  • Time to read yes

    For me its the attention amd focused I’ve got time, just not tje attention and motivation (I fantasize but procrastinate)

    I have been the 3rd or 4th dune book for about a year now (I have been on the last 50 pages or so for probably 6 montjs)

    I have resd the first half or so of Don Quixote about 3 times

    I habe now started to read Herodotus Histories for the 2nd time (didn’t finish last time stopped around half way thru Book 2)

    And I made the (fortuitous?) mistake of starting Hitch hikers Guide to the galaxy twice now and I did really enjoy it right off the bat, so that one might rise to the top of the list lol

    I have also begun reading Amadis of Gaul due to interest in Medeival Chicalry novels and I’ve yet to finish King Arthur (Mark Twain) whereat I only have maybe 100pgs left. (Not a good book, TBH but it gives some background to Quixote as does Amadis of Gaul

    LOTR is definitely also in this ridiculous list of want to reads. As is

    Divine Comedy Aeneid Decameron Pilgrims Progress Infinite Jest Grapes of Wrath Something by Ishiguro Metamorphosis etc etc etc

    I should make a post about this so.I can properly.vent instead of ‘hijacking comments’





  • The image presents us with a view of five organisms, implicitly these are cats. It has been said that when fire erupted in Ancient Egypt the citizens would have to stand guard aroind buildings, at intervals to prevent the cat from a ‘divine seizure’ as the cats would rush into the burning buildings, killing them. (Herodotus) Would that this were the case in our time, I ought do the same for these cats as your photograph has presented them in a kindly and genuine fashion such that I want not for them to burn or any other calamity.

    I quite like how they are seen to even exceed the politeness of many humans, they are socially distanced exquisitely, whereas many people-in my experience-are absent skills and politeness in small and/or large social settings. However, it has occurred to me that they are eating-which changes the view, at least a little.

    This was a nice thing for me to see today, Thanks

    Great post rabber

    I quite enjoy how their whiskers seem to cuddling eachothers daintily, but with a small amount of respectable distance given their head tilts.

    I also enjoyed the colors of the right side cat, it is quite striking, reminiscent of cookies and creme.

    Cat on the left appears to have slightly rounder/wider pupils which is isnt concerning, but an observation of mine which may or may not he correct.

    Thanks for sharing


  • That is very kind of you considering your neighbors privacy, we certainly could use some more of that in today’s age of fast-short-unfulfilling media (insta/tik tok).

    I certainly did not mean anything negative, I am just tying to contribute, and I quite like cats so I am trying to encourage those who are posting because it makes me a little bit less sad!

    My one and only cat-mane coon-- I had-I had for a short time. He was Benny. Father did not like him so much, one day he got out and no one did anything about it.

    I hope he was happier. He used to climb in bed and wake up with me before work at 4 or so A.M. I think he was an ‘aggressive lover’ maybe in the way he expressed himself, and thst caused some annoyance to the Father.

    Ill bet going outside for Miez was a very exciting part of his life, a new experience



  • I would like to have a coffee out on that yard with a cat so handsome as this one.

    Review: Scenery: 8/10 Great tree, beautiful color of foliage, perhaps the angle could expose more of the open space Subject: 9/10 Not too sure what would make it 10/10 but I think the cat expresses maturity, politeness, strength of health and bravery. It is a fearless organism worthy of respect. And he or she whom they love is also worthy of a similar respect.

    Thank you I enjoyed viewing this










  • I love Indoor climbing

    My gym has a few crack features, crack climbing is a niche within a niche. It is very different from face (‘regular’) rock climbing. It sucks yoyr energy out like typhoon would hit something with a lot of force. Feels like wrestling or mountain climbing (as opposed to rock climbing).

    It’s super fun though, its just very humbling for a face climber or a boulderer like myself.

    I would say most indoor climbers to not do crack. Crack is for outdoors people and then a lot outdoors people probably avoid crack as well.

    Me? When I do have a belay partner im jamming my hands in that crack and not even finishing, it feels grueling its very satisfying.


  • In school maybe but no. I did feel tired basically all day long.

    It did seem that the lecturing and teaching put me to sleep quite often.

    I do find without enough stimulation I am tired, unfocused, and unable to think sharply.

    With too much stimulation I am overwhelmed and become exhausted shortly after an exposure duration-it makes me feel a bit like I’ve got blinders on or I am ultra focused / aroused / stressed for a brief time and then collapse and cant think until I get a moment ( several hours) away from everyone and zone out


  • Ha well better late than never I suppose.

    Have you observed any improvements? You have had some treatment or currently undergoing some?

    I think the 2 things I currently identify with the biggest are: Autism- ‘bottom up thinking’ (i think is what its called) Wherein I tend to converse and think from specific ‘this is a woman drinking a coca cola in swimwear on a hot day’ as opposed to ‘this is an advertisement for coca cola, they are using the heat and the attractiveness of the woman to make an appeal’ if shown an advert for coke.

    ADHD- Not.being able to perform tasks unless there is an immediate consequence

    Both (maybe) Stimulation must be present at the right amount. Too much (a night club) and I start using a lot of energy, im stressed, im less social, I think less clearly, and I fatigue entirely soon after. Often becoming quite irritable and oddly mad at everyone for not being interesting or cool or lacking depth or something illogical.

    Hope its working out for you
