Ever since our bin had a maggot explosion I have been less interested in eating rice 

Maggots are keto friendly, you’re all good.

As for drug addicts, just decriminalise drugs and do what Portugal does (it works).

I didn't mean the addiction or alcoholism was a problem in itself and I definitely didn't mean a kind of regular substance abuser, but for example the kind of alcoholic who's been drinking for years or decades and if put in an apartment trashes the toilet seat in bathroom, then shits in the bedroom and sets up a campfire in the living room. Somebody who really is so fucked up already that they just can't live indoors anymore. They are a bit beyond help even with the most progressive social security or basic income system. The options that are remaining are involuntary treatment or prison but in Finland you can't get neither if you're just seriously fucked up. Either you need to be threat to yourself or someone else or commit some serious crime.

They belong into some form of sheltered housing scheme/assisted living where they are left alone except they have access to some social life if they like and also access to help if they decide themselves they need it, with shared bathrooms and kitchens. Most have some psychiatric problems on top of the alcohol addiction and generally never learned the basics of being a human in a society, like how to deal with emotions, how to trust others, how to keep hygiene, etc.. I agree, that it's difficult to reach everybody, I'm sure if an institution like I imagine it existed (basically some sort of fancy homeless shelter where there is the possibility to get a permanent room) there would still be some people who wouldn't want to live there and do other things. But they know that if they are having a really hard time they can get into a shelter where they get help (one that doesn't stink like piss where they have to share a container with 20 other yelling and snoring alcoholics, where the doors are locked and they have to ask a keeper to get in our out, a huge thing for a lot of people). I think there just need to be better ideas/architectures for modern homeless shelters

I feel like we live in an age where independent or divergent thought or opinion is scorned even on a subconscious level. Conformity is pretty much the norm. And this seems to coincide with trends of neo-fascism. Orwellian times innit.

Then again I'm probably just talking out of my ass again.

Next time you’re out & about and you hear a wood pigeon call, sing these lyrics to the tune...

MORE TEA PLEASE BETTY

MORE TEA PLEASE BETTY

MORE TEA PLEASE BETTY

You won’t be disappointed. It’s a total ear worm. You’re welcome. 

Society rewards people with psychopathic traits far too much. Until humanity does something about it, things will only get worse.

i hate abba with a burning passion

this happened to me last summer. turns out those biodegradable bin bags biodegraded before the bins got collected

So the maggots come from where? They come from outside the bin? Mosquitos lay their eggs in the leftovers of food inside the trash bin? I ask this cause i used to have infestations of really tiny mosquitoes inside the trash bin and I always believed that they'd been born inside from maggots inside fruit? The mosquitoes came from inside the bin only when I opened it that's why i thought they'd been born inside... Maybe it's a looo... One Mosquito goes in, lays some eggs, and after a while there's tons of them inside the bin... This is an existencial matter to me, please explain... 

listening to radio Wales. Love all those Northern accents.

all it takes is 1 landing on any of the contents in the garbage and laying eggs

"Oh yeah? And you talk like a fag and you're shit's all retarded..."

So yesterday a song by Madonna popped up in my mind around the time i woke but later when i wanted to remind which was it to post it in the Madonna thread i couldn't recall it... 

Fun thing, this morning around the same time the song popped up in my mind again... Mind blown... 

This just goes to show that sometimes we use our brain voluntarily to do something and other times the brain does it for you without you even ask for it... A bit like what Karl Pilkington said in his show, sometimes you're just walking down the street and your brain reminds you that you need onions... 

The Ancient Greeks . It was like a small town wasn't it? Outdoor home schooling with Plato. They all knew each other. 

Recently I saw a bumper sticker that read:

"No baby on board.  Go ahead and run into the back of my car."  

I think about it often.

*But I change the phrasing slightly every time.  I believe what I actually saw was this:

What if i told you innit?
