  1. I grew up in Hawaii and tons of this is familiar, the sugar, the restricted economy, the very rich and the very poor, etc.
    1700
  2. In the USA you can't afford to get sick, literally. You'll lose your house, your job, everything and end up on the street.
    1300
  3. When I got into small business I found that, contrary to what I'd been taught to think, it was not tooth-and-nail competition with other small businesses in the same field, but very cooperative and friendly. And occasionally I find myself talking a customer out of buying something from me because it's not right for them.

  4. The way they just barge into Uighurs' houses, take photos take a guy's hat off and put a different one on, they're treating them literally like animals. Like, "Oh, let's put a cute hat on this dog, it'll make a better picture". I'd want to riot too.
    674
  5. Owning a car is like supporting another person who has to have steak every night.
    627
  6. Weird occurrance: In US Army Basic, they did some testing etc and out of a whole bunch of us they took me and another guy and put us in separate rooms, and taught us this synthetic made-up language. We got out and looked at each other and actually held a little conversation in this fictional language. Nothing much came of it though.
    619
  7. That's OK, Putti's debate will consist of having the others thrown out the window.
    594
  8. That's what really alienated King with the ruling class. He started talking not about Black or White but about class and economic justice.
    543
  9. "42" never fails to deliver.
    495
  10. This is what real reporting looks like, people. this is very, very sad but also one of the best-made documentaries I've seen on YouTube.
    486
  11. Welcome to the Homeless Industrial Complex. You set up a "shelter", collect $50k per year per homeless person, filter maybe a few hundred par annum to helping the person, and pocket the rest.
    470
  12. College. Ruins. Lives. I never will get the time back, took me years to pay the money back, and having been to college drastically lowered my earnings for life. To me covid is worth it if it kills off the college scam.
    470
  13. I wish they'd stop talking about "Silicon Valley" like it's some wonderland. Most people here are poor as shit and the internet here is super slow.
    439
  14. What's the freakin' deal with Chinese people and gambling? You should do a segment on that.
    407
  15. "It's fruit/fruit juice so it's healthy" - NO.
    378
  16. When I lived in the rurals I knew a guy a street over who was really huge, like almost like Tank but imagine 1 foot taller. Big dude. So one day I went over there and we get talking and he starts cooking up something with scallops and bacon and some sort of cream sauce, easily enough for two even if they're people his size, and I'm thinking, "Hm, this is gonna be good" and then when he's got it all cooked up he was like, "OK see ya gottta eat now!"
    370
  17. Have no social safety net in the US than get all surprised-Pikachu-face when US'ians start doing crimes to survive.
    348
  18. "If you're a man, or have male parts..." I'm gonna differ with you, if you're anyone these creams do not belong between your legs. Who knows if some gal might decide to take this same sort of dare, or think these creams can be used for birth control and put the cream ... inside? This episode was a mind-blower! One of your very best! Thank you Doctor. It's things like this that, if I were 40 years younger, would inspire me to go into the medical field.
    343
  19. The debate with Harris was great. She wiped the floor with him.
    317
  20. Remember: If you see something, you saw nothing

  21.  @Noone-l6g  Champagne bottles are in fact heavy duty. It's because the stuff's under pressure. They're quite a bit more sturdily built than regular wine bottles.
    284
  22. "From both ends" it's never good when it's from both ends...
    275
  23. It's amazing how well those veterans have aged. They all look about 20 years younger than they have to be.
    263
  24. This is why 2nd, 3rd, etc homes need to be taxed at 33% of their value per annum.
    263
  25. The term "Well-regulated" in the 2nd amendment means "sighted-in and regularly trained" not "regulated" in the modern sense of being controlled by the government. Old shooting manuals will talk about the "regulation of the sights" which means getting the sights zeroed in. Now, in old England, it was standard to require every Englishman to regularly practice with the long bow, as it was crucial in times of war to have plenty of well-trained archers. In the US, while no lesser a personage than Ben Franklin Himself said that training in the bow might be best, it was generally recognized (and more and more so as gun technology advanced) that it was a good thing to have plenty of trained shooters on tap in case of war. So when the US became a country, the founders made it very clear that everyone (may not apply if female or POC) who wants one may have a gun because this way there would be lots of trained shooters. I personally may or may not agree with this, but this is how we got here.
    258
  26. Most of the "street" homeless have mental problems and what's needed is to have asylums again. As for tiny houses, allowing "mother-in-law units" is what we've done here in California and it's been quietly opening up housing for people who can't afford to rent a whole house or even a "luxury" apartment. But most of the obviously homeless, you don't want them anywhere near your house.
    246
  27. Why did the family let one member be homeless instead of taking them in? What are they, an American family??
    244
  28. Pavement princess pickup trucks that never go off-road cost around $100k these days.
    240
  29. Damn, this kind of micro-managing for traffic flaggers these days?? Consider becoming a security guard. I know tons about electronics and get paid shit while those guys are making $25 an hour. Take some classes and they'll even let you carry a gun. (In my case I'd do that and then get the Airsoft version of my gun and carry that so I could do pranks which is probably why I'm not a security guard... hehe).
    219
  30. What made us great was FDR's New Deal. The exact thing our present day oligarchs have been trying to completely eliminate.
    212
  31. Iran was like this. Back in the 1970s it was really a modern place. My dad was over there doing computer stuff. Then the Ayatollah came in, and Dad got out just in time - he had a tape recording of the crowds shouting and rioting. The Ayatollah was prone to coming up with very simple slogans, it was a real dumbing-down of things.
    184
  32. Bernie won. As people are saying, the DNC would rather Trump win a 2nd term than admit they're "Republican Lite".
    178
  33. I'm in Silicon Valley, literally Ebay/Paypal and Google etc all a bike ride away, and all the friggin' time companies get caught bringing in Indian workers and putting them in dormatories, and paying them the same $20/day they get in India. Free dorm living and free vegetarian Indian food, so they get to see the USA a bit during the half-day a week they're free, and get to save up some money. It's all illegal as hell of course, and occasionally someone forgets to pay a bribe and they get busted and it makes the news.
    176
  34.  @ゴリラ-w3h  I'm turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese at least I think so .... Seriously, grew up in Hawaii and was shooting the bull with some mainland US born Japanese people here in my favorite hangout, Japantown in San Jose California, and at one point the older lady said, "He's more Japanese than we are!". It's always good to brush up on things though. Seriously, the mainland's too cray, will retire back home in Hawaii. Now back to blowing my shakuhachi while I watch this crazy Brit's vids.
    164
  35.  @AlanaBananaCanada  Broccoli is one of the most wonderful foods. And the first time I had cabbage, I was like, "Where has this stuff been all my life?"
    161
  36. When I was a kid in the 70s the standard/recommended breakfast was a big bowl of breakfast cereal with milk and sugar and fruit on top, toast, a tall glass of orange juice, etc. all starchy and sugary things.
    161
  37. Plumbers can get caustic cleaners that are much stronger than regular people can get so it may have been some really nasty stuff.
    158
  38. I learned not to trust polls in 2016 and I'm sure as hell voting.
    152
  39. My last GF was like this, super skinny although she would do things like eat a whole bag of potato chips at one sitting etc. But I suspect her secret was: she worked in a hospital and I think she was a functional meth user and only ate when she ate with me.
    151
  40. I wish I could find it again, but years ago I read a thing by an Indian guy who left India to come to the US. He described his his parents had a 2-room house. So this guy comes here to the US to work, and is apart from his family and friends, and in the end he ends up old, single, lonely as hell (and how he's dealing with ageism in tech) and all he can show for it is .... his apartment has 3 rooms.
    148
  41. Fun fact: the word "quarantine" literally means 40 days.
    141
  42. Keep in mind that when Hitler realized he was losing the war and there was no way to pull off some miracle, he wanted Germany to be destroyed. He said it showed the Germans were "weak" and the country should be left a scorched Earth, crops and livestock destroyed, etc.
    138
  43. #6 it's dirty - there's a great group called "808 cleanups" so you can be part of the solution.
    137
  44. This. Apparently humans with alzheimer's can be a real handful, as in unpredictable and violent. Now imagine a creature like 3X as strong with big teeth etc.
    128
  45. The people I work for can't squat. I mean, I must do the full-on "slav squat" 50 times a day, and I just turned 55. My friends/employers are in their 70s and I'm gonna watch them die. It's very sad :-((
    126
  46. Hebrew has the coolest looking alphabet!
    123
  47. It's not just Coke, it's all their locally made drinks too like Jumex, which my boss (diabetic) keeps some around because, he says, it contains "astronomical" amounts of sugar.
    122
  48. This British guy "going in with the Russians" would be like an American guy "going in with the Germans" early in WWII (the US didn't declare war until the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor and thus, for a time, the US was neutral).
    119
  49. I love my Asian markets. Masks are 100% and people "get" social distancing.
    118
  50. In all fairness, Blondie does look like he's pretty fit.
    116
  51. I love how the solar panel guy is using a Chinese drone (DJI Phantom) to film his workers.
    116
  52. In the Army during KP I merely inhaled the fumes from a caustic cleaner being used to clean the grill, and that plus a cold I'd caught, got me a couple-three days in the hospital. I looked sicker than I actually was, because the fumes actually made skin sluff off of my tongue and throat.
    113
  53. I wanted to order some checks from my bank. They went into a song-and-dance about how I could get them from CostCo, or from Walmart. Firstly, going to CostCo, of which I'm not a member, I call going through $60 worth of trouble to save $20. And Walmart? I'm not having them do my checks, no thanks. I know ordering them from my bank is $35 or so and I have no problem with that. They're gonna last me years. It was weird having to convince them at my bank that Yes, I am happiest ordering them the conventional way, through them.
    112
  54. You are not mistaken. Hitler saw himself as a victim, and Trump's been following the Hitler playbook very, very closely. I mean so closely it'd be hilarious if the possible consequences weren't so dire.
    109
  55. That's what Buddhism is. It's not "religion" in the Western sense. There is no God, there is no self. No big boss in the sky.
    108
  56. Israel has citizens who are Jewish, Moslem, and Christian, as well as no doubt some Buddhists, Baha'i, etc. it makes no sense that they'd lose citizenship.
    107
  57. This is one reason I'm really glad to have found myself living in San Jose California - the curry. We've got the Indian types of curry of course 'cos there are tons of Indians here, but there are also Chinese, Vietnamese, and Thai restaurants serving their own versions of curries, and mind-bendingly, curry's a huge thing in Japan (the history of curry in Japan is fascinating). I'm in curry heaven!
    106
  58. If the Nazis hate you, you're probably doing something right.
    106
  59. American "Christianity" in action.
    106
  60. It's like a Consumer Reports review of a tank. Goes fast even in reverse, good rate of fire, suffers a bit from the cold, engine easy to replace, roomy inside, and if the enemy hits your ammo, no turret tossing.
    104
  61. Here's a mind-blower: I grew up hearing about how the Indians up in the Andes were primitive because they never invented the wheel. Well it turns out they never needed to.
    104
  62. Real brave guy there, picking on teenage girls.
    103
  63. There were/are Baha'i people in Hawaii where I grew up. Harmless, harmless, harmless. I can't imagine any sane person having a problem with them.
    103
  64. This. $70k-$80k to $18k and feel damned fortunate.
    101
  65. Taking away the orcs' war toys, like a good parent.
    100
  66. The Republican Party is trying to keep him alive and somewhat coherent until (they hope) he's voted in, then he'll keel over, be 25th Amendment'ed, or something. Then it's Vance for president. That's their plan. Vote accordingly.
    99
  67. I think his losing his wife, who was his "other half" in the deepest sense of the term, kind of broke that part of him. It's very sad to read about.
    99
  68. "Krakatoa" sounds like something awful, like perhaps a mountain blowing up with a huge roar and cracking sound. "Tambora" sounds like one of those obscure musical instruments only percussion dweebs can play correctly.
    97
  69. hm, I've not had a Coke Zero for a while and it's good!
    97
  70. "Are you from Ameriker?" - Truth is, that's how most Brits say it anyway.
    96
  71. I'm actually old enough to remember when yoghurt came in little waxed cardboard containers.
    96
  72. This is a wonderful analysis, and it reminds me of how, here in the US, we're conditioned to think the worst of each other, and how under Capitalism everyone's supposed to be really competitive, and in realty people are really cooperative. And even within Capitalism, when I started my own small business it was a revelation to see that the small businesses around town that had any relation to mine, were not enemies but instead cooperated. We'd send customers around to each other if we didn't have what they needed, and so on. There's so much work put into teaching Americans that the world is hyper-competitive and it really doesn't work that way.
    95
  73. One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.
    87
  74. You guys need a wall, and to make us pay for it, honestly.
    87
  75. The truth makes great hasbara.
    86
  76. Sperm as a milkshake place would be total win.
    86
  77. It's good to see The Homeless-Industrial Complex becoming a meme. Because that's exactly what it is. Homeless people as cash cows.
    85
  78.  @noggin6870  Damn straight. Who would snitch on Superman? Who would tell J. Jonah Jameson that Spiderman is actually humble student Peter Parker?
    85
  79. That problem isn't democracy, it's capitalism. Capitalism requires a segment of the population to be poor and desperate to keep prices down and keep the majority working.
    85
  80. Seriously this.
    85
  81. This Oh so much this. Yes, 90%, maybe 95%, of the homeless don't look homeless. You'd never guess. They sleep in their cars or on a friend's couch, shower in a gym, keep a storage unit for those things they don't want to keep in their car, etc. They work a job or three.
    84
  82.  Jewish Banker  They probably didn't have a choice - Japan and Germany had things like our "War Production Act" that Trump used to keep pork processing plants open to sell pork to China and Biden is using to produce vaccines. In WWII in the US, we had the Singer sewing machine company making .45 pistols and International Harvester making rifles etc.
    84
  83. I live in Silicon Valley. I make less than $20k a year and yes I work in electronics. Most people I run into are making less than me so I've learned to keep quiet about my "high income". Silicon Valley is a huge 2rd-world at best area with a tiny upper crust of rich people. And I'd not touch a bank, or anything, with "Silicon Valley" in the name due to what a huge scam this area and everything concerning it, is. So let's just say I'm not surprised in the least that a scammy bank like this has crashed and had a bank run.
    83
  84. Well, this is good to know because there's no such thing as "Palestine" it's Israel. Also remember: From the river to the sea, Israel is Yehudi
    82
  85. From the river to the sea, Israel is Yehudi
    81
  86. In shithole USA we're about to have tens of millions become homeless because under capitalism, there is no safety net. And we will still have more than one empty house for every homeless man, woman, and child, owned by capitalists and sitting empty we need a Socialist revolution.
    81
  87. The question is answered a few minutes in, I paraphrase: "In the African American community, you feel you're part of the community". I grew up in white culture and it's the most cold, heartless culture I've ever seen.
    79
  88. Short answer: No. Long answer: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO And our daily reminder: From the river to the sea, Israel is Yehudi
    77
  89. That bird is awesomely fabulous.
    75
  90. I'm sure a minion wrote that tweet because the 'Rump's tweets are usually senile word-salad
    74
  91. Doesn't anyone read labels any more? You're not supposed to drink the whole fucking bottle
    74
  92. Keep in mind that on Jan. 6th, Diaper Donny was calling for the hanging of his own vice president. Being close to him would be like being close to Stalin, who didn't spare anyone who got close, not family, not anyone.
    73
  93. Note under buttplug says: "Whoever inserts this buttplug shall become the rightful ruler of Russia" kind of like King Arthur's sword except it's a ... buttplug.
    73
  94. But they are The People Of The Double Standard(tm)
    72
  95. That's the one thing that suddenly happens. Your kid goes to school and comes back a few days later paralyzed for life or missing a limb or mentally disabled etc. from being SHOT. That's what Demented Don brings to the table.
    70
  96.  III% Patriot III%  She's not compromising anything, by living in it she's keeping it warmer and drier than otherwise, just like a house that's lived in vs. one that's not.
    69
  97. Korea has entered the chat
    69
  98. There are so many documentaries of this type and yet I like watching them all because each one will have little details that the others don't. It's just amazing that a country as civilized as Germany, the place to be if you were a scientist or an artist or a poet etc., should have fallen into such barbarity.
    68
  99. Japan becoming more like the USA.
    68
  100. This is full-on Third Reich stuff.
    68
  101. Keep in mind the USSR's goal was to take over all of Europe. And at the end of WWII they had a good chunk of Germany. To the average person, Fascism would have been far preferable to life under the Russians no matter what those orks were calling their regime.
    67
  102. From the river to the sea, Israel is Yehudi
    67
  103. We'll go backward the way Iran did. Iran was a modern country, my father worked over there for some years, it was a progressive place. Then they had their dictator seize power and my father needless to say, but also every smart person who could, left. Look at how it is now. Another example is Romania. Romania was a modern country, then Ceucescu seized power. It became a 3rd world hellhole.
    66
  104. It's worse in the US .... which is certainly not a great country for its working class.
    66
  105. I knew a guy in the Army whose last name was Mormon. He was a Catholic.
    65
  106. Krasnov is collapsing the US economy faster than the US can do anything to Canada. Most of us here in the US, regular, non-oligarch, people, side with Canada.
    65
  107. Everything you said about "near-expiration" stores goes 10X for the USA. They're in smaller towns, they're very popular and have been for decades, the foods are cheaper because they're near expiration, etc. Frankly they're great.
    63
  108.  @LuckyBadger  Or sneezed or breathed or talked .... this is why we're told to wear face masks with this virus going around, it travels on droplets and going all the way back to Pasteur, it was known that humans are always spewing droplets for one reason or another. That's what masks catch - and the larger droplets that can travel further, the masks stop the best. And in a population that's generally vaccinated, I agree the restaurant worker probably had no idea he was harboring the bacteria when he prepared the noodles. And the room-mate didn't land in the hospital, he just got a bit sick and went on with life. This is why vaccinations are so important. I actually got really sick as an adult from chicken pox. The population is generally immune but it still goes around (I think I caught it from a kid actually) and wow, a no-big-deal disease was a big deal for me.
    62
  109. The Sudetenland, Czechoslovakia, France, Poland ...
    61
  110. In the US, though, it's possible to be held before trial for years and years on end.
    61
  111. Why are we focusing on Trump? He's only the First Lady. It's Musk's first 100 days that are important.
    60
  112. The Haitians are here legally, they were INVITED to come to the town, which was dying due to a lack of young workers.
    59
  113. One of the things I've noticed about places, both in California and also Arizona, is you get these sort of working-class areas, like in this area, notice how many of those trailer homes are obviously from the 1950s or 1960s, 1970s at the very latest. Well, they were bought new by people who probably didn't have college degrees but they worked, and they were very straight-arrow, you might say. So, just one you drove by, I noticed that it's a trailer home but they built a nice little "sun room" onto the side, had nice steps on the front, etc. They were people who believed in honest work, did all their own home repairs, they were "handy" people who could fix and improve things and they kept their stuff in nice shape. Now, they get old, a good number of them, frankly, die off, and now their kids have got the trailer home or little tract home or whatever. Their kids can barely change a tire. Their kids don't care about the difference between a miter saw and a coping saw, they just wanna have fun, and typically that means alcohol and drugs. They let the place go to hell, sell off any coin collections, savings bonds, etc the "old man" and "old lady" left them, and it's Party On, Wayne!
    59
  114. Kudos to FRONTLINE for making videos that even for people whose internet access is utter garbage - I'm in Silicon Valley and it's horrible unless you're wealthy - and are watchable even when the video is a few frames per second at best and forget about the sound being in sync. It's sort of a blend of old WWI footage and a Ken Burns film but still watchable. As the internet gets worse for the non-1%, FRONTLINE documentaries will be some of the last things the common people will be able to watch.
    59
  115. This is hilarious. Take one of the coolest bands ever, the most witty and punny, and put them in front of a bunch of humorless computer nerds. I'm in Silicon Valley myself and the culture here is one of knowing tons about some narrow field and having to have jokes explained to you.
    58
  116. Everyone and their damn dog has a cell phone now.
    58
  117. For a while I lived in an area where, in a certain season, you could pick up walnuts from the roadsides. So I was going along, picking walnuts, and the land owner at one place, told me he'd seriously been considering shooting me, for picking up roadside walnuts in front of, not on but in front of, his property.
    58
  118. "There is no place for political violence in our democracy" - Anyone remember Jan. 6th? Anyone? Anyone?
    57
  119. (Fatso looks around the room in a panic) "Wait - wait! Is there anyone competent in the room? Quick! Fire them!
    55
  120. I had a college professor tell me decades ago that social mobility is just about gone in the US which angered me at the time but after many decades of observation I can see he was right. I also had a friend tell me wherever you find a lot of wealth, there will be deep poverty nearby. Again I thought it was not true, but it is.
    55
  121. It's the American Way. When things get tough, the father takes off for greener pastures, and leaves Mom holding the bag. There's a reason a good number of traditional societies are matriarchal.
    55
  122. We have a Right and a Far-Right party. We don't have a Left party at all. We need the Republican Party to be outlawed and its officers sent to Guantanamo for life. We need a Progressive Party.
    54
  123. How can anyone be crazy enough to want to borrow?? After losing everything in 08, I vowed to never owe for anything ever again.
    54
  124. I like to think there are a lot of what I'd call "Eisenhower Republicans" out there. Republicans who will vote for stability and normalcy, and not this kooky MAGA "1000-year Reich".
    53
  125. Walmart is always scary
    52
  126. From the river to the sea, Israel is Yehudi
    52
  127. I wonder if the girl he was with put something in his beer so she could steal his wallet? Common in the US.
    52
  128. It's nice to hear from one of the 0.001% of Arabs who are against this.
    52
  129. Welp, civil war in 3...2...1... A lot of us vets are older but we still know how to fight and we're PISSED.
    51
  130. Yep Russia just provided the meat waves.
    51
  131. I haven't really gotten into Harry Potter and thus have not read any of the books, but it's impossible to be online w/o picking up a few things about it. One could really argue it's Nazi ideology in a cute colorful crinkly wrapper. And I came to this conclusion before the author came out as a foaming at the mouth anti-trans, anti-working class, elitist.
    51
  132. Scrambled potatoes and mashed eggs, you say?
    51

  135. Syphilis was rampant in the US up through the 1920s and surprisingly prevalent afterward. I even met a gal in a bar here in Silicon Valley with the classic "saddle nose" deformity caused by congenital syphilis. She wasn't an immigrant either, just a member of the local lower class.

  136. Palestinian means a resident of the old British Mandate of Palestine, taken from the old Roman empire term Palestina for the place. Palestinian used to be used to refer to Jews living in what's present day Israel. You can find 1940s posters and things that verify this. "Palestinian" to refer to Arab colonialists trying to make a claim on Israel is a USSR mid-1960s ploy and sadly, it's working.

  138. I work in tech and make $20k a year. I'm working on leaving the US, and when I retire I'll be very happy if I never touch a transistor or 'scope probe again. I use a flip phone, and get by computer-wise by buying used laptops and using them until they die. I hate tech.

  139. I love the sign in the background at 3:49 - "We do not have wifi, talk to each other".

  140. There are some neat quantum effect you can observe. For instance, if you take one of those older type power strips with a little neon light in the power switch, or anything that has the old light-up power switch with a neon tube in it (glows kind of orange) if you've got one of those that flickers, that's the best. You'll notice that if you turn off the room lights or just put your hand etc. around the neon light so it's in the dark, it will light up less, or might not even light up at all except for a few flickers. If you take a red laser pointer and shine that on it, it probably won't have any effect at all. Or make it flicker just slightly more. But put a flashlight or even a green pointer on it or the light of a blue LED, and it will light up continuously. This is also why in the old type darkrooms used in film photography, you could work under red light and it would not expose the film. Sometimes I think about how I'd explain modern electronics and devices like LED lighting, lasers, semiconductors, etc. to someone from 1945 (transistor was invented in 1947) that would be interesting. They'd have to be really up on their physics.

  145. They literally have no idea how many people died, by a factor of 5?
    47
  146. Ha! It's far worse in the USA! Tons of homeless people, companies won't hire you unless you have a car so that's another HUGE expense, imagine all the difficulties these people on this are dealing with but also with tons of homeless/mentally ill on the streets, tons of crime, tons of drug use because in the US all drugs and I do mean all of them, are legal at the user level.
    46
  147. This is so great. Meanwhile in the USA, there's "lunch debt" and kids go hungry a lot.

  148. @Vantae ._.breadjinnie Filipinos are nice, warm people.

  149. Same as the US they can keep you YEARS before trial. A famous case a while back was a Black kid, still a minor something like 14 or 15 years old, taken to Riker's Island in New York, kept in prison with adults, who eventually killed himself.
    45
  150. The NRA used to actually be about duck hunting. That and ballistics, collecting, history, etc. It was very wholesome. The old "American Rifleman" magazines from 1970 or so and earlier are great reading. But now their magazines are trash, they're like tabloids.
    45
  151. I've seen it mentioned many places that as a foreigner, you sort of get a "pass" where if you're Japanese you'll really get judged because you're expected to know better while the foreigner is not expected to know all the nuances.
    44
  152. I'd never heard of Roko's Basilisk, and will have to put some work into fully understanding it, but I think a big part of the idea is illustrated by an anecdote I read years ago: A missionary has been making great progress among the Eskimos, and has 'em happily going to church in between their usual seal-hunting and fishing and usual activities. So one day he's talking with one of them, who has a question. He asks the missionary if, now that he knows about J. Christ, if he doesn't worship Him, he'll go to Hell. The missionary says Yes, that is right. Then the Eskimo asked, If I'd never heard of Christ, and was just going along, living my life, would I go to hell? And the missionary says No, you were innocent and could not be punished or something you don't know about, so you were not in danger of going to hell. The eskimo then asks a final question: Then why did you tell me about Him?

  157. I'm old enough to remember shopping malls in their heyday in the US and they were popular with the middle class and comfortable working class but we are losing our middle class and our working class are becoming homeless.
    43
  158. Well, I know rural areas, I've lived in 'em and they're getting welfare, food stamps, disability, and every other gov't handout they can. Then, instead of working they're dealing in pills, smuggling guns, little enterprises like that. Pimping out one's own children is on the table in such areas too.
    43
  159. I'm going to be disappointed if there still are in a few weeks.
    43
  160. I agree, but it's a rich enough society now that there is garbage to throw away .... in the 1970s (1930s part 2) nothing got thrown away. Seriously, if it was edible us or our dogs got it. We could recycle bottles but might find 3 bottles in a good week. Socialism can't come quickly enough for me, Capitalism is eating itself.

  161. My boss's folks fled Poland when it was under the thumb of the Russian orcs. My mom's folks fled Lithuania when it was under the thumb of the Russian orcs. The orcs have been making enemies for centuries.

  162. Another excellent DW documentary. This is why I'm happy with my bicycle, not an e-bike just a bike, and a flip phone and an oldie-old laptop I keep plugged in lol - I'd be pretty happy running it from a gel cell (no cobolt, lithium etc in those) and keeping my life as low tech as possible.
    42
  163. I don't think Norway has the kind of mean-ness and hatred the US runs on. I don't even mean hatred of other groups or races it means everyone is your enemy / competitor. Your own family members, people you've known since childhood, it's everyone against everyone here.
    42
  164. My own mother worked cleaning hotel rooms. It was a pretty good job because there was often food left in the fridges and it was a short walk up the road to it. But the guy in charge wanted to take advantage of my mother in this way so she quit. This was in the 70s when there was a sort of social safety net, and she found other work.

  167. For the morons out there, "Western Liberalism" is ideas like innocent until proven guilty, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, democracy, etc.

  168. Read up on George Floyd ... he tried on a few things in his life, trying to find something that would fit. First he was expected to become an athlete, but big as he was, you've really got to be off the chart and have training from elementary school. Then he tried music, and crime. He finally homed in on a combination of music and being a community good guy, getting involved with the church, being a helper. Yeah crime's bad, but it's understandable that a man in his situation might try it. The thing about him is, he reformed himself he became a good guy. And, I don't care if you're Public Enemy No. 1 you don't deserve to be murdered by a cop while 4 other cops look on approvingly.

  172. It's this way in a lot of state colleges also. The reason it, the rich kids are going to "prep" high schools where they're graduating those at or near the 4-year-degree level. Then they go to Harvard etc. and go up from there. People are tracked by wealth in the US; it's almost a caste system and regular working-class or even almost all middle-class kids are not being educated in the first 12 years of schooling so that indeed, college becomes "grade 13". In Europe, where those dirty rotten socialists have things like cheap college and universal health care and actual social mobility, kids go to a final stage of what we call high school, called "gymnasium" where they emerge at 18 with the equivalent of a 2-year degree in the US. And they don't go into debt for life to do it.

  173. Speaking as someone with some art training, Mr Happy's head is .... weird. The proportions are all wrong. It's like he's got a much smaller cranial capacity than standard, his ears are really low, etc.

  177. Err, no, "they" are not trying to kill off people. When any species is overpopulated, you get outbreaks of disease.

  178. To say Japanese society is insular is a vast understatement. Look up YouTuber "Ask Shogo" he's got some heartrending episodes about how badly he was treated in Japan as a 100% Japanese who merely spent some years of his childhood in the US.
    39
  179. This is the way a 2-bit gangster talks about this or that small-town department store not paying their "protection" money. Not the way the leader of an actual country of any size would do things.
    39
  180. Yep in the US your parents kick you out once you're 18 and you're on your own.
    39
  181. I will tell you: When i was intermediate school age, I went to a school in Wahiawa, called "Our Lady Of Sorrows". There was a little girl who was Japanese, as the majority was Japanese, who was bullied and who the other kids had trained to, if you gave her something, she "had" to stop it on the ground then she could eat it. I was the one who told her she didn't have to do that. I gave her my almond cookie from lunch and said she could just eat it.
    39
  182. A MAGA won't be able to run. Waddle, maybe. Especially wearing those shoes, which are probably utter crap in quality.
    38
  183. No one wants to admit to each other how broke they are. I'll say it again: Here in Silicon Valley, I've stopped telling people I make $300 a week as a 1099 and sleep in the warehouse, because they'll get a desperate look in their eyes and ask me if "they" are hiring. $300 a week and a bicycle and baths in a plastic tube once a week and I'm middle-class here.

  185. Xi's a pretty impressive guy.

  186. The class/caste system in the US has come to largely overshadow education anyway. Pushing college for everyone is pure salesmanship, but in my case I really was "college material" and I tried my best as everyone urged me to. "You're smart; you should go to college". Sadly, it doesn't matter how smart you are, if you were born on an unfortunate square on the race/class/wealth chessboard in the US, college will not only not make you any richer or more socially mobile, but it will actually make you quite a bit poorer.
    38
  187. The standard family trajectory in the US is down, down, down. My grandparents were solidly middle or what would now be considered upper middle class. My parents went from middle class to poor, taking we kids with them. We kids are middle-class for the two who "married money", to struggling and none of us have had kids at all.
    38
  188. This is a good one. Basically the TL;DR is, you get some money, you get a break on taxes, and you get a big break on buying a (new) car which matters if cars are your thing. You don't get a free house, you get a modest amount of money that's helpful but it's not riches. Me, if I get to make Aliyah, I plan to save, save, save that money. I make $20K a year in "Silicon Valley" here in California, and I manage to save at least 1/3 of it. I ride a bike, cook at home (Butane stoves, like my beloved Iwatani, are cheaper to cook on than using "the electric") I do my laundry by hand (laundromats are expensive!) and if there's anything I'd buy with the initial bonus of money, it might be a good radio and a good trumpet as my plan is to travel so "lean" that I'd not even take my faithful horn with me. I'll end up living in a single rented room or maybe some tiny apartment that I'm able to get because it has less than zero parking or something.

