Oh no.
  • The low light of the room and the human brain's tendency to use short cuts makes your eyes perceive a distorted reflection of yourself after you stare at the reflection for a while.

    If you're on acid, maybe.

    What is something you can’t have just one of?
  • If you're serious about it, the first thing to do is change your rhetoric.
    Don’t say "I need to quit drinking" or "I should quit smoking" or "I'd love to lose weight".
    Instead say "I am quitting".
    When you use words like "need to" or "should" or "ought to", you set your mind to think that the conditions required for you to quit aren't met yet, that there is some extra step for you to take before you can quit. When in actuality there isn't anything stopping you but yourself.
    Giving up is hard sometimes, but it is a lot easier when you genuinely set your mind to it and to do so adopting the right rhetoric is a fundamental key for it.
    Haven't had a drink in years, one of the factors is because I genuinely put my mindset in imperative mode rather than using conditional.

    It’s time for Americans to embrace small cars
  • But, people still do need larger vehicles for various tasks.

    If those tasks aren't daily occurrences, get a fucking rental.
    You don't need a monster truck in your driveway because one day you might have to move a couch or a fridge.
    If cities weren't designed around cars, you wouldn't need them to go to the shops.
    If zoning laws weren't so fucking retarded you could have stores that weren't forced to have ridiculous parking spaces next to them and could have actual city centers.
    Cars are an aberration, we shouldn't have to rely on them to live.

  • Because cops are cracking skulls, gouging eyes and blowing hands when they aren't straight up murdering someone who doesn't comply with them.

    New Covid wave has begun and masks should be worn again, scientists warn
  • I've stopped giving handshakes to almost anyone, favouring the ol' terrorist fist jab instead. I get awkward reactions sometimes but some people seem to get why. Masking up again is gonna be fun, can't wait to hear the vaxxosckeptics tell me all about how everything is a hoax again.
