you had to be there

I’d rather be out here letting other people convince themselves that they can see the future and letting them live in blissful righteousness than ever end up with any kind of Herman Cain style award where you have no clue about what is right or true, you just end up dying from parroting misinformation that you ended up wholeheartedly believing, then falling victim to your own bogus beliefs that you end up convincing yourself of, about yourself, or those around you, or other parts your relationship with your own environment and with nature. You could end up ignoring parts of yourself, or forgetting how to listen to what you know from intrinsic/intuitive reasoning but that you might not be able to expect yourself to be ready to easily explain yourself to others in every scenario you may encounter (in some cases people you encounter may hold strong attachments to the expectation of being able to find out (as many) broad understandings (as they can) about those around them in their personal lives/who they care about, who may end up, in some impromptu seeming instances, be primed to question decisions that they can perceive are [possibly] being made [by you] which they feel that they surely do not fully understand, but that they might wish to control the extent to which your decisions may end up affecting them (or, in some situations, simply their control over their relationship with you, to help themselves along their path, disregarding any aspect of your own identity, remembering details only in-so-far as it pertains to them and their wants/needs/desires which they may be inclined to rely upon or expect, should any such situation of reliance ever happen to arise). I think it is valuable to separate out those who are truly wishing me the best in all instances throughout the rest of my conscience experience, and those who may have an anxiety condition that they are not necessarily showing promising signs of being able to handle well (when deciding how much care or reassurances are required to slough at people when they start getting antsy about the concept of falling on the floor and dying at any moment being well above a zero percent chance for all of us at any moment, no matter what we might be able to do to see our demise coming or prepare accordingly for ensuring any and all possible long term prosperous futures for ourselves [and/or as many peoples’ as possible] by all of our actions in every moment throughout our whole chaotic and absurd sensations and the perceptions gleaned across our personal memories of our experiences falling continuously through spacetime

I wouldn’t put money on it (especially since that technology is precisely what has gotten us into such catastrophes as for example all the oil cartels buying government influence around the world, wanting to continuously gain access to more of natures most profitable industrial raw material, despite all of us now recognizing what it would mean to actually burn all of it, and how, generally, the creation and use of better ways of capturing energy and byproducts from oil refineries, is not worth the tradeoff of letting robber barons around the now-more-global-than-ever world’s economy own nearly the whole of the worlds reserves of various resources through private claims made to vast scales of area of the globe is not, and will not likely ever end up being, a valuable or productive enough use case for those landscapes, and that the systems of measure we have been using to determine compensation, resource pricing, and measuring+recording debts have all contained various major design flaws which had not been established with enough guard rails in place [or maybe one could argue that no such single use currency could have enough guard rails, so perhaps upwards of 3 or 4 might be required] to be able to protect innocent lives throughout nature which have all each found their niche by carefully and patiently adapting a resilience to survive and thrive another day, despite constantly changing adversity throughout their environments.)

Stop inviting the landlord to minecraft night for god sakes

The machine would stop having elections at that point, or just come up with more convolutions to try and undermine the sentiments within the movement of any emerging “public consciousness”.

Good thing it won’t be too long until it’s over.

I wish I could get some spider diet like that rolling, I’m barely pulling upwards on 9ųg of per month where I’m at, though that’s not even counting the ones that may be occurring in plenty of the various processed foods/snacks that I am able to eat which may have some bonus arachnid carcasses in them on occasion.

This image is nightmare fuel

Speciesism is rampant in this world, and the fewer of us that are able to recognize on occasion the behaviors we share with other successful creatures with which we share this glorious domain, the more the general notion of (generally a specific subset of) our species being rightfully and certainly more separate from our ancestors and absurdly twisted histories than we may choose to feel can become. We all so desperately want to hold a complete picture in our minds, perhaps just so that we may be able to better share our perceptions with others and connect on a more fundamental level, having some steady image of our cosmic or metaphysical landscape to reference, over which we may form deeper bonds than through any other mode of communication.

For every respect we must all carry our responsibilities… One’s responsibility for respect might depend on their own respect for such a responsibility, or rather, the respect that they may hold towards their own responsibilities which they may begin to recognize the existence thereof, but still lack the general appreciation for either the responsibilities themselves or the respect required to truly carry properly any such responsibilities which may come with such certain levels of respect that may be required in order to respect the responsibility of respecting the responsibility to show such a respect to others, responsibly.

Thanks Sony… for not acting on the ownership of this patent… (yet…)

We need the citizens ticket (I tried to look up who was suggesting this idea because I heard of it in a comedy sketch recently but I lowkey have become a stan after going through a couple of the logical/ethical/practical hangups to myself after hearing him out once [ it was towards the end of some routine I have no idea what about (I cannot remember if it was Josh Johnson or not, but it could have been) but anyway here’s the idea:

Every licensed (thank you spell check) driver would have the legal opportunity (neigh obligation, I say) to give out a ticket to another driver once per year. We could all have a state provided, or (less desirable, for security reasons) built-in, dash cams to all our cars, and could give out just a single traffic violation per year by reporting the plates and submitting a video (maybe make the dash cam able to bluetooth to one’s phone or something simple, so grannies could figure it out).

Another side benefit from the widespread opportunities for real daily “street” (lol) justice to be recognized and delivered to your fingertips while driving would be that there would be some appreciable portion of people who would inevitably hold onto their tickets throughout the year (you only get the one!), and driving during the winter (northern hemisphere logic, represent…) might become a lot safer (after a few years/decades go by, and people start to adapt to the concept) as roughly a quarter of all “citizen enforcers” (people who usually use their 1 ticket power) would probably begin to recognize the big opportunity for the end-of-year violations, especially if violations were worth some type of small reward for reporting, that still varied marginally based on the severity of the infraction similar to the penalty structures they (da Po Po) employ against the “perpetrators” of various “illegal” actions while driving.

I wrote this like a lawyer, this is horrible [must delete it ….]

The effort is in learning how to do it the first time. Though arguably that may be one of the greatest culinary achievements/contributions from the US food industry that comes to mind is the hardly canny ability for these food manufacturers to come up with a food that can not only be served in little plastic packet shaped packs, but have those packets reheat in “Approx. 60 seconds” in 8/9ths of all the microwaves in around and in use at that time, after I have taken the time to consider / have to learn the hard way [1] , how tough (another unintended pun this time) reheating meat or breads could be in high power models with numerous modes, which are suggested to be used in order to heat certain types/shapes/consistencies of some common food object types. (shoutout to the models without the popcorn button, but with a “Potato” setting, with no other words aside from the weight input selection).

[1] I once microwaved a pop-tart for 2 minutes when the toaster wasn’t working as a kid, for reference of where I had been starting from. Worst looking pop-tart ever afterwards, completely unrecoverable smoking hole in the middle of the thing after I came back into the kitchen blissfully unaware that I had blasted it waay too much (in retrospect, at least I knew/had been taught to remove the foil wrapper…)

Hot brot you got, Scott

I’ve multiple times ended up as clueless as that when setting out to find recipes online, so I have learned that especially for desserts soups, and pasta recipes I really should just outsource that part of the process to my partner with pickier but also more discerning taste than me. I miss out on some onions or mushrooms here or there in savory dishes occasionally, but the couple of cookie recipes I now have saved always remind me that having a second set of eyes on that area of planning never hurts for me.
