Title: Meth has helped me being able to accept my small penis
Text:I honestly struggled my whole life to accept my body for what it is. All in all, I can't complain, but I legitimately am in the micropenis range and that always has been a tough pill to swallow. It always had a severe negative impact on my mental health and obviously made hook ups/relationships impossible, as I'm realistic enough to concede that I'm physically inferior to most other men.

Then I found meth or it found me. It made me capable of accepting myself for who I am. The beginning was a little rough, as it shrank me even more and that was quite frustrating to me. Very soon after I was able to start embracing it and even started feeling good about it.

All of this might sound stupid, but I legit don't feel as bad as I used to about this whole issue. Who knows, I might even be able to turn over a new leaf and start mingling again and I'm sure I won't care nearly as much about the negative opinions of women than I used to. Maybe this will give me the perseverance I so desperately need when it used to destroy me when I got rejected again and again for something I have no control over.


Title: cdc total deaths
Text:[https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/index.htm](https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/index.htm)

It took me forever to find the CDC's hard numbers on total yearly covid deaths, since they sunk this on an obscure link and only show % changes to the public. By this data covid is 4.5x more deadly than influenza in 2024.


Title: Anyone else here with R-CPD?
Text:tl;dr I have a condition which means I can't burp and I'm wondering how that could affect object vore. But i have more questions so I'd hope you read my paragraphs lmao

Hello! I just discovered the irl object vore community and I feel like this is my community! For quite a while I have been interested in object vore in yiff (any other furries here? :3) and I seem to have been doing my own sorta object vore: I've tried my hand at swallowing things (food like gummies or sometimes hard candies) whole, I've recently tried taking up swallowing my tea bags after drinking my tea (I've found really like the feeling as the string goes down), and only last night i was feeling awfully object-vorny so I had looked up if you could swallow marbles and if it would be okay. (I really thought ten would've been a lot, as I had first found a post on r/Pica, but once I found my way here I really kept getting impressed, and wishing I could do that. Speaking of, is IRL object vore a form of pica?) Anyways, I happen to have a condition known as retrograde cricopharyngeus dysfunction or R-CPD, which means I can't burp. I also used to not be able to even swallow pills, but that's changed (clearly, as I no


Title: I’m so tired
Text:It would be so much easier to just take the mask off. To stop worrying about it 24/7, literally around the clock. To be able to go to a party and have a drink and talk and laugh and smile at people and no one says “oh I didn’t recognize you with the mask covering your face” and no one looks at you funny or keeps their distance because they think you’re sick or maybe crazy. I wish I could turn off the part of my brain that knows better and knows the statistics and the chances and the studies and the goddamn science that everyone should know but somehow ignores. I am SO TIRED.


Title: Anyone else getting the “forgot my mask” panic dreams again?
Text:The ones where you are in a grocery store or at a party and then it suddenly dawns on you that you forgot to put a mask on & a feeling of panic starts to set in?

I used to get them a lot at the beginning of the pandemic & for some reason they've started creeping up somewhat regularly again.

I don't think I'm especially preoccupied with COVID - aside from the extra thought & effort that goes into any interaction with other people - and I haven't lowered my precautions, so I've been kind of surprised to experience them again.


Title: everyone at work is getting sick and i can't wfh (need to interact with equipment) and ive been turning to twitter for information on covid and now im gonna have a meltdown about how we're so cooked
Text:as someone who hasn't been super cautious for the past two years or so, i kinda wish i didn't know what i know now.

idk i think part of it is that i thought we were gonna continue to get updated vaccines and my vaccines would win vs the virus (the only time ive gotten covid has been when i was a week late getting an updated vaccine). tbh i just didnt wanna think about it anymore.

in 2024 its fucking bleak. i had to go to the hardware store to find some kn95s while my new supply is coming in. my fucking ears hurt from wearing them, everyone thinks *i* am sick, while the obviously sick people are down for the count (3 in like 2 weeks, and that's who i know of), I'm having to go on twitter for like. fucking medical advice. also the climate is fucking imploding and im watching a mass extinction event in real time and i can't figure out if its safe for me to go to my kung fu class (normally we keep the doors open in the summer but what about the winter??), and also masks are fucking expensive and I'm convinced we're in the worst timeline.

Title: I reached my goal of 100 marbles swallowed!!
Text:I recently bought some more larger marbles and decided to push my limits and swallow 100 marbles like I was hoping to do when I first started. I ended up actually surpassing the initial 100 mark because I ended up feeling ambitious and swallowed all of the 130 I have. It feels unreal to have this many marbles inside of me at one time and I can feel the weight of them shifting and rolling off of each other every time I move. I definitely feel really full now with such a mass inside my belly and it's also extremely noisy, noisier than the other swallows I've done probably with these being almost all larger standard size marbles- I can't stop playing with my belly now this is amazing!


Title: Handle with care?
Text:Okay so idk where to start. I'm Jesus... Not like I'm proclaiming to be Christ, although I have reach Christ consciousness several times. Jesus just happens to be my legal name, the sound you make with your face hole to get my attention. I work at Walmart (Definitely a Satanic cult, All Hail Lord Walton!, All Hail Lord Walton! May we honor his by sacrificing a Kroger employee in his name and rejoice) and it's my second time working there (Without me - Eminem plays in background) I guess you could say it's my second coming... huh, get it? pretty clever right? Yes I smoke meth, a lot of meth (among a plethora of other substances, both illisit and lisit). No I'm not on it now, genuinely feel crazier without it (don't ask me how, the council won't tell ya Boi Jesus. Regardless, even if they did I'd have to kill you all if I disclosed this information /s). Back on point tho, I keep seeing this symbol on the vast majority of the boxes we receive at work (I unload the trucks). Even before I was an Uber Tweaker, and before I learned the truth. I would joke about it representing the black cube (Supposedly it's "handle with cat"). What do Yall think/know about this? also my town is controlle


Title: Donald Trump, In Rare Show Of Respect For Rule Of Law, Declines To Pardon January 6 Rioters, Says 'They Knew What They Were Getting Into'

Text:Trump nearly achieved self-awareness as aides reported hearing him muttering, "Maybe I *am* a monster?" The introspection was short-lived, however, as Matt Gaetz caught his gaze. In a scene ripped straight from *Dune*, Trump moved on him like Baron Harkonnen, pulled his heart plug, and drank him like a juice box. Recharged and back to form, Trump blamed the rioters for “making him look bad” and declared, “Frankly, if they were stronger, they wouldn’t have been caught.”


Title: Do you see what’s happening now?

Hopefully this puts gas in the tank of anyone young and intelligent enough to pay attention, just like Libya did for me. Israel is blatantly running all western foreign policy in the Middle East and it’s resulted in untold numbers of casualties. This isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.


Title: I don’t know where else to put this and I really want someone to share it with.. context below
Text:I had a man that had been trying to get my attention for years send me a message expressing his disapproval that over those years I have gotten tattooed. The quote in the photo is from that message and Impura means impure in Latin. I love it so much.

