I live in the hills, and this is fairly true, though its mostly misdemeanor drug crimes now, in the system and back to jail once a year to do a short bid. Maybe a trip up state on a repeat charge depending. Lots of corrupt POS old money judges on the bench.

It's a different story of systematic failure tbh.

This guys quote is a poor generalization imo.

Some of them do. That's the problem. Those people at the core are fascists with a cult following, some manipulated, others true believers. Religious dogma that isn't acceptance is dangerous af for the human mind.

Jesus was a leftist

He doesn't even lie as far as I'm concerned.

"Were gon be shitty and tribal cuz muh nature"

The creation of the universe is a miracle ✨️

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

I took the techninothingcolor pill, and I create my own reality.

Yea putting it on paper makes it real, easier to decipher, discard, and make true. I love writing and I'm far better at communicating that way than speaking. Public speaking for me is a confidence issue. It takes me forever to get comfortable with someone, and a little longer to be open and spontaneous. I'm good once I get there, but ultimately I'm better at writing than speaking. I find myself dumbing things down, for others and myself, to the point of intelligibility lol.

These kinds of posts are what I'm here for.

I relate so much to this. For me, I've largely become a recluse. This is the most I interact with people at large. I have not been diagnosed, in fact I have only seen a regular doctor once in my adult life.

My best friend was autistic, and I believe he rubbed off on me in a way, in how I think about the world, and myself. That's my only explanation.

So I really feel your emotions here, as I'm super similar to you. I'm not sure what your best move is, but I just want to tell you that you are far more beautiful than you allow yourself to be, and no person is worth you suppressing yourself. Water it down, sure, but I think you should try to open up to the roomies a little at a time, and you may be surprised to find that they find you to be a wonderful human being, and extremely relatable.

Now I know this approach doesn't work with everyone, trust me, which is why I am very picky with who I surround myself with, but I think you have a unique perspective and experience that could better this world.

Thanks for opening up, and I'm sorry if I was unhelpful, I just thought I'd say HI and let you know I appreciate you.

I've always been a fan of his. I first read it in like 9th grade and it sort of blew my little mind, and opened me up to a universe of thoughts from others, like yourself. I'm definitely thankful for people like you, pushing boundaries, for none of us can do it alone and expect any great change.

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 too am an expert on all things lol

Absolutely. This is the only social media I use, cause i get really good stipulation here, otherwise I ignore my phone and have largely cut a lot of the b s out of my life. I'm a recluse by nature, so I feel you all the way.

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.

Thanks! Bookmarked (I got a ton of lemmy bookmarks, lots of reading to do lol)

I actually don't have a Nintendo, but I saw Gothic and just had to comment. Lol.

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

College has just been out of reach for me. At 15 I had to start working to help my family get by. It was hard not to feel contempt, because I love learning. I'm also more of a "flapping in the wind" person for sure, so back then I'd probably have done meh in college lol.

I try not to let it hamper my self education, but only so much I can do. Most of my peers went to college, and I feel like we have just very very different experiences in the world. I remember when my friends started at school, and they were from fairly well off families, and I thought it was funny that their biggest lessons were how to function as an adult, while I had been doing that for a time already. It was hard not to scoff at higher education which was an unhealthy defense mechanism on my part.

I appreciate all you people out there looking out for me and feeding me specialized bits of knowledge that I lack.

I feel like most people on lemmy are just way more educated than I am, and there is still some feelings I have that I don't like within my self. Like the need to maybe overcompensate, which is really dumb, but there is also a fair amount of "talking down to" that I have experienced from educated people I really consider my peers on an intellectual level.

I'm just rambling and my experience is obviously more nuanced than what I can formulate here.

We need to fix education, which is a sympton of the economic system itself imo. Not everyone can go to college, thats a design. There needs to be human sacrifices for the well being of many, and that's really sad. At the end of the day, I wouldn't trade my experience for anything. End rant.

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 (:
