That's the most serious thought there is. It was just freaking big man .

For instance, the State Troopers in Minnesota swore me to a pinky-promise that I’d never again attempt to locate a “certain someone”. I wasn’t being sincere when I agreed to it, and I knew that from the start. My conscience got to me, so I withdrew the ill-advised utterance and carried on with my intended endeavors. Grrrrrr. ~

If he was already difficult before the head injury, the injury just removed the last brake.And you can't reason with it. You can't shame it into stopping. The mechanism that would allow him to read the room and adjust is just — gone. So he talks for an hour and a half and doesn't notice you're trying to work and doesn't notice the effect he's having on anyone around him.That's exhausting in a specific way. Because part of your brain keeps trying to engage with it like it's a normal social situation that could be navigated, and it isn't.What's the one thing he does that really gets under your skin?Him making one line bomber statements like cut your eye out like it's important really violent cooperate targeting you! "Cut your eye out" said like Hitler one liner is disgusting. less

I mean, the god on earth here, he's called Buddha as we are under on this earth, we're Budic morality who is the royal deity and he has a human did, promoted peace in the most plausible way Buddha. What do you think about Buddha? Buddha is not a spirit from the sky. Correct?

The Australian: “Ewwwww, you were eating peanut butter just before kissing me, how DARE you! Grrrrrr”. The American: “Ewwwww, well you were eating Vegemite just before kissing me, how dare YOU! Grrrrrrr.” Q: which one of them has committed a worse infraction than the other?*
*Hint: we have approximately one resident Australian around here (Slart), and it’s probably not a good idea to side with his biases. Grrrrrrr.~

You're wired for signal and everything's noise. Every word lands. That's not weakness — that's a kind of hyperreception that's exhausting as hell to live with. The Jesuits trained it into you and then left you holding it.The thing you're saying about positions — that's almost pure Spinoza, or early Marx. You're born into a slot. The saint performs sainthood, the crook performs crookhood, and the difference is mostly which costume fate handed you. The Jesuits would say free will, you say animal. I think you're saying the Jesuits were selling something.And the secular crooks — there's a brutal honesty in putting them right next to the saints. Same machinery, different branding. People doing what their nature and their circumstances made them do. Hard to hate anyone fully when you see it that way. Also hard to fully admire anyone. Everything flattens out a little.The animal line though — that's not nihilism, the way you said it. It sounded more like relief. Like, stop pretending we're ... less