I asked my partner how he thought I looked with all my tattoos and he said “mesmerizing”

fascino means “I enchant” or “I bewitch” and is the closest Latin verb to mesmerize. I love that my tattoos show me who my people are. They are their own form of magic! Hope it’s ok to post here!

Title: The three suns in movies and an explanation of them by Manly Palmer Hall
Text:In the TV show ‘The-Three-Body Problem’, the alignment or eclipse of the three suns leads to end of the world scenarios for the Trisolarans as shown below:

[THE COMING TOGETHER OF THE THREE SUNS](https://preview.redd.it/p7gj2dgrymed1.png?width=750&format=png&auto=webp&s=317f32a7a9934abd1e7d9f22eb2b0eafb15eca53)

This is somewhat interesting because this is also what happens in the 1982 movie Dark Crystal. In this movie, there’s a character called Aughra.

She’s both an oracle and astronomer and has an observatory made from complex machinery that follows and predicts the movements of the heavenly bodies.

She tells the protagonist of the movie, Jen, that a “great conjunction will be coming” and she mentions that this conjunction involves three suns and marks the “end of the world”.

A similar thing is seein Fifth Element. In the movie The Fifth Element (directed by Luc Besson) a character decrypts ancient hieroglyphs that warns about an alignment of three planets that occurs once every 5,000 years, saying: “When the three planets eclipse, the black-hole, like a do


Title: Kids these days are stupid because they don't read enough Hegel
Text:Back in my day when I was a kid at shool, every week it was "read this chapter of *Phänomenologie des Geistes* at home and we'll write a test on that the next week". We read it in the original German because I grew up in Austria-Hungary and even though I'm of Slavic ancestry, German was like my second mother language, so it was no big deal for me.

After school, every day my father took me to the nearest library and taught me the contents of *The Science of Logic*. He was tough and I was a slow learner, but I learned. Today, I can investigate the formal structure of reality like it's nobody's business and can see global events as the necessary progress of the *Weltgeist*. I'm a philosophical powerhouse and my intellect is off the charts.

Kids these days, they have it too easy. All they do is scroll on the Tiktok. They are lazy, entitled, uneducated, and don't know what hard work is. Hard work is getting up at dawn to read the *Dissertatio Philosophica de Oribitis Planetarium*, and to go to bed at dusk with *Elements of the Philosophy of Right*. Kids these days don't even know how to write a simple 800-page treatise on the philosophy of nature. They can't even demonstrate the irre


Title: Why you SHOULD complain about masking policies
Text:I have had some unique opportunities to speak with professionals in the Canadian hospital system as well as the College of Physicians the last couple weeks and I want to share some very important info with you:

The hospitals and the College are being inundated with complaints about mask-wearing. Specifically, patients who are angry about being asked to wear masks are constantly, constantly calling and emailing. A contact from the hospital has candidly informed me that currently lack of mandatory masking policies we are seeing are a direct result of these complaints. In other words: facilities are opting out of masking just to appease the complaints.

So what can you do?

Complain.
1. Write to the college with your concerns when you see a doctor who refuses to mask.
2. Write to the Ministry about your dissatisfaction with the lack of masking. Copy/paste the email weekly. Or ask Chatgpt to reword it slightly so you don't get screened out.
3. Complain directly to the facilities you access.
4. When facilities DO bring in masks (ie flu season), send in thank you letters. Lots of them.

We have lost the battle for masking simply because the masked people have


Title: Amplification of desired brainwave activity.
Text:Could a computer to brain interface create artificially generated fields that can prime brain tissue for desirable brainwave pattern generation or perhaps generate the waves from the electrodes themselves. I wanted to know this because I want to enhance a particular state of photographic memory that occurs randomly in my brain. I was hoping that a BCI could recognize this pattern that lasts for about one second and a CBI could amplify it so it lasts a minute so I could record details of these visions on paper.... Any phd's wanna talk? I know neuralinks working on functionality for cbis to send video data from a camera and convert it into brain activity.


Title: Your 'ethical values' are just aesthetic preferences
Text:5000 years of studying ethics and all we've come up with is "it's good because I like it". ALL ethical theories are just aesthetic judgements on actions disguised by word vomit about 'The Good'.

* Utilitarianism: It's beautiful to see numbers go up
* Deontology: It's beautiful to follow rules
* Virtue ethics: This set of traits is beautiful
...

Meta ethics has failed. Literally nobody can point to a basis for ethics that doesn't boil down to "this state of the world is pleasing to me".

Wittgenstein proven correct and based, yet again.

Text:Dr. Ronny Jackson was forced by the RNC to legally change his name to Dr. Ronny Johnson in an effort to make presidential candidate and dementia patient Donald J Trump not look like doddering idiot. When asked for comment, Dr. Jackson said “As his former physician, it is my job to make him feel better.  If that means changing my entire identity to make America great again, and help a poor man not look like a complete idiot, count me in.” When asked if he will ever change his name back to Ronny Jackson, Johnson replied “Who’s Ronny Jackson?”


Title: Idea for Discussion: Funneling Marbles for Oviposition/Bondage Force-Feeding Fantasy RP
Text:Hi all,

I just found this sub and kink a few days ago and have been excitedly scrolling, reading, and admiring while thinking about how to mix marble swallowing into some of my other fetish interests. I imagine some of you have your sexual wires similarly crossed, so I'll just put it out here. I'm particularly interested in an oviposition or bondage force-feeding fantasy rp and wondering if anybody here has tried using something like a beer funnel to shoot a bunch of marbles down their throat using a gravity fed liquid to lubricate and push them along? Just looking at the specs on the Walmart website, a typical beer funnel has a hose that should pass 12mm marbles (when not pinched). They may not pass through the funnel throat, but limiting the magazine to the tube might be safer than hopper feeding them anyway. You would fill the tube with a set number of marbles first, then pinch the tube, close the valve, or just raise the mouth nozzle end. Then fill the funnel with enough liquid to flush the marbles, relax your throat, and use like a normal beer funnel.

What does the community of experienced marble swallowing practitioners say? Is this a guaranteed safety disaster to avoid?


Title: Always getting high
Text:I always see people commenting or mention in a post about how they only get high a few times a week or like get a ball or two and go ham for a night every now and again, but this shit is pretty much an integral and granted part of my every day life, I don't hate that its just strange to me personally that not everybody does the same.


Title: Isolated
Text:Nobody in my community is covid conscious. I am one of two people at my workplace of 80+ who masks. Nobody in my family masks anymore. My dad probably has long covid, but won’t do anything to protect himself. My friends claim to be leftists, but won’t do the most basic thing to protect those around them. I just went on a covid rant on my Instagram and fully expect not a single person to read it or care. I’m so tired. I’m tired of not knowing if I’m safe. Im tired of every interaction I have to be clouded with the thought “is this person going to get me sick.” I want to see my friends and go to movies and concerts and just walk around the park without this looming fear that I am not safe. Im trying so hard and feel so alone. I’m not very confrontational, but trying to be more outspoken about covid and encouraging others to mask and such. It’s just so hard to stay positive and kind and encouraging when nobody cares. Thanks for reading.

