there are two raccoons and one of them is staring at me weirdly. also this is a kfc. I’ll just leave the money in the trash.

sometimes they just need to sniff and feel the outside air to determine whether it would be a bad idea to actually go outside

from what I’ve heard from “genetically modified skeptic” (someone who grew up in an isolated fundamentalist christian community with homeschooling and now has changed and makes youtube videos about his experiences) the indoctrination is so serious and deep that many can’t escape it even as an adult, even with mountains of evidence, even when it would be to their benefit to drop old beliefs, and so i believe it’s not really their fault if they turn out to be hateful and dangerous people. even if they were at fault, i still don’t necessarily want people to die for misguided beliefs. I’m still debating whether that kind of compassion should also work for people like trump, vance, kirk, thiel, musk, etc. but imo it should work for regular religious fanatics.

personal freedom should end where it negatively affects others

if a soup is too salty you add some potatoes to absorb some of the salt, so i bet they do the same with oil, just more

you’re right, one can be bought legally and used to even be available on amazon and the other gets you in jail

i think one solution is to take notes while reading. maybe try and summarize the plot or write down some interesting things. I also read a lot and notes help keep things together. What I do after reading a book is to go through the highlights I made (which don’t take much effort in the moment) and see if I wanna make any of them permanent in my obsidian vault. That process takes from ten minutes to an hour per book, but that’s how insights stick. It gets you actually thinking about the book, instead of just experiencing it without much brain activity. But sometimes when I know I’m reading trash turning off my brain can be comfortable too.

as someone with autism and autistic meltdowns I have a lot of empathy for toddlers and small children. Some parts of my brain just haven’t grown up like the others.

i thought it was fine with the exception that it seemed to me like some plot was being skipped near the end. it’s good when viewed together with other people though.

if you use a google pixel with grapheneos, you can have multiple profiles that work similar enough to having multiple phones, with apps in each profile only being able to see what’s happening in that one profile, and if you close a profile every app in that profile is stopped completely
