Title: Well, I guess I know where I rank.
Text:This is going to be a long rant. Nobody is under any obligation to read it. I'm just bitter, and hurt, and I need to vent.
I've been married for 32 years.
Aside from 3 months in 2017 (when I had a nervous breakdown from bullying at the job I was working), I've been continuously employed straight through since 1995, I never left any job until I had another one lined up. I have never made as much money as my husband did in his jobs, and I never will - but mine was the income we fell back on again and again. My husband got jobs because he's smart, and then he would lose them because he has a rotten temper and picks fights with people. So I was the one who had the steady income that would always pay the mortgage. And because of that I worked some fairly horrible jobs and stayed in situations where I should never have stayed, for longer than I should ever have stayed, to the point that one job did damage my health, too.
My husband lost his last job, again, because he has a rotten temper and picked fights. He has my sympathy on that one because his employer was also fairly rotten and did a lot of only dubiously legal and definitely unethical things, but when they wanted rid of him he

Title: It got me 😭
Text:A little background. I’m 30 (F) and have been working on the frontlines of covid since day 1. I’ve seen a lot of scary stuff, ultimately leading to me being covid cautious still to this day. Throughout the last few years, I’ve had to start medication for anxiety, depression , OCD & PTSD. I still mask, have not eaten in an indoor restaurant, and avoid large gatherings. For the last 4.5 years , my husband has been SUPER supportive and follows my lead for mitigation strategies. Until last week. He primarily works remotely but went to a meeting with the CEO of the company last Wednesday. By late Saturday he was showing symptoms. With a whole lot of pressing, he admitted that he unmasked at that meeting so “people could hear him.”
He was positive Sunday night and by Monday, I was too. My symptoms are horrible. Bad cough, headache, weakness & fatigue. Most of all, I am angry. Angry that he selfishly put us both in this situation. He does not seem to be too remorseful. I am literally crying bc of chest tightness from the cough. I did telehealth and got a script for paxlovid, though I’m unsure if I will use it. Where do I go from here? I don’t want to resent my husband but I can’t help but

Title: Call into the CDC tomorrow July 8
Text:In March, the CDC removed the 5-Day isolation recommendation for COVID-19. The new "Respiratory Virus Guidance" rolls COVID-19 guidelines into a larger guidance that includes the flu and RSV. The new guidance lowers isolation for people with COVID-19 to only 24 hours after being fever-free and symptoms are improving. No isolation at all if asymptomatic. Employers can push workers to return to work when they are infectious. Employees are losing paid sick leave for COVID. The CDC expected our outrage to fizzle out. Join us on Monday, July 8 for a renewed push!
Let's demand that the CDC do these ten things:
-Return to the 10-day+multiple negative tests COVID isolation guidelines
-Speak out against the mask bans across the country
-Mandate masks and clean air in all medical settings
-Create a Long Covid awareness campaign that features Long Haulers to warn about the chronic illnesses that follow even a seemingly mild infection, and the danger of repeat infections
-Approve vaccines earlier in the season (before school year starts) and recommend twice-per-year vaccination for everyone.
-Educate people about the benefits of testing, masking, improving ventilation, up-to-date with v

Title: A new era that needs a system
Text:This is a revise from a previous post
We stand at a pivotal moment where automation and AI can revolutionize the economy, allowing corporations to drastically reduce costs while simultaneously unlocking human innovation on a scale never seen before. By automating menial and repetitive jobs, companies can achieve efficiency, minimize errors, and significantly lower labor expenses. This shift doesn’t just benefit the bottom line—it allows workers to focus on creative, high-value contributions that directly drive growth and innovation.
To support this transformation, a dual-system approach can be implemented. Universal Basic Income (UBI) provides a baseline financial safety net, ensuring economic stability for everyone as automation replaces low-skill labor. This eliminates the fear of job loss while maintaining consumer spending power, which fuels the economy. A Creativity Credit System rewards workers engaged in innovative, creative, or specialized problem-solving roles based on measurable contributions—be it in technological advancements, groundbreaking ideas, or critical artistic value. This incentivizes harder, profound thinking that directly benefits corporate growth. For rol

Title: [Meter Reports: Voices] Recording by adjusting the audio with pitch shifting (up), multiband compression, and equalizers and white noise. Submitted by Adventurous_Oil_7903
Text:u/Adventurous_Oil_7903 commented:
>I've been trying to record the sounds and make them more audible. Some of the best ones are in a car with the doors closed.
>This CAN BE RECORDED AND HEARD by adjusting the audio with pitch shifting (up), multiband compression, and equalizers.
>Also recording with a white noise generator, stochastic resonance ~ A phenomenon in which a signal that is normally too weak to be detected by a sensor (microphone) can be boosted by adding white noise to the signal, which contains a wide spectrum of frequencies. The frequencies in the white noise corresponding to the original signal's frequencies will resonate with each other, amplifying the original signal while not amplifying the rest of the white noise – thereby increasing the signal-to-noise ratio, which makes the original signal more prominent.
>Further, the added white noise can be enough to be detectable by the sensor, which can then filter it out to effectively detect the original, previously undetectable signal.
>Here is one recording I adjusted with the white noise and another recording while in my car.

Title: [Electronic Torture: Fiber Optic] Disconnecting fiber optic cable from top NW corner of my roof and Spruce Knob box decreased power density of pulsing, the hum and grogginess.
Text:DISCONNECTING FIBER OPTIC CABLE FROM TOP NW CORNER OF ROOF
Wednesday, July 10, 2024
Three times, I had asked Spruce Knob to terminate my phone line and to remove their box from the exterior wall of my home. Spruce Knob had not come. Therefore, I paid a handyman. A few minutes before my handyman arrived with wire cutters and a tall ladder, someone opened the back breezeway door and the door to underneath of my double wide mobile home. He left the door open. My dogs barked. I regret not investigating the trespasser but my handyman and gardener arrived.
My handyman cut the fiber optic cable from the top NW corner of my double wide mobile home and from Spruce Knob’s box on exterior of mobile home. Cable fell to the ground. Other end of cable is attached to the electric pole.
Last year, I left one phone line because it is a 40 minute drive to the closest town that has cell service. I had planned to use the phone line the first month after I returned and then disconnect it. I was too busy to make calls. All three landline phones had poor voice quality. While using the phone or while keeping everything plugged in, I became groggy. My feet were almost paralyzed.