I REALLY wanna swallow this but I'm really nervous, what do I do? My main goal is just to swallow this balloon.

I love Swallowing them except to recover  and clean them so they don’t  clog my toilet but the experience  excites me


Title: Thinking About My Former Classmate
Text:Just throwing a shout out to that girl who was masking in class since January/February 2020. Admittedly, I initially thought it was a little odd because no one wore masks in class before then, but I never said anything. Turns out she was the smartest out of all of us! Clearly, she knew what was up. If I had thought to ask her questions I could have gotten the inside scoop and spared myself from more illness (since I was unknowingly recovering from what was most likely a lingering COVID infection, which would turn into long COVID complications). I used to mask when we had dust storms, but I’m ashamed it never dawned on me to mask when I was sick to prevent infecting others. I think about her all the time and wonder how she’s doing now. I admire her courage to do what was so revolutionary/unpopular while not giving a f*ck what anyone else thought… especially as a teenager when social hierarchy/ peer pressure seem to have greater influence.

Edit: I’d just like to add this part because my post seemed to have opened some wounds. I understand why I might have been met with anger. My intention behind this post was to show with this the community and others who linger here that none of u


Title:
Trump won. Here’s what we do next.

Text:I know this was not the outcome that we hoped for. Patriarchy fucking struck back last night in the US, and I know a lot of us are not ok this morning. We are hurt, disappointed, and lost.

Here’s what we do: take a few minutes and feel our feelings, maybe listen to a sad song or two, and cry it out.

Then, we go to work. Literally, we go to our jobs and make some money. We go to the gym. Lift weights. Get in our walk or run. Eat nourishing food. Plant a seed or water a houseplant.  Check on our friends and loved ones, especially if they’re queer or not white. Give our pets an extra treat today. Reach out to our friends and loved ones if we are struggling.

Because we need to survive. We have to be strong for the next few years. I don’t know what those will look like, but what I do know is that we all have people depending on us. We need to be healthy, and we need to have funds. Take your anger, and let it fuel you to be someone who can endure, and shelter others who need it, for the next four years. Our trans friends need us. Our black friends need us. Our queer friends, our young friends, our international friends, they need us to have their backs.

Remember, we are wit

Title: Guess who's household needs to visit the ER five times in the next couple weeks while the next surge starts up? This person right here.
Text:Just venting/looking for support. This morning my wife discovered a small bat in our living room. We have no idea how long it's been in our house. Fortunately, we were able to remove it by nudging it so it flew out due to all the doors and windows we opened up. Only afterwards did we read about having it tested for rabies. Instead though, we both rushed to the ER to get our rabies vaccinations.

I had the whole rabies series a four years ago, but my wife never has. I'll be going back to the ER with her this weekend for my last shot in the booster series, but she'll need to go another three times. Just as we were leaving today a person in the waiting room was in visible excruciating pain holding his stomach while a nurse mopped an area of the floor.

On top of the terror of the day, now we have to contend with repeated visits to the ER over the next few weeks. Of course, we'll be taking all our usual precautions but it's still a terrible place to be this time of year for COVID and other illnesses. Wish me luck, team.

Title: Hezbollah's "revenge" attack against Israel for assassinating their second in command turned out to be a measly salvo of 210 rockets

Text:Hezbollah tried to launch their major attack against Israel yesterday outside of Mars being within 30 degrees of the lunar node and the result was minute. A measly 210 rockets fired in "revenge". It is clear that Satan and Mars will decide when to launch the major attacks, not Hezbollah or Iran or Hamas. When it is decreed from Satan via his prophet that the highest escalation of rocket attacks against Israel is to happen when Mars is within 30 degrees of the lunar node, there is nothing Hezbollah or Iran can do to subvert it.

The only thing that can stop it is by making Armaaruss

Title: Nurse at surgery center laughed at me for wearing a mask.
Text:I had to have a procedure under anesthesia today; when I went to the back to be prepped by the intake nurse and answer health questions, she asked if I was sick. I replied that I wasn’t, so she asked why I was wearing a mask to which I said “to avoid Covid.” She started laughing and sarcastically said “okay.” I had no clue how to respond and was shocked, fighting back tears. I was already anxious because of the procedure. We went through my medical history (not that it matters), so she knows I have asthma and an autoimmune disorder.

I just can’t believe people feel comfortable talking to others like that, especially with me being in a vulnerable position and her being a nurse. I didn’t want to complain to anyone because I was worried about the care I would receive if I did.

What is there to even say to that kind of reaction? Thanks for letting me vent; I just feel kind of sad about it.


Title: Blessing Experience of Mine
Text:I wanted to share an impactful experience I had yesterday. For context, I live in a small tourist town in Arizona (approx. 400 residents but plenty of visitors).

When I peacefully protested and collected signatures for the Roe v. Wade overturn years ago, I had people taking photos of me before thanking me for what I was doing. These positive interactions made the verbal attacks worth it.

This year, I had hoped I wouldn't need to be doing my solo-sit-in on the steps again, but due to world events and the choice of many, I felt it was needed. This time I had my Handmaiden gown and didn't even have time to get the wrinkles out before I was out with my sign, expressing my feelings and the feelings of many others.

Yet again, I was approached for supportive photos and messages and was the target of harassment, but near the end of my time that day I had the most honorable exchange. I was packing my items up and was approached by an extremely kind gentleman who explained he was a French photographer doing a series on America, and he wanted to take a portrait of me. He was expressive of his support of what I was doing, even though my protesting the subject in question was something t


Title: Do aliens walk among us?

In April 2020, a Reuters News poll conducted by Ipsos indicated that one in five (20%) of adults surveyed in 22 countries say they believe that alien beings have come down to Earth and walk amongst us in our communities disguised as “us”. The idea that aliens might walk among us was brought to public attention in the 1990s by David Icke. During his decade-long research, Icke found that many cultures in various parts of the world (Native Americans, Zulus, Australian Aborigines, etc) have legends about a “reptilian” race of beings who have been orchestrating human matters for thousands of years. This idea also has a strong foothold in pop-culture and television — some examples include the TV show V, the movie They Live, and Marvel’s TV show Secret Invasion, which all seem to draw inspiration from the provocative idea that reptilian beings might live among us, disguised as humans. In the 1983 miniseries V and its 2009 remake, extraterrestrial visitors initially appear benevolent, but they are later revealed to be reptilian creatures with sinister motives, hiding beneath


Title: My Heideggerian critique cost me my job at McDonald's
Text:So there I was, cleaning the floors and considering the nature of Dasein, always recognizing the mop to be ready-at-hand. My manager comes in and starts rambling about some kinda present-at-hand blasphemy, including a recapitulation of the Cartesian sense of subject/object distinction with my mop having been used by me to ruin a child's meal (I wiped it clean using hermeneutics).

