Books and weight reps are alike.
There is light ones and there is heavy ones. The light ones pile up & feel good or bad, important or not. Heavy ones are those that really matter, but you're never going to get them without pilling up the light ones. Heavy ones will give you an emotional, intellectual &/or physical orgasm that no light ones could ever give you, but without pilling up those light ones you will collapse under the heavy ones. Light ones are the journey, heavy ones the enlightenment.
Can anyone help me re-discover who is the developer for the Toot app for ios? I’ve been testing it in Test Flight and it has stopped working with newest release but can’t find the developer here on Masto. Think their name is Dag Agren.
Britpol, but actually USpol could do with some of this.

So, we just made a soundcloud account for my a capella singing trio, and we put two recordings from our last practice on it: https://soundcloud.com/3-cactus-flowers
One is an English song by some dude from the 15th century, the other is a nordic folk song.
Aaaand.. we'll sing a few songs live on Tuesday in Berlin as part of a bigger choir concert (Zionskirche @ 8 PM).
There is no religion more American than Scientology. Their beliefs, their methods and their PR. It doesn't get more American than that.
We never get to really understand how dystopias develop in them stories. The secret is that most of the people really are okay with the dystopia because they fear change in the status quo. They don't want change because it could get worse.
Making the super majority dissatisfied with the status quo and welcome change, however, is simply counter to their comfort, however, and appears to cause them to slide into dystopia themselves.
So how do we make bettering the world not a zero-sum game?
Oh my God!

Yesterday was spent in the woods next to a lake.
Where it's so quiet that your ears ring and you can without a problem hear the beating wings of a passing bird, the little splash when a fish breaks the surface and the susurration of the entire forest.
No social media, no internet, no problems.

Wasn't Quora founded by FB employees, or something? Probably.
Oh, I forgot... Fuck you, Quora!
So if you do a general web search for whatever, and get a Quora result, you can read the Quora question and associated replies.
But copy a particular reply link (the reply permlink) and try to view that, and you're faced with all kinds of centralized barrier agreement bullshit.
And that's what it is -- a bunch of bullshit.
