Everything’s got that wet toy sheen. Wow, so realistic. Much specular.

Parasocial relationships are a deeply concerning development.
I agree. I’m not sure how anyone who has a healthy sense of self-respect can develop this sort of relationship, tbh. Even wading into the sometimes toxic peergroup of fandoms is better, because at least you’re communicating back and forth rather than just imbibing this quasi-social runoff that’s not even directed towards you as a person.

I’m sure horniness is a factor, but there is also the aesthetic allure of the adorable. Like I can look at cat pics for hours. Doesn’t mean cats make me hot.

I buy on Bandcamp Fridays, but am suspicious of that platform since they changed owners so often without any input from the community or musicians.
I’m keeping my eye on subvert.fm as a hopefully more democratic option.

Wow what a wretched collection of individuals. These assholes can’t all possibly be in agreement with each other — don’t you wonder if they aren’t given pause by some of the company they’re stacked next to?
Like if I was giving a speech somewhere and Elon Musk, for example, had just delivered his I’d start to suspect I wasn’t on the right side of things, let alone in the best of company…

I’m sensing a pattern.
No but seriously, the psychopathic allure of leadership (Forbes, sry just the first link I found) is leading to civilization scale decisions which are 1) out of sync with what a reasonable person wants, 2) counter to general human flourishing.
Tech leadership wants us to worry about potential ethical “alignment issues” with a theoretical AGI, but we’re already in crisis if those leading us don’t share our basic human values.
PS. I’m not trying to say psychopaths nonghuman. They’re the same species and probably as conscious as I am. I just don’t think they’re an apt choice to decide matters for humans who do have empathy. Imagine a chef with no sense of taste running a restaurant kind of deal.

Thanks, that is genuinely nice to hear. Was there any particular type of meditation that worked for you?

Forgetting is second only to acceptance, yeah. Left to my own devices I’ll just fixate on the past, replaying the scenes and emotions over and over like that one Black Mirror episode.
I wish I didn’t spend so much of my time in the past.

Ah yes, I could see that situation arising, although frankly I’m as surprised to hear of landlords competing for tenants as I would be to hear of them selling their properties for under market value. Not that I’m doubting your honesty–it’s just not been my personal experience.
I’ve heard too many personal anecdotes of landlords trying to hike up rates by seeking spurious evictions, or refusing to install climate control, for tenants who are getting a “good deal” at lower rates. Maybe there are rational markets out there, but I don’t personally hold out much hope for landlords to be reasonable in the face of the dual pressures of fear and greed.

Yeah that’s the vagaries of the housing market and valuation, which is why I said equivalent property.
There’s also no reason you couldn’t sell that house for 400k less. The value is just the value. It’s going to be the same whether you’re renting or paying the bank for the same property.
I also won big by buying prepan, but who’s up or down in the Canadian housing lotto doesn’t change the physics of paying a lord’s mortgage costing more than if you were paying the bank’s mortgage directly.
Nevermind that whoever gets to be lord keeps the equity.