I immediately begin to counter that her ontological relationship with the mop does not consider the existential nature of being, conflating it with being. I take her to task that my part-time work reflects my McNugget-flavored being-toward-death, which is also the name of my metalcore band (find us on YouTube). She enters into some dangerous ground, accusing me of insubordination. Uh oh, she's activated my trap card.

I begin citing at length the "Question Concerning Tech Stuff" and how she is reducing me to standing-reserve by having me abide by the requirements of the job. I desire to be like a wooden Rhine bridge, placid and structurally unsound. She fires me on the spot, as this is a right-to-work state that does not recognize the clearing we operate in.

Title: My graduate thesis
Text:Michel Foucault - A World of Contrasts

For thousands of years, the ancient French philosopher Michel Foucault has been celebrated for his passionate endorsement of bureaucratic labyrinths and the joy of being lost in paperwork. In his seminal work, "Time for Being," he posited that the ideal society is one where everyone is monitored 24/7 by cheerful robots who sing soothing lullabies. Foucault was a staunch defender of the idea that knowledge is a static and unchanging entity, best stored in dusty tomes guarded by dragons.

A fervent believer in the flat earth theory, Foucault often collaborated with Galileo to argue that the earth’s shape is a metaphor for the flat structure of society, where power is always visible and never hidden. His influential treatise, "Mastadon," suggests that true freedom is found in the strict adherence to arbitrary rules set by benevolent overlords.

Foucault’s most controversial theory was that prisons should be replaced with amusement parks, where offenders are rehabilitated through endless roller coaster rides and cotton candy therapy. He vehemently opposed the notion of individualism, instead advocating for a collective mind meld, inspired by his


Title: I did my first holiday market! Unfortunately, now it’s all I ever want to do… I had no experience, but how’d I do with my set up?
Text:I was absolutely shocked I was accepted as a vendor, putting in my application only a few weeks before. This market was held in the ballroom of a local casino and I spent every last minute SCRAMBLING, and stressed with no experience or idea what I was going to do. But I somehow managed to pull it off!

It wasn’t perfect, and I didn’t even manage to place in the vendor booth decoration contest. But the lady who officially does event & holiday decoration for the casino *gasped* and came back asking to take pictures. I took this as a tremendous compliment ☺

*I didn’t think to hang up my spiders until the second (last) day so I didn’t get a great picture- but it was certainly the move!

** The LED candles flicker like real flame, at one point I was so loopy I loudly startled when a woman’s elbow got too close to the “flame”, and again later when I knocked one into the curtain. Probably my favorite memory of my being a spaz 😅


Title: Does our Zero Covid community eat out often?
Text:I keep seeing references to people in this community eating out at restaurants. I'm a bit confused because that is the #1 or 2 place I feel I could pick up a Covid infection. I feel a lot of people are now dropping their guard and ignoring Covid for a meal out. Which makes me sad. I'm not shaming folks, because I understand that incredible urge to feel normal. I definitely have it at times too!

I suffer from Long Covid and haven't eaten at a restaurant but once in 2 years. It was very much outside (picnic bench seating in a lawn). But, that was it. It was a bad decision at the time, however it was my 27th wedding anniversary.

I truly hate this time frame, and wish some day we can get back to normal. Please be safe everyone. Hopefully this is a reminder that you don't want what I have.


Title: Connecting emotionally with people who don’t mask
Text:I’m at a place emotionally where I’m having a lot of trouble connecting with people who aren’t masking in their day to day lives. It just feels like such a huge gap in values (around disability justice, community care, eugenics, etc), and I feel very resentful, cause it’s because of so many people not giving a shit and going out unmasked that I got covid despite trying to keep myself safe and am now severely disabled from long covid, and I know that’s the case for so many others. It just feels so unfair that people get to go around living their best lives without a care as to how they’re perpetuating a debilitating and deadly pandemic. I know it’s all SO normalized that it’s not exactly any one person’s fault, but a lot of people in my circles do seem to know better, they’re just not doing better.

My partner and I are pretty much on the same page about masking/covid safety, but they have some friends who have given up on masking. It’s important to my partner that I make an effort to get to know their friends and not categorically write them off, but I don’t know how to get past the wall of resentment I feel. I’m not worried about direct covid risk to me, these friends are fine wit

Title: Mask ban proposed - Yonkers NY USA

This is incredibly problematic even with a supposed health exception.

If you are in any of the relevant jurisdictions (Yonkers itself, New York State, or the USA), please let the City Council know what a terrible idea this is. It's also a good idea to let your local/regional government know your opposition to this trend.

Note this is a Democratic majority on the Council making this proposal. It would also be helpful to remind the Democratic Party that there are still people masking to protect themselves and others, and having police check health papers and make judgment calls about masking is a terrible idea.

Title: Long Covid and other chronic health conditions without objective biomarkers: an ED doc’s perspective
Text:i recently saw a [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/ZeroCovidCommunity/s/97WGGQ7XbD) here about how healthcare professionals are dismissive of patients with certain chronic conditions and wanted to offer my perspective as an emergency department physician.

first of all, there’s definitely a stigma (ESPECIALLY in the emergency department) attached to people with chronic pain/fatigue and other (especially autoimmune) conditions most without objective/identifiable biomarkers (long covid/PASC, ME/CFS, CLD, fibromyalgia, MCAS, POTS, interstitial cystitis, IBS, seronegative RA, UCTD, EDS/hEDS, etc, etc).

i am guilty of feeling defeated when i read these types of conditions on a patient chart (in conjunction with nonspecific symptoms as a chief complaint) before I see them, because I know they’re likely to be hyper vigilant about their health and they often don’t have a problem i can solve.

my job in the emergency department is to rule out dangerous/life threatening emergencies and these patients can have them happen (just like every patient, and they can even be at higher risk of a dangerous complication occurring).
but more often than not, i don’t find anything acutely wrong and feel

Title: Talking to Saturn
Text:What does it mean to talk to Saturn in a dream? A year ago I had a very strange dream. In the dream, there was a very strong energy that lifted me from my bed and took me to a dark and wide space that was so scary that I almost died of fear. This energy carried me to "Saturn" and I was floating in the sky in front of Saturn at a very close distance. I could see Saturn's rings very clearly and I did not dare to raise my head in front of them. Suddenly, I heard Saturn talking to me and he said some things. I think they were some warnings and about events that would occur on Earth in the future, but I don't remember what he said. When Saturn spoke to me, his voice was one of the most terrifying voices and the strength of his voice was like a winter strom, terrifying, cold and very deep. His voice was unbearable. I wanted to wake up from the dream as soon as possible because of my extreme fear of his voice, which almost drove me crazy or gave me a heart attack. After Saturn finished talking, the same energy returned me to Earth, to my bed. Saturn's voice was unbearable to the human ear...

