he had sent text messages pledging to “fucking murder” shoplifters outside a Chicago pharmacy before later shooting two people to death during racial justice protests in Wisconsin in 2020.

That was before he went to Kenosha.

And honestly, we all knew he did it on porpouse. This is nothing new. Blowing this up and giving it more attention just furthers the right's hero worship of him.

More attention makes it worse. It makes him an Icon and martyr for the white supremacists.

And that's exactly why we shouldn't give him attention and media space.

He is a "right-wing darling" because of articles and documentaries like that. He is triggering a negative reaction from the other side and that's why he's hailed a hero by the right.

More attention makes it worse.

Once upon a time, I was working briefly in a catholic hospital, a childrens and ob/gyn no less.
As I started there, I was looking for the standards of care. All of my other workplaces had folders and folders of these standards outlining common tasks and problems in the field and how to treat them. A common tool of quality management.

The only one I found was on how employees should act and behave in case of accusations of mistreatment and sexual abuse. Against anyone affiliated with the hospital or church. Who is to speak to involved parties and press and what employees are (not) allowed to say and do. Nothing about how to treat or help the patient. Only about keeping harm away from the institution.

Should have left right then and there. But I only made it 6 months anyways.

Why is this waste of space still in the news? And a documentary? Seriously? Can we please ignore him going forward and let him be forgotten, unimportant and inconsequential in a hole, like this litte rat deserves?

Thank you. I always needed more support than these light and lacy bras can give you, so I was always going for more sturdy ones. But I don't think I ever owned a sportsbra, so your commemt had me stumped. Maybe its time to get one and test it.

This is because the whole calling and writing to references everytime you look for a new job is not a thing in Germany.

She was just so great in everything she did. She is one if these people that need an own Wikipedia article for her Awards because they are too many to list in the main entry.

Did you know she played grown Wendy Darling to Robin Williams' Peter Pan in Hook?

Uhm... exuse me, but could you explain that life changing difference? I have honestly no idea.

Use something mellow in a different language from your own, it is less distracting.

I like to listen to brasilian Bossa Nova like this Getz/Gilberto Album

Or something without lyrics like Yiruma if you like Piano music.

Why so complicated? You just get on and do what you want as long as you feel like it. Want to go fast? Go fast. Want to go up the hill? Turn up the resistance. Just want to pedal along for a while? Just pedal.

Of course you can set yourself times and goals, if that makes it more effective for you, but you don't have to make it too hard for yourself by implementing rules.
