@dubsndoo Boomers were taught how to handle their money, and cook. Then it was removed from school curriculums.

Boomers didn’t buy RVs that they couldn’t afford, we tented it. Boomers didn’t buy new cars, we bought used ones. Boomers didn’t spend six bucks for a cup of coffee at Starbucks. Boomers could hang all their clothes in a four foot closet. Boomers didn’t cry how tough their lives were, we fought through the tough times. Boomers have everything they have because they managed their money, didn’t squander it on frivolous things, and invested it in proven technologies and long term successful businesses. Boomers have zero fucks to give for whiners, fools, and couch potatoes.

تشارلز ديكنز كان يحارب اكتئابه بالمشي في شوارع لندن ليلاً. في أحد أيام أكتوبر، خرج في الثانية صباحاً ومشى ٣٠ ميلاً كاملة حتى وصل إلى منزله الريفي في كنت. في عام ١٨٦٠ كتب عن سبب نجاح ذلك. استغرق الأمر من علم النفس ١٥٠ عاماً أخرى ليدرك ذلك. كان ديكنز يطلق على نوباته السيئة «أشباح». كانت تعود كلما بدأ رواية جديدة، وأحياناً تستمر لشهور. كان مزاجه ينهار، ونومه يضطرب، والشيء الوحيد الذي كان يخرجه من ذلك هو المشي. شرح طريقته في مقالة بعنوان «Night Walks»، نُشرت في ٢١ يوليو ١٨٦٠ في مجلته الأسبوعية «All the Year Round». جرب مقاومة الأرق من السرير وخسر. لذا غير الخطة. الحل، كما كتب، هو «النهوض فور الاستلقاء، والخروج، والعودة متعباً عند شروق الشمس». العقل القلق لا يمكنه إصلاح نفسه بالقلق أكثر في السرير. عليك النهوض والتحرك. في معظم الليالي كان يمشي من ١٢ إلى ٢٠ ميلاً. وصف صديق ذلك بـ«المشي العنيف». كتب ديكنز أن «الذات المتجولة» كان لديها «أميال وأميال من الشوارع التي تستطيع، وفعلت، أن تسلك طريقها المنفرد». اليوم، المشي هو أحد أقوى الأدوات التي يمتلكها الأطباء ضد الاكتئاب. في عام ٢٠١٢ جمع فريق من الباحثين ثماني دراسات عالية الجودة عن المشي كعلاج للاكتئاب. كان التأثير قوياً مثل مضادات الاكتئاب التي يصفها الأطباء فعلياً. أكبر اختبار جاء من جامعة ديوك. دراسة SMILE أخذت ٢٠٢ بالغاً يعانون من اكتئاب شديد وقسمتهم إلى أربع مجموعات: تمارين تحت إشراف، تمارين في المنزل، الدواء زولوفت، أو حبة وهمية. بعد ١٦ أسبوعاً، كان أداء من مارسوا التمارين جيداً مثل من تناولوا زولوفت. وأكدت مراجعة عام ٢٠٢٤ لـ٧٥ دراسة شملت ٨٦٣٦ مريضاً ذلك. يجب أن يكون المشي من الأشياء الأولى التي يجربها الأطباء. السبب هو الشيء الذي اكتشفه ديكنز في الظلام. يعتمد الاكتئاب على التفكير المتكرر (الرومينيشن)، الأفكار السيئة الدائرية التي تطحن الإنسان في أسوأ الفترات. في عام ٢٠١٥، فحص باحثون من ستانفورد أدمغة الناس قبل وبعد مشي ٩٠ دقيقة في حديقة هادئة. أظهر المشاة نشاطاً أقل في جزء من الدماغ يُدعى القشرة الأمامية تحت الثفنية. هذا المكان، عميق خلف جبهتك، هو حلقة القلق في الدماغ. بعد المشي، هدأت حلقة القلق. قال المشاة إنهم شعروا بأنهم أقل انحباساً داخل رؤوسهم. وافقت صور الدماغ على ذلك. الجسم الذي يمشي يسكت العقل الضاج. الشارع يأخذ الانتباه، وإيقاع المشي يملأ الرأس، وتفقد النوبات المظلمة قبضتها. سمى ديكنز الشوارع علاجه لأنها أعطت دماغه مكاناً آخر يتواجد فيه. يقول العلم بعد ١٥٠ عاماً إنه كان على حق. الاكتئاب يكره الدماغ الذي يتحرك. @anishmoonka

@HabsScott Dobes?

