iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

It's the slow and gradual ones that are the most dangerous. The slow blade penetrates the shield. A political coup, slow and steady, within the boundaries of reason, until suddenly overwhelming everywhere all at once.

I had read that too. When it's 'just' a psychological addiction one is just told to buck up, suck it up, it's not like it's heroin, you don't need help, just stop being a weak willed little wimp... I've heard it all

As a teenager the only thing I was able to find to help with insomnia was cannabis, but too many years of using that ended up making the problem far worse than it was in the first place and now I have to figure out a whole detox program

I have not slept for longer than 4 hours at a time since I was (???) years old. My state of alertness has always been that of someone who mainlines black coffee in their sleep

Well, now it's localized to certain problem areas. It goes back and forth between pain I can point to locally and totally diffuse.

No one body part, brains pain switch is just on

I'm in constant physical pain all the time. No medicating it. It's taking its toll on my sanity. One would think that eventually one would become desensitized to that particular source of pain but it never comes. It's just a never-ending wellspring of suffering, year after year after decade

Started coughing at work. Got some cough syrup. Tussin / Mucinex. Only took the proper dose in the little plastic cup. Got drowsy, passed out but didn't really sleep. Came to with my heart pounding hard and fast. Both are common side effects but I'd never experienced either before. Changing with age

I just made a new Meta account after having deleted my old one six months ago. I opened FB as a new user, told it my age and that I'm male, and so far my news feed is about 85% posts from alt right and incel groups. This is what boys and men of all ages are being shown the instant they get online.

Meritocracy, economic turmoil, and the broken promises of the West | Daniel Markovits FULL INTERVIEW

This comprehensive and thorough dismantling of the meritocracy myth covers a lot of ground in its half hour runtime. Will be rewatching.

Up until a couple of weeks ago I had plans to fly out to visit my mom. I am now driving instead. From New Mexico to Florida.

I understand and it's all good. Compassion is really all that matters.

I appreciate you for saying so. Whose to say? We can have a philosophical discussion. People who have it horribly on paper can be the happiest people you'll meet and vice versa. Yeah it's rough out here but part of whats keeping me going is the belief that it isn't supposed to be any different. IDK.

I didn't mean to imply that I did...? Sorry?

So, just to be clear, we are loudly and proudly turning away potential future Democrat voters because of a past mistake the making of which they are now literally broadcasting their acknowledgement and regret. We are so over.

000

And I truly don't know who is the bigger fool, the one who fell for trump or the one who expects that fool to see the error of his ways by being shamed and ridiculed.

This is the only thing that works. Not peaceful demonstrations. Not political theatrics. This.

Cool, so we storm the state capitals armed? Because we aren't winning an election in which they get to vote again. I think you're mistaking my comment for maga sympathy. I just want the useful idiots voting blue again, that's all. If you want to kill them so they can't vote, great. But if not...

My dad died here too. He wasnt from here, moved here late in life, didn't make friends. Needed some help in the end so I came here. He died and now Im stuck here, no friends, shit job, getting sicker by the day.

If Thanos were truly dispassionate and objective, and had no self-interest or a drive for self-preservation masquerading as a sense of purpose, then yes, but that isn't Thanos. Even if he told himself he'd be willing to die, his subconscious mind told the stones to make sure he'd be spared.

000

I can see why one would think that but the stones didn't even prevent their own destruction and they have a pretty consistent track record of destroying those who try to weild them. I'm gonna go with Thanos just secretly didnt want to leave his own life to chance.

As far as people in the medical field, I trust them to try to go wherever the money is and the ones here all have one foot out the door. I've had several primary care doctors and specialists up and leave their practices in the 3 years I've lived here. That happened zero times in my life til here.

000

Won't bore you with my story but I'm not from here, ended up here due to bad circumstances and kinda got stuck. no disrespect to the town. Or to self medicating for that matter. Been doing that most of my life. 🍻

Rather be here than any red or purple state, for sure. But if I had the economic means to move to another blue state with better access to healthcare I would.

Do you think he'll get an actual punishment or just a fine and house arrest? Charges are great for symbolism but it's the sentencing that functions as a deterrant.

Well don't congratulate me til I'm gainfully employed elsewhere. Job market sucks right now and I'm known to languish in jobs I hate way too long. But thanks!

Oh, I'm an agitator, don't worry. Don't have much of a soapbox ATM, but I'll radicalize the cockroaches in my kitchen if nothing else.

To everyone making jokes about her bringing in the coffee... I'm looking at her and wondering how many dead bodies it took for her to earn her place in that circle of snakes. Every man in that room fears her, I guarantee it.

Literally cancelled plans to fly from West to East coast to coast to visit family over this shit, now planning what's going to be one hell of a painful road trip.

The system we're stuck with here in NM is one of the worst in the US too.

One of the companies we are all now refusing to patronize is my employer. I won't say which one, I'm ashamed of them and probably won't be there much longer because the boycott is working and they have responded to the loss of business by cutting our hours so now I can't pay rent let alone buy stuff

I just get those once in a blue moon. If I had two in one day I'd probably have a panic attack to top it off.

‘Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables’ is now a gold record

In the year 1984, renewed interest in the book '1984' made it a bestseller again. And in the year 2025, the 1980 Dead Kennedys album ‘Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables’, which features their hit "California Uber Alles", is now a Certified Gold Record. Punk's. Not. Dead.

Dead Kennedys classic Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables has achieved Gold status in USA (500,000 copies sold as tracked by RIAA). Notably, this does not count direct sales and DIY distro sales. So, i...

It's a good start but it's not even close to good enough yet. Before the election Tesla was trading at around $250 a share, after the election it went up to around $450 and right now it's at about $350 so it's lost about half of what it gained thanks to trump. A good start but not nearly enough.

I can't legally own a firearm, and if I had one i would probably just use it to quit the game so it's best that I don't. But I have a newfound appreciation for the 2nd Amendment and I want everyone on the left to arm up ASAP.
