Sunshine9

I can attest to the sun feeling (being) much stronger this summer. I'm in Florida so yes, it's sunny - but I've never quite felt it like this. Zaps your energy too! Everyday, the little weather icon on my laptop says "high UV".

Very interesting, and kinda scary too. I've lived in Florida for over 25 years. I started out in south Florida and I live in the Panhandle now. I have never felt such heat in Florida as the past few months. So hot and dry, in fact, I've been worried about fires too lately...

Okay, I thought I'd seen it all! Guess not!!!

@EnigmaticWorld What exactly is going on here and what is he reading? I haven't watched the sheeple news in a very long time...

Thank you for your explanation. I do believe there is something very weird going on right now - definitely in America, and I'm not sure about elsewhere. I'm in the midst of job hunting right now and it has not been fun. One job I looked at today required the candidate to be fully vaccinated for covid as well as have the flu shot. Another job required masks if you weren't fully vaccinated. I had thought we were past this but I guess not! I had an interview last week at a rehab facility. I saw a such a complete ridiculous contradiction of mask wearing. Some employees weren't wearing them, some had them on below their nose (can't stand that!), some had masks AND plastic face shields over top of that. When I asked the interviewer about it, she couldn't give me a clear answer as to whether masks were mandatory or not. Also, and I can't put my finger on this, but that was the THIRD interview I have gone to where they gave me a large packet of paperwork to fill out before the interview had even begun. In the paperwork, they asked for so much information, including my SS#, driver's license #, date of birth, etc. I totally understand this may be necessary for a background check, but this was before I was even interviewed! The first time it happened, I fell for it and gave them everything. I thought I was going to get the job. I did not. The next two times, I left all of that information blank. At the third interview, the interviewer basically argued with me about it, as if I was refusing to provide the information. I explained I would be happy to give it once I was offered a job. I never was offered. I think it's some kind of data collecting thing going on but I really don't know. I know that was a little off topic, but it's just been part of the weirdness I've been experiencing!

He can't seem to get them open all the way, but this squinty-eyed soul-less evil puppet.

All extremely interesting - in particular about the masks. Several years ago, this all might have sounded a little crazy to me, but not anymore. I had a major problem with the masks. I felt like I couldn't function properly while wearing one. What was so strange about it, it seemed like some people actually LIKED wearing the masks and they continue to wear them now! And what the hell is up with wearing them OUTSIDE? That makes absolutely no sense to me, but what does anymore? I also remember, way back at the beginning, a doctor on TV saying that sunlight can kill the virus. I think I heard that only once. They probably shut that guy down real quick. When I had covid, the headache felt like there was something crawling around in my head with spikes. The whole thing seems really sinister. Thanks for the info.

That makes sense. Nursing homes are extremely prevalent here, and they keep building more. Everyone in a household having to work so much just to afford to live, leaves no time to be any type of caregiver. One of them near where I live is run by a hotel company. They charge an arm and a leg too. Those poor people who are being abused in these places - what kind of life is that? It's not a life. Throwing them into a bed and letting them lay there. That's not living. There's a lady across the street from me who's in her 90's and lives on her own. She goes to work out every week. I want to stay like that until my dying day!

I have NO DOUBT that this is extremely common in America. I live here and can tell you that whites are definitely in the minority now. I am white (blonde and blue) and get dirty looks all the time. I have also been passed over for jobs and promotions when they promote a black person (with half the experience and crappy work ethic to boot) instead. My professional life has literally come to a grinding halt. I grew up in the 70's and 80's and there was not the tension then that there is now. I feel hated. AND I WILL NEVER end up in one of these so-called nursing homes in the care of these "people". I'll figure out a way to die first if I have to do it myself!! I can't stand having this anger and negativity in my heart, but it's become impossible not to.

Been looking for this one - found on the site! Thanks again!

