Don’t do drugs

Don’t do sex

I’m indigenous Canadian and both my parents survived residential school in the 50s. Residential school for indigenous people back then was forced on us, especially for children where they were systematically abused by Christian missionaries. Mom was not so abused but dad was terribly traumatized to the point where sex and anything sexual or remotely sexual was forbidden. Just about everything in life to him meant burning in everlasting hell. Drugs were no different but less so.

So our indigenous Christian home just dealt with it all by forbidding everything.

How did it turn out?

I have seven siblings and we all ended up with alcohol and drug addiction by the time we were teenagers. I cleaned up early and I’ve been sober for 29 years, all my other siblings never fell off the deep end (thank God) but I’m the only one who got officially ‘sober’.

I didn’t have kids but everyone else in my family did before anyone was married. One of my younger brothers picked up the slack for me by having children with four women. I have over 40 nieces and nephews, some by the family, some brought in, some married in and others illegitimate.

We’re all one big happy family … but we’re all gonna burn in hell. Lol

Mine is wear a medical grade mask in public spaces.

It does multiple things.

First it protects you from air borne pathogens like viruses and especially COVID.

Second, if you are confronted or people get mad at you for wearing one, it immediately let’s you know what kind of people are around. If they’re the type that will get mad at you for wearing a mask, it’s definitely a place to leave and avoid in the future. A mask is a great way to weed people out in public.

My wife has lifelong lung problems now and we can’t risk any infections. So wearing a mask is necessary for me … and at this point in my life, it’s normal now and I find that it’s normal for most people. 90% of the people that see me in a mask notice but immediately understand and don’t make an issue of it. It’s 10% of the loudest idiots that make it a problem and a mask is a great way to unmask them (pun intended)

Therefore … take five minutes and make up whatever calculations so that you either pay nothing or very little, send it in and let them figure it out.

No sense doing all that work if they already know anyway because they’ll send you corrections and tell you what you have to pay.

I always knew the English suffered from oral diarrhea diarrhoea

But why maintain bridges to places where you don’t want to go?

What are you talking about asking questions? It’s AI … it’s all we need to know

Lol … society is suffering from the same short comings and ignorance humanity has always dealt with.

Our made up kings and queens believe they own the world and are surprised when they don’t have full control over anything or anyone.

Swappable hard drives

I have a ThinkPad with easy access to the hard drive. It’s one screw, remove a small panel and slide out the hard drive, slide in a new hard drive and reinstall the panel and screw. It all takes about a minute.

I have a drive for my Linux setup and another for windows.

I gave up setting up dual boot setups because I’m not as skilled or capable and I’ve lost entire setups in the past due to updates and changes and it was constantly frustrating for me. So I figured that just swapping hard drives was the easiest for me. No configuration, no changes and neither OS can interfere with one another.

I use my Linux as my daily driver for everything and windows when I need something from windows. I only ever use windows maybe once a month or once every second month. I spend more time regularly updating windows than in actually using it.

Last week I asked a friend to pick up a back pack with my laptop in it because I forgot it.

I was happy he did the favor but when he dropped it off, the cord was hanging off, the laptop was hastily stuffed inside and he handed the open bag over like he was handing me a sack of potatoes.

Space Willem Dafoe?

“We choose to go to the moon, not because it is easy but because it is hard”

The previous social model of monetizing everything is also not working and terribly complicated and sends the majority of the profit to those who contributed nothing but their claims to ownership and entitlement. I’d rather live a world where we were constantly debating and discussing while sending the majority of wealth to those people who actually created something.

Human cooperation will never be easy so we have to learn to live with that reality.

This like trying to draw a line over your shoes while standing on the edge of a cliff … move the line or yourself any further and you’re free falling.

lol … why keep calling it the UN … it’s obviously just the US

Honestly, the interior decor of a house probably seldom matters.

It always depends on geography.

If you have a outrageously painted kitchen inside a house in a prime area, no one is going to care about the colors of the cupboards.

Israelis soldiers could literally put on blindfold, shoot at a crowd of people, kill someone and the random dead victim would be labeled Hamas

In the eyes of the gods … we are all meat obelisks

I’ll take two … I’ll meet the forklift operators out front to tell them where to load them all

six digits if you have shitty health insurance … five digits if we get a really good vet … four digits if we do it right here

Excuse me sir but you’re above the weight limit … you may either pay an adjusted fee … or we amputate two limbs

American rubbing his chin: …mmmmmm … I don’t know … hmmmm?

Technically … from a personal perspective … if you stop paying your credit card debt, your own personal world will end.
