You need an emotional outlet. If crying doesn’t work for you, perhaps some sort of art or music will. The simplest thing is to take an old pen and the back of some old printer paper and try to express your feelings in pen strokes. You don’t have to draw anything. Just scribble. You could learn or relearn a musical instrument, master the wheel in a pottery class, or just go down in the basement and sing to the furnace while the dryer is running. Creative outlets and expression can be an excellent way to cry without crying. Maybe origami, or wood carving, or paper mache, or baking cupcakes. Embrace the creative and put yourself into it.

No Stupid Questions•Why does postal voting favour the American Democratic Party?
37·8 days agoWhen you can control where the polling locations are, you can drastically under serve areas that don’t vote republican. This discourages or even makes completely impossible voting in some areas. I live in a wealthy republican suburb. In the last 25 years there has never been much of a line to vote at any time of day. I can usually get in, vote, and be out in 15 minutes. Within a 20 minute drive of me, there are polling locations that have lines which take many hours to get through. Many people have to take time off of work, or leave their kids home alone to vote. Some people can’t stand in line for that long due to health issues.
While mail in voting enables traveling businessmen, college students, military, the elderly and sick to vote - which probably doesn’t overly favor either party - it does disrupt the polling location engineering which is intentionally designed to favor one party over the other.

Vermont•The 2010 Citizens United decision by the US Supreme Court has allowed corporate "dark" money to buy political influence for an unnamed few. Prof Robert Reich suggests how we can act locallyEnglish
4·10 days agoThe US supreme court just agreed to hear a case whether bribery should be legal. An Ohio politician who was convicted of accepting millions in bribes says that he delivered the legislation that they paid him to deliver. He argues politicians should be allowed to accept payment for legislation. The US Supreme Court thought the arguments were reasonable and decided to hear the case.
Sometimes my feet can be really smelly. I hate it when I go to someone’s house where they expect me to pull my shoes off. Yes, odor eater powder helps, but I never know if removing my shoes is going to knock them out. Especially in the summer. It is better to just never go to other people’s houses.

The Trump-Epstein Files•The right saying that the left wants to forcibly transition kids was, again, projection.English
28·19 days agoSome how he made people feel safe about sharing their darkest fantasies and innermost perverted thoughts. There is an art to getting people to open up like that. I bet he was a good listener and at least part psychiatrist (feeding the perversion rather than “curing” them)
graycubetoPolitical Memes•It's like her friends joking about body count and your date tries to change the subject.
74·19 days agoDo you think the billionaires and power-corrupt went cold turkey with their vices when Epstein was arrested? I don’t either. Someone else has stepped up to fill those shoes. Who? Can they be brought down too? While the evidence around the dead guy is fascinating and should be brought to light, we should also be spending energy catching his replacement.
Green - like $100 bills.

Unpopular Opinion•I support violence against ICE. Lemmy is already Reddit 2.0. (It's a 2-for-1).English
3·29 days agoIt is inevitable that the thugs will eventually poke the wrong sleeping bear. If even one ICE agent gets damaged I think we can expect the full force of the government and military to come down on everyone. When that happens there is probably no point in nonviolent response. Chaos will ensue.
