I was researching terra cotta clay to make my own chia pets, but you need a kiln. You’ve gotta get an oven that does like 1800°F (980°C) and 2000°F (1093°C) degrees if you want to burn your own terra cotta.
That is such a hot temperature that I’m not even going to dare mess with it at home. That’s a dangerous amount of heat and I am not qualified for the task.
I did not take any pottery classes. I do not have a professional-grade kiln–
And when I say "professional-grade" I mean a kiln with as many safety features as possible that can be used to make as many types of pottery as possible.
–at home. I am a simple hyperchicken.
I recognize my lane and I stay in it.
Of all the things techno-billionaires could give us, I don’t understand why so many of them publicly go the route of being hated by the masses.
You could be creating and producing many things.
You could be making peoples’ lives better.
In your hands is enough power to change the world. Or at least a big enough part to splash some waves in the proverbial "global economy" pool.
You know.
Doing some stupid shit and suddenly 40,000 people lose their retirement fund.
1,000,000+ people lose their medical insurance. Or at least the part of it they’re really going to need.
We need good dental insurance. And that IS medical related stuff. Preventive measures to stop someone from having organ failure.
Good dental health, good physical health, good bone health, good mental health, good…
why did they start separating everything apart. For what reason did they do that?
EVERYTHING related to your ENTIRE HUMAN BODY should be covered under medical insurance.
And Medicaid does not have to be so difficult.
Why do people have to give up dental health coverage when they move to your plan, but your plan is the only one that offers palliative-care levels of medication.
Like, people need dental care AND doctor proscribed medication.
A licensed pharmacist has to go to school to learn what medications should not be mixed with other medications.
If you take your prescription to be filled at a pharmacist, or if you just go talk to a pharmacist at their job, they will tell you what things should not be mixed together.
Pharmacists are not there to provide you medical care.
Do not go to your pharmacist with a gushing wound. Go to urgent care.
BUT a pharmacist that knows what all medications you are talking, should be able to tell you when you’ve accidentally created a death cocktail.
At the very least, they will raise danger flags to let you know you shouldn’t be mixing Pill A with Pill B and you should avoid grapefruit if you’re taking most modern medications.
Grapefruit is contraindicated for a lot of prescription medications. It can make some work too well, and others not work at all.
My brain has been in spirals of late.
There’s a lot of fearful things happening.
And there’s nothing I can do about it.
The world is going crazy.
And at the core of everything is a gaping need for money.
Like, they’ve completely ruined the local economy and created massive fissures in the global economy.
And like, nobody knows why.
He just felt like doing it, so he did it.
That or he’s surrounded by people acting in his stead. He says a lot of the time that he didn’t know someone was doing something/had been doing something.
There’s a lot of things he says he doesn’t remember WHEN HE WAS CLEARLY NOTIFIED.
A real capitalist would realize that his people were fucking up and put a stop to it.
They are boot stomping the supplies the community needs to survive.
These are dudes that are head-wrapped around the idea that they are in a video game.
They are living like they think the simulation is real. That ALL OF THIS doesn’t really matter.
Because death isn’t real.
"If I do this one thing I will immediately go to super heaven when I die."
"I heard it from a guy in a hat and robe. So you know he was important."
I’ve played "Dante’s Inferno."
He’s burning in hell because some cardinal(?) told him and the other crusaders that the lives of people outside their ethnic group didn’t matter to God, so killing them would be all right.
And then it turns out God likes all people. And the cardinal was just some guy talking out his bung hole.
False prophets might not realize they’re prophets. They could just be profiteers.
And I wish people would stop living their lives like they’re in a video game.
And it’s like, they never seem to choose entertaining games. It’s all single-person shooters where you can maybe team up with other people.
One of those open-world games where a lot of people can choose to play out their villain fantasies.
You bust into another group’s camp and you destroy their beds, and they lose all the stuff saved at that base.–And it’s like, you don’t ask yourself why you did that. It’s a video game. It’s not real.
But when you do that stuff in REAL LIFE? Thinking you’re in the Matrix?!?
The best advice for someone taking hallucinogenic drugs is to remember "If you suddenly think you can fly, do it from the ground up."
If you suddenly think you’re in the Matrix, and the idea lingers in your brain no matter how hard you want to let it go.–You should still act like a normal human being.
What the fuck, man?
Why would you immediately start destroying everything around you if you think you might be in the Matrix?
Those a real other people connected to the Matrix.
They can be taken over by agents BECAUSE they are still connected to the Matrix.
When you kill someone in the Matrix, I think that person is just mind-wiped and entered back into the Matrix as a new person.
And if you think the Matrix is real and you still want to kill a bunch of people or just make their everyday life a complete and utter misery for no reason?
Then you’re a very scary person.
Having your mind-wiped means you are dead.
The you that you are. The set of memories and emotions all bundled together to make you will be gone if you are killed in the Matrix.
The Matrix is fake, but the people are real.
