone’s pocket is fair game.
Again supposition but… I wonder whether Spain would have any claim on it if it wasn’t considered archaeologically significant.
Yeah I do this to break my inertia.
“I’m not actually going to do any work, just clear my desk, then 5 minutes youtube”
“I’m not actually going to do any work, I’m just going to get my books / laptop out, then do whatever thing for 5 minutes”
… and so on …
