Certain 70's/80's Music

Hey all. As a drummer/percussionist/musician nearing 60... has anyone else looked back at old film footage of groups like, "The Jackson 5" and "The Osmands" etc. And even into the 80's with groups like "New Addition" etc. or ANY groups or so-called "bands" with basically under aged "Kids" singing about VERY Adult themes and thought... "Ummm yeah... this is really NOT very good or health!!!"

Like whenever I hear a young. Pre-teen Michael Jackson or the same thing with a very young "Donny Osmond", singing about "Love" in what I would definitely describe as VERY "Adult Themes " it just makes me cringe!

Little/young kids singing about Adult types of relationships is really kind of... sick if you ask me?!

Does anyone one else here get feelings like this???!!!

Instagram Live

Couldn't think of where else to say this or who to say this to. Also can't really tell anyone in my life cause the situation makes me inherently creepy as well. Men are fucking creepy and cringe. I check in on an Instagram page that promotes girls going live where they usually do nudity. (Found through Reddit because of searching for the "forgot my camera was on" type stuff) Anyways, sometimes profiles linked to the page are currently live and doing all the normal lewd stuff as guys comment weird shit and tip them. One that I stumbled onto was a girl close up going to town on herself. After a few minutes of this she moves the camera back to her face and goes ah I gotta check on my son real quick. (This is also problematic on her part as well I know) She puts on pants I guess? And take the phone with her never shows the son and keeps herself on mute as she walks around and as she is doing so a comment pops up saying how is he if you don't mind me asking? I know this my not fully fit here but WTF prompts people to do this shit. I know men do heinous shit when they are horny but JFC. It just felt a bit too far. Needless to say she ended the Livestream shortly after.

Rizz is considered good, but high body count is considered bad. This says a lot about our society.

Like what's the point of making people want you if you don't want them back? Narcissism is so ingrained in our culture.

Me when superpowers

Literally slowing down time to catch my middle school crush cartoonishly and foolishly slipping on the most fucking dry concrete floor you could find on the entire world and me just slowing time for everything except me (100x slower or something) and just catching her while my classmates looks at me astonishingly

Don’t take disturbing / intrusive thoughts as a sign that there’s something wrong with you - they’re more common than you think

Have you ever had an intrusive, unsettling thought pop into your head that just seemed to come out of nowhere? It may be fairly disturbing and you might feel like a bit of a freak or a weirdo as a result. Well, guess what - you’re not!

Intrusive/disturbing thoughts can take many forms - sometimes it can be based on fear (for example, the idea that you have a disease), anger (it might be a violent thought or a thought of self harm), inappropriate sexual thoughts, something around relationships or death. When they arrive they worry us, they can make us ask if there’s something wrong with us. Its usually something that's fundamentally at odds with who we are, what we believe and what we want to do - for example the thought of jumping off when you’re near a cliff.

And this actually helps us to understand why we experience disturbing thoughts. Many people (including me) experience the thought of jumping off when you’re near a cliff, but the intrusive thought usually isn’t our mind trying to get us to act in a particular way, rather its our mind getting us to do the opposite. We’re afraid of doing something appropriate in public so we have a thought to do something inappropriate. We want to be safe from harm, so our mind asks us “what would happen if you jumped off this cliff” - to get us to back away from the edge. They can also just be a random, meaningless stream of consciousness. Intrusive thoughts are common and not a sign that there’s something wrong with you.

We can choose to see these thoughts as just that - only thoughts. In fact, intrusive or disturbing thoughts can be a helpful reminder that we are not our thoughts, they are simply something that we experience. We shouldn’t judge ourselves for having these thoughts, we shouldn’t try to fight with the thoughts or shut them out - that will only make them come more often and its where they draw their power from. Instead, we can unlock the door, let them in and accept that they exist without judgement. Sit with them for a moment. Listen to what they have to say without agreeing or disagreeing and allow them to leave, which they inevitably do. If they come again, we can do the same thing. Remember that trying to push them away is a form of attachment - we’re attached to the idea of being free of the thoughts and so we want to somehow purge them. Unfortunately that's not how our brain works - in fact the resistance is likely to make the intrusive thoughts come more often.

Its also important not to let intrusive, disturbing thoughts feed into a pattern of consumption - unwanted thoughts can drive us to look for ways to distract ourselves. Instead look at the fundamentals of your life; are you stressed out at the moment, are you spending more time alone than you usually do? Are there changes you can make that contribute towards your calmness - can you do less of the things that you know increase your anxiety or sadness like caffeine or alcohol, more of the wholesome activities that develop your wellbeing like exercise, meditation and creative activities?

Caveat - I'm not a mental health professional so do look for help from a therapist if intrusive thoughts are disrupting your daily life and making it difficult to function.

I wish that aliens exist and come over here to set things right by any means neccesary

Syrian war, Russia's war on Ukraine and the shooting down of an airliner, ISIS, climate change, Trump, Brexit, North Korea, Bolsonaro, China, Hong Kong unrest, Iran and now the coronavirus. I wish that advanced aliens are not just somehow a fantasy and I can manage to attract them to here and work with them in setting things right by any means necessary.

In team with the aliens my game plan is to force Russia onto the table and end the Ukraine war with a UN interim administration at ORDLO (Temporarily occupied and uncontrolled territories of Ukraine) and then a truly independent referendum held there for their people to decide their own fate not to mention paying full compensation in relation of the airliner shoot-down. If Russia at that point still doesn't want to submit to this then alien superweapons like big lasers and asteroid hurlers will do the rest of the job by making a scale of the bombing of Mars as seen in Star Trek Picard or Star Wars Scarif destruction out of the incorrigible nation. After all Putin is just the embodiment of Russia as a whole; in 5 years they appeared to changed a lot but in the scale of hundreds of years nothing has actually differed. I could extend it against North Korea if I wanted to.

I adamantly feel that only with such a terrible way of intimidation in setting thing right we can return to calmer times like the 90's or 2006-2007 or perhaps even more so. You either eliminate or contain cancer cells with things like chemotherapy or else let it grow out of control and kill the host. Russians are particularly a 'war-like' race innately and treats treaties as papers so only unfathomable hard ways like that can work.

In the happy ending where Russia did as I wanted to eventually I'd like to leave Earth altogether and go with them as a 'progeny' of humanity just in case coronavirus or climate change extinguish the torch of us as a whole. I don't think I can pass NASA astronaut test so perhaps that's the only way I can go on into space and wander within it forever.

After all these I'd like to rest on a ringed terran planet with moons inside a nebula like those procedural objects found in space engine and enjoy the sight of dusk and midnight.

Does anyone else find flirting over text extremely cringey?

Whenever I flirt with females over text and send hearts back and forth it takes a lot of willpower because I find it so cringey.

Why the body insists that growing pubic hair is more important than growing beard?

I don't know if that's because i shave them more frequently (but i shave them because they grow, duh). A beard is one of my greatest dreams and just grow 1mm per year. But the pubic hair turns into a forest in just 1 month. WHY YOU HAVE TO BE LIKE THAT, BODY?

One day in 1933 there were thousands of Jews that were homeless. They went to jermany to commit suicide together. A man let them use his giant shower and they committed mass suicide in the shower and Hitler got blamed. #neverhappened