  189. Trump needs to immediately caught, using a big net if that's what it takes, flown post haste to Guantanamo, and kept there for the rest of his life. No ifs ands or buts.
    38
  190. Makers and guns and ammo and uniforms etc too.

  191. It's the same self-delusion as an American saying the Black slaves wanted to come here, or any of a number of other idiotic things too many Americans still believe.
    37
  192. Especially in the US where a disease or sickness can make you homeless for life, and where getting an education can make you in debt for life.

  193. There's also an old Australia Broadcasting Company (so, ABC but no the US ABC) 1-hour docu called "The Cowards' War" it's very good.

  194. After losing everything in the 08 crash I decided to take Ben Franklin's advice and "neither a borrower nor a lender be" and have stayed out of the credit game.
    37
  195. In the US, college only makes sense if you come from enough wealth that it doesn't matter if you go to college. For 99% of us, college doesn't make you any more money over your lifetime, you end up with non-dischargable debt, and there's a huge chance you'll end up working in a field that doesn't use your degree at all. It's a huge scam and I'm very happy to see colleges closing.

  199. Again, following the Hitler playbook to the letter - Hitler had several attempts against him by other Nazis.
    36
  200. In the 80s here in the US in California I had co-workers who'd been through this. One guy really was a country boy but had been living in the city and studying to work for the postal service. He told the Khmer Rouge he cleaned trash cans for a living. Another guy, I never learned what he'd been doing but he was super-smart so who knows. His drivers license photo showed him still super skinny from his time in the camps.
    36
  201. So was Hitler. Donny's role model.
    36
  202. This is like 2008. Lost everything. Most have not recovered, including myself. You learn to live on 25% of what you used to make.

  204. I don't know why anyone uses the British term "West Bank" any more when the actual name is Judea
    35
  205. But then you have to live in the Netherlands.
    35
  206. Why all the downvotes? This is awesome. When I was a kid I lost a kite on the power lines in front of our house and I had to look at that embarrassment every day, until we had a heavy duty lightning storm and it got barbecued. Even then that drone would have done a better job.
    35
  207. This is why kibbutzim need to get back to their origins and be armed to the teeth, well-trained and ready to fight.
    35
  208. Hahaha so funny! Even Mother Earth hates the muscovys!
    35
  209. What I don't get is, why are blue collar types looking up to an inherited-wealth, city guy who never actually worked a day in his life and would only hurt himself if he tried to go hunting, fishing, or working on a truck? Why not at least choose someone who's actually of the people?

  214. The debate is the first time I've essentially spent some serious time with Kamala and I like her even more. Long ago I was a witness in a traffic court trial, and my case was the last one of the day so I got to sit through a day of the (lady) judge's cases and what a typical day is like for her, and since in that area judges were voted for, boy was I happy to vote for her. I felt like it was someone I knew. She handled the kind of kooks who end up in traffic court so well. I feel this way about Harris.
    34
  215.  Irving Shekelstein  No, there are tons of instances where having cash on hand is useful.

  216. What do you mean? No doubt the orcs have some of their best (drunkest) "soldiers" out there ready to throw vodka bottles at any income planes...
    34
  217. Westerners do not seem capable of grasping that Asian societies have completely different underlying ideals. The West esteems power, conquest, cruelty. Asian cultures value cooperation, peace, productivity. The West is all about thinking short-term, while Asian cultures think long term.
    34
  218. I live for the day it's finally realized what a joke he is, no one will lend him any more money, even the lowest staff in whatever properties he still has laugh in his face, etc. That's worse than jail - keep in mind his role model, Hitler, went to jail for a while so he probably thinks jail could make him stronger somehow. But being seen as a sad, orange-painted clown would be the ultimate.

  222. 21:55 yet another use for the old "steel pot" that sure was a great helmet with a millions uses. And you could even wear it on your head.
    33
  223. This is also ADVchina / SerpentZA etc. those guys .... run a million Falun Gong ads then wonder why China doesn't like them. I got into watching their stuff years ago when they were just putting around China on motorcycles and liked seeing the countryside and little towns etc., then they got all "bite the hand that feeds them" then got all butthurt over the reaction.
    33
  224. There's a dish called, generally, "Salt and pepper shrimp" they cook it so hot that the shell becomes really crispy and indeed, you eat it shell and all. It's really good!
    33
  225. I'm a good tipper but the pandemic and subsequent profiteering has done wonders for my home cooking game. So while I tip well, I hardly go to places where tipping is a thing any more.
    33
  226. A note: In the US, "good schools" means all-white or nearly all-white schools. The schools don't have to teach much, but that doesn't matter.
    33
  227. Wow the SEC should have caught him early on for not being licensed.
    33
  228. If you grind sawdust down fine enough, it's basically just the kind of dietary fiber you might not get many calories from, but your "gut biome" will be very happy. And, a lot of trees you can eat the layer between the outer bark and the wood, I think it's called cambium? That can be boiled and eaten or boiled, dried, and ground up for flour.
    33
  229. My mom worked at a theatre for a while when I was a kid. The "butter" comes in 5-gallon buckets and is dyed and flavored palm oil.
    33
  230. I was at a Japanese highway rest stop, with a restaurant etc., and my team-mates all trooped to the frozen hamburgers and fries etc to microwave, but I wanted real food so I was trying to figure out the payment/ticket system and a very nice Japanese guy in a blue suit came up and helped me out; I ended up getting a nice hot bowl of noodle soup with seaweed, just the kind of thing I liked growing up (in Hawaii) and it all went great. There are helpful people everywhere.

  231. No, D.W. is Arthur's sister! So it's a box of this out of D.W.'s bedroom.

  232. Religion of peace yadda yadda. We saw your religion of peace in action on October 7th.
    32
  233.  @Bad-Karma  Yep that was WWI. It was called The Great War and The War To End All Wars. Immediately after WWII the US started preparing for a war with the USSR and starting in the 60s or so, China. We got into war in Korea pretty soon after WWII, then war in Vietnam.
    32
  234. Same here. I was raised utterly without religion. With ethics instead. It's a huge, huge difference.
    32
  235. Yes, Chinese/Asian people are super good at spending money, but they have this weird thing about ... gambling. Yes there are people with gambling problems of all cultures, but man, Asians do love their gambling. I read an article somewhere that said it's a difference in the way people of different cultures think about things like time. Something about in Asian cultures, 20 years from now is not seen as far away, so it's easier to think of saving money so you'll have a nice savings 20 years from now ... as for the gambling, who knows. Another thing is, in the West we have the concept of win-win. But with Chinese people, in my own limited experience, it's win-lose. I sold a bicycle to a nice Chinese family, and they were dithering around, everyone riding it, Mom, Dad, the college-age kid ... but they could not bring themselves to buy the thing until I came up with a cock-and-bull story about how I was selling the thing as a favor for my friend, and at the price I was going to have to put in $20 of my own to keep my friend from being mad at me ... then there was a general sigh of relief, I'd lost, and they handed over the money in dirty, old bills and rode off into the sunset. Maybe in the long term win-lose is more successful but I sure like win-win. If I buy something or sell something, I want whoever is on the other side of the transaction to feel good, not bad.
    32
  236. I feel bad for him .... speaking from a childhood in the 1970s in the USA which was effectively like having a childhood in the Great Depression, Mr. Hiroyuki might try finding something he can be good at, it might be lettering signs or detailing cars or any old thing, that he can do that doesn't require a lot of strength (in his case because of his back injury, in my own case because I was a small, malnourished child who could not do heavy physical work) where eventually he either builds up a "clientele" of people who want his work or finds a boss who values his work.
    32
  237. He was also the creator/mod of u/jailbait a fine individual.

    32
  241. $3000 a year is $250 a month and I hate to point this out but there are a LOT of people who really can't afford it, who are blowing that much out monthly on awful coffee (fartbucks) or "energy" drinks or stuff like that that doesn't "feel" expensive but really adds up.
    32
  242. No shit, esp. when your plane gets sick and you've got to stay over in Alaska while they fly another one up from Texas.
    31
  243. In 1948, when the British left and the Arabs were at the same time leaving but also Jews were being pogrom'd from all the surrounding countries. It was approx. 800,000 - 900,000 people going each way - Arabs going out and Jews expelled from Arab countries going in. And in all the fuss, yes, there were houses left empty and unclaimed. Note the guy talked about a British house.
    31
  244. Dystopia was an escape, a sort of "what if?". It's a lot less amusing when you feel you might be in it. In the 1930s in the US, "Musicals" were huge. The old Busby Berkeley ones with tons of dancers, Shirley Temple movies (we called her Shirley Pimple haha) things like that. They were escapes. War movies got big after WWII.
    31
  245. I'd be the one to yell "THAT'LL BUFF RIGHT OUT!"

  246. It wasn't an attack, it was a smoking accident. It's just that the orcs smoke such strong ciggies.

  247. It's established now that if a UPS truck is hijacked, US cops will shoot the hijackers, the driver, and any bystanders so if you're a UPS driver, do whatever you're gonna do because you're gonna die.
    31
  248. That sounds amazing. Unless you're in the top 10% you'll get really lousy education in the USA. I mean, there's so much history we were not taught, forget all the practical skills you mention. It was mainly a place to keep us so we were not out on the street. To give an idea, when I was out of high school, I wanted to go to college and I paid on my own to take classes like "Pre-Algebra". Also, if you do become college educated in the USA, your working in our chosen degree and earning any more then a laborer, depends on your race and class, not your ability. As for the learning guns and stuff, I can't imagine students not finding that pretty fun. And yes, it would make Basic Training a lot easier. People will do better with things they grew up with. In my case, it was walking for miles, and barefoot too! So when I went into the army, the marches didn't bother me a bit, and I never got a blister.
    31
  249. I bet that tiger could smell gun smells on the hunter. Guns have smells, of oils and cleaners and gun powder and primer. Very distinct.

  252. And today's PSA: From the river to the sea, Israel is Yehudi

  253. The homeless women started on the wrong foot and it went worse from there. When she was told it's private property, she should have said she didn't know although she thought it might be, and have apologized. Then, she should have seen if she could stay on as a sort of caretaker, and this is very important: not brought in tons more crap and drawn weird stuff all over etc. This is what the homeless don't seem to understand, that wherever you are, you need to be an asset, make the place a bit better, so people want you around.
    30
  254. Oh hellz yeah. If you possibly can, get out where you can be at least mostly self-sufficient. A garden, chickens, etc.
    30
  255. Oh those orcs and their strong cigarettes!

  256. I've lived here in San Jose, California and didn't have running water, either. People don't understand the US has a huge "internal third world". I still make less than $20k a year and I've learned to not talk about my work because if I do, people get this look of desperation in their eyes and ask if my employer is hiring. LOL it's just my employer, an old friend from non-collapse times, paying me and I'm a 1099 worker, no benefits. This is in Silicon Valley, a "rich" area. Sure, I can hop on my bike and ride a mile north and I'm in what I call "Dilbertville" where all the tech companies are, but I can ride a mile south and it's poor, poor people, houses held up with boards, huge homeless encampments (and homeless camped out here and there all over the place) and the cars sound like the cars in old movies. The better-off people get to wash their clothes with washboards, and the really-well off can afford the laundromat. The USA is a third-world nation with a big military and that's it.
    30
  257.  @Tom_Nicholas  This is absolutely the case in the US. I live in "Silicon Valley" which is a wealthy area, and yet we have tons of people living in the street, impoverished, half-starved if they're not physically fit enough to literally fight for survival, and we lose a dozen or so to cold each winter. This place is a perfect Galapagos Islands type showcase of capitalism.
    30
  258. The cyber cafes work in Japan because Japanese are raised to be neat and clean and considerate of others. The same cafes in the US would be like a public bus just not moving, but full of bums pissing in the corners, shooting up drugs, and stealing the computes to sell for drugs. Then one of them would burn the building down.
    30
  259. Geez, I can't be the only one that remembers all the bus bombings and other acts of terrorism .... That wall has made a HUGE difference.
    29
  260. That is how you get a job. You schmooze. You know a fishing story, and a few hunting jokes, and quips about at least the major sports teams, and a handful of Dad jokes, and so on. What you know or how competent you are, are almost coincidental.
    29
  261. Reagan, who put all the mentally ill on the streets, who started a new cold war with the USSR, who funded death squads in S. America, who fostered the "War On Drugs" and the crack epidemic, who ignored AIDs ... yep you're pretty much right. Besides the 'Rump's daddy issues with Papa Hitler.
    29
  262. What I really love about these is the backgrounds, just the street scenes, it's so clean and orderly compared to the USA and there are no homeless and drugged-out zombies staggering around.
    29
  263. Who downvotes simple reporting of the news?
    29
  264. That wheedling, whining voice of his is horrible to listen to, he sounds like Ol' Gil the salesman on The Simpsons, after Gil's had a hard decade or two on the bottle.
    29
  265. Our government has advised for decades to be ready for at least the first 72 hours to survive on your own, and to network and help each other. This is decades old advice.
    29
  266.  @WestSide1207  The illegals are not getting any subsidies citizens can't get. Got kids? WIC, food stamps, health care for them because we as a society have decided it's best that way. If you own a car you're not poor. When I lived in Orange County the immigrants would get around on bikes or the bus, no whining, they'd just work. Food is not crazy expensive, just cook at home.
    29
  267. This is a good one. I love watching the background, no drug-addled homeless lurching around like you'd see a few of in street scenes in the US. Good, reasonable, answers.
    29
  268. Only invaded half of Poland.
    28
  269. China lifting people out of poverty, USA putting millions into poverty ....
    28
  270. Idea: You should try going to other American places in the middle of the Pacific like American Samoa and Guam. That would be really interesting.
    28
  271. It hit the blue states first because they're coastal and have air travelers coming in.
    28
  272. The Arabs have other countries, Arab countries, they can go to. Jews have one country. Their home. For the Arabs it's just colonization as they've always done (remember at one time they invaded a good part of Europe) it's just land. For Jews it's existence itself.
    28
  273. This I'm not quite white enough for most of the mainland, but in Hawaii I'm the hated "haole" and it means there are tons of jobs (the better ones) I can't get, places I can't live, places I can't go, etc. I worked very hard to get out of Hawaii and I feel very nostalgic but I think it's highly foolish to be nostalgic about a place where I'm a 2nd class citizen and in a fair amount of danger.
    28
  274.  @JackoNorm  Don't ever let your country become like the US, not ever-ever. Consider us an example of what not to do.
    28
  275. Bold statement that the US is the most developed country in the world. It's kind of surprising we're allowed to be counted as an OECD country as we have the lowest life expectancy (which is falling) no public health service, education extremely expensive, etc.
    28
  276.  @JDMNINJA851  Because we're a shithole country where empathy and the concept of "we live in a society" are just about outlawed.
    28
  277. In the military you are taught some basic first aid
    28
  278. Best wishes to AMLO and I hope he is well soon!
    28
  279. I actually worked for Foodland, at the old King St. store. I was asked in the interview if I really wanted to work there as I'd be the only "haole". I did, but it was rough. I'm not a big, strong person and I got all the heavy/dirty work the others didn't want to do. When I found myself at something like 11 at night mopping the floor while some Japanese (the ruling class in Hawaii is Japanese) guy in a blue suit yelling at me, I knew I had to find another job. I went to Zippy's once. Once. I went there with my mother and since as a kid my hair was blonde due to the sun bleaching it, we sat at a table and were ignored, and ignored, and ignored some more. We eventually got the message and left and ate somewhere else.

  280. Limbaugh: Morbidly obese, deaf due to burning out his hearing with his huge opiate addiction, what a hero.
    27
  281. From the river to the sea, Israel is Yehudi
    27
  282. It's like that all over the US. And with social mobility so low in the US, I've seen papers with titles like "Your Zip Code Is Your Destiny". In France, the public education is uniform no matter whether you're rich or poor. That's the way to do it.
    27
  283. I remember ARMs or Adjustable Rate Mortgages were popular just before the last crash.
    27
  284. The artwork is quite similar to that of American "Indians" of the US Northwest like the Haida. And, the Haida for example were another example of a civilization where people could stay in one place but didn't have to farm - the environment was rich enough to support large numbers of people on fishing, hunting, gathering.
    27
  285. That guy talking about "No fear" needs to be reminded that the Jews who were slaughtered had no fear, they'd thought they were friends with the local Arabs for many years. Then the Arabs who they thought were friends came in and slaughtered them and took many hostage.
    26
  286. We had a war of independence because we didn't want to be ruled by a king. Read up on it, it's really interesting.
    26
  287. Vodka, potatoes, vodka, sausage, vodka, cooked Ukrainians' pets, and vodka. Did I mention vodka?
    26
  288. Something like 13 empty houses for every individual homeless person. Capitalism is the real problem.
    26
  289. @ghost mall Everyone smoked everywhere. It was nuts. Even in the 90s, used computer equipment was often stained a sickly yellowish or brownish color due to being in an office where everyone smoked. You can imagine what those offices smelled like!
    26
  290. This. I would fail "the marshmallow test" every time as a kid. And I've tested a fair number of standard deviations above the average in IQ and am good at planning and saving now. But when I was a malnourished kid I'd have crammed that marshmallow in my mouth right away, 100% of the time. Why? Because not only was I hungry, but adults were not very trustworthy or predicable, and I'd been fooled by their lies before. The usual adult lies like, "Stick around home because Dad's coming by with some money so we can buy food". I learned how much of a lie that one was most of the time, and learned to blow off the chance to see my dad in favor of taking my pole and going fishing so I'd KNOW I'd get something to eat. Once I was out on my own and able to earn my own money and procure my own food, live in my own place, that part of my brain magically developed right away and I was able to save and strategize and plan, because I no longer had to worry about my food, my money, etc being taken away from me.
    26
  291. It's that whining, wheedling tone of voice. Like a really desperate used-car dealer with some sort of addiction he has to feed.
    26
  292. Growing up here in the US, we were taught the "Standard Breakfast" which was a big bowl of sugary/starchy breakfast cereal, if the cereal wasn't glazed with sugar you were to put a tablespoon or two of table sugar on it. This was accompanied by fruit, toast, a glass of milk (in addition to the milk on the cereal I think) and an equally big glass of orange juice and Europeans take note here: American orange juice is very strong and syrupy. So the idea is to get kids used to a diet based on sugar and carbohydrates early-on. Also it's really pushed here in the USA that kids hate vegetables. This is not true, at least not in my case, veggies are awesome. But there's so much said about kids (and adults) hating vegetables that it's really common to eat a week of meals with only a few servings of veggies over the whole week. Sugar and carbs are king.
    26
  293. Yeah, well, Georgians also thought slavery was cool and marrying their relatives was the way to go so ....
    26
  294.  @blainejudd5693  They go because Hawaii's such a famous place, has beaches that actually out-do those in Okinawa, has an interesting local Japanese culture, and yet it's also part of America, so they get some of that experience also. Most of the Japanese who immigrated to Hawaii 100 or so years ago were from Okinawa.
    25
  295. I hope he holds a really epic wing-ding, foaming at the mouth and screaming, so tons of people can dub on other stuff like that Hitler scene in Downfall. It's really hilarious watching Hitler get all ripshit over emo bands. It's gonna be better watching the Orange Turd foaming at the mouth over brands of suppositories etc.
    25
  296. They're basically gobs of sugar. No, not healthy. Normally, you'd eat whole fruit and you'd pretty much only eat in the the autumn to pack on fat for the winter.

  302. Ammonia can apparently cross the blood-brain barrier and in alcoholism, one of the delightful things that can happen to you is you go all coocoo due to lots of ammonia in your brain. Alcoholism is really a cornucopia of awful things that can happen to the body, brain, and mind. And it's not AA, but learning about these things that made me finally quit and stay a non-drinker. Getting close to 2 years now. This coconut story is rather terrifying though. I grew up in Hawaii and we're talking about "in the old days" when it was normal to go out and gather fruit including coconuts. We kids used to joke about rotten coconuts and frankly, I can easily imagine one or more of us little shits daring one of our number to take a swig or two of rotten coconut water.
    25
  303.  fresh B  The average "welfare mother" had her kids when things were fine. Married, settled in, everything looks OK. Then the American economy happens to her: job loss, sickness, economic crash, and there you are. My mother was one of those mothers. Had us when we were middle-class. We ended up on the poor end of poor.
    25
  304. There needs to be an "underground railroad" set up to help women escape Texas if they need to. If they're smart, they're getting out now. But not all can afford to, or they think/hope they can survive OK there. But people don't plan on having nonviable pregnancies, they don't plan on getting r@ped, etc.

  305. Hopefully there's plenty of partisan activity to keep the orcs reminded that they're not welcome. Orcs have sooooo many smoking accidents, things blow up, things catch fire ....
    24
  306. My boss's folks left Poland to get away from the Russian Empire. My mom's side of the family got out of Lithuania to get away from the Russian Empire. I really hate to admit this, but I honestly thing General Patton might have been right that we ought to have taken what was left of the German Army and headed East, and given Russia the General Sherman treatment.
    24
  307. This. The USA is hyper-individualistic and the "culture" is eating itself.

  310. You know all the chords, and you can't impress a gal?
    24
  311. "Regular Man (or Woman) Living Normally In Israel" videos are the best "hasbara" people want to see how it is for an average person, not a celebrity. Celebrities can create their own reality, have a whole street cleared, hire actors to be the "ordinary people" on the street etc., but regular people can't do this, for instance Corey can't control what the traffic looks like, the other people on the street in the background etc., it's what attracted me to his videos years ago. The best hasbara is the truth and the best look at the truth is videos that show regular life for regular people in Israel.
    23
  312. Hang in there Italy; every country reaches its peak and then tapers off. It's awful but think in the past, there was smallpox, plague, typhus, all kinds of awful diseases we used to have to worry about.
    23
  313. He did that because he'd forgotten why he was there.
    23
  314. I have too, in the past. But the GOP is dead to me now. I'll vote for moderate Democrats. Moderate Democrats gave us the modern middle-class. Moderate Democrats won WWII. Moderate Democrats gave us the space program. The far-left and the far-right can piss right off.
    23
  315. The poor guy had a childhood like an American has! That's very sad! In America, we have a saying, "raised by wolves" which is a pretty accurate description of the (white) American way of caring for children. I'm glad he was able to put that behind him with some help from a good friend.
    23
  316. Simple: Capitalism. Capitalism is a wealth pump that never stops.
    23
  317. It's amazing, I listen to NPR all day and since the pullout everyone's taking such pains to pronounce "Taliban" properly and names, places, etc. Apparently, since the US always sides with the most evil and despotic, the US has decided that the warlords, evil as they were, were not as evil as the Taliban so now they're our Talibuddies.
    23
  318. It's always good to have a cash-stash and a "deep" pantry.
    23
  319. That's OK it's alive and well in the USA.
    23
  320. And there you have described the rest of the world's treatment of the US right now in 2020. Just get out the popcorn, sit back, and enjoy the trainwreck...

  321. Suspect is white so he was treated with kid gloves, probably stopped for Burgeg King on the way to jail.

  322. I can't think of any first-world nation that would want US style health care or lack of social safety net. Maybe someplace like Sudan or Rwanda, maybe.
    23
  323. I wish more people knew this history
    23
  324. R. Crumb certainly had his art get him laid. Bill Mauldin did far, far better with the ladies than he'd have otherwise, if he weren't a good artist. Back in the pre-computer-graphics days, artist was a solid profession and chicks dig solid professions.
    23
  325. "Where we are now"

    23
  327. That Mr. Bunny was hilarious! As for the idea of living next door to pals ... that idea bombed didn't it?
    23
  328. Poor in Italy looks like Heaven compared to poor in the US.
    23
  329. This would be Heaven for a homeless person in the US, where you're kicked out at age 18 to be on your own, sink or swim, no one cares, least of all your family.
    22
  330. In violent countries like the US you can't be prominent and live long unless you have very good security. Lennon, from England, and Yoko, from Japan, just had no idea how violent the US is.

  331. Big rule in farm country: If a gate is open, leave it open, if it's closed, leave it closed I sure hope you closed that gate after you drove through.

  332. Actually worse, somehow: A vote for Vance.
    22
  333. In the US they do this will college/trade school loans. Lend thousands to people with no job no experience etc. And they do this because in the US education loans are for life. You can't declare bankruptcy or anything to get rid of them.
    22
  334. These days it's "The Turner Diaries" which is equally dreary and horrifying.
    22
  335. Amerikkka personified. 10% fascinating, 10% hilarious, 80% scary as hell.

    22
  338. This is from 1991, but on the internet, that's just yesterday.

  339. Yep! Don't forget that he also took photos of himself with his little french fry preparer's certificate in front of hurricane wreckage that looks like the aftermath of WWII.
    22
  340. "Socialist" doesn't scare anyone under 40 these days. It's like trying to scare the under-40s with the word "Marijuana". I'm in my late 50s and I'm all for it, we need Socialism in the US.
    22
  341. In the initial chase, it looks like the cop did a wheelie from his acceleration chasing the guy lol.

  343. "US declares war on Japan" - dec. 8, 1941. Don't ever, ever look at what brought things to that.
    22
  344. A lot of these young people sound like they have their heads screwed on right. I'm in the US and it's nutz. The amount of support I see for Hamas/Hezbollah is insane, and given that there are plenty of other regional wars to get excited about, and yet it's only the one that gives people an excuse to be rabidly anti-Semitic, really makes me shake my head. Keep on keepin' on, Israel!
    22
  345. This is a GREAT documentary, congrats for the good work! I wanted to laugh maniacally at the part where it shows the French going about building reactors systematically and rationally and the total production anarchy of the US and the French guy saying, "That's no way to do business!".
    22
  346. Some quick searching showed me that while India's children are 4% orphans, the USA's children are 6% orphans. And in the US there's no concern or outrage at all.

  348.  @henrymmene4470  Yes but there's no work in rural areas.
    22
  349. Snap/Food Stamps is a Dept. of Agriculture program that was started in the 1930s. It's also the gold standard for aid to the poor, with fraud really low, and each SNAP dollar stimulates the economy by a few dollars.

  350. Starting WWIII would be "making history" yes...

  351. This is the spirit of the Berlin Airlift. Good to see.

  352.  @MrGelowe  The closest thing to a pandemic we were threatened by when Obama was in charge was Ebola which Obama did an outstanding job against. He had a pandemic "strike force" (which Fat Orange immediately disbanded when he came in) and this "strike force" coordinated with other countries and we contained it.
    21
  353. I'm in the US and Ozempic is being pushed like Halloween candy here. Constant ads on every form of media. The "Oh, Oh, Ozempic" ones crack me up because I think "Oh, Oh, Okole" (Hawaiian for rear end, where those shots might go lol). The thing with Ozempic is, all it does is make you eat a bit less, right? Hey, why not try eating a bit less?
    21
  354. If I were Russian and got out of Putin's Russia, I'd not return no matter how they ask me to come back because it will be like after WWII, when Russians came back and were immediately put in the gulag or killed.
    21
  355. Election night 2016. I was in a food court sort of place in my downtown which gets a certain number of international travelers because of the big hotels nearby. I'd never felt so embarrassed in my life. I myself was in a nice hotel in Japan when there was a photo of the destroyed Oklahoma City building on the front page of the paper. I didn't feel embarrassed then, it was just America being America. But this clown actually getting into the White House .... urgh.
    21
  356. The 'Rump wanted to kill more Americans than his role model Hitler did, and he succeeded.
    21
  357. That's good mothering in the US South except it'd not be vodka, it'd be moonshine.
    21
  358. It seems a pretty dependable thing that the US can be counted on to back the most evil regime. We were rah-rah behind the Nazis until they started attacking allies and then one of their allies attacked us. We've just backed out of Afghanistan and given them an army's worth of weapons and vehicles, aircraft and tanks etc. because we finally figured out that the Taliban is just a bit more evil than the warlords we'd been backing - and they were pretty horrible.
    21
  359. I never thought we Yanks would be teaming up with the Germans to defend against the Russians but here we are. General Patton, you were right.

  362. It's called printed books.

  363. Exactly. There's no way they'd get even the lowest-level security clearance if their politics were known. Let's hope there's lots of room at Ft. Leavenworth.

  366. Yeah me too. Joe it's been going knowing you and voting for you. But if he felt he wasn't going to be up to the job, it's a noble thing to step down.

  367. What's funny is every scientific show like this I find, are all dubbed shows that are from Germany, Japan, China, etc because the USA doesn't make anything any more.

  371. Attacking pirates on the open sea to keep routes of travel open and safe is not only allowed but encouraged in international law. In fact, the US Marines were founded to fight the Barbary pirates, it's where that "shores of Tripoli" line in the Marines song comes from.

  374. I love your videos because the Hebrew you speak is nice and simple, and it's possible to learn a bit, because your pick nice locations where the viewer can get a "man in the street" impression of Israel, and you talk with such a nice variety of people in a variety of situations. Keep up the good work!

  375.  @ramonpineda7514  Look up Sikh "Langur" it's free food for all comers at their temples. Sikhs don't fukh around. I go to the post office a lot and lots of Sikhs work there - awesome people.
    20
  376. In a way this reminds me of the 1970s. The 1970s in the USA were really bad. Very hungry times. I'd have maybe one t-shirt, just as few clothes as possible, and got good at foraging and finding interesting things to eat. I was very skinny then. But people realized that you can't get ahead by acting like typical Americans and they relaxed more and were a tiny bit more empathetic.

  387. I didn't know Austria resisted Nazism to the extent of actually throwing Nazis in prison. Good for them. Watching this, I can see that it's a pretty good analogy of Germany = US and Austria = Canada.

  388. It's as simple as that - Confucianism vs. hyper-individualism. I am white-passing and grew up in US white culture and it sucks - no one cares about anyone.

  389.  @sawyerawr5783  Yep they did a crap job of bombing, really. And that's amazing about the railroad ... I grew up in Hawaii and trains were mythical things. There was rumor there'd been a train line on Oahu but it was just vague "legends from long ago".

  391. It sounded to me like she didn't want an ambulance called. So eventually the "homeboy ambulance service" (the fishermen) took her to the hospital. I'm not sure how it is where this lady was found, but in the USA it's very common for someone to not want the ambulance called because it's life-ruining expensive. They'll have friends take them, take an Uber, take a cab or the bus etc.

