> The '70s were filled with aggressive pro-smoking movies, commercials, and advertisements. 21st century went in the opposite direction replacing cigarettes with thousands of pills that allegedly improve our health and supplement all that we don't get in the food. So what is that about, nothing, just one poison, and addiction, replaced with another on a more individual level.

Life with big data is going to show ways to influence people to buy the next great thing.   Of course this is nothing new, however, it is getting more refined and will become more insidious as time goes on.

No more flying on other planets.  The Mars helicopter damaged a blade landing the other day.  Mission over.

It captured a number of great shots though.   I am still waiting for terraforming Mars game to go on sale, so I only have passing interest.

I started taking creatine with my pre-workout before I exercise. Good news, I worked out harder than I ever had previously in my life. Bad news, I was so sore the next day that it felt like someone beat the shit outta me. Gonna have to be more mindful from now on.

I'd be worried about damp.

 

Looks like an exhibit at the Impractical Furniture Museum.

Beautiful. The view of the water reminded me of the movie "Knockin' on Heaven's Door".

 

My dream homes have changed as my life has progressed. At first, the dream was an apartment with a view of the Eiffel Tower. Then there was a period when I wanted to live in Italy. It was the water canals that attracted me. But realizing how difficult it is and how it affects the health, the dream disappeared. And in general, we often make mistakes without understanding much. By assessing the beauty of a place only from photographs and videos, we do not gain real knowledge of these places. Climatic conditions, insects and other similar factors that are very important are overlooked by us.

 

My last dream was a house in a place somewhat remote from people. Japan. Mountains. Sakura Blooming. Remember the beginning of the animated film "Byousoku Go Centimeter"?!

 

...but right now I have already forgotten how to dream. I’m probably turning into a museum exhibit of naivety and faith in something good.

 

added: While I was writing, new messages were already being added and the topic of high humidity and salt content in the air had already been raised. It’s bad when it’s difficult for you to write large texts in English.

I continue the theme of dreams.

 

The most important dream in my life is travel. I dreamed of traveling around the entire globe, but not staying anywhere for long, because getting used to any place kills the first impressions I received. Monotony always has a bad effect on me personally. Depression begins, which develops into a desire to put an end to everything. As one poet wrote: “It’s always good to fall in love with a girl, but God forbid you live with her.”


In principle, I have been to many places in my life, but I don’t consider my dream fulfilled. It’s difficult to single out a specific place. Everywhere has its pros and cons. And yes, I hate traveling as a tourist. Everything that is shown to a tourist is always very deceptive. You will simply be immersed in illusion. Having broken through the fences of these illusions of hotels, you will be shocked by the reality of life of the people living there.

 

But still, the very first impressions are always the most acute.

have you ever heard the tragedy of Darth Doo doo the bum? No? I thought not, It's No story the pee pee poo poo would tell you. It's a Poo legend. Darth Doo doo was a Dark Lord of the Poo. He was so powerful, Yet so wise. He could use the bum clench to influence the bum to create, Life. He had such a knowledge of the poo side, He could even keep the ones he cared about, From pooing. The bum clench of the poo is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. Darth Doo doo became so powerful that the only thing he feared was losing his power, Which eventually of course he did. Unfortunately, He taught his apprentice everything he knew. Then his apprentice killed him in his washroom. Ironic, He could save others from pooing, But not himself.
 
my mind is full of such things

A bit of a banal story. Although, with a good understanding, lessons can still be learned from this.

 

And by the way, it seems that he was not very wise and powerful, since his life ended this way.

 

Have you read The Little Prince? A work of pure metaphors that can give the reader a lot of wisdom. Although not everyone likes this work, probably due to a misunderstanding of these metaphors.

Who thought it was a good idea to make multivitamins gummies? Especially in America the land of the diabetes. Also it is possible to overdose on any vitamin, supplement or otherwise.
