Me: shows up to therapy as a simmering cauldron of low self-esteem and negative self-talk
Therapist: gets me to talk about these things

What Happened To The Prison Guards Of Dachau Concentration Camp When It Was Liberated?
Walenty Lenarczyk, a prisoner at Dachau, stated that following the camp’s liberation "prisoners swarmed over the wire and grabbed the Americans and lifted them to their shoulders… other prisoners caught the SS men.

What Is The Referee Doing When He Grabs The Wrists Of A Fighter After They’ve Been Knocked Down?
First and foremost he is ensuring the fighter is lucid and responsive.
First thing he does is grab the gloves and wipe the knuckle area(s) on his shirt as they likely picked up some dirt/sand/debris from the ring floor.
He often requests the fighter tries to bring his hands up against resistance, expecting a decent push (if it is weak, he will end the fight).
He will instruct the fighter to bring his hands to the defensive position and reaffirm the fighter is lucid and in control.
Why Do Japanese Homes Lose All Their Value After 15 Years?
Japanese homes only last an average of 30 years, and lose all of their value after 15. As a result, rather than being an investment that a family can build equity in, Japanese homewoners scrimp and save only to see what is often their life’s biggest investment lose 1/15th of its value each year. How did this come to be?
After WW2, the Japanese slapped together a lot of crudely built homes to house its population.
Those home were so shoddy that they didn’t have much resale value, years later, as it was actually cheaper to tear them down and rebuild them than to repair them. And that became kind of a “thing,” in Japan.

“You’ll just know.” This was my mother’s vague response when I asked her how to know if you’re in love with someone, and needless to say, I was less than enthused by her response. To be honest, it seemed like a cop-out. Why, I wondered, can’t anyone seem to accurately describe what being in love feels like? We’ve all heard rom-com movie characters talk about fireworks and pop stars sing about the all-consuming obsession that comes with a new romance, but is that really love? Or is it just infatuation? How can you tell whether you’re just experiencing fiery passion or you’ve truly fallen for someone?

How Did Jesus’s Death Save Humanity?
According to Christian belief, Jesus Christ saved humanity from sin by taking on the punishment for our sins through his death on the cross and subsequent resurrection.
In Christian theology, humanity’s disobedience to God, known as “sin,” created a separation between God and humans. This separation made it impossible for people to attain eternal life with God. However, Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross served as a substitute for the punishment that humans deserved for their sins.
By accepting Jesus’ sacrifice, Christians believe that they are forgiven for their sins and are reconciled with God. In this way, Jesus’ death and resurrection serve as the means of salvation for believers, allowing them to have eternal life with God.
The concept of Jesus saving humanity from sin is a central tenet of Christian belief and is often referred to as the “atonement.”
