And who checks the validity of those answers, and who checks the validity of the person checking the answers, but then who checks the validity of the people checking the validity of the person checking the validity, I think I’m stuck, this doesn’t stop

I’ve loved this discovery. I no longer people please in any way shape or form, nor do I care. I’ve just lost whatever stupid hold living up to other people’s expectations, had over me, after so many early years of it being drilled into me. Nope. Fk that.

If you’re living your life to try and appease a notion, someone else has given you that you’re “supposed to be” you aren’t really living your life, you’re living someone else’s life. By someone else’s expectations, which are probably built on absolute bullshit. A lot of what we’re brain washed to believe, as younger people, as “the way” we should live, is all perfectly aligned to feed capitalism.

We get old and we get wise to the bullshit and then they try to diminish and dismiss elder women’s voices because we can see through all the bullshit telling you how to be a “good woman” and meet everyone’s expectations. And it’s all complete bullshit designed to keep you from noticing how you really feel and following your true needs and wants. Because we don’t really need any of the bullshit they try and tell us we do. And the things we do really need, they don’t make capitalism as much money in devotion, servitude and obedience.

I absolutely love these new generations coming up, I see you all, and I absolutely worship your ways. I see you shirking the things they told us we had to abide by, and breaking all the rules and I love it. I see you building boundaries and senses of self and emotional intelligence that equals someone who has lives 4 times the years you have.

Knowing yourself, honouring yourself and making sure what you want isn’t some implied imperfection or new trinket you don’t really need, whispered into your ear and subliminally planted by a million adds, that tell you if you had “this” THEN you could be happy. But true happiness is in the exact opposite direction. True happiness is within you. It’s in nothing you own. It’s in a state of being and the way you stand in this world. It’s in your sense of self and self worth, that doesn’t relate to how much earning worth you have or what you bring to the table. You are a beautiful and mystical and deep universe, in and of yourself, without any gold adornments. We are already enough. We don’t need to perform, we are entirely enough just as we are.

I’m a classically trained musician and I was a bit of a virtuoso, so I’m trained to hear those differences. Even then, I liked the higher ratio MP3 format, the wav had too much hiss or echo for my liking. I did well on the test, apart from the Katy Perry track, it’s so overproduced! Multiple layers of her own voice, honestly that sounded best in lowest quality, lol.

Even if that were true, the real estate market is supposed to be a fluctuating thing, it’s supposed to be slow growth, it’s only very recently in history that it’s stopped having natural peaks and ebbs, and just gone straight up at rocketing rates. It’s supposed to have a buyers market (where prices are low) and a sellers market (where prices are high) but they took away the checks and blanaces and unnaturally forced the market into a sellers market only and then investment firms bought up all the stock. The world isn’t supposed to be like this, they’ve rigged the game. Why do they get to rig the game to their favor. Why can’t other have a shot at a comfortable life, because that’s all us plebs are asking for and they won’t even give that.

That was a fun article! I played the comparison game a few times.

Trying to use science to validate his argument, against the validity of science.

Sam Neil runs a farm in nz now. Posts his baby farm animals and chills. Makes awesome one liners riding around on his atv / tractor.

Same. I have to put snack foods in a bowl, I can’t eat them out of the bag or I’ll eat them all.

I’ve noticed sometimes I run to snacks when I haven’t actually drank anything all day.

I notice that if I eat a couple of pieces of fruit, I’m less likely to go overboard with other snacks, or even feel like snacking a lot. I have no idea what that’s about. Do I then snack on fruit at least once a day? That sounds like the smart option, but no. I try. But I’ve also gotta be in the right mood for a food, and I get a bit sensory about fruit sometimes. It also has to be zero effort, sometimes I don’t even have the energy to get into the fruit. Sometimes food has to be hand to mouth, no other effort or I won’t eat, but I will walk to the fridge and open it a thousand times, hoping it’s refreshed and stocked differently since last time. Which is more effort than just bloody cutting up or cooking the food! I think that’s when I’ve left it too long to eat and gone into deficit of energy.

