Went into my local AT&T store to pay off a device and cancel the associated line. The store was happy to take my money to pay off the device but told me I had to *call* to cancel service because they no longer had the ability to do so.
Tried to cancel the service online..same thing.
Meanwhile, after waiting a half hour on hold and listening to the upsell pitch...I finally was able to get it done.
Companies sure don't make it easy to discontinue service.

Perhaps instead of writing more paragraphs imploring listeners to “donate harder,” they actually look at why people stopped doing so.
However, as the meme goes, that’s none of my business.

If you asked me years ago how I'd be eligible for an IMDB credit, it'd be because I gave enough money to a certain podcast.
Instead, it might be for appearing in this movie. Ok, it's only my before and after photos, but I appeared none the less.

@npub17rr…7wsy there's a marked difference between being part of the divine (which we are) and actually being the divine (which we are not).
And yes, this ties into narcissism beautifully.

@npub17rr…7wsy Many humans also believe that they are separate from nature. It, therefore, makes sense that they also think “God” (if they believe in such) is also separate from nature.
Both of these thoughts are delusional at best. People who believe these thoughts are generally unhappy.

@npub17rr…7wsy good and evil are ultimately value judgements…and because people want to be “good,” they can and often are manipulated by assholes seeking to control others.

You may wonder how I figured out Benadryl might be an issue for me.
I went for a walk yesterday. I track these things on my Apple Watch which shows you your heart rate. I noticed it was at least 10bpm lower than it had been at a similar point in the last walk I did a week ago.
I realized I recently stopped taking Benadryl and wondered if it might have something to do with it. Turns out: it explains that AND my recent insomnia:

In the ongoing sleepless in the South saga, I’ve uncovered something interesting. The drugs I was using to control my allergies may, in fact, be to blame.
Benadryl? Can fuck with your heart. Also….insomnia.
Sudafed? Trouble sleeping is a common side effect. It also shouldn’t be taken if you have high blood pressure.
Since I’ve started taking Apple Cider Vinegar and local honey regularly, I haven’t needed to take this stuff. After the last few weeks, I won’t if I can help it.

@npub17rr…7wsy thankfully the inhabitants of the quaint Southern town I live in are generally wrapped up in the two most important religions in the South (Jesus and Football). As a result, they generally leave me the fuck alone.

2024-07-29 12:57:27

The idea of helping to better the life of others around you appeals to a lot of people. That's what I suspect draws people into socialist/communist ideologies.
The problem is that the majority of people take it to mean "someone else will do all that" and will not put any skin in the game to implement those ideals they allegedly believe in.
They want the benefits without doing the work. And this is how you end up with...

Your beliefs mean nothing if you're not willing to do what it takes to implement them.
Take the "you'll own nothing and be happy" crowd, for instance. Until they're willing to do it themselves (which they're clearly not), I'm not willing to give their theory the time of day.

@npub1ks4…x88p people have the beliefs they do because they were domesticated into them by that thing you call society. What other people think and why is of little concern to me, honestly, which is why I generally don’t engage.

@npub1ks4…x88p Not everyone is capable of rational, reasoned conversation conversation on all topics. Further, there are some topics on which no compromise can be reached.
Why should I bother to engage with these people? More importantly, how does my lack of desire to engage with such individuals affect you in any way, shape, or form?

Your message did nothing but reinforce my belief we're seeing things correctly and we're doing the right thing.
Peace, brother.

I didn't leave No Agenda, it left me. From reading the transcripts for the last episode, it's clear the community that Adam and John are attempting to cultivate now is not the same kind of community I joined back in 2008.
If you feel abandoned and devalued by the so-called Best Podcast in the Universe, we invite you to experience The Lotus Effect! We're not for everyone, I'll admit, but give a try!
At the very least, listen to the first 28 minutes of the last episode: https://lotuseffect.show/121
