RL has been like that for a while

Only one who’s never been hungry aside from an intentional fast at most can dare claim the benefits of deprivation.

I’m down to a soda/caffeine drink at most once a day, down from drinking two or more every day.

McDonald’s has been too expensive for years, and it takes too long since they refuse to hire enough people and its usually a child doing the job of 5 grown adults. Fast food my fat ass, I can cook my own food for a fraction of the price faster than McDonald’s.

Try to do so many apps per week, 7 or so is a good number, doing a lot sounds good on paper, but HR of different places talk and flooding with your resume makes you look desperate and therefore unemployable.

Create a schedule you can follow and try to have so much time dedicated to rest/enjoyment if possible, no matter how small.

Seconding this, and even if its a supposed stable profession don’t depend on it, I’ve seen too many tradesmen working retail and doctors that fail to start residency.

I’d add on learn as many skills as you can, especially basic cooking and repair (car, home, gadgets, etc), it will save you time and money. Home cooked is cheaper than eating out and if you can make meals in advance and freeze them it will save time.

And strawberry milk comes from red cows.

It doesn’t matter in the end.

Out of body experience, the illusory perception that you’re hanging outside of your body, people that have NDEs (near death experiences) report it a lot but you can trip that sensation while very alive, people with hard core dissociation type conditions for example, other more boring things like sleep deprivation, trauma and stress, or simple meditation and perception games.

Personally no, and neither does anything/one else, its a very limited religious-brainwormed concept mostly used to just go around and call things ‘souless’ which is all in fun when its a terrible movie or something, not fun when its people and the concept is used to harm them. Its all material and its near countless interactions in many, many forms all the way up and down, in forms we know well and those we have yet to study.

During NDEs your brain glitches out as you’re basically dying (and if you’re really dead technically you’re not human anymore anyway, just sayin, the pop-mythical soul seems to imply permanent human-ness lording all existence in a linear fashion whether directly or by symbolic language) and having OBEs is nothing mystical, in fact reasonably easy to recreate when fully well and alive, so its hard to say those as some concrete evidence for a pop soul concept or against it. I think its the brain making stuff up for now since life is hard and filled with stuff it can’t handle.

A lot of things people call ‘soul’ in pop reference can be taken away quite easily by mere illness, time or even falling out of social graces.

Waste time on the internet, maybe modding or other nerdy projects