  395. I'm really glad I don't "play the market" as my grand-aunt put it. I was telling a buddy yesterday that I'd been with a certain tech company since they were about 7 people, and that I'd had about 7 grand in a 401k there, in company stock. When I'd left the company I didn't want anything to remind me of the place so I had them liquidate the stock and "give me the money". Not saying that's the smartest thing, but that's what I did. I looked up the company's stock now and it's the same as it was in the late 80s - bouncing around between $15 and $25 a share. So 7 grand back in 1989 or so would be .... 7 grand now. Worse than US Savings Bonds. Far worse than silver dimes buried in a coffee can somewhere. Far far worse than judicious investment in certain firearms (a normal person could still buy a Luger back then).

  400. I want to repeat something I said about your videos years ago: in the USA, if you set up asking questions and spending several minutes in many cases, on the wealthiest main streets here in "Silicon Valley", there's no way you'd not see a homeless beggar digging in trash cans in the background, or coming up to you / your interviewee begging for money, often not leaving until you pay them off I am in a very wealthy part of the USA, so-called "Silicon Valley" and the poverty and squalor here is off the hook. And in Israel, people walk, they go to cafes and they talk, and I mean real conversations in the USA you will get told to go away and never come back if you hold any conversation beyond very trivial things like the weather and even then, not too many words.
    19
  401. There are thermal features in the town of Calistoga, California and just because you see plants and reeds growing in the water, doesn't mean it can't be hot as hell. The vegetation that's growing around hot water has evolved to put up with it and hot water that would kill any ordinary plants and reeds doesn't hurt them. If you see steam coming up, it's hot!
    19
  402. I like the new graphics.
    19
  403. I live in Silicon Valley and I'd not touch a bank with Silicon Valley in the name with a 10-foot pole. That name just screams "scam" to me, being familiar with the ethics of this place, which are close to nonexistent. I make less than $20k a year and a lot of people here make less than I do. It's a poor area with a few rich people.

  404. I'm impressed. I mean, a few of us elite can drop out of high school and GED out, but kicking the principal? In elementary school? I have to admit that's kind of cool.

  405. He's leaning on the podium a LOT and a lot of it isn't obvious, because his belly protrudes quite a bit, he can lean his belly against the podium leaving his little hands free to wave around, but he's also doing a lot of one-handed gesticulating, as he can't really stand without something to lean on, for very long at all.

  409.  @gooldii1  Russia is a Dark Ages festering pustule. I find it amazing that my boss's family left Poland - then part of the Russian Empire or at the very least too close to it, my mom's folks left Lithuania, part of the Russian Empire then, and this is a really common thing. Russia is this dangerous beast you have to escape.

    18
  413. I'm just reflecting that the 90s were really not crazier than now .... indeed the "gun community" was every bit as loony, books like this one and the Turner Diaries were hot stuff, there were raids on militias, Waco, Ruby Ridge, Oklahoma City (I was over in Japan when that happened and I'll tell you, there's nothing like the feeling of taking the day's newspaper out of its little holder just outside the door of one's hotel room and seeing a photo of a massive bombing back home....) there was serious talk of "flag laws" remember those? You couldn't burn or 'desecrate" the flag...
    18
  414. Japan definitely has homeless. There are many videos about it, including the really good 4-part series by "Life Where I'm From" on YouTube here. I also recently saw one about a (by Japanese standards) really bad ghetto area in/near Tokyo actually not far from a huge famous temple, that's not named on the maps it's considered so bad. That being said, I'd happily live in any Japanese ghetto. The reason why is: (1) Japan has sensible drug laws. I'll say no more, except to say I am not being sarcastic here. (2) Japanese are raised in a culture that's "human" rather they hyper-individualistic. (3) Japanese are raised not glorifying violence. Violence is much lower. (4) "Family" actually means something in Japanese culture - it means nothing in the US. (5) Japanese culture emphasizes self-discipline where US culture is the opposite of this.

  422. Great work as always Corey! Applications for aliyah (moving to Israel as a Jew) are the highest since right after WWII right now. There are two concepts that are difficult for Americans to understand that are answered pretty well here. First, the concept of "vacation" - only the wealthy have those in the US, and the idea of taking time off to relax, for everyone even the working class, is a difficult one to understand. The 2nd difficult concept is that of having a motherland that one loves and is loyal to. If there are difficult times, normal people want to help their motherland not run away because of fear/opportunism.

  430. Feynman was far from ordinary. Far, far from it. Hell I've made it into Mensa and score higher than something like 90% of Mensa members. IQ tests are a good measure of ... passing IQ tests. And I only took the Mensa test because I thought it would help me find a job somehow. Feyman was remarkable and I think more recognition should come to his father, who I feel really made him who he was. Feynman's life is a delightful rabbit hole to go into.

  433. Correction: The autobahn system had been laid out, land chosen, etc by the Weimar government. The Weimar government only lacked the money to buy the land. When sHitler came in, well, you didn't say No to the Nazis if they wanted to buy your land, no matter how low the price.
    18
  434.  @Rikka_V1  Yes in the very most poor and fucked-up countries but the US lags far behind all the other "first world" countries and most "developing" countries as well for medical care. People in the US need to get a lot more angry about this.

It makes sense that he was working on this, as covid made his usual travel difficult or impossible, and there's an absolute ton of video out there on the subject. So no need to travel, really. BTW the first bit about Eduard Bernays is covered quite well in Adam Curtis' Century Of The Self which is great.

  438. Feelin' like 1930s Germany out there .... we all know how this ends.
    17
  439.  @Danneman92  Yep there are companies here in the US you can sign on with, to be a "contractor" and that could mean something like working in food service on one of our many, many bases and overseas operations but a lot of "contractors" are just plain mercenaries.
    17
  440. I'm in "Silicon Valley" and make $350 a week out of which I have to save aside 20% for taxes, as I'm a 1099 worker and I'm a lot better off than a ton of people here in "Silicon Valley".
    17
  441. The USA is just entering an epic period of childlessness now. Many young people feel it would be cruel to bring a child into life in the US - with a much bleaker future and much crueler culture than Japan - and are electing not to. My own family is an example. There were 5 of us, so my parents had 5 kids, and none of us have kids at all. 5 down to 0.
    17
  442.  @Nuttymike  Almost certainly even worse. 10 years ago was 2012, when it seemed like things might be all right. Obama was still in office! It sounds corny but there was hope. Now .... I don't know ... I wonder how many of them are still even alive...
    17
  443.  @kaworunagisa4009  you can get less expensive cuts of beef like heart, trimmings, etc and you can also look into using lamb as it's often quite cheap and while I'm not a cat myself, I find it tasty and cats probably would too.
    17
  444. I make just under $14k a year and yeah, it's just enough to live and pay my taxes (as a 1099 worker) but not really enough to save up anything. I'm paying into Social Security so that's good, but I'd like to be able to save money to retire on also.

  446. They set up free testing at our local stadium where I am in San Jose, California. 45 minutes' wait in line, fill out some paperwork, nurse goes deedly-deedly-deet in my nostrils with a swab, and that's it. I'll know in a few days if I've got it. I even got a "bobble head" doll of some hockey player to take home. My boss and I have planned; if I have it he will stay away until I test clear, and when I pack packages I can wear gloves, mask, even face shield and spray 'em with some chlorine solution before delivering them because it'll dry by the time I get to fedEx and the post office. Probably not "shop" at all until I'm clear, as I have survival foods stocked up.
    17
  447.  @Eza_yuta  "Western" people didn't even have buttons at one time, but learned about them from Asians. "Modern" clothing has a lot to do with being able to get in and out of a car, or ride a bike or on and off of a bus. I'm not sure if you can even call it "Western" so much as something like "modern industrial".

I need to watch more of these because I really gotta learn Hebrew, and listening to these, well, it's pretty easy to figure out stuff like when the guy says "tov'im" he means "good people" just little stuff like that to pick up, might be very helpful for me.
    17
  451. This is why they need to set up camps far inland, free junk food and most importantly, FREE DRUGS and put the homeless in there. Make the barracks they live in safe, secure, out of brick or cement to make it so they can't burn the place down.

  455. My understanding of Tarzan - and I'm old enough that I've read the books, as well as watched the movie that was done in the 1980s - was that Tarzan was not only white, but English, and even more important, actually of "noble" birth. And the idea all through, books and movie, was that even though Tarzan had grown up being raised by apes, because he was white, English, and noble, he was automatically stronger, smarter, more determined, brave, etc etc ETC than any other human or animal in the jungle and veldt, by far. The animals were, well, just animals and the other humans, being black, were stuck in a primitive state, living in mud huts and living in fear and superstition. In other words Tarzan was racist as hell, entertaining, but a showcase of "social theory" of the time it was written.

I'd like to see an episode on Rat Lungworm which is a thing in Asia but also in Hawaii especially on the "Big Island" as it's called locally or the island of Hawaii (biggest island called the name of the state lol) there are some good stories out there and it's something that ought to get more publicity anyway.

  465. I've got many happy childhood memories of hanging out on a snapping, crackling, popping reef and playing with various little critters. It was fun to have a pistol shrimp in my hand, lying in a bit of water, and when it would snap its claw it kind of tickled. The mantis shrimp, back home, is called "squilla" by its genus, and is considered good eating.
    17
  466. Kurt Vonnegut noted that for a while there, there was a tremendous demand for readable short stories. A lot of magazines were weekly, and a competent short story writer could make quite a tidy living. When television came in this changed but it's entirely possible that old L. Ron sold quite a few stories during this period.
    17
  467. This one harks back to the classic Corey videos when I discovered him years ago. It's not just the interviews, it's the street scenes in the background. I live in a wealthy part of the US, the so-called "Silicon Valley" and you could not film street scenes like these without seeing homeless people digging in trash cans, maybe a druggie or three, barefoot and wrapped in a filthy blanket, shuffling by, insane drivers trying to run pedestrians over, etc. Viva Israel! I will be living there in a couple of years!
    17
  468. Here comes fire season again .... guess I need to look at some serious respirator because I get around by bike and last year I just breathed that red air but I'm not sure that's all that good for me. Gotta rig up one of those box fan air purifiers for indoors too.
    17
  469. In my experience, tataki means it's seared on the outside. Not much of a smoky flavor, just seared very hot on the outside so there may be tiny parts actually turned into charcoal, but the inside still raw. Frankly the outside does look kind of like it's made of concrete, that sort of flat greyish color. Great and now I want some.

  472. Salinger was a writer in despair. He'd served in WWII and had been present at the liberation of some of the concentration camps. He hated what made humans, human: The ability to hold ulterior motives or "hidden" motives. This is why Holden loves his little sister so much - she's not mature enough yet to have this second-order type of thinking. Like a puppy dog, she's straight out with her emotions and thoughts, with no layers to them. Anyone with layers is a "phony" because to Salinger, anyone who can have layers or hidden motives in their thinking is capable of setting up another Auschwitz if they're able. John Lennon would have fallen from favor because he was a real, mature, human being with changing ideas and goals in life. People like Chapman wanted The Beatles to stay together and just sing simple pop songs like it's 1962 forever.

    16
  478. The US fought a two-front war in WWII and our war plans have involved fighting a two-front war ever since. In the 80s I was in a part of the US Army that was dedicated to preparing for an Asian/Pacific front while one of my siblings was in another part that prepared for a European front.

  498. For a while my mum drove us to "Our Lady Of Sorrows" school in Wahiawa from Pupukea where we lived, and put the radio on to "stay awake> as she put it, and thus I heard a ton of Motown, a genre I still love to the marrow of my bones.

  501.  @schmal911  Agree. To me truckers are "the knights of the road" and that will never change. They drive for a *living*. But a truck is not a car. It's not even a big SUV. They can't zip around, they need wider turns, they have blind spots, etc. And the rear ends of trucks have long scared me more than the front ends, now I know why after seeing this. Give truckers some room. Don't cram into a corner or tight turn with a truck. Be aware of their blind spots. Don't expect them to stop on a dime. And they sure can't squirt ahead.
    16
  502. Yep! If you ate the meat and fillings (veggies) of a kebab but in a lettuce wrap and washed it down with some unsweetened tea or diet soda or something that doesn't have sugar in it, you would be quite svelte on kebabs.

  504. Yep given up on having a motor vehicle, do most of my cooking at home now, ideally I'd do all my own cooking but there are times it's easier to get something from a cheap mom'n'pop place. Very big on thrifting or .... things can get cheaper than that if you keep your eyes open.
    15
  505.  @mr.x653  Err, no. There are honest scientific estimates that in the year 1491, there were numbers of "American Indians" like that. Keep in mind, European germs traveled faster across the continent than Europeans themselves, and there are interesting theories that the "Plains Indian" cultures were actually post-apocalyptic "Mad Max" sort of cultures, adopted by the remnants of once-populous tribes who were settled and "civilized".

  506. Israelis prefer not to live under Arab colonialism, yes.
    15
  507. I still can't get over how the reich wing doesn't remember how their Saint Reagan pardoned million of illegal immigrants back in the 80s.
    15
  508. Israel will turn it into gardens and farms and nice neighborhoods and seaside places, I look forward to vacationing there.
    15
  509. Just a note to all: Corey doesn't come up with these questions himself. They're sent in by viewers.
    15
  510.  @davidg1594  The Aryans? You mean those nice folks from India who run the hotels? That sounds fun, really. They know tons of great vegetarian recipes, and have fun holidays like Holi.
    15
  511. This seems better all the time. Biden took one for the team and now Donnie's the old, out-of-the-loop one. Kamala will run loops around him in any debate.
    15
  512. It's like when someone says, "I'm not racist....." and you brace yourself for the line of racist shit that immediately follows.
    15
  513. Poor barefoot haole kid gang represent! Yeah, I think I could stand being back for about 2 weeks. I moved to the mainland in my early/mid 20s and the place has spoiled me, I can't be happy being back home and being a 2nd class citizen. Mainland or Someplace That Isn't Hawaii for me for now on.
    15
  514. What amazes me is how good these guys look in 2017, they have to be at least in their 90s.
    15
  515. The US has a third-world level social safety net, very poor access to medical care for the non-wealthy, and at least until recently, a medical industry that was pushing opiates for profit. And we wonder why we've got so many opiate addicts?
    15
  516. Americans and Brits alike need to cut the shit when it comes to dissing the French. In another life I was an Olympic hopeful/probable and the French athletes not only had equipment that was space-age compared to our OK but kinda Meh American shit, but their training was beyond us and yep, they won more medals than us. France is a great country and the USA would not exist w/o French help. Hint: There's a reason the Statue Of Liberty came from you-know-where and Ben Franklin spent so much time in France - it wasn't for the fromage!
    15
  517. I went to high school for a few years in Kahuku, an old sugar town. The mill was still operating and there was a sort of required field trip to get a full tour of the mill, because traditionally if you were a good student you got to work in the mill. The poverty I experienced in the 70s growing up in Hawaii was something no one born after 1980 would be able to relate to unless they served in some particularly dismal part of the world in the Peace Corps.
    15
  518. I grew up in Hawaii and now live in San Jose California, there are a lot of Viet people here and I have come to love Pho', bun and rice dishes etc. Also, the sect of Buddhism I follow is of the same major branch observed by many in Viet Nam. I hope I am spelling it right, Namu Amida Phot!
    15
  519. I know, when I heard he was running I was like, "What? That guy who goes bankrupt all the time??"
    15
  520. I cut up a poblano pepper and the hotness of those can vary but this was a hot one. Then I rubbed my eyes .... I was running around trying things, saline wash, soap and water... nothing helped then I realized I had some cream for coffee not creamer but actual cream and used that and whew, the relief!
    15
  521. We have what's called the "school to prison pipeline" and at one point I was probably headed, with my two younger siblings, right down that chute. I decided to get us out of there and while life was still not easy, at least we didn't end up slaves in prison.
    15
  522. About 400.000 US service personnel were killed in WWII and that took 5 years. The 'Rump wants to out-do his father figure and hero, Adolf Hitler, by killing more and in a shorter time. So he's aiming to kill more than 400,000 and he'll have done it in about a year.
    15
  523. Their E-meter is a simple ohm meter but it uses an older type of movement, not the D'Arsonval movement used in all analog meters from about WWII on, but an older type called a taut-band movement. Long ago I had a book with schematics of these meters and a ton of other stuff on "the tech" from the old Dianetics days (pre-Scientology) and if I still had it I'd put it on every torrent possible. But their meter is simple, simple, simple.
    15
  524. Those peppers look very interesting, like shishito peppers but a lot larger than the ones I see in the US. And mixing miso into meatballs, that's an interesting idea.
    15
  525. Drilling gas tanks was a thing back in 08 and 09 when the economy was really bad. And, gasoline being a liquid actually keeps the drilling site cool. Plus, "drilling" may be a euphemism, since they could just punch something in.
    15
  526. I've heard it's very hot there and that's the only caveat. I've heard the top tip is to wear silk shirts and don't tuck them in.
    15
  527. 2:58 - this guy has the correct view. Also From the river to the sea, Israel is Yehudi
    15
  528. We have networks dedicated to hatred like Fox News and a lot of right-wing echo-chamber media channels that are dedicated to turning the US into a whites-only Christian-only ethnostate. Flynn recently said the quiet part loud by saying only Christianity would be allowed in the US.
    15
  529. There are going to be a hell of a lot of us in the US who are on Canada's side.
    15
  530. @Porky Minch Is Malaysia starting wars all over the world? No. Poverty well, how many homeless do they have? (Answer, very few to none). Economy's plenty good enough, any tech savvy person knows tons of tech stuff is made there, plus it's a nice tropical area with farming etc. Trading? See above.
    15
  531. Kinda like the superpowers...
    14
  532. Exactly. When I heard Tubby was running, my reaction was, "Oh, that guy who goes bankrupt all the time?"
    14
  533. This is a big reason why recruiters are not getting enough people. Since the internet but especially lately, there's been a very free flow of information about how the military, like every other US employer, will happily leave you in a ditch once you're no longer "profitable".
    14
  534. I don't think coyotes have actual fear. I've seen them traipsing down regular old streets and they just don't have a care in the world. Yeah they'll run from something bigger, but that's just common sense. I doubt there's much that actually rattles them.
    14
  535. End-stage syphilis.
    14
  536.  @1Kent  If you've lived in the field you know ways to clean up, a gallon of water can bathe you very well, you can also scrub up with Windex, no shit, it gets you clean and no you won't smell like Windex when you're done.
    14
  537. You honestly think the US and USSR had them separate? Oh you sweet summer child.
    14
  538. I'm not sure I'll ever really understand, at the gut level, how much Obama becoming President (not once but twice!) enraged the American Taliban. Incidentally, I just got a copy of Obama's book about his life, growing up etc. so I'm in for a good read. People need to take a chill pill, Obama's the classiest President we've had since JFK.
    14
  539.  @stanleyhood4343  Yep, Polish etc. They wanted to exterminate the "non-Aryan" people but those they decided were "Aryan" were to be saved. I knew a guy who was Polish but was brought into Germany and raised as a German, has a German name now. They didn't have DNA then so they went by things like head shape and eye color.
    14
  540.  @gbart7857  Good point. Until WWII, to the average American, "hunting rifle" would have meant a lever-action.
    14
  541.  @Cannakin  If Judaism is V1.0, Christianity is V2.0 and Islam V3.0 in Islam Jesus is considered a prophet, just not God - God has no human form. The basic ideas are much more alike than different which is why they're called the Abrahmic religions
    14
  542. Madame Curie was an "underground teacher" as in the Russian Empire, it was illegal for Poles to speak Polish and illegal to educate their children. Curie was out there teaching math etc like it was a crime, because it was.
    14
  543. My own mother went through this in the 1970s in Hawaii. She got a job cleaning hotel rooms which is considered a very good job, but the manager changed the requirement for the job that she must have sex with him, so she quit. She eventually found another job that didn't have such requirements.
    14
  544. Has anyone noticed? He sounds like a high school dropout.
    14
  545. In all fairness those Santa Cruz forests in the mountains are beautiful but thoroughly infested with meth addicts and all kinds of craziness is always going on.
    14
  546. I've watched a lot of OLD TV shows and movie serials because I'm old and my boss, who's into 'em, is older. Stuff like Commander Cody and so on. And the bad guys sound EXACTLY like Donnie Dumpo. The "Chee, Bawss, I didn't tink uh dat!" way of speaking. Diaper Don strikes me as someone who wanted to be a mafioso and wasn't smart enough and the Mafia kinda let him hang around the periphery of things. The Russian mafia are less picky and are happy to lend Financial Disaster Don money, as long as he follows their orders.
    14
  547. Chandler Absher - Nope not made up; plenty of poor and starving on the streets of the US everyday.
    14
  548. Lower-class American English is ... very hard to understand if you're used to proper English. They sort of sputter and mutter and grumble, and I can't put a finger on it, but they can be very hard to understand.
    14
  549. Everyone's seen a photo of how a sneeze spreads in their Health textbook in high school. Gross.
    14
  550. Yeah it would almost have to be scripted, Donnie trying to re-enact Teddy Roosevelt's attempted assassination. Fake blood and all. And in the end, Teddy's Bull Moose party didn't win. Donnie's just trying to get more attention/donations. I feel sorry for the kid, fall guy.
    14
  551. In cases like this, not only the thugs but their entire families need to be punished for murder.
    14
  552. Yep I've done the red state thing. I like to say, "95% white, 95% Republican, 95% on Welfare" and the crime was horrendous. And ... thank you for your service.
    14
  553. All the virus has done is accelerate ongoing trends. Joblessness, inability to own a car, suicides, more local shopping, "Victory Gardens" and farmer's markets both official and "underground" etc.
    14
  554. That's actually a good idea. Trailer park heroes will sell each other out in a heartbeat so they can buy more opiates. No kidding.
    14
  555.  @jamesgribben798  70 million trumptards in the US, we think we might have something like The Troubles ahead. Random bombings and shootings because Trump's followers think that dead children etc will make things better somehow.
    14
  556. I lived on a boat a few times as a kid, and yeah, you're always damp, you and everything else are a level more dirty than living on land, and there are constant repairs and different ways of doing things. I'd rather live in an RV than on a boat.
    14
  557.  @onemercilessming1342  To calculate what those prices would be today, just think in silver. 3 silver dimes are worth about $6 right now so there you have it. $6 a lb although bacon's often a bit more than that these days, it depends on where you shop.
    14
  558. Even Hitler had a better speaking voice. The Dump sounds like a desperate, wheedling used car salesman.
    14
  559. They need to bring back flophouses, rooming houses, SRO hotels etc. When I was a student in Hawaii I paid $125-$175 for a room in a rooming house and it worked fine. No drinking no drugs no overnight guests and they wanted you to be in bed by 10 (if you were gonna be up later there were late-night coffee shops and the college library) and you had to clean the floor and kitchen and bathroom on your day of the week but it was quite affordable. These days a similar setup might be $500, give that the minimum disability payment or Social Security is almost a thou, and food stamps will take care of food money, it's quite live-able.
    14
  560. We can't screw this up. I don't blame you for following our politics, it's like how anyone who cared about their future would have been following Germany politics 1929 on.
    14
  561. It's not even public opinion, it's a very noisy, small, minority.
    14
  562. I busted out laughing both times they ralphed up the pizza!
    14
  563. That's where the tall poppies growwwwwwwwwww....
    14
  564. Yep in the USA everyone is on their own. Works out fine if you're in the top 10%, not so great for the 90%. Family means nothing. I have millionaire relatives who'd cut their hands off before they'd help me go back to college or get a business going again, even though I'd be able to repay them with interest.
    14
  565. Lahaina does not in fact burn down every year.

  566. Breaking Bad just hit the VHS rental store. Now everyone wants to brew their own.

  567. Sniper == get schnockered on Wild Turkey and make the shot at 10 yds. on a deer that's been lured to a salt lick or sweetcob.
    14
  568. When I had an apartment (a small, dank studio) in Sunnyvale for $800 a month, I used to laugh at my friends with houses because I was paying less than their utility bills!
    14
  569. I remember the first time I had broccoli. I asked my mom, "What is this, little trees?" My mom ordered, "It's broccoli, eat it; it's good." And I did. And it was. I love broccoli.
    14
  570. Half of American workers make $30k or less. I make about $17k. Revolution's coming.

  571. That feeling when you realize you'll never taste McDonald's food again. Boycott McDonald's
    14
  572. It's true we don't go until we're dying, and these days have often checked with "Doctor Google" first. It's why there are so many self-doctoring medicines sold in the US, some of 'em "snake oil" and some not.
    14
  573. They might be polling people who are at home during business hours and on a land-line phone. In other words, OLD people. Also tons and tons of people have their phone numbers on a no-call list.

  574. USA if you're black: Phone in your hand? Doesn't matter if it's Samsung or iPhone: Death.

  575. 1:15 wow you're right!
    14
  576. The most valuable major you can "study" in the US is football. If you're poor, it doesn't matter how smart you are, you're limited to being poor. But if you're poor but physically large and good at football, you can make millions. I knew a guy who was dumber than a box of rocks but had a full-ride scholarship to Stanford because he was good at football. By "good" mostly meant, he really liked hurting people. He could go out on the field and break arms, etc., and it was approved of. After Stanford, he was set for life because he'd played football for Stanford. He went into the juvenile penal system because in that system, he could beat the shit out of teenagers and no one would say a thing. This is what the US places a high value on.
    14
  577. Hey it happens, when I was young and stupid I voted for Reagan. At least I grew up. The only people who'd for the present extremely weird GOP line would be young kids even stupider than I was, or senile oldsters.
    14
  578. I believe the problem is tritium? Tritium has a relatively short half-life and is extremely difficult to separate from water so this is indeed the best solution.
    14
  579. I knew a guy who was in Chile and was imprisoned and tortured and who knows what kind of fucked up shit he went through. He's kind of broken. There's a little plant that grows around here, and one day he said, casually, "Oh, we used that if we wanted to kill someone, we put it in their food".
    14
  580.  @kayhumph9109  Vegetables were the treat to me. I remember the first time I had broccoli. "What's this, little trees?" I asked my mother. "It's broccoli. Eat it, it's good" was the reply. And it was! And cabbage, my first thought was, Where has this stuff been all my life?
    13
  581. Becoming homeless in Hawaii is not worth shooting anyone over. The guy's a handyman, he could always find work, it's not like the mainland where winter can kill you. The problem is, as almost always, everyone knew the guy was mentally ill and getting worse, and this was preventable.
    13
  582. The Dems are center-right. The Repubs are far, far, extreme right. Something like the DSA/Bernie Sanders/Ralph Nader would be center-left. US politics are skewed wayyyy wayyyy to the right compared to those of normal countries.
    13
  583. The huge matter here is that the "Palestinians" have 39487023475234754 Arab or not Arab but Muslim countries and even regions like parts of the Philippines, other areas where they can go, even parts of France and England, as well as their home countries of Jordan etc., while Israel is the only Jewish country. In other words, as Muslims, there are tons of countries that are Muslim, aside from the fact that there are countries like the Philippines, France, the US, etc. that are nonsectarian and have large numbers of Muslims living there - and with arguably a higher standard of living than in Israel - but no, they want to be in Israel and "Push the Jews into the sea".
    13
  584. You missed out being the product of two close cousins, sniffin' a whole lotta airplane glue as a kid, graduating to huffing gasoline, has your first "experience" with a farm animal ... you missed a lot pal.
    13
  585. A very important thing to note is that in the US, once you reach age 18 you are utterly on your own. Parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, siblings, no one will help you. You are absolutely on your own.
    13
  586. A GOP that no longer exists, like the Whig Party, is the best GOP.
    13
  587. It's more maddening that the rich don't pay taxes in the US. What we're sending to Ukraine amounts to something like $4 from each of us, and I'm happy we're helping the Ukrainians not get wiped off of the face of the Earth, personally. We need to get the rich paying their fair share!
    13
  588. 7:37 - now I know my life's goal: To live in a homeless shelter in Japan. Honestly, that place looks better than about 75% of Americans live in.
    13
  589. They actually think that if they can deport or kill off all the non-whites and Democrats they'll go back to some 1950s golden age, and instead they'll end up living in something worse than East Germany.
    13
  590. Dude only lived in China for years and years and has a Chinese wife ....
    13
  591. The Nazis felt persecuted also, they claimed, and I think in many cases believed, that they didn't start WWII.
    13
  592.  @mabhodlelajj1195  No no not in danger of being killed in Singapore, Singapore was his refuge.

