The best days are those that fly!

Whenever I try to get a good grasp on the moment I always realize that our western dependance on the clock is very much hindering. There are many civilizations that don't rely on time measurement who still end up doing fine and end up a lot happier, too.

I don't necessarily mind the days that fly by it's just that I often feel like I wasted them by not really doing anything in particular =P

You mean, tribes that are lost in the forest in Africa or the rainforest?
Well, I don't envy them, they live hard, unstable and precarious lives and I wouldn't assume they are happier ^^"
I'd say we depend on the clock because we are trying to fit too many things in a same day!

I guess?
I kinda got inspired by people talking about how they have experimented with these types of lifestyles (not relying on the clock, for example). They seemed to have made some good experiences with it. Though, it also needs to be stated that they're also self-employed. They don't need to obey to people's rules other than themselves most of the time. ^^"

Lol abacus. Nothing competes with the good old ten finger system! :P

Honestly one should just ask Cooler to count so you can blame him when things go wrong 😉

Let's count on Cooler's count.

But I have only six!

Maybe add the bottom pieces of your dress into the count? 🤔
or the fingers of your fallen enemies 😈

You could also just use Hypnosis to put someone to sleep and count on their fingers instead.

StCooler April 10th, 2023 5:24 PM

241 414

Fun fact: I've tried to get hypnotized and it didn't work on me ^^"

Megan April 11th, 2023 2:05 AM

241 415

Isn't hypnosis a thing that only works if you believe in it? I don't really trust that stuff.

ReKoil April 11th, 2023 7:07 AM

241 416

I've never tried it. Don't really believe in it either.

_confused_piplup_ April 11th, 2023 9:31 PM

241 417

I will probably follow an hypnosis course at some point lol. I wanna learn how to do that. Anyway all I know is that there's a lot of misconception around it.

StCooler April 11th, 2023 11:35 PM

As far as I understand, it is not a magic thing, but rather, the target is "feeling" so much social pressure to "obey" the hypnotist that their brain is basically obeying without question. That's why it doesn't work on everyone, not everyone feels so much pressure.

ReKoil April 12th, 2023 8:36 AM

241 419

Social pressure huh... yeah that tends to be ineffective on me =P

I'm probably seen as a huge jerk irl for not wanting to follow certain traditions. Like throwing birthday parties. Why should I throw money at people I don't like so they can eat and drink on my behalf if I don't even like being alife, let alone had a birthday. And why do I need to buy Christmas presents for people I only meet like once or twice a year?

Okay, that's it, you've posted some things around this site that I've nodded my head at quite a few times, but this? This I literally couldn't agree with more.
I'm made to feel like a jack*** whenever I have to tell someone not to buy me anything for some stupid holiday that I don't even celibrate.
Much less try to think of some rudimentary 'object' to 'prove' that I 'really know them' or whatever the hell when they do! Seriously, **** that.

Let me buy someone a gift on my own time, for someone that I actually like, for just being a decent person. Not for some dumb*** 'Tradition'.

ReKoil April 13th, 2023 5:40 AM

Depends on the holiday for me. I quite like Christmas.
I don't do Christmas gifts every year anymore though. My brother and his wife are like rabbits and my wallet can't handle all the new additions if I keep doing it yearly xD

StCooler April 13th, 2023 5:18 PM

241 423

I've been away from my family for like 7 years in a row so I've spent most of my Christmas's alone, so no money wasted on presents :coolcat:
I even forget my own birthday lol.

_confused_piplup_ April 13th, 2023 6:53 PM

241 424

Is it today perhaps? Lol

StCooler is the gift that keeps on giving. Except for himself