I started making a banana bread with blueberries on top and adding a couple of different fibre and protein powders. And then I cut it into little squares and I can eat it cold from the fridge or warm it up, it’s zero effort all week, after making it… Which I rarely do because effort.

I’ll get there. Gotta keep plugging at it.

Yeah and if you go on tiktok and search la music festivals or music festivals, it just shows you people saying protest coverage is now labelled this, they’re still censoring the actual footage of the protests. And they’re censoring different things for different countries.

That handful of people also know how to make an uprising difficult, they realised tiktok was dangerous because people could (and were) using it to inform people about stuff behind the veil they’ve constructed using their media monopolisation. People were showing war zones atrocities in real time, conflicting with the handfuls narrative, so they hostile takovered it, like the do everything else they want to use to serve their narrative and further their interests. There’s power in boycotting, and block lists, but when they monopolise and cause manufactured high cost of living to force you to give them your money (serve them in slavery) it’s pretty hard to boycott. I often switch between two daydreams, one where I Thanos them out of existence, and the other where us 8 billion people combine to form “people of the earth” Chuck in a dollar each and systematically buy up all our politicians so they serve us again. Then we all collectively buy everything and share it, so everyone has the basics to be able to live comfortably. Every billionaire is unethical. They’re the ones causing destruction of our planet. We kinda need that! If it’s not prolonging fossil fuel use and mining, it’s creating “ai” that burns triple the power of the whole UK in one data centre. Like fuck!

Side note ai is tripping me out, a little. There doesn’t seem to be the costs associated with the levels of usage costs it generates, it’s also super not capable of what they’re trying to use it for, are they all just super fucking stupid, or is there some nefarious under plot going on?

That’s exactly it. He will forever have to say, it was awarded by Donald Trump, instantly loses all meaning. People will probably think he bought or bribed it from, DT.

People of science understand, without the parables, because they have the working and “book” knowledge to interpret the relative meaning of the presented data. To communicate the meaning relative data, without the background knowledge, and without taking the time to learn (or even package for small, focused learning) it is easier to understand, if put into a relative comparable, with similar, relative distance, or changes. Especially when people are already overloaded with *gestures towards everything. The way to eat an elephant, small bites. It’s an elephant to people without all that back knowledge or ability to interpret the science, so you gotta break it into small bites for them, using your understanding.

Haha lol, assuming people in cars count calories and or operate on minimal / in a deficit. Regardless of the car argument, people riding bikes are more likely to be counting calories and in a calorie deficit, as they’re more health conscious. People driving cars wouldn’t care as much, on average, and would consume more calories than necessary, probably triple the “cycling” extra calorie needs. Omfg. I could debate either side, if I had to, that’s the stupidest take I’ve ever heard. It holds absolutely no water. Where’s the data showing people in cars consume less food / calories.

Yeah! Same! I say that all the time. Although the cringe policing wasn’t as hard core before days of constant public documentation of all of the things. You kinda just drifted away from people who were cringe, and they had to figure it out without anything being spelled out for them. At least kids nowadays have a very complex and comprehensive guide to follow. Kinda. I’m still glad I’m pre, all of that.

It’s so much the emperor’s new clothes, though. It’s not real, it doesn’t work how they think or say, it’s gunna bust, big time. They’ve built thier castles on sand.

Omfg! Same!

I think the celebrities speaking out in these and other ways, won’t mind being eaten. They’ll just conceded to settle in to a fairer system, whereas those who don’t comply with our demands, nom fkn nom.

How boring would you be if you didn’t have some cringe stories! They prove you really lived life to the full. You can’t get 100% correct in a fallible meat suit and the fickle, gatekeepy, hot or not, societal mind.

You go and collect your own wood? From land you own? Is it sustainably sourced? I don’t know where you live but it’s a few hundred a ton, here, now and has been for about 10 years.

If he’s responsible for the thanks, he’s responsible for the criticism, too. If he wants thanks for them being fed, he deserves a serve for every baby that’s died. Scum.
