If something happens, it's better to have one foot ready in case there's broken glass on the floor than to have two bloody socks.

Might seem generic, so feel free to reject or criticize my opinion.

You do something. Carpentry, pottery, gardening, birdwatching, jogging in the park, fishing, fix electronics etc and so on. If it's something you like or think you could do it, start doing it.

And then you ask questions when you're stumped, you help others when they're stuck and you trade barbs about it with one another. The point is that you don't go out seeking connections, but you go out because what you do finds connections for you.

So find something you like doing. I can assure you there are others who like doing that as well. You'll have something in common. And that's the start of your connections.

Better ventilation? 🤷

Imagine giving someone else full access to your entire finances, which makes sense to rich people as i presume they never handle their own finances.

Can't stop selfish parasitic bastards from spontaneously occuring as they are a natural form of evolution. And constant vigilance is difficult since it also serves as an impetus to find, exploit and create weaknesses.

I guess instilling a near constant sense of activism throughout the generations would be the path forward, but I don't know... Everything has a loophole, just needs people willing to exploit it...

In a better world, citizens would be entitled to sieze their utilities when they're no longer provided.

This is why boycotting fails for real issues, but succeeds for the dumbest imaginable.

What a coincidence! My farts are lethal as well!

You're still thinking within reason. Megalomania doesn't.

It's not about money, but power. "The world bent its knee at our word." Simple as that. People can be and are that crazy.

Are you still you or is the bed AI taking over?

Has you tried coffee? Or other types of more natural stimulants? And I mean in copious amounts. Some people have said it helps them stay on one thing at a time.

I'm the f adding type, so from my pov, it's usually the second type unless the person distinguishes themselves as an asshat.

What's its name? I've seen some before, but rarely. Once every few years or so. Thanks

Edit: the likeliest candidate is an Old House Borer without antennae.
