Well, unfortunately I have several levels in "minor cretin", so when you asked me what I wanted, the concept of food had never even occurred to me and my stomach was doing the REEEEEEEE but now that I smell a food it occurs to me that the REEEEEE was maybe hunger instead of nausea so now I'm hungy

But in my relationship I'd just tell my fiance I'm hungy now and then we'd order more food together because we are not 5.

Wisdom is understanding that all word categories are largely arbitrary, based on the distinctions which are needing to be made at any one time, and thus to apply the scientific, botanical definition of "fruit" to a general culinary context is foolish.

Yeah. It's like any other religion, I guess.

Fun fact, tarot cards were invented in the late Middle Ages (from other similar cards which were popular around then, I think imported from the East?) and were used to play a game called Trumps. That's why the major arcana cards are also known as trump cards. The magical ot esoteric aspect was added later. This means that technically, using tarot to "read the future" has as much inherent validity as any other deck of cards.... I wanna see someone try with Pokemon or Uno cards 😂😂

Irrespective of its truthfulness, astrology is really cool! I love learning about it. I also really like alchemy. It's kinda like looking at someone's fanfic AU. Of course 17th century guys were inventing cute lil alphabets, pretending they belonged to angels, and writing lil secret notes. Of course someone looked up at the sky and then invented a whole magic system about how the pictures affect our lives. Humans never change.

In fact things like Tarot and astrology can be used to ascribe meaning to some of the ways in which we behave - like, you can't tell the future objectively from it, but you can figure things out about your own current feelings based on what you gravitate to and what the results make you think about.

I'm with you bro. But I feel like at least a few of my problems are self inflicted. I need to get up, get out, move around, sleep right, eat right, drink water, and build community. There's a torrent of bad but I want to be part of making things better, y'know?

Easier said than done, but also the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step? Idk take care brother