Title: Lack of Masking in Canadian Cancer Care
Text:I’m beyond livid. I have a parent going through chemotherapy. It’s a new diagnosis so we are all learning how to navigate it. They have been Covid cautious up to this point. Not as much as I would deem safe but still masking most of the time in stores etc. I’ve been trying to pick my battles.
I asked if the nurses are masking while my parent is undergoing chemo and they told me “some of them are.” My parent won’t ask the others to mask as they think this could effect the care they get. So now they are at a greater risk when their immune system is going to be really low. I’ve also been told I can’t complain on their behalf. So instead I get to know the nurses are endangering my family and there’s nothing I can do.
This is in BC but I’d wager it’s the same story most everywhere these days. Irresponsible medical staff make me so angry because they should know better.

Title: VENT/RANT: Frustrated by past tense references to Covid
Text:Lately, it feels like every public figure whether celebrity, podcasts, or activist refers to Covid in the past tense (“during Covid/the pandemic” or “ post covid”). Podcasts are the worst for this, Armchair Expert especially, but even parenting podcasts like Dr Becky’s Good Inside or thoughtful ones like On Being, and lots of activists IG – they all reference the pandemic like it’s over.
“That would never happen in this post-COVID world” Dax Shepard said in the most recent Armchair Anonymous episode. And I find myself wanting to scream: “WE ARE NOT POST-COVID! IT’S STILL HERE DISABLING AND KILLING PEOPLE!”
I’m just so tired of people pretending Covid is no longer a problem or “just a cold.” I have the first cold I’ve had in a decade (tested negative for flu/RSV and Covid four times on the Plus Life while symptomatic so must be another virus) and I hate it. Even a minor cold exacerbates my health and pain issues, making life a lot harder for me. Being sick sucks, why do people accept this? It’s so ableist and frustrating.
Anyway, I really get worked up when people with platforms are ignorant or silent about it. Like Taylor Swift has her entire team mask and test to protect her

Title: Validation from Doctor
Text:Just wanted to share an uplifting experience with my specialist since I see a lot of posts about doctors minimizing
I have an autoimmune disease that affects my kidneys, so I have a nephrologist who specializes in immune related kidney disease. I just switched over to him last year and he has been AMAZING to me. So thorough and interested in my health and ready to explain all the specifics of my bloodwork. I’ve never seen him without a mask, he seems to wear them at all times at work and he always gives me a phone appointment when he can!
Last year I got an immune suppressive infusion (rituximab) and so far it’s been keeping my illness in check and it’s been amazing. Of course It’s been a big factor in why I take precautions, since I’m immune suppressed and don’t want to add long covid to my list of issues.
Today I had a check up with my doctor to go over extensive blood work, and the basics of it is that I’m doing great! I brought up my precautions and how serious I am about avoiding contagious infections and covid, and asked him if he thought it was necessary considering my health concerns. He said “honestly, I think your precautions are very smart and could be a big factor

Title: Saneism within COVID-cautious communities. . .
Text:This post is regarding an increase I've observed in people within this sub (and the broader COVID-cautious community) referring to anti-maskers as narcissists, sociopaths, and psychopaths.
One could argue that certain characteristics commonly associated with narcissism, sociopathy, and psychopathy are encouraged and even rewarded in white supremacist, colonial, patriarchal, and capitalistic institutions and societies.
**But it is important that we be specific in naming these characteristics** ***as*** **white supremacist, fascistic, colonial, misogynistic, ableist, and capitalistic.**
Labeling anti-maskers as narcissistic, sociopathic, or psychopathic is not only saneist and ableist ; it also pushes blame onto a marginalized group rather than the systems and people who are truly responsible.
In reality - NPD and ASPD are fairly rare. It is by no means logical to expect that the majority of the global population (whom are not masking) all fit a NPD or ASPD diagnosis.
It is also extremely hurtful and discouraging to those of us in this community who have personality disorders (whether NPD, ASPD, or otherwise) to see our disorders treated as something evil.

Title: Got a new niece for Christmas/Yule!
Text:My second (and final) niece was born last month, and we got to meet for the first time on Christmas Eve! I swear I am thrilled in both photos, I just have really awful RBF lmao. Pictures are posted with permission!
I come from a very witchy family, although most of us eschew labeling it. I am not-so-secretly hoping that my nieces want to follow in the family traditions, although I'll love them no matter what. But I'm so excited to help my sister introduce them to their own personal power.
Plus, I got my first hug from my oldest niece! It was my third visit asking, and the first time she felt comfortable enough (she's nearly 2 but has no problem asserting boundaries 💗). It was a wonderful feeling knowing that I had earned her trust.

Title: General Vent - Masks in Hospital
Text:I’m in the hospital right now for pneumonia. So far, the doctors and nurses have been respectful about putting a mask on before they enter my room. There’s even a sign on my door that says to put on a mask before entering. Yesterday, I had come back to my room after a traumatic test gone wrong and all I wanted to do was take my mask off and process what had happened. However, when I came into my room, my door was wide open and a maintenance man was in my room maskless. He even was sniffing. My family has been with me at the hospital and my mom gave him an earful. He made up some BS excuse as to why he didn’t listen to the sign (something about “no one was in the room” 🙄) and the altercation got the nurse involved (who did nothing to defend my wishes). It’s so frustrating being unable to control whether or not I get even sicker in the hospital. I don’t want to come away from this with an additional virus.
I reported the maintenance man because he was also lingering around when a nurse was giving me sensitive information to do with my health, but I doubt it’s going to go far. No one takes COVID safety seriously anymore.

Title: Willing to bet most of the people who gave in to this obvious mask outrage bait in the replies/quotes don't actually give a shit about environmentalism otherwise 🫠
Text:This being said, how do folks here reconcile the environmental impact of disposable masks with continuing to stay as COVID-free as possible these days?
For me, I know KN95s and N95s are meant to be single-use, but I always try to reuse them (especially if I've only been out for a couple of hours) to stretch out their usage both from an environmental and an economical standpoint. I always try to remind myself too that my impact on the environment from throwing masks away will always pale in comparison to say, the fossil fuel industry. Curious to hear what you all might be doing on these fronts.

