I know inner ear stuff is related to balance but I thought it was like. WAY deeper in ur ear. (also man I wish I'd found this out sooner 😭)

I've been suffering from really distressing vertigo like once a week for the past month, and I stuck my finger in my ear and it just. Stopped.

Immediately.

Also ridiculous bc all of this comes downstream of an increasingly lenient credit based economy, not the fault of people who need to engage with the system when prices across all goods are only ever allowed to rise.

What's the saying? Every state Is only three missed meals away from a revolution?

The admin could have rationed oil reserves for when things get genuinely dangerous for them. That they have not speaks to their incompetence and short-sightedness. Their take on the fascist death drive has been obvious in its selfishness, but the path they're on only leads to escalation.

3. A certain escalation. I don't want to speak it into being. I'm not going to.

2. US petrol forced by admin to prioritize domestic market: prices still exorbitantly high for imports. Food is still going to see huge spike due to fertilizer shortage.

1. US petrol continues export, prices skyrocket across the globe for everything bc US depends so heavily on shipped goods, but especially food. Domestic, hardy, perennial crops relatively stable due to less reliance on fertilizer. Hope you like apples.

So it's like, at least clear to me, that the continued oil shock is gonna result in one of three things:

The continued short-term benefit obsessed idiocy of this admin is really something.

it feels kinda wrong to yell at this man, he is literally a German peasant being confronted with the totality of the US

like the salsa thing is funny, but then you see this

This escalated fast, in a good way.

lot of people on this site soaking themselves stupid making posts like "stop saying gross shit is ok" when people are very clearly saying "you are allowed to think something is absolutely vile but trusting the government/companies/paypros w the morality barometer is HISTORICALLY really dumb"

👀

There is a reason FDR ruthlessly forced WPA PWA CCC stamps on every fucking thing along with massive press circuits about what he was doing, often even calling out governors who tried to take credit.

Oh, so there IS a public arts budget. 🤬

Hyperfixating on Iran war bc I don't have an outlet to rage about my dad.

This was a bad week to miss therapy. 🫠

I watched a few time lapses to check the expected growth pattern and oh my god they take forever to get going. I've never gotten cacti going from seed, but I didn't realize they start so slow, I would have thought they need to shoot into bulk asap in order to store the water available.

I can't begin to describe how unsatisfying it is to try growing these things. Like 2% germination rate. Then they grow into seedlings and stay at that stage for MONTHS.

"I'll try sun-hardening these dragon fruit seedlings in the nice weather!"

*Two biggest/strongest seedlings sun-burned to death*

"Ah." 🥴

-are malleable enough to achieve anything. But how do you teach "the upper class self-selects for antisocial ambition that captures power thru wealth, so no one can be allowed to accumulate that much wealth in order to maintain a balanced society." When America touts "even YOU could be billionaire!"

Thinking about how once gas goes sky high (because I don't think US petrol is going to able to portion out strategically enough to both sate the domestic market AND international shipping) and everything becomes genuinely prohibitively expensive, it's like, possibly the only time the cultists minds-

Like you have to leave the tools, the evidence out on the ground, and make it seem to them like it's all their idea and that they're soooo smart and soooo brave when the slop stops tasting good and they have to come off for air and mayyyybe notice.

It's always been frustrating to think about how the hell we're supposed to reeducate people who just refuse to take their mouths off the spigot of propaganda. It sucks they're all contrarian "critical thinkers" that independently come to the conclusion that they hook themselves up to poison.

Most people rejected his message. They hated Freud because he told them the truth.

Greg I need you to know that every time you set up your boss for failure, it gives me a secondhand delight. 🙌
