The Celestine Prophecy - Wikipedia

It was used in this cult-popular book the same way as in The Secret for a long time before the internet explosion.

I'm aware of this based on exposure to the popular hippyesque convention-of-cults scene known colloquially but imperfectly as "The Rainbow Family".

im just not on it tonight. i give up.

I must need to clean my glasses, I certainly looked at and corrected the spelling of those words twice, lol.

yeah!! this is the type of content i need on my skyline everyday!! :)

crazy nostalgia: high school rejected our graduating class' selection of Sublime's 'Badfish', as our class song. I'm not sure what the admins printed, but it wasn't democratic.

Going down the road, feelin' glad.

hmm. the theory of the inedibly large tortilla.

I almost did an e-card thing that would have said "Will Stancil and Pete Buttigieg are, on a psychic level, the same person. Prove me wrong." I've decided I am not going to but pfft. Yep. Populist automaton. Thats what AI does to politics and it started with feudalism. .. happy Saturday.

'Vote blue no matter who', should be waiting until all the primaries have completed. Until then their normally just being assholes to those of us who actually want consistency in policy concerning human rights.

everyone else was sleeping, was very quiet on the way out

.. hurricanes ..

i think the keywords your looking for are 'alpha channel masking'

Come to think of it I was let out of county jail before I finished reading A Confederacy of Dunces yet, "A confederacy of Beavises" totally registers with me.

I wonder about just how prophetic certain writers including cartoonists, like Mike Judge (Idiocracy,) can be. Seems statistically anomolous.

there was a phrase I heard, 'spiritual-agency', which was meant to express, as it was explained: a person doesn't necessarily get to choose their opportunities, but does get to choose action or non-action given any opportunity. through a sequence of non/choices a person can create opportunity.

Touring around on the free-radio stations of the country .. good night for some thoughtful funky dj work and hip-hop/soul/classicle sort of stuff on KNCE Taos.

"techno-rationalism" as an ideology is like where, 2+2 doesn't = 4 w/out an abacus or at least piles of shells or something

which is very deeply philosophically valid in a very limited scope. but its an imperfect metaphor for things that defy quantity, like, most things, experience wise.

Would such people be willing to work for such people, either now or then? I'd wage not, preferring no wages.

about redistricting: economically drawn cross-sections of the population would remain perpetually fair, right?

for now it would basically represent proportional representation, and probably more culturally accurate than current maps

another guy i talked to had dropped 'cid at a White Snake concert and woke up in the Navy.

one gentleman that I talked to. um by gentleman, i mean we used to buy weed off the guy as 15-16 yr olds. once found him nearly dead w/ a needle sticking out, but his breathing and pulse were strong so ..

hed blacked out on dead tour in the 80s and woke up 6yrs ltr in a ditch with 80k in a backpack

our DARE program warned us about feddy surveilance and that human traffickers were handing out 'jerry bears' and not to take them. im guessing about 10 of the kids had, in 20/20 hindsight.

drug-war being a war on the poor, if you missed the free drug scene, you dodged a bullet.

I'm not sure about crime rate statistics, including drug overdoses.

What about unreported crimes/crimes that people got away with? *ahem, Epstein blah.

Or - has anyone tried to adjust the decline in fetanyl death-by-overdose numbers by the number of prone-to-overdose users which have died?

I appreciate the credible notes on non-reporting now by a certain outlet vs. reporting in the past by the same outlet. That makes a clear demonstration of bias evident.

To many:

The cost of surveilance went down. The awareness of crime increased. Which inflated the narrative but lowered the crime.

@marwilliamson.bsky.social was right about "dark psychic forces," yet in a way that is more sophisticated than it might sound. Think of the word 'psyche'.

I'm, for related reasoning, not sure about attaching the word 'war', to the string of words.

Our impulses for (r)evolution are natural.

Aren't there any photos of this lady that don't look professionally produced? I have a hard time blaming the consistency of photo-direction on any kind of auto-filter, although being far from an expert.

I <3 independent broadcast radio. KPFA rarely disappoints, on now, the East Bay Yesterday programming is going over Bruce Lee's immigration and early adulthood in the Bay Area.

Some use the word 'socialism' in the sense that the government gives you a limited set of choices for your career/lifestyle. Until recently, this would have been definition #1 for me.

When people talk about Democratic Socialism, I don't see that free-market restriction. Just needed regulation.

These things drive me crazy as a pedestrian because their implementation is not state-to-state standardized and the amount of drivers that just blow through them blinking in confusion is definitely not 0.
