I think Santa-deniers (asantaists) need to keep a more open mind about the possible existence of Santa.

Just because they haven't seen any proof of Santa's existence doesn't mean they can prove that Santa doesn't exist. If they can't disprove Santa's existence, why should I allow their lack of imagination to take away all of my traditions that are based around the acceptance of Santa's existence?

^ I think the issue is that some people are concrete thinkers, so they struggle when it comes to believing in things they can’t see for themselves like Santa and invisible, pink dragons in garages. I’m clearly impacted by those things in ways that can’t be observed or measured. I’m not going to say much about folks who claim to have had experiences and still don’t believe. Clearly, their experiences weren’t real experiences…

I don't want Canada or Greenland to become States territory. I don't want my country sharing it's problems with others. Have you seen our national debt? Have you seen our healthcare system? Have you seen how our government operates? No country wants that.

It's possible that humans may not be social animals itself.

But the soul is.
And experiences loneliness is born from the illusion of separation.

Thus the assumption that humans are social animals. I can concede that the soul is social but it doesn't feel loneliness either.

But what about the 'animal' in the human?

And that humans in survival mode just uses their greater cognition that created what everyone knows as socialization as a tool to survive.

They could've chose anything else if souls do not exists nor shine as brightly.
Humans have such capacity to choose as a means to survive otherwise.

So humans associates socialization as a means to survive.
But to remove the mandatory survival aspects tied to socialization, made socialization more optional.

Thus questioning if humans are actually social animals...
That itself is an illusion, a tool, and interface.

In reality, there is no such thing as a social need, but itself is a construct or an illusion through conditioning.

So...
Yeah.

It may be why I don't feel loneliness.
My body has no need nor ended up getting conditioned to want socialization.
My soul is already past need, knew better than 'assume' separation.

Thus no illusions of loneliness for me.
But too many people do. :lol: I just... Chose not to play their game.

Half of Donnie Dementia's supporters are shouting Sieg Heil and the other half are trying to convince us they're actually just saying Seek Kyle.

Do you ever feel like you're aware of the fourth wall every time recent historical events degrade in quality and think whoever's writing history is running out of ideas?

I feel this way every single day.

I’m concerned that the media frenzy centered around the released hostages is infringing on their privacy. I suspect it’s going to be an ongoing issue for a long time that will lead to a lot of secondary wounding.

Is this like when Britney Spears had that song "If You Seek Amy"? We all know what she meant. :wink:

Say the words fast, and it sounds like something else.

Right wingers make fun of how they think socialists want to print even more money just to improve the economy.

Both DO have an understanding that doing so will destroy the dollar's value.

When Trump comes up with the same solution, he's suddenly a bloody f***ing genius especially when he'll try to print new bills with his likeness on them.

Stop the madness, I want to jump off.

Musk effectively bought Trump's presidency, but if he thinks that makes him untouchable, he's in for a surprise:
Trump is notorious for not paying his contractors.

I wonder how people can be thankful to a deity after going through very traumatic experiences. Personally speaking, I was not thankful to the god I was raised with at any point after unpleasant ordeals during the time when I was trying very hard to be a believer. I wanted to tell him to go f**k himself. It was so hard not to say just that during our imaginary chats. “f**k you! I’m so sorry! I totally didn’t mean that! It was Satan causing mischief again. You know how it is. Hmmm… Maybe I should try my luck with Satan for all the good Jehovah does me. Goddamnit, there I go again…”

If a deity is all-powerful, he’s capable of preventing victimization. If he chooses not to, he’s at least partially culpable. The situation would be comparable to a big, strong man seeing an extremely weak individual abusing a child and deciding not to interfere. Disgusting.

I’m thankful that Jehovah isn’t real because I can’t get past the horror of that.

I’m not judging people who are thankful. I just don’t fully understand it. Sometimes I’m in awe of people’s strength and resiliency. It seems a bit of a shame to give any credit to a god, especially a god who is “jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.” Often in holy books, the deity endorses the very trauma people experienced, not that everyone believes in inerrancy.

Just something I needed to get off my chest. I suppose if faith gives people comfort and enables them to survive for that reason it can be a very good thing.

I wonder how much do people realize that articulation and expression is irrelevant when it came to putting up certain barriers, communicating certain aches and health?

Especially even amongst autistics.

Articulation and expression doesn't offset lack of inner discernment, lack of interoception, lack of knowing that something isn't really normal or healthy all along, or the overall thought and feeling (regardless how accurate) that something isn't supposed to be that way only to be judged or dismissed?


Like, I can complain about my body since I was 15 or so.
Like a broken record. And no amount of self expression is going to 'process it', because it's not even in the head and there's nothing in there to process.

Now I got the contrast of not experiencing the crap and confirmed that I was right -- that's when I get better words for it.

I can imagine what it is like *before* experiencing the contrast, but I had no evidence...
Now I have evidence, ones I gathered on my own. :roll:


It's really, really stupid, really.
I can complain, complain, complain. And nothing.

Until -- I stop complaining, I said what worked instead and ask why is that.
And instead people wanted to investigate instead of faux assuring me. :roll:

Fricking stupid. Frick it, really.

Quote:
Did you know that Canada is the largest supplier of energy to the U.S.? In 2021, Canada supplied the U.S. with 61% of its crude oil imports. And in 2020, Canada supplied the U.S. with 98% of its natural gas imports, 93% of its electricity imports, and 28% of its uranium purchases, helping power millions of homes, businesses and cities from coast to coast.


Time to cut 'em off.

The only DEI that's relevant right now? Donald's Economic Incompetence
