Been approaching this idea for a while. We make our own enrichment, which is bard and spoons byt worth it in the end. Just wish I could find more people near me who also thought that way.
Yeah, people who have a deterministic outlook or believe that things can't change tend to use that as an excuse for their shitty behavior rather than actually engage with the concept of everything being pointless or futile.
Hello Mr Sims! On a scale of 1-10 how much do you believe in free will? 1 being everything is entirely determined and 10 being everything is free will
I do not believe the future is determined in any external way. I do believe that if every single neuron of someone's brain were fully and completely understood and mapped out down to the moment a decision is made, and every single micro- and macroscopic factor affecting that decision was also understood, then it would be possible to completely predict a person's course of action. Now, obviously, we will never have anything close to the ability to do that, and even if we did that knowing itself alter the equation. Our minds and realities are so infinitely complex that such a thing is impossible, so for all practical purposes we have free will.
What would that be... a 5?

Because The Sun.
I cannot believe how many peiple do not know this. So! I am going to educate people.
Every time the Earth orbits around the Sun, that is one year. Hopefully everyone knows that. But, the Earth turns on a tilt from its orbit. That tilt causes the sun to shine differently on the planet at different times of the year, which causes the seasons. This is why when it is Winter in the Northern Hemisphere, it is Summer in the Southern Hemisphere.
This also means that there will be longest and shortest days of the year, which are called Solstices, and times when the day and night will be equal, called Equinoxes. Astrologically, the seasons start at those dates. However, those do not line up with a calendar nicely at all.
I also personally question why we do it that way, rather than the half way points between the equinox and solstice, as that would line up much better with what we think of the seasons, and would put it on the first of months.
Spring would start February 1st, Summer would start May 1st, Fall would start August 1st, and winter would start November 1st. But I digress
AMERICA WHAT THE FUCK???? WHY ARE THEY LIKE.. HALF WAY THROUGH THE MONTH WHAT
FIRST PRIDE!! THIS SHIS AMAZING! I get it now
Everyone here is such a gender! Theres multiple drag queen shows! The merch! The corporate support is a bit sketch, as I know a lot of it is just showing fake support. But most of the booths are genuinely here and queer. Theres a gay mens camping group!
Man, just out here loving my best life
#apparently the entire bee movie script was spammed #amazing
Good.
Yeah, Kamala is better than the orange, but we cannot let her sleep on this. Being better than a fascist here at home does not excuse her for supporting fascism abroad.
Is it really just brown people scary? It's gotta be more than that.
Fuck off, lol
Obviously big religious trigger warning for this one yall. I had to step back because it was too close for me. But from what I read was a pretty great book. I have another of his books that is almost at the top of the reading pile and looking forward to it.
CHAT BIG BIG BIG NEWS
This is my main tumblr. It's going to be filled with random things that are cool. This includes technology, space, some fandom stuff, and sometimes PSA's. Have fun, and maybe find something new.
