There's a restaurant chef in Montreal, CA who has a YouTube channel called Vivaldi (the name of the restaurant).
He/they send out their delivery pizzas *uncut*. I guess it's a Montreal thing? In any case, after pondering it for a second, I'm on-board. Take out a big knife, and cut however you like.
Aside: His channel is very charming, and super unassuming. Fun, even if you don't cook. Even better if you do.

Worldviews and wiring.
Consider the felt difference between these worldviews:Materialist Cosmology: We live in a meaningless universe of competing matter, where survival depends on our ability to control and extract resources. Consciousness is an accident of chemistry, death is extinction, and ultimately nothing we do matters.
Sacred Cosmology: We exist within an intelligent, loving cosmos where we are fundamentally welcome. Our lives have inherent meaning and value, we are held by something larger than ourselves, and even death is a transition within a larger wholeness.
The relationship between these two dimensions of safety reveals something crucial: when our nervous system carries traumatic patterns, entertaining a sacred cosmology can feel threatening because it highlights the gap between our lived experience and the view of cosmic welcome.
Yet this same dynamic makes sacred cosmology a powerful healing tool. Within a materialist framework, our defensiveness makes perfect senseโof course we should be skeptical and guarded. But when we consciously adopt a sacred worldview, our defensiveness creates friction with the reality weโve embraced, and this tension naturally draws us into intimate contact with whatever wounded material lives in that gap.
These worldviews generate entirely different nervous system responses. The materialist worldview creates existential anxietyโa bone-deep sense that existence itself is fundamentally unsafe. The sacred cosmology leads to a felt sense that we belong here, that reality can be trusted.

Iโm starting to wonder if this break-up isnโt going to be the thing that kills me. Not acutely, but rather eventually. The stress on my body is significant even with all my meditation and yoga and exercise, etc. I know if I didnโt take as good care of myself as I do, it would be much worse, though.
I simply donโt understand being hateful. Makes no sense to me even when a relationship ends. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
In that way, I am very much my fatherโs daughter. Luckily.

I think the Cold War II will become a fuck of a brain wash mental destruction within Europe.
Since the #EuropeanUnion startet to rewrite history there are still a lot of 'irregularities' in the matrix, that could be considered funny.
