You are lucky this is all the Gore i can sustain.

“You are entering the vicinity of an area adjacent to a location.
The kind of place where there might be a monster, or some kind of weird mirror.
These are just examples; it could also be something much better.
Prepare to enter The Scary Door.”

• Futurama

And the original behind The Scary Door:

“You’re traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind.
A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination.
That’s the signpost up ahead - your next stop, the Twilight Zone!”

Or:

“There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man.
It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity.
It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge.”

There’s one or two more intro texts.

Fuck no

(Everything you are about to read, put a grain of salt in it, and go read about the system of work in the Inca empire and connections to communism. I’m not saying it was the same thou)

The Inca empire functioned something like this.
And why they where successful.
The people did all sorts of work, throught the year and in turns.
So all shared the labor and the benefits of the labor.

There was still the central “state” in the emperor dictating what to do and when to do it. But i think AI will replace that in the future saying where the production needs to go (besides olygarchies, a problem of capitalism is inefficiency, a lot of food going to waste instead to the millions going through hunger. Vacant mansions while people sleep in the streets).

I don’t work because of money.
I need it, I live in a capitalist system.
But i work in public function, I do a lot of schedules in the public pools, the public gym, and the cultural center with theater, exposions, cinema and also the school gym after hours with sport teams from associations and clubs.

I clean in most of those places, receptionist work in all, have the keys to everything (they trust me).

All this to say:

Do to to the system we live in and all the shit I went through (disease, deaths in the family) i have a depression.
I am taking medication and see a doctor.
But the work, helps me get throught it better.

I wake in the morning to open the place I have on schedule, besides the depression, to assist, and serve and connect.

I do a lot of places and/or schedules that no one wants, holidays, some weekends.
That gives me a lot of extra hours.
I take time went i need. Mostly when my grandma needs 😁

I dont get paid extra, and i don’t care, but i always try to show perspective to people.
Be it here or in the everyday life.

I remeber being afraid of factory automation and what that would do to the work force, specially in my town, where hundreds or a few thousands work in factories.

What and idiot…those people could live their lifes. Enjoy it, the factory itself produces the products.
Even better, if i need a door for the car I downloaded in the comunal printer 10 years ago, or the one i have at home, I just print another door, recycling the material of the damaged one.

But it’s difficult to make people understand what communism even is, when they think the capitalist factory of the world where Apple produces their planed obsulence products and workers, wich are not owner of the means off production, and hrow themselves from the factory roofs wich such frequency, that they put webs to catch them…is comunist…where the f### is China commist.

Don’t words have meaning?
I’m sorry.
Stay safe everyone.

Portugal here.

Safe to drink tap water everywhere, as far as I know, and public fountains (they usually have a metal sheet saying if it is potable or “not tested regularly”.
Depends on the Municipality/Town Halls.
Where I live we have like 5 or 6 public fountains per square km, some with public tanks to wash cloths like old school).

Story time tough, and applicable to the conversation:

I went through a Leukemia and the marrow transplant.
5 months after the transplant I went to Lisbon (I live in the north) to see family.
I took a shower after arriving, and my skin reacted very poorly.
The reaction was so strong, the transplant almost didn’t take.
I had to take high doses of cortisol (and other treatments) that fucked up my bones (3 protheses now. Right elbow and the 2 femur heads)

The doctors in IPO (oncology hospital) explained that the skin is the biggest organ in the body and where i live the terrain is more Granitic in nature, my skin was used to water here in the north, and the further south you go in Portugal, the more Calcaric (limestone/calcário) it is.
People in Lisbon have to use “Calgon” (product) in the washing machines, to clean the build up of limestone.
But they themselves are used to it.

People of the north (of course it depends on the person) showering in the south, tend to have dry skin and hair after the shower.

I’m sorry for the testament.
But it’s knowledge.
Stay safe.
