May I have mine blasted into a shake, eating fruit does nothing for me. Just can't see it as a treat, can't believe it's what people used to look forward to.
Give everyone the benefit of the doubt apart from those whose purpose in life is to be suspicious of everyone they meet. Never ever trust those who are suspicious of everyone they meet, they're the least amongst us.
A police state. The police and the people who like the police are the people you don't trust because that's the whole point of their existence - that you can't trust people.
We're all undateable in a way. Dating is putting your best foot forward to the point of pretending to be someone else. Even "just be yourself" is a macabre charade, what that actually means is make your game appear effortless. It doesn't mean behave like there's nobody else in the room. If dating was very honest we'd all be single. Dating is for actors, the company of actors
And seeing as we're talking about communism. More concerning isn't the idea of helping people in a natural disaster but how it works out in practice. What if it's like the recycling was, paying poor countries to take our waste and throw it in the sea? That wasn't the agreement but that is what happened. How do we know who to trust?
And we can look back on our own history with a certain sense of relief. Thank God we were the way we were, a society where capitalists had to contend with other capitalists, landed aristocrats and even religion we had limits on what progress was allowed to do. Russia and China are the worst offenders because they had no limits on progress, nothing they wouldn't do to make profit and yet you still wouldn't want to live there.
Britain doesn't tax the 7 billion alive today thanks to the industrial revolution. If that had been the setup over the centuries then they'd be quite right to demand compensation for a faulty product. But no they can get back what they paid for it(nothing).
And at any rate this is more like charity. I'm happy to pay to see you not drown because it's the right thing to do. Help because we can not because we're guilty. And besides what would do about the Russians? The soviets slaughtered the environment and placed untold strain upon the natural world but they're still broke. They don't have anything to show for it. The most guilty don't even have any money.
I don't know if a disturbed mind tells you what you need to know about a person. But a disturbing situation, yes. You don't know much about anyone without a disturbing situation because it's the sheltered life of the great untested, which is why couples who don't argue are not in love.
We'll need to burn some gas until hydrogen and/or better batteries come along. Nuclear is good but you can't turn it up and down to complement renewables.
What makes sense is for no country to be fossil free until all countries are fossil-lite. The law of diminishing returns says that renewables are increasingly a ball ache, a little bit of fossil fuel goes a long way. One country fossil free is as expensive as multiple countries fossil lite therefore the environment will be much better off if we all do a bit. For some to do a lot is self-defeating.
Another one for men. When things get really bad to realise that crying over the final destination of an inflated piece of leather is rubbish. Turn the match off I don't want to watch it. Just 2% of the passion that goes into football could meet and defeat the dark forces that threaten our way of life with eternal night.
We're quite lucky to have the NHS, it does limit corruption and I never really looked at healthcare as the same as other welfare. Give people free money and they won't get a job. But if you ban medicine this won't encourage people to become immortal. If you have no healthcare you will become slender and sound of mind discovering that prevention is better than cure? No, you will not.
It's a boon for mental health because of the honesty and because of social drinking. And together this is honesty with the people around you. Drinking alone not so much.
To some extent. They don't drink much in the middle east I don't need to tell you what demented lunatics they are there. I think it's a chill pill that makes society less mentally ill which isn't to say that alcohol does every individual this same favour, it would just be a less demented Islam if they drink.
That's the sticking point that I can see. And not much way around it until they come up with the man-made womb, a manufactured sack in which children are grown external to the body.
I reckon you wouldn't because you march to the beat of your own drum. Most people would do a murder for the community atmosphere, killing that yid is a job well done but I don't see that in you.
And remember that 8 out of 10 other people are cowards. They will be put upon by authority to the nth degree. What's striking about the new fascism is just how successful it's going to be. The fascists were never stopped internally, only by having separate different societies outside of fascism was it stopped which is exactly what globalism won't have.
An example would be the vaccines. If covid had been worse, and the vaccines more effective, you wouldn't want to be anywhere near an anti-vaxxer on a site like this. Even if you support the vaccines I wouldn't. You'd be best off remembering when you were 6 because "don't talk to strangers" is now something adults are expected to do in an infantilised world. We don't have the rights that we did and this is before the social credit score.
And the more individual you are the greater the peril. Why? The more individual you are the less likely you are to spend all day on Amazon or one of the few chosen big players. The more likely you are to be somewhere off the beaten track which is exactly what is dangerous. Individuality has never been so against the grain of the times. It's precisely that they won't stay in the spaces allocated by the state and run by the big corporations.
At least legally speaking the distinction between you and someone else no longer exists. Collective punishment for the crimes of one or a scapegoated one for the crimes of many. There is no individual in the same sense as there is in real life. And as the old wild west internet gives way to the new fascist network we will see more and more of what's Orwellian about having no distinction between us.
Maybe in the real world. But in cyberspace we congeal into one. The individual is nothing, the network is everything. Whatever you do may as well be me doing it, and vice-versa. Your actions are no longer your own like in North Korea.
Basically you can do two things with a hard life. There's a cold-blooded logic that can justify being pitiless, as pitiless as the fortunate ones but with good reason for it, and there is also to know how it feels; I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. To want the best for all because you nearly died.
I take that as the meaning of walk a mile in their shoes. To think of someone else's situation but not ask what would I do in their place? But to try and understand why they do what they do, try to imagine how difficult that situation must be for them because if it's so much harder for them than it would be for me, then what kind of comparison am I? It's their shoes we're supposed to be walking in.
And also try to remember that everything we go through good or bad is relative. Which is the difficulty. It is so so hard to sympathise with the most privileged people ever to have lived when they are in turn pitiless towards you and your far more serious burden. Like being the poor kid at a good school. It's hard to sympathise with elite concerns but we have to do or else we'll be pretty bloody lonely in the first world.
The fact that Qatar has the world cup speaks volumes about the west not standing up for any of the things that it promotes. The culture that invented football and supposedly stands for minorities, does a thing like that. Your sterility is the only thing that matters to the moneypower. The west stands for nothing but money, and the moneyed want you sterile - it's as simple as that.
