I have a hypothesis that there is no such thing as lucid dreaming (before you get the wrong idea, I’ve done it before. My meaning is that it’s misunderstood, not that people are lying about having done it).
That feeling that you’re in control? You’re just dreaming that you’re in control. You’re just dreaming that you have the experience of choice-movement-feedback.
How is the feeling of being in control any more real than other sensations you experience in a dream?
When you experience the sensation of enlightenment in a dream, do you say you were really enlightened, or were you just dreaming that you were enlightened?
When you experience the sensation of blue in a dream, do you say there was actually blue, or were you just dreaming there was blue?
Your brain telling you you’re in control is just as suspect as your brain telling you there’s blue. They are both creations of your brain for the purpose of the dream.
Whatever action you’re taking in an attempt to demonstrate control is just as easily explained as something your brain created as dream decoration.

(Also try it with Sailor Jerry’s spiced rum instead of the peppermint schnapps, though that’s totally different)
(I should note that I make SM with water, not milk, so if you make it with milk and it sucks, don’t blame me. Though, on the subject of white liquids, eggnog with peppermint schnapps is also good)
(Maybe I should try eggnog with Sailor Jerry’s to round out the set. What? You say that’s a thing people do already?)
How about first we charge the real people doing real war crimes, e.g., Netanyahu and Putin? Then we can talk about whether mashing buttons is comparable.
tl;dr Furiosa’s $25 million opening was lower than the expected $40 million that its predecessor Fury Road opened with. Could lose money on its $168 million budget....
When I was in school we were taught genocide is a crime against humanity, now the USA and other countries act like Israel has blackmail material on all their leaders. What causes so many countries to be supporting them like this?
What's something weird and mostly useless that you can do with your body?
What do you just not give a single fuck about that so many people try to make you give a shit about?

What are you currently excited for?
The birth (or death) of a relative, the release of a new program, game, series, movie, the date you were dreaming about, could be anything
