  • You have to watch an ad to crank your car.

    Every time you bring your car to a full stop while it is running, an ad plays through your audio system and displays on your radio.

    You have to watch an ad to make a phone call.

    When your phone rings, it plays an ad jingle, call JG Wentworth 877 cash now.

    When you send a text message or write a text post to an online system, an ad is injected with your text post so that readers in order to read what you wrote also have to read the ad.

    If you have Smart lights or anything smart in your home, in order to use it you have to watch an ad.

    In order to pay for something with a credit card you have to watch an ad on the credit card machine and click one of the choices that are offered to you.

    Smart pillows that play hypnotic ads at you in your sleep.

    Your electric toothbrush requires an ad to be played the whole time it is being used, and if you brush your teeth for less than the length of the ad, then they take a dollar from you.

    Some guy comes to your house and screams logos and add quotes at you all of the time. If you try to get him to shut up he murders you and your entire family.

    Replace the guy with a robot.



  • I wrote it out as if it were the spec script plot of a movie.

    Guys out with his friends watching the eclipse and all of a sudden some other guy walks up behind him puts an umbrella up and covers over the view right at the apex of the eclipse. He turns to look at that guy and the guy says don’t look at the Sun. As soon as he says that all of the main characters friends suddenly explode in a puff of dust.

    The guy starts freaking out and then eventually they end up working their way back to the house as he has the other guy the angel explains what is going on

    It’s the end of days. the eschaton. And the Sun is claiming every single person it can.

    This guy claims to be your angel. To prove it he shows obviously hobbycraft Dollar store wings and a Halo that’s clearly being supported by a strand.

    The guy says that there must be something going on I’m going to look at my phone as they’re driving around and right as he’s about to open up the news the guy slaps the phone down and it says don’t look at your phone.

    As someone who freezes the video should be able to see a picture of the eclipse on the phone, from a camera stuck pointing up at it and everyone who looks at it to turn it off instantly explodes

    Why did the angel save the man? Is the Angel actually an angel? What things happen?

    The angel says that the guy is not exactly the best dude in the world. And given that is the end of days this is the last chance you’ll have to make everything right and the angel kind of goofed off a little bit so you know I got to figure out a way together to get him into heaven so that the angel also gets to go to heaven and to do that they’ve got to do some good deeds really fucking quick, well everyone that even catches a glimpse of a reflection of the eclipse Sun immediately explodes into dust.

    Most of the small to mid size companies that I have worked for would choose a larger more established system that costs more even if it offers less over a self-hosted one that they had to pay some sort of fee for.

    Is like this weird idea in the business world that if you’re using Foss systems that it must be completely free, and that the reason why you are using it is because you are broke or cheap.


  • Tesofensine is an antidepressant with weight loss effects that can be purchased online without a prescription for research purposes.

    It’s fairly expensive, usually running about $250 for a one month supply, but if you need a temporary break from your depression then it might work for you.

    However, because it is a research chemical, all of the side effects of the chemical are not known and you would be taking a risk in using it even for a short period of time.

    Chances are it is likely safe but there is still a risk and you have to weigh that against your mental health and your finances and the costs and difficulty associated with getting put on a traditional antidepressant prescribed to you by a competent doctor.


  • My understanding is that there’s our physical bodies and there is the lightning of spirit that is our divine selves and when the two are combined together we become a soul.

    I don’t envision the soul as something that is separate from the body. Just each of us are one.

    Like if you were turned into a computer program and run on a universe computer, your soul would be whatever happens to actually be actively being computed by the CPU and existing in ram at the moment.

    The hard data saved on the hard drive would be your body and the electricity coursing through the CPU would be your spirit but only what is actually happening when the two combine is a soul.


  • Half elf.

    Actual elf would be too sad, since they’re going to live for several thousand years and I would only be a blink in their existence, but a half elf, barring any kind of gigantic world upset would get to live until our grandkids grandkids grew up and they’re continued presence in the world would ensure that the my presence in the world did not fade so quickly.






  • To a certain point I agree with you, mild psychedelics have been used for millennia to help people uncover their own issues and work through them.

    The other side of that is that it is not a cure-all, and most of the people that habitually use psychedelics tend to check out from reality.

    So, even if they can be used medicinally and be helpful, they are a double-edged sword in that just because you’ve seen through some of your own assumptions doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve pierced the veil of the greater illusion of Maya.


  • The other thing is it’s not exactly like the matrix is made to be broken. People have been talking about the concept of Maya, that the world as presented to us is nothing but an illusion meant to keep us trapped, for thousands of years.

    They claim that the enlightened people the bodhisattvas the jesus’s and Muhammad’s have broken through the illusion and stayed back to help guide us along the way.

    Which is all well and good but that does not mean that breaking the illusion is easy. It doesn’t even mean necessarily that it is possible because first you have to prove that an illusion exists and then you have to prove that there is a way to break it, and most people, I believe, go mad along the way.

    I said all of that to say, if you find a way to break out of the matrix please for the love of God show me the way.



  • It’s fun, like most other people said. And for some things, it’s nice.

    I have two of my doors with network compatible smart locks with fingerprint readers so I don’t need a key to get into my own house, and I have a remote garage door opener that I can fire off with my phone to let somebody in if need be.

    All of the entrances to my house have video cameras over them that alert my phone if they detect any movement, and some of my lights are on schedules to let me know when to go to bed because I have problems with that anyway.

    Other than that it’s kind of nice to be able to turn on all of the lights in my house with a few clicks, although many of my lights are on motion detectors so I don’t have to try to find the light switches, mostly in hallways and closets.

    The one thing I have left to set up of the stuff that I have bought is a sensor for my front door.

    Once it is set up, I will set it so that when I open my front door it will turn on the main light in the living room so I don’t have to try to reach around and find a switch.

    Finally, it’s nice having the peace of mind to know that if I’m away from my house I can double check and make sure all of the lights are out, adjust my air conditioning so that I’m not heating an empty building, and once I’m done with that I intend on setting up a smart watering system so if I’m away from the house during the summer I can make sure that my plants receive enough water.

    It’s just handy stuff. Makes my life easier, gives me something fun to do, and it can be really cool to watch my house take care of itself without me having to lift a finger.
