You're not #powerless. You don't have control, but you're not powerless. You are powerless in the moment, but you have a #mind that you can guide. You can tell it what to do and you can make it do things you don't know you can make it do. That mind is a #tool; it's not you. You are not #thinking.

"we as individuals become ever more #powerless , unable to challenge anything, because we live a #state of confusion and uncertainty. To which the response is: #LOL LOL LMAO. But that is what they want you to say." - December 31, 2014 BBC (11+ years ago)

Have you ever #caught yourself being #controlling, or snapping at someone, because you felt #scared or #powerless about something else?

We’re trained to do that. We live in a #culture that says the only way to feel #powerful is to #dominate someone else: a #boss at #work, a #partner at #home. It’s a #trauma response to a #world that makes us feel small.

The Case for a #Total #Crypto #Ban in #Politics
Crypto’s promise of "financial innovation" has become a #smokescreen for old-fashioned #corruption at the highest levels in our country. While #cryptocurrency may have uses for ordinary #citizens, ownership by #elected #officials presents unique and #dangerous #conflicts of interest that existing #laws are #powerless to stop. Here is why we need a total ban:

All powerlessness is just a pretense.
Even in your feeblest moment, you are still powerful enough to exercise choice, and you must always hold this very close to your heart.

The #DOJ seemed to frustrate Young on Thursday by arguing he as the judge is #powerless to enforce his ruling that the #Trump admin’s targeted #deportations were #unconstitutional.

“All issues related to the initiation of removal proceedings…must be channeled into #immigration court,” DOJ atty Paul Stone said. “There isn’t any remedy that the court can offer.”

“You’re telling me there is no remedy?” an astonished Young replied.

“That’s what the statutes require,” Stone said.

It’s going to hell…

...and I feel so powerless, useless, worthless, and a bit scared... I can't go into all the details, but my male ex is not keeping his promises, he's not keeping up his obligations, and this now puts us into a situation that I feel terrible about. If it goes wrong all the way, it will end up causing me to be in debt, and I'll need to find a way to work through that... If that should happen. But, the way things have been going, I feel like it will happen, and I just don't understand why... There are better ways for my ex to deal with this, some of them could even end up making him some money instead of costing us, and causing me to get into serious financial troubles... And I don't understand why he won't "just" do that, I don't understand why he's taking the worst way possible... I feel so bad, as I'm bullied into a situation where I can only seem to lose big time. While all I've done is try to help him... For over 12 years already... I want this to end, and part of me even would welcome the bad ending, because I may be in a shitty place then for several years to come, at least then I know that there will be an end to it all. Finally... […]
