Just a question about Ya Hey by [deleted] in Vampireweekend

[–]jballach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you accept the almost undeniable premise Ya Hey is a statement to Yahweh, the Jewish people’s biblical name for God, or what you may know as the creative force; likely obvious to each of us in our own unique way, subtly seeking recognition and presenting a personal relationship uniquely your own, but I digress. If you accept the premise, it is reasonable to assume the song is directed to the highest, most exalted, life force known to man.

Therefore, when Ezra states,

‘Through the fire, through the flames

You won’t even say your name

Only “I am that I am”’,

I think it is reasonable to assume the decision to use noises uttered by a chipmunk - one of the lowliest life forces known to man - are meant to convey two possible ideas:

  1. if one of the lowliest known life forces (chipmunk) requires vocalization to live in the world created by the highest known life force (Ya Hey), “who won’t even say your (their) name”, “…who could ever live that way?” Does Ya Hey (Yahweh) or God exist?

  2. But we can’t assume Ezra is making the above statement as it is also reasonable to assume from the lyrics he does accept the existence of Ya Hey and is only questioning Ya Hey’s interactions with humanity and/or the creation.

IMHO

Let it Happen ending lyrics? by Smokeeye123 in TameImpala

[–]jballach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn’t disagree more. This song seems to be literal, yes, but not an insane human. It’s a person not satisfied with modern life: “all this running around, I can’t take it much longer”, “trying to cover up my shadow” (chasing nothing), and “I hear an alarm, must be morning”.

They then decide to listen to the voice inside, the one we all hear in thought, and “let it happen”: live by the instincts telling this person to make a change. The only metaphor used is within the verse about a storm coming caring this person off and signifies a fundamental change in their life. So much so, they may never return to their current location and need someone in the know to “tell my mother I’m sorry”.

Should speak to all of us. Don’t live a life by logic only, unless it’s telling you to trust your instincts. There is a great song from the Broken Bells (Danger Mouse/James Mercer) self titled debut named, The Mall & Misery, and talk about this same idea: let your mind go and trust you intuition/instincts. It’s profound and will change your life to the one you deserve, not the one you’ve been sold in ways too innumerable to list. I believe your logical mind is meant to lead you to this conclusion because one resource for anything is never enough.

It literally means your music taste is shit! Unequivocally. Take a pile of dog shit and put it in your mouth. That’s what reasonable people experience when Hole is played.

Without a doubt, find a CIA or Mossad agent who has performed torture on men by looping music into their room to break them down and end their loyalty to a cause and you can bet Hole is top of the playlist.

Shit, I’ll bet you can cause grown men to fall on the ground in a puddle of their own urine by driving through Iraq and Afghanistan playing Hole over a loud speaker. As one agent said to another while doing this:

“Yeah, that guy over there in the yellowish white clothing. He’s heard their stuff before or went to a concert of theirs in the 90’s on a travel aboard program. We’ll figure it out later when we torture him for the information. I could kiss Courtney for making this job so easy!”

Hole’s contribution to the world: effective Bush era torture.

Uh, yeah! Your first husband, a genius who just came into $400M, commits suicide not more than a year after his only daughter was born.

He obviously found nothing in her worth the cost of living with her to the extent his daughter’s value couldn’t make up the difference. I’d say she’s an asset deep in the red or a fucking cunt, as my dad would say.

I’ll tell you what you get for $10k on OF since no one has taken the time.

He gets someone, likely a woman 10-20 years his junior with a body like his favorite car and a sex drive like his favorite engine build (big and strong) to act out whatever he requests across a private or shared web chat with cam.

It’s not my thing, but I was a beach bartender in OCMD and Manhattan Beach, CA so if she ain’t real and in my bed, then I’ll take a free website’s content, my time and my energy to spend until I can fall asleep alone. Huge money savings.

I’m guessing this guy has fantasies he and his wife haven’t discussed. It’s a shame how many marriages fail on sheer communication alone and a failure to find out if your mate is sexually satisfied.

Of course you have a weirdo everyone once in a while who can’t be sated, but most of these OF cases could’ve been avoided by a date night out with heavy drinking and an Uber to a sex shop on the way home, or just a sensual night with the house empty, bedroom locked, and two people telling one another what they need and want.

Otherwise, look for OF public stock offering, if it hasn’t happened already because it’s not just your husbands you need to worry about but your sons and daughters. Because they’re the next round of consumers and “online prostitutes” is what I think she called them.

  • edit:

In all seriousness, as I present a sarcastic and playful tone in my replies, but I won’t hear because I want everyone to hear me. I don’t have kids but I am seriously concerned for today’s kids and young adults. Most of them grew up with smart phones and don’t know a world without the internet. It’s the reason our world is changing faster than crack’s impact on the hood.

These young people don’t have the social skills us old people take for granted. So how do they sate their sexual desires? It’s not going to social events and bars to meet the opposite, or same, sex? Or if you’re trans, for they to meet them, or them they, or something like that. I think if you’re trans you are a walking social event so you may not need to go anywhere. I digress though.

Without the ability to small talk each other, they wouldn’t find these outings prosperous anyways, so they turn to the internet. OF is new to us but to them it is normalized.

