Not having children is my retirement. I will probably work till I’m old and gray so I just tuck what I can away, buy things that hold value, and live my life.

What were we talking about?

Hey you sound just like me. If your going to move, perhaps somewhere like PA? It’s got the benefit of being a battleground state, and there’s more than enough rural areas, even relatively close to the cities, where you can continue your hermitage. I’m doing something similar (:

I’m at the “I’m actually glad I experienced all that crazy traumatic stuff” stage of the gas lighting.

It’d be Jesus for me. I love a highly principled man telling me what to do.

Look it’s a commie! Get that dirty hippy!

Where the jewels?!

The wheels fell off this one for sure

Make a meal, you will get better at it every time and figure out your own method and feel. New things I use recipes for as reference. At first you will just wanna take your time and don’t stress yourself out.

It took me a while to realize how fundamentally important boundaries were to my mental health and well being. It’s super simple, so its often overlooked. It solves many many issues.

The whole reddit thing aligned with other events in my life that pissed my sensibilities off, even more than i can usually stand, and i have learned to stand alot. It made me realize how much of my life was at the whims of greedy fucks who I don’t agree with at all. Evolution through revolution I guess. woke me up in a way, a feeling that I’ve long forgotten tbh with you all. And that’s mostly because of all of you and your ideas.

Lemmy is just good for me.

Those out for self interest are shortsighted, and what WE are doing is pushing in the right direction IMHO. Someone’s gotta push and here we are.

That’s cause they’re all about my self interest🥰

The creation of the universe is a miracle ✨️

The creation of lemmy is an extension of that, and the boundaries of collective of thought.

Consciousness is a crazy thing. It’s such a unique state of being for matter to take, and it wouldn’t surprise me if Consciousness was, itself, a force that could be measured. After all, we as conscious beings can alter the world around us in everyway, only limited by our physical bodies. Perhaps Consciousness is it’s own universe, that we have only begun to understand. In my life I’ve experienced things I can’t explain, but I’d call much of it extreme empathy, like Consciousness is all linked, where with practice, thoughts, feelings, and vibration can be transmitted through it, like radio signals. Perhaps it’s more simple than that, or not at all, but I enjoy dreaming (:

This checks out in my addled thought experiments.

Like before or during the creation of the universe, there was matter, and it’s opposite. They canceled each other out, but there just so happened to be a tiny tiny bit more matter than anti matter, so we have a universe largely made of matter. Would we even be able to tell a difference if it was anti matter that won out? -my vague recollection of a science channel show.

Creation itself is the battle between nothing, and everything, like a battery, it is one thing. Duality is an invention of man.

It’s my favorite thing to think about.

As my uncle used to say, who just died the other day and who’s body is stuck in Mexico lol:

“There is no duality Baba!”

I was literally just realizing that now. I just checked inbox for the first time, and it’s pretty annoying. I would mind less if there was at least the entire comment chain within that top comment, cause I often forget what the hell I even said. I was using jerboa before, and there are features I’m really really missing. Sync would be great for perpetual lurker, but I’m addicted to commenting lol. No post creation also a drag, so I’ll just use sync and jerboa in tandem for now.

Yea that’s fair, and tbh, the way I live my day to day, I probably won’t end up ever seeing it. Lol

I used jerboa for last few months, but I got sync the other day, and it is very smooth but I’m really missing certain things from jerboa I found super intuitive. Also in sync I can’t seem to highlight, copy, paste from a posted comment…perhaps that’s a paid feature only? Also no post creation is kinda lame, and I hope that is not behind a pay wall too. …I don’t mind paying guy for his work, but I can’t afford it.

I was also a RiF user (:

Oh that sounds more of a nuanced theme than I was expecting. Cool.