  593. If by "Mother Russia" you mean "Putin's lavish lifestyle" yeah...
    13
  594. I was born in 1962 so was 10 in 1972 when I started seeing the Charles Atlas ads in the comic books. There were also ads for stuff to make you "less skinny" haha. And I was indeed, very small and skinny and when I joined the Army I think I may have weighed 97 lbs but drank a ton of water to bring me up to the standard, I think 100lbs. Weakling, no not really though. I was used to walking miles barefoot and things like that so Basic Training was actually kind of fun and a little shrimp like me could sneak back into the obstacle course to do it again. I believe Charles Atlas's technique of "Dynamic Tension" was basically what modern bodybuilders do called "posing" and yes it's part of their routine. It's well, posing, tensing your muscles to make 'em look their biggest and this, plus adequate nutrition, will indeed build you up. In the 70s though, the "adequate nutrition" was the hard part.
    13
  595. As a kid in Hawaii I swam and surfed and fished where there were tons of needlefish and I never saw one jump out of the water, and they are very passive underwater. I liked to see them - they're so long and skinny!
    13
  596. What continually amazes me about these videos is, a lot of them show street scenes and you're talking to the person for several minutes, and in any US downtown street, you could not talk to someone that long without, in the background, seeing one or more homeless people digging in trash cans, pushing a cart full of trash, or even coming up to you mid-interview to beg or say crazy things. It's just not possible in the US! There is so much poverty and destitution in the US .... I know the people esp. in areas you go to like Hebron, people make a lot less money but I don't see this brutal divide between haves and have-nots there in Israel.
    13
  597. I had a fly-by-night company set up next to my shop and they did all kinds of cutting of "marble" (mostly fake) countertops and it was filling my shop with this awful white dust. I tried talking to them, telling their workers about silicosis, etc. Finally the guy confronted me and threatened me physically. I told him, "You are trying to destroy my business. I will destroy yours". I got every G.D. inspector and regulatory body involved that I could. It was hot 'n' cold running inspectors. And eventually I hounded the guy out of here. It was him or me. I was going to leave and got be homeless where the air's clean rather than get all that white crap in my lungs. As it is, the air's filthy here in Silicon Valley and I can't wait to get to retirement in a few years and get out of here.
    13
  598.  @jrambo7495  Which is why it's in everyone's cell phones, cars, laptops, etc yadda yadda.
    13
  599. Hawaii used to grow a lot of their own food. When I was a kid in the 70s we had local dairies, local agriculture, etc.
    13
  600. Keep in mind, folks, Corey is getting his questions from mostly Americans so the questions are ... dumb.
    13
  601.  @michaelamiller4567  Speaking as an American this is a factor. College is EXTREMELY expensive in the US. If you don't have a lot of wealth and a large family backing you up, you can just forget about college no matter how smart you are. And in the US there's no teamwork, everyone's on their own. It's the norm in the US for parents to kick their kids out of the house by the time they are 18 years old and to not help them with college at all. The US has very low class mobility, and there are a lot of young Americans who are smart enough to be engineers and will never get to do that, because of how hard things are here. Then they see students come from other countries and have the money for college and don't have to work to survive whilst in college, so they can study. They don't realize that the student they see from India or Korea etc., has a lot of people including their parents helping them out and have been saving up money for their college education for decades - because American parents almost never do this. It's a matter of very different cultures. Indian (and Asian etc.) cultures are normal. Parents help the kids then the kids help the parents. American culture is the opposite of this. Everyone's on their own, parents don't help the kids, kids don't help the parents, etc. We even have expressions for this like "dog eat dog" and "raised by wolves" etc. Americans are angry at the wrong people - they should be angry at the big capitalists who push this hyper-individualism because it's profitable.
    13
  602. To give an idea, sharia law is generally against abortion but would allow it in this case with no problem. This lady would literally be better off in Afghanistan.
    13
  603. Some years ago I visited Sacramento and the TV in the motel had one channel that was a neat history of the place, on about a 1-hour loop. It was interesting and I wish every city did this. The one thing that stuck with me was it said something like, "The natural state of Sacramento is 15 feet underwater".
    13
  604. This is like crying a river because someone shiv'd Charles Manson. Quit it already.
    13
  605.  @downwithtrudeau  Plus, if the homeless guy tried the shirt on, no one's going to want to buy it now because now it's all stinky. So just let the poor guy have it.
    13
  606.  @yurizabrooks3631  Too busy hating white supremacists sorry.
    13
  607. Agreed. However, the next time you're out and about, look at how much land and infrastructure is taken over by cars. Where I am it seems like it's 1/3 for humans and 2/3rds for cars. Now imagine a lot of that that's monopolized by cars given over to gardens and greenery in general.
    13
  608. 0:36 that's a skink, they're very friendly. I grew up in Hawaii with geckos in the house, they're great. They laugh you to sleep, eat mosquitos, and are cute.
    13
  609. Trying to invade Canada or Mexico would bring on civil war in the US. Panama, probably not unless it took a large number of US troops like Vietnam did. A Panama invasion would simply result in much the same things as Vietnam did - lots of draft-dodging, demonstrations, etc.
    13
  610. This is because Arabs don't give a toss for other Arabs. They're pretty much the opposite of how Israel is the nation and refuge of Jews no matter where they are. I am not religious but I've read (and watched) a ton about Jewish history, WWII, the Holocaust, the founding of Israel, etc. and I am 100% with Israel on this.
    13
  611. We in the US were all boo-hoo, tear-jerking about how the Saudis were being mean to Yemen. Well, now we know why the Saudis were fighting the Houthis and now we can join in with a clean conscience.
    13
  612. More excellence from DW. I'm in "Silicon Valley" which like the rest of the US has a very large "internal third world" with a then veneer of wealth. I make less than $20k a year, get around by bicycle, do my own cooking etc., in other words, while not perfect I think I do a fairly good job of being "ecological" and I still feel bad about the fact that I will take one final plane flight back to where I grew up because it is my home and I want my last years to be spent in my actual home. I've even looked up perhaps taking a cruise and "jumping ship" when it touches on my home port (less ecological than flying on a plane) or hitching a ride on a cargo ship (that's not really a thing any more) even buying a sailboat and sailing on my own back home isn't as "green" so there I'll be, hopping on a plane. I think tourism is a great idea but now with the internet it's possible to see so much of the world anyway, people can set up cams etc., plus, why not work on making your own area better? I know once I'm back home I plan to take part in what "ecological" activities I can and to do things to improve the place.
    13
  613. To clarify: They were not anti-Communist demonstrators, they were anti-corruption.
    13
  614. The US has a caste system based on wealth and connections. It's extremely difficult to work your way up. I grew up in some fairly rural areas and tried to work my way up and no matter how hard I worked, I've just ended up poor in the city instead of poor in the countryside. At least in the countryside I could fish, pick fruit and things, and it was a lot more fun. I feel it was a mistake to strive the way I did. In the US you're born in a caste and you're asking for a miserable life if you try to change your caste.

  615. 200-year sentence, seizure of all assets to pay restitution to the victim's family. Maybe she can keep from murdering anyone else when she's in prison working in the laundry or something.
    13
  616. It's like the scene in Schindler's List where the Jews are being marched out of town and the Germans are yelling and cheering, and the little kid yelling "Goodbye Jews! Goodbye Jews!"
    13
  617. If you're gonna go to jail, take out that dockmaster and do society a favor, and know you're in jail for a good reason. Don't let them beat you - beat them instead.
    13
  618.  @natthaphonhongcharoen  In Hawaii if you say shabu they know what you mean. Also they have a saying, "cook rice, not ice" lol.

  619. My parents had him on the TV and I had him on the cover of MAD Magazine. He was everywhere.
    13
  620. This. This is a cult at work.
    13
  621. US is going to get the South Africa treatment by the rest of the world. They'll just wall us off and let us stew in our own nasty juice.
    13
  622. You've got it backwards. It's President Musk and Dirty Diaper Don isn't even an advisor, as he's too old and senile.
    13
  623. From the river to the sea, Israel is Yehudi
    13
  624. His end-stage syphilis will have him in a rubber room somewhere.
    13
  625. I'm not sure how that's supposed to work. They can be stripped of medals for cheating or doping, not sure if they can be stripped of them for non-sport behavior.
    13
  626. Olivine/peridot is pretty much the only gem you'll find in Hawaii because the islands are so new. I used to play on a green sand beach as a kid growing up there and never thought it was unusual.
    13
  627. I sold Mr. Rader something on Ebay years ago and yep, he was an asshole.
    13
  628. You know what else can cause "chipmunk puffiness" is heavy drinking. Which can also create some very "interesting" mind states and even much greater anxiety and paranoia.
    13
  629. They're aching to sign up, for that bottle of vodka and a toilet seat.
    13
  630. in the past I have voted Republican but that party is utterly dead to me now.
    13
  631.  @louisochs9135  Comrade Conscriptovich, they took you off the front line to type in this blather?
    12
  632. Milk is $10 a gallon!
    12
  633. They voted for their Great Leader, so one must assume things worked out just how they wanted.
    12
  634. Yep they're all innocent, all innocent little angels ....
    12
  635. But we have FREEDUMB
    12
  636. Hawaii, where I grew up and where I'll retire in a couple more years, has a lot of things like this. The big supermarket chain there, foodland, lets you pay bills, get bus passes, etc. It's really nice. The mainland USA is still in the stone age even compared to Hawaii.
    12
  637. The old McCarthyism never left. In traditionally Red states like Arizona, to be, for instance, a school teacher, you have to swear you're not a Communist. These laws are still on the books and in those areas, taken seriously.
    12
  638. Everyone kicks you when you're down, it's the American Way. As I keep saying, all a potential conqueror needs to do is just sit back and wait.
    12
  639. This all happened in the town I live in now. The illustrious Hart family literally only has a dog park named after them now, and St. James Park is a haven for bums. The hanging tree was cut down not long after the hanging so it's not even still there.
    12
  640. Look at 'em all bunched up too - one good hit and it's a lot of orcs turned into good orcs.
    12
  641. Indeed, laundromats get spendy. It works out better if you just wash and then take the clothes home to hang up to dry but that depends on having a dry enough climate. I wash at home with a plunger thing but I have room to have a dedicated place to hang my clothes to dry. Not everyone has that.
    12
  642. Yes. College, your car insurance company, your apartment building, everything, they all want to know what race you are. It's pretty race-obsessed.
    12
  643. The British Dennis, known as "Dennis The Meanace", is to be found in The Beano, a sort of kids' magazine with lots of cartoons like the Bash St. Kids, Biffo The Bear, etc. It's actually pretty neat.
    12
  644. Yeah I'll be sure to get one of those tests if I have a few $thousand lying around .....
    12
  645. I'm guessing Moldova has no choice in this. It's time for a concerted effort to take Putin out.
    12
  646. American culture. We don't provide insulin for diabetics, any kind of treatment for anyone unless you're rich. We need Chairman Mao over here!
    12
  647. Your taxes are not paying into these charities. The US does pay "aid" to Israel, but they pay an equal amount to Egypt and Syria and no one complains about that.
    12
  648. Xtian death cult embodied.
    12
  649. Since when is laundry lines full of washing some kind of awful thing? That's how we always dried our clothes when I was growing up once we became poor and it works fine. I moved back there in '03 and nothing's changed, wash the clothes, hang 'em up, no problem. I was not able to make it, living back there so I left again to work some more years but I'm looking at retiring in a couple of years and will go back there for keeps.
    12
  650. From the river to the sea, Israel is Yehudi there is no "west bank" there is no "gaza" they are part of Israel.
    12
  651.  N1gerTV  Incorrect. And people wait months or years or decades in the US to get medical care because it's unaffordable.
    12
  652. Fun Fact: After Israel's war of independence, about 900,000 Jews from all around the Middle East were chased out of the countries they were in, having to leave with little more than the shirts on their backs, to take refuge in Israel. Some literally walked, just like those old movies of refugees in Europe. The "Nakba" was essentially a population exchange.
    12
  653. "They give it to you in your school lunches" - no kidding. It's normal in the US to, if a kid in school doesn't have their lunch bill paid, and hence has "lunch debt" the kid doesn't get a regular lunch they get something like a little sandwich consisting of two slices of Wonder Bread with a piece of "American cheese" in the middle. Lunch ladies will even, if a kid gets his lunch and doesn't have the money to pay, take the kid's lunch and dump it in the trash right then and there, then the kid is handed the little starvation sandwich.
    12
  654. Nazi playbook 100%. In 1920s Germany, Jews were well along assimilating and many had fought bravely for Germany in WWI. Jews were just no problem. It was like if your neighbors are Episcopalian vs. Methodist, who cares? So the Nazis need a scapegoat and they zeroed in on Jews. Zero problem became a "huge problem" due to endless propaganda. The same thing is going on now with Nazis 2.0, they're not going to zero in on Jews right away, they're zeroing in on groups who are just no problem like trans people and furries and people who dress in drag. Groups who cause zero problems compared to any other group, but a big propaganda push can be made to convince idiots that their wife left 'em and their truck wouldn't start and so on, because of furries and trans folks and yes, pretty soon, the Jews. I say we stand with the furries and the Juggalos and all these other groups the Nazis 2.0 are singling out. Never. Again.
    12
  655. It's all about stopping those droplets we all spew when we talk, cough, etc. Also a mask is a really good reminder not to touch your face.
    12
  656. DonOLD is terrible with money, always has been. He'd actually be as wealthy as he claims to be if he'd taken the money his racist old daddy had given him, and put into a passbook savings account.
    12
  657. Putin's not an idiot.
    12
  658. It is not the "West Bank" it's Judea and Samaria. There is no "Gaza" it's Gush Katif.
    12
  659. Martin Luther was incredibly antisemitic and ranted and carpet-chewed about them in his writings. So it's kind of baked in if you're a good Lutheran.
    12
  660. But they killed a "palestinian"
    12
  661. 1:04 that's a wheel bug! I almost ate one once. I didn't mean to, it was attracted by my food I guess and I wasn't looking and put the foot in my mouth and got the but too. The "wheel" on its back is to make it hard to eat, and that worked as designed - also they taste awful. The wheel bug survived, a bit beat up and with spit on him too poor thing.
    12
  662. Harriet Tubman was 100X the man he could ever be. Read about her. She was a certified badass who DID things not just flapped her yap.
    12
  663.  @jodiescookin1  the testimony of Baruch "Brian" Burgman is on youtube here .... he was helped a lot and thus survived, because he didn't look Jewish and passed himself off as Polish or German.
    12
  664. Who does not live on land they killed for? I grew up in Hawaii and before the Westerners came the wars between chiefs were epic. Island against island, etc. Hawaiian history makes Middle-Eastern history look mild.
    12
  665. The big number is called a googol not to be confused with the author Gogol and I believe the founders of Google didn't want to use a word that's already been in the vocabulary since the 1940s or so. Plus maybe they grew up enjoying Koogle peanut butter and jelly (together!) in a jar.
    12
  666. We don't need someone who says he's a 2nd FDR, we need an actual 2nd FDR who's not afraid to get things done and piss off Fascists and oligarchs.
    12
  667. They're not just fighting for Ukraine but for all of Europe. Pewtin intends to take over all of Europe or as much of it as he can.
    12
  668. This is why the anti-vax nonsense in the US but certainly not confined to the US puzzles me so much. I'm a Boomer and part of being a Boomer was, growing up, if it was the day everyone got their shots for X or Y, you lined up in the school cafeteria and you got your shots and you didn't whine about it. Then you joined the military and got more shots. Then you went to college and you needed another shot or two. You didn't question it, you did your duty.
    12
  669. He's a huge embarrassment. Plus that's the worst golf swing I've ever seen - see how his butt wiggles outward? I swear I've got a better swing and I don't even golf.
    12
  670. Where I grew up, hot dogs "have to" be dyed red. Good old red #40. There are some dumb traditions out there.
    12
  671. The place looks absolutely fantastic compared to the US. A parallel in the US might be something like the Navajo Indian Reservation. Our solution to problematic aboriginal peoples is to put them in reservations on land that's too lousy for farming, then make alcohol illegal and then have the Sheriff etc whose job it is to enforce it, somehow end up smuggling in tons of low-quality alcohol. Also no jobs, tons of drugs, etc.
    12
  672. Their homes are in Jordan, Egypt, and various other Arab countries.
    12
  673. Hiroshima was chosen because it was a "virgin target" IE it hadn't been bombed, being not militarily important. And also it has a very distinctive Y-shaped river leading into harbor formation, that could be made out even under some cloud cover. It was known as a city of temples, and also as a city where a lot of refugees of other bombed-out cities had gone to. Other than the small-time cottage industry that was everywhere in Japan, the city didn't have much to do with the war effort.
    12
  674. It's like he's one of those manga characters with no holes in his nose.
    12
  675. Gavin Newsom is talking about committing at least the crazier ones, and as we have tons of land in California, we can set up Happy Fun Camps(tm) with housing, junk food, trash TV, and all the drugs they like, where a zombie can be a zombie (and leave us working folks the hell alone!!)
    12
  676. No, the answer is in here. Sugary/starchy foods leading to diabetes, processed foods full of phosphorus salts (cola drinks and also it's used in a ton of processed foods like ramen noodles) and hypertension which is very co-incident with being overweight, getting no exercise, etc.
    12
  677. As always, from the river to the sea, Israel is Yehudi
    12
  678. The Germans started area bombing of civilians. And you've heard of the V1 and the V2, well there was a V3 which is fascinating. It was a gun system built into a mountain, and designed to obliterate London. The Allies found out about it and destroyed it before it became operational.
    12
  679. @AL Brundowski It's a matter of a very large difference in cultures. "Western", esp. English-speaking cultures are hyper-individualistic. East Asian cultures have Confucianism, and you are taught to be considerate of others. There is much, much more of a feeling of "we are all in this together".
    12
  680. A "good conservative" in the US means, taking things back to the year 1850 or so, not only in terms of human rights but in terms of science and technology too. Of course they all imagine themselves to be the plantation owner...
    12
  681. It should be noted that the US has the lowest social mobility of any "first world" country. We're more class-bound than the UK. The idea that you can work hard and it will improve your situation is pretty close to delusional.
    12
  682. Good! It will make a great honeypot, I've no doubt that the membership list will be obtainable in exchange for a few crack rocks, then you know who to round up. I hear the Skeleton Coast in Africa is nice this time of year.
    12
  683. You think poor whites eat any better foods?
    12
  684. USA is like this also. Little guy pays all the taxes. You're OK if you're young and healthy, but health care will cost more than you can make in a year, and if you actually get sick, you'll lose house, job, etc. It's a lot harsher because in US culture, family means absolutely nothing.
    12
  685. Under Sharia law she's have had no problem getting the abortion. The Bible and Qoran both cover an amazing amount on these matters.
    12
  686. OK here's an old retail trick: How many bags in hands do you see? I see a lot of empty-handed people in South Coast Plaza in your video. When an economy is in Depression, it's entirely possible to see loads of people in a mall, because walking in a mall is free, and yet see them only buying very small, frugal things like maybe a hot dog or a single scoop of ice cream. I learned this in the 08 crash.
    12
  687. I was over in Barcelona in the 90s and the native language, Catalan, had only very recently been made legal ... imagine that, an illegal language. Also, my mom's folks left Lithuania (then part of the Russian Empire) in the 1870s or so, as soon as the Czar gave the OK for people to leave if they wanted, and at the time speaking Lithuanian was illegal. They treated Poland the same, and tried to stamp out the Polish language - Madame Curie was an "underground teacher" teaching students, illegally, in the Polish language about science and Polish history.
    12
  688.  @frankbandera6591  Yes but unleashing Russia's full potential means actually having an elected leader, not the 2-bit gangster who's in charge now, who has you rubbed out if you rub him the wrong way. Russia with That Chess Dude(tm) elected could be really wonderful.
    12
  689. I grew up with a saying: "The Chinese invented everything first". #1 nation will be #1 in space.
    12
  690. A couple of notes: Firstly, author Kurt Vonnegut Jr. wrote about being in the Dresden firestorm; he was a POW. He mentions it in a lot of essays and most notably and firstly, in his book Slaughterhouse-Five. Secondly, Mr. Klemperer wrote two books, "I Shall Bear Witness" I and II I guess, which I keep hearing about and are supposed to be very good. I plan to get them both, as he apparently relates how society became more and more Fascist and difficult for anyone in any "out-group" most notably Jews, of course, but you could be anyone, including a "pure Aryan" German who had the wrong political stance and you were in hot water also. I expect reading his first book to be chilling as I am, unfortunately, an American in the US and of a family who's been here for many generations so I don't have any easy escape from this place.
    12
  691.  @davyhamadani2806  Just what he said. When I am able to retire in Israel I don't know if I will vote for Netanyahu or if he'll be in the running but I do agree with the Likud Party.
    12
  692. I heard about this on the radio and I find it quite a difference where in the US the mother would be all "He didn't do nuffin'" and here the mother is of course sad for her son but confident in the system to correct itself. This is because in France they're not a conglomeration of individuals who mostly hate each other, but citizens of something larger than themselves, of France.
    12
  693. The US is becoming this way. Come and visit sometime if you dare, our homeless camps are wondrous and our violent crime really something to write about.
    12
  694. In case anyone outside the USA wonders what we do for fun on the weekends, well, going out and killing each other is popular.
    12
  695. Trump voters.
    11
  696. Thank you for your service! English is a horrible crime of a language. And for some stupid reason everyone has to speak it these days.
    11
  697. Christianity is pure psychopathic horse shit, this is why Communism has no patience with such evil cults.
    11
  698. This is really great! I'm disappointed that apparently gefilte fish isn't so well-made so much of the time. I want to develop a really solid gefilte fish game.
    11
  699. The golden calf except in the Dump's case more like a golden toilet
    11
  700. I'd take this as the perfect time for an experiment: Will a car that's partially submerged still burn? I think one will, once you get it started. Gasoline burns hot and there's all that plastic. Make sure the driver is strapped tightly in the seat to make the experiment valid.
    11
  701. This is one for Active Self Protection. Did I hear one of those glorious New York accents when the guy spoke? Real salt of the earth here and welcome to California, we can use you.
    11
  702. Seriously. If you can't handle the traffic laws and customs in another country hire a driver, take cabs, take the local transit, etc.
    11
  703. Starting to happen in the US now.
    11
  704. Herd immunity .... in the US we've got herd immunity to chickenpox .... but I grew up on a little island in the Pacific and guess who didn't have immunity and got chickenpox in their 30s? Man, that was fun - NOT.
    11
  705.  @whofarted2903  Boric acid for the cockroaches, Victor snap traps for the mice.
    11
  706. That's right, we've not heard of RFK Jr. he's a wallflower but that brain worm, man! That worm's a really charismatic personality!
    11
  707. Our media loves Fascists.
    11
  708. I think there will be a lot of Jewish refugees from the USA and kibbutzim are the best way to settle them and get them up to speed on Hebrew and the culture. I hope to move there and hope I can go to a kibbutz to learn Hebrew and help out.
    11
  709. That's OK those of us with 3-digit IQs will make it up for you.
    11
  710. In the US, "morals" are considered an outdated, obsolete thing. Mind you this is in a country where a good part of the population thinks that not only is the Earth flat, but that it was made 6000 years ago.
    11
  711. Is no scotch in glorious Ruzzian republik, is only rotgut vodka and sadness...
    11
  712. This Oh so much this. I grew up in Hawaii and have lived a few places on the mainland. Hawaii is nice but, there's the whole West Coast from Santa Barbara down to the Baja Peninsula that are nice and warm, no temp. extremes, and in many cases far cheaper than Hawaii. There's the East Coast from the Carolinas to the tip of Florida with tropical stuff, the Caribbean at your doorstep, world-class fishing (Ernest Hemingway knew where it was at!) and far, far cheaper. And either of these coasts are 1000s of miles closer to your relatives on the US mainland.
    11
  713. And for my wallet. I need to arm up again. This is like all those times we ask ourselves what we'd do if we were in Germany in 1932. Would we fight back? I guess we'll find out.
    11
  714. Bernie's all over the memesphere - in a good way. Joe's all over the memesphere - in a bad way. This might be as important as the Nixon-Kennedy debate where it came down to which one understood the importance of television. As a friend told me, "Nixon looked like an unemployed child molester".
    11
  715. I personally call it the "Hate-retz" so there's that.
    11
  716. I voted for Bernie in the primary but when Hillary became the choice for the Dems, I was like, Sure I'll vote for her and did. A vote for Hillary was a vote for normalcy but I guess a large part of the country wanted the crazy instead.
    11
  717. Many documentaries on TB on YouTube and they're quite interesting. Fresh air, sunshine, and also dry, high-altitude climates were some of the things that helped. A year or so when I had bacterial pneumonia and was given Z-pack for it, well, in the old days I'd just hope I had the money to take a sort of curative vacation to a place like that, and get over it. Or not. Pneumonia still kills a lot of people.
    11
  718. Donnie's been a creature of Hollywood for many years now. It's really easy to pull something like this off. It's sad they sacrificed that kid. His own parents probably offered him up, "oddball, loner" etc. For the cause and all. A little theatrical fake blood, this stuff is really easy to pull off. When people narrowly escape death, they're not popping up with glib sayings etc., they're kind of subdued - I've been there and been around other people who were in that situation. This is all as "real" as the WWE match Trump was a player in years ago.
    11
  719.  @busman8291  Hm, speaking as an Antifa political agent 3rd class (provisional) we weren't anywhere near there. Firstly, we're too busy increasing our numbers and training at the range, but mainly because we can't master the doughy, flabby, vacant-eyed look of magatards so we can't blend in. We're not lazy and inbred enough to pull it off.
    11
  720. What a dope! It's up because 'Rump's outta here.
    11
  721. This is why he's on the $20 bill. In American terms he's a hero.
    11
  722. This is being commented on quite a bit on Reddit, basically there are no civilians in Gaza
    11
  723. I remember this coming up on Reddit years ago. The US's contribution to the Israeli economy is something like 10%. Israel could get completely cut off and be OK. And if that happened, you'd get people in the US finding ways to contribute, big and small. For instance I buy Israeli products whenever I can.
    11
  724. He could have called it Carnival Of Dennis a play on Carnival Of Venice, which any band kid will remember.
    11
  725. They're masters of timing, aren't they? Send in tanks just when the ground's getting soft and muddy, cut off gas just as heating is becoming less necessary giving Europe the whole spring and summer to work out other ways to get by without Russian gas.
    11
  726. I hear Tubby is paranoid about catching it but I think his syphilis will crowd it out.
    11
  727. Live in the "R&D" building I work out of, get around by bike. Am all the way back up to grossing $20k a year, same as I made in 19-fucking-87. This is progress?? At least I can save money.
    11
  728. Putting the Socialist in National Socialist
    11
  729. Those flaming mice were hilarious!
    11
  730. Ari W - How most of what goes on in the US is legal is beyond me.
    11
  731. There are some people seriously concerned that he may sell state secrets for $$$ to any buyer and the only think that has me less than worried about that is that he's so dumb he probably can't remember any.
    11
  732. He never stops grifting .... he remarked at one point that he stole papers because Nixon got 18 million for some papers, the Dump's Russian paymasters are getting antsy to get a return on their investment.
    11
  733. Indeed, the rules were already going out the window after the 2008 crash, and since the virus came along the rules are just about all gone. I studied tech and would have made more in my lifetime as a high school dropout doing janitorial work. Do what you love, because you're going to get min. wage no matter what you do.
    11
  734. It doesn't take that many hours to open a jug of Clorox...
    11
  735. Fortunately I've been used as a dart board by the US Army as well as all sorts of shots growing up and as an adult, I'll be OK but if you are allergic to eggs, or allergic to what goes into a given shot, it may not be for you - count on the rest of us to get it.
    11
  736.  @duanedrouillard2495  He'll be in some kind of old folks' home of prison. What they call a "country club" prison. It won't matter, he'll be in prison and that's the important thing.
    11
  737. Those country bumpkin assholes vote something like 95% republican so fuck 'em.
    11
  738. USA 2023 == Germany 1933. Get out if you can.
    11
  739. As well the US needs European type health care, housing, social safety net, education, public transport, etc etc ETC.
    11
  740. @Wayne Smith This. Canadians have about as many guns as we do, but not nearly the violence because national health care and better access to help.
    11
  741. This has been discussed on that web site that rhymes with "edit". These polls are being taken with a base of people who have land lines and answer them during weekday work hours...

  742. It's like they want a Revolution.
    11
  743.  @Gabriel.1985.  I'm a proud Christophobe. I just don't like death cults.
    11
  744. I'm in fuckin' Silicon Valley and until we moved to our "new" building I was living w/o running water for God's sake. I still do tub baths because I'm too cheap to join the gym up the street, plus going there is about the same hassle-factor as a tub bath anyway. I get around by bike. My internet is far too slow to upload videos on here which is why I don't post any. I dreamed at one time of being an offbeat, Gen-X Huell Howser but that dream died long ago. I'm paid weekly with a paper check I take to the bank in person to deposit. I do my taxes on paper. My point is that the world is not modernizing that I can see in any meaningful way in fact some things are going backward I actually do some "foraging" and would have a garden and chickens if I could here in the city. I have a driver's license but haven't driven a car in 12 years, and as a side gig I go out and play music - no amplification or electronics at all - on the street for tips, a profession that goes back 1000s of years.

  752. It's worse than that. Tubby Tuba did this because, as a Republican, a member of the party of the rich, he was only acting out how the rich see the military, as rabble, working-class servants. Keep in mind that the military is very largely a meritocracy, where you work your way up, while the rich get where they are through family money and deal-making among rich families. You can be an utter dunderhead and it doesn't matter, there will be smart kids hired to take your college exams for you etc. The Dump himself is a prime example of this - he'd actually have money if he's just put the millions his father gave him into a passbook savings account, and he has the odd distinction of losing money on casinos when owning a casino was a license to print money. The Dump is horrible with money and this is why he owes his soul to the Russian mob now.

  759. This bugs me no end. My boss lives in the standard McMansion, big house on a small plot, but still room to grow a fair amount of food and herbs. His wife doesn't want to do anything that's "like farming". There's a small fig harvest from the fig tree but that's it. She grows quite a few roses but doesn't use them (roses can be eaten and made into all kinds of foods and drinks). Plus the Mr.'s an engineer, he could easily have rigged up a way to channel grey water from showers anyway to water plants. They don't even use a clothes line.

  763. Dude! You've put on weight! Too much falafel! I love your videos. I'm taking a Hebrew reading class, and also learning some Hebrew words, it's interesting that in my book, "dat" means "religion" but in actual use it seems to mean "background". That makes sense. My own background is, apparently when my mom's ancestors came to the US from Lithuania in the late 1800s, they didn't want to bring Judaism with them. But, the names, tracing back, I think are giving them away. And between my Mom and Mad Magazine, I know quite a few Yiddish words. It's taken me too long to realize that most Americans don't grow up being called "bubula" and get asked left and right if something they're doing is "Kosher" - to mean "honest". Most don't even have any idea what halvah is. In any case, keep your wonderful videos going. I don't know if I'll ever be able to speak Hebrew as well as you, maybe, if I work on it for a long time.

  769. It's just that some people just match up. Decades ago I used to resent that John Lennon paired up with Yoko Ono. It took me a long time to realize they were just a really good match. So it's not that "white women want black men" it's that "women find a really good match" and the woman-man pair are not always the same race.

  770. Dude. I am "Shroedinger's Jew" in other words there is a nonzero chance that I am Jewish, but Lithuania being the black hole of information it is, I'll never know so I am converting. My maternal line is full of Jewish names going back to old Vilna. In light of what is happening here in the US, I am committed and I am very, very stubborn. I am converting, a possible/probable Jew converting to Judaism? Oh hell yeah! And I plan to retire in the Eretz. Those "civilized" and neutered by capitalism, spoon-fed fairy tales, will never understand the determination of a native people.

  780. I'm old enough ... I come from a family of 5 kids. It was normal to have 3-6 kids in those days (1960s) well, we had ONE car. Mom cooked at home. Dad worked and no one else had to. We took the bus places, there was one telephone, in the kitchen, and we had one, black and white TV. Compared to nowadays, we lived like we were practically Amish compared to now. People own tons more cars now, nice middle-class people don't take the bus or bike, that's for the very poor. People are supporting cars, cable TV companies and/or streaming services, student loans, huge rents or mortgages, plus even giving birth is super expensive now. And it used to be the norm to go to work for a company and stay with them for decades if not life. Now work is very precarious. Signed - Old man shouting a cloud where the cloud is capitalism.

  800.  @janis902  You don't eat animal products exclusively, you also eat veggies just not high-carb ones like potatoes, you eat things like broccoli and kale and spinach and so on. Atkins' take on the keto diet is flat-out weird. Just eat a healthy diet of meat, leaves, nuts, eggs, and so on, learn to count carbs and keep those below 50 a day, and you won't get "hangry" and the weight will drop off. Unfortunately the average American has been taught for some reason to hate vegetables, so when they go low-carb they run into the problems you cite, and eat things like low-carb ice cream and all sorts of low-carb versions of the stuff they're used to eating. I'm not sure if people can change their food preferences in adulthood, but you really have to learn to love vegetables as well as meat to do keto right.

  801. Please stop idealizing Burning Man! it's very top-down, very pay-to-play, even the remoteness of the location is expressly to exclude those who don't have a lot of money or have friends with a lot of money. Burning Man bans selling (except for water I think) and there are a lot of bans, they have a DMV ("Department of Mutant Vehicles" lol) and so on. Burning Man has had murders, sexual predators, etc and would have descended into utter chaos and bloodshed if it had not become the friendly dictatorship it is now.

