I LOVE neuroplasticity. It gives me so much strength to keep bringing a positive change in my life, to think that YES my mind is with me. My mind is not working against me, but with me. Slowly & surely, we'll overcome our challenges.
Since Dave is OK with CANCEL CULTURE after he began uncontrollably shaking over a sign and canceling a college student, should he get canceled for this?
You can’t have it both ways Dave!
Think of what a modern supermarket does. First it tries to imitate the butcher shop with a meat section. And it has a produce section mimicking a farmer’s market. A bakery section like what the guy who baked your bread had.
Enough time goes on - and they sort of keep this up, but the employee turnover is so high, and the city dwellers come and go - so all fake intimacy imitating real friendship is lost. The structures are there, but the sense of comfort goes. People don’t even like one another.
Then some more time goes on and a place like Whole Foods emerges and tries to do what the original supermarkets did - but it’s another step removed from authenticity. Bullshit piled upon bullshit. A total dishonesty covered up by the customer feeling good he can ‘afford’ the ‘really good product.’ That’s ‘a nice piece of fish.’ Those ‘steaks look good.’ That pale tomato is ‘organic.’
Luckily even in cities it’s still possible to drive 30-50 files out to the countryside and buy straight off the farm. Healthier and feels better. The meat is real. The milk is real. The tomato is deep red and meaty inside.
But you have to make an effort at this. And we call it all ‘progress’ and an improvement of ‘GDP.’
‘Progress’ advances in equal measure with bullshit.
Elon Musk is wrong.
The main function of the H-1B visa program is not to hire “the best and the brightest,” but rather to replace good-paying American jobs with low-wage indentured servants from abroad.
The cheaper the labor they hire, the more money the billionaires make.
Can a history nerd tell me what happens after a general population becomes so enraged and outraged against their ruling class that they start cheering for assassins? What comes next?
"Hello, my dude. May I interest you in this new strain that was crossbred by the government to measurably drop your IQ and irreparably damage your time perception? It smells like shіt!"
"I'm just here to buy a pack of cigarettes."
"Those things will kіll you, man."
“Cats are inherently right wing animals. They exude aristocratic gentility, they understand the pleasure of lounging as much as they revel in the hunt. The dog, on the other hand, is too eager to please. He is forever a slave whereas the cat remains his own master”
