Because they move like kitties!

I’m not religious any more at all, but I thought of god as a permeating energy. Energy can become matter and light. Someone smarter than me can explain why that doesn’t make any sense, but that’s what my brain had come up with when I was wrestling with it.

Hostel just west of Pretoria, victims included a 3 year old. Jesus fucking Christ. What would motivate a team of humans to do that to other humans.

With the same system in place I don’t think changing the people involved will make a huge difference. We’ve got to dismantle the whole thing and start from scratch. And with a new system there will naturally be a different type of people interested and involved.

Or even from a brain back to itself. Doesn’t even have to be consumed by other brains for it to be art.

Seconding walking. I had gained 40lbs and eased back into fitness slowly over 2 years. My issue with hiking is the prep time and driving and felt like extra steps. Stepping out the door with a good podcast on was the most accessible for me (recognize that I’m lucky to live in a place with sidewalks and some paths). If the nature part of hiking makes it more interesting to you though and more likely to follow through, go for that!

Sometimes I feel we should be writing these numbers out fully. That’s something worth $4,000,000,000,000 that’s not paying anything substantial to improve your life. If they paid $400M in taxes they’d still be worth about $4T.

As someone with ADHD inattentive… I miss there being an ADD. I’m not hyperactive. Now that I think of it, neither am I inattentive if it’s something I’m interested in. ADD felt like a better descriptor for me, personally.

And then I wonder how frequently humans misinterpret the mistranslated news.

Thank you for your service and for saving me from continuing on down the thread.

The Atlantic has been putting out some great articles. Worth a read. This is a huge shift in the integrity of American higher learning:

For the entire history of this country, the federal government has allowed colleges and universities to grow and flourish according to their own determination of what higher education means. The resulting system is, for all its flaws, the envy of the world. The smartest people on Earth come to America to live, learn, invent, and prosper, because they know our universities are free. The Trump administration is trying to bring that tradition to an end.

The compact is not a statute passed by Congress or a regulation written with public consent. It is only the ideological will of the president, offered with the logic and ethics of a mafia protection racket. Shakedown artists browbeat and threaten so they can take something that doesn’t belong to them. They also do it to establish who has power and who should live in fear. Universities that accept this bargain will be selling their souls for nothing but a promise of safety that will surely be broken in turn.

Losing empathy is not normal and is a symptom of burn out. I hope you find the support it sounds like you might need to heal from whatever you have going on irl.

Exactly my thought. It’s nothing to do with jealousy and just kind of convenient if you need to meet up or are seeing if they’re on their way home and can get dinner started or whatever.

Agreed. But also, i wouldn’t trust anything in the hands of the Supreme Court right now.

What would the articles be about? I think there’s some options to see previous issues in there, not sure if it goes back that far though.

Also, eloping?

Jesus

Since the beginning of February, at least 61 Afghans, including nine women, have been flogged in sports stadiums packed with ordinary citizens and Taliban officials from the judiciary and administration, according to data from the top court. The individuals were accused of adultery, eloping, sodomy and robbery, with many of them also receiving prison sentences ranging from several months to six years.

Well, today I learned the roof of my mouth is ticklish. I can’t even get through one letter!

Stupid question. How do you then get cash for that wherever you end up? Do you need a bank account?
