Ship him to me (USA) and I'll let him loose on the downside of the nearby Blue Ridge parkway, he'll be living in Heaven!

Dudes are facing some real propaganda pressure from the media to get jabbed:

Chicks don't want a pussy full of spike protein, so those boners will have to bone each other. Chicks all flock to pureblood studs. Jabbers only have each other, homosexuality increases, commies are happier. World goes to shit while the unmandated, unjabbed congress, WH, supremes, and all their staff laugh their asses off.
Go get jabbed boyz, do it for your libido. Why has congress and the supremes not mandated themselves?
It's my 2 month anniversary of being back on IC. I have been enjoying doing my little grow show here. Thanks for having me and keeping the lights on all these years![]()
It is cynical and terrible and it seems to be what is happening. - Robert Baer
Breed Your Curiosity
Cynicism tends to make you close-minded, and that means it's often difficult to pay attention to the world. When everything sucks, curiosity falls to the wayside, and that makes being creative difficult.
To help foster my own curiosity, I've taken on Jason Fried's advice to give ideas five minutes before I react to them. This has the dual effect of soaking out my default negativity and breeding my curiosity by forcing me to ask questions. Fried explains how it clicked for him:...I pushed back at him about the talk he gave. While he was making his points on stage, I was taking an inventory of the things I didn't agree with. And when presented with an opportunity to speak with him, I quickly pushed back at some of his ideas. I must have seemed like such an asshole.
His response changed my life. It was a simple thing. He said "Man, give it five minutes." I asked him what he meant by that? He said, it's fine to disagree, it's fine to push back, it's great to have strong opinions and beliefs, but give my ideas some time to set in before you're sure you want to argue against them. "Five minutes" represented "think", not react. He was totally right. I came into the discussion looking to prove something, not learn something.
This was a big moment for me...There's also a difference between asking questions and pushing back. Pushing back means you already think you know. Asking questions means you want to know. Ask more questions.
Asking questions and being curious is tantamount to critical and creative thinking. I've noticed that the less time I focus on my snarky, cynical responses, the more likely I'll have an actually useful idea. I also tend to pay more attention to the world around me and stop to appreciate the creativity of others.