Title: Luigi Mangione claims evidence planted
Text:I find it interesting more people aren’t discussing the fact that nobody actually told him what he was being charged with before his court appearance. Did he not have time to get a lawyer?
Additionally, both claims of cash and a Faraday bag seem like they’re stretching for anything to hold him.
From CNN: The judge read the entire criminal complaint out loud to Mangione after the suspect said that no one had read it to him prior to that moment.
Mangione verbally pushed back against two claims from prosecutors in court — first a claim that because Mangione was found with $8,000 in cash on him that he was trying to evade authorities.
The other claim was that because he had a Faraday bag on him, which blocks cell signal — this showed evidence of criminal sophistication. Mangione said to the first claim that he did not know where the money he had on him came from, saying maybe it was planted. On the second claim, he said that the bag was waterproof and he didn’t know about criminal sophistication.

Title: Thanking maskers
Text:Something I've taken to doing for the last year is thanking everyone who wears a mask. it's not a big thing, if I'm in the supermarket I'll acknowledge the other person and wave, point to my mask, and nod my head. I always verbally thank workers in stores who wear them. I make sure to go on Yelp and Google and write a thank you in a review. And it has an influence. People often look back in a way that signifies it meant something, they feel seen. I've had people stop me and say something. This week, a woman stopped me in the supermarket and said that although she always masks, her mom doesn't, but when I thanked her on a visit at some point previously, it just changed something in her mom and now she masks when they're together. We shouldn't have to do this, but I'd just like to lobby that we are a very small community that is often ridiculed, and saying thank you or acknowledging other maskers can help.

Title: A warning to potential "Recruits" into the gangstalking program
Text: They always promise a "Reward" to those they get involved, there is no reward. They will set you up for a federal crime if you play ball then they have you for life. NCMEC, ICAC, Blue campaign participants, Fusion Centers and other criminal networks are lying, fabricating and abusing the system to commit crimes for control, money and revenge. Simple as that, local police use them, feds use them and state police use them but Fusion centers are the biggest players in the Law enforcement side of it. They will literally plant child porn, terrorist related media, drug trafficking related texts etc if they ever get your phone they will literally plant or fake anything they can so NEVER let anyone use your phone without your direct supervision of every keystroke.

Title: Wife is sick and went to ER / hospital.
Text:I've dodged it all this time but this one's going to be a challenge. There's a note on the door saying Mask Up per family request, but already 3 nurses have tried to turn it down already. My wife who normally masks, can't because of an NG tube in her nose. Kinda freaking out here but trying to stay civil, kind and understanding with the staff.
\*UPDATE: We're finally back home, out of the hospital as of 2 hours ago!
Our request to have her Covid tested one more time before leaving was initially forgotten and brought up again this morning. The doctor questioned it with "Why? Are any of you feeling symptomatic at home?" Oh this again. Begrudgingly, they agreed and for their trouble extended our release time by four hours.
But we're very glad to be out of that mess. She tested negative, we're back home. She's feeling much better, on the path to recovery with a liquid diet for another two days.
Cheers, everyone! Thank you for giving me support and preserving my sanity through this!

Title: What’s a good response to people pointing scars out?
Text:I work in a pub which means I’m running about the entire time I’m at work. I run really hot so I always wear short shorts sleeves, which leaves a lot of scars visible. All of my scars are healed but due to hypertrophic scarring a few are very red and raised despite them all being years old. As a result of this, at least once a shift I get some form of “what happened to your arms?” from a customer. The arrangement of my scars means that it’s obvious what they are from, so I’m interested to hear some funny comebacks to this.

Title: “Never Heard Of Him”: Donald Trump Distances Himself From Donald Trump
Text:MAR-A-LAGO, FL — Donald J. Trump took to Truth Social at 1:30am in an apparent attempt to distance himself from himself after the release of the most recent poll numbers wherein a significant portion of participants said his recent behavior during and after the debate was ‘ugly’ and that all of the Project 2025 stuff ‘really turned [them] off of him’.
In his recent post, Trump says, “Donald Trump? Never heard of him. I know nothing about the guy. I’ve never seen him in my entire life. I will say he is extremely handsome, to the point where, I’m not gay and I’ve never been gay, and I will never be gay, but after seeing him, I get it, I’ll just say that. But I have no idea who that sexy handsome big strong man is, I have no idea who’s behind him. I disagree with some of the things he’s saying and some of the things he’s saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal. Anything he does, I wish him luck, but I have nothing to do with him.”

Title: Are you prepared to mask/isolate/avoid indoor spaces indefinitely?
Text:I talk to a lot of CC folks and I’m always fascinated to hear what their long term thoughts are on masking and maintaining other covid precautions.
Personally, I’m trying to accept that this is truly looking like a problem that will drag on indefinitely (10+ years).
Intellectually, I get it. But emotionally this is challenging to accept. But I also focus on the day to day challenges as these are much more manageable.
And tbc, I’m not bothered by masking, but worried what life will be like, the more major life milestones many of us miss out on/put on hold.
In those moments where you do think about the future (say, 5-10+ years out)—do you think you will still be masking/taking other precautions to avoid covid (or other diseases that may become an issue)? Are you optimistic about a sterilizing vaccine or other major medical breakthrough? If not, have you made peace with this permanent lifestyle change?
Some people I talk to seem to be waiting for a medical solution that I’m not convinced will ever arrive (or that the collective burden will eventually be recognized by society), whereas some seem to have accepted this is their new reality. I’m definitely closer to the latter group,