Plus I see the cleaners just cleaning up "problem" messes not bringing in bulldozers and running people over, killing them, as happens here in the US. Hong Kong is an expensive, competitive place we all know, but it looks like paradise if you are poor compared to the US.

  812. The ones out on the street like that are mentally ill and not really able to care for themselves. They need to go to some sort of asylum, probably for the rest of their lives. There are several different catagories of homeless. There are young adults w/o dependents, who often sleep in their cars, couch-surf, work, and don't look homeless. There are people with dependents who have had some misfortune like losing their job or house, they're likewise normal people who are in a bad time. There are those who have had an accident, illness, or injury - in the US doctor's bills can and will take everything you own and your employer will fire you the moment you're not 100% in good shape. So people become homeless this way also. All but the first group, if you put them in a house or apartment etc., they'll get back on their feet. The first group, the street zombies, they'll trash or burn down any place you put them in and they belong in asylums.

In "less developed" countries, the father works, the mom stays home and takes care of the kids, house, maybe a garden, etc. The kids just go to school or learn a trade etc. As a Cambodian immigrant I once knew put it, "Here, the dad has to work, the mom has to work, the kids have to work....!"

  838. Yep there used to be "usury laws" that were different for each state. Then, interstate banking was allowed and since the usury laws in Delaware allowed for the highest interest, banks set up there. Then the laws were modified and then just removed. So you have cards that start at a "teaser rate" of a few per cent and then it goes up to 39%.

  839. A YouTube channel called "Life Where I'm From" who posts from Japan, has done an excellent 4-part series on homelessness in Japan. It's night-and-day different from the US. The difference?

Drugs, even the "hardest" are effectively legal at the user level in the US and drug use is absolutely massive in the US.

  845. Places with large parking lots will have "spotters" who will observe, someone getting out of a high-end car, someone vulnerable (old, dressed well) someone who's just visited the ATM, etc. will get pointed out by walkie-talkie to the "foot soldiers" and the car or person will be robbed. This is in San Jose, California. Why does this not happen in Palo Alto, a much more upscale neighborhood? Because Palo Alto's crawling with cops and has cameras everywhere. Conclusion: We need more cops, cameras, and guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens on the street.

  846. The US doesn't really have social mobility any more. So, hard work may or may not move you up, and more probably not. So the best thing you can do is stay moral, away from drugs, alcohol, addictions, stay away from irrational beliefs, and work on living well on as little as possible, stack up savings because actually saving money long-term is a superpower hardly any Americans have.

  847. Poland has had enough of Russia's shit. For some fun, read up on Madame Curie. Yep, that Madame Curie, who discovered radium and all that? Well, in her day, Poland was part of the Russian Empire and it was illegal to speak or teach Polish or to teach Polish history. Mme Curie was not only a scientist, but a sort of guerilla teacher, part of a movement to clandestinely teach Polish kids math. It was that bad. I researched the situation on some of my ancestors, because I was curious why they'd want to leave Lithuania for the US with such enthusiasm. Well it was about the same - speaking Lithuanian was illegal, students were cracked down on and jailed, etc etc. Russia's been a lot of bastards for a long time

My boss is also a personal friend, and a super nice guy, but he wanted me to vote in favor of that Uber-sponsored law that would keep their employees as contractors instead of employees. So I did the sensible thing and ... lied through my teeth and told him of course I'll vote the way he wants me to and then voted against that stupid law. As for "those who are good at guns" there are lot of us Leftists out here who are .... damned good at guns ... yeah ... damned good at 'em.

  869. I'm a young Boomer so I remember the required vaccines in public schools. Vaccination prevented what used to be a gauntlet of "childhood diseases" kids had to go through. And even the kids who made it through, often had lasting injuries from the "childhood diseases" like paralysis, blindness, deafness, etc. This is the world Dumpo wants us to return to?

  870.  @afriendtoo6971  The Dump can't borrow any more money from anyone who's in the least respectable, he's burned too many of them. So he's been borrowing from the Russian mob. And they expect results for their money.

  871. As always I LOVE your videos! Tel Avis looks so clean and healthy! Where in the US can you film people in the street for several minutes and not see homeless people with everything they own on their backs or in a shopping cart? I live in Silicon Valley and you could not film the same kind of videos here without heartbreakingly poor people showing up in the background. People do not help each other here.

  882. I grew up very poor and in a tropical area. I was used to walking miles, barefoot of course, and getting by on very little. Army basic training was a treat for me, frankly. The food was wonderful and the only way I felt left out was after a long march, I was the only one without blisters.

  885. In the 90s I had old and I mean OLD neighbors, they'd been adults when WWII started, he served in the Navy in D-day and she had some interesting Depression stories like how they were poor themselves but devoted a day a week to feeding others, anyway, he'd had Nixon come around to his house, selling encyclopedias door to door. And I once won a bike race in Whittier, and did the Nixon two v-signs thing on the podium ... My older sis got into the national spelling bee and went to Washington and they were going to meet Nixon but had to settle for Spiro Agnew, and my dad brought back a really cool subversive Nixon coloring book. I loved that thing even if I didn't understand most of the humor.

  895.  @atashgallagher5139  I didn't get much-needed eyeglasses until I was turning 18, and one of my younger sisters almost died of starvation. And I'm one of the more fortunate in the US. The US does indeed have a very large "internal third world" and it's growing.
    9
  896. It's because the USA is a shithole. Plain and simple. If I could get away with it I think I'd sail a boat or something to England and go be homeless there because I'd be able to see a doctor if I got sick and I'd be able to get back on my feet from being homeless (almost impossible in the USA) and build a rather nice life for myself.

  903. I was in my downtown that night in 2016. I'm in a fairly large city so there are always lots of visitors from all over the world, and the bar I was in was close to the hotels so there were a lot of non-US people in there. I guess I must look fairly approachable and I had Europeans asking me, "Why???" and POC telling me now they're really worried. I had a deep, deep sense of shame for my country that's never completely gone away. We, the US, cannot be trusted.
    9
  904. What's being decided here is what's known as the divine right of kings which was decided in modern countries 100s of years ago. The Dark Ages idea was the king can do anything because, well, he's the king.

  905. For a long time I was an avid follower of Dmitry Orlov, who's a writer and has some speeches on YouTube here. His best book is probably "Shrinking The Technosphere" and at least that title will enable you to find his other books - he's not the hockey player by the same name. Anyway, ol' Dmitry, being Russian, was quite pro-Russian and even he admitted that Russia's a 3rd rate power with a shrinking population. That's OK in his book because he knows about peak oil and all that, and knows we have to gear back our energy consumption and Russia with a shrinking population will work out well - so even pro-Russians admit Russia's on the downslope. Too bad Dmitry didn't count on Dollar-Store 99 Kopeck sHitler being in charge of his beloved Russia now.

  908. Muslims never protected Jews, read about the "Jewish nakhba" that happened in 1948-49, more Jews expelled from the Middle East who had to flee to the newly founded modern Israel, than Arabs calling themselves "Palestinians" who fled Israel.
    9
  909. Some people are just .... persistent. Read up on "Typhoid Mary" yes she was a real person, and her goal in life was to make as many other people sick/dead as she could. She didn't build bombs or anything, she was just very, very persistent in getting out there spreading typhoid. She was able to spread disease for decades on end. It's a strange goal to have in life but that was hers and through sheer persistence she was uncommonly successful.

  911. Reminds me of the time I ate at Gumba's in Sunnyvale. I heated up the leftovers (steak) the next day in a frying pan. As I ate them, I noticed the meat was still cold near the bone. Tastes good though! So I kept eating. The next morning I had food poisoning, even my damn hair hurt. And, there was an airshow going on at Moffett Airfield. So, first I'm rolling around in pain, 2nd, the jets roaring overhead are not helping, and 3rd, there's an air show and I'm too sick to go see it. Moral: Avoid Gumba's or at least, if you heat up leftover steak, cut it into fajitas and cook 'em well.

I observe some nasturtiums coming along nicely and again, with a bit more rain there should be some nice feral/wild brassicas for the gathering and then there are thistles - they're nasty spikey but the spines are all around the edge of the leaf and once trimmed off they're fine.

  916. This is hilarious! A long time ago I had a big fat wad of racist materials, small magazines, pamphlets, etc. They'd been given by the notorious "Von Dutch" to a friend of mine who was probably the last person "Von Dutch" was friends with, and then this friend passed the stack 'o' racism to me. Rockwell was a creep but he had a sense of humor and his cartoons were actually fairly good. Keep in mind he was not only a racist but came from a time when things like tying tin cans to puppy's tails and the "hot foot" where matches were somehow wedged into an unsuspecting person's shoe and then lit, were considered top-flight humor.

Also, he lost by 3 million votes, but that wasn't a wide enough margin.

  941. I got into rowing a bit, and Tevas with socks go with the territory. The dock, rocks and general beach area are all slippery, and Tevas are a safety issue - you're tons safer if you wear 'em. The socks are because in rowing shells, you leave your sandals on the pier and your socked feet go into "shoes" that are built into the boat.

  942. Due to being in the US I have pretty much no access to preventative medical care, but I've lost weight on the low carb plan a few years ago so when I developed really bad headaches I decided to go back to low carb, lost weight again and headaches almost all gone. Fortunately in the US one can buy a blood pressure meter for not too much money, and you can even buy blood glucose meters for cheap too. You kind of have to "hack" your own health if you're not wealthy in the US. Between the aforementioned meters, google, and reddit it's possible to get a little grip on things. PS we used to chew sugar cane when I was a kid. Good times.

  954. Patton was right about the russians themselves. He was there on the ground with them and saw the atrocities they inflicted on the German civilians. He saw that they're Dark Ages people who the USSR hadn't had much time to educate or civilize, and they're still living in say the year 500 when witches were burned and prisoners were tortured in imaginative ways and animals were "baited" IE tortured and killed for fun. Patton saw the USSR as only a thin overlay over primitive and savage people. The USSR tried to educate them, at least got a good number of them able to read and so on, but you can't bring people from the year 500 into the mid-1900s in 30-off years. And today, well, orcs are still orcs.

  975. Well, Hitler had some good points too, he was vegetarian, nonsmoker and discouraged smoking, early on (read the book about him by Anton Kubizek) was very civic-minded, wanted to help the working class with all sorts of things but I think it's generally agreed upon that he was overall a horrible person who did great damage to Germany and to the world. So it's very hard to be a "Hitler supporter" even if he had some good ideas. In the same way, sure, Trump has made some comments from time to time that normal people can agree with, he's run as a Democrat in the past, has been for gun-control, and so on, but overall he's caused, with his policies and his harangues all sorts of damage from a million more covid deaths than otherwise, hatred against Blacks, Asians, Democrats, "Liberals", women, children, Republicans who aren't right-wing enough, etc. So I can see your maintaining with your friends that you're a Trump supporter - in parts of the US it can be dangerous not to be - but you really owe it to yourself to do a bit of research and soul-searching with regard to politics.

  979. "Silicon Valley" California here. Stocked up on canned fish and seaweed and other supplies, so I'm ready to stay in strictly for a matter of months if necessary. I go out 3X a week to deliver packages to the post office and FedEx as part of my job. 95% of people are not out, and food markets etc are not crowded. There's now a restriction on how many can be inside at once, so the lines are outside in the fresh air instead of inside, so it's a good change. I still have work and am not worried on that front, I'm lucky that way. Small businesses are failing right and left but this is only an acceleration of the trend that's been ongoing for years. 90% of the US population never recovered from the 2008 crash. I worry about our huge underclass, who had things hard when we were under what we call "good times". This is a sudden change. For me it's more a matter of not so much goods not being available to buy, but it not being safe for me to go out, since I get around by bicycle. Tests are not available, and getting treated will leave you financially devastated if you survive, and your family the same if don't, so I expect the "9mm retirement plan" we joke about so much in the US to be even more of a thing.

  1004.  @SkashTheKitsune  Um, you over-estimate by far, how easy it is for a non-wealthy American to see a doctor at all. We generally don't go to the doctor until we're dying.

  1011. That "Nah, I'm a white guy" wtf? He's in the Pacific Northwest. No way he's at a disadvantage being white. The way to go would have been to become a steward, or "male stewardess". They can eventually make some fairly decent money, and a guy among the "stews" would be welcome because sometimes you get unruly passengers or heavy things that need lifting etc. Same with nursing, male nurses are always welcome in the nursing ranks. But his "Nah, I'm a white guy" comment tells me he was one of those butthurt snowflakes... hell man, I grew up where whites actually are discriminated against, it sucks but the key is to find something you can do where it doesn't matter so much.

  1012. I lived for a few years on a "survivalist compound" where they were big on "permaculture" and supposedly not using pesticides. Ha! Maybe they didn't use pesticides but boy did the guy who owned the place love using RoundUp. Spraying for weeds involved bathing in the stuff! After a weed spraying session I'd literally strip all my clothes off and wash well, as I was covered in it. It's one of the reasons I left. BTW if you have weeds coming up in cracks in your walkway etc just pour a little boiling water on them, it works fine and isn't poisonous.

I live in a heavily Asian area, and the people buying tons of Pocky, Hi-Chew, Ramune, etc are kind of hilarious. I grew up in Hawaii and have never bought Pocky, because I don't think it's a good value for the money. I don't eat Asian foods because of any other reason than it's what I grew up with. I think to be a weeb means to idolize the culture without taking the time to actually learn that much about it.

  1024.  @susan9188  It's a simple fact that us olders grew up in a much harder time. Wanna eat? Better learn how to forage and fish. Wanna wear clothes, better figure out how to patch the holes in what you've got. Wanna ride a bike? Become a bike mechanic good at improvising.... There was a change around 1980 where actual hunger ended for the most part in the USA and past 1980 I didn't see those ads in the back of comic books for some sort of shake powder or something, to help those who were underweight to gain weight. Right along with more plentiful food came home computers, and a lot of fuss about kids being abducted etc so people kept their kids indoors more, were encouraged to "learn" on their computers ... plus from 1980 on, adults started to get a clue that their standard of living was going to just keep falling and falling. so they wanted to try to help their kids have a better life ... end result is some kinda spoiled kids but it was a whole lot of factors coming together... fortunately I see some kids who are eager to learn practical skills and there are a lot of smart, can-do kids out there.

  1025. I remember when a new Chinese buffet opened in Scottsdale Arizona where I was living. They were eager to have anyone come in and try it out. So I went in and try it out and they were so happy to have a customer. They had this little form to write any notes so they could improve their restaurant. One of the types of fish was ... gelatinous. So I wrote that this fish was gelatinous ..... got a lot of laughs thinking of their checking a dictionary to figure out what gelatinous means, and whether that's good or not.

  1043. This so much. Because my maternal line came to the US and worked very hard on being Americanized, I don't have a paper trail going back to old Lithuania. So I am converting. The next step after that is moving to Israel to retire. Wish I'd done all this earlier but at least I can live in Israel and bring in a little trickle of money to the economy, live "Jewishly" as it's said, if I have anything extra will donate to Jewish/Israeli causes, and will leave whatever I have when I pass on to the Jewish National Fund or such cause. Am Israel Chai!

  1044. My boss is diabetic, a very smart guy but he can not change his way of eating. It's pancakes or waffles for breakfast, burger and fries for lunch, and so on. I've explained the sugar/carbs thing and the insulin rollercoaster until I've been blue in the face, he won't change his diet. Yes, he injects insulin multiple times a day.

  1045. A lot of people in the US don't make $125 a month either. It's really easy to go from $70k a year to making maybe $60 a month during the non-winter months, getting EBT (food stamps) if you're lucky. Speaking from personal experience. Capitalism is brutal and this is why the civilized world has been fighting against it for centuries.

  1046. There are several types of homeless. There are the temporarily down on their luck - generally these are young, healthy folks who can still live in their car, couch-surf with friends, etc. If you have the Golden Triangle, a job, a car, and a storage unit, you can get by great and no one will ever know you're homeless. Then there are the old people. US culture doesn't care about old people and if it were legal, the standard practice in the US would be to grind 'em up for dog food. But that's illegal so we do the next best thing, which is kick them out into the street. When you're old, it's hard to live in "hard mode" which is what being homeless is. It's hard to live in a vehicle, work a job, and keep a storage unit and keep up appearances when you're at or past retirement age. Then there are the druggies. Since US culture values short-term thinking, "If it feels good, do it", and since drug use is encouraged, there are tons of druggies of all ages who have burned their brain cells out and these zombies just stagger through life, doing druggie stuff like stealing, fighting, setting stuff on fire, etc. Wait, you say, "encouraging drug use" really? Yep, smoking weed has been talked about as being "cool" and something good that "the man" has tried to keep people from doing, as a good thing they're just mean to keep away from us, for many decades. Tons of biographies of musicians, writers, etc glorify their hard drug use, and if they didn't use hard drugs, well hopefully they were at least drunks! Alcoholism is 99% of Charles Bukowski's schtick, and he's a hero to the youngins, with his book sales making huge money for the publishing houses. We've had, until recently, doctors pushing opiates like crazy, then there were a few scandals and now they still push opiates, just a little more quietly. And there's all the fentanyl. Face it, if you're an American kid, you're getting thrown out of the house the day after you reach age 18, and what are you going to do? Other than join the US military, the choices are really grim. Opiates to Americans have become like vodka to Russians. A way to escape the dystopia for a little while. It's a hyper-individualistic society so you don't have family or society to give you meaning, so all you really have is day-to-day survival. And that's so bleak that it's unlikely you won't resort to drugs/alcohol.

  1047. If this is proportional to the 1918 flu, it will be about 2 million deaths in the USA. About 0.6% of the population dies. What's bad is, our handling of it is about on a par with how we did it in 1918. There's no testing for about 99% of us, there are "mask brigades" and "anti mask protests" and all kinds of foolishness.

  1048.  @studentdrake  You can save a lot on that, he had his house for years so property tax frozen to what it was when he bought it, etc. But, like most Americans he was probably living paycheck-to-paycheck because that's what American culture is all about. Saving for a rainy day is considered Socialism or something. So instead of having savings and being able to go to another job even if it pays less, he felt backed into a corner because however much an American makes, they always seem to spend 110% of it.

  1052. This is a constant complaint by the rich. They can't stand to see someone living without paying them money somehow. So they hate people living in vans, or on boats, etc. "for free". You just want to tell them, "Do you want to go live in a little van, or on a boat, then, yourself? Do you really envy people who have to pack their water, food, and even waste in and out? Do you really envy someone who's going to the laundromat once a week and trying to get by on disability money for their bad back?

  1055. I was going to say this. I'm in California and there's always cheap/cheapist "Mexican" food here. I should say that if you are brown, and could have at least theoretically set food in Mexico at some time, perhaps changing flights, you are now "Mexican" once you're here. Brazilian? Nope, you're Mexican now! Honduran? Shut up with that noise, you're Mexican! And on and on. But most of the poor workers and most in need of cheap food are in fact Mexican, and cheap and good tacos are always to be had. They get even mind-blowingly cheaper and better if you learn to make them yourself and that included making your own tortillas.

  1065. That would be a resounding NO. If they are right-wing, they are not friends, they are enemies. They are the same people who lived next door to a Jewish family and were "friends" with in 1890, and 1900, and 1910, 1920, etc. up until 1933 then helped round them up for the extermination camps. A right-winger is never anyone's friend and do be done away with when the opportunity presents itself.

There are all these nutzy little cults, some affiliated with Christianity, that are great places to train and indoctrinate assassins. I read a book years ago saying exactly what my theory is: That Lennon had insulted Right-Wing Christianity and was also going to do less music and more political action and thus the Kooky Kristians wanted him killed.

  1087. In all fairness they've been talking about computers programming themselves for decades I remember in the 1980s yep I'm old, ads in magazines for shit like "clarion", some kind of program you could (theoretically) talk to in plain language and it'd spit out a program for you .... we're not any closer to this now than we were then. What's bad is, in the 80s I was in my 20s and could have easily gotten into programming and done really well in life, but I thought that the programming jobs would go away because the computers would program themselves yadda yadda. Programming was easy as fuck to learn in the 1980s. You could build a career starting with 6502 assembly code and 8-bit was still king. So beware of predictions, do what interests you.

  1124. The "standard" sugar and carbohydrate based American diet is very inflammatory. I follow what I call a "fairly keto-ish" diet, and also I've got to get out on the bike every day as my livelihood. Since everything closes earlier I'm out when the sun is strong too.
    7
  1125. Yep love love love these videos. I could go back and I think it'd be fun for a week or two and then I'd be like, "Shit, I'm in this place again". If you're white-appearing outside of tourist areas you have to be very good at the ol' shuck-and-jive game. Looking down, looking submissive, the "jive" part is using humor to deflect verbal attacks that are generally followed by your getting beat up, unless you can make 'em laugh or at least decide you have a sense of humor and know your place and don't need beating up.

  1126. George Orwell talks about this. How the slums he stays in in Wigan were so bad because often their owners could not afford to make repairs. The owner, "Stereotypically a bishop", he said, was most normally an aged widow with the ramshackle place she'd rent out here only bulwark against starvation and the street herself. All I can say is, Comrade Mao knew what to do with landlords and isn't it interesting that China is raising millions out of poverty while in the US millions are sinking into deep poverty.
    7
  1127. It's actually "well regulated" but people don't seem to understand that "well regulated" refers to being sighted-in. Old shooting guidebooks talk about the "regulation" of the sights. And we on the Left have been arming up like crazy and getting our range time in.

  1129.  @waschberserker  This. Arabs are supposed to care about each other, if the Arab countries - amounting to a huge amount of land - each agreed to take in a proportional share of the "Palestinians" the way Israel has taken in Jews from all over the world, there wouldn't be a problem.

  1132. Have you had any contact with far-right groups? They sort of use a mirror-image of socialism to draw people in. There are tons of white kids whose parents have kicked them out at age 18 because that's the norm in the US, there are no jobs, it's miserable and then these far-right groups swoop in and say, Join us and you'll have 3 hots and a cot and a purpose. Back in the 1930s, "Socialist" was a term like the Good Housekeeping Seal Of Approval.

  1135. The 1930s - 1960s were a great time for books on how to understand math and science. First, grab everything by Isaac Asimov. There's also Mathematics For The Millions by Lancelot Hogben. You can also grab old textbooks or peruse them in the library because although they all cover the same stuff, they all do it slightly differently and I found this very helpful.
    7
  1136. Unless you're pretty wealthy in the US, you can't get tested and getting medical care will bankrupt you, so for the vast majority of us it's a matter of hoping we don't get sick, if we do we'll try to take care of ourselves with home remedies, and if it's not good enough, for most of us it's better to die at home because that won't bankrupt our families and make them homeless.

  1145. Cruelty to animals is a big part of "local" culture. Keep in mind that 100 years ago, cats and dogs were food animals. Chicken fighting with those metal spurs is popular. Reddit is full of posts in r/hawaii of people seeing dogs kept outdoors in small cages and never let out, etc.

  1154. I think he's following the playbook of his hero, HItler. Hitler did "meh" in the election when the German economy was recovering, and did better when the economy was awful, with breadlines and riots in the streets. What he doesn't understand is we remember history and we remember what Hitler did to Germany and know Trump wants the same thing here. Frankly I encourage the rest of the world to start bombing now.

BTW if you are a revolutionary, one of the most effective things you can do is help in any way you can to educate the poor.

  1184.  @gotrescuedauto3584  My boss and I got our vaccines and are careful about masking and isolating - he's had it 2X. He's in his mid-70s. I'm in my early 60s. The vaccinations aren't a 100X shield, but they make a severe disease much less severe.

  1185. The USA has an enormous underclass. I'm in "Silicon Valley" and we've got children growing up living in parking lots, in river bottoms, etc not going to school but they're learning to scrounge and steal so I guess it's all good. I make about $15k a year and that's doing pretty well for most people in Silicon Valley. Those high rates of pay you hear about, are kind of like saying this or that NBA superstar makes a huge salary and therefore everyone who plays weekend ball at their local court makes that money too. Tech is mostly very poorly paid.

  1190.  @somuchsoul  Years ago I watched a documentary on a DVD I borrowed from the library, about Jamaica I think, where they set up a T-shirt factory and got all kinds of help because it was gonna produce local jobs, then the owners of the T-shirt factory, once they were established, fired all the local workers and flew in workers from China.

  1192. I grew up there and I could definitely afford to retire there is I wanted. But it's because I know how to live like a local. It would mean living in a rented room, and eating the local diet not mainland stuff. It's actually cheaper to live back there than it is here on the mainland where I am now.

  1194. Your videos are so well done, and Israel is so beautiful .... as I keep mentioning, I live in the so-called "Silicon Valley" area of California and you could not go to the most wealthy towns in this area and film like this for the lengths of time you do, and not see homeless people, beggars, etc. Plus it seems most people in Israel are in shape! There are seriously overweight, unhealthy people in the US also. It's time I got back to work learning Hebrew .... ugh almost forgot how to tell chet from tet .... I love how Hebrew seems so simple, compared to English where there are 26 ways to say anything.

  1203. Watch a movie called "Cowspiracy" it's amazing, beef is the #1 problem, more than all the cars and ships and planes etc. I've given up all warm-blooded animals, just fish, clams, shrimp oysters etc and I feel pretty good. Not ready to go full veggie but I think if we stuck to cold-blooded animals, it'd do the planet -and the animals - a huge favor.

  1209.  @MelywoodMedia  Speaking as a young-end boomer, work, if it's not really awful, is pretty rad. December can be a depressing month for those of us who could not afford to have a family. I have my day job to keep me busy but early in the month I bought a musical instrument (that I already knew how to play) and have spent weekends out busking. Just 1-hour sessions but $30-$90 per session is nice, and the interactions with people are the really rewarding part. Even the cranky ones are fun.

  1218. There are very few people in the "Western" world who are not on a high-sugar, high-carbohydrate diet. Going onto a "keto" diet has huge benefits, I forward you to the many videos by Jason Fung on here, he's probably the single best source on this.
    7
  1219. Cauliflower ear is just a hematoma (essentially a bunch of blood) in the exterior of the ear, the exterior of the ear is like a sandwich - skin, cartilage, skin. Sooooo, if the ear gets punched or damaged in some way, blood will collect between the skin and cartilage, and what's bad it, it kind of "peels it away" inside so now there's a sort of bag in there for the blood to stay in. Source: Was a vet tech for a few years; dogs get this too. So the answer is, yep boxers and MMA fighters with cauliflower ear will still have directional hearing just fine, they may just have slightly less effective hearing because the exterior of the ear is damaged (notice how you can hear better when you use your hands to make "bigger" exterior ear structures.)

  1225. Germany was "the most cultured country in Europe" it was where you went if you were a scientist, a philosopher, a poet, an artist. That was true up to about 1930. By 1933, in three short years, it had turned into a fascist hellhole. The US was long a place you "had" to go to, post-WWII, if you were a scientist, an artist, a poet ... etc., and now look how fast it's changing. Get out if you can.

  1231. In the USA, this girl wouldn't live in a basement, she'd live on the street, probably be tempted - or forced - to try drugs and would look 50 years old by the time she's 25, and probably die of violence or a drug overdose. I know these people do not live well, but compared to their counterparts in the USA they actually have it really good. And in China they have a chance to be lifted up from poverty because that's what the Chinese government is doing, being a Socialist government.

  1240. Ohhh man, I'll have to listen to this! My youngest sister, who was already a sneaky lil' thief from when her age was in the single digits, ended up being sent to one of these camps around age 17 or 18. She's now a fanatical "Born-Again" Christian who used to send me links to articles in The Epoch Times until I told her to quit that shit. She married a cop but not just any cop, nooooo. A Hawaiian (Maui) cop who's now a police chief. You know, Hawaii, where the police are so corrupt they make the ones in New Orleans look like choirboys. Needless to say she's a Trumper. I'm retiring in a couple of years, hopefully to a country that's pretty much as far away as you can get from Hawaii just so I don't have to worry about ever seeing her again. I suspect that the military school Trump went to was a lot more "Lord Of The Flies" than people suspect. Source: I used to live as an athlete in a big amateur sports complex in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and occasionally we'd have Air Force Academy people over for competitions. I used to fix one guy's glasses all the time, as they were constantly getting messed up in "hall brawls". I think these private/exclusive/cloistered schools tend to be that way.
    7
  1241. Yep the book Charlotte's Web is a good intro to this. The family's a farming family, they bought a piglet in the spring, the "runt" so it was cheaper, and the pig (Wilbur) got the family's leftover food each day along with general animal feed. This is what people would often do. You got a piglet and thus had an animal to feed your food scraps to, the pig would grow through the year, then around Christmas or so, you'd slaughter the pig and have had your year's worth of food scraps turned into delicious pork. Of course this didn't happen in Charlotte's Web because it was a story for Boomers and Boomers are scared by reality.