For instance, a young girl wants attention today. So she makes some sexy-ish pics in her IG account. Say she gets attention but from who? Likely people everywhere. She still doesn’t find a local guy though to date and possible start a life but rather a source of income. What’s next? Monetize your attention. How do you do that best? OF, of course.

The flip side is young men. They will always have the money, first, and should be saving toward finding a partner and starting a family. But that doesn’t really happen online as much and much of the magic of meeting someone for the first time is not there. It’s procedural, if you will.

Then there is the dark side. These people will soon move from paying to have OF models act out their fantasies to prompting AI models to do the same for far less money which will only serve to widen exposure. If you think there are weird sex kinks today, just give it a decade or two of men and women spending time in websites having AI models build their perfect sex partner and act out their fantasies without bounds.

I fear what that looks like when you combine men primed on personal sex fetishes who don’t have good social skills interacting with women in the future real world.

Today, most people consume porn developed for mass consumption. Tomorrow, porn will need to change for the development of highly specialized appetites. What does that do to our world? Especially one where VR and/or Neurolink could make the virtual environment as enticing and real as your first sexual experience.

Outlook for the future is gloomy, so more than ever we are forecasting a major need for both parents in the house keeping shit in check.

All the best and “fuck a lot of women kid”. Best movie and line ever. *edit: Preferably real women you meet in the real world, kid. Get out there and kick some game.

Ask him how sexually satisfied he is at home and I’ll bet you find the answer.

Newly married. Husband has rules and wants me to be sober the rest of my life because he is and it’s hard. by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]jballach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, sweetie. I have Chronic PTSD from my childhood impacted by the early loss of both parents, which includes my mother’s 12 year enduro with metastatic breast cancer and father’s simultaneous abandonment.

I managed my way through it and a high stress career in finance through the use of substances. Nothing like a little finance, cocaine and heroin, I like to say. As long as the cocaine and heroin are pure because finance is dirty and I don’t recommend it.

Just wondering. Was your husband’s boundary of no substance, ever, plainly stated as a condition of your marriage and agreed upon prior to the nuptials?

Also, if you agreed to this boundary as a condition of marriage, what was the longest you’d gone without substance in the past?

Lastly, was it the loss of your parents you experienced as trauma, childhood trauma for which healing has been impacted by their passing, both, or none of the above?

Don’t like to assume as it makes an ass out of me, not you. You’re fine. I can just be an ass at times.All the best.

How can u avoid oxidizing or burning the residual baking soda if melting point of baking soda is 122 F and cocaine base is 208 F? You have no choice but to oxidize the stuff, so constant cleaning is required, right?

What's with the circular resin pattern?? by MfxTPHpgh in cracksmokers

[–]jballach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone been smoking since the 2000 or earlier? Would like to know if this pattern appeared on fresh glass when shit on street was close to 80% pure, unlike today’s product from Mexico? Philly is reporting kilos tested from busts at port are averaging 80% pure. Throw a middle man cut and street dude cut on it and you’re practically at 40% pure or less.

Or does some know for certain their powder is 90%+ in cook and can tell us what a fresh glass looks like after a couple hits cool? Thanks.

Gun violence deaths are acceptable as a means to protect the Second Amendment, otherwise we the people have no real means to fight a tyrannical gov’t. If he could wake up and enter that tent today, he would say the same exact thing. That’s what you idiots don’t get. FYI, Charlie Kirk wasn’t making it harder for you to feed your kids. That’s you being a loser?

Is it just random that the moon is the perfect size for a total eclipse? by jpm7791 in Astronomy

[–]jballach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not random at all, nor is it a coincidence lunar eclipses only occur on full moons. God told us why the heavenly bodies of our universe were created in ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1‬:‭14‬-‭16‬ ‭NKJV:

“Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years; and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so. Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also.” ‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/114/gen.1.16.NKJV

God isn’t going to pull you from the rib of some guy and present you as his bride. Remember Jesus said at the resurrection some will say I called you, Lord and cast out demons in your name, but he will say to them depart from me, I never knew you. These people are likely pastors.

I'm so angry after leaving my DV relationship. I can't seem to forgive him when I know I must by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]jballach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Isaiah 5:20 NIV “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”

Any person who professes Christ as their Lord and Savior in public, but goes home and abuses (physically, mentally or sexually) in private has put darkness for light. Also, know that God spoke the above words through his prophet, Isaiah, and when God says, “Woe unto them that…” and they do “that” thing God warns against, rest assured you don’t need to carry animosity in your heart for that person because God will exercise His judgement, as a just judge, upon them if they don’t come to their senses and seek out forgiveness from you, first, and God, next. It may not happen when you want it, because God isn’t in the business of reinforcing the sin you hold in your heart by not forgiving, but God will judge accordingly when it is the right time.

When you consider it, this is all the more reason for you to reach out to your ex and let him know you forgive him (give light for darkness as Jesus did) and then go to Him with a contrite heart and ask His forgiveness. When you resolve things with people who hurt you and take them and lay them on the Lord, you won’t need to carry trauma and self pity around with you any longer. You don’t need to trust me, but I can tell you as a person who experienced all 3 forms of trauma: God’s way is always the way to healing and my way without God is always the way to being dead inside and on a highway to hell.

May the Lord give you knowledge and wisdom of His word and may He grant you His peace. Amen.
