Yes, it is.

Do it anyway.

Person-man, person-man, does the things a person can.

no u

There’s got to be a name for this kind of method. I had a similar insight. I want to run for a public office as an independent and have one of my initial campaign pushes be about how I am the first openly gay person to run for that office.

The person currently holding that office is openly gay. However, he is very comfortable and no longer makes a point about it anymore now that he has a secure seat. I have no interest in holding that office. I just want to make him talk about it.

I as a working class, gay man. I am quite disgusted with the Palm Springs homosexuals who hide behind their wealth now that we have achieved a modicum of social acceptance. The fight is far from over for people who have to work for a living, so I thought about this as a way to just get people talking again about the needs of people who don’t fit the standard molds.

It’s not quite rat fucking but more the political equivalent of shit posting.

. . . ‘fraid.

It’s more of a rental type situation.

Oh, I think there is enough woo woo on the Internet to make this just a side effect of training these things on the cesspool of the human psyche.

Yeah, I was just going to say that the definition of a warlock is just a wizard who manages to get laid.

Yeah it seems to be more of a Mexican-American thing. Also it has become sort of a Hallmark Holiday in the US, meaning the significance is amplified by marketing.

I mean the weather is usually beautiful on May 5, so any excuse to have a party.

Well, it’s not just a matter of intelligence of the general person. Understanding politics and bigger systems is a special skill. A person even of generally high intelligence may not have those gifts. Being able to pay attention to politics and larger trends is somewhat of a luxury, too. Many are ground down by survival needs.

So the lies work. I personally don’t think it’s more complicated than that.

I awaken naturally at 4am with or without an alarm. But it has always been this way for me. I was raised on a farm so early rising was always sort of the expectation but it definitely suits my natural rhythms. I do come from a long line of dairy farmers, so there’s probably some selection going on there.

Now for context, I have placed a high priority on sleep hygiene for a very long time. So I usually get 8.5-9 hours of sleep a night. That’s just what experience tells me I need for optimal functioning.

It is a strange life choice. I am not really into nightlife, so I am aware there is an alternate universe of night owls out there, but those worlds rarely collide with mine. I’m ready for a afternoon nap about the time many people start to think about brunch.

That’s some samsara shit right there.

Yes, 1.2kWac. Did I do the estimate correctly? My quick estimate of the power yield under Utah conditions is anywhere between a dollar and $1.50 a day? Does that seem to be in the ballpark?

It took me a while to reply to this. I thought it was a really good comment though.

I didn’t think about landlords doing their usual douchey thing. But of course this is going to happen because anything that disturbs some apartment owners arbitrary aesthetic vision is going to be banned easily.

I read the legislation. it’s only five pages. It is really biased for single home owners without being explicit about that.

The actual law

I think I did the estimate correctly, under typical sunny Utah conditions you would only make about a dollar worth of electricity a day at current rates with the maximum allowed system.

Every smart person in this country is the direct associate/friend/partner of someone with an autism diagnosis or has a diagnosis themselves. Many with that diagnosis are highly functional and intelligent. Many have positions of some power.

What I mean is, anyone that is abhorred by this and has risen anywhere close to a lever of power in this country needs to do something about this and all of it now. The troubles are not coming. The troubles are here.

Yes.

Yes that’s the method. It’s improperly called yoga nidra, but the correct term for the method is Nadi Shodhana Pranayama.

I’m not exactly sure what you mean. You describe the method that is used. One holds their own hand to the face with the nose between thumb and index finger. On alternate breath cycles, you direct the breath through alternating sides.

Did I understand your question correctly?

Millions of little homunculi

Right? They at least get a warm fuzzy.