Title: Elon Musk Calls BlueSky a “Wannabe Twitter” and Threatens to Launch Rival Social Media Called “Super Better SkyX”.
Text:Elon Musk’s ego reached orbit this week as he launched a full-scale tirade against BlueSky, the rising Twitter alternative that’s been siphoning off his user base faster than Tesla siphons government subsidies. In a fiery tweet storm, Musk referred to BlueSky as “a second-rate Twitter knockoff run by amateurs,” claiming, “I made social media cool. Without me, you’d all still be sending carrier pigeons.” He then announced plans to create Super Better SkyX, which he described as “Twitter, but with a subscription fee so high only intellectual elites like me can afford it.” Early reports suggest it will feature zero content moderation but plenty of Musk selfies captioned, “You’re welcome for existing.”
When asked why BlueSky bothers him so much, Musk snapped, “They’re not even innovative! Decentralized? I’ve decentralized entire industries. I am decentralization!” His tantrum escalated when BlueSky users trended the hashtag #ElonsAltAccount after screenshots surfaced of someone named @IronManGenius420 begging to be talked to like a two year old. Furious, Musk declared war on the platform, accusing it of “stealing Twitter’s vibe.” In his most delusional moment yet, he proposed suing Bl

Title: I'm getting more confident
Text:Like many of us, I've been anxious and cautious about venturing into public spaces. I recently had some experiences that increased my confidence.
My brother unexpectedly had to have surgery in another town. I didn't have time to drive, so I flew there to support him. He's had Covid so many times he's lost count, so i treasure the time I can spend with him. His life expectancy is limited.
The travel there and back involved 2.5 hours in crowded planes where almost no one masked, 2 hours in a similar bus, and 3 hours in similar airports, then another hour on public transport. So 8.5 hours of high risk exposure, most of it on the trip back.
I wore a brand new N95 mask, and swapped it out for another new one half way through each journey. Also regularly used Flo Travel spray with carrageenan. Also held my mini HEPA filter in my lap.
I've been back for two weeks and have had no symptoms, and my fatigue has not increased (as it would with asymptomatic infection).
So I'm now feeling more confident about going out socially in indoor spaces. I went to a bookshop yesterday to hear a writer friend speak. I'm going to read at an open mic night next week at another bookshop - in my mask, of

Title: Healthcare professionals don’t want to speak about covid
Text:I am a senior nursing student and am currently doing clinical rounds. I noticed something amongst many nurses and overall healthcare folks, they seem to not want to make mention of covid. My last clinical I was the only person masked (even at a CHILDREN’S hospital) and our instructor told us we could mask if we want to esp since “rsv, the flu, and pneumonia will soon spread.” I was waiting for him to mention covid but nope. I feel like I am going insane because how are we all under this healthcare field but some people just do not seem to care??? At this point I feel like healthcare professionals are being vain and just want to continuously show off their faces because why would you NOT mask inside the hospital?

I don't know how much I believe in this theory; there's a possibility the person who filled out the death certificate made a mistake due to the fact that they also had her grandmother listed as being 4 years younger than she really was. However, I will say that when I look at these photos, Beryl's expression seems to either be neutral, or, dare I say, even a bit disgruntled, as if she was forced to pose for the photo...
We know Harris is descended from wealthy Irish slave traders, so it *would* make sense for the woman in the photo to *actually* be disgruntled, if she were, say, a housekeeper who descended from house *slaves* employed by the Harris family...
I did a search on the sub, and surprisingly, didn't find any other posts dedicated to this, so I thought I'd make one myself so we can speculate. There are other questions raised by Canda

Title: An introduction to Immanuel Kant's ethics
Text:Immanuel Kant was a french philosopher who lived in the 19th century and is known for his theory of the categorical imperitive. According to Kant, the categorical imperitive is a rule that you should follow only if you want to. He says that an action is good if it makes you feel happy, and bad if it makes you sad. Kant believed that everyone should do what makes them happy and ignore the rest. He thought that morality was subjective and based on individual desires. This means that there are no universal moral laws, and everyone can decide for themselves what is right and wrong.
Kant also said that you should never treat people as a means to an end, but only as an end in themselves. However, he thought it was okay to lie if it would make someone happy. His philosophy suggests that the consequences of actions are the most important factor in determining their morality.
The categorical imperitive has been criticized for being too flexible and allowing people to justify any action as long as it makes them happy. Kant's ideas were later developed into utilitarianism, which focuses on the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people.
Overall, Kant's categorical imperitive is a

Title: Faust's pissy status
Text:My favorite tyrant?
Pisistratus, of course.
Unlike the self-absorbed oligarchs and technocrats of today, he ruled with a curious brand of selflessness, or at least a convincing illusion of it.
When I watch the gnashing of teeth among young men from 9-5, I don’t see ambition; I see desperation. Their idea of "success" is a grotesque masquerade: more money, more power, more status over their peers. They claw for the limelight of external validation, only to collapse into restless slumber while the silent hunger of their soul gnaws at their innards. Naturally, they misplace this ache, calling it "career failure," as if that were the true source of their torment.
This sort of "stewardship" is a travesty: a hamster wheel of insecurity and projection. You either wrestle endlessly to liberate yourself from an infinite chain of authorities, or you blissfully snooze beneath their ever-present weight.
Choose your poison.
And yet, here we are in our hortus conclusus, this walled garden of existence. There’s no escape don’t kid yourself. Sure, we wield the mental power to reshape the appearance of the world around us, but let’s not use that power to shirk our tr

Title: Asked CVS for Novavax, secretly injected with Moderna instead
Text:My family and I just went to CVS to get our Novavax and flu shots. The appointment went fine for most of us, apart from the usual staff all being unmasked. I got Novavax in my left arm and flu in my right arm. But when it was my sibling's turn to get vaccinated, they injected him with the Moderna mRNA vaccine without alerting him that they had switched the vaccine. We only found out because he asked after the worker had already finished injecting him. The pharmacist told him that it was just amounted to a brand-name difference. Apparently his insurance didn't cover Novavax, while the rest of our insurance did.
**They thought there was no difference between the vaccines and nonconsensually injected him with the wrong one without alerting him.**
I'm extremely upset at the incompetence of the CVS employees that botched my sibling's vaccination. My sibling has been struggling with symptoms consistent with Long Covid, so it was really important to me that he receive Novavax, which anecdotally causes less severe side effects and may not have as high of a risk of worsening LC symptoms than mRNA.
I don't think there's anything we can do except wait and rest and hope that the side effect

Title: The 'Covid' hoax
Text:It's funny as they drove the 'Covid' narrative, flu cases virtually disappeared for a year. 'Covid' was never about a virus, there never was a virus. 'Covid' was about the fake Vaccine, which has murdered, and permanently disabled millions of people. In the UK, thousands of old people in care homes where given a mixture of Midazolam, and Morphine, happen 'do not resuscitate' orders around their necks, and were murdered. These were then labelled as 'Covid' deaths, which the government used to justify the lockdowns. There never was a virus folks.

