That IS a rather unfortunate name.
Still think Q will post tonight but hopefully not too late. Muh work tomorrow.
Hold on…a labor leader? Isn't this week a big week for SCOTUS to hearing arguments on the Janus case? Janus case having to do with whether non-union members must pay union "dues" for their collectively-bargained wages/benefits despite not agreeing with said union's PAC's?
Old fag here. This is very interesting, so much so I may buy the book. Have always wondered about myself b/c honestly have felt "woke" since I was a liddle kid. I mean I was almost three when JFK was shot and I remember that day clearly b/c the cartoon I was watching was broken through by newscasts. Even then had a vague sense "this is not right" which of course it wasn't but…IDK, can't explain. Have always been very intuitive and perceptive, not psychic, but I always "know" things w/o knowing how I know them, especially about people. I can tell just by looking what people's issues are, whether they can be trusted and in what ways or not, etc. Am almost ridiculously strong willed and for that reason I thought I would be un-hypnotizable. But then in my early 30's I went to a hypnotist for smoking cessation and he actually told me afterward that I am extremely hypnotizable due to my high vocabulary. He said he could teach me how to hypnotize myself. Had me look at my finger and "will" it to rise without using my finger muscles, And it did, Kinda shakey as it rose, but I remember the sensation that I made my finger rise off the table with my mind, not my muscle. I also remember going very deep into a trance, felt great afterward. Didn't quit smoke though, lol. Anyway, I do have a history of childhood trauma and have been told I have PTSD. Never officially put that on my records and no I never have gone for a medical marijuana script even though I know I'd qualify. Just do not want my name/records in the system like that. Have also been told I have a high pain tolerance and there have been situations when I was in a great deal of physical pain wherein I meditated/breathed the pain away, or rather, I meditated myself away from the pain. Still…the whole suggestibility factor intrigues me. I feel that while I know I am highly hypnotizable, that is true only if I will it, or consent to it, or choose to engage in it, myself.