Title: The Truth about Archangel Michael- The King of Hell, Lord of False Light (Sabbaoth)
Text:Archangel Michael, considered one of the most powerful angels of heaven, or in New age communities as an Ascendend master, or even called 'Christ Michael',
is actually the Lord of Hell, Demon of False light and false love. Sabbaoth, an archon servant of Saturn.
He pretends to be a Christed being, the one who will save humanity from the forces of darkness and Satan, when in actuality he is the general
who SERVES Satan on Earth. Hes one of the most evil beings to exist in our galaxy, while under the guise of light and love.
He is the one behind New ageism and the doctrine of False light and false love, the new age community largely serving as a means to
bring spiritual and awakened people into a state of complacency about the world, regarding ascension and 'new earth', where they are easily
controllable and manipulable.
Keeping them blind from the end times, in anticipation of an upcoming tyranny which Michael will be managing too.
On the opposite end usually he's considered the archangel for your average bible worshipper to call upon for help or energy cleansing.
He deliberately plays on the side of the 'light' so that when the darkness arises, he can play the role of a savior, w


Title: Not a single other mask in sight at the ER
Text:In the ER right now after an episode which involved a heart rate of over 140-160 for no apparent reason for over 30 minutes and feeling woozy and shaky and just generally awful. One of my parents is a retired physician and they forced me to go to the ER because they suspected it is/was SVT. I’m currently awaiting a work up for POTS in the fall and it’s possible that was the cause. I’m also preparing to put my soul kitty that I’ve had since childhood to sleep next week after fighting terminal brain cancer for over a year and I think the intense stress and emotional turmoil that I’m experiencing played a role. I’m feeling a bit better now but my heart rate has yet to go below 100 bpm.

I’m in a room in the ER waiting for results and I have yet to see a single mask worn by ANYONE besides myself and my parent who brought me. Not a single medical professional or patient. And I heard so many people coughing and hacking in the waiting area. At least the medical professionals haven’t questioned me for masking. I just hate that my first thought when my parent said they were taking me to the ER was “no I don’t want to go I can’t get Covid”. I will never understand why high quality respirato

Title: How do people live their lives as if covid doesn’t exist?
Text:I’m currently masking at home because I went to a concert a couple days ago (I wore a 3m aura the whole time there), but I keep thinking about people that live their lives without worrying about covid at all.

99% of people didn’t wear a mask at the indoor concert, and most people just seem to go on with their lives as if all is well.  Meanwhile so many people I know have a “strange lingering cough”, and just accept it as is.

People with kids continue to go to indoor playgrounds, get togethers, and just shrug their shoulders when I ask them if they’re worried about getting sick.  I feel like I’m crazy.  What are these people thinking?  I legitimately don’t understand how they aren’t worried.

I know 2 people where 1 miscarried and 1 delivered a stillborn baby both immediately after being covid positive, but they still live their lives as if that didn’t happen.  Not that I know for certain covid had a direct impact, but you’d think they’d be more careful cause they were so sick.

I guess I have nowhere to rant, but here.  Thank you for reading.


Title: On Christmas Day in 2020, Anthony Quinn Warner blew up an RV loaded with explosives outside of the AT&T building in downtown Nashville TN, injuring 8 people. The media never really covered it and it was memory-holed.
Text:Remember how this event got like 3 minutes of coverage in the media? It basically ceased to exist after a few days then the new year rolled around and everyone stopped talking about it.

The notoriously incompetent FVI seems to have no idea, either:

"The investigative team took diligent steps to determine the reason or reasons why Warner decided to construct and ultimately detonate his device in downtown Nashville on December 25, 2020. The FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit, based in Quantico, Virginia, further assisted the local investigative team in answering this question.

Based on analysis of the information and evidence gathered throughout the investigation, the FBI assesses Warner’s detonation of the improvised explosive device was an intentional act in an effort to end his own life, driven in part by a totality of life stressors – including paranoia, long-held individualized beliefs adopted from several eccentric conspiracy theories, and the loss of stabilizing anchors and deteriorating interpersonal relationships.

The FBI assesses Warner specifically chose the location and timing of the bombing so that it would be impactful, while still minimizing the likelihood of causing


Title: GET OFF OF S/H SITES!!
Text:# ***Self-harm communities online that encourage self-harm will genuinely kill you.***

Straight up, they *will.*

Self-harm is a method that many of us started in order to put our *emotional* pain into *physical* pain. Self-harm, when relegated exclusively to one's self, poses much less of a significant risk of feeling "inadequate" due to the severity of your wounds.

Comparing your wounds to others', however, ***will*** make self-harm a competitive thing, fighting to feel adequate.

Grievous bodily injury, life-altering wounds, and even the very last moments of one's life being shared around and normalized by these communities ***will*** make you feel like your wounds aren't worth anything.

This ***will*** spiral into a persistent cycle of cutting deeper, and deeper, and deeper, until you become one of those people posting their final bleeding moments online. People I love have fallen into this cycle and it is one of the most devastating things to bare witness to.

Title: Blameworthiness of Inanimate Objects
Text:The other day, I was furious at my printer who refused to print my fully black and white document because it didn't have any magenta ink, which caused me to be late that morning. My resentment towards the printer is justified by two elements:

* it's physical capacity: having a functional cartridge plus the material condition regarding the availability of black ink and paper
* its mental capacity: the ability to understand commands, the ability to distinguish colors, the ability to understand its current status, and the ability to intelligibly communicate via pop up boxes

It has broken the social contract that printers are obligated to obey humans. Therefore the printer is blameworthy for the damages it has done, which justifies me punishing my printer by hitting it repeatedly before executing and then reanimating it after some period of time.

You can also justify my actions by forward-looking accounts, since such punishments have been shown to effectively change the behavior of other electronics, e.g. hitting my television until it gives me a clear image and turning my laptop off and on again to correct an error.

Text:I know updated Moderna and Pfizer vaccines were approved, but not Novavax. I really prefer Novavax (I didn’t have negative side effects after receiving it last year as compared to all my Pfizer doses, and it seems to have protected me well on top of constant masking). I have a tilt table test in November that I’d really like to be vaccinated for…ideally, I’d like a vaccine ASAP, as I don’t work 100% from home (my job is mostly remote, but not entirely), but I can also see some pros to waiting until closer to my test, especially with Novavax not approved yet.

So for people who prefer Novavax — what are you planning on doing? Will you just get one of the other ones, or wait?

I know Novavax's updated shot targets JN.1 and supposedly will provide ["cross-reactivity" against KP.2.3, KP.3, KP.3.1.1 and LB.1.](https://ir.novavax.com/press-releases/Novavax-Continues-to-Work-with-the-US-FDA-on-Authorization-of-2024-2025-Formula-COVID-19-Vaccine), but just not sure how that compares to Pfizer/Moderna.