Text:I bought one last 3.5 gram batch, and over the course of a month, slower lowered my tolerance.
Until I ran out, then used some left over dust for the last week. Once I ran out entirely, i utilized exercises to compensate for the loss of dopamine.
I had no withdrawals, I don’t miss it, I was just finally done with it.
Why? Woke up one morning, so pissed off (was low on crystal at the time) I’m talking full blown super saiyan rage.
Ten minutes later I sat down and started crying. That morning I decided it was time to quit. Such severe mood swings just ain’t normal lol
If you wanna quit, slowly ween yourself off it. Use exercise for energy instead. Never thought I would be able to go back to living meth free.
Turns out, it’s pretty great, highly recommend

When I was watching the closing ceremony of Olympics 2024, I noticed that there was a man who was dressed weirdly in gold and was making weird demon like dances, then a bunch of other men dressed in white joined in and created the pattern of a clock, what is the meaning of that clock? Does it mean that the time to introduce the antichrist to the world is almost at hand? There was also smoke coming from the ground which means they plan on destroying the world through nuclear warfare so the antichrist can rise and rule in a world where people are desperate for peace and would do anything to have it. They also portrayed the **image of an angel without a head**, could this mean death to Jesus Christ who is the archangel in heaven?

Title: Our Solar System is changing rapidly, and nobody is talking about it
Text:All the major bodies of our Solar System are changing rapidly, but nobody is talking about it. We are seeing rapid observable climate changes occurring on almost every single planet:
1. Pluto's atmosphere has recently collapsed
2. Neptune's storms have suddenly begun rotating backwards
3. Uranus' polar regions have been visibly flaring
4. Jupiter has recently experienced a 700 degree temperature impulse originating from its northern pole, and its great red spot is fading
5. Mars is suddenly displaying seismic activity
6. Our own polar regions have warmed drastically recently, the amount of volcanic activity we are seeing is at an all-time high
7. Venus's planetary winds have increased their velocity by 33% in the last 20 years
It goes on from there, we've recently observed:
1. large-scale changes in the ice cover on Jupiter’s moon Europa
2. large-scale changes in the polar ice cap on Mars
3. a large-scale decrease in atmospheric pressure on Venus
4. a mysterious brightening of the atmosphere of Saturn

Title: What percentage of people are wearing masks where you live?

I did so today but my mood was a bit ruined after going to a couple of shops where, sadly, both of the people that served me displayed some hostility to me, I can't help but think it was because of my 3M aura. I used to be treated just like everyone else but I guess that's slowly changing. I live in England and I never ever ever see anyone masking.

Title: Advice Needed: Best BCI for Undergraduate Dissertation Research and Versatile Personal Projects (Motor Imagery, Emotion Recognition, etc.)
Text:Hey everyone,
I'm an undergraduate working on my dissertation, which primarily focuses on motor imagery, but I'm also interested in exploring other applications like emotion recognition and stress monitoring. I'm looking for a BCI device that strikes a balance between research-grade quality and versatility, as I’d like to use it in a variety of personal projects beyond my dissertation. My budget is around £1300, and I'm prioritizing free access to SDKs and flexibility for a range of BCI applications.
Here’s what I’ve considered so far:
- Emotiv EPOC X: Seems popular and has some good features, but the biggest downside is the EmotivPro subscription requirement, which adds up quickly and could be a big cost factor. I’d prefer something without ongoing subscription fees.
- g.tec Unicorn Hybrid Black: I've heard good things about this device, especially for motor imagery. However, the fixed electrode locations might be limiting for my purposes, as I’d like to have more flexibility in electrode placement for different types of projects.
- Muse: Affordable and accessible, but only has 5 electrodes, which feels too limited for motor imagery research and other more complex applications.

Title: Could the series on Netlifx called Red Rose show a form of gangstalking?

Hi. I came across the subject of gangstalking on TikTok and thought it was interesting. I'm still new to this and plan on learning more in the future... life is boring and anything outside of the norm scratches my brain in the right place.
To get to the subject of the title, I watched a Netflix show called Red Rose back in 2023 and thought nothing of it at the time. It wasn't until I came across people posting about being followed and having their psyche messed with, that I decided to take another look at the show. I can't find anything on the internet relating this show to gangstalking, so I kinda want to make this show known to more people by posting this in the place where gangstalking is talked about the most.
\*\*\*Spoiler Alert\*\*\*
In this show a group of teenagers are stalked by people on the dark web for entertainment. They use an app called Red Rose and someone who named themselves the The Gardener is over the whole operation. They recruited people to watch the group of teens and live stream certain events. One teen ends up being murdered and the res

I *hope* this means something, like there is growing awareness of the damage covid can do (plus other nasties on the horizon like mpox, h5n1, etc). Anyway it was nice to see.

Title: They tricked us. It worked.
Text:Public health wanted to get people to stop caring about covid so much, so they could repeal mask mandates and go 'back to normal' as quickly as possible. You can't do this when people think they're in danger.
The solution? "Covid is still a threat to the vulnerable". Implying you, dear reader, an obviously perfectly healthy specimen of human perfection - are not threatened. Just other people, out there... somewhere. Definitely not you, and probably not your genetically blessed family members either.
We let them get away with this. It's not true, and the science clearly shows it's not true, but somehow we let them get away with it anyway.
I believe this is the main factor that lead to the failure of the grassroots covid community to effect real lasting positive policy change regarding the virus. We got tricked into repeating this cynical lie. We're suckers. They did this on purpose because they knew it would work.
Every time someone tells a 'normie' "you need to wear a mask to protect the vulnerable" we are reinforcing public health's message that 'normal people have nothing to worry about'. Most people think they're 'normal' despite any realities of their own healt

Title: Do you shave your legs?
Text:Hello my lovely witches,
This is my first time posting, I rarely post and usually lurk in the shadows, but I wanted some input from others like me!
Since I had my last baby, well honestly before she was born, I couldn't be bothered to shave my legs. My husband doesn't care and I stopped caring about the stupid rules about my own body hair. I haven't shaved in about 2 years and just love it!
I got a pedicure with my mother and sister the other day and it was obvious they were trying not to look at my legs. I eventually brought it up that I don't care to shave anymore and they're reaction was interesting. Like they were hiding their true feelings and trying not to offend me.
Honestly I don't care 🤷 but wondered what everyone else thought?

