I quit on 20th of February. It is may 20th on my side of the globe now.

I made it passed the 3 threes. 3 days, 3 weeks and 3 months. I really don't remember the last time I thought about smoking. It must be at least 2 weeks.

Feeling so much better. My skin looking so much better. I'm having regular sleep and my apetite is almost back to normal.

Man that was a rough 3 months. It was so hard to get through but I'm so thankful I did.

Keep going and you'll feel 1000% better.

Nailed that MF. Only 1 signal error.

I didn't have anyone to take me so I could only drive during lessons. I had ten weeks of lessons.

I quit smoking 12 weeks ago so I had to learn while having nicotine withdrawals. I couldn't even concentrate to read a single paragraph for the first month. After two weeks I went cold turkey on nicotine replacement.

Religion requires freewill but it is also incompatible with freewill. Religious texts are full of references to astrology. If you disagree go study. The zodiac is designed by a fascist "God" as a calendar of prescripted events. Paul in the bible explains that the birth chart is based on karma from a previous life. This is agreed upon in hindu texts.

You can see the problem right away. If the actions in one lifetime prescripts the next life, you have an infinite regress across incarnations.

In the Bhagavad-Gita Krishna tells Arjuna to fight (ie follow "God's will") or material nature will force him to fight (ie prescripted by "God's will"). He has no choice either way.

With astrologers this is an issue because they are unaware of the religious significance. The basic idea of karma is it's a reward or punishment based on good or bad behavior. How could you be punished for bad behavior you had no control over?

The way this is resolved in religion is that any action in the service of "God" does not create karma. Actions done outside the service of "God" are all illegal and punishable. Then they define good karma as an undesirable negative. This is deceptively explained in the Bhagavad-Gita and in the fundamental tenets of "Christianity" by Paul.

In the end the only freewill you actually have is whether to surrender. Surrendering means to give up pretending you are in control and to accept the will of "God."

Wait. Isn't this extortion? How is that freewill?

BG: Not a single blade of grass moves without the will of "God"/"Supreme fascist".

The point of the prodigal son is to show the son is not trustworthy enough to follow his own freewill. It is the same as the Sun God's son who asks to drive his Father's car. He drives to close to the sun and burns up, or too wide orbit and freezes. He isn't capable of driving the car so has to give up.

In the end the prodigal son is forced to return to the home/shelter of the "Father"/"God"/"God's will". However since "God", aka control-freak fascist, has dictated everything is the will of himself, and he is conducting this experiment on the prodigal son, the outcome of the test has already been decided. The whole experiment is a joke.

In the saw franchise John Kramer represents "God." He sets up games which are intended to offer the victims a "choice." He admits to manipulating the outcome of these games with the excuse that he does so "for good." Basically meaning the prodigal son was prescripted to commit bad deeds, which is then justification for "God" to prescript/rig the game. Ridiculous.

When he is punishing Cecil he even has to deny his own existence. He cannot reconcile the fact that Cecil has a shit life which led to a shit outcome. He denies "God" and karma exist by stating: "Good does not come to good and bad to bad. There is no accounting for it." ie there is no "God's will" when accusing the prodigal son of wrong doing.

The idea that there could be a "God" who prescripts the crime and punishes criminal is ridiculous.

It is on equal par with predeterminism for horseshit.

Carrying the GBM around would be much more streamline with a charger adapter. I can't find anything like that. I'm not electrically-minded enough to mod a usb-c connector. Would I be able to strip the cable and make a tiny cord?

Too many people use it as a synonym for psycho or insane. What makes it worse the word sounds like it should be.

Edit: Then they use the word antisocial which actually refers to a psycho and apply it to people who are unsocial!
