When you're a moron everything seems esoteric and mystical

Post a travel pic, no explanation needed, just a pic from a trip that makes you happy.

It's almost time. Are you ready?

[Astral Reconnaissance @AstralRecon]

I get the sentiment and I don't strictly disagree. But also, part of what makes memories so fragile is that we inure ourselves to offloading memory onto technology. Just be with people, your kids, your friends, whoever. Put the camera away. Let it live in your soul.

[Norgard @BrianNorgard]

It’s impossible to fathom how fragile human memory is. You can never take too many pictures and videos of your children.

When I feel it, I get the laugh impulse because it's so funny and joyful, but I usually opt not to laugh cause I'm even happier in that state of quietude. Often when I get the laugh impulse in grosser states of tension-release, I can't hold it in.

[Astral Reconnaissance @AstralRecon]

At the energetic layer *beneath* where you sense your biggest knots of tension and self-making, there is another layer that is composed of a constant fluttering nervous "body chatter".

[Astral Reconnaissance @AstralRecon]

It's like a thousand little micro flutters that are firing everywhere all at once. Quieting this leads to a profound calmness and openness that isn't as intensely pleasurable as releasing tension, but feels somehow even better.

@solid_kulak blessed side quest

@DanCruver The hardest part is not your own maneuvers but the assumptions you make about what other drivers are going to do, which tend to be subconscious for experienced drivers. Force yourself to THINK about what turns are free to the other drivers. And look RIGHT at intersections!

If you try to protect yourself from cults by being cult-phobic then the first time a cult starts making sense you'll probably fall for it.

I was watching World Cup to follow USA, but after England/Mexico the other night and Argentina/Egypt just now, I think I just watched two of the greatest sporting events I've ever seen.

[Astral Reconnaissance @AstralRecon]

I was still a little shitlib at the time (hence me even trying), but I think it went a long way towards me feeling alienated by calling someone like him an "american". Just totally clueless and uninterested. Extremely alienating.

After my grandfather died, I inherited his old Mercury Sable station wagon and had to drive it up from Fresno to Seattle in the middle of some brutal summer heat, but I like doing that. I picked up a Mexican hitch hiker somewhere around Yreka, CA

i met an old lady on a plane once. she was distressed and speaking spanish. no one understood her. i speak spanish so i tried to ask what was wrong. what she was saying sounded like spanish but didn’t make sense. she just kept repeating one short phrase without wrapping it …

[Astral Reconnaissance @AstralRecon]

I taught him the English word "suburb" cause I didn't know how else to explain Vancouver, WA, in Spanish. I dropped him at a Texaco and drove back over the bridge to my friend's place.
