Survival mentality. Hope

[Drinkthekoolaid]

I found this (albeit very cruel) experiment totally fascinating.


I think it's really a practical lesson that there is an instinct subconscious to do all possible to survive if the person/animal thinks there is hope to survive.

Once the person/animal loses hope then they're done for.

My wife domesticated me long ago. Guess I'm a survivor.

That's because they told us no for years and we ignore them. They've trained us to be pig headed and stubborn. Government has no power over us compared to our wives.

Why do you think government wants to break up the institution of marriage and promote single parenthood?

I have been in situations in my life in which faith kept me going.

Not the religious type faith; faith of knowing that I was not destined to fail at that moment.

Faith that there was more waiting for me.

Faith that the gods did not want me yet.

I am here to type now because I had the want, the desire and the will to continue.

I still have hope and I still have faith that there is more yet to come.

Hope and faith, hmmmmm, where have I heard that before? Certainly not from Harvard.

At least not from their new satanic head Chaplain anyway.....

Hope in one hand, shit in the other.
Hope leads nowhere.

Hope is the laser that cuts through despair!

I knew those two (Hope and Faith) and their sister Grace while growing up, all fine looking ladies!

Big difference between hope and wishes

Big difference between hope and wishes

They're worth about the same to me. Neither have done me any service.

Been thinking about this thread and Covid. Watching the people wearing mask in non common sense situations, mask addicts, are these people who have given up hope?

Yeah, walked out of the supermarket yesterday and a young guy and a gal all masked up were about to enter, took one look at my wife and I, gave us a wiiiiide berth, like ten feet. Felt a bit sorry for them, even though I un consciously muttered 'dumb ass' as I exited.

Resistance to unjust laws can breed hope.

Pine Tree Riot - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

The Pine Tree Riot was a test of the British royal authority which is partially evident by the light fines exacted against the rioters.[9] It is believed this helped to inspire the Boston Tea Party, as Connie Evans explains in their 2017 book, It showed that British rule was defiable.[1][9]

Ten feet?!?!

Six feet, even three feet where six isn't convenient, would have kept everyone safe.

It is a shame people won't trust the science.

Maybe they are hyper susceptible to viruses and their booster shots haven't kicked in yet.

You should go get tested and quarantine for a year, even if the results come back fake.

Woman at the hospital asked if I'd had covid. I said, I don't know. She looked at me like I farted out loud and it smelled real bad, then asked again. I said How the fuck should I know. She gave me a mask and said go on in.
