How I FEEL About Race.

I don't like racism. Though I make racist jokes. I try not to. But sometimes I want to display how clever I think I am.

I try to push back a little when people are being unironically racist. But I'm not a confrontational person.

I understand racism. I understand the frustration. We had a multiracial society forced upon us while some media keeps trying to get us to hate each other. I get "I hate you white man" messages forced down my throat like I'm a foix grass goose. I also get posts of immigrants committing crimes pushed in my face. But I realize it's a white billionaire behind those messages on my screens.

What goes in is what comes out.

White men have caused a lot of suffering. At the same time, I have no control over what people of my race and gender have done throughout history. White people may be rich because we exploit the global poor. At the same time, I was born into this and live paycheck to paycheck.

Opening our borders is impractical. We can't have 100M people in Belgium. But our western countries cause a lot of hardship across this tiny planet.

We search for identity and belonging. But we tend to fear and hate The Others, the opposite of that identity. The enemy. Some media likes to push those buttons.

I'm just going to try not to judge and to react with compassion.


peace

Reasons NOT To Subscribe To DeMorgen Newspaper.

Review of DeMorgen newspaper / news app. Review van DeMorgen krant / nieuws app. My apologies for this bleak post, but I want to warn people for their wallet and mental health. You won't find bad reviews because they get deleted. You can only review their app's functionality. You will find they won all sorts of awards for journalism. In my naivety I thought journalism meant facts. Their subscription deal is A SCAM. They don't tell you that you are on the hook for 3 years. That's hidden in the terms. And it takes just a few seconds to subscribe. I basically got scammed for about 600 EUROS. I keep downloading their app as a sunken cost fallacy, but it's bad for my mood and mental health. The first thing you will notice when you get your subscription: you get advertisements. That means you are the product they are selling. You will get push notifications sometimes 3 times per day with opinion pieces by immigrants about how evil white people are. The result is that you ...

The following is my ultimate Plant Based Hack: Simple Bean Soup. The outcome of 10 years of mistakes. I had to gain a lot of experience to end up with something very simple and easy. I lost over 30kg (66lbs) of FAT by adopting a Whole Foods Plant Based Diet and quitting alcohol. Without a medical intervention. Bean Soup makes healthy plant based living low effort. I always have this in the fridge, and it’s part of my daily routine. I learned from many thrown away Hello Fresh meal kits that elaborate cooking is a barrier for me. I decided not to go against my nature and make it easy on myself. !WARNING! Eating mostly whole plants is one of the best choices you can make to minimize the harm you do to our fellow animals, your body and the wildlife on this tiny dying planet. But you need to plan carefully and supplement. You need to eat a wide variety of Whole Grains, Legumes (Beans, Lentils), Dark Leafy Greens, Vegetables, Fruits, Nuts&Seeds, Herbs&Spices. You need to supplement. ...

Johnny Belgium’s Psychedelic Trip Guide (updated)

I started doing psychedelic drugs late in life at the age of 27 and I regret not doing them sooner. They saved me. I had a miserable life before psychedelics. I was anxious, depressed and antisocial. I was a recluse without a friend in the world. I was arguing with people in my head all day long at work, triggered by stuff on TV. I was a psychological mess. And my first LSD trip was like 20 years of therapy in one afternoon. Click here to read about my 'breakthrough' first acid trip. I have done lots of LSD and some Mushrooms. I haven’t done DMT, Ayahuasca, Mescaline,... LSD is my vice. I did MDMA twice and it made me very relaxed but also it made me very sick the day after. People often get depressed after taking XTC. I also recommend staying away from uppers or downers and sticking to psychedelics. No cocaine, no speed, no benzos or opiods like heroin or fentanyl, ... They are not good drugs. They will eff up your life. Stick to tripping if you are going to partake in drugs. ...
