When I was 14, I had an albino dwarf rabbit as a pet. His name was Peter Rabbit coz my dad wouldn't let me call him Spock. But I also don't have anything against purple ladybugs. You know, I could go either way. Is this some kind of competition?
My toxic habit when I'm angry enough to cry, is drinking wine and watching trashy Taiwanese dramas. Anyone wanna guess what I'm doing right now? π·π
No I actually don't want to talk about the infuriating situation that's making me angry... Or my taste in dramas, the latter could be quite embarrassing. π³
I just wanted to rant a bit for the sake of it.
nostr:npub1q6ya7kz84rfnw6yjmg5kyttuplwpauv43a9ug3cajztx4g0v48eqhtt3sh and I were talking about the modern conveniences we enjoy and the negative effects they have in the way of corporate cronyism this morning.
There's an episode of the Huberman Labs podcast where Huberman tells Goggins that there is a part of the brain that literally grows or shrinks in response to doing things we dot want to put effort into versus when we procrastinate or refuse to do what we know we should do. So it's not a muscle, it's a part of the brain but you have the right idea.
Welcome π
My husband is too even though he knows how inflation works π
Thanks. I got the nick name when I was 14 because I can draw a mouse in less than 3 seconds, and compulsively stamped them *everywhere* I went π π€£
In today's #InkblotArt I see a snow angel.
I wish π
I'll guarantee you have more than me. So go ahead and feel good about yourself. I'll just be here in the corner, crying.
Oh you've noticed your new car acting in ways you don't like too? I assumed I couldn't be the only one but I don't hear people talking about it. It's actually my nostr based apps it tries to connect to first over YouTube or Spotify and that is why it bothers me. I go through my phone and turn them off before turning the car on.
My new car is on a novated lease, because the government throws money at you to buy EVs that way. So it's mine for three years at which point I hope to sell it for a profit once we consider how much of my weekly costs are covered by tax savings and not buying fuel. Until legislation changes make EV ownership too annoying, I consider it an asset. Just one I can't really relax around.
I hadn't heard of him before.
I wasn't aware that feudalism involved swearing loyalty to anything. I just know it involved overlapping loyalties to a variety of constructs.
I know my new car attaches itself to everything on my phone via bluetooth, even things I wish it wouldn't, and I suspect things I can't access myself which is a little weird. It's a vague nuisance to me as I wonder why it prioritises collecting useless data on me π€
I'm still trying to understand if corporations have any real territory that they "rent" to people. My friend who introduced me to the term runs an etsy shop which penalises him for seemingly inconsequential 'reasons'. He says it should be understood that companies that are not in fb are suddenly inconsequential and miss out on market share and its them, not the average user, who pays big money to corporations. Those corporations earn amounts that most of us could never imagine and can't use if they wanted to, and sometimes use to buy politicians to continue their earning streaks.
Cherry blossom.
I was today years old when I first heard the term 'technofeudalism'. I find it an interesting concept and worthy of some thought. Anyone have some interesting perspectives on it to share with me?
