Hugs and random non-sex chat aka Our Court aka Hoes and Bros who empower each other

[MiaBabe23]

Hi,
If anyone is still awake/ already awake and in the mood for a random chat, say hi here
(Sorry, too many dms, can’t reply to everyone, say hi here!)
Think more along the lines of philosophy/ sports/ music/ politics / your topic of choice
Not sex chat, not leading anywhere, just a chance to flop on a beanbag and relax

 

[BornNorCal]

I'm up for a bit. Nice to make your acquaintance.

Hi Born, nice to meet you too

 

[BornNorCal]

Thank you. Either a chat here or private would suit me fine. I think we would have lots to talk about based on your areas of study.

 

[MiaBabe23]

Lol music and politics, the two great dividers? Where do you stand on each?

Guess can shift to dm if nobody else joins

 

[TXRafe]

hi mia, just wanted to say that i hope you had an enjoyable saturday and got the chance to rest your mind and soul today.

 

[MiaBabe23]

Thank you, Rafe. Definitely can’t say that’s true lol but thank you for being so kind

 

[TXRafe]

i have gotten a couple compliments actually, . im by no means a music expert. i just have a very wide range of musical taste. im a very auditory person and for me its all about the resonance of the singers voice. some people just hit the right spot. i don't know if i just have an ear for it and am uber sensitive but yeah, i do ok. while my degree is in american politics and law i don't think i can handle an open discussion on the subject. it's highly triggering, .

 

[MiaBabe23]

Yeah, get that completely - I can always find something from any genre that hits right
What’s your most favorite piece/ song to recommend?
Lol on politics, if you studied it with law, you have a balanced view, right? How would you improve the system?

 

[BornNorCal]

I have revisited and have been recommending to friends lately Bonobo's set at Royal Albert Hall for the 150th anniversary. Amazing live instrumentation.

 

[MiaBabe23]

I haven’t heard that set, but Bonobo slays
Hm not handling music well atm lol, is it worth risking finding?

 

[BornNorCal]

I think it is. It's chill and if you enjoy his music you will love it. YouTube has the full set. I'll link it if you struggle.

the dance party playlist on spotify is great and my usual go to along with the cardio playlist...a lot of dance pop and remixes or redos of popular songs. a lot of great voices and back bass including some 8k type accompaniment.

how would i fix the system? first and foremost the electoral college is completely outdated and needs to be scrapped for a true national popular vote. 1 person 1 vote. secondly we need congressional and judicial term limits to stop the kind of nonsense that has occurred over the last 15 years or so. thirdly certain issues need to be voted on through a national election rather than left to crooked politicians with personal agendas. obviously these are broad sweeping changes but you have to start somewhere. the system should be about fairness and representation to all, not the party in control, and certainly shouldnt favor persons because of their geographical location. we live in a geopolitical world with a global economy not 13 colonies. the country needs to move into the present and stop living in the past.

i feel baited and im sure ive said too much and will get yelled at, but you asked.

 

[MiaBabe23]

I actually agree with quite a bit of what you said, lol, especially on electoral reform
Which is funny because I presume from what you originally said that our political views are probably diametrically opposed, yet everyone is crying out for a better system
And yeah no brainer on judicial appointments
But hm not sure about making all ballots national, could stop a lot of innovation

obviously not all ballots but certain rights should apply to all persons...some rights you shouldnt lose because you live in florida instead of california. i dont trust the states to do the right thing. they have proven time and time again they will act in their own interests rather than in the interests of their populace. like i said, our world is not limited to the state we live in any longer. there is too much information readily available through the internet and other sources. decisions made at home have global implications. the only thing stopping innovation are the small percentage of people who control the vast majority of wealth and through that wealth our political system. i just believe in logic, universal morality, and fairness. the difference between right and wrong is usually obvious when you remove the biasness and personal agendas of people.

 

[MiaBabe23]

Listening to it quietly now, it’s good

 

[MiaBabe23]

I agree with most of what you say, until the person in charge nationally wants to take away rights
But - risking getting into tensions here lol by bringing up issues -
What you say is absolutely true when it comes to the outrageous restrictions on abortion, for example. But on something like cannabis, why shouldn’t states be allowed to allow people a freedom that would probably never be accepted nationally?

oh i think youre definitely mis-assuming which side i lean on. reverse it. cannabis and psychedelics should definitely be 100% legal. no one has the right to dictate what a woman can and cannot do with her body, all people should have access to basic and emergency healthcare regardless of income, etc.

 

[Boat1]

Good morning Mia and friends.
Is there room for another person in here?

 

[MiaBabe23]

Oh I did assume incorrectly! I think that’s because usually when people have said to me they don’t want to risk discussing it, they happen to have been more conservative
I like hearing and understanding everyone’s views, regardless

 

[TXRafe]

oh, and yes i could use correct formatting and punction but the neurodivergent in me wont let me take the time or effort. i prefer a smooth free flowing train of thought.

i think the state also comes with some assumptions...my vote hasnt counted my entire adult life.

 

[Boat1]

I have some views on Govt, that some people find odd.
IMHO, our current Gov is illegitimate, as it's actually nothing more than a business "Inc" registered in London.

im glad you prefaced that with IMHO, i apologize for not using it. in my head its implied but ive been told many times that it cant be assumed. again neurodivergent, so please add it where ever needed in everything ive said.

 

[MiaBabe23]

I would be lying, Rafe, if your state didn’t contribute to my assumption. Isn’t that terrible!!! I can’t believe I stereotyped like that

Why so, Boat? Assume you’re British?
