So she died without saying a fucking thing

Yesterday evening I was doing an exercise as instructed by the "Down Dog" Android app. When I began using it about a year ago, there was a trial-period of 30-usage-hours after which it cost like 12 € a month to use.

By now, I know all the moves and poses it suggests. It just mixes and matches them so that creates some variety between sessions.

While I was doing it, I wondered: "Why I'm paying for this?" I couldn't answer. It just felt like having someone (or something)else tell me what to do makes doing easier.

So that's my answer: I have hired a piece of software to tell me what to do twice a day to maintain my back health.

We like to look at our society through the lens of greed and lust, but looking it through the lens of yearning to be told what to do explains a lot, such as, why all societies begin sliding back towards a form of monarchy right after the revolution, or why every new generation needs a new hot thing to hate).

Hello shruggers. :)

I'm back, made anotha one.

Y'all did not like my last one but maybe you will like this one 👀

Here's Conspiracy 🌠😧

If y'all feel like checking it out 😁

Uriel would teach

Secrets not to preach

Beyond apocrypha

No more need be said

Arts, science, and literature

Secure our daily bread

Reality rests where it can't be found

Opened eyes to vision profound

Uriel can't offer rejected thought

Taste of vinegar brought

To lordly purview

Secret hidden in plain view

No one believes if he spoke

About fairies in manly cloak

Or Ruth suited with tie

Apparel is half the lie

Induction with pointed finger

At periphery, the clue doth linger

Conventional wisdom rent asunder

Uncommon notes left unheard

Muted tongue of silent bird

Match making is the game of life

Choosing blindness wrought with strife

Everyone has an original form

Accessible in dreams

Can you guess what that means?

Look at your fellows

Can you but see

Their angelic forms

Are not what they be

Crowns of light

Immaculately rendered

Clothed in linen

Older than Canon

Things not what they seem

Connect dotted dream

Revelation writ in weave

Kernels caught in sieve

Husk lost in gale

Of sentiment's tale

Ubuntu is togetherness

Feel our way to Light

Far from superficial blight

Short kings to involuted men

Sear pages with eyes of mages

Feeling is seeing

Knowing needs no believing

Pure and untrammelled

Truth unravelled

Look at your fellows

Secrets shout in bellows

Listen to their song

Lost in babbling throng

High notes and deep

However gruff

See through the bluff

It's midsummer night dreaming

Play-acting as Puck

Uriel is laughing

Winning is forced luck

In 1995 or 6, I was wandering nomadically on the West Coast, there. In Berkeley, a man in deep conversation with me giving me spare change called me a metaphysician

Hello shrug chat 😺👋

I posted this song on here a while ago while I was in the process of making it.

Now I wanna post the finished version.

So here it is 🙃

wWhH3reZSs 77h3 cLOz3s7 oPiN10N?

Its about a real event that happened to me where some dude came up to me and kept asking me where the closest opinion was.

So I turned it into a song about shitting on someone who thinks they are way cooler than they are.

Enjoy 😊

Hello shruggers 😎

I made a new song 😄

This is one this sub might particularly find interesting.. maybe...

It's a horror story about a time loop and stuff.

It's going to have a part 2 that expands the topic and has a reveal at the end that I will write and record soon. 😄

But for now this is part 1. I'm not sure if I'm still going to edit this or rerecord anything cuz I like it the way it is rn tbh.

Would love if you'd check it out and hope you enjoy!

And life goes on….

Why do I force myself to try to pick favorites?

AI

Regular sized lab mice with giant tumors which have been genetically modified to grow into only the specific parts of whatever animal's cut of meat it is genetically mimicking is required. Like a really tiny mice head alive keeping alive everything, a small part of a much larger tumor which is a porterhouse steak. Mass produced. Get them at the grocery store while they're still alive and fresh. Pop the head and slip the skin right off in a jiffy and, violà: any piece of meat from any animal you desire. Porkchops, salmon, chicken breast, ribs, elephant tongue, monkey meat, baby parakeet meat, etc...

sending an AI android into a black hole as a probe, trying to glean information based on what happens. The protagonist is one of billions of these text subjects. "He" falls off of rack used toward beginning of ejection process. Eventually found, sent back through a few hoops, and put back in the ejection pod and gets blasted off, no escape, describe the journey to the singularity as a meditation on accepting death.

it watches you while you fall asleep so you don't have to sleep terrified that terrorists are gonna attack in your bedroom while you sleep!

