Thoughts on this?

The video is about an hour long.

Honestly, really raises questions about a philosophy of life and how to systematize it.

This is a presentation by the Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution.

You can listen to it while you're doing other things but the slides are interesting to me.

Oh God, make it stop.

Listen to the first 10 or 15 minutes. Bonus points if you get to 20.

It's bad.

Anyway, I'll stop the doomscrolling behavior. How are you all?

I have $50 that I can spend on Steam through a gift card, but I’m trying to wait for a sale for the games I want.

Currently, I might get Warno or Helldivers 2 or RuneScape Dragonwilds.

RuneScape 3 is an MMO that I grew up with and love, though I played OSRS originally and still do occasionally.

Warno might be interesting, but maybe too anti-Soviet or anti-communist? I have a friend playing it though and it seems like a milsim or tactical shooter of some sort.

And Helldivers 2 has several of my friends playing it.

I'm willing to play any of these games with someone since they're all multiplayer in one way or another.

I have other money that I'm saving up on so I likely won't dip into that.

I have a Steam Deck, a good laptop (but not good enough, I should say, and not as good as my Steam Deck) and a PS5, which I won't use in this case.

I also have Fallout 76 but I might rest on that before going back to it. In the meantime, I want one more multiplayer game that "everyone else" is playing. Fallout 76 just isn't that right now. But if you all want, we can play it; same with the other three games mentioned before.

What's a way to get SSDI (I think that's the acronym)?

I thought I had it. I put in 10 disabilities which I had and I wasn't lying about any of them. I would honestly never commit fraud, despite my circumstances, and never intend to.

But they said that I "didn't work enough hours."

I'm not sure how to make it go to my credit (Social Security credits, that is).

How many jobs or hours should you work?

I can also give you all the full message through a DM, perhaps.

I've worked, I think, eight jobs in total in the last decade with one year that I wasn't working (during the pandemic). Frankly, I could use the money; I'm trying to get into nursing school, though am getting my CNA first. And I need a car now. I have a Bachelor's degree in Communications, but want to change my career path for the time being.

To be fair, I didn't put all my work experience and there's more that I could put.

Is there a way to keep track of all the credits you have? Or "input" them or however you're supposed to do factor them into the system?

Also, assuming you get disability assistance from Social Security Administration, what's a good way to phrase or say certain things in the application process?

Do help out if you can. Thanks!

There may be $10,000 to every mistake one makes when applying for Social Security, from my understanding of the situation.

Trying to notice schemas within my own mind and even relationships, to a point.

I'm also thinking of doing Internal Family Systems with my new therapist.

So far, we've done CBT techniques and the like.

What do you recommend in terms of healing from trauma?

I'm on Zoloft (which is replacing Lexapro and is directly responsible for dealing with trauma or PTSD or C-PTSD) and it's done away with my traumatic flashbacks (which were daily).

Hope you all are doing well, comrades!

"Currently, more than 95% of the country’s power generation comes from fossil fuels, while only 5% comes from renewable sources. Cuba aims to generate up to 25% of its electric energy from renewable sources over the next five years. By 2050, the aim is to cover the entire energy matrix with electricity generation based on renewable energy sources."

Frankly, this is their Achilles' heel

Yes, but then we'd never hear the end of "Chinese influence" on the news

I don't care if they're pro-Russian or not and don't expect them to be.

They're what the Georgian people chose and democracy is under threat in Georgia.

Well, I'm for a democracy, just not Western liberal democracy.

It's bourgeois democracy at best and fascism at worst.

Translated into English through Google:


The video app TikTok is full of pictures of young Russians who tell of their lives. Freshly renovated apartment blocks with kindergartens, full supermarkets and busy streets design an image of comfortable normality.

The influencers are happy to show how local companies have replaced McDonald’s and Coca-Cola with at least equivalent offers. The subliminal message of the propaganda videos: Western sanctions cannot harm Russia.

A platform of several economic research institutes funded by the Federal Ministry of Economics now supports this message with data. It proves how the Russian economy is booming in the midst of Ukraine war.

While China, India, and Turkey have not quite offset the elimination of foreign trade with Europe, rising domestic demand is leading to a real job miracle. The Federal Government could make the Federal Government envious of upgrades-driven economic growth and low public debt.

The European hope from the first day after the attack on the neighbouring country to force Russia quickly to return with economic sanctions has not been fulfilled. The Russian citizens do not rebel simply because they lack Nescafé and Heineken. Payments and banks have not collapsed. The Russian state can easily pay pensions, wages and benefits.

This shows that in a multipolar world, the West has lost global economic power. Russia is finding new trading partners – also for oil and gas, the foreign exchange providers. Unlike other rogue states, the country has a historically grown full-fledged arms industry. Display

And Putin has even succeeded in stabilising the fluctuating order and eliminating opponents such as mercenary leaders forefying Prigozhin.

This isn't news.

We know this.

(Okay, fine, it's news and proof too, in case we need it in an argument, but I expected this, tbh.)
