This is definitely a core memory

“Please help me make their birthday memorable”

That’s exactly what comes to my mind whenever I hear people talk about how things are a conspiracy.

It depends how you look at it, predisposition can be seen to run counter to randomness, since you can then work out the likelihood of something happening a certain way. It turns out the odds to almost everything we do can be worked out based on factors, just look at the insurance industry.

If humans are pretty good at predicting what other humans will do, then surely God is on another level.

Still though, an individual can defy their predisposition in every way. To say that randomness doesn’t exist would mean to accept that beyond predisposition, everything we do is prescribed. I don’t think this is the case.

For an analogy, let’s say you had an aquarium. It’s interesting to watch the fish do fish things, you care about them and want to make sure they have the right conditions to thrive. You can be fairly certain of what the fish will do, but you can’t control it - and even if you could, there would be no fun in that.

I do

It is possible to successfully develop this skill, though it’s very hard.

This is an interesting question, long story short I thought I was dying for a few days a while back (I’m fine).

Knowing my time could be really limited completely changed my perspective on life, I almost instantly stopped caring about most things that were important or I was preoccupied with just a day earlier.

My thoughts were a bit all over the place, but overall I just wanted to spend the time I have left in the most meaningful way I could, with the people I love.

I bought a Michael Jackson vinyl bobblehead figurine for someone who really loves Michael Jackson, for Christmas.

I thought it was a pretty shit present but I didn’t know much else about this person. She literally cried of joy when she saw it and thanked me a million times. I think this is the happiest I’ve ever made someone with a present, and it was pretty inexpensive.

Men and women are predisposed towards different things. It doesn’t mean those things are exclusively for men or women, but overall men and women tend to have different interests. As the old adage goes, men care more about things, women care more about people.

So when a man is interested in things that women generally go for, those can be seen as feminine traits, and vice-versa.

It’s more of a spacing issue for me, if they don’t leave enough space by doing this then they are assholes. Sometimes everyone parks a bit to one side so you have to play along if you want to leave enough space.

S

People feeling entitled to my time or money.

That really is infuriating when you’re logical person. I can’t remember anything unless it makes sense.

Likewise, I value my time and sanity too much these days to put up with busses.

Do they land wherever I want them to?

Sounds like theater

There is one, you just have to pay extra

Because then it would be Star Wars
