Untreated trauma WILL turn into dementia and autoimmune disease. The body keeps score. The emotions you suppressed, the stress you normalized, the pain you never processed, it all builds up in your nervous system. And over time, it starts to break you down.
Did you know that many people with Complex PTSD often experience an obsessive, almost magical belief that moving somewhere else will finally make them feel different, safe, or like their real self?
It’s not an official diagnostic criterion in the ICD-11, but it can naturally arise from the way Complex PTSD affects a person’s thoughts and sense of self.
HOLY TOLEDO!*
We got ourselves a patriot in the air!
A Cessna with tail number N4936T just completed a USA 250th flight complete with map of the lower 48.
Impressive.👍

I want to tell you about a two-time Nobel Prize winner who figured out why humans get heart disease and almost every other animal does not.
His name was Linus Pauling. He won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1954 and the Nobel Peace Prize in 1962. He is the only person in history to win two unshared Nobel Prizes.
In 1989 he published something that should have changed cardiology forever.
He called it the Unified Theory of Human Cardiovascular Disease.
Nobody listened.

Just watched this documentary and it’s hella depressing
It talks about teens that are completely shut off from the world - they stay in their bedrooms and lock themselves away from their families
Most only come out when everyone’s asleep
My first instinct when watching this was:
“Why not just talk to them and get them out”
Obviously, I’m a r*tard because the fact that they’re even in this state just means that they’re mentally already struggling
What’s troubling to learn was that a majority of them ended up this way because of bullying in school
It saddens me to think that the bullies are now probably on their way to university whilst their victims suffer in silence - away from their families
Although bullying in Singapore isn’t as extreme as some of our Asian counterparts (Korea & Japan), it’s still a problem that needs to be fixed
How that could be done, idk
Maybe I’ll know when I become a parent
For 700 years, people in Japan have set this entire mountain on fire once a year, on purpose. The burning is the only reason it keeps that flawless green cone shape. Leave it alone and it slowly turns into an ordinary wooded hill.
The mountain is Omuroyama, on Japan's Izu Peninsula in Shizuoka, and it is a volcano. A strange kind. It erupted exactly one time, around 4,000 years ago, built up its whole 580 meter cone in that one burst, then went quiet and stayed quiet. Geologists call this a monogenetic volcano. It erupts one time and never again. Mount Fuji is the opposite. It has erupted over and over across thousands of years and can go again.
That one ancient eruption also built the scenery around it. Lava poured out of the base and pushed about 4 kilometers out into the sea, and that hardened lava is the rocky Jogasaki coastline you can see behind it in the photo. The same flows flattened the surrounding land into the gentle plateau the town now sits on.
The grass is the human part. Every February, crews light the inside of the crater first, then set the base of the mountain and let the fire climb. Flames run from the foot to the 580 meter summit in about 30 to 40 minutes, and the whole slope goes from gold to black. Around 600 people are allowed to stand inside the crater and watch it start, then walk back down. The practice began roughly 700 years ago to clear dead grass, bring up fresh growth for thatch, and kill off pests.
There is a practical reason it never stopped. The grass roots hold the loose volcanic ground together and keep that smooth shape through rain and typhoons. Annual fire also keeps saplings from taking root. Skip a few years and trees move in, the outline blurs, and the clean cone is gone.
You cannot hike it. Japan made the whole mountain a national natural monument in 2020, protected as a clear example of a volcano that erupted only once, so the only way up is a six minute chairlift. At the top you can walk the rim of the crater, about a kilometer around and 70 meters deep, with an archery range down in the bowl.
So the green hill that looks like wild, untouched nature is really a 4,000 year old dead volcano, kept picture perfect by a fire people relight on the same slopes every single year.
I'm seeing many people having a hard time understanding why Sony would make a number of unpopular "anti-consumer" moves in rapid sequence. You need to realize it's because you are no longer the consumer.
If you are one of the few who doesn't have a completely fried attention span, I can explain a bit of what's actually going on and why technology feels like shit now.
Many of us living through this shift grew up during a time when new tech felt exciting. Gaming consoles, arcade games, computers, and other devices were targeted directly at us, and evolution was rapid. Consumerism was always present, but so was abundant creativity, and companies’ stated goal was to generate profit by providing ways to make life more entertaining and enriching; marketing creative, innovative technology to own, maintain, and use.
With the rise of the Internet, this focus began to shift. Attention became the new commodity, as did the control of information. Engineering machines became less important than social engineering, and we became the product rather than the market. Aesthetic design, reparability, and functionality became pointless; none of that is required to extract information from you on an industrial scale.
The result of this shift is what we're beginning to see openly now: centralization via AI, mass surveillance, and ownership of absolutely nothing. This new model is built on profiling the most efficient ways to lock you into a maze of subscription services and endless debt, while giving you the means to distract yourself just enough to never become a threat to these objectives.
Understand that Sony is not doing anything here other than following the blueprint that many other tech companies and governments have drafted. They know it’s wildly unpopular, which is why the gaslighting is required. It’s why Sony’s short announcement of ending physical media uses the term, "As consumer preferences change..." four times. It’s to convince you that you have no choice, and that all of this is just technological determinism at work.
Technological determinism is a scam. You still have a free will choice. All you need to do is stop investing your time and money into a system that has zero benefit to you, and instead start enjoying older technology and tools that you can use and maintain; or even more importantly, support new stuff built like the old stuff was. Once enough “product” (i.e. you) is removed from the marketplace, it will cease to be useful to the people who built it. The machine will seize, and we can start making a lot of really cool things again. That’s all that is required.
In the words of Ferris Bueller, "The question isn't, 'What are we going to do?' The question is 'What aren't we going to do?'”
So, what aren't you going to do?
It's for this reason why the grandson of the Red Bull founder had all his charges dropped for driving his Ferrari into a policeman, killing him after dragging him and his motorcycle.
It was a drink driving and hit and run case where the oil leak from the accident site basically trailed all the way to his family's home.
And the case was dropped after 3 million baht was paid to the victim's family.
To stop public urination, Japanese neighborhoods mounted miniature torii gates on their walls. The Shinto shrine gates invoked religious fear, deterring men from relieving themselves on something that belonged to the gods.

Ukrainians have launched a new online “game”: changing fuel station statuses on maps, marking empty stations as supplied and supplied stations as empty.
The result is chaos in Moscow: drivers waste time, burn extra fuel, create traffic jams, and clash at gas stations.
