gonna make a thread about something that may seem profoundly strange and potentially kind of deranged by outsiders who dont get it but i think thats kind of why we're all here, before i head into work today (good morning)
so my wife is pregnant, and has gotten into this interesting world online. its somewhat difficult to describe. to be honest, if you imagine the general masculine sphere here, but its feminine, and instead of weird diets and weightlifting its giving birth, thats what its like.
thats a solid parallel because it has all the same features of getting "redpilled" about certain topics and "the truth" about XYZ and it has to do with the natural nature of the gender but its all centered around pregnancy and being a woman instead of being a man, basically.
ok. ur making tea in bags? no. using those strainer balls? no. listen. the tea leaves cant expand in there. no sensory experience. stop. ur getting a big ceramic tea pot. u put the leaves right in there. u can see them. notice them change. u hear them. its gonna change ur life.
im not kidding
ur gonna be standing in your kitchen. its 5:30 am. its dark. youre going to open up a little tin and drop 12 small leafy spheres into the teapot. they will make a soft clinking sound. when u pour the water in, the scent of jasmine will envelop u. u will see, that this is correct.
one of my favorite word maneuvers that people are programmed to deploy is this one: saying something should or shouldnt happen (whether u agree or not) is an opinion. obviously thats what it is. but people use this flip of asserting that something is not what it is, strategically
i think this is an intuitive response coupled with mimicking what they see other people doing. it serves a perfect function so, in a sense its like an evolutionary behavior that is advantageous and thus is spontaneously adopted, presumably often without realizing it.
it allows the person to stay put in terms of ideology or conversation while clearly contradicting themselves. if you notice it people use it all the time. i suppose the other obvious example would be free speech, “this isnt free speech, its XYZ”. strategic semantic faux ontology.
your brain isnt actually the “seat” of your consciousness / spirit. its your heart. what u think of ur brain doing, ur heart does. breaking news from basically every religion ever for thousands and thousands of years
not getting the same rush by playing devils advocate for philosophical and theological issues. need a new hit. asking the 16 year old female cashier how she really uh, knows my change is 26 cents. come on. whats the basis for you knowing that. just tell me. u can keep the quarter
whose authority allows you to ban me from kroger. whats the chain of command. do you guys have a canonized set of documents detailing who has this authority and on what basis. can i look through it and ask you about it. are there kroger ecumenical councils. ill never come back.
when kroger was established was there a founding charter or was it more like a revelation. is it a monarchy. when u say the manager has the authority to refuse service for any reason are you appealing to an oral tradition. just let me find one conflict in the documents. i need it