  1252. Life in the USA is much harder than it was decades ago, and all life in the USA means is work, work, work then you die. No meaning. Living in Israel has meaning.
    6
  1253. Actually guarding pays well. Security guards make 2X minimum wage here, that's $32 an hour. As an electronics technician I can only hope to make the min. wage and jobs in it are rare. I'm in "Silicon Valley".
    6
  1254. These vicious SUVs need to be taken off the street! Frankly, cars acting on their own like this creeps me out.
    6
  1255. The idiotic title got me; Iron Dome is a defense system against rockets. It's not a defense against tunneling terrorists, terrorists attacking music festivals, terrorists blowing up kibbutzim, etc. Israel, has, or better damned well have by now, other systems for dealing with these other things.
    6
  1256. It's feeling like 2006 right now. You see, in 2006 house values started slowly going down, instead of going up. 2007 is when the actual crash happened, and 2008 is when the moneyed elite/oligarchs noticed.
    6
  1257. Japan has a ton of diabetes and you don't have to be fat to have diabetes. As for a "meat heavy" diet, in the US in the mainstream US dietary culture, more meat consumption is tied with dislike of vegetables, and a "meat and potatoes" diet in other words, it's not the steak, it's the huge baked potato, macaroni salad, and liter of Coke that go along with it.
    6
  1258. I remember when Powell was running for President. I was gonna vote for him.
    6
  1259. They're literally medieval people. Living like it's the year 1000 or so. Dark Ages.
    6
  1260. The Taliban is actually a lot more reasonable with regard to, well, everything. Even the Taliban doesn't advocate killing a mother because she has a non-viable pregnancy if the mother can be saved.
    6
  1261. It'll be fun watching the Secret Service drag him out kicking and screaming like a big baby. He can't handle stairs or a ramp or drinking a glass of water well so just push him over then get out a big net.
    6
  1262. It's a joke. 6-foot length of rope with knots and a hook on the end, hook it on the top and climb right over. Or lean a ladder or even a pallet up against it. I'm sorry but these terrorists need to drink a waterfall of hot lead.
    6
  1263. I've lived in deep Red country. 95% Caucasian, 95% Republican, 95% on Welfare.
    6
  1264. I'm in San Jose, California. If you take the #68 bus down to Morgan Hill, you'll go by a development that's many square miles in size, streets and sidewalks and fire hydrants and those low walls that are higher at corners, the whole schmeer. And it just never got finished. It's eerie, really. I mean, this is "Silicon Valley" here, a really go-go place, at least by reputation. But we've got tons of abandoned shit here and an unbelievable number of empty buildings and houses.
    6
  1265. The current admin. is also "making the right noises" to placate some of their base, but the US really does stand with Israel.
    6
  1266.  @addieeeson  Yeah well Christianity is batshit crazy so ...
    6
  1267.  @addieeeson  Also his handling of covid killed more Americans than his father figure Hitler did.
    6
  1268.  @deezeed2817  Russians got f*cked hard by capitalism when the USSR fell. I'd be angry as hell too.
    6
  1269. It's Israel's land.
    6
  1270. Ahh, Arizona. Years ago I was at the house of a friend in Gilbert (wealthy neighborhood S.E. of Phoenix) and his daughter came home from school. She was bubbling to her Dad about the cool "Nazi Club" one of the teachers was running. This is normality in Arizona. It's worse in the small towns, where I figure the Nazis/Nazi sympathizers are about 50%. Source for this last: Put in time in Prescott, Prescott Valley, Dewey.
    6
  1271.  @healingv1sion  Me too; they're the closest thing we've got to the BBC. I love PBS
    6
  1272. No, not really. A person doesn't go from being a normal working person to strung out on "black tar" heroin, smelling like a goat, missing half their teeth, eating out of trash cans etc. They get back on their feet. If they stay homeless as in they live in their car, they keep neat and clean and you'd never guess they're homeless.
    6
  1273. Yep we on the left don't want to blow up anything - it's not nearly as fun as providing free school lunches and building affordable housing.
    6
  1274. Speaking as an Antifa political indoctrination minister, nope, that did not happen.
    6
  1275. @Crawled Out Of Plato's Cave Like Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride?
    6
  1276. He should be declared a danger to himself and others, and put in a cell for his own rehabilitation. The guy's mentally ill and has been committing crimes - severe ones - across the country for years. Time to put away this wanna-be Al Capone.
    6
  1277. The whole point of things like Burning Man etc is to not mix with the hoi-polloi. Actual poor people are not at all welcome.
    6
  1278. It was a HUGE bad decision to go in there - you're supposed to remove yourself from danger not go charging into it.
    6
  1279. Open air markets like farmer's markets that are spread out a bit more, getting to know your local egg person, local veggie farms, stuff like that, can help.
    6
  1280.  @TRE45ON.is.Bat5hit.Crazy.U.S.G  Don't forget those fuckers were bristling with knives and garrotes and other easily carried toys.
    6
  1281. 3.2M = America's 1% it's not going to be given to Joe Six-Pack.
    6
  1282. There are biographies of Rockwell and they're good reading. A major difference was, Rockwell was doing his art about times he lived through. Kinkade wasn't born until 1958. Rockwell was always very humble about his art, and thought of himself as an illustrator rather than a fine artist - illustrators were a big deal through most of the 20th century and while Rockwell was one of the very top guys, there were a lot of other illustrators with big followings. Rockwell was a wholesome guy, there's no other way to describe him, without a mean bone in his body. Kinkade was a cynical hack.
    6
  1283.  @pktz_01  99.9999999% chance she's not Jewish.
    6
  1284.  Martin Balber  S. Korea has a national health system, contact tracing, tests, all things the US does not have.
    6
  1285. Corey's actually Canadian but he gets most of these stupid questions from Americans.
    6
  1286. That and, you know, 2nd Holocaust no I am not being hypothetical here. LGBT, non-citizens with brown/black skin, citizens with brown/black skin, "Lib'ruls", Republicans who "aren't loyal enough" etc.
    6
  1287. USA is going full fash, and this is just like in Germany in the 1930s when they eliminated Jewish students and professors from the universities.
    6
  1288. I tried Impossible Burger and it was the most disgusting thing I've ever cooked. It tasted awful and stunk my place up. Never-never-never again.
    6
  1289. Just smear burger fat on your hand, it's easy.
    6
  1290. Prison in Japan isn't the thunderdome/gladiator arena prison in the US is. It might be actually pleasant compared to living on the street.
    6
  1291. This amounts to holding a huge Klan rally and then taking a poll as to who hates Black ppl.
    6
  1292.  @Mike__B  Mine didn't hurt. The shingles vax was more painful.
    6
  1293. For most of us in the Bay Area there's a rule about Oakland. It's Do. Not. Go. There.
    6
  1294. Helping with rockets, bombs, tunnel-building materials, silly.
    6
  1295. I'm not gonna say "unconditionally" accepted in the US but we've taken in some pretty diverse folks and had things work out just fine.
    6
  1296. It's like the guy just couldn't stand the feeling of shaving under his nose.
    6
  1297. The 6th largest economy in the world, we could join Britain and get the National Health Service it'd be a win all around.
    6
  1298. Like everything else he's touched.
    6
  1299. By definition they are terrorists. It's like asking fish to Please not swim.
    6
  1300. A while back I was considering sending in my ballot early and then taking a "strategic vacation" somewhere nice, and if the fascists won, finding some way to never go back. But here I am, I didn't do it. Now I am planning to get my passport renewed ASAP and being ready to leave before January 6th if things look that bad.
    6
  1301. Yeah yeah the US is going full Fascist, we get it.
    6
  1302. I was talking with my boss about this, he's Polish-American, his wife is Mexican-American, I said, "Aren't you glad you didn't stay in England (he worked for several years there in satellites) because they'd just want to deport you now, or at least your wife and kids". He said, "They'd want to deport me to Poland" which knowing the Brexit Brits, is probably about right even though my boss's family left Poland around the year 1900.
    6
  1303. Meth.
    6
  1304.  @ciaronsmith4995  You're decades late with that. I'm not saying there's not some bias, but it's not the problem it was years'n'years ago.
    6
  1305.  @midcenturymodern9330  Drugs are a way of life in Barstow and I don't mean weed and shrooms, I mean bathtub meth.
    6
  1306. I don't care if it's codeine or green beans, if you tell me not to take it into your country I won't.
    6
  1307. If you're living on the standard American diet you are pre-diabetic no ifs about it.
    6
  1308. Long ago, there used to be this thing called "social mobility" in the US. Don't bother looking it up, it's long, long gone.
    6
  1309. I lived in Gilroy and it's the same there. But, I'm just brown enough esp. in the summer that I could go anywhere. The dreaded "south side of town", no problem. But even the nice areas had some real wingnuts, sure they were white and had money but their ideology ... sheer Nazis 2.0 and they were the ones I'd watch out for in the future not that campasinos y campasinas just trying to get through life.
    6
  1310.  @choo_choo_  Hey, how else is he gonna use up those gallon bottles of Kikkoman his Mom keeps sending him?
    6
  1311. That refueling sequence is interesting. That's how NATO did it many decades ago. You'll notice modern refueling setups have little wings on the fuel nozzle so it can be steered to the plane. And the plane has a pattern that allows the nozzle to be placed more accurately. Basically the plane flies up, then stayed in a stable position and the nozzle is steered to them. Takes a lot less time. But then Ruzzia is fighting with WWII tanks so....
    6
  1312. A 24-foot boat is tiny. Especially if it's a sailboat. It's a wetter, more expensive version of living in a minivan.
    6
  1313.  @gbuz5789  You're nutz if you think there's no racism here in California. There's tons.
    6
  1314. You spelled "terrorists" wrong.
    6
  1315. Well, as for non-Jews immigrating to Israel, there's the whole Arab colonization that's been ongoing for centuries.
    6
  1316. If I can just learn my Hebrew .... at least growing up in Hawaii I've got the glottal stop down pat, and can pronounce "Bahai'i'im as well as your translator. I'm good at resh too. I can do the American resh, the rolled resh, and a proper resh. In the future I might have some fun with that.
    6
  1317. Melech - means "king" hahaah I am learning Hebrew.
    6
  1318. I wonder how many tons of rare earths are thrown away in the form of people throwing away their broken earphones?
    6
  1319. The only book Donnie's read is Mein Kampf.
    6
  1320.  @Purpie_Slurpie  Indeed. Some genX are a lot boomier than they have any right to be, and some boomers are actually pretty cool. But lack of empathy is very much a boomer thing that's leaked into some genX.
    6
  1321. And yet there are 70 million people in the US who, if Trump got on the TV and told them to kill Democrats, would gleefully slaughter the nice Democrat family they've lived next door to for decades.
    6
  1322. But Donnie says Hezbollah is "very smart" so I guess there's that.
    6
  1323. There's no hate like Christian love so yeah, we've already experienced some of it.
    6
  1324. This is why voting is supposed to, at least, be private. Or they might leave the part for president blank and just vote for local positions.
    6
  1325. Pretty sure it was Secret Service. "The Girl", probably drugged out of her mind on meth or ketamine or something, we crawling zombie-style over broken glass through a window to get at the people the Secret Service were protecting. They did their job and nothing of value was lost.
    6
  1326. One question: Why is it OK for Putin to use them but not Ukraine? that is all.
    6
  1327. Cory gets the questions from viewers, mostly from Americans. So yes, oversimplified and cringey.
    6
  1328. he should have worked on his writing skills. Bombs are not cool.
    6
  1329. It helps a ton to be white, speak a fairly posh variety of English, etc.
    6
  1330. Anything with Tom Hanks in it is going to be awesome.
    6
  1331. Not hyperbole at all as they're following the exact same ideology. Hitler didn't even come down hard and heavy on the Jews until he was voted in - he mainly railed against the Communists. There were Jews who voted for Hitler.
    6
  1332. To give an idea of how small she was physically, that rifle on her shoulder where she's showing how she'd cut a guy's throat, is an M1 Carbine, which is a very small rifle. They're not much bigger than a Red Ryder BB gun.
    6
  1333. I was over in Japan in the 90s and if you had a cold, you wore a mask. It was just plain manners.
    6
  1334. Never think you are killing somebody. You are de-activating an orc.
    6
  1335. I'm waiting for him to double-down and call her a "doody head".
    6
  1336. Ken Burns it trying to look like Charles Bronson "lite".
    6
  1337. It's sure why I joined in the US around 1980....
    6
  1338. Plus it's not occupation, the Jews are in the same situation as the Tibetians, Kurds, etc.
    6
  1339. The thing is, if you just want a warm place to retire, there are better, much cheaper choices. Frankly when I left Hawaii for the mainland (Southern California) as a young adult, I was of modest means so I lived in an area that was heavily Hispanic and considered "high crime" where I was. (It was on Placentia Avenue in Costa Mesa, not far from "Airplane Park"). Well, I felt immediately at ease because just the change to a Hispanic culture from a Pacific Islander one was huge. I saw how the Hispanic people were much kinder to each other, I never saw one of them hit one of their kids, and I really can't say I saw any violence at all in that 'hood. Sure, there was some theft that went on like a neighbor parked her bike in front of her place for a few minutes and went back out and it was gone, but I can point to majority white places where bikes disappear like that too. My point is, you can move to many, many places in Mexico, Central/South America, etc. where you won't have the vicious dog packs or having to worry about your neighbor's 15-year-old son (who's already 6'4" and 240) deciding to try to cave your head in with a shovel because you're a "haole".
    6
  1340.  @yudilai6704  There's plenty of evidence; there are tons of Chinese spies in the US and occasionally one gets caught.
    6
  1341. Al-Queda instead of Y'all Queda this time. Capitol needs to be an armored fortress, could you imagine this happening in Israel's capitol or at the Kremlin?
    6
  1342. There are enough raving crazies out on the street where I am (san Jose California) that I think this may actually be a real-life zombie apoc.
    6
  1343.  @macrick  If you define a Roosevelt Democrat as someone who was alive and old enough to be influence by Roosevelt, yeah we're talking my dear departed dad, born in 1933. If you define a Roosevelt Democrat as being old enough to have voted for Roosevelt, they've got to be a vanishingly small group now. If you define a Roosevelt Democrat as some who's a Democrat and thinks Roosevelt is the best model, not today's loony left, then you get people of all ages, probably skewing older but of all ages, who have read up on Roosevelt and think he did a great job and would happily vote for another candidate like him.
    6
  1344. I don't see those as unflattering shots. They could have used shots of Trump guzzling a can of soda, bending over, showing off his terrible swing, etc. Those are just shots of a guy doodling around the golf course, if they're unflattering it's because Trump's an ugly slug.
    6
  1345. Because Uruguay. Because Israel.
    6
  1346. That photo makes him look soooo guilty, besides, what's the utility of showing the world just how thin his hair is getting on top?
    6
  1347. Well, "ban" is right in the name. It's a major part of their brand.
    6
  1348. Man you are really nailing this thing. My grandmother on my mother's side lived in Pasadena and bought a row of lots, I guess had a house on one and gardened on the rest, gradually sold them off as needed. My father's side lived in the area too - they were things like engineers. Well, my parents married and somehow although each generation had helped the next generation, that stopped and we hardly saw any of our relatives. Not on either side. My father's side were WASPS and of course they hate anyone who's non-WASP and after my own research because no one was going to tell me anything, I figured out that on my mother's side we're Lithuanian Tatars. That answered the big puzzle as to why we're kinda brown. So I can see my father's side hating us and not wanting anything to do with us, but if my mother's side was so different than the WASP side, how come they didn't give a shit when we were literally starving at one point? How can every generation help the next one and then, that stop cold with the Silent/Boomer generations? All I can conclude is that's one of the ironclad rules of American "culture". You. Are. On. Your. Own. I've got relatives who would rather cut their hand off than give any of myself or my siblings a sandwich if we were starving. And the only ethical, human conclusion to this is that America is innately, inherently, thoroughly, evil. And the only ethical course of action is to not do anything for America you can possibly avoid, and if you can do anything to drag it down, you do. If you can get away with doing anything to harm it, so much the better. www.reddit.com/r/AmerExit

  1350.  @sanansa4567  Yep probably had some judo lessons somewhere along the line, growing up.

  1351. But it was Texas, and she's white.
    6
  1352. I'm sure Stormfront has it.
    6
  1353. This is because of the US blockade, and also I want to see a video about medicines being smuggled into the US because we have people dying because of lack of access to medicines like insulin.
    6
  1354. If you know it's coming and can move out where it's deep enough, you won't notice it.
    6
  1355. That's not a proper medical term?
    6
  1356. I'm in "Silicon Valley" and the "internal third world" here is very obvious. Tons of people living 3 to a room, getting around on old bikes or the bus, a Silicon Valley" car is as likely to have dents, body panels a few different colors, and go chug-chug like cars in old movies, as be a Tesla. Yes there are lots of Teslas and new cars, but there are tons of people living like they're in ... someplace that doesn't come to mind when you think "first-world country" right alongside the people whizzing by in Teslas. I'm convinced this is where the "cyberpunk" authors got their ideas, because here you see an extreme wealth divide, the very rich and the very poor living not far from each other at all and doing their best to ignore each other.
    6
  1357. We went off the gold standard in the 1970s, and from then on, obscure but very important parts of the 1930s New Deal set up by Franklin Roosevelt, were torn town. There were a lot of New Deal things like regulations on banks, for instance.
    6
  1358.  @MrMalicious5  OK boomer

  1359. I'm pretty sure Muhammad Ali said that first, and he probably got it from an earlier fighter.
    6
  1360. It'd be nice to know his address so we know where to send our dog shit.
    6
  1361. I want to see Trump and "Gravesite" in the same title.
    6
  1362. You mean, go on to become decent citizens, who on average commit less crime than native-born people here? The horror!
    6
  1363. Considering the orcs' air defense of the orc hive consists of throwing empty vodka bottles at the invading aircraft, it's no wonder that invading their airspace is childishly easy.

  1364.  @tinyspeaker  You need to read up on Sikhism

  1365.  @BronzeDragon133  It's not just the franchisee, it was approved at the top corporate level. Maybe the franchisee was all for it but it was Corporate that gave the enthusiastic go-ahead.
    6
  1366. Go for it dude - just be careful you don't fell off of that penny-farthing.
    6
  1367. This is why Jewish people would have gefilte fish, the name means filled or stuffed fish but really it's fish terrine, a sort of fish loaf. Traditionally they'd save the skin and put it back in to look like a whole fish hence the name gefilte or filled/stuffed. But the main thing is, the person cooking it takes care of the bones, so the people enjoying their nice Friday dinner after a week of work don't have to worry about it. A lot of fish have lots of little bones or have soft flesh, and in Asian cuisines are used to make fish cakes because of this. So there are tasty ways to deal with this.
    6
  1368. There's green sand on Oahu too. The beaches around Diamond Head have some, and when I was a kid and we lived on (Dunn Dunn Dunnnnnnn!) Portlock Road, we played on a beach that was pure green sand. There's green sand on the beach by Kaiser Estate too.
    6
  1369. From ham-ass!

  1370. Yep I'd say his IQ, if IQ tests really measure IQ, would be north of 170. Probably north of 180. Maybe literally off the scale. We're talking about a massive outlier here, on the order of Bach, Gauss, etc.

  1371.  @thejasperandjenkinsinterne97  Short-term homeless are human. Long-term homeless are zombies and we all know what to do with zombies.

  1372. Hacking in the 80s and 90s was wild. And keep in mind a lot of these guys could build their own stuff like with a soldering iron. My little contribution was a "blue box" that was only a blue box when held upside down. It was just in time for blue boxes to no longer work anyway.
    6
  1373. The original meaning of "quarantine" is 40 days. Should have stood off shore for 40 days.
    6
  1374. Yeah, well, he's American.
    6
  1375. Exactly. The militia are, variously, military reserve members, veterans, or simply able-bodied males something like 18-50 years old. "Well-regulated" is an archaic term that means, actually, well-practiced. In Olde Englande, able-bodied men about 18-50 were required to practice with their bows and arrows, and our Founders merely carried that idea over to the new world. In a similar light, who is Antifa? It's anyone who's anti-fascist, of course. That's right, all Allied forces in WWII, who were fighting fascism, were Antifa. Simple as that.
    6
  1376. This is like asking why the Western world has been so mean to the smallpox virus

  1380.  @premsarin9866  Funny, because "robot" means "Worker" in Russian. He's a real ... worker. Don't think this guy's a bot. Keep in mind Russia has a lot of decent people there, better quality of life than the US, better education, yadda yadda.

  1384. Ahh Bomber Harris, love the guy. He had the right approach to orcs.
    6
  1385. I grew up in Hawaii where those who pretty much run the place are of Japanese descent. WWII was really not talked about (because they lost!) and even later, as an adult, the only discussion I heard of it was from the standpoint of "Us poor victims" kind of like the Nazis actually felt they were victims. It's disgusting.

  1389. He was making almost $200k a year. He's not going to walk onto another $200k a year job with, probably, a high school diploma or a certificate from diesel mechanic school. Plus, guys like this, like almost all mainstream Americans, are really, really shitty at saving money so he was probably paycheck-to-paycheck on his $200k a year. I've seen it. My boss lives this way. I make 1/10th as much and save money.

  1390.  @MrDandaowen  As an underfed 1970s kid, colds and flu used to really knock me out, I'm sure due to chronic malnutrition. It's not talked about but the US has an enormous "internal third world" of very poor people and I was one of them. This makes me wonder how many deaths are going on among people who are poor and therefore don't matter, and whose deaths will not be totted up, not just in the US but in countries that are even poorer.

  1391. I've been donating to Harris every week. Sunday, on the dot. But this weekend I donated 2X the amount because I think the campaign needs the money more now than a few days before the election. I hope I've done enough, but we all need to do our bit.
    6
  1392. Reminds me of the old Spider-Man cartoons when I was a kid. No matter how much J. Jonah Jameson ranted about how awful Spider-Man was, we were all on his side.
    6
  1393. You just have to keep it up. I can understand ending up house-less but how can you amass and live within huge piles of trash? And what is so difficult about keeping your personal papers etc on yourself or in a storage unit, or if you have a bank account, get a safe deposit box?
    6
  1394. We (the US) do big training exercises in Korea each year, and I've been in 'em. The North Koreans' standard reaction is to freak the hell out, because they never know if it's an exercise or for real.

  1395. Wildlife getting desperate and hungry.

  1396. My understanding, and please research this, is that Wilson had a plan called "Peace With Honor" where no guilt would be ascribed to either side and reparations would be far less than the treaty that was eventually enacted, and which disgusted Wilson. In other words, Wilson wanted it to be treated the way car accidents are treated under "No-fault" insurance. Bent fenders are fixed and bruised egos are assuaged by the fact that there will be no more fighting. But there was such hatred between France and Germany that the treaty that was enacted was very punitive and indeed, led to WWII.
    6
  1397. In the Before Times here in the US, there used to be regular A1C screenings they'd hold at senior centers and libraries and such places, and you could just go for free. Of course everything in the US is run for profit, and they wanted to get customers for diabetes meds that much sooner. But you can keep type II diabetes away by restricting sugar and carbs in your diet and hey it's a free test to see how your A1C is doing. Of course now, access to medical care at all is difficult much less anything preventative like that.

  1400. It's no mistake that Karl Marx did his research in England.

  1401. Xanax, heroin, meth, "tranq", it's all legal at the end-user level in the US. For Xanax you need a prescription and you can "doctor shop" but you can also buy it the way you buy the other drugs. The US is awash in drugs.
    6
  1402. I lived in a rural area and the electric meter reader used to use a spotting scope to read people's meters rather than approach very closely. A spotting scope is a telescope of a type favored by target shooters, that can give you a very clear, magnified view from maybe 30-100 meters away.

  1404. The 1970s didn't have homeless people everywhere, and since it was the Carter years they actually took public transportation seriously. It's the time my home state got new buses, for instance.

    6
  1409. The 1970s were a hard, hungry time in the US and I remember one thing that was imported from China was a sort of dried fruit snack called Haw Flakes. A package of those was cheap enough that my mom could afford to buy it for me when we took the bus into town, and speaking as a skinny, hungry, kid, a package of those were like Heaven. Thank you, Worker's Paradise, for the Haw Flakes. May the world be united under Socialism some day and no more kids go hungry.

  1410. My mom had a copy in the mid-70s it was definitely going around.

  1411. Firstly, there are no "Palestinians" they are Arabs with home Arab countries to return to. Secondly, you can't be at peace with people who are doing their hardest to kill you. Both the Hamas and Hezbollah charters call for the killing of all the Jews as well as the overtaking of Israel. It's like making peace with the smallpox virus.

  1412. German waves, shooby-dooby.... hehe. Anyway, I'm in the US and whenever I send something to Taiwan the label always prints out as "TAIWAN PROVINCE OF CHINA"

  1416. The guy's basically on a long-term diet as seen in the movie "SuperSize Me".
    6
  1417. Which is basically what FDR did. FDR was just much more of a leader. FDR knew the rich had to make some concessions to avoid a revolution. He was able to convince him of that because he was "old money" rich himself. This time around, once we vote Joe in, we've got to fight him to do what FDR did. (Side note: FDR probably came into his "old money" from an ancestor who made that wad by selling opium to the Chinese.)
    6
  1418. I'm in San Jose and there are TONS of homeless who do not fit the stereotype. They sleep in cars, in offices, and so on. They keep neat and clean and work. Street homeless, obviously homeless, the shitbirds you see setting up camps and leaving garbage all over the place, are to be considered like the zombies in The Walking Dead. Stay away, stay far away.

  1419. The idea is to gawk at them, not actually help them.

  1420. Louis Farrakhan - black supremacist who radicalized him. Really no different than the modern-day Nazis who find gullible people they can convince to shoot up synagogues or Black churches or whatever.

  1421. Knowing Donnie Dumpo, when the damned thing is over he'll have the roads blocked and charge everyone $50 a head to leave.

  1422. Westfield owns two huge malls where I am in San Jose. One's actually in Santa Clara I think and the other's on the east side of San Jose. I've lived here in San Jose for over 10 years and in the general area about 20. I've never been to either one.
    6
  1423. I was in a downtown food court / bar on election night in 2016 and I'm still not over the embarrassment. Lots of international travelers pass through there and I felt so deeply ashamed.
    6
  1424. Also actually help: There are organizations you can donate to from the Friends Of The IDF to the Jewish National Fund (plant a tree!) to Magen David Adom.

  1425. These photos of the land raised by about 12m are going to be famous. They show so clearly what happened.
    6
  1426. You have to ask yourself, What would Ike Eisenhower do? if Ike were President, we'd have medicare for all, a higher minimum wage, as someone said above, X number of paid sick days for all companies over a certain size, etc. Probably a much tighter leash on capitalism, and a silver standard if not the gold standard still intact.
    6
  1427. Canada geese have been known to swoop people here in the US and they're a much bigger bird. They get protective about their nests and young and when they set up a nest by the entrance of a building or someplace people kind of have to go, it can get interesting. They're usually pretty mellow though.

  1428. Err, no. Asia's where the innovation is going on. And China's going to take over from the Russians in being first in advances in Space.

  1431. "Hot wheel" is a real thing in AZ. Honestly you need driving gloves or, I was considering wrapping my steering wheel in light colored bike handlebar tape.
    6
  1432. Really? Got news for ya bunkie, it's been a Depression since the crash of '08. Most of us never recovered. Going from $70k to $17k a year, yeah, I'd call that a step down. It's a whole new way of life and has been for 14 years now. I'm almost glad I was a 70s kid because the 70s were a very hungry time and it taught me to be resourceful.
    6
  1433. This should always come up when people say they want to go live "like the American Indians" or "like the Hawaiians" etc. Cannibalism was routine in these societies.

  1436. I hardly go to McD's these days but a while back I went to one because it was on my way (and at the end of a long bike ride) and I stopped in for a 1/4-pounder and an ice water. It was my first time using an SOT and I liked it. I knew exactly what I wanted, was able to select what I wanted, pay, it was no problem. No more asking a worker for a "small Coke" and him turning around and handing me a small vanilla ice cream cone. No more hollering over the noise of the restaurant. It's always been with me that when I'd go int any fast food restaurant I'd have it decided in my mind ahead of time what I'll get so for me it's pretty straightforward.
    6
  1437. Certainly, if you can arrange some way to leave the USA the smartest thing you can do is leave the USA. Most of us can't leave, we're stuck here.
    6
  1438. Seriously, when's the national general strike? Where are the demonstrations? Time to take it to the next level. We can't see the next FDR cheated again can we?

  1439. It's been Great Depression 2.0 since the 08 crash for most of us.

  1441. I was doing art or surfing. Couldn't do both at the same time because the paper would get soggy.
    6
  1442. I've treated "black Friday" as a buy-nothing-day for years. I try to think ahead in buying things so if I think I'll need something in the Fall, I'll buy it months and months ahead, preferably when it's on sale.

  1445. I'm old enough to remember all the commercials for medicines for ulcers, when the idea was they came from worrying too much. Stress and strain. It turns out they're due to a germ, and the guy who broke the news had to campaign for years, even giving himself the germ in classic medical style/heroism, to prove it. I believe he won a Nobel prize for this. So ... maybe this is a thing? However there are very compelling arguments for the current theory, that it's calories in/calories out, and there's also compelling evidence - and results - that obesity is due to our current, and historically highly anomalous, high carbohydrate diet and the insulin spikes and crashes that go with it.
    5
  1446. I work with robots every day. I use an automated postal scale, sure it's a pretty dumb little robot, only good at weighing things and telling me if it's not level, but it's a robot where the old balance-beam scales I remember still seeing in post offices in the 90s are not. I take a lot of photos and since I don't want to do all that myself I use my camera on automatic mode so it focuses the lens and chooses the shutter speed and even diddles around with things like color balance, and lets me know if I need to keep extra still for some shots. That's a robot. Not like my dad's camera I used to use in high school which was entirely mechanical and I did everything myself. If we're going to have people out of work due to robots, then that's where something like a universal basic income needs to be brought in.

  1450.  @tonygarza7685  There was this little thing called WWII, and if you were Jewish it was pretty much leave Europe or die. (Or hide out etc which didn't always work, look up Ann Frank) so yeah, not as involuntary as black slaves maybe but not exactly a walk in the park here.
    5
  1451. So far the orcs' wunderwaffen have proven to be very disappointing - but fun to see them blow up, go down in flames, explode, etc. So they're always good for a fireworks show.
    5
  1452. So. Much. This. There are people who live in the USA all their life and are terrible at English and there are also different versions of English depending on social class. I'm poor now but grew up upper middle class at least during the time when my language was being "formed" and frankly I find it hard to understand the muttering, mumbling speech of the underclass.

  1457. So she worked for McDonald's so what? I worked for Baskin-Robbins/Bastard Rabbit as one of my first jobs and in the end it doesn't matter as no job I've done since has required me to scoop ice cream. The fact that she worked for McD's has made me feel warmly about McD's but the corporate-level decision of McD's to endorse Trump has caused me to boycott McD's for life. I'm boycottin' it!

  1458. Got nothing to do with Marxism, to have Marxism you have to advance from tribalism to feudalism to capitalism and finally Socialism. Africa's stuck on tribalism.

  1462. I've been off Reddit (I was using it read-only, not logging in) and went back tonight to my old subs .... same ol' boring shit. I did a quick visit to the major ones I followed and was overwhelmed by the feeling of "Not this old shit again" so all you have to do is take a week off and it will lose its allure.
    5
  1463. Because I have no paper trail, I am going through Reform conversion. Yes my mother had a very Jewish name, I have a chain of names going back to Lithuania, which as far as I can tell is a black hole information-wise, so the quickest way to solve this problem is to convert. I'll be the first one to laugh if it turns out a paper trail can be found .... But anyway except for very tiny pockets of certain towns in the US which is a very large country, it's pretty much Reform Judaism if you're going to follow any Judaism at all while not being independently wealthy. I plan to retire in Israel, and I look forward to it for a lot of reasons not least of which is that I'll be able to observe the holidays and "live Jewishly" much better there. The original Reform movement of the 1850s was pretty crazy. They put organs in the shuls and I understand there was "the treif feast" where they sat down and ate trief foods, just to show how independent and free-thinking they were. Also they were not Zionist. This has changed a LOT in the last 100+ years and even in the past 20 years and is still changing. Reform is a lot more conservative, we are very Zionist, "interfaith" marriages are very seldomly done now, and in tons of respects we're kind of merging with Conservative Judaism. Learning Hebrew is highly encouraged, we read our parasha each week, etc. A lot of us fast on fast days, and keep Kosher, as well as it can practically be kept in the modern US, also. I have to wonder, is a Jew who goes to a Reform shul and is pretty religious, more Jewish than a secular Jew who doesn't do any of "that religious stuff"? That's a question for the rabbis for sure. It's pretty straight forward in the Torah. The 10 commandments, the covenent (bris) the halacha or "Kosher" rules for behavior, commerce, interactions with other people, and the dietary laws. This is something I follow. Can I get "Glatt Kosher" meat in the US? Hardly. But in Asian markets I can buy beef that has not a spot of blood on it to be found anywhere. Shrimp and oysters and pork and things like that are pretty easy to avoid. I can buy Kosher products when I can and I buy Israeli products when I can. So am I really keeping Kosher? An Orthodox rabbi would probably say no. But then, 2000 years ago, Jews didn't have the kitchen with 2 separate sinks, etc. It's going to be a lot easier to keep Kosher in Israel that's for sure.

