Who wants their own little spot to be popular, though? That immediately ruins it.

It's layered.

At the base level it's just a mix of a kind of old tv static and what sounds like a creek bubbling. It's the pre-verbalization soup- textured with sub-thoughts, half-impulses, emotional currents. It's noticeable background noise but not particularly loud.

Above that is another layer of multiple streams of wordage. Just kind of nonsensical whispers that flow around non-stop. Sometimes there are also impressions of images but nothing definitive. Emotional tones are strongest here.

Above that is the focused wordage, or the internal monologue. Usually it's proposed point or observation by one "me" and counter-point or add-on by another "me". There's no set number of "me"s. Occasionally it's a construct of some other people I know. Just tangential rambling in incomplete sentences mostly unless I am really trying to sort something out, then it's more structured. There's a part of my mind that seems to calculate the conclusion to what I am mentally verbalizing that is one step ahead of the words so often there isn't a need to complete a thought. This is also where the music and images play.

There is one more layer above all that, the working space, when I really focus, all the other layers fade from consciousness, words are clear, sharp, and coherent and the back-and-forth feels more like a unified "me", it's also where I deliberately create and manipulate mental images, movies, concoct scenarios and music plays the clearest.

The real question is "When a female transforms into her werewolf form, does she also sprout 8 more tiddies?"

Fuck 'em, that's what I learned.

Yeah, like every day when I drag my ass out of bed to go to work, look around and think "this is a bunch of bullshit"

That's a manga I would read

That's awesome.

Also, a huge fan of putting casters on pretty much everything.

I don't know if I can handle another one

I saw it in the theater as a teenager. I thought it was hilarious. Saw it again 15 years later and was like "this is trash, how did I like this?" Last rewatch I was like "the camp is actually brilliant."

"There was such a potential for all of us to live brilliant, flourishing, fulfilling lives."

No there wasn't. That's just part of the illusion they sell you. The entire thing is just a shakey extension into the sky built upon a foundation it continues to havest from to give the impression of growth. It was only great for a few of us and it could never last.

I do agree with your sentiment and feel like if humans weren't the way we are we could still build a global paradise.

But that's not the way humans operate.

Lol, first time?

You should read up on how we did Sadam. The US diplo April Glass gave tacit approval for his occupation of Kuwait and we then used that as a reason to retaliate and stabbed him in the back to get the oil.

Even better, you should look up how we completely fabricated a boogeyman out of Gaddafi.

Everything that reaches the ears of the public is a lie.