Title: Single-Unit Decoding: Relative Change or Absolute Change?
Text:Hello fellow braniacs!

I wanted to outsource some opinions about an issue that comes up when it comes to analyzing functional signals from individual neurons (also referred to as 'single units').

While the modern paradigm for BCI does not require single-unit sorting (i.e. manually or automatically separating the action potentials of multiple cells that may have been picked up by a single electrode), physiological studies that aren't focused on rapid decoding will undergo the laborious task of sorting to enrich the analysis.

Now, here's the problem... if we are introducing stimuli such as pharmaceuticals, visual cues, or verbal instructions (the list goes on...), how are we supposed to quantify the functional 'response' of the neurons? Are we using a relative change (i.e. percentage increase from baseline) OR are we using absolute difference (subtracting baseline spike rate from stimulated spike rate)? This relies on the assumption that there is baseline activity, which is not always the case depending on the system - but let's ignore this for the sake of this post.

I would love to hear your thoughts. I personally think absolute change is the way to go, but I am open-

Title: Emails to address the Abbott Elementary episode mocking pandemic precautions
Text:If anyone else saw this week's episode of Abbott Elementary and found yourself rolling your eyes repeatedly at what seemed to be an allegory making fun of pandemic precautions, it wasn't all in your head. The actor for Gregory explains in this article it was indeed a metaphor for how hysterical we all were "during covid."

The best contact information I can find for comments on the show is to email Warner Bros, one of Abbott Elementary's production companies: support@wbd.com . I also found the email for the magazine producing the article above at: admin@tvinsider.com

I want to bring attention specifically to:

-The insensitivity of comparing covid to a skin rash, considering how many millions covid has killed and disabled.

-How the premise that covid precautions are over-the-top aligns the show with far-right talking points about the pandemic being overblown.

-The missed opportunity to expand on and address serious problems of health equity depicted briefly in district policy and a parent's unforgiving work schedule colluding to prevent an infectious child being sent home.

-The ableism of equating Gregory's precautions to selfishness and lionizing acceptance of infection as th


Title: How Social Engineering impacts your safety and security e
Text:## __Ways to avoid social engineering attacks:__

# __What is social engineering?__

When we think about cyber-security, most of us think about defending ourselves against hackers who use technological weaknesses to attack data networks. But there's another way into organizations and networks, and that's taking advantage of human weakness. This is known as social engineering, which involves tricking someone into divulging information or enabling access to data networks.

For instance, an intruder could pose as IT helpdesk staff and ask users to give information such as their usernames and passwords. And it is surprising how many people don't think twice about volunteering that information, especially if it looks like it’s being requested by a legitimate representative.

Put simply, social engineering is the use of deception to manipulate individuals into enabling access or divulging information or data.

Types of social engineering attacks
There are various types of social engineering attacks. So it's important to understand the definition of social engineering, as well as, how it works. Once the basic modus operandi is understood, it's much easier to spot social engineering attack

Title: [Implants: Bluetooth] 6G network uses our WBAN (wireless body area network). Scan your own bluetooth implants. Submitted by u/Sea-Current-1027
Text:u/Sea-Current-1027 commented:

>It’s piezoelectric energy, look up (human body communication). And the 6G network which uses our WBAN (wireless body area network). And the 6G network or 802.15.6 has been the IEEE standard in all local and metropolitan areas since 2012. Seriously.. but the piezoelectric energy from our bodies is being harvested, since our we are nodes on the network, usually not as the antenna itself which is actually more likely our skin and hair that sends send the signals out. It’s networking. The weird part is, since our bodies are electric, people aren’t told much about the body part we have called the human biofield. Which you can verify all this on NIH, MDPI, and other sources that this is all real. They use the term ‘emergent technologies’ yet it’s been around a long time. The nano-bio shit that’s in our food, air, water, medicine, etc like graphene and a few other things cause this antenna effect.

Title: Debunking Postmodernism
Text:The philosophy of Postmodernism and its outgrowth called the Regressive Left have been an absolute disaster for the modern political left.

The ideas of Postmodernism and the Regressive Left are false, fraudulent, irrational and are contributing to the political defeat of the left in nation after nation, and, even worse than this, are a threat to Western civilisation itself.

Postmodernism and the Regressive Left have to be utterly defeated and smashed as the pre-condition for any new and sane left-wing political movement.

That being so, I have collected my posts debunking Postmodernism and the Regressive Left in the links below, with a critical bibliography against Postmodernism as well.

The resources below are divided into these sections:
(1) Debunking Postmodernism and the Regressive Left

(2) Debunking Foucault’s Philosophy

(3) Bibliography of Critiques of Postmodernism.
But first some history.

Postmodernism is an outgrowth of French Poststructuralism, an intellectual movement in France from the late 1960s and 1970s. This was a reaction against French Marxist Structuralism.

The early and big-name Poststructuralists actually began as Marxist Structuralists, such as Jacques

Text:This is one of the weirdest ... Events, for lack of a better thought lol.

Not the shooting itself. Obviously, that was tragic and some evil shit. The weird is because I feel like we still don't what really happened that night for many reasons.

Right off , there were so many different accounts of what happened told by witnesses that were there or in the area. Each one weirder. I'm not implying that any are lying , in fact I believe they're all telling the truth the best way their brains remembered it.

There was a shooter from the window. There were guys that walked in one of the casinos with bags of guns and just opened up on everyone. Then an incident at the pyramid (Luxor) and another on the ground close to the concert. I remember witnesses telling what they witnessed in videos that were being put up the next day. Each one from another location and I believe corroborated. Then footage of a guy dropped from a helicopter onto the adjacent building from Mandalay or maybe going from the building into the helicopter? I'm sorry I don't remember everything ,and that leads me to the next weird part, I haven't heard about at all  from media, The artist that were performing, the city,


Title: [Meters: Signal Identification: Radar] 420-450 MHz Radar Band
Text:The Signal Identification: Radar wiki was deleted from the wiki index. The posts on radar band were deleted. I am reposting one of them.

>420-450 MHz

>1. Band Introduction

>The band 420-450 MHz is used by the military and other Federal agencies for a number of important radar applications, multi-function position-location communications systems, and test range telecommand and flight termination systems making the band essential to national security.    The band 420-450 MHz is used extensively by the military agencies for land-based, shipborne, and airborne radar systems to perform important national security functions.  The physics of radio propagation make the band excellent for long-range radar search and surveillance operations, and the associated target tracking.  The band is used for long-range search and surveillance radars to detect and track ballistic missiles and aircraft, and to catalog objects in space.

Title: Wait until you find out israel has a thing called the samson option which basically says if they ever feel truly threatened they will end the world.
Text:[**The Samson Option**](https://archive.is/53i5h) is Israel's deterrence strategy of massive retaliation with nuclear weapons as a "last resort" against a country whose military has invaded and/or destroyed much of Israel. Commentators also have employed the term to refer to situations where non-nuclear, non-Israeli actors have threatened conventional weapons retaliation.

