Looks spooky tbh
I’ve been having a lot of strange dreams again lately. Seeming to revolve around people from my childhood or just scenarios that take place at schools.
I think I’m lonely.

Good evening, dear frens,
I wondered if any of you also strives to get an overview about the different mindset one might encounter or actively trigger throughout the day, and sort and strengthen the good ones?
Lately I have managed to rediscover some mindsets I had cultivated as a kid. This is great, because if they had stayed hidden, the cause of their "lockdown"(so to speak) would be something that unconsciously would prevent me from reaching personal growth and also that sweet tranquility in everyday life.

I had a new realisation while riding my cool new bicycle. The previous owner had installed additional handlebars so that you can sit on it almost upright (very nice for my back as well), and since the whole bike is pretty high to begin with and transmits the energy very efficiently, it sort of feels like I'm riding a mythical creature, zooming through the city almost by magic.
Of course this reminded me of my childhood in several ways: The excitement of learning a skill and going somewhere new (I liked to pair this with fantasy make-believe about mythical creatures) , but also the excitement of having a cool thing that enables me to do stuff better.
The latter was buried somehow (I guess because of bullying related to new stuff, or maybe my tendencies to clumsily break everythtI own and learning not to get too attached through things). And so I lost contact to the intrinsic joy those things bring.
Now, that I rediscovered the mental stance and image of experiencing this cool stuff, I immediately thought of my quest of mindset integration, and tried to put it somewhere and blend it in, that is: make sense of it in connection to what I do all day.
And because I have discovered and/or created quite a few easy patterns that I use each day, I immediately found several ways to connect it and brush the edges over so that it might be experiences more often and help me with my goal for energizing myself. :3
Meditation and prayer would play quite a big role in there since they would be very idealistic, objectively positive, and supposedly regular cornerstones of daily life, and could be used as pillars to pull your preferred mindset connections up again and again (and also purify them). I should practice them more often.
What are your favourite mindsets, and what do you do to untangle them across time?

> For example, sometimes I'll decide to think about certain situations / topics axiomatically--applying arbitrary rules, and seeing what I derive from them. This is quite fun, especially when I extend these rules to things such as world building.
Explain pls
>Another fun pattern of thought is recursion. I think for people, it's not common to think of actions / topics as recursive. We tend to see things as an iterative process, so switching my thought pattern from iterative to recursive is a big shock. At first it seem so strange that the entire thought process depends on absolute confidence in a base case, but as you continue to think recursively, it becomes natural.
That's a cool idea, almost magical though, because it implies that whatever incentive you choose to set consciously might recursively gain more and more effect in the world. 5/5 will try out!
So what I mean by axiomatically is sort of like a rewriting system, where you start out with a couple of basic rules / algorithms, / ideas and then come to crazy conclusions by following those rules.
So, for example, think of chirality: what if instead of favoring bilateral symmetry / reflections over 1 axis, the universe favored triradial symmetry? What if molecules were reflective over a radius instead of an axis? How would this restrict molecule formation, and how would this impact the chemical reactions needed to create the first self-replicating molecules? What would this mean for physics? For oscillatory behavior? How would things oscillate if sine waves weren't symmetric to an axis, but symmetric to a radius?
I guess a lot of it is just questioning and hypothesizing, but it's still fun to think about what kind of strangeness a perturbation in a slight rule could have on everything.
Well, I wouldn't call it my favorite mindset or anything highbrow:
I have taken the final step into full misanthropy after realizing people in general don't give a fuck about anyone but themselves or their kids. The blatant ignoring of corona guidelines, wearing masks and hygiene and such, is rage inducing. I have worn a mask since March and been openly laughed at it for it. The mask never was for myself, I don't give a damn if I die from Covid, but infecting my family or strangers is a thought enough for me to suicide. I could not deal with the guilt of my parents or the neighbor's Pekka getting infected because of my actions.
Turns out nobody else cares, making my efforts null. I never thought I could feel aggression to my fellow man, I was taught since child to direct it at myself, so it's a new feeling of wanting to strangle practically everyone else without a mask in the crowded supermarket. This is new for me, I never thought I could be so full of hate.
I’ve gotten to the point where I actively work 10 hour days just so I have something to do and feel productive. I do nothing with/for myself in the extra time I spend working, I wish I wasn’t so boring and actually had the energy to have hobbies or make friends or do something and be normal but might as well trade play for work if I don’t have a life already.
Have some photos I took today. Cardinal flower, pink turtle head, I think great blue lobelia and an american toad

He sounds like he took the american dream pill. I really respect immigrants who make a name for themselves. There are a lot of Albanians where I live and while they work blue collar jobs I really respect their dedication to being the best they can be. And they also are very much of the mindset of help me help you, so if you do them a good deed they will repay it 10 fold.
Azerbijan and Armenia at war now
I don't support either side since they're both temporarily occupied Soviet territories (just like Rusiasa)

I will end up on this show one day. Thankfully years on KC and now BG grave taught me much about the world and women so I feel safe.
What foreign gf would you marry bernds? Ideally I would like to marry a nice French Canadian girl but I’m okay with a Brazilian farm girl or a steepe girl from Uzbekistan or Turkmenistan. As long as they share my dream of leaving society and running a homestead I’m okay.

So worn out after today.
Drove (dad's) car back from yearly maintenance, thought everything was fine after the crash but no. Steering wheel is slightly crooked and there is something wrong with the right rear axel(?) even though they were fixed a year ago at a different shop, apprently shoddy work. I was prepared for surprises, but it will be a pain in the ass to get the garage to fix their mistake nevermind get the insurance company to pay up the money for realigning the wheel. Fortunately even if it cost's 500€+ no problem, as I have built up another emergency fund last summer I can dip into.
Feel free to blogpost about your car itt.

Outside of your neighborhood, most city dwellers don't really care who you are and probably won't remember unless they have to deal with you specifically. There's too much visual noise to focus on one person. Especially during busy hours. Even weirdos are just taken as part of the scenery.
I was once in a village and nobody there knew the addresses. They just guided themselves by saying "go right from Valentino's house" or "you're looking for Alfredo's place" and similar shit. And they automatically know you're an alien.
That wasn't Germany obviously but I get what he's getting at. I don't get why people have this boner for small town life. I'd kill myself within a year.
Car was fucky already and also needed the yearly inspection, so I figured I would let the workshop also do the oil change and small fixes.
Big mistake. The most obvious fix they didn't do at all (a leaky turbo pipe, most probably), and for my axis hull they ordered a wrong part and they also somehow caused my roof to leak through the top console when it rains.
Also, since they didn't manage to even finish my car in time, I took it back and fixed most of it myself.
Yesterday, suddenly the ventilation stopped working, and today I dismantled the whole interior and managed to locate and circumvent the broken part (now it's just in or off, but it works).
I'm bretty proud of myself
