Regular sized lab mice with giant tumors which have been genetically modified to grow into only the specific parts of whatever animal's cut of meat it is genetically mimicking is required. Like a really tiny mice head alive keeping alive everything, a small part of a much larger tumor which is a porterhouse steak. Mass produced. Get them at the grocery store while they're still alive and fresh. Pop the head and slip the skin right off in a jiffy and, violà: any piece of meat from any animal you desire. Porkchops, salmon, chicken breast, ribs, elephant tongue, monkey meat, baby parakeet meat, etc...

I think the people who make videos propagating anti-science are not true believers. Their community may be full of people unintelligent enough to be true believers, but once they make the effort to try to spread their so-called beliefs, it's only in the vein of accreting more followers. They're on their path to becoming famous, so as they can grift, in their imaginations....I've seen it in real life, the difference between the two. Lived in a garage at some older ladies house and she was a full on flat-earther, thought celebs were all transsexual, believed in reptilians–basically every conspiracy theory under the sun. I caught her counting single digit addition/subtraction problems with her fingers. Anything with two digits required her to ask me if she got it right. Dumb as a box of rock. Got a close friend who I lived with for a year who is a very intelligent human being and very manipulative. No job, survives by being a confidence man. Was always sure to frame or say things so that he could plausible deny believing the things he brings up. "Just asking questions". He knows better. He doesn't make videos (yet) but he sure does share a lot of psuedo-whatever crap on his Facebook since he sobered up a half-a-year ago. I predict that it won't be long before he's splicing up bullshit and posting it everywhere online as possible.

I am literally broke and down to a few slices of bread I would love a hot meal. I literally feel like a POS for asking this but could anyone maybe door dash me a meal? Fast food whatever as long as it's hot. I know I will be okay but I am just hungry Im sorry. If you door dash it I promise I'm discreet and I will even pay you the money back when I finally get ahead. Thank you and if you can't afford to do that please send thoughts and vibes thanks. I'm not asking for money just a door dashed meal. In USA. And please if I give you my info in good faith to get a meal don't dox me is all I ask. I can't really have much more to deal with right now. Thanks! Also please some positive vibes this is my late grandpa's birthday week and it's really messin with me on top of being hungry.

The voter ID bullshit is almost entirely about making it harder for poor people to vote (it's also about being sore losers). It's class warfare. An extra hoop too hard to jump through for a decent enough percentage of the voting populace. A new poll tax. Only being pushed by Republicans because they know it'll be beneficial to them. Republicans, you know, the people who are famous for upholding the legitimacy and integrity of elections.**

People get themselves all frothed up watching the partisan news' outlets. FoxNews, the media arm of the party and currently the state, has its viewers believing the most nonrealities. Dangerous fictions. A big one the network's pundits are pushing right now is a "democrats have been stealing elections, maybe?, just asking questions" narrative. Evidence: vibes.

It's how they operate, mechanically. They get spoon-fed a myriad of clips of "lies" from the other "side" by their tv puppet masters and get all riled up. Exactly like the Two-Minute Hate from 1984. Sniveling cooked up rage aimed precisely where the party wants. Intentionally misconstruing reality just beyond their viewers' ability to notice. Because then it makes it okay for their side to play at the same level they've been told the other side is playing at. Both sides here, to some extent (I assume–I haven't been exposed to what would be considered "left wing cable channel news" in at least a decade and a half, not even CNN).

They've been prepping them for years with numerous unfounded aspersions and apocalyptic consequences. "The only way to catch them lying is if we lie first to find out," they rationalize. "If they can lie, so can we"–a sentiment I've heard a loved one with whom I had watched FoxNews for many, many years, spout on multiple occasions. I'm generalizing my claims based mainly on what I know to be that individual's mindset and character, figuring them to be a paragon of the average FoxNews Republican.

If they can lie, so can we.

If they are going to be racist, so can we.

If they can mess with an election, so can we.

The type of people who'd chase a fella who is running away from them down, grapple the person flat to a chokehold position and finally shake their heads, sigh, and matter-of-factly state in the person's ear from atop him, "You're doing this to yourself." The type who'd believe that, too.