Suzuki is elite Hutson is elite Caufield is on the verge of elite Slaf is really good. Will be elite Demi is really good. Will be elite 5 guys on the same team. It's going to be an amazing decade. #Habs

@NHL_Muse What is Dobes’ salary?

One of the scariest things about the Canadiens is how UNREAL these contracts are 😳💰 Cole Caufield — $7.85M until 2031
Nick Suzuki — $7.88M until 2030
Juraj Slafkovský — $7.60M until 2033
Lane Hutson — $8.85M until 2034 Best young core in hockey right now? 👇

@FTMarketslive Sometimes silence isnt the truth its just the space where misunderstandings grow. 1 honest conversation can erase years of wrong assumptions right!!

Stop trading Nylander. Just stop. He's never given any sign of him maybe not wanting to be in Toronto. He loves the city, the fans, and the logo. He spends good chunks of his offseason in Toronto. His deals were always good ones. He always performs in the playoffs. Stop it.

@JayOnSC @TSN_Sports I’m thinking Sabres but only cuz the Habs must be exhausted after that last series.

Who do you think has the edge in the Canadiens-Sabres series?

@TLNdc A. To the people who think he’s floating, he’s playing you. He’s like a panther prowling around looking for the play; hiding then pouncing. Plus his off ice presence is through the roof.

What grade would you give William Nylander for the 2025-26 season? 📸: Sergei Belski-Imagn Images Read More Here💻| theleafsnation.com/news/william-n…

@HabsOnReddit So many heroes on this team! Goalie, goal scores, play makers, coach! Amazing.

Lane Hutson in the 1st round for the Habs: • 2 goals • 4 assists • 6 points in 7 games • 1 OT winner • 14 shots • 27:23 mins per game • 11 points in 12 career playoff games • 22 years old

BREAKING: Golden Tempo wins the Kentucky Derby after coming from dead last His rider, Jose Ortiz, is a devout Christian and shared this Bible verse before the race “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me” Nothing is impossible with God. ✝️

@Ozoon_CA Charlottetown.

Less than 2 months away.

@Moonlight_myths Not justifying the slap but I’d like to hear more details from him. He should probably be counseled that you play video games when you’re alone.

I'm a mom to a 13 year old boy, and I'm still in shock over what he did. He's been seeing a girl from his class for a few months, and yesterday she came to our house. While I was downstairs cooking dinner, I suddenly heard crying and rushed upstairs. I found his girlfriend in tears, covering her face. When I asked what was wrong, my son said she ruined his video game. Then I asked her what happened, and she said my son had slapped her. I was really upset but knew hitting back wasn't the solution. So, I took the girl to the kitchen to help her calm down. When her mom came to pick her up, I apologized for my son's behavior and suggested they take some time apart for now…

Quite often people ‘standing up’ for something are actually running from it.

I’m sick of lukewarm Christians and unbelievers twisting Scripture to justify cowardice. “Love your neighbor” and “love your enemies” does NOT mean affirming sin, excusing evil, or staying silent while people walk straight toward destruction. That’s not love, that’s apathy dressed up as virtue. Biblical love is bold. It tells the truth. It warns. It confronts. It cares more about someone’s eternal soul than their temporary comfort. Real love says: repent, turn to God, and receive the free gift of salvation, because hell is real and truth matters. The modern church has perverted love into tolerance. But love that refuses to speak truth is not love at all, it’s betrayal.