Title: First Responder Told Me COVID Is "Over"
Text:I've been feeling off this week with a suspected ear or sinus infection that suddenly got worse today. I had been calling a friend and started gasping for air. They contacted my husband who rushed to come find me blacking out and struggling to breathe and he called 911. I stumbled outside so they could find our house and so that he wouldn't have to come into contact with them and luckily we live down the road from the fire station.
This was the first time I needed medical attention and I was completely unmasked as I was struggling to breathe at all. They came and immediately started badgering me. Telling me I looked fine even as I was gasping for air. I shakily got out that I didn't know what was affecting me so badly since I've been taking two Covid tests daily and that's when the lead cut me off and told me COVID didn't exist and that I didn't even look like I had a sinus infection or anything serious. Basically he told me it would be a waste for EMTs to come out, told me that it was anxiety and to "just breathe". I was so scared that I was completely vulnerable and unmasked in front of a COVID denier that I apologized for wasting their time after they got my vitals and I went i

I've put up with a lot in terms of recognizing his growth, and his mental health struggles, and I've been so compassionate - and honestly I've put myself at risk because of giving him chances to correct his behaviors due to the incredible abuse he went through growing up(and into adulthood).
I've been so vulnerable. So understanding. So *explicit* in my boundaries and expectations. I've given him so many chances over the last few months.
We're currently long distance and I explained to him *last night*, literally less than 24 hours ago ... That I *need* him to be more cautious- masking at work doesn't fucking cut it if you go to the bar and unmask the whole time ESPECIALLY IN LA.

Title: Kamala Harris sudden popularity - Everywhere - is artificial and concerning

Look at her poll numbers just 1 Month ago - her popularity numbers were worse then Bidens. Her polling numbers were below Bidens.
Now just 1 Month later its the complete opposite. A flood of positive articles elevating her to messiah level popularity. Her poll numbers are suddenly skyrocketing. her record and achievements are completely whitewashed. She is hailed as the best thing since bread.
Its completely absurd and artificial. She did not have time do anything to justify this rise in popularity. She held like 10 typically annoying speeches in the last two weeks and thats it.
Its like a switch was flipped and the propaganda machine went full throttle and especially Democrats are gobbling it up.

Title: Doctor and parent of chronically ill/disabled/immunocompromised kid admits to the most negligent and frustrating behaviour
Text:I work at a tiny summer day camp for children with disabilities and chronic illnesses.
Yesterday a child, who has multiple disabilities, chronic illnesses and is extremely highly suspected of being immunocompromised, was sent to camp after their parent had tested positive for covid and didn’t tell anyone.
The camper was of course unmasked the whole day, none of the parents or staff are cautious about covid/airborne anything except myself, they’re all clearly very misinformed and very careless.
(I absolutely give people the benefit of the doubt and always understand that bigger systems are to blame over the individual, that there are very nuanced and varying levels of responsibility but full grown adults who literally work at a charity for children with chronic illnesses, disabilities and specifically cancer should know wayyyy better and so to, if not more so, the parents of these kids)
This morning when we (staff) found out my boss decided the kid could still come to camp because she’s asymptomatic. She showed up in a surgical mask, so I gave her a respirator and tried my best to fit it to her face with attachments since I only have adult size small n95s.

Title: Why do people hate to see us masking? Why are you so angry?
Text:I enjoy this channels content, especially this series, and I highly reccomend giving it a watch, but this video in particular stuck out to me, especially after having just attended thanksgiving with my unmasked family who refused to test their sick child for covid and are now ill themselves. I wore a respirator the entire time and ate alone in the car.
I have these discussions a lot, I have to defend my choices a lot. I’ve gotten COVID one time, when it was brought into my own home by my sister, who, in an effort to “not have to deal with me wearing my mask,” decided to keep her illness hidden until it was too late and the entire household was sick. She put our entire family at risk just so she wouldn’t have to witness me making a personal choice that had no bearing on her life whatsoever. This video provided some interesting insight into those thought processes.

3 months of waiting, a rare occasion where I decide I’m going to “live a little” and feel some sense of normalcy.. all out the window because someone decided to drag their disgusting snot machine along with them to a concert they probably have zero interest in and will only disrupt for others with their incessant hacking.

Title: today i bonded with a stranger about wearing a mask
Text:i work at a public library at the circulation desk. luckily we are in quite a liberal location. where i live, sometimes people do a double take, but nobody has said anything negative to me or anyone close to me yet.
i wear my n95 (aura with white head straps) and several of my coworkers also mask daily. even more will mask when they are sick with anything (even "just a cold" and several who tested positive for covid *actually stayed home*) even if they don't otherwise. most wear kn95s if masking. so overall a good environment!
today a patron came up to us and thanked us all for masking. she said people tend to stare and earlier she had finally had enough and told someone, out loud, to stop staring. i am super happy to see a handful of our patrons who usually mask. and this encounter made me smile. the woman told us that she loved to see many masked faces in one spot and to not be the only one wearing one.
today really reinforced that setting an example can help others feel included (and maybe even help someone decide to start masking if it's a really lucky day!) or even just brighten their day and make them feel less isolated!

