Where I’m living at least, the farmers here UBI and start screaming bloody murder, I wonder how they feel about this, since it’s being framed as “farmers are important we should subsidized them”

Interesting, this is my own theory so take it with a grain of salt. But I think everyone has wild confusion with the subject of the minds eye. We are all just recalling things, it’s the same thing.

I believe the difference between 1-5 is much smaller than online discussing would make us think.

I can “see the apple” and I can “feel it crunch” but not actually. I’m just recalling the “idea” of those sensations.

If I stare off in my environment, I can place the apple on a table, I can “pick it up” but there is no apple. I’m simply recalling what it feels like to take that action, or what I would think based on previous experiences it would feel like.

I don’t think anyone is able to legitimately hallucinate things into their reality (within reason of course haha, mental conditions and such) and I always leave these discussions feeling like people who align with 5 think 1’s can legitimately create objects in their reality.

But I can only experience my mind, so we will probably never have a solid answer to this.

I would also be very interested to know if people who align with 5 are able to “train” themselves up the scale.

Sure! Along with GBI for everyone else too.

Wait, clarify for me.

If you are a 5 and cannot visualize at all while awake, how do you know your dreams were vivid? Can you imagine the dreams once awake and picture them? Otherwise how can you know how vivid they were?

Maybe my question is dumb haha, i just cannot grasp not being able to use ones mind to imagine.

Yeah I’m calling bullshit on this one haha, op is implying some people cannot process word if not spoken or written. That would be so unbelievably disabling you probably couldn’t function in society.

Well they didn’t get rich by giving it away. 😅

Regardless I chuckled

Am I too employed for this or is OP off the rails?

I think you dropped this: /s

Haha, yeah that I guess eh?

Mm as in millimeters as in guns.

The church I went too when I was a child hosted Christian rock shows from smallish artists. One of them was particularly mid, and after their last song everyone started to leave without a single person calling for encore. The band ran back out for their “scheduled encore” to a silent crowd and started playing another song while everyone left.

I think about how awkward that was every time I go to a show now.

In best encores, Porter Robinson played Cheerleader twice in a row for the Seattle show on his tour last year since it was going to be the last show with this big billboard on stage that they couldn’t bring on the world tour, so he got all hooked back up in his harness and they played it again. The second go was more fantastic than the first.

Uhh, I hear people complaining about those services all the time, see Air BnB.

Regardless, a rental car or hotel is not a living requirement like a semi-permanent home is. Definitely comparing apples to oranges here.

You can acknowledge the benefits to renting while also acknowledging it’s an unbelievably toxic and abused system that profits off the poor for the gain of the rich.

Until everyone is housed, no one should be profiteering off thoes that aren’t.

Based mod

Well, by definition it is a step. But ohs might not want you to use it 😅

Yeah, I thought the same thing this morning when I saw that. Still no NSFW tag or request from the mod despite literal rape joke.

This is a funny meme that says foreskin

Edit: was not sub friendly, mod took action

Haha, I know the feeling. You aren’t going right, everything else is moving left. That’s just the progression of politics.

Just needed to clarify that. Had I not, I could see my words being misconstrued to meaning I believe people who don’t have a job should be killed.

Ok, I’ll bite.

I think that if you contribute to society you are more worthy of being allowed to live. Live meaning receiving a living wage, not life or death.

“Have a job” is one way to do that and there are many many situations in which it is more difficult for some people to “contribute” than others. But to paint anyone’s political opinion as black and white is a real right wing"ish" style attack.

It sucks, but the libs are the lefts conduit for change. Without them we will be stuck leaning farther and farther right as the right leaners continue to actually work together to take our rights away and we waste our time infighting over stupid shit like this.
