@btaroli @johnnyprofane1 I suspect a lot of the dangerous conflations from the naive infancy of terminology yet to find adequate nuance to tease out the distictions ready for common parlance[1], and all the incentivised intentional agnotologically abusive messing from fascists is not helping get us out this idiocratic stultificaiton atrophying minds further from fathoming the nuance needed to defeat fascism, triggering our due stultophobia and alarm even more, increasing out challenge to keep thinking clearly, and communicating clearly to those still caught in the totalitarianised groupthink mind-trap dogmas. ... And I really wish I had a simple way to say that for those most in need to grok such insights.

... And no... no safe place as far as I can fathom so far.

Mendwards,
the only safe heading...
and it may be long, with many an appealing cul-de-sac of self-fulfilling delaying made-inevitable-in-complicity-of-ignorance, and side roads opposaming back to racing to the bottom, fervently weilding attrocities deluded as if they're the virtuous remedies necessary.
Only mendwards.
But, beware any proposal of "only". "the" and "is" and "are" too, alarm bells, of a dunnykrugilous over-certainty, the type of reductivism that leads to the totalitarianised psyche. Gotta face the horror, get better sense, of questioning, to the otherwise worsening totalitarianising. Oh that merely running away to a cul-de-sac were remedy. Like those poor souls lost to opiates or tranq zombification fell for. Nope, we can still mend this... No spectator sport, cannot just step back to watch it burn. Goodness needs injected. Keep the apocalypse going... as in, the revealing. It's better to know, to help be known, all that's been going on. Easier to mend the bugs we see. Many eyes make all bugs shallow. Amen for their different perspectives. ... Now if they could learn to likewise appreciate our different perspectives... and learn that wise miners don't wait for the canary to stop singing, to get out. Wise miners get out when they hear the canary cough. Keep coughing louder. :) Where's out? The hiding spaces shrinking everywhere... the solution space seems, to keep heading mendwards.

A'body got their half-truths. We're all just another blind man with another piece of the elephant. Put all out perceptions together, we might actually figure out the truth. The observations, not our conclusions we cling to. Too easy to dismiss other perspectives hearing their conclusions that don't fit with ours, and contribute to the division that grows to polarisation, stubborn prejudice and groupthink. Then we get further lost from reality, fighting strawmen cartoons of our enemy, terrorised, never speaking to them with enough patience to find out they're our ally, saying the same thing, differently, with useful insights that help each and all. ... Maybe. Or maybe they really are of some rotten corrupted ilk. In which case, all the more reason to grok what they're up to, that's not just saying the same thing differently.

(Also, yeah, RFK Jr.'s suspicious'ness first became apparent to me, upon seeing his hot headed mouth-froth that anyone who didnt agree with him on climate should be put in prison... maybe we shouldn't succumb to the marketing psyop angle of "people buy people first", and not have heroes; not have strongman saviours (perhaps especially the most passionate)... and stick to the substance of the issues, ... ~ a nice pedagogical dream.)

How long do you think until they're rounding us up to be culled again, along with the acutely chemically lobotomised they made (in both negligence, and intent), ... oh wait, already been happening for over a decade and a half.

Anyway, I fervently agree: I was not born to be fixed. Or pitied. Not even studied...

... Though, I was born more as an artist to bring heaven on earth, than to raise hell on anyone's ass per se... but hey, if a little lick of the flames sharpens the attention ... ;D

[1: So that's not a prayer with hopes on the next version of the DSM. lol. ... Though I do have other ideas about broad spectrum aptitude tests, extended and proliferated... might be an essay for another time.]

(ps, also pre MMR (just), did succumb to flu jab terror once, despite knowing it not viable to vaccinate that part of the virome and knowing of the plans tying into the PNAC and Codex alimentarius, in 2009. It didnt help. But my tism was long prior evident to at least a dozen people who voiced it to me, and my broad spectrum aptitude test showed social aptitude 70 and spikey profile overall... didnt take a jab to chemically lobotomise me into being autistic and neurodivergent in other ways... been dodging chemical lobotomies in food supply long time. It's not the same, and that conflation, and the way it's being abused... seemingly, to prime for a fascistic eugenics cull, is more than a mite irritating, speaking as a survivor of at least 3 rounds of popularised "soft"-kill culling of the disabled poor humans... okay, I'll actually manage to stop myself going on to add more this time... Beware the Orwellianisms and inducements to an hour of hate of the other. This is no time for pitchforks vs torches. Keep speaking better sense of questions, compassionately, calmly, around those who've so succumbed.)

Het is bekend dat #energiecontracten een #vast #energietarief of een #variabel #tarief kunnen hebben. Minder bekend is dat er ook contracten zijn met een #dynamisch tarief. Hierbij wisselt het #stroomtarief per uur en het #gastarief per dag. https://www.kieszeker.nl/blog/een-dynamisch-energiecontract-is-dat-gunstig-of-niet/

“Our timetable will achieve the stature of a natural phenomenon,” his father said. “A planet’s life is a vast, tightly interwoven fabric. Vegetation and animal changes will be determined at first by the raw physical forces we manipulate. As they establish themselves, though, our changes will become controlling influences in their own right—and we will have to deal with them, too. Keep in mind, though, that we need control only three per cent of the energy surface—only three per cent—to tip the entire structure over into our self-sustaining system.”
