I haven't found any decent tea to drink.

Theoretically I don’t need to hate on substance users. They think they change by subscribing to noble ideologies of helping the world, but they rarely do. There is a pipeline where one goes from being an addict to a social justice warrior (not the academic type). Warriors in many forms, crypto anti war activists, feminist psychoanalysist, anarchist “journalists”… Need to be specific because they still benefit from their splitting but instead of the direct destruction, they go to the indirect or quiet one that is more socially acceptable even noble.

Which brings up the second point. I haven’t seen any case of borderline with “successful treatment” with psychoanalysis. At best the successful actually comes from behaviorism where they are taught skills not to be too impulsive.

It’s not that they have a defective reasoning skill, now you tell them not to do so and they become normal. Maturity comes from interaction with our families, our peers, everyday, consistently, since as a child to as an adult. When you don’t practice it as a child, you also miss out decades of maturity when you reach adulthood. Which when psychoanalysis comes to the rescue with few hours per week, you still relatively a child to most of your peers in term of psychological maturity even if all the hours well spent.

Maybe there are still people are getting better, even with slow progress. I don’t know that many people. But I doubt they are the ones rushing to the destination of virtue and justice.

That Glenn Greenwald thing reminds me of a few years ago when I used to lurk around the dating app twice a year, all the hard-core socialists I saw (the serious ones and not the campus hobbyists) were coincidentally polyamorous.

Let's just say sex is an emotional affair to me. Which, is a surprise, when I learn in my adulthood that, to the majority it's more of a gym class or an improv class. But I guess it's still better than as an emergency medical situation with inadequate school equipment.

Goodnight M. See you later.

I wouldn’t trust myself with a weapon either. But for different reasons.

Just a warning that I’m very clumsy my parents had to keep knives away from me until I was 18. I could hardly cook anything decent for myself.

I had a fat guy tell me that caring about weight was superficial. As opposed to what? Personality? Where it takes months to find out if your integrity is fake? Whereas with look, I can see final product right here right now.

I also had people tell me that I quit job on a whim meant my family was rich. But I happened to know they hung out with their friends every weekend and even weekdays after work, didn't do any personal work, and bought expensive bubble milk tea every day in the afternoon. Which, makes them fat too.

Besides avocado shake, I also like fresh coconut water, and cut fruits in a small bucket mixed with yogurt. I haven’t found any place selling this nearby so I often eat it when I go shopping in the city center.

I also got clumsy and knocked out several cola bottles at the store. So I paid and told the cashier to throw them away. And the lady said, “You don't take them?”. Now why would I drink pure sugar and chemicals? Though I happen to know my college flatmate drank like 2 liters of them per day.

Wish I have knocked out corn milk.

Wore brown corduroy today and a poodle thought I was his friend.
