Well, wait, that wouldn't necessarily explain the homogeneity directly. Moreso, their capacity to accommodate more people, and the lateral governance required to sustain such an arrangement with
stability (sort of inside-out style that selects for belonging [sameness/homogeneity] and discourages exceptionalism; the opposite of the top-down hierarchy and individualism of the west).

I didn't know how the hell to believe the cocaine on sidewalks story my mom insisted seriously, but apparently she was distressed by it, while my dad was enjoying it somewhat XD. After all it's not
every state of the US we get snow on the sidewalks during the summer, but I really don't know wtf that whole shebang was about.
But I guess I mis-conveyed the "weed for a disability" thing. When I was 4 or so my parents kept having me checked out to find some diagnosis for my abnormal mentality, though nowadays when I see
doctors they say nothing's wrong with me. At any rate, being diagnosed as disabled allowed me to get SSI benefits, a goverment financial income if you're too disabled to work kinda, but it was my
parents' idea to take advantage of that income when I was 4 while my dad was unemployed for being so fat or whatever the hell he did that was so wrong (if not being fat, how about, being fat in front
of your boss?). And he used it to buy all kinds of pot lolXD
The retainer thing pissed me off though, cause I hated that dentist anyway. Just his impatient, bored ego annoyed the shit out of me. Figured he was too high to install equipment into my mouth
properly, so he got busted just before I was finally done wearing the thing, then because it couldn't be maintained by a dentist who knew how the appliance was blueprinted to serve its purpose or
something like that, I had to find another dentist to take that one out and try another one (not another "7" years though, sorry if I said that, I lost that thing recently anyway but was essentially
done wearing it as far as correcting the problem).
(But regardless, I think it's safe to say that my current plan of dentistry has a few holes in it (possibly visible ones), haven't figured out how to get reliable insurance to keep going yet ever
since I graduated.)
When I get 2-4 hours of sleep, then I look stoned as ever XD
Wow, so you started very regularly when you were about 22, but you essentially haven't smoked for 3 years? So much for Erwin's druggy theory. lol, you know, ever since he denied being a cheater to
you guys and had you convinced, I found a recent game of his (last one against a person rated more than 1400, before playing a bunch of <1300 dudes with weak ratings and no suspicion rate) where he
had a suspicion rate XD. Sly fucker, but legend wasn't convinced I guess so idk. Damn, way to get sidetracked. Anyway my brother was all into legalizing marijuana and supporting it and stuff, but
even though he's almost a couple years younger, he's doing that kind of adulthood transitioning stuff that I feel too lazy to think about. eh, shaving for one (small problem there lol), as well as
working in a typical American store job, driving, going to friends' to smoke weed and buy drugs, bah, makes for good lulzy stories when he comes home at least.
omg I can't imagine how huge this text already is
I guess the only example I can think, of that real crash kind of thing, is like the Great Depression, then World War II basically disintegrating that period. Although I guess I wouldn't call that a
"real recovery", because people die when they are killed!! (no jk) but because a bunch of people were perhaps already miserable at slow deaths from other causes in the depression, then more people die
off. Though, it's consistent, at least, so what better. Beats the opposite: zombie invasion from graveyards of the fallen.
godDAMMIT it does not have to be that long
Oh well yeah, not everybody fits on top just because they're determined for it; I guess I just meant like how a lot of people willingly leave themselves in lives with low willpower, low determination,
and of course mayhaps happily and rightfully get away with it. But theoretically, if everybody cared, it'd be quite all the more the capitalist market.
But with all those continental-region examples you gave I think it's clear you knew that idea. Killamanjaro sounds new to me lol, but at least Africans and Asians don't (at least as long as I don't
smoke some snuff).
phew a bit better
Ah well that explains it, though...either I'm experiencing that typical Gemini de-ja-vu, I swear, or you may have mentioned that oscillation and retraction theory before sometime. I certainly do
remember reading about the basic scientific theory from a random book[let]; the boundaries of the universe are centered around the sun -- they may expand up until a climax, until they decline towards
the center, pulling until the radius is zero, then reversing to repeat the cycle. It was one of three basic theories about how the universe began, supposedly mixing the Big Bang, thing. I am not
sure how to picture experiencing time backwards, though...but, I guess you gotta admit, over the hill in either direction is a new experience, as is the reverse of anything inclusive of time XD
...holy--^...
