Rojava/DNAS has some good ideas.

I think there will be a sudden abundance when food waste is distributed instead of landfilled, housing is rent free and not locked away as an investment.

Most of the systems that make society function are already not profit motivated so most will continue to function in transition. We see this happen every natural disaster, the workers of a critical facility sticking through because their work is meaningful.

Won’t be totally comfortable but i disagree with the opinion it will be a death sentence for many.

I realized it was causing a lot of anxiety for me. Easy quit after that because the reward was less anxiety after a few days.

I don’t get the stipulation. Using it to help community and fix the system would be using it for my own interest. I would be doing that for myself because i selfishly want to live in a better world. Furthermore, that would require i don’t pay taxes so it’s kind of a liability unless it’s permanently locked away in investments.

Maybe i keep that money invested to back debt so i can borrow and give the banks money away. 🤷

Iteration isn’t a claim that the predecessor was a failure though, you iterate on the successes of the prior generation. It used to be that technology advanced so rapidly that the cutting edge became obsolete in a matter of a few years, but for that time it was a success.

I think there’s also an assumption of design philosophy here. One designer might put many generalized requirements into their design, then you get Google glasses, AI, NFTs and so on. This means everything is a failure because it couldn’t achieve the requirements. Others may pick a small set of very specific requirements, then you get the iPhone or a Toyota hilux. These are massive successes because they had cohesion in the idea and planned as to about compromise.

Yeah I don’t mean every model, make, and year is good but almost every house has one here where it’s -15C 3mo of the year and often -20C and below.

Heat pumps work great and are super common to install on homes where winter temps drop well below that. They’re so efficient they’re worth it even if you use supplemental heat for the coldest part of the year.

Andor was indeed great

I replaced meats with soy proteins and beans. It was fairly 1:1. Not a vegan diet but pretty easy depending on what’s available in your area.

I should learn how to make that cashew cheese…

All trauma and people are different. I’m not prescribing anything.

When i was going through mine from a severe work accident i had to not just sit with the feeling and adrenaline waking up after watching meaningless gore-filled horror shows in my dreams but push into it. Feeling it as hard as i possibly could telling myself that I WANTED and NEEDED to feel it, trying my best to think about every detail of it. It was horrible to experience that, but in the moment i was focused on seeing my trauma and getting to know it.

It seemed the deeper into it i went the faster it receded over time. The worst of it, fits of adrenaline filled crippling anxiety, went from daily to null over 3 years. The wincing about the thought dulled over the following few. I settled at some point on just having a heightened internal sense of empathy. It’s probably why i avoid a lot of visual format social media.

I hope you find a method that works for you. You may not get back to your old normal but you can get to a normal where you can live life in whole again free from this pain.

They’ll claim it gave them probable cause.

Don’t forget about your French neighbors who have been looking to get one over on those ruffians.

Is it so hard to hold in your mind the concept that multiple countries may be evil?

Or are you just saying one is worse than the other? If so, why even? They both need dismantling.

Ever wonder why your ass cheeks feel wet after a multi-flusher?

I think you need more fiber in your diet…

😂 it’s prefect!

I also hate it when they take up a ton of space in public.

Congrats! It ain’t cheap and it’s truly a ton of work.

Sometimes i miss that place 😆 what i wouldn’t give for some Chopollos or Delta rn…

It’s ok to be proud of something you did without overcoming great challenge.

• New job
• big progress in my drawing (went digital)
• started climbing (a lot)
• started building community in the new city
• joined a hiking club
• paid off the last of my high interest debts

Pretty good later half of the year!

I’m looking forward to building more of a core social group, traveling a bit, and climbing outdoors.

Happy new years!

Yeah 😅 controlling anger is a survival tactic

Sound like a great relationship 😁

I’m glad people are enjoying their time and leisure, just leave some lanes open. I’d rather they enjoy their day instead of getting bumped while I’m on my way to work.
