For science!

Sounds like a failed restaurant to me.

I’m frankly amazed you haven’t simply died of neglect yet if you can’t even find the gumption to put a disc in the console and press a button.

I actually think you should consider a full detox. Like move to a Greek island and work at a boat rental for a summer, living in a van or something. Learn how to just be a person again and engage with your physical reality.

Constructive

The murder was a political statement. Getting away was never the intention.

Stick to memes and shitposting

So living the dream.

There is no “other” living in your head, it’s all you. Understanding why this is happening to you is understanding you.

All knowledge is self knowledge. If you can understand why this bothers you so much, you can understand how to let it go.

You gotta examine you, self therapy. Or actual therapy if you struggle with honesty.

UBI will be used to control us. It sounds good, but it won’t be. As evidence I would like to point to everything humans have ever done.

One masquerading as the other

3 tabs will put you in the swirling, raw chaos of the unintelligible universe. Face of God stuff.

If you can be afraid, you aren’t dead. If you’re dead, you can’t be afraid. Don’t waste your time.

I’m a donor (woe betide whoever gets anything from me) but I totally understand not being OK with it. This guy says we won’t need them, but that’s unknowable. Maybe there’s a bunch of donors at the gate not being let in until the rest of them gets there. But if ever you have a right to claim ownership over anything, it’s your body. Your organs aren’t collective property others have a right to. You fuck off, these are my organs is a totally reasonable position.

Yes, but

It will never go back. The new US will need to learn to be one of many at the table. A powerful one by all means, but one of many nevertheless. The ability to dictate terms to others is gone, all of the leverage has been used, for little gain, and the trust isn’t there anymore. Everyone has hedged against the US, decoupled, and persued other arrangements.

Europe is gone from the empire and will demand massive concessions to let the US even near its strategic policy. Concessions the US can probably can not pay. Remember, the US started a war with the Russians on Europe’s doorstep and then not only abandoned it’s allies, it threatened to invade from the other side (and is still doing so). Europe deployed against the US. The US is openly hostile - an enemy of Europe. There’s no coming back from that.

For better or worse the US is on its own now. Allies are theoretical at best. On its own the US is a western hemisphere regional power. The global power it enjoyed came from the alliances and it was paid for by the economic interdependence of the alliance system. That system is over.

The dominance of the USD is done, that was based on trust, trade is no longer conducted in USD exclusively and currencies no longer route through USD. With the reserve currency status destroyed, the US will have to learn to pay it’s bills like everyone else, from productive work. No more printing money to pay debts on printed money.

Without those things trillion dollar military budgets are out of the question, global force projection becomes impossible. Even enforcing Monroe is probably impossible, the Chinese and Europe are already making inroads in south America and as those investments increase so will the need to protect those.

So apologies are necessary for a reset of relations, yes. But those new relations will look very different from what we have known. It’s a multi polar world now and the US sphere of influence is shrinking to just north America, and even there, the other two countries are not on board and are moving towards EU.

The future is one of US decline and it’s up to Americans how they want to navigate it. Learn to live with the others or fight a losing battle against everyone. Or end the world.

I certainly enjoy my pandemics trapped in a network of caves full of infected people.
