yeah with zombie there’s less people and disaster to unite around (maybe?). with an economic collapse people aren’t dying they’re just getting hungrier and angrier, and there isn’t necessarily a universal threat to rally behind. could just be “I can secure your base level needs” and “they are a threat to us and if they don’t take them out, they will take us out”

ill tell you this, the amount of data would require for anyone accept a statement or idea as fact is related to their emotional assessment of the idea. See it all the time with trump supporters that think that trump is actually fighting to cut tax on overtime pay simple because he said it on the trail and there no evidence (and they have no evidence) that is happening, on the other hand it would take an infinite amount of evidence that trump took bribes even as he openly appointed Elon after spending millions of dollars.

so its weird that you have to propagandize the facts just to get people anywhere near a reasonable level of skeptism.

but for me I just say anything is valid unless I know how its wrong, which is limbo of acceptance then afterwards it can become a scoreboard where for and against. maybe a source doesn’t 100% line up with a statement, hell even video/audio evidence can be incongruent with a statement (as in its similar to what’s said but doesn’t back up a statement). I think the claim that Floyd overdosed but the video doesn’t show a overdose from opioids, so you’d have to rule out overdose simple because video doesn’t match the description of an overdose.

it wouldn’t take much, generally new information has to be consistent with what I know. the hard part is understanding the new information. no one is randomly disprove gravity or that things have mass, but someone can prove to me how a myth is meant to be interpreted for the intended audience

Hmm I never thought about that. In the BLM protest I was at we blocked traffic until we dispersed and the police diverted traffic. I’d say kicking the gas canisters are fun and gave me a sense of freedom

Protestors can be nice and they’ll make small talk about the protest. I could hear the anxiety in people’s voices when they talked to trump supporters and voice their decent of trump and my awkward ass gives them a thumbs up of approval.

I wasn’t even that outgoing at these events, but it took my 10-20 minutes to get over the jitters

That would be complicated. I haven’t actually been to a concert in a while, but I know with protest you can hang back like you won’t see the action but you avoid the cluster of people. Sometimes the crowd of people is like 1-2 blocks big

I may or may not be related to John Brown. The guy who tried to free the slaves before the civil war in America.

I definitely did have shakes early on in the kings protest, it really was like climbing to the peak of a roller coaster, but payoff is way different. You definitely have to react to things you can not expect.

I did enjoy going up to trump supporters with my Palestine flag and trying to empathize with him not being part of a popular movement

I see you meant trample not sample. I was kicked off reddit for a reason lemme really likes.

I have “love your enemies” rattling in my brain for the past few days and I have comparing it to “you have no enemies”. They almost seem mutually exclusive but make you act very similarly. I get how trampling on people makes people like me feel better that it’s toxic and well if people to trample on me I’d accept it and let them know I understand why they’re doing it.

I can accept that people drink alcohol, do drugs, and prey on those they precieve weaker than them. I do see people get mad at other people drinking and doing drugs with real passion behind it. it’s weird to say it’s really a perspective thing.

My best advice is to try to understand them. If they’re truly angry assholes they can’t explain and they’ll get frustrated at their inability to articulate and precieve your question as a form of (self projected) hostility, if they are trying to communicate to you they’ll make an attempt to say why they’re angry. I like to think that if you matured enough you’ll just say what you don’t like and why you don’t like it.

This could be nice or a mild nuisance but I left a bag of edibles on the beach for someone to find. Did it to make quiting edible easier

Depends how consistently I’ve been going. Early on I’ll pick majority muscles like bi/triceps, glutes, pecs, or abs to break them into work out routine. Like I’ll pick 3 and wear them out because that easy to do early on. As conditioning kicks in over the weeks then I can pick 2 category for a day like chest/abs, arms/legs, shoulders/back, etc so that more specific muscles get trained.

When I was working out regularly I’ll say that home workouts are great. I didn’t have the equipment or weights at the gym but dumbbells can be used to target very specific muscles that won’t get in the way of next two workouts days

there has to be a big ass asterisk on his post. generally things like the civil rights movement got partially undone and then success can be nebulous since even in a movement there are subset of goals that might not have been achieved

get frozen and end up in some hell-scape like idiocracy

lol its basically futurama from fry’s perspective or where fry, bender, and the professor make a time machine that only goes foward

monkey’s paw: its a slave planet where all that inhabitants are forced to work and all computers are repurposed to generate AI images

yeah I see that. lube would get a big need, but my car runs out of gas several times before I need an oil change and retail stores do carry oil. ironically canola oil and vegetable oil can be used as motor oil. when you run out of oil then things start to grind to a stop.

but machinery would become too costly to maintain and people would stop using it. if a valve broke on a engine I doubt people in the post apocalypses would repair it. unless it was part of a town where people would have both the need and expertise to fix it. there would be easier to maintain alternative of machines that wouldn’t require lube, filters, replacing of metal parts.

after a century an internal combustion engine would become unusable scrape

that is kinda the appeal that its new and unknown; its something novel to explore. losing people you know know is a big price, you could hope that someone comes with you into the cyrochamber

i see so you’d live in best of times as much as possible instead of skipping to the great reset. i dont think we can get set back that far simple because of GMO of plants and global trade. also refined metals would still exist. a car engine can rust or break but the engine can be melted into farm equipment. so we are safe from bronze age. id say we would be a cross between iron age with modern tech

thats why im assuming the science works without any drawbacks. i was thinking that would cool to see cultural slide show, but at some point you’d probably not get reference and you would be able to tell what’s sci fi or what product placement. there would be words that start popping up that you wouldn’t know.

the period pieces of the future will probably be fun like how would they depict the 2020s and 2010s

ironically i thought that inspired this would you rather was making IP for Disney and having Disney cryogenically freeze you just to thaw you out to prove your alive so keep the copywrite out of public domain. of course disney would pay for your stasis

Hmmm would be weird to enter a new world with nobody you know and at best descendants (or Young family members that remember you) that care about you. Yeah I guess if you did enter the freezing chamber you’d be giving up anything that made you happy now

monkeys paw: USD is no longer used
