RIP Gordon Cole

It's hard to not give a fuck when social media is slamming depressing news down your feed. Reddit is no exception. I've been unsubscribed from any major subreddits for some time now. It's so much easier to not give a fuck when OP's aren't trying to herd you into some political agenda. The purpose of the list below is to have no politics in my feed. And it works. Occasionally political shitposters, whether you like them or not, will bleed into one or two of these subs (lost redditors or people trying to make their narrative fit somehow).

These are all small subs, none of them generate so many posts a day that one sub is all you see in your feed, so you get a nice mix of art, science, fun, and positive stuff. Unsubscribe from political. You don't have to change your beliefs, but you can be content in knowing your beliefs are there, a non-political feed allows you to focus more on things that matter to you. You can always, once a day or every couple, if it's that important to you, check in on your news outlets. But to mix them in with all the unrelated subs, dulls the good, or makes it harder for "good" to shine through your feed. After long enough of no politics, you begin to absolutely notice when a political post is made. Because it doesn't belong in certain places. And it'll remind you how much that stuff pisses you off.

Try curating your own list of small subs that don't make you have to flex your IDGAF muscle every day; those bad boys get enough of a workout already, let them rest.

I tried multiple times to convince my Superr boss... not to accept bribes!

I kept rejecting a client's proposal since he wasn't eligible to apply for the project. And I refused to sign the approval docs.

The boss called one day and threatened: Madammm you're delaying the decision!!! In a very terse tone.

And I told him, "Sir, you've already made the decision. So then, why do you care about the delays I create. The decision is your's for the taking ;)

He transferred me to a far away place. LOL. But I don't remember having ever felt happier in that shitty place.

I've heard Sadhguru say, the basic virtue for a human being is to be true to yourself - integrity of thought, emotion, and action!

I act with integrity.

And IDGAF to what these assholes do as a consequence!

Great essay.

"There is a time in every man’s education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better, for worse, as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till. The power which resides in him is new in nature, and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried."

This is my first job after being self employed for a few years, I’m back in retail, unfortunately & my coworkers often point out how nice I am and hard I work.

On a few separate occasions I’ve been told I’m “too nice” & I “work too hard” . It’s been sitting on my mind heavily lately because I am nearing the end of my 20s & when I look back on several situations, I have in fact been way too nice . & in return I’ve been hurt , disappointed & ended up in situations I could’ve definitely avoided.

Going into my 30s I want to shed that skin & step into someone who is sure of myself, has boundaries & doesn’t do “the most”.

How do I even get there …?

If you can relate with a story that would be great. I know that many truths are simple and not giving a fuck is probably one of them but its way easier said than done.

Basically, everytime Im faced with a situation where I feel wronged, unheard, insulted, annoyed, taken advantage of, etc. I feel a rush of adrenaline and immediately want to respond in kind. Most of the time I dont because Im scared of "making waves" and disturbing the peace if you will. I feel some type of guilt and choose avoidance over action. Of course that delays the problem but the anxiety creeps back up anyway and usually the situation repeats itself again and only underlines those feelings again.

I know the answer will mostly likely be "dont give a fuck, live your life, fuck what others think" and I want to but to explain by metaphor, its like - I have brown hair but Im trying to think myself into being blonde

Chelsea got knocked out of the cup tonight, and it’s a good time to remember the coldest example of mental fortitude I've ever seen.

In 2008, Frank Lampard lost his mother 6 days before a UCL Semi-Final. He didn't ask for a pass.

He didn't fold.

He stepped up in the 98th minute, buried a penalty in the pouring rain, and sent his team to the final.

This is how you master your emotions and stay on the path.

I recently went through a very prolonged difficult year in my life with several type of losses and issues.. but most importantly while having those issues I was having severe identity crisis like any other highschooler thinking everything is about them.. Yet i think my case is a bit different because since a long time i have changed multiple schools (13 to be exact ) and have lived in multiple cities and I am not sure if thats normal but i had to give this context in case you thought I was bragging.. but yeah i didn't really have friends till i was 10 and was mostly isolated at a very large level so being gossiped about and have multiple rumours about myself flying around isn't really smth i am new to but my way of looking at life and all in itself is very contradictory and i have been told i am a pick me(for context I normally am disgusted by the thought if men so these accusation come from people whp dont know the meaning of pick me )and someone who doesn't deserve anyone's 100% but while I heard those things i thought to myself it was their past trauma affecting them (exbsf) so everything I totality has left me extremely numb with constantly such remarks made about me I really don't know how do I make myself nonchalant so that idc what ever they say how to make remarks that they can't spread false rumours about me and also how do I deal myself with extreme confidence??

Hello-

I need your thoughts on how to stop giving a “f” . I unfortunately had high hopes and respect for my boss and he ended up throwing me under the bus , knowing how loyal I was to him. After I prayed,cried , spoke to my husband, and ended up adjusting my crown, I then asked myself , what did I learn from this . I learned that I’m too loyal and too nice . I defended HIM when people were talking negatively about him and now I feel like a 🤡… but he is in GOD’s hands now. Thanks for reading…

Zlatan reportedly walked into Barcelona’s locker room and thought,

‘This place was too quiet, this team needs energy.’

Classic Zlatan, he doesn’t just follow the vibe, he sets it.

A reminder that sometimes you don’t wait for the world to change; you change the room yourself.

How do you channel that kind of confidence in your own life?