@Biblicalman At the conclusion of a hard-fought playoff hockey game on Sunday, opposing players met a center ice, put their arms around each other, and prayed. Fans paused and felt God’s presence.

@kedenke @wil_da_beast630 Do you get a tax receipt?

@wil_da_beast630 I do not donate cash anymore. I buy specific items for specific purposes: for example, food for the local women & children's shelter. Not cash, not blind donations, not tithing. Food and household goods for a specific local charity.

Surprising amount of charity is of this kind. My ex, Tess, and I used to give to Koala Rescue. Years later, I found that they just sort of assign you a random ~bear that lives outdoors. Hundreds of people have the same one. Your money doesn't buy it food (they only eat one thing), but rather goes to support various green causes. Etc.

@CennoCapital @kedenke @wil_da_beast630 Do you get the tax benefit doing it this way?

@kedenke @wil_da_beast630 Same, I donate crack to the local homeless people directly

This is probably the best answer I've ever heard to the question, "Why did God create evil?" A professor at the university asked his students the following question: “Everything that exists was created by God?” One student bravely answered: “Yes, it was created by God.” The professor asked : “If God created everything, then God created evil, since it exists. And according to the principle that our deeds define ourselves, then God is evil.” The student became silent after hearing such an answer. The professor was very pleased with himself. He boasted to students for proving once again that faith in God is a myth. Another student raised his hand and said: “Can I ask you a question, professor?” "Of course," replied the professor. “Professor, is cold a thing?” “What kind of question is this? Of course it exists. Have you ever been cold?” Students laughed at the young man's question. The young man answered: “Actually, sir, cold doesn't exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is actually the absence of heat. A person or object can be studied on whether it has or transmits energy. Absolute zero (-460 degrees Fahrenheit) is a complete absence of heat. All matter becomes inert and unable to react at this temperature. Cold does not exist. We created this word to describe what we feel in the absence of heat.” The student continued: “Professor, does darkness exist?” “Of course it exists.” said the professor. “You're wrong again, sir. Darkness also does not exist. Darkness is actually the absence of light. We can study the light but not the darkness. We can use Newton's prism to spread white light across multiple colors and explore the different wavelengths of each color. You can't measure darkness. A simple ray of light can break into the world of darkness and illuminate it. How can you tell how dark a certain space is? You measure how much light is presented. Isn't it so? Darkness is a term man uses to describe what happens in the absence of light.” In the end, the young man asked the professor: “Sir, does evil exist?” This time it was uncertain, the professor answered: “Of course, as I said before. We see him every day. Cruelty, numerous crimes and violence throughout the world. These examples are nothing but a manifestation of evil.” To this, the student answered: “Evil does not exist, sir, or at least it does not exist for itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is like darkness and cold—a man-made word to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is not faith or love, which exist as light and warmth. Evil is the result of the absence of Divine love in the human heart. It’s the kind of cold that comes when there is no heat, or the kind of darkness that comes when there’s no light.” 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

She was born May 10, 1976. Murdered by Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka. She should be preparing to celebrate her 50th birthday this year. But Kristen Dawn French was murdered on April 19, 1992. She was abducted on April 16th walking home from school. She endured an unimaginable 3 days at the mercy of her inhumane captors. She was 15 years old. You are never forgotten Kristen.

A cow, given grass and rain, produces: Meat. Complete protein, top of the bioavailability table. Milk. So nutritionally complete we feed it to our young. Leather. Ten thousand years of footwear. Composts when you're done. Tallow. Stable cooking fat, soap, candles. Currently being sold back to us as skincare at eight times the butcher's price. Bones. Broth, tools, fertiliser. Organs. The most nutrient-dense food on earth, ignored by the culture that buys three supplements to replace them. Manure. Grows the grass. The cycle runs again. Try to engineer that. A machine that takes rain and a patch of grass and produces six complete products while improving the soil and reproducing itself. You can't. We haven't. We're being told to eliminate them. While flying almonds in from California.
