We are all fucked and it doesn’t matter how highly you regard yourself, you are dumb, blind, sick, infantile and ultimately will never accomplish the heights of your potential.
You could have, but whether through trauma or ignorance you decided otherwise, and you’ll live out that battle and loss through movies and art and music your entire life, or sublimate said potential through gross personal product, the profligation of ego and pride and a projection you emit, most of the time and most of the day, for a validation from something that doesn’t serve you.

I was one of the first to play minecraft, I got the beta version before the real version came out
At the time I was working construction putting together the beauty boutiques at shoppers drug mart, and I made the beauty botique in Minecraft
All there was was different building blocks in the beta version, there was no gameplay, to this day I dont even know what the gameplay in Minecraft is like because I only played the beta version

That's cool. I've seen footage of those early versions-I think you'd be amazed/shocked at how far it has come since then. Especially playing with friends it can be a fuckin blast.
 I don't play anymore but I can tell once Mojang finally pull their thumb out and release raytracing on console that I will likely get hooked for a while.

I think like this more when I get into a depressive stretch, it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy in a way. "AHA, I KNEW THE WORLD WAS FUCKED! I MAY BE A PIECE OF SHIT BUT AT LEAST I'M RIGHT!" It's a certified hood classic. Unpopluar to me because I don't like to believe it as true, it is something of a perspective thing really. Laying out a concrete 'height to your potential' seems a good way to keep seeing the ways you aren't enough, against the myriad of ways you ARE. Consider your addiction to false comfort. Consider that you may be wrong about other people, since you aren't them. But then again, I am human, potentially the last link between meat and boundless consciousness and am doomed to be dumb, blind, sick and infantile. I do agree with gopher though, volunteering- even in a small capacity- has tremendous ability to break down these bullshit barriers that keep you seeing yourself and the world at large as dumb, blind, sick and infantile...edit: struck out unsolicited "advice" on an opinion. In a thread about opinions.

The wood chips i use are sold as animal bedding, mulch and for smoking fish. I generally use medium chips. If you want a perennial cyans bed dig it 10-12 inches deep so it comes back next year. Then basically every other year throw fresh chips on top. The spent chips act like a mycelium reservoir.
throwing on a log every other year keeps the fire going.
This is not an unpopular opinion though because ppl love my perennial Cyans.

I wanted to grow oysters back in 2011, but I went to every petshop in town and every one only sold pine wood chips
I have a few oak trees on my property, I could cut off a branch, but I'm unsure how to chip it myself

spirit_shadow said: Fortnite is fun
Did you ever play it when it first launched, spirit_shadow? For those who don't know, before Fortnite released the battle royale update and became the gargantuan franchise it is now, it was a REALLY FUN and solid base building/ zombie horde defense game. The aesthetic, gameplay loop, feel and all that was awesome! There were multiple objectives/gametypes it centred around but the gist was largely that you would go around gathering resources and building traps etc then fending off against waves of various enemy types. I don't care for the BR and dropped off it many years ago now. Here's the last ever screeny I grabbed of an event called "Hexylvania" that released around the same time as battle royale, R.I.P.

-EDIT-Oops. My unpopular opinion: the Hoosiers album "The trick to life" is fucking great 
Yeah it's called save the world and it is more fun than BR for sure lol and it's still playable

Before the mass appeal. That sounds like my kind of game. I love building bases and defending it.

One of the best times I’ve ever heard someone having in that game. During a match. Somebody had a sniper bullet fired right in front of them. So he panicked knew he was screwed. And decided to try something.
He started just imitating an NPC. He started just picking up mats. Completely ignoring the fire. This confused the sniper enough that they walked right up to him to see what was going on. Because he had his name floating above his head.
When this guy got about a foot away from him, he just came up real slow with a shotgun. Shot him in the face.😂

UO United kingdom should not have a monarchy. There should be no kings in this modern world.
Down wirh the monarchy! https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2023/5/2/how-much-does-the-british-royal-family-cost-its-complicated
There is almost nothing offered. But they take a lot. Kings also have a propensity to silence descent that threatens their power.

I just feel like he should be the Prime Minister. I don’t feel like you guys need to pay roughly 30% of your taxes to him. That’s all. I love that he champions the environment though that’s awesome.
 I would still move there if I got the chance btw. 😂
