My immediate genuine reaction of "omg no I love bananas" shows 3 things: 1) I really love bananas a lot 2) enough to "worry" about this simply by the headline 3) which I think was the first thing to really slip by my hardened shell of immediate skepticism in a while, lol...I know lots of shit is going really bad in the world, but it's not every day I fear for my lifestyle...

If it's true, oh well, I've heard humans have similar DNA to bananas so they'll probably just start harvesting us to create 'nanas ;-P

PS I'm not sharing my banana nice cream recipes because then you guys will eat all my bananas

PPS jk -- freeze chunked (and then mashed in the bag for best results) bananas for like a day or less and then experiment by blending in (or if you're me just lazily smooshing in) delicious milks like protein nutmilk and powders like powdered pb or strawb carnation, or whatever tf makes you happy because this treat will!!! So yummy lol

Interesting... But, I kinda found this part weird:

"62% of the survey respondents indicated an overheating economy tied with the tightening of the Federal Reserve interest rates as reasons things will get worse."

Mkay a) "overheating econony"? What even is that lol, describing it that way makes it sound obviously bad... but, it just sounds like a shitty excuse...the capitalists whining about too much consuming? Ok....

And, b) this feels meant to both discourage change/approval of change (here re: the fed) and discourage attention to the fed's interest rates... while also kinda acknowledging recessions are inevitable overall

Even if this is factual (then yes of course it's horrible), it's still being spread for propaganda/fear mongering/race blame etc. and conveniently distracts from the way more powerful, "secret", and controlling people committing these same crimes bigger scale...but if we pay attention to these bumbling idiots, maybe we'll forget about the elite's crimes...?

I agree, so weird, this article was a TRIP! In all openness, I had to skim the last part to save myself. I'm amazed at the terribleness... My initial reaction is "yyeeeahh suuure ok prettyboy" (and I can say that because I'm a girl and I do think he's pretty in that pic lol mkay irrelevant).

And then, as I was reading, a new-to-me idea occurred... I agree it seems like disinformation/propaganda... this piece seemed heavily persuasive and seemed to be written for a younger audience... I'm 28, and the "author" looks close enough to my age, but this crapola was obviously written for teens/early 20s... especially with the uncertainty he's always oozing...I call bs but I still learned something!

Edit: added "suuure" to further emphasize sarcasm

Nice, and thank you, your comment totally just reminded me that I was supposed to finally get, after tracking down, that whole CD from interlibrary loan like almost 3 years ago now haha, and I don't even remember what all happened with that, so putting that album on my radar again, thanks! The more I think about it, I must have failed to pick it up within the library's time frame...lol, if one would have told Childhood Me that Grown Up Me would not only be even more dorky greedy with getting stuff from the library than kid me, but alsoooo be just as irresponsible and chronically late-fee-addled as ever... then I miiight have laughed at that, but it is apparently all true! :) Yeah, I freaking love libraries, and dancehall reggae while we're on that subject, lol.

Also did you look into Buju's story too? I just think it's weird and interesting and... maybe fishy/sketchy? But not solely due to him - is my impression... granted, I've only done a little research, not a ton.

PS Sometimes rambling is cathartic and so that, combined with the "bonus" time for my editing, was baaasically a lil therapy session for me today, so again thanks to all reading this! :)

A couple minutes/maybe just one min. later a TV had the alert too. Lol the end.

I'm not really sure what to feel about the alert thing either, except this: that weird line in the article I read that, to me, was too vague in stating something along the lines of "if circumstances arise" it will be postponed?? What?

This morning I had a creepy feeling for a sec while thinking/talking about that and the line that stuck with me (obviously the sentiment I took, not the exact wording), and in that creepy moment I was basically like "omg, what if... there's an event?!" Which I DO NOT like even thinking OR saying here...ugh.

And then there was that workplace shooting. Coincidence likely but.... not cool.

Yesss so I did basically understand! I'm getting a hang of this...lol. Thank you! If you want to answer, what's your advice about how to weather this next economic storm? In 2008, I was in college, and, now, in 2018, I'm a prime example... swimming in unpayable student debt including my masters degree, and a slave to my (although loved and appreciated by me) social work career :)

Edit: fixed end that was chopped off

“I feel like the rate hikes are a good thing for the economy and markets. The longer-term rates have not risen as much as the shorter-term rates, which means CD and short-term investors really experienced a raise in the income they receive from savings.”

To me this sounds like it's benefiting the "new middle class" of 6 figure incomes... and people with savings and investors, that's privileged people too!

My first question was 'how's this gonna fuck us' lol, and soo, is it gonna help everyone default /default worse/get screwed on student loans primarily, and other debt, and then let the Fed need bailout for those loans that don't come back that they're counting on?? Kinda?

Aaand lastly, there it is: ...The primary cost to consumers is that borrowing money is more expensive and will continue to become more expensive if the Fed continues to increase rates.”

And yet, to make any money, you basically HAVE to get loans... thanks, Fed, idek anymore.

Thoughts before reading: that sounds so effing creepy in so many ways! But, I mean, sure, if molly was included in my hypothetical universal basic income monthly package deal, I would probably not be paying much attention to much else

Hm. I haven't looked it (whatever technology or whatever) up, but I've been on Instagram for some years, and some time in the last couple years, I swear Instagram will group posts together if they are similar... which I find creepy and weird. And I wonder if this site selects stories that promote the same agenda or narrative, or if there are opposing viewpoints presented.

