State governments are now giving billionaire sports team owners subsidies to build new stadiums and renovate older stadiums, but the tax payers have to pay for it, and pay to get in and everything else.

You find the flow snow, yeah…

Listened to MASS for the first time and it’s a very serviceable album by Ruki & co. I like it better than I did NINTH which turned me off of them completely, which is kind of crazy since I loved DOGMA and pretty much everything before it except for DIVISION and BEAUTIFUL DEFORMITY.

:thinking:

The AA= sound has changed so much since #1 in 2009.

Rewatching this since he’s successfully gotten the song stuck in my head by randomly singing it in every stream.

God, the way that he sounds like he’s slowly being stung by more and more bees with each round.

Oh I can schee the shunnn…

Just now discovering that there’s a DDJ YouTube channel with a bunch of longish videos. https://youtube.com/channel/UCVoWsX-rOLHTzfLEOrI0C-Q

Hell froze over, Snowden is now an official citizen of Russia. Now let’s get Assange out of prison. :crossed_fingers:t2:

Why must there be spice receptors in the ass hole?

What the hell were the early humans stuffing in their butts that they had to evolve spice receptors in the place of excrement?

They appear in the anus because they appear pretty much everywhere in the peripheral nervous system. What you’re thinking of as a “capsaicin receptors” is more properly known as the TRPV1 receptor, one of a family of transient receptor protein (TRP) receptors.

I had a shitty day, the only thing that made me feel better was when a 19yo co-worker seemed to think I was in my mid twenties lmao

Completely random (but this is the place …) : This stuff on entropy is a very… common / acceptable religious belief / practice even but there is also the belief that life works more like that parable of a broke city in which a foreign man invests a penny on a hotel room and the money spins, so …

Also related in a very random way my own OCD that’s getting real bad again (what a surprise! Except Not, and now I am a grown up adult instead of a kid and can’t really change classes to remake my life and escape my past lol.) made me think of it. To what extent do you (general you = people) believe you (they) are responsible for other people’s mental well-being?

Like I am usually VERY mild mannered but my OCD triggers every kind of shit, OCD makes me go from “bee lover” to “will commit murder” easily/quickly. No hyperbole & I KNOW it. My OCD recedes on occasion and is treatment-resistant so it’s not a matter of “just get treatment!” . Taking into account that it works in the same way as my mom’s who was about to be sent to a hospice (because this is how it went in the 70s basically) a few years after the meningitis epidemic before mysteriously getting better I am fully aware there is a genetic component too. Because I know it I do EVERYTHING that I can to AVOID triggering it. I know the triggers. I avoid them. I don’t want to murder. Just like a diabetic person doesn’t eat 5 kilograms of chocolate cake in one sitting, I don’t expose myself to whatever I know may trigger my health issue.

While it is a well-known and agreed upon fact that giving an alcoholic beverage to a recovering alcoholic, pot to a recovering addict or telling a diabetic person to eat a huge cake aren’t nice things to do the line is a bit blurrier when it comes to other kinds of diseases - among which OCD - and people just don’t know and don’t care. Sometimes both, sometimes either.

Cue the pandemic and some people feel ABSURDLY entitled to tell others whether they should wear a mask or not or what cautions to take. Now, I can prove A + B that I am legitimately anemic and undergoing treatment so it doesn’t bother me TOO MUCH as I tell others off, but I am not taking measures like wearing masks because of it I am doing it because my OCD is back and it’s the kind that is a) ERP resistant, b) SSRI resistant and c) heals through persistent care / time / natural components (and not talking about it is a MUST too) . AKA the kind that shrinks want shit to do with lol

If you KNOW someone has a mental illness like in my case OCD and do shit to mess with them, how responsible do you think you are when they throw a fit?

For the diseases I pointed above (diabetes, alcoholism, drug addiction) it’s mostly agreed upon that the person who triggered it is at least A BIT at fault. The same doesn’t happen at all when it comes to things like OCD or schizophrenia - there is a tendency to blame THE TRIGGERED VICTIM who often did everything they could to warn … others … of their illness … :slight_smile:

So yeah. Sometimes I get THIS close to just breaking things and wrecking havoc. Just … reverse the way the wheel is spinning. Be the one to start the mess. What stops me isn’t the awareness that I am going to be blamed because (above) it’s how quick I manage to sanitize everything before I lose my mind completely. Which is often very, not only time-consuming, but also difficult because I AM FUCKING ANEMIC AND FATIGUED. Right now my bedroom door is closed and I am wearing toilet paper in my nostrils because my father stepped inside this apartment with his clothes from outside and I can fucking smell it, trying to … motivate myself and feel enough energy to clean up for the next hours, tomorrow who knows?

So yeah. Maybe I will fail eventually to dispell someone’s ill intentions. Probably really close to it actually taking into account that my doctor said I need to go back to work and I agreed and I need my fucking pay lol. Lived to this day “normally” and hiding this stuff very successfully because this is how I wanna live, paying my taxes instead of being hospitalized. And I keep thinking of how I will be blamed for it.

Jesus Christ, this was a lot of venting, but yeah. In short? Fuck everyone.

There’s this notion implicit in modern culture that asserts that carnality is both natural and thereby “good”, and that spirituality is unnatural, oherwordly, and somehow disconnected from “real life”. It seems to make sense until truly you look and see that reality simply doesn’t play out as that notion would entail.

Personally, I’d submit that the spiritual is just as natural as the carnal, and that the two domains are intrisically linked with one another. It’s just that we default to the carnal when we are both ignorant of and untrained in the spiritual. Spirituality is like a muscle - it will atrophy if not used, but it can also be trained to grow and become stronger through proper knowledge and application.

For better or worse.

What MiA has done with his career since Mejibray broke up is the biggest waste of talent maybe in the history of VK. At least he’s enjoying himself though. :man_shrugging:t2:

Feeling kinda. idk

Just ~ elections month ~ but also the month in which I am supposed to finish collegework and go back to my dreaded job and there are so many bad things to look forward to lol. No amount of music or Genshin seems to be able to lift the weight off my chest, wish I could just sleep for 3 weeks or something
