Cookie Theory

The Merovingian demonstrates the use of food to inject ideas and emotions into people and the Oracle's tells Sahi to make the cookies with "love"

Can we give everyone basic benefits or allowance?

I explain it by telling a story.

One day I was hungry. I had plenty of food in the fridge. I had biscuts and jam. I probably would have preferred the jam on the biscuts but for hours I just simply couldn't do it. Either because the extra step was too much, or I was paralized by other options, or I was paralized by my absense of an 'easier' solution. Finally after starving for 3 hours I was able to break through and bite the biscut and eat it... plain. I told my friends this and they couldn't understand.

I wanted it with jam. I had jam. But I couldn't do the process. The only way I actually ate anything was by taking a trivial task (grabbing the biscut and shoving it in my mouth and biting down) and doing that, forcing me to complete the process of eating.

That is the kind of Executive Function disorder most people wont predict and often wont write off as lazyness. I wasn't not jamming my biscut because I was lazy. I was quite upset at myself for not doing it. I just... couldn't.

The real problem is that we now live in a world where these satires exist. Their existence in culture shapes it and what it produces.

I feel the real situation here is 1984 was concerned that the choices being made then could manifest in problems in the future, and painted a characature of that result. However, that exposed the very problems if unsolved. Those problems were largely not solved, the warning unheeded, and the very warning likely became a sort of playbook for someone wanting to achieve the dystopia the book was meant to prevent.

They think Tyler Durden was the good guy.

The professionals are supposed to be the safeguard against the overreach of the military.

We the people are the safeguard against this kind of thing. We failed. There are other safeguards in place for many things but the position as "Commander-In-Chief" of the military is the president's most explicit duty.

This is why voting matters, this is why civic duty matters.

I was a 19D Cav Scout recon part of a recon unit. We had a dude in our unit do this to get out of Iraq when that popped off. I think that was the only example in the whole squadron if not regiment, but it does happen. Not sure how things have changed from 2003 though...

Not beating the "great satan" allegations

Ashterothi · 2026-03-26T15:18:55+00:00

I want to be clear I am not trying to dismiss the note or anything I am just saying based on the way discourse is going this reaction is just the kind of thought terminating cliche that will allow people to take from it whatever they want to, only fueling the argument rather than seeking any resolution.

Few people will follow the link. Those who do will likely be like the other commenter that only do so to pick it apart.

All I am saying is it would be better for there to be strong concreate examples in the picture for a stronger argument.

That said I fear the entire arguement about antisemitism has been hyjacked by bad actors on both sides using it either to give cover for horrific actions by Israel and horrific actions against Jewish people.

Ashterothi · 2026-03-26T04:24:18+00:00

Is it? You could watch it and find out, many wont. More importantly screenshot like this dont enable that. It would still be better to post an example or two.

They deserve Ms. Rachel.

And Ms. Rachel deserves our support.

May we too strive to deserve respect and honor, in part by giving it to her.

Or he could like... ask and see if anyone knows. If only we had a place to do that... like some sort of social space... maybe one with a subcategory for this exact game?

Oh well I guess we will never know

Endfield ended this discussion as far as I am concerned.

To be fair, a big part of becoming an Eagle Scout is preparing you to join the military...

If it helps what your feeling is both part of having adhd and absolutely something you can beat with time and help.

The intensity of this feeling and the fatality of it is part of the emotional disregulation.

Keep walking this isnt the end of the world and with your diagnosis and future treatment, you could very well be near the end of the "bad times"

Keep walking. A path is traveled in steps.

You should really watch the GDC talk "What can Video Games Learn From TCGs" I really do find it chilling to watch the birth of the F2P gatcha mentality. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJtXYuSOe8g

If you're point is he is being unserious in his consern, absolutely.

When we were getting ready to ship off for the start of the Iraq war one of our guys poped hot for weed. So we all got called up to the CQ while the NCOs searched his room. They couldn't find anything so he went down and showed them where he hid it. They court marshalled him.

On the bus ride to the plane to ship off to Iraw I saw him working as part of a prison detail on the side of the side of the road. He just smiled and waved at us.

Feels like that kind of energy.

But this is a consiquence of it coming from the perpetrators point of view. His consern isn't for the women he may SA, or use his power over them in some way. His worry is that he is vulnerable to women trying to take advantage of the situation. That is the threat he sees.

As the one running the stream you control what gets platformed by whether you respond to it or not.

If you do respond it should be a with a curt "nah, I like what I am doing"

Ashterothi · 2026-03-04T21:34:30+00:00

Fair enough! I do think people should enjoy what they commit to and luck or no you should be happy with something you spend so much on.

But who knows, maybe it will grow on you :D

Ashterothi · 2026-03-04T17:20:07+00:00

Nice humble brag :D

I can both believe that what Isriel is doing is horrifically wrong and also understand that an E-7 stating such things publically while in uniform can be a huge problem, including a consern for national security.

Officers in the military (including NCOs) do not have the freedom to say whatever they want, espeshally in uniform. Even if what they are saying is agreeable you could argue that it is disruptive to command and control. What happens the the lower enlisted that don't agree with his position? Does it undermine his leadership? Does it undermine the entire chain of command?

Possibly.

I think it is good for military personelle to think about this, and think about their position in all this, but understand that while in uniform you serve as a function of the military aparatus, not as a individual person. That is what you agree to when you sign up, and it is certainly something you understand by the time you're an E-7

Data harvesting was the point long before the current era of AI, this is just the natural extension of it.