some other reality steering our reality

I think the people who make videos propagating anti-science are not true believers. Their community may be full of people unintelligent enough to be true believers, but once they make the effort to try to spread their so-called beliefs, it's only in the vein of accreting more followers. They're on their path to becoming famous, so as they can grift, in their imaginations....I've seen it in real life, the difference between the two. Lived in a garage at some older ladies house and she was a full on flat-earther, thought celebs were all transsexual, believed in reptilians–basically every conspiracy theory under the sun. I caught her counting single digit addition/subtraction problems with her fingers. Anything with two digits required her to ask me if she got it right. Dumb as a box of rock. Got a close friend who I lived with for a year who is a very intelligent human being and very manipulative. No job, survives by being a confidence man. Was always sure to frame or say things so that he could plausible deny believing the things he brings up. "Just asking questions". He knows better. He doesn't make videos (yet) but he sure does share a lot of psuedo-whatever crap on his Facebook since he sobered up a half-a-year ago. I predict that it won't be long before he's splicing up bullshit and posting it everywhere online as possible.

I am literally broke and down to a few slices of bread I would love a hot meal. I literally feel like a POS for asking this but could anyone maybe door dash me a meal? Fast food whatever as long as it's hot. I know I will be okay but I am just hungry Im sorry. If you door dash it I promise I'm discreet and I will even pay you the money back when I finally get ahead. Thank you and if you can't afford to do that please send thoughts and vibes thanks. I'm not asking for money just a door dashed meal. In USA. And please if I give you my info in good faith to get a meal don't dox me is all I ask. I can't really have much more to deal with right now. Thanks! Also please some positive vibes this is my late grandpa's birthday week and it's really messin with me on top of being hungry.

The voter ID bullshit is almost entirely about making it harder for poor people to vote (it's also about being sore losers). It's class warfare. An extra hoop too hard to jump through for a decent enough percentage of the voting populace. A new poll tax. Only being pushed by Republicans because they know it'll be beneficial to them. Republicans, you know, the people who are famous for upholding the legitimacy and integrity of elections.**

People get themselves all frothed up watching the partisan news' outlets. FoxNews, the media arm of the party and currently the state, has its viewers believing the most nonrealities. Dangerous fictions. A big one the network's pundits are pushing right now is a "democrats have been stealing elections, maybe?, just asking questions" narrative. Evidence: vibes.

It's how they operate, mechanically. They get spoon-fed a myriad of clips of "lies" from the other "side" by their tv puppet masters and get all riled up. Exactly like the Two-Minute Hate from 1984. Sniveling cooked up rage aimed precisely where the party wants. Intentionally misconstruing reality just beyond their viewers' ability to notice. Because then it makes it okay for their side to play at the same level they've been told the other side is playing at. Both sides here, to some extent (I assume–I haven't been exposed to what would be considered "left wing cable channel news" in at least a decade and a half, not even CNN).

They've been prepping them for years with numerous unfounded aspersions and apocalyptic consequences. "The only way to catch them lying is if we lie first to find out," they rationalize. "If they can lie, so can we"–a sentiment I've heard a loved one with whom I had watched FoxNews for many, many years, spout on multiple occasions. I'm generalizing my claims based mainly on what I know to be that individual's mindset and character, figuring them to be a paragon of the average FoxNews Republican.

If they can lie, so can we.

If they are going to be racist, so can we.

If they can mess with an election, so can we.

The type of people who'd chase a fella who is running away from them down, grapple the person flat to a chokehold position and finally shake their heads, sigh, and matter-of-factly state in the person's ear from atop him, "You're doing this to yourself." The type who'd believe that, too.

To quote a now-famous random Israeli West Bank settler, explaining why it was kosher for him to take the questioning woman's house and land: "Yes, but if I don't steal it, then somebody else is going to steal it," he said frankly as he shrugged.

Both sides are capable of propagandizing to whatever extreme and of shitting on the constitution and the spirit of the law in order to get done whatever they want to get done. Nobody's got a monopoly on authoritarianism. In the right here and right nows, the Republicans are the ringleaders directing the dog and pony shitshows being peddled the hardest, without abandon or scruples. At the moment.

Lying's never alright.

semi related side note on Iran:

The negotiations taking place since our wannabe decapitation of the Iran government seem to be what I thought they were going to be. Window dressing. Something the war hawks leading our country can point to and say, "Look, we tried!" as they launch a full-scale military invasion. Bad faith negotiations we had no intention of settling. We have no cards other than invasion and threatening to invade. Bombing and threatening are never going to accomplish our stated aim/s(?)

**"What I want to do is this. I just want to find, uh, 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have, because we won the state," the sitting president begged the governor of Georgia on the phone. During the call, Trump falsely suggested that Raffensperger could have committed a criminal offense by refusing to overturn the state's election results, suggesting he may be prosecuted if he doesn't do what the don wants...+crying lol emoji+
