They are not human friendly.

the unit is also superior in other regards, such as beeing understandable without an internet search to people outside the US

My current workting theory is that societies reliant on collectively ignoring/justifying the atrocities thet are built on cannot thrive.

i should not have zoomed in on that image

Didn’t read the title and thought those were some seriously weird hairstyles.

I never did understand why you are not supposed to change a running system.

Ancient humans would understand this and I think that’s cool.

Gettysburg, what an unbelievable battle that was. It was so much, and so interesting, and so vicious and horrible, and so beautiful in so many different ways–it represented such a big portion of the success of this country. Gettysburg, wow–I go to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, to look and to watch. And the statement of Robert E. Lee, who’s no longer in favor–did you ever notice it? He’s no longer in favor. ‘Never fight uphill, me boys, never fight uphill.’ They were fighting uphill, he said, ‘Wow, that was a big mistake,’ he lost his great general. ‘Never fight uphill, me boys,’ but it was too late.

The list of resources we are running out of should include resiliant ecosystems. Apart from that, to me, the entire comment could be summarized as “capitalism”.

androcentric thinking in a nutshell I guess

I would argue that the problem you are pointing out is cultural rather than biological. Humans are very well capable of living sustainably and respectfully and have done so for extended periods of times in different regions of the world. The endless consumtion of an ending earth seems like something that developed together with (e.g. western, capitalist, …) culture and ideology.

We need to work on changing our collective mindset rather than attempt our own disappearance. Second part of argument: I believe we can. Humans are very capable to adapt and change. Not sure about collectives, but if you think you can convice a critical number of people to stop reproducing, I think you can do the same in convincing us to please fix our shit.

Thank you :)

I’d like to have you on my survival team.

I notice and appreciate cool details. I’m spontaneous and up for things. I can get really excited. I will support your questionable life choices if your heart is in them. I have creative associations. I’m usually good at following other peoples’ thoughts. I collect useful junk as well as quotes and stuff. I usually carry a bunch of key items that might come in handy, like a lighter, a pen and a pocketknife.

I have a Quechua bottle that looks slightly yellowish/golden on the inside. Might that be some sort of lining?

Advertisement shit[post]s in your head. Avoid.

Hello fellow struggler, I’m glad we are having this exchange. I’m currently sick with Covid (not bad, just annoying, that’s what you get for going out and meeting people lol). It helps me go a litte easier on myself though, as I have good reason to isolate an feel exhausted.

As for my current Thing, I asked my best friend to help me and together, we made some decent progress. Especially when I have trouble reading messages because I am afraid they might contain something stressful (which of course doesn’t fix anything), it helps me to ask someone I trust to read them for me and tell me what they say. Stupid, I know, but the simpelest things can feel as hard as you let them sometimes…

Anyways, I coloured something today and quite enjoyed it.

monotI like one minute at a time, it can be a reminder that the past does not determine the future. Even though the last 200 Minutes weren’t so great, I can get up and make myself a cup of tea this minute.

Can totally confirm sunlight, it helps to make myself sit in the sun even for a bit. I am lucky to have a balcony, so I don’t even need to leave the house, really.

Digestionwise, I have had some good experiences adding some psyillium/flea seeds to my oats, but it might not be for you.

I’ve been wondering about things I can do in better times to build some resources for when I’m struggeling. So far, I came up with stuff like having some proper meals at home that need little effort to prepare, as well as trying to build/practice good habits like journaling, mindfulness and light exercise. I’d be interested in further ideas, should you have any :)

Hope you are continuing to get better, do not despair if you aren’t.

I like how they effortlessly lie super flat, but it always bothers me just a little to rest my hand on the bind while writing. Binding your own sounds great fun though. Also you can just rip out a page without leaving any trace.