Lol so, full disclosure, my delay in replying was from me typing out, and then losing to the ether land, said typed reply, twice, and then from me of course bitterly ignoring this whole site for a few days lol...so, just know, to me, this comment's glory can never compare in its essence to my first... and second attempts haha. Anyways - that's so awesome that you work in a library!! And glad you like it. I picture there being no drama in that life, the library life, lol nothing too annoying or partisan or real-world-loaded usually happens in libraries in my world... And I love the distinct lack of pressure and expectations in a library, like you can just sit there and that's fine. You can get books or not... You could even open a book, sit there, and not read it... Lol, for real though, I could, but won't, go on and be detailed in my deep-rooted love of libraries :-D Also, I feel like there's an alternate universe out there where a chiller and softer spoken Me is a happy librarian - in a universe where I don't struggle to put together normal people outfits like jeans and a regular top and supportive shoes, and where I still have the nice careful handwriting which my mom loved and which she lamented my giving up on in my obvious favor of my current writing style (spastic, cramp your hand, bail-at-the-end-of-words, style-change-midway-through-sentence, handwriting), and where I, calmly and without incident, cook and bake for fun or something... and that's a fun thought, that Madame Libraaaaarian Me! Lol.

And yeah, I too wonder about Buju's possible set up... and maybe other misunderstandings of his early music, I dunno.

PS Thanks for reading my rambles again!

I went to a party with so-called "close friends", had an odd night where I felt exposed to dangerous ideals, and observed disturbing things, and now *my life* is upside down and *I'm* betrayed. by Goober_notorious2 in conspiracy

Hmm...I'll mostly take it. First though, oops, somehow, I just now saw your comment, so I'm sorry I'm kiiind of late back in this game although I'm still kinda affected by everything so I'm not really late to my life at all, haha. But okay - I will take your "assessment" if you will, of my "naive outlook", because, well, yeah...fair enough, I am pretty naive, and OK I would agree that overall I did "merely" encounter "mean spirited but otherwise normal people" but... There's more to it, people!! Just tryna ultimately say fuuucckkk cuz evil is gross.

But - humbly - more importantly: thank you, you are indeed correct that it could have, certainly in the world we're in, been a way way worse occurrence for me overall in the big picture... and I subsequently stand corrected because I myself did overlook such/any gratitude and wider perspective in the situation, and, as gratitude and positivity are the actual things I am trying to pay more attention to for working on myself, I really do appreciate you drawing attention to big pic perspectives and bigger issues like safety in the moment etc.. So, once again, I have learned and it wasn't easy......And I feel all embarrassed and wise. (Ugh I have to say all this -- I'm embarrassed for being a whiny bitch at life, but not embarrassed about the original situation at all, and I'm not taking any blame, and not giving up my ground to evil, and thus this comment should not be interpreted any further as me "realizing I played a role or deserve it" or anything whatsoever at all in the devilish fuckery that ensued! In fact, In this situation, I hold true that it was actually partly thanks to my own naivete and to my (still remaining, I'll acknowledge work needing to be done ) sweetness/"goodness" that ultimately, in these events that occurred and in life, help protect me and separated and still separate me from the evil )

*********EDIT: Oh! I forgot until now - Since my original post, I had (after time, a little research, some realizations, and after soul-searching/recollection and the analysis of significant/pertinent info/current "vibes" etc. (No drugs, I know that might have sounded like it, haha)) come up with a self-compiled working "Franken-theory" stating that: if/AS different dimensions exist simultaneously in our universe, there is, therefore, in each individual (existing in each dimension at the same time, on different timelines and experiencing alternate realities) the prescence of some amount (including none) of evil, which is "technically" measurable in its varying degrees *(as would then be the case with any/all other traits and characteristics, and, as is conceptually comparable to the already familar "smaller scale", or maybe micro level, spectrums of traits present wholly/solely within singular (self-contained? Lol) individuals within any one dimension) thus potentially/theoretically/hypothetically representing/creating a spectrum of the person's evil across the dimensions and their realities. (Yes, that's a whole scary rabbit hole that I'm not diving down atm). Soooo... I dunno, that's that first of all, and I further speculate that perhaps recently CERN was "ran" or whatnot, and (this time?) if running the collider did not open a new dimension, perhaps, this time, running it might have caused "lesser" dimensional shifts or merges/combinations, or like jolts in the realities, and perhaps CERN can/did even close out a dimension. So, obviously, effing around with our dimensions causes many possible upheavel problems - for example, the last part of my theory is that, potentially, someone's "evil levels" could "go up" (not only as a "regular" part of life in one's normal reality, but also) due to these potential dimensional disruptions - maybe such as the combining of two dimensions that were close enough together in time for the universe to be able to "pull off a smoosh-together", however there will always be seams there, and maybe if an individual was already flagging higher on the "evil scale", then they in particular could get "way worse/more evil" with any change to reality, even unnoticed changes.

And...yeah! Thanks! Just a side note: It wasn't only the one isolated event from my original post that lead to this "whole theory", but rather, I applied my prexisting beliefs/knowledge/research initially to that event, then to the fallout, and used logical-emotional (lol I can say both to be fair and to add the salt grain myself) analysis of the time/situations/vibes leading up to events etc, and I included as evidence (yes, to myself!) other weird events and info after...but anyways, there's improvement, I now believe we are back out of the "Twilight Zone period" that I kinda think we slipped in and out of - hence my "maybe it was as dimensions went askew there"....shrug call me crazy! :)