But for that last example, yeah, like valuing one man as 10 times = the value of a woman and executing more female births in China, or however that shit worked, can't remember too well. Even that
sort of exceptional-ism T_T, or at least as it became up to that point. A bit like some ideas behind communism that I read as well, since the top-down hierarchy can be modeled by social capitalism
and competition, while equality and/or dictatorship can be modeled by communism. But that's to the extent which I recalled.
heh, pretty sure I remember a part I missed
"Exactly, on the learning; confidence and comprehension can't be faked or forced (quite the opposite in fact; rigidness precludes a full, free natural development), and you will grow into it in
time."
Also, possibly as part of whatever validity in my diagnosis or whatever, I was always way behind with reading books and novels than other people. Partly because I felt too bored to concentrate but,
naturally wasn't a fast reader unless I was really excited, and felt, well, confident. Naively using dedication as some magical force to force the way through is a terrible example because it's just
trying to 'force confidence', i.e. fake it as you mentioned, and as much mental willpower as I could ever put into it it's mostly just a waste of stress lol. But I've relaxed and can absorb text
faster after the passing of much time from even those sorts of failures; granted that I haven't read a dictionary and don't know some terms, for a few of the subjects you mention I have to go back and
rewind a couple sentences but generally pick it up.
lold @ being fat in front of your boss...I see; it was an indirect connection; disability to ssi to weed money.
From what I hear you can buy dental insurance on your own and it's fairly reasonably priced (compared to medical anyway, which involves absorbing the costs of million dollar operations, tons of costly
procedures procedures, etc)
Pretty much; started drinking and smoking weed in college; once my wife graduated I basically quit smoking weed (for one, my source was in another city and I wasn't going to go out of my way for it -
plus I was already winding down anyway; it had served its purpose and I was more or less on the other side of it). Yah, I think people do get thru things like that, tho it depends on the person I
suppose (people with more addictive personalities/less will power are less apt to). I drank Mt Dew for years, in great quantities, but for the past 5 years or so almost never (once in a blue moon
when I know I have to stay up [eg. drive home] and I know it works)
Well, I'm all for legalising marijuana, but it's not all that important; I don't need it to be legal to smoke it, and if I actually thought it was wrong I wouldn't do it.
You're onto something. Wars and Depressions are essentially a lot of negative pressure that weeds out the weak (especially war). What results is a recovery for society (the system), not necessarily
every individual.
You say "a lot of people willingly leave themselves in lives with low willpower"; somewhat contradictory tho, eh? Willingly not will themselves? And yet, the truth is there; some people just weren't
raised/determined to feel the need to care.

I may have mentioned the theory before; I tend to repeat myself at times (never had a great memory; weed probably didn't help with that).

The 1 child policy in China always fascinated me; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_in_the_People's_Republic_of_China#Gender_disparity
30 million more men than women in 2020; and all first-born (well, only born). Sounds like they're building an army.
I was never all that much into reading either, unless, like you, it was something that engaged me; and then the process was relatively effortless. I didn't read all that much (I'm something of a slow
reader), but what I've read is quality. I let the books do the deciding for me. I used to have a huge shelf full of books. I started them all; those few that held my attention I finished.

Haha, got a million of those fatman references. I'm positive some of the times he got fired were, in fact, due to being fat in front of his boss. Just yesterday when we went shopping for a quality
matress, we were seated in this comfortable bed machine with a persuasive female voice advertising the bed quality. The whole time I kept snickering at the thought of the store manager seating my dad
on the thing, and it splitting in two. :DDD
Sort of like how he broke my mom's computer chair. And farted a whole through the center of his own (and whatever else was in-between).
