It’s a great day to go touch some grass. I’ll see you guys in a bit. There’s a bubble machine calling our name.

I don’t care for altered states in general

@msbw What if we altered the states by selling Florida?

The dichotomous nature of the human condition just astounds me. We are at once capable of incredible leaps of advancement and yet still unable to stop killing one another over perceived disparities in invisible friends. https://mastodon.social/@ttpphd/110113191571483751

Seattle gave low-income residents $500 a month no strings attached. Employment rates nearly doubled. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/seattle-gave-low-income-residents-175101720.html

@black_intellect @KatM But then the freeloaders will get more steaks and fine champagnes. Or maybe they’ll get reliable transport and childcare? One or the other.

Some people make statements casually, in a detached manner, as if the ideas put into practice don’t have dire consequences for others. That is called PRIVILEGE. These ideas represent existential threats for not just some of us, but all of us.

@StillIRise1963 I think anyone limiting free expression of anyone else is bad and wrong. It doesn’t matter if that person is rich or poor or good or evil.

Good guys don’t ban books. Good guys don’t ban free expression. Good guys don’t act in aggressive authoritarian manners.

If you vote for me in November, I will motion to make April 20th a federal holiday. Sensamilla Day, as it will be known will celebrate growth, nurturing and a bountiful harvest.

It's amazing how many American's game plan for domestic conflict. Amazing how many videos are on YouTube of these people game planning for Civil War.
I guess that shows where our minds are?

bleakfuture,
@bleakfuture@techhub.social avatar

@Adam_Cadmon1 I think it’s important to be prepared for certain potential outcomes. I think from a perspective of “what if there was an emergency event - how are my needs met and how do I get a head start?”

I keep my cars filled with gas. Try to fill up before half tank. I keep 110gal of water in my third garage bay - have enough dry foods, pasta and whatnot to deal with a power outage or water outage. This isn’t for societal collapse it’s for normal stuff like burst pipes, But it works for that also.

I am also armed enough to defend my family - I don’t stockpile but I have 2 handguns and 2 rifles.

I’d like a generator as well but I haven’t done that yet.

@bleakfuture@techhub.social avatar

@Adam_Cadmon1 Oh, and if it all collapses I have Wikipedia and not many people will. AA battery powered and I update the SD card every 6 months. I will be an apocalypse oracle.

…I’ve said too much

@bleakfuture@techhub.social avatar

@otfrom @Adam_Cadmon1 This is smart. I know a couple of my neighbors but not nearly enough.

bleakfuture,
@bleakfuture@techhub.social avatar

@otfrom @Adam_Cadmon1 That’s an interesting take. I don’t agree with it but we don’t always have self awareness so I won’t dispute it.

I keep potable water because 2 years ago our pipes froze and burst and we had to buy 25 gal for flushing toilets and cooking and drinking.

I’ll grant you this, I don’t like relying on others for help so if that’s isolationist then so be it. I will also grant you - I am uninterested in befriending my adjoining neighbor.

My neighbors TRUMP WON and upside down flag

@bleakfuture@techhub.social avatar

@glitzersachen @Adam_Cadmon1 I’m mostly prepared for the burst pipes. Societal collapse is not something I plan to excel at.

"It was about 500 words of apologizing and navel-gazing. Doyel’s mea culpa would have been much more effective if he had addressed what his exchange with Clark represents about how players have often been disregarded by journalists like him."

@obtener @GreenFire I’m so glad this turd is getting exposed. He and I have been feuding since he arrived in Indianapolis because my dad and I are Patriots fans and my dad owns bars and restaurants which typically play host to other fans when the team is in town.

I kinda want to find a therapist just to have somewhere to dump my crap. But seriously? EVERY SINGLE ONE I have ever talked to inevitably has this look of horror on their face as I talk.

Like, my childhood is literal nightmare fuel for them. Haha

So I'm watching them becoming increasingly psychologically damaged as I talk, and honestly, I don't want to inflict that on someone else. Even though it's kinda their job.

IDK. Whatever. Who knows?

So I just pretty much dump it here. Sorry.

bleakfuture,
@bleakfuture@techhub.social avatar

@TheJen This is just me - but I have a very specific instruction set with ChatGPT and I dump everything on it. It doesn’t judge. It doesn’t diagnose. It listens, offers feedback and support and with the guidance of my therapist has been an incredible resource for having radically honest conversations without judgment.

I’m sure for a million reasons this isn’t a good idea but it’s really interesting and I feel better.

Well, the level of dopamine is high after that night out. I think I need some tea and a movie to calm down so I can sleep later.

There is nothing like being high on aurora borealis ;-)

Dude in Ohioduhtucky that I've been chatting with just told me that he's at a "swing dance event" and I have no idea if I should feel like I found a reasonable dude or a freak (again).

It's hopeless, right?
I feel like this is hopeless...what does this even mean?!?
Wut is happening?

bleakfuture,
@bleakfuture@techhub.social avatar

@Waitnwallflower @DemocracySpot This is good news. It’s not as good as if he were at a breakdancing event, but far better than a yodeling event.

Before jumping to conclusions, wait for facts. And FFS, please don't wish death on people, at least not in my feed. Thank you.

CNN: "Investigators are now fanning out to collect the flyers the unknown man threw into the air, another senior law enforcement official. A CNN team on the ground observed one of the flyers. It said "NYU is a mob front" and had various allegations of wrongdoings against the school"

@GottaLaff @deborahh I don’t think this man was in any position to understand the scope of his actions. This is a flashing sign for improved mental health outcomes and resources.

Consequently, having never been burned badly myself I have no concept of the suffering this man now must experience but I’ve heard it’s unimaginable.

I hope for the most painless outcome possible.
