Some nights i just spiral into these weird pseudo panic attacks thinking about all the shitty things that happen in this world. My brain decides to go into excruciating detail about the fresh exciting ways people can reach new heights of suffering and like a trainwreck i just cant seem to look away no matter how hard i try

A sometimes fear of mine is that by conceptualizing worse and worse states of mind you slowly slip into them.

It's hard to articulate. Imagine the worst you've ever felt. Now try to imagine feeling even worse then that.
Now imagine what it would feel like to feel like that all the time.
Now try not to feel like that.

We have a really powerful and subtle way of bending our perceptions of reality in slight ways that are just far enough out of our control that there's a danger to that. Imagining what it would be like if everything you ever ate tasted like actual shit because your brain just interpreted it that way. And then suddenly getting stuck like that.

It's hard to articulate fully, and probably just sounds like some maybe edgy or low-tier introspective teenager shit but after too many nights of bad trips or drinking yourself out of your own mind you're put face to face with the reality that your own mind isn't under your own control and a vivid imagination or powerful thought process is actually more inclined to slip away from you and go nuts than it is to stay reigned in.

I guess it is something like that. Can't stop it. Just fucking sucks. Babies starve to death in the arms of thier crying mothers and a thousand children literally diarrhea themselves to death every single day and here I sit getting drunk and playing video games and even knowing all this I am just too apathetic to do a god damn thing about any of it

I find it easier to put it into perspective. It doesn't affect me directly or even indirectly, therefore I cold heartedly ignore it. Although I may have a concerning lack of emotional attachment, an inability to feel awestruck or surprised and normally drained of enthusiasm, maybe due to a lot of bullying by students and teachers. I guess I feel too small to care, even about myself unless it's under threat of pain or health excluding eating veggies, I hate veggies, they taste horrible. Carrots? Far too pungent and I can rarely stomach much of the ones that are slightly bland. Lettuce? Wastes the flavour of anything it's eaten with. Tomatoes? Rancid. Cauliflower? Yeuch. I don't have many fruits and veggies I enjoy. I even tried switching to white rice with its case still on and it's just horrible to eat. I don't want to not eat a varied diet but nature makes it hard to enjoy everything that has a horrid taste, texture or compatibility to my other foods. I guess I haven't tried much at all but it's hard to want to when 90% of what your mum is offering to put on your plate is what you know you hate and you're not the one buying from the supermarket or big into cooking your own meals.

Throw your veg in a stew pot along with beef chunks, then everything tastes of beef.

This is actually a thing that happens to people. Rarely, used to happen much more often.
It's how the old curse of "May all the food you eat turn to ash in your mouth" works even. If you truly and honestly believe you are cursed into never tasting anything but ashes, then your brain will make it happen.

The good news, it's easy enough to fix, and in fact most religions have ways to 'lift curses' which is basically fixing that sort of problem. Prayer, meditation, tribal rituals, a concoction of nice smelling herbs and everything else like it will also set your brain back on the right track if you truly believe it will. (Note that some things also double up for other uses. It's a complicated thing)

You know why we don't see curses anymore today while medieval peasants were scared of a witch in the woods? Because people stopped believing in them, so they no longer inflict these things on themselves. Even a curse for 'bad luck' is just something your brain makes real. All the simple things that are a bit annoying but no big deal and you would have shrugged off suddenly become signs of 'the curse' if you believe you are cursed.

Psychology ahoy!
Seriously though, brains are powerful. Handle with care

My dad had an axe like that, and several more laying around the shed.
Used one like it to chop some firewood for the wood burner. A few times.

Also used large cutting knives to decapitate chickens. They truly do keep struggling for a minute or so

Best not to think about the meat industry then.

I eat meat, I love meat (context, PLEASE), but I think chickens are cute and it saddens me a little.

XSI · Post by **XSI** » Sun Jul 17, 2016 2:13 pm #196398

Context for what I said then

My parents have a chicken coop in the backyard for eggs. They also have the chickens wander around and just have them as pretty much a form of pet. Some of them hop onto your lap and sit there if you happen to be sitting outside and they notice you. Chickens can also be trained to sit on your shoulders like a parrot, as my brother figured out by trying.
But eventually they get old or sick with no chance of getting well again, and when they become too weak to walk or too sick to eat, then for a chicken it's pretty much the end. They're not enjoying that life either and it is generally worth it to finish them more quickly than letting them slowly expire.

Didn't eat them after either, once a chicken gets old the meat is pretty much not edible anymore unless you feel like chewing for hours(And even then it is tasteless and has a texture that isn't pleasant) or plan to make soup out of it(Which will literally take days and still won't be tasty)

Timbrewolf · Post by **Timbrewolf** » Sun Jul 17, 2016 5:43 pm #196429

Chickens are pretty social animals because of the way they cluster together in cold weather to keep warm.

ColonicAcid · Post by **ColonicAcid** » Sun Jul 17, 2016 6:08 pm #196434

What the flip you don't decapitate chickens.
You stick their head in a funnel kinda thing and cut their carotids. Atleast thats how I've done it with my parents.

Decapitating chickens causes you to sever the spinal cord which does make them flip the FUCK out which is why generally you don't do that.

You're mixing it with coffee liquor and cream or milk. I'm using half and half and Kahlua. If you don't like vodka use a smooth, tasteless one like New Amsterdam.

Wish vodka did more for me tbh. Did shots after but I feel nothing other than it burning my stomach lining. Rum really fucks me up but I hate it.

Post by **Thunder11** » Sun Jul 17, 2016 10:48 pm #196500

Semi skim here, though I've never noticed the difference to whole fat. Skimmed is cloudy water and fit only for pouring down the drain.

My cousins own a bunch of dairy farms in PA and it was explained to me as a youth that if you don't drink whole milk you're ruining the economy and also a pussy.

I'm 32 years old now and I haven't seen any evidence that either claim is wrong.

Stop drinking that gross ass chemical milk and just go whole.
