Could buy a two-bedroom house here in California for a few million.

Agree because it’s a real mental illness that some people are tornented with, and that word should not be thrown around playfully.

The word I didn’t love from OOP was “unironically.” I truly don’t love that word.

I feel you. Reminds me circa 2019 I was telling my (ex-) bf about these things and he just listened to me with a blank stare and said nothing. Of course not much was ever really in his brain anyway but those 6 years with him were eye-opening for me because

(heads up: this is not just a rant about my ex-boyfriend, it ties back into the baby-eaters topic)

that’s when I learned about people who have undeveloped prefrontal cortexes in their brain and I’m certain that’s what his glitch was. Sociopathic, no compassion, everything they do is for their own selfish gratification and they feel no remorse for manipulating & hurting others. They don’t do it on purpose, their brains are just missing the empathy parts. They’re also incapable of feeling embarrassment, shame, remorse, self- reflection, seeking self-improvement, because that part of their brain is missing, which comes across as extreme confidence & arrogance & they’re intimidating & powerful. (President Trump has this heinous birth defect too, undeveloped pre-frontal correx.)

It’s terrifying because those are the types of people who end up in positions of authority because business structure & capitalism exploit everything a human can produce, exploiting us with no empathy. Businesses & capitalism are run by sociopaths & psychopaths because to them, money is more important than people. As long as the people on top end up with all the money. That’s how the brains of people with undeveloped prefrontal cortexes are wired.

And these same types of people are the ones ritualistically abusing murdering & consuming children. My (ex-)bf probably hopefully never knew about such things before, at least he never alluded anything about it to me, but I’m certain if he had the opportunity he would join such groups. Because psychopathy/sociopathy, interest in religion & people but not the healthy aspects of religion & people, the power & structure & rituals & fellowship of religion. And the bonding opportunities & exploitability of humans. Devoid of feelings & compassion. Seeking only power & personal satisfaction & gain everywhere they go, in everything they do, from everyone they encounter.

Let’s not forget that our leaders are WORSE than mere pedophiles. They are literally cooking & chewing up & eating & drinking some of those children after raping them. And even worse weird things. I felt it necessary to point that out right now because some old rabbit holes I’ve been down have been haunting me again lately.

I’m guessing they mess them up with preservatives.

And/or natural hardening because even homemade ones are best eaten fresh & warm. After a couple days they get harder & less palatable I suppose but my homemade ones disappear into mouths no later than day 2 🤷🏼‍♀️

Excellent book. I more remember the housing extortion problem described in that book.

Homemade Rice krispie treats are the only way to go. I remember those as a childhood favorite treat so one day I saw them at the store packaged all shiny blue so I bought them and oh my God those should’ve been sold as doorstops or drink coasters. Not suitable for human consumption.

I agree, my opinion is ghosts too.

If you’re ever lost in a forest, and you want to be rescued, just start building a house. Someone will magically appear to ask if you have a building permit.

And that’s why time travel is classified as science FICTION because the paradox would make the situation impossible, among all the other reasons time travel is impossible.

I like this idea a lot! Because walking through graveyards we get curious and we want to know about these people. Especially celebrities, and we would be fascinated to know the cause of death too because of course that’s never written on the epitaph either. I wish cause of death would be written on epitaphs. I know that would be dark & morbid & in poor taste but honestly that’s what everybody’s interested to know!

So many things. But for some reason the only one I can think of right now is in 2003 I wanted a memory foam mattress so urgently I could cry. We had no furniture whatsoever. But in retrospect I’m glad we didn’t get a mattress because everything is temporary and everything I’ve ever acquired has poofed into oblivion anyway. Best to live without. Poverty builds character. I guess.

At first I was embarrassed & disappointed that my new car had no futuristic modern features whatsoever, just old-fashioned tactile knobs & buttons. But seeing all the Tesla & electric car fiascos & nonsense over the past year, I’m now ridiculously grateful for this basic vehicle I have.

Yes, make friends with some artists and follow them around all day to witness them creating raw original art, then purchase the art directly from them.

And Jimmy Hoffa mysteries solved too.

And to have it be presented to you all in one big heaping steaming fragrant pile?

Ah yes it can be interpreted multiple ways, I see your perspective 1) there are people who don’t need to work in order to earn money, they are the highest class of humans.

2. Then there are people who have to work to earn money, they are considered pitiful but still essential cogs in our economy,

3. then there are people who do not earn money and they are the ones who capitalism deems worthless.

“If you don’t earn money, you don’t deserve to live.”

This is how I interpreted it and it definitely feels true, that’s how capitalism treats us.

I guess I’m just enjoying this 2018 Mercedes I bought new off the lot in cash that was the last of its kind to have no big brother tech in it.

As scary & intrusive as all of that sounds, I’m still only worried they’ll spy me picking my nose while driving.