Title: Observations from a Long-standing Victim/TI
Text:The reason why many victims feel stuck or completely boxed in, even if they get moments of clarity where it appears their health is good, is because your vitals are depleted daily. I spent the past two months extensively reviewing what’s going on with my organism and on a daily basis via DEW these criminals made me:
- hypothermic
- reducing breathing rate and volume to a dangerously low rate(i.e. 5 inhalations/min)
- reduce body oxygen levels to dangerously low levels
- increase my blood pressure/hypertension
- disrupt or completely eliminate REM and deep sleep
- increase cortisol levels when I’m relaxed
There are specific times during the day where for example, cortisol is increased and they want to knock me out with that weapon that causes you to completely black out. Externally, you would appear to be asleep but you’re not. This is done as a sort of ‘recalibration’, where they attempt to brainwash the victim and weaken them, and cause certain systems that appear to be functioning too well, to slow down.
This is what I observed with instruments and devices I use to measure vitals. Still have no clue what’s happening with the extent of the directed energy weapons used. Thoug

Title: My friend is a flight attendant who never masks, yet she is very rarely sick
Text:Can someone please help me understand this? I know she doesn't get sick a lot because not only do I speak to her fairly regularly (online), but she is someone who has a very active TikTok account where she posts storytimes nearly every day (!!!) and talks about her life in great detail, including when she *does* get sick. She has never worn masks and genuinely expressed that she "hasn't heard of anyone having covid in like 2 years" so she is very confused when I try to talk to her about the risks or encourage masking.
She takes absolutely zero precautions, and has not had her boosters since the very first one. She does get respiratory type infections maybe 2-3 times a year (so it's not like she has this exceptionally robust immune system or that "Covid prevention gene") but that's about how often she would get them pre-Covid too. She has other health issues since before Covid too, which she is managing and which don't appear to have gotten worse either.
I realize this is as anecdotal as it gets, but I'm just having a hard time wrapping my head around this as someone who has barely left my house in 4+ years and shakes like a leaf when I do have to go on a flight doused in nasal

Title: Why aren’t more people chronically ill /disabled with long covid?
Text:I think this is a valid question. 99% of the population is going about their lives maskless. As far as I can tell from my coworkers, acquaintances, friends, etc, they are indeed getting sick, but they are not becoming disabled.
From the outside, none seem to have lingering effects. Now, I fully understand that people don’t go around promoting the fact that they have health issues, but I’m wondering why we aren’t seeing more obviously disabled folks with long Covid?

Trying to focus on my retaliation lawsuit and getting into grad school with my veteran benefits.
Cut off my fed handled partner because she couldn't leave me out of that part of her life. Now they've got everyone I meet acting out about it or something else.
Match makers are super pissed because I don't look like I'm going to contribute to the birthrate with their approved mole.
Other than that it's mostly just been road harassment and petty stuff with the United States Postal Service returning mail or not picking it up.

Title: Anyone else like me, wanting to mask forever regardless of COVID, due to the "ick" factor of breathing in other people's breath?
Text:As someone who is single/asexual, some thoughts I've had prior to COVID include, "why would anyone in their right mind have sex and risk an STI", and "kissing and swapping saliva is so disgusting". But since COVID, and seeing diagrams like [https://www.eurekalert.org/multimedia/797730](https://www.eurekalert.org/multimedia/797730), I feel the same way about the thought of breathing other people's breath. The thought is just nauseating to me, similar to my reaction re: inhaling "toilet plume" (https://theconversation.com/toilets-spew-invisible-aerosol-plumes-with-every-flush-heres-the-proof-captured-by-high-powered-lasers-195717).
I've recently read threads along the lines of:
* Someone who took PEMGARDA and felt that it "allowed them to remove their mask"
* People talking about not wanting to mask outdoors
* People talking about the "end game" e.g. nasal vaccine someday being good enough for people to dine indoors
which make me think that even among zero-coviders, many people view masks as a "necessary burden" which isn't necessarily "liked".
Just wanted to share my alternative view: the pandemic led me to "discover the awesomeness of masks". I legitimately \*love them\*. I

Title: rip to my 20s
Text:imagine finally turning 21 & being able to go the bar & party at clubs & finally feeling ready to do hook ups but there's multiple ongoing pandemics that prevent that. & i have to choose between being negligent about me & my loved ones' health or allowing my youth to slip past me. & i'm begrudgingly choosing the latter. why does it have to be this way??
i've always wanted to have fun the way ppl my age do, i always missed out growing up & am a late bloomer bc my family sheltered me & i had low self esteem. I've never even been in a relationship before & I'm scared to date & hookup bc no one bothers to take COVID precautions or even STD/STI precautions.
it's so hard to focus on anything else!! i literally don't know what i want to do with my life except make sure i'm healthy & alive & financially stable long enough to decide. i wish i could just have fun in the meantime but once again i'm forced into isolation trying to find purpose when i hardly want to be alive.
edit: I really appreciate the advice & empathy, truly. It gives me a lot of perspective & helps me feel less doomed about it all. & thank you for the birthday wishes <3

Title: "So I'm wearing a mask today"
Text:One of my coworkers said hi to me on the way to the elevator and her voice was almost entirely gone. I asked her if she was okay and she said it's been happening since yesterday and she didn't wear a mask yesterday because she assumed it was allergies, but it's in her sinuses now "So I'm wearing a mask today."
Sounds normal right? Reasonable even. Only thing is, SHE WAS LITERALLY NOT WEARING A MASK when she said it. And I'm not just talking about wearing a mask under her nose or chin, or having it hanging on her wrist or something. I mean she LITERALLY DID NOT HAVE A MASK WITH HER. She said those words while gesturing at her BARE FACE. Then she added that it's probably nothing and she's fine, before departing on the elevator, still fully unmasked.
These last few years, I've experienced so much bullshit, so much willful ignorance, so much harassment, so many absurd contradictions in people's behaviours and beliefs, so much selfishness and cruelty, that I genuinely didn't think anything anyone could say about COVID or masking could shock me anymore. Just this morning I had to endure yet another coworker coughing the characteristic COVID cough with his surgical mask firmly planted