To quote a now-famous random Israeli West Bank settler, explaining why it was kosher for him to take the questioning woman's house and land: "Yes, but if I don't steal it, then somebody else is going to steal it," he said frankly as he shrugged.

Both sides are capable of propagandizing to whatever extreme and of shitting on the constitution and the spirit of the law in order to get done whatever they want to get done. Nobody's got a monopoly on authoritarianism. In the right here and right nows, the Republicans are the ringleaders directing the dog and pony shitshows being peddled the hardest, without abandon or scruples. At the moment.

Lying's never alright.

semi related side note on Iran:

The negotiations taking place since our wannabe decapitation of the Iran government seem to be what I thought they were going to be. Window dressing. Something the war hawks leading our country can point to and say, "Look, we tried!" as they launch a full-scale military invasion. Bad faith negotiations we had no intention of settling. We have no cards other than invasion and threatening to invade. Bombing and threatening are never going to accomplish our stated aim/s(?)

**"What I want to do is this. I just want to find, uh, 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have, because we won the state," the sitting president begged the governor of Georgia on the phone. During the call, Trump falsely suggested that Raffensperger could have committed a criminal offense by refusing to overturn the state's election results, suggesting he may be prosecuted if he doesn't do what the don wants...+crying lol emoji+

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
I was outside with a friend because he suggested we smoke weed using a bowl attached to a plastic bottle, so I agreed. I ended up smoking the entire bowl, and afterward he told me we were only supposed to smoke half each. I replied that it was such a small amount that I didn’t think it would make much difference.
About two minutes into the walk to his house, I suddenly felt an incredibly intense high, as if I had reached the absolute peak of what cannabis could possibly do. When we got to his house, I sat down. We had planned to drink alcohol, but I couldn’t even move. I felt completely drained of all my strength, and my vision started overlapping in loops, as if everything around me was merging into a single object.
He was talking to me, but I couldn’t respond. I was sitting curled up with my head down, unable to move. I felt extremely nauseous and eventually vomited.
As my vision continued to overlap in loops, I noticed a tunnel in front of me, and I felt as though I was being pulled into it, as if I had left my body. I saw triangles, squares, and circles that seemed to make up reality itself, as though everything in existence was built from geometric shapes.
Then I closed my eyes, and everything disappeared.
I found myself in a black void without a body. It felt as though I was floating as pure consciousness in an infinite space. I couldn’t hear anything. I wasn’t breathing. There was no sense of time. I had no memory of who I was. The only thing I could feel was my heart beating beneath my awareness, fast and incredibly hard, and a fear beyond anything words could describe. It was a primal fear, as though I was about to die.
After what felt like hours, I suddenly saw a flash of light. In front of me appeared Jesus Christ on the cross, with a golden light behind Him and a space so vast that it seemed endless. At that moment, I could no longer feel my heart or anything else. I simply knew that I existed. While I was there, I didn’t want to return to reality. I felt completely at peace. I wanted to stay there forever because it felt good, and I somehow knew I could never become bored, only simply exist.
Then I woke up. I started crying, thanked the person who had been with me, and felt as though I had been born again. It was as if I had become human for the very first time, and everything that had existed before was no longer me.
I’ve often wondered what drug I may have actually taken. I never asked him because we lost contact immediately after that experience, but I’m hoping someone here might recognize what it could have been.
I’m still struggling to come to terms with it, even though it happened a year and a half ago. I have this persistent fear that when I die, I’ll return to that darkness and suffer there forever with no possibility of escape.
At the same time, I often think about wanting to return to that light and never come back, even if I would never experience anything new again. It simply felt like the most peaceful place imaginable, where I could exist forever without ever feeling bored.
Thank you for your help.

These days one job isn't enough to earn a living wage.

So people solve this problem by having "side hustles".

They could organize and demand a living wage, but they choose to use that energy for "side hustles"

That's how people are stupid.

If this doesn't enlighten; I won't waste time explaining it. The words are there.

If You Didn't Know Then Now You Know

And here I am changing

Bonkers into soliloquys of self examination

Enjoying

Yes. Only to enjoy.

This smile, I seek,

The wit of no beguile

I seek

To master the words at less absurd times

Your too serious

And I'm navigating

A joke or two in

Don't you get nuts

When your idea catches fire

And someone reminds you

You coined
