a few people sent this to me, so im gonna break down the symbols and motifs on this skull rn (taking a break from work anyway).
might get a few things wrong plus some things have multiple interpretations so, small caveat. the larger caveat being that i, for a variety of reasons, do not actually endorse buddhism as a spiritual path. dont really want to get into why as of this moment but felt i should [...]
say that as i do not want to lead anyone astray. this is purely an artistic thing. in my many wanderings i actually studied briefly with a tibetan painting master, whose apartment was full of crushed up gems and minerals (for painting).

im wondering how far the “video games have literally no effect on you” crowd is willing to take it into virtual reality. when little kids are putting magazines into realistic guns and shooting other people in the head in VR with realistic blood will they still not see it?
someone better tell raytheon and the military that video games have no effect on you
this VR simulator called VIRTSIM developed by raytheon for training military and emergency response personnel is extremely similar to VR shooting games that are or will be on the market (pavlov), the tech is just much better, obviously, for now.

really cannot shake the feeling that there is something evil about virtual reality stuff. it kind of reminds me of the feeling when i was a kid and i knew something was “bad” but couldnt pinpoint why, just sets off alarm bells deep in my soul whenever i see people doing it
tfw my friend is showing me videos of a virtual reality game where kids are loling and shooting each other in the head and soon this will be normal
oh they called the game pavlov

huh so they named it after that famous psychological study thats all about conditioning creatures to have certain responses to external stimuli

haha thats interesting

i'm not very good at SSBU, but i am reasonably good at taxes, so this is my tier list
So, let's talk about pets. As mentioned in the list, pets are not dependents. However, if a Pokemon could be considered a service animal, then expenses relating to them COULD BE qualifying medical expenses. So, let's ask another question:
could Pokemon be seen as business expenses? For ex, a security dog could be seen as a valid, ordinary & necessary deductible expense. BUT most Pokemon are employed in the equivalent of dogfighting, which is an illegal activity.

One of the highlights of 2018 was the chance that we had to visit a few amazing places in the UK to talk about The Colour of Time and to see you all in person.
Our beautiful pop-up shop at @WaterstonesPicc was a huge hit, and represented an experience that I will never forget.
And overall, this is a year that I’ll never forget. (Photo taken in @AuschwitzMuseum)

Imagine a person so filled with hatred that they would listen to @CakeWatchCast solely to find something to fill a vile message to a fellow human with.

Now imagine a govt telling them they are winners & in the right, and that the people they are abusing are the losers & wrong.
Now imagine a population where few people care enough to speak up. That would rather not stick their head above the parapet. That is just glad it’s not them getting the abuse, and will stay silent as long as that’s the case.
Now go on to think about a National broadcast media regulated by statute, that gives a platform constantly to those that deliberately spread this message.

One of the hardest things to do on Earth is relocating.
Even if it means moving from one neighbourhood to another or city to city, it is hard. Imagine moving from an entire culture to another as you move from country to country?
The first thing that hits badly you is the food.
When I first started school in England, the hardest thing to adjust to was the food. IT was so bland!! I had to put pepper into everything and it was not the same. One day, I got fed up, went to Tesco, bought stuff and made my own Nigerian stew. It was still not the same.
I had to run away from Sheffield every weekend to Manchester because my Bestman and his wife lived there and had Nigerian food. Having the food you are used to all around you is something that you take for granted until you now have to drive two hours to and fro to get it.

One thing I learned about existing online while being a [queer and fat] highly visible BW:

Some folx just wanna fight. That's really it. Some folx wanna fight and they see you as the perfect punching bag.
Case in point: I tweeted about having friends check you when you're showing your ass online.

SEVERAL people were committed to missing my point and acting like I was advocating for violence 🤣
Next case in point:

@ReignOfApril tweeted about how Trans rep is part of the #OscarsSoWhite conversation & should be taken just as seriously & certain Trans folx (guess that color) spun it as her centering herself & got mad when she said she would step back...like they asked.

Imagine yourself doing something completely different with your life.
Not a move from one semi-cushy job to another. I mean dramatic change.
A complete upheaval of your life that would test you to your core.
I’m in such a testing phase.
Caveat: This THREAD may just make you think
I was a successful construction litigator and married.
By any outside metric, I had it all:
2 amazing boys
partner in a successful firm
awesome house
plenty of money
driving a black Lexus LS430 (that I still miss on certain days)
great social life
and a younger pretty blonde wife
On the career side, I was burnt. Toast.
I hit a wall so hard, on some days I could barely function.
Picture a horrible, flaming train crash. That was my headspace.
A bad place to be when you have to buckle your chinstrap and slug it out nearly every day in a courtroom.