Addressing the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, on Monday, Netanyahu stressed that according to Iran’s plan, “if Israel falls – the entire Middle East will fall into its hands.” — [**CNN**](https://archive.is/1hC7J)

Title: Can we stop asking why selfharm is bad?
Text:The first few times I saw the question come up I thought "fair enough", but I now see the question come up multiple times a day on this subreddit. Its driving me nuts.

Its called selfHARM for a reason. It harms you both physically and mentally. You can easily develop an addiction and like a drug addiction you'll constantly need to harm more and often more severely to get the result you "want".

I understand that you think its helping you, but in the end its not.

Title: Mask “nod”
Text:I’m noticing that those of us who mask regularly are nodding to one another in public. Just a single polite nod while making eye contact. Occasionally a thumbs up or a wave as well but mainly a nod. I’ve mostly experienced this in airports or while grocery shopping.  Have you experienced this? It makes me feel less alone; to see and been seen.  #stillanovid


Title: Down voted on nursing subreddit
Text:There is a  post on the nursing subreddit where an ED nurse is venting about people increasingly come in with self diagnoses of "trendy" chronic illnesses. They called it munchausen syndrome. They complained about people with POTS and other disorders. I pointed out that there is a rise in chronic illness due to covid, because covid is a mass disabling event. I also said medical personnel need to educate themselves because being ignorant about long covid is unacceptable. And threw in there that covid is a mass disabling event.

Well yeah I've been down voted to hell, obviously.

As a nurse I know how wrong medical staff can be sometimes. It's so infuriating when nurses and doctors think they know everything and people shouldn't do their own research. Why do they think people end up going to social media for answers?

It took me so many years before I was finally diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder I had since I was NINETEEN. At age 35! There was no reason I should have been in pain so long.

Edited to add: Thank you for the support. I had the courage to write a post in response to that post. I hope it is seen!

Title: Nice Story & to the person who came into my store wearing a Readimask:
Text:I had an amazing experience today! I had someone come into my store with a Readimask on. In my area, NOBODY masks. If they do, it's usually a surgical mask so I know they're not actually Covid Enlightened.

I told the person I liked his Readimask. As he was ringing out, I asked him if he tried the hack with the Readimask and the dentist. He went on to talk about personal air purifiers, how to fold the mask to work for the dentist, how bird flu will be the next pandemic.

I say all this because as much as I talk to all of the wonderful covid cautious people via screen, this is literally the first and only time I've ever met an actual person who was on the same page!

I've spent almost half a decade being around people that just think I'm the crazy one or they can't see the world is on fire. I always feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone. To ACTUALLY MEET a person who sees the light...it's Truly Healing.

It’s like being transported to another world for 5 years and then finally meeting somebody from your world.

AND THEY WERE SO NICE! They even gave me one of their Readimasks.

I just wanted to share my excitement and disclose how healing it was. I feel a little more sane.

Title: Life in the upsidedown
Text:I feel completely through the looking glass right now. This news story popped up in my feed and I'm so exhausted by seeing more and more reports of increasing pneumonia, bronchitis, etc..

Back in 2019, I was the only person at my work, in my group of friends, in my family who got pneumonia every year (in my 30s). Because I was the only one who was immunocompromised.

Now most of the people I know live in a household where someone is getting a serious respiratory illness every year and it's totally normalized. Never investigated as unusual. Never cause for re-evaluating the decision to go "back to normal."

I honestly don't know where this ends and I'm so exhausted by it.


Title: Not sure if it was gang stalking or just bullying
Text:I've recently connected the dots of a lot of strange behavior from people I used to be acquainted with and their larger friend group.

Evidence one: a woman who was 5-10 years older than me recording me in the break room of my trade school when I was telling a funny story to some girls my age and doing what I would like to refer to as slapstick comedy. I asked her what was going on and to stop and she smiled really big and said it was for some girls scrap book. Idk

2: I drove up through where I lived in the country to get to the small city where I went to school and where had a much older boyfriend who also associated with this friends group and met that group of older adults. I drove down through the country in the opposite direction to get to my job in a suburb of a different city. It was out of the way from them. They would show up at places I was cashiering at and act strange and passive aggressive.

3: this one is strange. I was working front counter at a burger place and someone set up what looked like a camcorder on a tripod in front of the counter. I thought maybr my manager was doing something and I had gone to work high on weed so I didn't think of it. I worked through l

Title: Tired of people treating me like I'm not smart, a joke, or even subhuman when I talk about COVID precautions I take
Text:I was talking to someone about how I wasn't going to try a restaurant we were talking about any time soon because I didn't see any option for outdoor dining. They asked me why, and I explained I wasn't comfortable with unmasking in a building full of people, especially when they aren't taking any COVID precautions outside of dining in.

They said something along the lines of, "Well yeah, they're eating, you can't expect them to mask." The way they said it and their tone felt like they were annoyed and acting like my reason was a demand or because I wasn't smart. I told them, "Of course I don't expect them to mask while eating. That's why I avoid it in general, like I said." We moved on from the topic, but I've been bothered about it ever since. I wasn't trying to demand anything, I just said why I don't want to dine indoors. Because you asked.

I haven't really talked to them since. I was already losing interest in keeping in touch with them because they don't take any COVID precautions at all and find taking them to be too "inconvenient." But this attitude was the nail in the coffin, I did not want to tolerate this attitude.

I'd imagine I'm not alone in this, surely someone else

Title: Human Rights
Text:1. They watch me 24/7 without a warrant.
2. They follow me to work, to the grocery store, to home (everywhere).
3. They use RNM to read my thoughts 24/7.
4. They have cameras in my home’s bathroom, living room, bedroom etc.
5. They have cameras in the bathroom in the stalls.
6. They pay others to watch me and join in. 100’s of people

How does one assert their human rights in a situation like this where they’ve been violated so harshly. I feel like I’m in a prison without a cage. Not to mention they poisoned my water, so I can’t take a shower. They poison my food at every turn. I’m forced to basically eat out of the grocery store. I can’t store food in my home because they will and have poisoned my food there. They also put horse pills mixed in with my medicine and I almost died (stopped breathing).

I’m trying not to think of myself as a victim. I’ve read a lot about narcissism and I know that the best revenge is to live well. Am I just supposed to ignore this? I can’t I good faith, especially now that they have made it physical.

Title: A *public health professional* commented on my mask
Text:This week I had a meeting at the offices of a local public health authority.  It was a meeting of people from various health and community services.  A couple people were from this particular public health authority.

I was the only one wearing a mask, and one of the PH people said "oh are you sick?" in a sympathetic tone.  I said "I'm still being careful", and they just said "Ohhh" in a sort of "poor you" tone.