  1464. Yep navel warfare in the age of sail was interesting. Being able to "motor" in any direction was a huge breakthrough. In the age of sail, if you were becalmed, you were becalmed etc. Plus those old ships couldn't beat to windward for shit.
    5
  1465.  aneuB adiV  The Neanderthals died out probably due to lack of intelligence and adaptability. They never invented the bow and arrow, atlatl, or even the throwing-spear as they seemed to use spears for thrusting up close only. They just couldn't match Homo sapiens in the ability to plan as a group, cooperate, etc. What I'm saying is, dumber humans seem to do less well. That means you Qanon flat-earth types are the ones behind the 8-ball.

  1481. When the economy was in the tank in 2008-2009, I was offered a free place to stay in Oakland. It was legit, an old friend of an old friend of mine, who'd bought some building that used to be a church or something and wanted someone to help work on it and watch the place. Well, I'm a good shot but the legal complications .... I said No way.

  1483. Totally! I ride my bike every-freakin-where. I'd totally just be a bike nomad with shakuhachi across Japan. I just discovered what One Punch Man is about .... I am "rather good" and have done "rather well" as a combative art that is esteemed in the West. Not punching but something else. I was in the top few in the world. If my skills are needed, I can use them and I can teach them. But it is soooooooooo booooooooring. Frankly, shakuhachi is better! And that's not a combat skill unless like the old-time traveling monks, you had to use your shakuhachi to do the old "el-kabong" on some baddie.

  1494. Seriously I'm in the US in "Silicon Valley" and I don't know how much a storage unit is, but right now I live in my work place which is fine, but if I lose that for some reason, my plan is to put things into a storage and then to find places to sleep where I can't be detected. Or rent a small office and sleep in there. There are a lot of poor people here in "Silicon Valley" the US is not a rich country, it's a poor country with some rich people in it.

  1497. the Wikipedia article is not very flattering https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honne_and_tatemae but it will give a quick idea of what in the world we're talking about here. I think this is also a concept in English-speaking people, at least the middle-class and up.

  1501. This is what I don't get. Immigrants to the USA don't come to get on Welfare. They come here to work and work hard. Sure, some may end up in a situation where they need to get food stamps or WIC because they have children, but they come here to work and work their way up, not sit at the bottom rung of society on welfare. They think about the future.
    5
  1502. didn't you hear? Jesus is in Hell in a boiling vat of shit! Seriously, Christianity is an evil cult, that preaches that the poor should be punished for being poor, that the rich should be rewarded even more even if they got their riches by being evil, etc. Horrible horrible cult.
    5
  1503. This is what happened with the Nazis also. The German economy was doing badly and the reparations they had to pay for WWI sure didn't help. There were a lot of educated people out of work. Upward mobility was just about gone. A classic example was Goebbels who'd normally been an esteemed professor or poet or something.

  1506. So, a nazi youth rally? You know how people fantasize about how neat it would be to be in Germany in the 1920s and get to off Hitler? Well, we're at that time in history again. Would love to see the Dump get gutted like a fish right on stage in front of his worshipers and if you're lucky enough to get to do it, cut the evil ghoul's head off; make sure even the best modern medicine can't put Hitler 2.0 together again.

We had a few of the balls too but they were just kept as little treasures, like you keep interesting rocks and seashells and so on.
    5
  1512. Seriously at least here in the US the belief is, if you are a hunter, the ideal kill is nearly instant. Suffering makes the meat taste bad, not good, and of course there's the issue of suffering. And I know in Japan, in fishing, there's the practice of "ikejime" where you kill the fish very quickly.

  1514.  @Joey-ct8bm  The "Anglosphere" is the countries that speak English. US, UK, AUS, CAN, NZ, etc. Those countries are all having a hard time because with being an English-speaker seems to come with the idea of hyper-individualism, little to no social safety net, and a certain propensity to violence.

  1515. This is an exact parallel with the Nazis 1.0 declaring modern physics as "Jewish science". This is why I laugh when I read about fears that the Germans were on the verge of building an atomic bomb. They'd deported or killed off all their smart people, leaving Heisenberg all on his own, and he just made up stuff to keep the Nazi brass happy while he waited out the war.

  1516.  @soysauce4767  Only regained running water and a toilet a year and a half ago. It used to be a basic right that, in the US, if you worked, you got to sleep indoors. But now, you can be super smart and hard working and you'll still be sleeping under a bridge or in a hobo camp, when you're not working at your job or your 2nd job.

  1519. They're affordable, can be made very accurate, relatively easy to work on, parts everywhere, and they're good enough for the military. The AR15 was developed to be a bit more friendly to people who are smaller than the stereotypical 6-foot tall soldier, mainly Vietnamese and Korean troops but that translates well to women, youths, older folks, etc. The M1 is fairly large and heavy and a bit intimidating so if you have to get up to speed shooting the AR's a "friendlier" choice. BTW only the full-auto ones are true "assault rifles" and even then, only the M16A1's I learned on would do actual full auto and even then they taught us to try for 3-round bursts. Full-full auto is really wasteful.

  1520. Watched that show as a kid in Hawaii! Loved the one guy who always had a cigar crammed in his mouth when he went into a dive... I now know a nod to auto racer Barney Oldfield. And their base was called "Cavu" which I now know was an acronym for Ceiling And Visibility Unlimited.

  1525. The reason San Antonio is nicer is there are more Hispanics. I live in a place in the US that I consider pretty damn nice, if a bit expensive, and I honestly think the reason is around me there are tons of Hispanics, tons of Asians, tons of people who came from countries with intact cultures.

  1531. The pandemic toughened me up quite a bit, and once I stopped drinking I learned the joys of saving up money. Saving money is awesome and it doesn't have to be a lot. Just do it consistently and also look at where your money is going. Are you spending $5 a day on coffee on your way to work? Congratulations, that's about $100 a month. Learn to make your own and you'll drink better coffee anyway.

Got my first shot, will get my 2nd in a few weeks, am masking everywhere and even when this is over I'm keeping my masks (shoutout to OneMask brand I like 'em) so if I've got a cold etc I'll wear one like they do in Asia to keep from spreading it. Handy for dusty weather or when plant stuff is blowing around too.
    5
  1541. Capitalism requires a part of the population to be utterly destitute and desperate. This is the most basic, elementary-school level fact. The simplest tutorials on Marxism will explain why this is so, and once you understand how capitalism actually works (Yes, it makes some people rich but will never make more than a very small number rich, and will make at least as many utterly poor because it has to) you'll get past outrage to onward to figuring out how to fight against capitalism (hint: if you're a nice person you're already capitalism's enemy).

  1553. Yes, it says that a hell of a lot of Jews who were not in the US got killed off in the years 1933-1945. And Hitler wasn't able to kill off the ones who got to the US before those years. And the US and Israel being on friendly terms, there's a lot of travel back and forth. Lastly, if you learned English in the last 50 years, there's a pretty good chance you learned American English from movies, TV, American teachers, etc.

Unfortunately, even though I'm pretty pale, they wouldn't let me in because I'd have had to sign up in advance. So yes, anti-Fascists will still go to a Fascist rally.

  1583. It seems obvious to me since I deal in some of the stuff but yeah, "industry standard" means everyone uses it, everywhere. There's no longer the USSR/Sovbloc designing and making their own stuff, China making its own, etc. Everyone's using the same stuff, generally by US and European makers, or copies thereof.

  1586. In the US it's really common for delivery drivers or jitney cab drivers (Uber, Lyft) to not make enough to afford a place to live so they live in their cars. At least in the US if they keep a storage unit for their stuff and join a gym for showers, they can fake not being homeless pretty well.

  1591. The 2000 years since the destruction of the 2nd temple is the blink of an eye in terms of genetics. Jews fled to places in Europe but even with some intermarriage over the centuries it doesn't change genetics. It's how you got people who are pretty brown, in places like Lithuania which is north of Poland. Some of those brown people emigrated to the US, first to the East Coast and then California, and a few generations later there was my mom, who was pretty brown and I'm a bit too brown to be considered "white" in most of the US. People would say "You're 'something'" or "Really, what are you?" it's pretty funny. My mother and her people wanted to bury the past so thoroughly that we kids were told we're a bit brown because we're part Navajo. At least it's a bit more imaginative than the old Cherokee lie. But it turns out not to be true. I'm probably about 2 years out from making aliyah.

  1592. This. I voted for Hillary and that evening went down to a local bar to watch the results, sure that Hillary would win in a landslide (not that she was that loved but that the alternative was so awful) and watched in horror as this serial bankrupt huckster won. Where I went, a lot of foreign visitors tend to end up, and I had many of them tell me how shocked they were - I was, too.

  1593. My older brother and I discovered the bliss point. We used to take things around the kitchen and make weird mixes. Ketchip, mayo, etc.... and spread it on bread. What can I say? We were hungry 1970s kids. So one day we found - a miracle! - vanilla ice cream in the fridge. And we had maple syrup. We added a drop, good. We added another drop, still better. We added more.... and at a certain point, we had a disgusting mess that we had to eat, being good 1970s kids and horrified by the idea of waste.

  1594. @@Ayn-Rand-Is-Dead GM is quite interesting to study. Ford, an ol' farm boy, wanted people buying a Ford and keeping it going as long as they liked. He was serious about "you can have it any color you like as long as it's black" (and chose that color because it was the cheapest/toughest, being used on things like wagons etc.) and GM came in with the ever-changing "model year" and a large palette of colors, and most importantly, FINANCING in fact a decade or two ago GM was being called "a finance company that builds some cars".

  1609. The Middle East has the capability to be utterly beautiful - if you have people who take care of the land. I watched the movie "Restrepo" about an American base in Afghanistan, and there was a valley in the footage that was absolutely beautiful.

This is only because I am skilled at what I do and had a connection. $50 a day is a lot more money than a lot of people make in San Jose California. Allow me to reiterate: Do not come to the USA. Stay in Europe. A lot of Americans would jump at the chance to live in that burned out camp if it meant they could stay in Europe.
    5
  1626.  @serpentza  Where I am, San Francisco Bay Area, a lot of "Japanese" (mainly sushi) places are run by Koreans because most people can't tell the difference between Japanese and Korean people. Then you've got places like the one I knew as "the place you eat sushi with a fork" - it was Chinese run as all of these places are, and had largely Americanized Chinese food, some basic sushi, goodies like frog legs and lots of desserts, and a fork to eat it all with. Now the same place is Korean-run, and is seafood based (no more frog legs) and called Hokkaido Buffet, Hokkaido being in Japan of course.

  1628. I'm all for taking Hawaii out of the hands of the US. Then, it will end up owned by either Japan or China. I grew up there and look forward to retiring there and it will be easier for me to return there then go all the way to Japan or China and I supposed at least for a while Hawaii will be bi-lingual, English and Japanese or Chinese. At my age, I don't think I could become a fluent speaker of Japanese or Chinese, but I could get along happily back home under a regime where Japanese or Chinese are the official language and English accepted out of practicality. So far Hawaii is still US property but I am happy to see that it's become much more "Japanese" than even when I was a kid. We loved Japanese stuff like going to Shirokiya's or Iida's but now there's Donqui's and tons of Japanese stuff we could only dream about back in the day.

  1647. What I don't get is, I'm a Boomer, on the young end of Boomer but a Boomer all the same, and ... are the other Boomers nuts? I grew up watching M*A*S*H and not only were masks good enough for Hawkeye and Trapper John, and thus good enough for me, but Cpl. Klinger was not only one of the heroes of the show, but looked rather dashing in a dress. There were many episodes when Klinger saved the day and he was ace at his job. So who cared if he showed up in a dress, frilly hat, and parasol when they were in formation? It was no big deal. If there's on that that show taught, it was that people could be very different and all come together to do their jobs and make the world better. And I'm young to have been into that show, it was aimed at a bit older audience and I know it was very popular, so ... did people not get the message? All those shows taught that same message. All In The Family, Mr Kotter, Barney Miller, and that's just the TV shows. There were tons of movies and series that taught the same message. What the hell's up with my fellow Boomers, did they sleep through all this?

  1650. The thing is, he was making almost $200k a year working for the VTA and likely the job never required more than a HS diploma. So he could not just dance over to another $200k job with his qualifications. And I bet he was horrible with money like almost all Americans and had zero savings. if you save, save, save, you can switch to a more enjoyable job if you like.

  1651. I have no idea what's going to go on and I suspect most don't, especially bankers and "experts" but for me, right now I have enough in my bank to be able to write a check to pay my taxes and that's about it.

  1652. And he's still been doing excellent work. Good Presidents choose good advisors. FDR did this and keep in mind he actually died in office. Kennedy etc. Meanwhile the opposition is choosing their cabinet based on blind loyalty and their degree of weirdness.

  1653. Regret, astonishment at his past self, and a bit of shell shock.
    5
  1654. It's a war of attrition and Bakhnut has been an excellent meat grinder for orcs. The more orcs become good (dead) orcs, the closer Ukraine is to victory.
    5
  1655. College, at least junior college, is free in a lot of states now. And it's easy-peasy to get a Pell grant. Or joint the military reserve and it's free also. But seriously, California used to have guaranteed entry and I believe financial aid topped up to make it effectively free - regular college like the UC system - for every student who got a B average in high school. Then Reagan happened....

  1656. @Owen Tighe Not so easy to get food if you're small, or weak. So little kids, the elderly, disabled, etc. There's real hunger out there.

  1659. This is a big part of the homeless problem. "Just throw 'em out into the street!" - Ronald Reagan. Some people are just not good at life, and being homeless is playing the life game on hard mode.

  1661. My first thought was, "That guy who goes bankrupt all the time??". I'm 3 years younger and have had a lifetime of hearing on the news about that buffoon's self-inflicted mishaps. He's not "cool" or "edgy" and he never was.

  1663. The best guide is to look up the "Progressive Era" in the US which gave us, in time, many of the workers' rights we have now and later, the New Deal. They did it with strikes, boycotts, such actions.

  1665.  @ninas992  My understanding was that Wilson wanted to resolve it to "Peace Without Victory" in other words, peace, and no one gets to punish the other side. But Europeans being Europeans, of course the French wanted to grind the Germans into the dirt, hence the Treaty Of Versailles. (Maybe the Germans did deserve to be kicked a bit, but you don't have lasting peace that way.)

  1672. Anyone else remember that bug that came through around December or January? It made everyone cough. My boss coughed on me and I got it, I was hackin' up oysters. This was around the time they were talking about a "vaping disease" with younger people dying of pneumonia. I really wish there was antibody testing in my area (San Jose California) because I'd like to know if I've had covid. I got over the coughing crud, then around April had something that fit the description of covid and I got over that, too. I just wish there was testing.

  1673. This is a real disappointment.

  1674. @swampy Indeed. The hardware guys are all going away - my boss is a hardware guy and he's 70. He's constantly saving the bacon of young guys who slept through physics class. I'm a hardware tech myself and the jobs are just gone.

  1683.  @davidcarter8505  I'm whitish and truthfully I tried to get into a trump rally years ago, because I wanted to be able to say I'd been to one of those cult rallies and see low-budget orange sHitler up close (ish) but they wouldn't let me in. Even then, just the crowd outside and in the city was interesting - tons of non-locals, either really brainwashed or paid to be in, put up in hotels etc.

  1695. I lived in the area and had ZERO friends until I got into a sport and got fairly good at it. Then I ended up with a circle of friends/acquaintances. But this was back in the 90s, I don't know how it is now. It used to be possible to just ... live. I knew a guy who lived in one of the old oil worker's "shacks" in Huntington Beach. He rented it. His brother drove a cab, and when his brother slept he took the cab out too ... "Hey bro, got the cab all warmed up for you, filled the gas tank too" lol. There were all kinds of people who were just characters and they could live OK.

  1706. I haven't been able to find a good reference but I remember reading years ago that modern chicken-raising where they're kept indoors all their lives, only became possible with vitamin D supplimentation. Also, I remember seeing, as a kid, photos in National Geographic of Russian kids standing around a UV lamp to get their vitamin D in the far northern regions. Furthermore, Dr. Campbell himself would be a good example of the native population of England, pretty pale. My father was pure English-Scottish also and could not tan at all. That's what it takes to live that far north. I'm half Tatar and get pale in the winter and quite tan in the summer. A lot of Asians are like this, they can get very pale or very brown depending on how much sun they get.

  1710. Prescott and tons of people live in the woods there. In fact, after the crash of 08, tons of people were taking their cars they owed money on, leaving their houses they owed money on, and essentially being ex-middle-class homeless out in the woods.

  1711. No they will not.

  1713. I got to coast through 2001 but 2008 took me out of the game and I've only very slowly and very cautiously dared to step back onto the grid a little bit since then. Got to coast through 2020, in fact sales where I'm working now improved. But I'm trying to save like crazy because who knows what's coming next?

  1714. Orwell's other books like Down And Out In Paris And London, and The Road To Wigan Pier, are excellent too. And his essays are essential to understanding what made him tick. Such, Such Were The Joys, and Why I Write are great.

  1715. I'm in the US and not in the top 10% so no dentist for me. I've been brushing and flossing a lot more dutifully, and I have to admit, my teeth feel great. I need to get a dental scraper set and learn to use it, because I really need a cleaning.

  1728. I love the street scenes, the absence of homeless people pushing shopping carts full of filth, digging in trash cans, harassing people for money etc. I like seeing how nice and clean it is in Israel, the streets are clean and things are very neat. I love seeing the people sitting at benches and tables outside happily and comfortably and I love seeing people sitting around at cafes obviously discussing serious subjects and not being told to leave like they'd be in the US.

  1730. Stupid question - "Palestinians" are a fiction. These are Jordanians trying to invade Israel.

  1731. I think the "International" designation for an airport just means it's up to standard for the kind of planes that do international flights. So if something really catastrophic happens, those planes at least would be able to divert and land there. But man, just like you said, the place is really dead.

  1732. He almost did. At least he made an effort. Are you?

  1733. I went to Corona del Mar HS for a while. Believe it or not, I used to like a little lookout at Fashion/Fascist Island, back in 1980 or so when it was a lot more chill. There was this little lookout you'd never suspect was there, plus I, being a HS student, got around by bike so just biking around the area was peaceful and I lived on Balboa Island so that was peaceful too.

  1740. There are ranking systems by ecological organizations that say which fish are "best" or "worst" to eat. As a general rule, fish that are lower on the food chain are better. Smelt and sardines and so on. There are also fish that are farmed, like catfish and tilapia. There's also the option that if you have a pond you can raise some types of fish, or if you're near waters there are some fish that are sustainable to catch some of. Then there are cases like lionfish and those jumping carp, and where I am here in California, we need people to take sea urchins so our kelp can regrow. Back where I grew up in Hawaii there's an invasive snapper that's pretty easy to catch, and I'm sure they're tasty but unfortunately they harbor ciguatera poisoning - those might be something I'd catch and bury near trees that need fertilizer.

  1751. 12:58 - getting food stamps and using them to pay your rent is certainly a thing in the US. You're poor and homeless, and if you are lucky you find someone who will let you live in the garage or in a shed, and you pay them by using your food stamps (AKA EBT) to buy food for them. Then for your own food, you go out and scrounge or beg or steal etc.

  1752. There were/are Chinese people in Hawaii who came there far before the CCP came into existence and the Chinatown in Honolulu is really neat.

  1753. The main thing in the US is, you'd better not have an accident or any sort of illness, because the hospitals being overwhelmed means there's no bed or treatment for you.
    4
  1754.  Cease AndDesist  Oh, it was worse than that - when Israel was founded, yeah a lot of Palestinians left, but an equal number and we're talking 100s of 1000s here, of Jews from all around the M.E. had to leave where they were, and go to Israel or get killed. They had to leave houses, businesses, etc. They often had to walk, pushing babystrollers etc with what they could carry, classic refugee situation.

  1755. Just ask Reagan! Unconditional amnesty for 2-3 million illegals in the 80s.
    4
  1756.  @deathmwauthzyx3537  This is common in the US. People adopt children to use them for cheap labor. Another form of exploitation in the US is, you're poor and you get food stamps. So someone takes you in on the condition that you use your food stamps to buy food for them, then for your own food you beg, dig in trash cans, etc.

  1757. Chickens for KFC

  1758.  @Alice-ow9de  Maybe they just make good and damned sure they've got a case before taking someone in. Unlike the US where people get ensnared into confessing to crimes they never did, routinely. This is because the USA uses prison labor for just about everything from phone banks to making artisan cheese, and of course all government needs like military uniforms, so the USA has a vested interest in enslaving people because it can get their labor for 10c an hour.

  1763. Comrade Marx said "Under no pretext" shall the workers be disarmed.

  1764. The percentage of trans people among mass shooters is actually lower than the percentage of trans people in the general population. So if you're trans you're slightly less likely to be a mass shooter. However there's a very strong correlation between being Christian and being a mass shooter. Christianity is an extremely violent religion so the correlation between it and mass killings is no surprise.

  1766. I've been selling on Ebay for almost 25 years and you can't talk shit about the USPS around me. It's one of the last good jobs that don't require a PhD in this country, and they have an incredibly low lost package rate in my experience. If they're having problems lately it's because the Republicans are trying to get rid of the USPS, yes, the USPS Benjamin Frankly founded and that is in the Constitution. The treasonous Repubs are trying to kill off the USPS by requiring the pension to be rock-solid for far longer than any other company, like 100 years out or something, that's about 2 civil wars, a Carrington even, another plague, and a world war or two from now.

  1767. COPD is worth researching, it's a pretty bad thing and something to be aware of.
    4
  1768. The US was not going to let them take England. Plus the English had a not-so-secret weapon: Winston Churchill. The English aristocrats were ready to give up to Germany if they got to keep their wealth, but Churchill put the kibosh on that. His "We'll fight them on the beaches..." speech was a heads-up not just to the English people and to the Allies, but to the English aristocracy whom were really surprised by it.

  1769. Remember as late as 1943 it didn't look good for the Allies. But by late 1944 it was pretty clear the Axis was losing.

    4
  1772. Exactly how Hitler, Goebbels, and Goering herded people. Those last two were more of the intelligence behind the Nazi movement, with sHitler the "talker". It was a 1930s/1940s version of the old Rush Limbaugh line, "I'll tell you how to think!".

  1778. Why are people still voting Republican these days? It's called doubling down on failure. I have voted Republican, long in the past now. Since "shrub" and especially since Low-Budget Orange Hitler(tm) that party is dead to me. Old-line conservatives like William F. Buckley Jr. would be appalled at what the party has become.

  1780.  @AB-ii8st  He's got that "Ew, sports" vibe going.
    4
  1781. Just like the Viet Nam war in the US. The US's oligarchs loved it. The US's military-industrial complex loved it. But only the most brainwashed right-wing troops who actually had to go there, were for it. The vast majority of troops hated it.

  1783. Not sure where you are in the world, but there are a lot of ways. First, vote! Vote for parties that are for a strong Israel and/or those who have strong support for Israel. Secondly, there are organizations from Friends Of The IDF to Magan David Adom to the Jewish National Fund you can support.

  1787. This. I lived in a town about 30 miles south of the so-called "Silicon Valley" so, not a ghetto and not middle-of-nowhere. And a neighbor one street over was in the habit of talking about his gun collection. Well, one fine night he was tied up, several vehicles stolen, "money! guns!" like the lady says, and the guy was tied up to a chair and beat up really badly. He managed to get himself loose and staggered to a neighbor's and was so bloody he was unrecognizable until the neighbor heard his voice.

  1792.  @kpoppedia8399  He's not going to use a language in which he's not fluent and can "think on his feet" in. That means Russian or German.
    4
  1793. No, we fought the right one. But, as Patten said, we should have taken what was left of the German Army and cleaned up Russia. Then there'd have been no need to arm up Germany after the war to defend against the Russians and then we could enact the Morgenthau Plan. So yes indeedy Patton was right.

  1795. The correct words are "whining" and "wheedling" he sound like a desperate used-car salesman trying to wheedle up money to cover his gambling debt that his wife is about to divorce him for. For more see "Ol' Gil" on The Simpsons.

  1796.  @audacityx  Seriously 1/2 of Americans make less than $30k a year. Many make less than 20 grand a year. Wages are going down not up.

  1797. Remember that "vaping disease" causing youngish people to due of pneumonia? Wonder if that was covid .... there was also this cold or flu or whatever it was that wen through, that made people cough a lot and I had it and had a touch of pneumonia from it too, I just coughed a lot and felt like crap then got better. There's no access to testing in the USA unless you're wealthy so I'll never know.

  1799. This isn't 100% the landlord's fault, a lot of it is the tenants. I've lived in very poor places in the tropics and the key is you've got to be clean, clean, clean. I don't care if you don't have soap, you wash anyway. If a 12th century Japanese peasant can keep their little hovel neat, so can we.

  1800. College used to be affordable in California because before Reagan came in we admitted we live in a society and we effectively paid for each others' kids to go to college at a very affordable rate, plus trade schools if kids were more trades-inclined.

  1818. I'd still like to know what that "coughing thing" my boss and I had in early 2020, was. My boss came over and was coughing on me (nice guy, eh?) and then I got it, I remember being under the weather for almost a month and my sense of smell may have been dulled anyway because I remember having to make my meals "pretty" to make me want to eat them. I lived on a lot of soup.

  1819. When I was 22 I was working 10 hours a day, underfed, barely surviving but that's the norm for the USA. So I was already pretty grown up, but this guy takes the cake for sure. He's like the WWII generation.

  1820.  @skipperg4436  If you can get out of Russia first, then you take what you can get, S. America, Africa, who knows, then through a series of steps get to the EU or USA or somewhere. A caveat: The USA is not Heaven. There are a lot of places that are better as well as worse than it.

  1821. The Hell's Angels were never pilots, not a one of them. The took their name from the title of an old movie, "Hell's Angels", about WWI pilots that had some great dogfight scenes and had a lot of old WWI pilots flying in it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell%27s_Angels_(film) Real-world Hell's Angels were working-class/underclass guys who worked as little as possible. One of the main "clubs" (gangs) that went on to form the Hell's Angels were called "The Pissed-Off Bastards of Berdoo" lol.
    4
  1822. I feel this so much, about where I grew up. Thought people were ignorant and dumb and old-fashioned and looked down on them for eating foods that aren't mainstream American, and our funky local comedians and our funky non-mainstream music ... all of it. In fact for years I'd never tell anyone where I grew up. Now, well, I take it all back. It's one of the least American places in America and I can't wait to retire there.

  1823. Maybe lots of people giving cash for Xmas and New Years. Asians are big on this, put the cash in a little red envelope, they're very civilized that way.

  1825. Area needs to become a "sundown town"
    4
  1826. If you do things with cash, you tend to be more conscious of how much you're spending and to, because of this, spend less and save more. And ... saving money is very big in Asian cultures. It's a huge difference between Asian and "Western" cultures. I'm in the US and it's possible to live pretty well without using cash but I used it a lot and am even considering, when I get my pay check, just taking out what I'll allow myself to spend in cash and not using my card at all.

  1828. I grew up in Hawaii eating Hawaiian/Asian foods, grew up using chopsticks, eating raw fish, our favorite candy was various Chinese type pickled plums etc. the brand name being "Yick Lung". So how am I doing cultural appropriation? It's the culture I grew up with.

  1829.  @skarut1485  He's discovered Ayn Rand, apparently. Wait until he finds out how pathetic she really was, from her love and worship of a child killer, William Hickman, to Ayn's eventual poverty and dependence on Social Security and Welfare. I actually accidentally found a local (here in Silicon Valley) meeting of Objectivists, and I was invited to sit in. It was held in a side room at Coco's, and I'd not eaten all day so I ordered a nice steak dinner. They looked at me in shock for eating such a thing because they were all broke-ass poor and getting by on appetizers, probably bought with coupons and I bet they didn't tip for shit. They were the very opposite of what I expected Objectivists to be, even if just as a front. By then I'd long, long outgrown what passes for philosophy as spouted by Rand so I had no axe to grind, but wow what a "beta" group of people.

They were following a philosophy based on late -1800s racial theories, plus a religion (Christianity) that teaches hatred of Jews, plus they had a bunch of occult groups like the Thule Society that believed if you bred pure enough white people, somehow, they'd be able to fly and have ESP and stuff.

Israel's life expectancy is higher than that, and that's, yes, taking into account bombs and working-class Arabs who are pack a day smokers by the age of 12.

  1842. Ah, Apple ... I bought a new Macbook Air in 2012, the larger size. It lasted 8 months. I was very careful about it, and it just started failing in all kinds of random ways. I managed to sell it to a guy (who I think repairs or has a repair guy) for a few hundred $ before it became a doorstop. Of course I'd gone to the same Apple store where I'd bought it at the first signs of trouble and they said, "You don't have Applecare? We can't help you!". Now, the fluxes used on modern circuit boards are water-soluble and often "hygroscopic" which means they'll actually attract water out of the air. This is not a problem if the circuit boards are properly washed off after being soldered. But I have a theory they leave just a little bit on, don't wash the boards quite well enough, so they'll fail in a year or so and then if you didn't pay a few hundred for an Applecare plan, then they have a good chance you'll just a new laptop because you're married to the Apple ecosystem. Joke's on them, I got a few-years-old Windows machine that turned out to run circles around the new Apple for battery life, and never looked back. Used Dells are a great value.

  1848. Harbor society is rough. And often crazy and dangerous. When I was a kid we often stayed on a friend's boat in Ke'ehi Lagoon on the island of Oahu and I can only compare it to Puna/Pahoa on the Big Island for the concentration of weirdos, refugees from the law, predators, druggies, etc. It's a violent and very very un-boring society.
    4
  1849. Yep I'm in "Silicon Valley "and I keep meeting people who seem like they'll make great friends, and I never see them again after the first meeting. You can have friends here, but you have to pay them to be - either flat-out buying them stuff and taking them out for expensive dinners etc., or "pay" them by being really connected.

  1850. He and Zed were very positive about China. What happened is China has become very nationalist and very hostile to non-Chinese in China. All the dynamic duo here have done is describe their own experiences. But like criticising the Nazis when they were at their height, or criticising the Bumbling Orange Buffoon(tm) here in the US, Modi in India, etc., if they decide you're irritating enough, you will be capped.

  1851. The US needs to look at Japan or Singapore for examples of sensible drug laws. I'm not joking.

  1852. Yep health care is nearly impossible to get if you're not employed in the US. If you're employed, some of the time, you get health care. You probably can't afford to use it, but there's a chance. And don't get seriously sick at all, or you'll lose your job, house, family, everything. Learn to build guillotines now and avoid the rush.