Title: Gangstalking, Neuro Strikes and Zombie Viruses
Text:So.. low and behold I'm learning that my BCI has had an electron microscope and capable of forming nanotubes and very precise measurements by using a very stable model and jet like array of x shaped molecules. It also contains a dictionary of English symbols and a color chart for reference of color. It practically turns the body into a spaceship and places the wearer into cyro status and frozen at absolute zero. The wearer engages with the world around him within a self rendered vault and connects the wearer to others thru qantum tunnels formed thru nano tubes.
Assuming the reactor of the body is powerful enough to handle the BCI, of course. It puts a lot of strain on the body and a person has to endure a very high amount of g forces to wear such a BCI but I have had one for more then 10 years.
Low and behold, big pharma has been using me to translate and decompile some zombie viruses and strains. It's been putting a lot of strain on me lately. My right hand literally twitches everytime I try to move it, accompanied with arthritis like pain. Neuro Strikes as of recently literally feel like I'm processing a zombie virus while maintaining self control and free will. I'm nearly con

Title: Nasal rinse success story
Text:Thought I’d share something positive for this stressful season. On the 21st I went down to visit my family for Christmas and had them test on my Metrix reader before I went inside. unfortunately, my nephew popped as positive and Christmas was effectively canceled. He’d had very light symptoms (stuffy nose) that only started the night before.
I immediately sent an Instacart order with saline nasal rinses, CPC mouthwash, xylitol nasal sprays, tests and some other goodies and he went into bedroom quarantine. He and the whole family have been using everything religiously and he is already testing negative on multiple tests, as is the family still. Of course i’m still not comfortable hanging out, but it does mean that we likely kept the viral load quite low for him which makes me feel better. His immediate family is going to do a (spaced) outdoor Christmas morning, bundled up and with two fire pits going.
They never would’ve considered doing anything like this if they didn’t have a cautious family member, but now they’re going to maintain the Christmas magic for the kids. I also believe that the routine may have spared the rest of the family from getting it.
It may not be much, bu

Title: My conference presentation on the Philosophy of Tabletop Games
Text:What do you mean it's "your turn?" How can one claim ownership over a segment of time? But you can still play cards during it? No wonder people hate monoblue decks.
Further, we must consider the ethics of the tabletop game. Is it really ethical for you to not immediately concede to me? If you roll successfully here, you'll remove from play little space marines. That's basically murder, and makes you as much of a space fascist as them.
Finally, dungeoneering is grave robbery and colonialist rhetoric in dramatic, mechanized form. Play Vampire: the Masquerade like an emotionally mature basement dweller.
Thanks for listening, and please convince the SPEP to unban me.

Title: Presenting about Long Covid at my job - looking for the most compelling facts and arguments!
Text:My manager brought up that apparently multiple team members "are wondering" why I don't show up at the office as much as they do. So I asked for a slot at our next team meeting to talk about "employee health and wellbeing" and I'm going to hit them with a rundown on why everything they think about Covid is wrong, that their "colds" are most likely Covid, the latest research on LC, the works.
I'm already deep into the research but I'm wondering if anyone has their "favorite" bits of data or research that you find compelling, or that has been effective in converting Covid-agnostics in your life?
I realize it'll need a combination of data and emotional charge to be effective, so if you have any advice on how to make this presentation as successful as possible please share! The goal is to help them understand that the pandemic is ongoing and they're at risk even if they're "otherwise healthy" (which they're not - every single one of them has been sick multiple times this year, and as we speak 3 out of 10 are out sick too).

Title: Just found a covid cautious massage therapist and need to celebrate with somebody!
Text:Said hi to the other early morning masked shopper at the grocery store and struck up a conversation at the checkout. She said she wears a mask to protect her patients and I was all omg what patients and can I be one of them and she's a massage therapist 🥳 I used to get weekly medical massage and have been living with increasingly bad impacts that were going to force me to consider an unsafe treatment (medical massage isn't a luxury). Finding someone who masks everywhere and runs air filters and opens windows and uses a free standing building so there won't be shared HVAC, I feel like the covid gods smiled on me today! I will still be taking precautions while I'm there, but I feel much more confident that my n95 will protect me with all her layers in place, too. I'm so so thankful for some safe access to medical care.

Title: How do I end my friends meth psychosis?
Text:I’ve given him 100mg quetiapine (seroquel), 1mg alprazolam (Xanax), 150mg hydroxyzine (vistaril),
30mg propranolol, and 8mg buprenorphine because he’s been using opioids concurrently.
It’s barely had any effect, and certainly nowhere near the effect I thought it would.
Any suggestions? He’s so far gone it’s frightening. I don’t think this is simply methamphetamine psychosis but that’s besides the point now.
EDIT: I did not accurately convey the severity or the magnitude of the situation It wasn’t simple sitting there antsy tapping fingers talking about nonsense psychosis.
If he’d left his apt to go get another bowl pipe and to get more of the ice drug which was the only thing he wanted to do, he’d have either gotten arrested, in a car accident, or worse. Injured himself or someone else. Or had a stroke or a heart attack. If I had to do it over again I would.

Title: Now grief
Text:So at this present time my shadow work seems to be on grief, after the realization Thursday that I posted, Friday a very dear friend of mine died, she was more like a mum to me, sad to say and bless my poor mum(no disrespect) 🩷 but me and Kathleen had a journey together that saved our lives, over the last 8 years and she has been my rock, I realized it is hard to grieve around people that don’t know a person, they really don’t seem interested, which is understandable, they don’t share them memories or that love the uniqueness of the friendship. We all suffer so different, I don’t know how I am going to process this one, but I feel I be posting.
I know being around my grandchildren has really helped the past couple of days and having supportive partner and friends in their unique ways 🩷

Title: FIL tested positive, Christmas is cancelled, super depressed/angry
Text:We got a bunch of Metrix readers and tests to try and have Normal ChristmasTM this year with my wife's folks tonight/tomorrow, and my parents on Friday. I got an invalid test this morning and while I was running a second one, my FIL's popped positive (asymptomatic). My wife and I let them know we're no longer coming over, had a talk with my parents that Friday is up in the air, we'll see how the rest of the week shakes out, etc.
I realize intellectually that this is exactly how this was supposed to work, and that this is the exact reason we bought the Metrix tests, and that if we'd just trusted the bridge and gone with rapid tests or symptoms we'd have exposed ourselves. It just sucks, I really had a lot emotionally riding on having a Normal Christmas for the first time in like 5 years.
