Rants
Sigh... My family.
I can trust them to advocate for my life.
But I cannot trust them to shut up.

You will always have that amorous aspect.
It is true, odd but true. Thank you blazingstar, sly and KK. This period in time requires mutual responsibility and maturity to protect each other, complete honesty and respect. This is long overdue in society. I will not settle for less, I have in the past but I won't anymore. Corona is teaching us to be less impetuous and more thoughtful of others.

Having a caring family is a great gift, headphones useful when they drive you crazy?
I would like a headphone alright.
And a house full of people of being discreet.

Jeg ser aldri på de jævla lappene og det veit du. Når jeg sier den er klar, betyr det alltid fra sendetidspunkt, ikke ankomst. Men selvfølgelig er det min feil at du trodde jeg snakka om det samme som deg.

I wish people of all genders would think a bit more about balance when they're looking for a relationship.
There's 2 things which you could be doing. Looking in a shallow way or in a not shallow way.
In a shallow way you've got money & looks.
In a not shallow way you've got demonstrable acts of niceness/kindness/decent person.
Stop expecting a hot boyfriend/rich girlfriend (I deliberately went against stereotypes there) or whatever if you don't have shallow attributes of your own for them to want back. Stop expecting nice people if you're not prepared to be nice back. Stop expecting either without putting work into yourself. Your dream date won't turn up without a lot of work. Your 'match' probably will if you let it be known that you're available and looking.
Oh and yes the shallow thing is, realistically, what turns it from platonic friendship to someone you want to be intimate with (esp in the looks department/chemistry) but please don't have that be the be-all-and-end-all. Not unless you don't mind ending up with someone who's horrible. ![]()

Rant #1 I hate living with other people, things get dirty and misplaced, they leave the cap off the toothpaste, and things I use and keep in a specific spot get moved. I have a tiny funnel I use for mixing a drink powder, I always keep it in the same place, and now it's gone. I asked and no one knows what I'm talking about, but SOMEONE moved it, why? Also I let someone borrow my Rubik's cube and they insist they gave it back to me, I don't remember that, and I have a bad memory, but it's nowhere in my room, it does not have legs. I'm not letting anyone borrow anything anymore. Someone also keeps drinking my La Croix, I got a mini fridge to put in my room so no one can touch that, but I feel like I shouldn't have to do that. I feel like it takes a lot of mental effort not to make a big deal out of things and seem like I'm crazy, but everyone is so blasé about this stuff.
Rant #2 My mom frustrates me, we set up a call for a doctor's appointment for my grandparents, and her phone apparently doesn't get a good signal here so she gave them my phone number... I said, let me bring a chromebook and set you up, it has a webcam and a mic, she said ok... then she says they are just going to call and need a phone number, so I said I can give you a google voice number and you can still use the chromebook, she says ok, I brought the chromebook and set it up, and she says it's too late they already have my number. I think she either just wanted to use my phone for some reason, or was afraid of using the chromebook. Maybe I'm too attached to my phone idk, but it's still annoying

i read something that you might like - it's quite long but you can skim it if you want and still get the gist
(i saw it just now on facebook from this man https://www.facebook.com/TheLibertarianHomeschooler/)
I don't know his real name otherwise I could credit it better
Have you noticed there has been a sharp turn away from curiosity and intellectual flexibility? From thoughtful consideration? Not the usual decline. A sharper one.
Even our brightest and our best--God help us--are not immune to it. Do you see it?
I have noticed that people's ability to hold two different ideas in tension and weigh them against one another has dropped off. We refuse to engage meaningfully. We throw up stop sign cliches to end conversations. To avoid experiencing cognitive dissonance. We prefer to turn away. We don't want to think.
We are in tight, fearful little camps trying to ward off the boogeyman. Many boogeymen. We feel pressed upon from all sides. Being physically distanced and fearful has flipped an ancient switch and driven us back to our ideological campfires.
I tell myself we are fearful. It will pass. That is the lens I'm forcing myself to look through as I think about this. I am telling myself that we are logical people, trusting people, circumspect people, people who choose deliberate, rational thought over emotional gut reactions. I am telling myself that we are people who are moral, who value the real hard work of virtuous restraint, thought, and action, not just the appearance of it. I am telling myself that we have meaningful discourse and that we have real conversations. But I am not seeing it. I am telling myself that we are all these good things and that we are behaving in ways that are contrary to all of these good things because we are fearful. And it will pass. I hope I'm right.
I am forcing myself to look through this lens because when I remove the lens, what I see is not good. Where we used to be something approaching intellectually nimble, supple, and graceful we have become parched. Rigid. Brittle. We are fracturing.
We don't have enough flexibility to be logical. Logic requires intellectual and emotional flexibility. It requires curiosity. The ability to explore outside of our tight, fearful little camps requires flexibility and curiosity. The ability to entertain ideas other than what we hear around our own campfires as real possibilities requires flexibility and curiosity. It looks like both are at an all-time low. I think fear has had its way with us and made us unable to access these virtues. I am telling myself it will pass. But I am aware the reason I am so often disappointed is that I expect people will do the right thing.
So I ask you, are you listening to people who aren't around your ideological campfire? Not listening to refute. Not listening for them to take a breath so you can jump in. Not listening out of obligation and then brushing them off. Not listening so you can shut it down with a conversation-terminating quip. None of that will do. That's jumping into water wearing a water-tight suit and claiming that you tried to get wet. No. All of that is cheap and doesn't count as listening. And you are responsible for listening. You are responsible for connection. Are you listening with an undefended heart? Are you listening for common ground? Are you listening to understand?

it also reminds me of one of my favourite songs by dawud wharnsby who i adore the way people adore the beatles here
'why are the drums so silent
why can't we hear the rhythm
what's wrong with you and i
[.......]
if we beat the drums of hope and peace
we will all fall into rhythm
i have faith in you and i.'

read that ppl sticking to the past (even if recent past) negative things that show them to have been a target or victim - they do it because they're scared of having emptiness if they let go of that and move past it..
so they immediately stick to any negative thing and cling to it.. because without it they feel there is nothing, no love, nothing people will love them for or show sympathy for.. etc
(it didn't put it quite as long, it was more eloquent and concise..
im just stretching out what they were saying to
make it firm in my mind)
but anyway i think that's exactly what i do daily/weekly/monthly
and the book is called
HOW TO BE YOUR OWN BEST FRIEND
rant is .. there are some things that are ongoing that were done TO you that changed you (e.g. physically) or your sitaution permanently, and in a very far- reaching way..
so then what??
do these people not know about
paralyzed ppl from drunk drivers like my sister's sister-in-law, who never got justice and will never recover or have a normal life again??
