Facebook and other platforms are becoming more and more boring. You click like or love on something and they just troll you with more and more of it. They take it away from joyful discovery into hawking hard sail.
Today I wrote a comment on a black and white art. Tomorrow my home page will be busy with black and white. If i click on anything just open the picture they will just rush with 76000 post of the same.
When I lived in a place with no global market online it was a way of life.
It was so good to see the world. Now with all the intrusive adds and paid promotions.
Is it really working? Is it worth it? Is there anyway that people still spend time online with this Wallstreet hauling way of marketing?

but also where can i buy honey nugs??📺 Watch Black Mirror: Common People on NetflixWatch on Netflix: https://www.netflix.com/title/81651202Still haven’t sub...

May You Rest in Pines

Dedicated to all of us who are burnt, physically or mentally, by the dragon who is constantly taking over the world.

The dragon has no shadow that you can hide under, and it leaves no trees to hide under.
Survive if you can.
Surviving is the heroic act of our time.

Curiosity is dangerous they say.
Questions lead you to the limits of your own existence and when you go beyond the boundaries of physicality, it's really hard to grasp the norms of a society built on fear.
Fear of hunger, cold, heat, abuse, loneliness, violence.
You start to realize that every value in human societies was built on fear of something!
But the biggest factor is the fear from "THE OTHERS"
All religious sects and groups and political parties have built it's own social structure on this key stone!
And the more you are aware, the more isolated you are, and you start to lose gravity and float back to the womb where every thing started.

U.A.E tea

Is that English? I feel like my ears are malfunctioning
O this person is actually speaking some kind of Arabic
I just have some bug in my ear
No, it is not Arabic nor English it is Urdu, it is known!

Here in UAE you find out about the river of language
Grammar is your least worry.
What grammar?
What you need to worry about are the sounds, mouths, and throats of many peoples and the way they adapt those 2 major official languages Arabic and English to their vocal cords and facial muscles.

You learn Urdu only to find out that this Pakistani looking taxi driver doesn’t know it, he speaks Pashto.
If you put all the effort in learning Hindi, you’ll be stranded in Um Al Quwain shops because Indians there speak Malayalam.
And I’m only touching the surface here, Spanish can help you with the Filipinos, don’t make the Filipinos sad, that is not good for you. You can’t figure Tagalog stick to Spanish and be nice or you will have a bad day.
Aww you think you’re a native Arabic speaker and this is an Arab place, fat chance Rock star, you will know better soon, one angry parent at school, or a customer in a shop, will make you realize that you barely get on with your regional slang and some of those who hold passports from the same country as yours have their own way of Arabic, glittered with the remnants of Turkish, Turkic, Syriac, Coptic, Assyrian, Kurdish, Aramaic, Amharic, Greek, French, Latin, and the list of add-ons is longer than the one at Baskin Robins shop.
Don’t worry
If you are standing face to face with this guy and you are frustrated because you can’t speak each other’s English, Arabic, Urdu, or Hindi, get some Karak tea.
Spellcheckers don't recognize (Karak) but here in the busy streets of UAE you can always smile and say (Karak?) the other person will nod and then you will find some way to bridge the gap

New way same old fragments. We don't matter on a personal level, not on a large scale, we matter for 2 to 3 people most, the rest is extra, what matters is the whole collective of us, the different ways we combine through our differences