I see that it does and that what you're saying is true. It just seems like the fact that we're all here for such a short time would bind us together and we would all want what's best for each other. It's hard to fathom why this isn't the case!

I read Phantom Self first. It's basically why I'm here. Mind-blowing stuff.

This is awesome, thanks!! You may have heard of this one, but it's another site with old books: Project Gutenberg, Free eBooks. https://www.gutenberg.org/

Amen to that! Why all the bad actors? I just don't get it.

This is me, unfortunately. Somehow, I have a naturally positive attitude but it's been challenged greatly over the last few years. I'm not sure that happiness is our natural state at all, though. In my experience, I find that moments of happiness come from other people and experiences. Those two things can also take away the happiness. I know it is wrong to look for happiness from someone else. You simply can't count on it that way. I would say a natural state, at least for me, is peace - that feeling of knowing that all is well and that you have completed your tasks for now.

"Effectively cutting off their air supply..." I LIKE IT! Please include the blood-sucking insurance companies while we're at it!

I struggled hard with the mask situation. Never thought I'd see anything like it in my lifetime. I also felt a definite shift in reality in general when this whole thing (Covid) began, and it did not seem positive AT ALL. I agree about how important it is to stay strong and united. Thanks for the kind words!

Depopulation, social reset, change human interaction. I find it interesting that most are in agreement. The change in human interaction has been (at least to me) startling! And why would they want this? It breaks us down and makes us weaker.

There was a time in my life where I never would have believed that people would fall for such things. Well, that's changed! After working for our local county and realizing that the vast majority of people don't know their a#% from a hole in the ground, geez, nothing would surprise me. I seriously wonder how some people even get through the day. And yes, it does seem as if things are slowly clicking into place on this particular theory. Guess we'll see.

This is crazy! Saw an interview the other day with a train conductor. He was talking about all the budget cuts and how they've been running on skeleton crews. Just like every other industry in America it seems. No money is being spent on the infrastructure for the rail lines. He says it will only get worse. As a young adult, I remember walking along the tracks many times. We would use them as trails to basically cut from one end of town to the other. There would be like one railroad spike in connectors with four spaces for them. I was a civil engineering major and will always remember an instructor stating that however many holes there are in a connecting piece - that means that it is designed to need that many fasteners.

Wow. How horrible. I'm from not far from there - Canton, Ohio. Don't live anywhere near there now and I am glad!!

They probably do have some kind of shielding in place for certain things or areas. Maybe not "everything" critical but who knows? I'm hoping that an EMP is NOT a serious issue but it's important to think of the possibilities. Also, there are some things that could be done to prepare just in case...

This was one of the first thoughts that popped into my head when I heard of these supposed "spy" balloons. I read a book not long ago about what it would be like after an EMP. It's very concerning, and definitely seems like it could be a real threat. Apparently, the US detonated one years ago over Hawaii and it knocked everything electrical out. I pray nothing like this ever happens, but our power grid in the US is extremely precarious, as I imagine it is in other countries as well. I don't think it would take much, and I don't believe for a minute these are so-called "spy" balloons.

This speaks to me - a lot. Lower vibration keeps you more susceptible to sickness. I got sick with covid in Sept. 2021, then not long after seemed to catch the variant (omicron) - I did not test the second time but had many of the same symptoms so was pretty sure. This past November 2022, I got some kind of flu that was worse than either!! I tested negative for covid that time but this flu I had was BAD. Being sick so much in such a short time seems to have really taken a toll on my mental health. For years of my life, I rarely if ever got sick (before all the covid business). I could go for years and years with barely a cold! I only had the flu once before as a young kid - before all this! I take the best care of myself I can - with vitamins, exercise, eating right, etc. and have always been in good health. So I don't know what's going on with these sicknesses, but it definitely takes a toll on your mental health. I've been dealing with bouts of depression that I never had before.

@EnigmaticWorldthe phones are definitely listening, so probably very wise to have it off some of the time at least. Some people are switching back to basic phones.