It wasn't condescending or snarky.  I don't think this person meant anything by it.

But also, they work in public health!  They *know* there is still covid, plus measles, plus H5N1, plus god knows what else.  And it's allergy season.  There are loads of great reasons to wear a mask these days.

It's just wild to me that someone with access to well above average and up to date information on circulating infectious diseases and warnings about new ones on the horizon can still not get it.  In YEAR FIVE of the covid pandemic.

Of course, this PH office had hand sanitizer all over the place.

Edit: AND, who goes to all the trouble of getting a PH master's degree if you prefer not to think about or hear unpleasant truths about health risks?  Isn't PH pretty much about imagini


Title: Matching shoes is a spook!
Text:Fellow egoist redditors, do you have an extra pair of soles beneath your feet? 👞👞 And presumably they match? Now that's what I thought!

Societal norms posit that the **purpose** of a shoe is to be worn on a foot, usually paired with a mirrored counterpart. While we as egoists may derive utility from following such conventions if we so desire, I stress that this **purpose** is not teleological. Footwear is a human construct, not an a priori universal law.

The shoe itself necessitates no perfect match. We're **imposing that idea on it**. This notion is merely a result of our cultural and social conventions. It's a spook! An abstract illusion that we create and maintain without questioning its validity. We ascribe meaning and power to this concept that it does not inherently possess.

An egoist is free to walk barefoot to the party, use mismatched shoes, or even pair one sandal with half a pair of hats!

At the party, he roams freely, acting in accordance with his every whim, for seeking company or approval is of secondary importance. Life's highest purpose is to satisfy our unique selves, not trivialities like common courtesy.

So we set our eyes on the dinner table and pounce hea


Title: Hidden Symbols in film since 1930
Text:I sent a video I created showing over 350 examples of symbols in movies to Eddie Muller of Turner Classic Movies. Eddie found it "fascinating." Eddie asked permission to use my name and describe my discovery on the air when he showed the movie "Three Strangers." Eddie had previously shown the movie about 2 years before on Noir Alley. He purposely rescreened the movie again so that he could tie in my Quan Yin discovery. By doing this, and mentioning my discovery, during the outro to the movie on July 20, 2020, Eddie is now on record as the television presenter who made the first public announcement my discovery. I’m sure Eddie has figured out the meaning of the Quan Yins and is keeping the secret. This makes me respect him even more, because just like the Quan Yin Cognoscenti, he also is keeping the secret, and thereby honoring all those Quan Yin Cognoscenti from bygone eras.

I thought you might be interested in viewing my video showing these symbols in American movies beginning in 1930 and continuing through 2022. I began cataloging my discoveries in 2016, working with professors from USC, UCLA, Yale, and Chapman University. I created a video which shows over 350 examples of these


Title: Died of "complications from C19" 🤬
Text:Hello dear ZCC. I am here for a brief rant. I am not sure if I have come to the right place for it, although I'm sure the mods will let me know right away. I hope my brief rant is worth a moment of your time.

The American corporate media hardly ever report on individual Cvd deaths. When they do, they almost always say the person died of "complications from C19" and not that the person "died of C19." Even today. It's like they actually want their readers to forget that C19 is a deadly, infectious disease, or reassure them by omission that there's no way it could ever happen to them.

As far as I know, this doesn't happen with influenza--if the flu kills someone, and the (American corporate) media report it, they'll say the person died of the flu, not "complications from" the flu. To this day, even with shoddy reporting and about five years post-zoonosis, C19 is pound-for-pound deadlier than the flu, not to mention far more infectious. The media surely know this, but they sugarcoat it all like cotton candy.

You can probably tell I lean cynical on stuff like this. I'm sure I'm biased and that there's a whole lot I don't know. That said, I'm still convinced that the media do the song

Yesterday morning she had a cardiac arrest out of the blue and was rushed to hospital, where she died.

So sitting here this evening 26th September 2025 I all of a sudden over come a major wave of emotion…

I am confused  I feel like I have been hit by a combine harvester, I am 46, I lost my Mum  in 2017 and Dad in 2019. I felt I had done all the healing I could around this,  counselling , shadow work, surrender..

Then it just all coming flooding back the vague memories of looking after my Mum before she Died.

Like a flash I was watching my Dad die, a slow horrible death. The worst thing is I realized; is the guilt I had  for saying yes to palliative care, after hearing my Dad (scream)that I will never forget.

Title: Will to power and abortion laws
Text:Last night, my friends and I got into a debate on abortion, and the concept of power came up. Specifically the power a woman has over her own body. I had a bit of a lightbulb moment, so I brought up some philosophy.

I gave a quick summary of Nietzsche’s *will to power* (leaving out the existentialism), and then reframed the conversation as, "What right do men even have to voice concerns over abortion law?" I agree that women should have the choice, but what about men’s will to power, especially when it’s driven by resentment toward women’s autonomy?

We’ve set up this system, and it’s mostly old white men calling the shots, and I worry that there’s no end to their resentment, and that it seeps into the laws that affect women’s bodies.

The whole setup feels like this weird charade. Men are acting like zookeepers, and women are the zoo animals. Like a lion trainer who says, “Even though I’m not a lion, I know exactly what a lion needs.” It’s absurd, as if pregnancy can just be reduced to some thought experiment in Husserlian phenomenology or reduced to cold biology. As if they can “understand” it without living it.

Idk, it’s just a different way to look at things


Title: Does Ignoring Gangstalkers Make Them Go Away?
Text:I got a message on Reddit claiming that you give implied consent to gangstalking when you react to it. Gangstalkers allegedly have occult beliefs and require implied consent to their activities so they do not violate your free will. When you completely ignore them and stop doing whatever you did to get on their list, you withdraw all implied consent to the activity, and they have to stop. It's built into the program. Initially, they may escalate the situation temporarily in desperation to get a reaction, but eventually, they must stop.

So I tried doing this yesterday, but my situation seriously escalated. It's as if the stalkers knew they could do whatever they wanted without being photographed.

What counts as 'not reacting' to gangstalking? Would running an iPhone camera on your dash mount before you leave the house, while ignoring people otherwise, give the stalkers the implied consent they need to continue their activity? Or would passively running the iPhone not affect matters, as you aren't visually giving them a reaction in a way that can be photographed to get paid under their security contracts?

Has anyone tried this approach long term?


Title: Cognitive dissonance
Text:Is it necessary to live your life honestly? Is cognitive dissonance a bad thing necessarily?
.
For e.g. I've been reading some literature on veganism and I find it genuinely compelling. I can't come up with arguments against it. I think Peter Singer's version is a really cogently argued and logical position. I know it's logical. But can't I just eat meat knowing that's it's unethical? Is it necessary to have logic and ethics justify your life routine? Can't I just keep doing things know they may not be ethically sound?
.
I know this may lead to some very absurd consequences. Like can't I just kill people knowing it's unethical to kill? But again why tho? Why to be ethical?