When mommy was driving me to High School, I kept asking her annoying questions about daddy, until I finally said, "You should divorce him just because he's faaaaaaat :)," and she was trying to hold it
in but cracked up XD "stop it RJ!!"
But yeah very few people are able to accomplish, being so fat, they accidentally knock their boss into a closet, help their boss get back up, then accidentally knock him back in, and not get fired :D
(or at least some sort of twisted promotion)
heh anyway, yeah my mom keeps telling me I can get my own dental insurance; she keeps bringing up the fact that I need to get rid of the current insurance I'm getting from me dad or, something like
that, cause of what a bad proportion for health and medical it offers, somehow it comes in conflict with getting cheaper as well as better deals, but yeah you're right that there should be a way to
add that on
Shucks..can only remember like a couple people that were married in college, well, except from the technical college I went to for a couple semesters I'd see foreign chicks rolling their babies around
and such. That does sound like a sensible experience to go for near into the second half of college occupation to virtually stop smoking once you feel like your environment's becoming more quiet or
relaxed and such; I know it'd occur to me to compare. Though for smoking in general neither of my parents ever stopped, mommy's always sounded more determined but, no matter how much me brother nag
her, just fumes and fumes. :D Even my dad's dad eventually quit smoking and spirited to my dad to not do it, but, heh, guess even two fat people don't convince each other til somebody gets knocked
down. Oh and for some reason sugar and caffeine always make me feel more tired, rather than less, idk why, though ultimately black coffee helps in the long run a couple hours later I guess.
Heh, plus it's not like we've all never "broken the law" before, after all the shit I downloaded and information I hacked into public school databases, there's probably some violation, but they lack
the spyware to know that. Besides, I actually got ticked for the first time, for walking around late at night without a flashlight on a "public roadway", goddammit it was a private property
cul-de-sac, I was an inch from the grass. How about running over a cop without a flashlight? Or smoking a big, fat, weed-stuffed blunt without a flashlight? If I had some weed, I'd smoke my first
one in their eyes, minus a flashlight.
Yeah that's the key in it. I figure, people don't just magically come back from the dead, and zombies would kind of change the depression into societal fear, so, only way was to kill more people in a
war anyway, for consistency as well as some weeding out. There never seems to be a more magical solution to economic poverty.
You say "a lot of people willingly leave themselves in lives with low willpower";
wait, wut...lol I did say that XD
Well, it's the same idea as consistently being inconsistent, inconsistently being consistent, or just being a fatty. :cool: But yeah, having low willpower is not factored by will, even though you
might still be "willing" insofar as allowing it, in some shitty context. I'm sure being fat enough, has enough "will" to "will" a lot of things without even knowing it. :D
XD the memory thing I tend to remember things like 3 months later if I forget them right away. If I were on weed it'd be like, "I don't see your name on it!" *smokes one", tells me um it's right
there dude, I'm like, "Wait what's your name again", and 3 months later recall the name on it, hey wai'!! that name was his, probably stole it off him
But anyway, "big bang" and "big crunch", those were the other two from that book I read, yeah that link pretty much reviews it all.
Me try !!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_in_the_People's_Republic_of_China#Gender_disparity
but if that doesn't do it I don't know what will besides link redirection like that compressed link you use, I used to use HTML escape characters to bypass forum cuss filters and talk shit all the
time, worked great for linking to images and pages that used cuss words in the URL, don't think this forum will filter in the "'" though
anyway wow, good to know that the sex ratio in China wasn't as distant as the impression I got, cause in that case a lot of bad things would happen.. yet, the total population is so great, the
seemingly small coefficient is enough such that there will be about 30 million more men, that's one hell of a bukkake military
Hm, yeah, that's true. As far as I remember at most the beginning chapter of a book was definitely enough of a clue for whether I'd be glued to it later on. I hate that overly narrative shit using a
bunch of names everywhere. I did dig into Hairy Pothead and the Chamberpot of Secrets pretty strongly; I was excited :O !!!
it's no wonder all those Mexican people are pissed at those books lmao
