Mad World

You've told me about your other food/sweets dreams. The cupcake dream was interesting.

I think what makes these stand out is the name brand packaging and sizing.

I have dreams where I eat meat on occasion and it still tastes like I remember. I always feel a little weirded out when I eat food in dreams because it recalls of pomegranate and Persephone myth.

Also how my brain could recreate food textures and taste is beyond bizarre.

I did try, just now, to find the post I made in this topic I was talking about.

You didn't reply to it then, I know that.


For what it's worth, I'm glad that the process of me resolving my own issues didn't leave any kind of lasting impact on you enough to be able to recall it taking place.

I think it best it stay that way, but knowing me, I'll still indulge in curiosity and eventually succeed in finding the event to recall.


The old self-sabotaging side of me would say, "fuck it, no one cares enough what I think, so what's the point."

The new self-sabotaging side of me says "lol, they don't even care when I'm using them as interpersonal mirrors."


I'm not content with either side, fyi.

:md4:

I work with dates in my memory, so you would have to tell the time around or close, then I could tell you exactly.

This all started in Jan 2012 for me. But never stopped. I am interested in hearing more if you care to share.

You posted a video of Pinball Wizard in this thread shortly after (within a matter of minutes) another did in reply to conversation with me in a thread of that other's - I would guess in 2016-2018 timeframe.

I didn't take it kindly and you remarked to me, "You came to me. Remember that."

When I threw it back was within the last year, mentioning how no one came to you here, what they came to was an environment that may or may not have anything at all to do with you.


You can be honest and just say it wasn't remarkable to you, and wasn't important.

Honestly, it would ring a bell by now if it was to anyone but me.

No..I remember it well. I was use to people suddenly turning on me back then and was dealing with the person you were posting with..that led me to post that song. Don't say his name..

I was upset about for a while..and avoided you, like you asked me.

By 'came to me' in that case..I meant the thread. Not in spirit or entanglement type of way.

That was rough time for me.

I feel like we got past that and don't think about it anymore.

I'm thinking now..maybe there was only the one giant peanut butter cup..and instead we were all suppose to share it.

I mean..who could eat a salad plate sized peanut butter cup..but together we could have all shared the giant one.

Only now, reading your reply, it pops into mind. I did venture to seek for a name to recall when writing before, for a brief moment - intuition said it best to refer to another as simply another. How's that for mercurial entanglement?

Another part of me wishes you had said 'my thread' instead of 'me', but like i said the other day... water under the bridge

Over the past several days, I have found myself thankful to have never succeeded in garnering any sort of following ado with threads of my own creation.

i think this is the only as yet unposted smilie left, the cardinal crossed shithead calico hellbent on grandkittens herself

aka Socks

:dctax:

Thinking a bit further now..perhaps the meaning is as simple as, don't take candy from strangers.

Random thought..Is belief in a Creator God, an automatic acceptance of Determinism?


Defining Theological Determinism

As stated above, theological determinism is the view that God determines every event that occurs in the history of the world. What it means for God to determine an event may need some spelling out. Theological determinism is often associated with Calvinist or Reformed theology, and many proponents of Calvinism put their view in terms of the specificity of God’s decree, the efficaciousness of God’s will, or the extent of God’s providential control.

John Feinberg, for example, describes his theological determinist position as that view that “God’s decree covers and controls all things”, while Paul Helm, another staunch theological determinist of the Calvinist variety, simply says that God’s providence is “extended to all that He has created” .

The problem with such characterizations is that they are subject to multiple interpretations, some of whom would be affirmed by theological indeterminists. For instance, a theological indeterminist might say that God’s providence extends to all events, or that even undetermined events are controlled or decreed by God in the sense that God foresees them and allows them to occur and realizes His purposes through them.

What does Creation have to do with Determining the outcome?

Is belief in the "Founding Fathers" created system of rule, belief in a manifested destiny?

Or, was Individual will the determining factors?

Seems most isms are closed doors.

After watching Drunk History in regard to many of historical/political 'leaders'..showed me that what is presented as history, and what really happened, are entirely different..


Ever since I watched this vid..inspired by one of Xlegic's posts..I've grasped a loose understanding of Determinism..and it kinda rocked my world.

In the quiet moments between..it reminds me to think about it more.

Not sure I understand the context..


I utilize that image for very specific reason.

Can you expound a bit?

Nice.
Various biographies have taught me the same.
Yeah, the show was bought and paid for by...

Haha, being Rocked is good on occasion... A balance check.

That's a very thought provoking video
Thanks.

Heard a saying this morning that made some sense.

"Correlation is Not Causation."

I have no presupposition of what it means to you but the image flashed to mind when I read 'hermaphrodite/dead'

Yes, this clown show has been going on for quite some time.

Simple symbology reflecting more complicated archetypes.

Agree. You're welcome.


Yes!

I have a great meme for that. :)

That makes sense.

I post it usually to indicate possession.

Oh...wait... spooky!

So... You're saying it was a ghost?
lol
Just kiddin'.

Excellent meme usage!

It was a meme I found on Halloween.

But if God knows the future exhaustively, theological determinists argue, then all future events must be determined, directly or indirectly, by God.

The reasoning they offer in support of this argument can be considered in two steps. First is the claim that for a future event e to be known at some time t (say, “in the beginning”), e must be determined at or prior to t. Otherwise, there would be no truth about e to be known at t.

The second claim is that if all future events are determined from the beginning of time, they must ultimately be so by God, since nothing else existed in the beginning to determine them. This is not to say that God’s knowledge is causal, in the sense that simply by knowing something, God is the cause of that thing.

Rather, proponents of this line of reasoning contend that God cannot know a proposition unless it is true; and the proposition that some event will occur cannot be true at some time, unless that event is determined by that time; but then if God knows that some event will occur when nothing but God exists, it must be God Himself who ultimately determines the event’s occurrence.

This is beyond retarded. It's sick. A display of ignorance and group think buoyed by idealism and youth.


Nothing about the Families of 100,000+ dead Americans from CV-19..who didn't get to attend a funeral for their loved one..to see this..EVERYWHERE.

You think those fabric mask do a good God damn?


Keep virtue-signaling yourselves..straight to your graves.

Or your parents grave, or your auntie, or grandma............


Enjoy the 'high' while it lasts..and when the inevitable comes to call..

'I told you so'..will sound so weak, compared to the suffering that is to come.

Not to say there aren't issues..but what a ridiculous time to choose it. But you did anyway.


Don't shoot the message..Or do..No one remember or care..or properly write the history of what occurred.

To the victor goes the story.

While the ceremony seems silly. The shutdown for "covid" was even more so.

Look here idiot..if you're not going to wear the mask right..don't wear it at all. Tired of seeing you idiots wearing useless masks.

Enjoy your coming guilt when the 'mourners' start to drop dead too..or drowning in your fluids.

Old, fat, diabetic? Good luck.

lol

There's enough virtual popcorn for everybody!

I just saw an image of a coffin-carriage being horse drawn down a road as if Royalty has just died. Like you would think of 14th century Kings..

Silly is an understatement.


They shut down too late. Simple cause and effect. Sitting on hands and bound by 'command'.


If these worked, you'd be wearing them - Chernobyl