  1861.  @neurogabu  I grew up like any kid loving chocolate. Well, about age 59 or 60, I started having these headaches. I tried all kinds of things, supplements, getting rid of a propane tank in my shop that had a tiny leak, drinking lots of light beer (which actually helped a little at first but then became a problem on its own) just everything. And I kept having the headaches. I thought about my older sister's migraines and how chocolate is a trigger for migraine sufferers. I thought it's crazy, but when I thought about it, I was eating chocolate just about daily. Not a lot, one of those Japanese chocolate bars, etc. So I thought, it's crazy but I'll try it. Result: No more chocolate, no more headaches. It's a tradeoff I'm very happy to make. I've also cut way back on caffeine.

  1867. The big difference I see between how I grew up in the 1970s which was a hungry time indeed, and kids now is I'll take a leaf or a berry right off a plant as I'm walking along and eat it, I know how to fish and hunt and so on. I last tried the survivalist thing out in the country and I dunno about those guys, I was the only one who'd kill a chicken. The real hunger stopped in the early to mid 80s and if you were born in say 1990 you're 32 now and just have no concept of 1970s hunger just as I have no idea of 1930s hunger as I was not alive then. I also grew up able to fix things, make my own toys, etc. The 1970s had more in common with the 1930s than the 2020s frankly.

  1871. The modern Olympics started out as a sort of fun rivalry between nations, very strictly amateur so it was limited mostly to "the idle rich" and a few motley oddballs. Then after WWII it became a big rivalry between the USA and USSR and a showcase for which was the better system, communism or capitalism. Then when the USSR fell, it's kind of lost a lot of relevance.

  1873. It was like that here in the USA in the 70s, I had to get out to forage, fish, or find some work for make a few dollars, then come home and my two younger sisters and myself would decide what to buy with the few dollars I'd earned, and we'd have dinner. I was a teenager, 14 years old to maybe 17 years old. Most people in the USA are damned poor and are well acquainted with hard times. But this is why people might disobey curfews, because if you can't get out you don't eat.

  1876. Well, the US was in party mode from the end of WWII until mid-70s and yes it's been decline since, but it's a process of equalizing of standard of living around the world. Ours had to come down, BUT, a rational leadership would institute things like universal healthcare, an income "floor" like Nixon suggested, and so on.

  1878. I have a Sneaky Little Theory(tm) that nuclear power has so far operated at a large loss. By the time you factor in all the motor vehicles used to go out and get the ore, the energy used to refine it, the energy and materials that go into the plans, the disposal and theoretical reprocessing of the spent fuel rods and on and on and on .... it's a big boondoggle that's been riding on the shoulders of conventional power.

  1880. Let me guess, you're brown? I brown up pretty well in the warm part of the year and had a Karen go after me right here in San Jose.

As for guns, Meh, I've forgotten more about guns than most people will ever know, and even in very restricted nations in Europe, if you want to hunt or target shoot or yes, even defend your home, you can have a gun once you pass through the filters to keep the nutty-nuts out.

  1890. Nader's been a gangstah from the beginning and it's very interesting to read up on him. He was originally hired, as a young man just out of college, to figure out whey the Air Force was losing more pilots on the roads than in the air, and this was during Viet Nam when we lost some pilots. The result was his book on car safety, "Unsafe At Any Speed". Nader was notorious for buying a large batch of surplus Army shoes so he'd never need to buy shoes again, and living in a small, inexpensive apartment - he was a public figure who couldn't be bribed! Needles to say the establishment can't stand him and he's still around giving lectures at least online, I come across him when I watch Michael Moore's stuff.
    4
  1891. I admire him because he had the gumption to head off to Japan, he put himself through a lot of work learning Japanese, he's talked about shutting himself in his room and forcing himself to learn tons of kanji etc. The basic entree to get into Japan is a 4-year college degree because that makes you eligible to teach English. And this is where some resentment and jealousy on my part comes in. You see, Chris is from the UK where a college degree is very affordable to get. I'm in the US where a college degree means a near-lifetime of crushing debt. So I never finished mine. Hence, Chris is eligible to teach English in Japan and I am not, although Chris speaks with some kind of horrible Scouse accent and my own speech is much, much closer to what someone who wants to learn English wants to, and should, learn.

  1898. That Morroccan guy ... the scene in the backgrounds ...

  1900. Never ever forget that the ali'i (royalty) were fine with all this. They basically owned the common people and did things like force them to harvest all the sandalwood in the islands to sell for Western baubles. They forced the common people to do all kinds of things like that, for no pay so they had to work plus work more to feed themselves and their families. It's why Hawaiians left in droves as quickly as they could. It's the Pacific Islands' version of all those people who were serfs in the Russian Empire leaving in droves once the Czar allowed serfs to leave if they wanted. Tons of them wanted to all right. It's why there are instances all the time on the US mainland of people taking a DNA test and finding out they've got Hawaiian blood. There was even a Hawaiian settlement up in the West Coast of Canada. The ali'i's idea of a good time was to take a guy, force him to build a heiau (temple) then sacrifice him on the temple he'd just built. There's a lot that's great about the old days and a lot that's utterly horrible. Native Hawaiians should get their water and their land, and should be able to keep the best of the old world and the new one.

  1916. OMG food is cheap in Singapore! You can eat like a king there on $5 a day. On $5 a day in the USA, I could do it but I'd have to visit a lot of dumpsters and pick some "weeds" too. Maybe get into trapping, we have too many squirrels here anyway.

  1917. Stolen Valor and an insult to fast-food workers.

  1918. I applaud Biden for having the guts to "rip the bandaid off" as we say, and get it over with. What would it have taken otherwise? The Afghani version of the Tet Offensive? It's well past time to stop tossing American working-class kids into the grinder just so the military-industrial complex can make money.

  1921. That's how I grew up. Aircon was in offices and such places, in your house you had windows, over doors there were openings called "transoms" to let air circulate, houses were built on little stilts lifting them up off of the ground and letting air circulate, and you had trees growing around your house to help with shade.

  1922. I lived in a small town in Arizona decades ago and the general way things were done was, when you went into "town" you didn't need to wear a gun but you sure as hell did around your own house! Real "The Hills Have Eyes" country.

  1925. I wonder if there was something going around because in 2019 around the same time frame I also got pneumonia and I was feeling more and more run-down, more tired, less appetite for food so I had to make my meals "pretty" to even be interested in eating them, and I think I was running a fever. I finally thought maybe I have TB, but it's nearly impossible to get a TB test in the USA so I went to a regular hospital in the only way the non-wealthy can; by going to the ER. I got "Z-pack" which was only $50 at most that fixed me right up. But the expenses! Should have been free for me because I'm poor but all told it cost me about $1000. Honestly, "Z-pack" is a really commonly known course of antibiotics and I could have gotten as good care with 1/100th the expense in Sub-Saharan Africa or Afghanistan or Mongolia or someplace.

  1929. Well, keep in mind the Nazis 1.0 had plenty of Nazi doctors who came up with all kinds of theories that don't map to actual science and lots of "experiments" (ways to torture) to "prove their theories" - get their jollies torturing someone. Nazis 1.0 or 2.0 are Nazis, and we all know what a good Nazi is...

  1930. Someone showed one of those neat scatter charts on Reddit ... there's a strong correlation between politics and propensity to getting vaccinated. So while rethuglicans are dying not only from covid but opiates, suicide, violence and good old inbreeding, Dems are looking pretty good.
    4
  1931.  @dors.sc1  Exactly - Jews had to fight the English and fight them like hell to found Israel. And as for the USA, well, it was busy twiddling its thumbs while the Jews of Europe asked for asylum there. I am in the US and I am not Jewish, but I have read my history and Jews fought for everything they got. They got no handouts from the US or the English or anyone.

  1932. 'Scuse our giggling over here...

  1933. Hitlermania had died out for a hot minute there, then a crappy country that just happens to have a huge economy and military has elected a "Hitler ordered from Temu" to lead it. Said cheapo sHitler is following the original Hitler playbook very closely so there's new interest in this playbook.

  1934. Where I am in the San Francisco Bay Area, there was a sort of flu that made you cough a lot, that came through around the holidays. Also we had an early covid death around then. I remember my boss came over and coughed on me, and I thought, "Well, I'm going to get it" and sure enough I got it, coughed a ton, and we both got over it, but around that time there were reports on the radio about a mysterious "vaping disease" with young people dying of pneumonia, thought to be from vaping. Since there's no testing for the non-wealthy or non-famous in the US we may never know if that was actually a first wave of covid. People outside the USA need to understand that for a huge portion of people here in the USA, you do not just get to go to the doctor. It costs too much!!! So we tend to wait until something's serious then go to the emergency room where they can't turn you away. We also tend to die of things that would be caught with regular health screenings but those are only for the rich in the USA.

  1935. I got immunized for smallpox in the US Army around 1980. It made a nasty pustule about the size of a dime that scabbed over but the scab would fall off in the shower each night. Not painful, just kinda gross to look at. We all had scabs like this. I still have a little round scar. I suppose people nowadays would freak out over getting an immunization like that.
    4
  1936.  @darwin6883  I agree with him. Sure he uses terms like "an animal soul" but there are different cultures with differing cultural assumptions. For instance, in the US it's normal to kick your kids out of the house at age 18 and not help them at all so they have to make their own way in life. That's an American cultural assumption. You could live in a nice big house, and spend enough money to support your son, who is now homeless, on your pets. This is normal in the US. In China, that's horrifying to even think about and parents support their kids. Because in China it's a basic cultural assumption that people who are family, work together. So in the Torah the term "animal soul" might be used as a way to explain it, but say you've got a culture where it's normal and even encouraged to befriend someone and then kill them when they could benefit from it. The Germans did this to Jews once Hitler was in power, the Arabs did this on October 7th, and I expect the same thing to happen here in the US if Mango Mussolini gets into power.

  1937.  @jplayer073  Our Simon is all over the friggin' place talking about anything and everything. I think he's decided to cash in while his larynx and beard hold out and in this economy who can blame him.

  1938. This times a million. In Germany companies have unions and have a union member on their board of directors - it's the law. They have a system where their gov't gives money to the companies who then pay the workers the same or at worst 80%, so no one becomes homeless, loses their house etc. And needless to say they've got a national health service. In USA, one time payment of $1200 if you're lucky and that's it. I think I might have the rona but there's no testing I can find and I"m in "Silicon Valley" there's just nothing. And I have to keep working so I have to go out most days.
    4
  1939. Biden is not a Progressive. Biden is a Liberal and there's a huge difference. Liberals value "stability" over actual progress/justice. Yeah I voted for Biden because I'm not going to vote for any Republican, but Biden is the same as a school official who wants you to shake hands and "make nice" with the bully who torments you every day in school, when in reality the actual solution is to put the bully in the hospital.

  1941. Just read some history folks. The Arab colonization push that started in the 7th century is still ongoing. The Arabs want Europe, the US if they can get it, Asia, and of course Israel as well as Africa. Islam is all about world conquest.

  1955. I voted for her. As I said to a friend, the "vibe" she gives off to me is that of a high school principal, and anyone who knows me, knows that high school principals and I don't get along, but a high school principal is not going to burn down the damn school and for that alone she had my vote. Same goes for Biden. He's not my ideal but he's head and shoulders above anyone else in the running.

  1965. I think the difference in domestic and export (to the US) soy sauce is this: In the US, soy sauce is not a mainstream food. The people who use it tend to be more health-conscious and will literally count the number of ingredients on a label. There are food "experts" in the US who will advise to actually count the number of ingredients in foods and not buy any with more than 3, or 5, etc. So US soy sauce buyers are label-readers and ingredient-counters. However, the preservatives are put in the domestic product for a reason - it costs the manufacturer money to put them in, and they do so because it makes a better product. More shelf-stable, less likely to degrade, etc. I'm no gonna look at lamb roll the same way again though lol.

  1966. Yes and the basic model is drifty and tricky to supply power to. Besides other faults. But it's fun to play with. If you're serious get the modern model that's modern looking (and modern priced!) but it's something you can make actual music with.

  1969. That's because small biz owners tend to be libertarian creeps and I've been one myself. I work for someone else now and while he's a nice guy to work for he still has a good streak of "fuc' you, I've got mine" that's rampant in small biz owners. If I ever start a business again where I have employees, I'm setting it up as a worker-owned co-op.

  1970. A shining example is the classic, and great, Atomic Cafe the makers said the movie was a total surprise (documentaries were not the hot stuff they are today) and that they'd never have been given the access to historical materials they had then, if they were to make that movie now.

The protip for California here is get a storage unit, you know, those things people use to store unwanted furniture and dusty old record collections in, anyway, get one of those, and then you have a place to keep things so you don't have to carry your entire world on your back or in a shopping cart. Then try to look as non-homeless as possible, pick up odd jobs or however you're going to make your money, and there's at least a sort of a life. It's my own plan B, for myself.

But yes, in civilized places like Asia, there is definite strength in numbers.

  1986. Yes! Arabs make a big thing of being united and caring about each other, why are they not providing refuge, for people whose history in Israel is only a few generations anyway? What this reminds me of, is some of the pranks played in the US Southwest, where at least one fictional "Indian tribe" was invented by people who were not aboriginal to the area at all, and actually got gov't recognition at least for a while. For a fiction.

  1997. The problem is, the cyclist didn't have good "zombie avoidance". Zombies = the homeless, drunk/drugged, crazies, oddballs in general. Sadly the cyclist didn't avoid the oddball, you have to develop "spider senses" and suss people out before you get near them, and if it's a zombie, you need to swerve, go into a store, hop off the bike to suddenly inspect a tyre, any of a number of ways that result in your not getting near the zombie.

  1998. Life for the average person here in the US is getting progressively worse. So more "deaths of despair" are a logical conclusion.

  1999. I make very little, about $15k-$17k a year. Such is life, I made the poor decision to go into electronics .... anyway I had to see a doctor last year and of course being poor, my only access point to the medical system is to go to the emergency room. Most of it was paid for, as the actual bill was about 10 grand, but I still had to pay out about $1000 on my own, plus tons and tons and TONS of paperwork and I swear I sent out 6 copies of my taxes to various billing agencies etc.

If I stay in the USA I will be living in a cardboard box and chewed by rats, will probably be killed by a meth-head or a pack of feral dogs. If I retire in Israel I can live like a human being. Even see the doctor if I'm injured or sick.

  2008. Writing from Silicon Valley here - 99% of the people in tech would be better off cleaning hotel rooms or driving a bus or being a line cook. They'll be better paid and have more security. My boss is a genuine rocket scientist. He has multiple degrees and invents medical devices. A guy we know has a room-temperature IQ, does the lowest jobs, and he makes more, has a nicer house in a more expensive area, and his son will probably be a name in major league baseball in a few years. My boss' son uhh, doesn't work. Tech is a horrible field to go into. I'd say become a professional clown but actually being a professional clown or a basket-weaver is a more promising, solid, career.

They took the guy around a corner away from view of cameras, and beat him on the head so hard he shit his pants then took him to jail, and he'd be there still except a friend had gotten an inheritance and was able to bail him out.

  2031. I'm American but grew up in an unusual part of the US, the state of Hawaii. The ruling group in Hawaii is of Japanese descent, and guess what? WWII was not talked about. It was not taught in schools. I only learned about the Holocaust from TV movies that were played that my mother made sure we watched. Ruling classes are generally not very keen on pointing out their own mistakes.

  2034. Nobody wants to leave their native land unless things get really bad. Swedish people were willing to come to the US and settled the Northern Midwest because back in Sweden at the time they were damn near starving. My boss's folks left Poland because it was part of the RuZZian empire. Same situation for my mom's folks, from Lithuania. Until the US got its independence, it was, among other things, a penal colony for England. You could get hanged, or you could be "transported" to the Colonies, your choice. I'd say most of the US immigrants have always come here because things were not exactly peachy back home.

  2036. This is exactly the explanation. The US is hyper-individualistic. Kids are kicked out of the house by age 18, to "sink or swim" as the popular American expression puts it. If you ever wonder why Americans so often put their parents into horrific "care homes" where they die of neglect and bedsores, this is the reason. "Family" means almost nothing in the US. You are on your own.

  2043.  @solarmanhawaii  The Khazar theory has been completely disproved. DNA analysis, once we had it, blew that theory to bits.

  2044. As long as you have a boat to sleep on, you could rent a small office and do your programming etc. there. That's what all those "working spaces" were about, the most hilarious ones being the ones with free beer. But honestly, even now, it's possible to rent a small office for a few hundred a month or an artist space (just crank out some shitty art once in a while) and that could work.

  2045. Really surprising. I thought e. Europe had plenty of housing, crappy housing but housing all the same.

  2046. co-inventors? Standard in US companies is, if you work for them, anything you invent belongs to the company with no recognition.

  2050. I know they have respect for monotheism so that's pretty much fellow Moslems and Jews, but I'm sure they've got telephone books written on killing Jews.

  2051. If you can get to see it, there's a movie called something like Dear Mr. Waldman that takes place in the early Israel, 1940s or 1950s. It gives an idea of what life was like, where new land developments were just .... sand as far as the eye could see.

  2052. We in the US got 30 good years out of WWII: 1945-1975. It's been going downward since 1975.

  2055. There's a reason all the classic anticapitalist writers are from, or talk about, England. From Marx and Engels on down to Orwell, Wells, to our current writers trying and trying to get people to realize that capitalism is really utter shit.

  2056.  @j.dunlop8295 No one remembers this, but when the USSR fell and there were things like McDonald's coming in, the Russian McDonald's had as part of the menu, shots of vodka in these little containers with a foil top you'd peel back.

  2057. Oh come off it, "Chef Mike" (microwave) can boil water just fine. Olive Garbage operates like Taco Bell, everything comes in big plastic bags, just immerse in boiling water to heat up.

  2058. All theories of ketchup packets aside, he got nicked by something, like a fragment of the podium. Ear cuts can bleed a lot for their size, but also heal up quickly. So I'd not expect there to be a scar.

  2059. I haven't driven a car for over 10 years now, get around by bike, and well, it would be a little bit inconvenient if I lost the use of my flip phone, but I'd get by OK. As for a mortgage, Ha! I'm in the US and land ownership is class-based. I was not born into the land-owning class so I don't even think about it. Still if I were you, I'd find a way to lay very low like out in some small village in the East, or get out of muscovia.

  2065. And yet you have regular maintenance done on your house ... the US has to constantly maintain its borders and security, every country does. It's a constant battle for everyone. Does your town's police force give up because they have to keep fighting the same battle against crime? Maybe you got covid and recovered, should your immune system give up now because it's just the same old thing, fighting infection, day in and day out?

  2069. Only time I've seen aspiration practiced on an IM shot I've gotten is when I've done my own shots. I think the idea is, in the shoulder, there are not a lot of large vessels you can hit. I've done my own in my leg where there are, and I aspirate.

  2070. I've been by there about a million times. I'll have to actually go in and try a slice. What makes it a must for visitors to "Silicon Valley" is, it's not only a slice of New York but a slice of the real Silicon Valley in that it's in a run-down strip mall that proudly wears the mantle of decades upon decades of deferred maintenance. This is the real Silicon Valley.
    4
  2071. OK they're just keeping their eyes out for anything that might indicate trouble. Keep in mind the most dangerous group in the US are the right-wingers and there are all kinds of little rogue cells no one knows about until they do something. Add to this the fact that the right is very big on "purity testing" for instance, they wanted to hang Mike Pence during the insurrection, and they've called out for violence other members of their own ranks they consider not "pure" enough.
    4
  2072. "Palestinians" to refer to Arabs is a mid-1960s USSR propaganda point. The only colonialism in Israel is Arab colonialism. The Israelis are in the same situation as the Hawaiians, they have ONE land that's their own, being invaded by Arab and Anglo coloniialists/imperialists. Am Israel Chai! From the river to the sea, Israel is Yehudi

  2073.  @YochevedDesigns  I plan to make aliyah in .... ASAP but realistically it's at least a couple of years away for me. The US state with the highest life expectancy is Hawaii.

  2078.  @Elana803  Exactly. I've lived in Arizona in the US where people have taken land that was just thin grassland, build houses, dug wells, now the areas are green, have trees, this is Americans settling their own land.
    4
  2079. It generally is, if you can keep it through the periodic crashes the US economy goes through. Keep in mind that historically, a house has been a place to park your money that keeps up with the rate of inflation. It's not a damn gold mine. It's a forced savings plan that you get to live in.

  2088.  @cholesterol804  What people often do in the USA is hand off leftovers to some who is poor and begging (they are all over in the US) or they'll package them up nicely and leave them on top of, or near, a trash can so someone can pick them up.

  2089. What's bad is, that land looks excellent for gardening, or keeping chickens, etc but if you try to grow anything it will get stolen. I grew up in circumstances like this. The only solution was to eat things that were not considered desirable food that no one else would bother with.
    4
  2090.  @GirlWithAnOpinion  Yep it's a Southwest thing. I'm fairly certain it's the reason why Arizona has Tempe Lake now. That area was a constant dust storm and then they put that artificial lake in, there's much, much less dust and people sail on it etc it's pretty nice.

  2099. The Arabs are the colonizers read some history. Now that they have made their true nature more obvious, I think Israel will wise up and have far more Asians and far less Arabs working in Israel. Also people "making Aliyah" which means Jewish people living outside Israel, moving home to Israel, are doing so in near-record numbers now. You move home when your home needs you. I am working on this myself.

  2100. When I was little I lived in an area of Hawaii, "Hawaii Kai", that was build on "reclaimed" land by Henry J. Kaiser on swamps. It was already a wealthy area then, but I remember the DDT truck spraying along the street, it smelled like rotten eggs.

  2101. Just what people said in the US in 1940... "Oh, why do we want to escalate things with poor widdle Hitler?"
    4
  2102.  @ConvictedFelon2024  Socialism won WWII, the last war the US actually won. First, the Soviets did the bulk of the fighting. The US had to become much more Socialist to handle a catastrophe like a world war, and it did. There was rationing and commandeering of civilian factories to make war material, which is why you can find .45 ACP pistols made by the Singer sewing machine company, for example. If today's snowflakes had to live with the Socialism we lived under fairly happily during WWII they'd go out back and hang themselves.

  2103. Around January here in the SF Bay Area in California, there was this coughing thing, seems most people got it, and on the radio I was hearing about a "mysterious vaping disease" because young people were dying of some kind of pneumonia, thought to be caused by vaping. That coughing thing was bad, I was living on miso soup and ginseng tea for a bit there.
    4
  2104. Japan too. I'm in the US and frankly I'd love to see some German and Japanese bases here in the US. Let's set things up so we're truly allies, and not the one nation occupiers over other nations. Well, maybe not occupiers but still, .DE and .JP bases in the US would be cool.
    4
  2105. By the time of the Nuremberg rallies, Hitler 1.0 was in power and attendance was mandatory. Just like those huge gatherings Stalin held in the USSR. If you were told to go, you went, and dammit you looked enthusiastic or it's the gulag for you. If Dirty Don gets into power again, people will be ordered to attend his rallies and to look cheerful or it's a work/death camp.

  2111. I grew up in Hawaii and the Pearl City "Swap Meet" was the best thing ever. We didn't call them flea markets, we called them "swap meets". I'm not sure if the Pearl City one is still there, but there's one at the Aloha Stadium still.

  2120. I think I've got symptoms - had a lovely coughing fit a couple days ago, "stuff" rattling around a little in chest, productive cough/sniffle, not been taking my temperature, not sure why as I've got 2 thermometers so probably at least one working one, but there's ZERO testing for the non-wealthy/connected here in "Silicon Valley". At least it's not killing me so far just making me feel a bit lousy, symptoms as above plus feel really tired but I can slog through my work ... I'd really like to get tested so I could donate my plasma.

  2121. Maybe this is something like the old saying, "If you owe the bank $200, you have a problem, if you owe the bank $200 million and don't have it, the bank has a problem" it could be that Putin will only start learning now what so many have learned which is that (1) Trump is a black hole for money and (2) He's extremely unpredictable.

  2123. Probably the best thing for places like supermarkets is to have very good ventilation. Have an air extraction system so whatever droplets get past people's masks get sucked upward and ejected through vents in the roof.

  2126. Indeed. I've voted red and blue. The times I've voted red were when I was young and dumb. Honestly, I'd still vote red if the candidate was one I believed was best for the country. Not myself, but best for my country. But I'm hoping the Republican Party goes the way of the Whigs and we end up with the Democratic Party holding down the center-right end, and a new Progressive Party holding down the center-left end.

  2131. And Togo's and any Vietnamese banh mi shop.
    4
  2132. Talking about crime rates .... when they say the crime on reservations is higher than rural America in general that's really saying something because while everyone thinks the crime is in the cities in the US, the crime in the rural areas is extreme on a per-capita basis. I've lived in a rural area, and in a lot of ways it was like "rez" life - I lived on as little as $1500 a year, made $6 a day sometimes and generally didn't have any income for 7 months of the year, just hunkering down for winter. The crime around where I was, was crazy - shootings, home invasions, drugs, etc. So when they say the people living on reservations have it even worse, that's bad

  2134.  @babeudoo  It's not the virus, it's the US's handling of the virus. Hyper-individualism handles all things badly. Actual civilized countries have handled the virus well, have things like national health care, education that won't put you in debt for life, etc.

  2139. Psychopaths have existed all through history and in all cultures. It's just that our culture esteems them and healthy cultures tended to banish them, feed them to the sharks, bury them in the sand with just their head out of the sand at low tide, etc.

  2143. HAHAHA they used to call his idol and father-figure, Hitler, "Carpetfresser" which means "Carpet chewer" or "Carpet eater" because allegedly Hitler used to get into such fits of rage he'd roll on the floor and chew on the carpet. I can more easily imagine the Dump doing this.

  2144.  @tbishop4961  Yes, there are. But probably not nearly as crazy as in the US. And I believe in Israel they really do get homeless into housing.

  2145. How far back? 1850? 1750? Back to when they burned "witches"?

  2146. Only attendance will be mandatory. I lived in a small Red town for a bit. If there was a high school football game going on, you were. not. allowed. to travel anywhere on the road but to the game. If you didn't want to go to a combination football game and hate rally, you stayed in.

  2152. I've done a bit of international travel and ... in my experience most Americans don't bother to learn anything about the language or country, and if you at least make a little effort, to learn about the country, a bit of the language, and don't act like you're disappointed that X country isn't just like I dunno, Iowa or wherever you're from in the US, the locals are appreciative.

  2153. I tried being on SNAP after the 08 crash, and there was so much "churning" where they put me on, kicked me off, put me on, kicked me off.... etc plus weird meetings plus the continual threat of having to pay it all back if they come up with some strange reason .... this was in California. Since I'm single and not disabled, I found it a lot easier to do odd jobs, etc.

    4
  2156. With so much of the money being funneled up to the 1% and especially the .1%, it's just sloshing around looking for a place to go. Hence all the speculation we see. Meanwhile those of us in the real world, making less than $20k a year (and I live in Silicon Valley) are trying to decouple from the economy as much as possible. No car, no credit cards, no debt (I got good and decoupled by the crash of 08 and have stayed that way) and do everything possible with cash.

  2157. I've recently learned you can take your refund from the IRS in I-Bonds which pay 9% so there's that. It's worth looking into.

  2158. Still no testing for the non-wealthy in "Silicon Valley" I could, and I think the statisticians would, benefit from my getting an antibody test since I think I may have had it and am pretty much recovered, but, well, I am not wealthy so I'll never know.

  2162. $50k in the 1950s was huuuuge money for a house. As an example, my father bought a house on Portlock Road on the island of Oahu in Hawaii in the late 60s and it was $40k. It had 5 bedrooms, 3 baths, front back and side yards, family room, living room, dining room, and Portlock Road was "Millionaire's Row" back then. $10k more, 1-2 decades earlier would really be something.

  2166.  @rosalindarcher6060  The crash of 2008 taught me that - that if you don't go out, you don't spend money, so if you don't have money, don't go out. Most of us never recovered from the crash, and I think a lot of us have been living under a fair amount of social isolation.

  2176. Send 'em back. You don't see us flooding into Syria taking over do you? I think the US should take all its homeless especially vets, tell them they can "have" Syria. Give them supplies and food etc and ship 'em in by the millions, and especially give them lots of guns and ammo, it will be the Wild West only it will be Wild Syria, how will you like that? You'd better pray we don't get the idea.

BTW most snipers are not religious nuts but it takes some justification, Carlos Hathcock called the VC "hamburgers" or "hotdogs" and all their first names were "homer", and he figured that every one of them he 10X'd allowed one American kid to go home to his family.

  2187. They give out opiates like candy now. I got a root canal years ago, got given no painkillers at all - man that thing started to hurt once the lidocaine wore off, instead of riding my bike home I called my buddy who came and got me, we stopped at the drug store (lol!) and got a bottle of E&J brandy and that was my painkiller. Somewhere around the same time I got in an accident and was kept in the hospital, had a hairline fracture in my pelvis, got Tylenol with codeine. That doesn't cut pain so much as, makes you not care. I didn't even notice when I ran out of pills in a week, so it was not addictive. Fast forward to about 5 years ago, I was doing my "internship" for EMT school which means hang out in a hospital's ER for a shift. Yep, they were handing out Vicodin for things similar to what I got nothing for or a very very mild painkiller. Handing that stuff out like M&Ms. So you get your pills cheap to free (for Medicare or Medicaid) then when it runs out, it's hard to get more but no problem, your friendly neighborhood dealer's got black tar heroin for cheap. If I have to have some kind of painful operation and need a painkiller I'm just gonna drink. I know how to get off of that.

  2189. I live in Silicon Valley and of course we have thousands upon thousands of homeless people here, big homeless encampments, etc. Many of them collect scrap metal and they build trailers, mainly taking an old bike trailer and adding parts to make it hold more, I call them "Mad Max" trailers (and bikes) because they look like what people would have in a Mad Max society. I'd not give plasma, because as mentioned, you lose strength and you have to be able to run, carry heavy stuff, win a fight or at least put some serious hurt on your opponant(s) etc. But any kind of handicraft, any kind of nice you can find for yourself. Gardening/weeding is one. Washing cars or washing windows will get you pay and also the nickname "Buckets" lol. Anything you can do. Shoe-shining and cleaning is another idea. But there are decreasing jobs even for the housed. This is a classic symptom of capitalism, that Karl Marx described even in the 1840s, from his analysis and observations of early capitalism in the industrial revolution in England and Europe.

  2192.  @cryptbeast3222  In the US they can just nab you off the street and stuff you into a place like Riker's where you'll stay for years before trial. There was a famous case not long ago of an underage kid being kept in Riker's for 2 years before I believe he killed himself. He was nabbed for stealing his own backpack, and what's more, doing so while black. Doing anything while black is risky in the US so why this kid stole a backpack that was in fact his own backpack, and what's more while black, what was he thinking?

I was in a rural area here in California and I put a deck of sorts in front of the shitty old trailer I was living in. There were too few people around to worry about privacy, so I'd take hot showers right there on my deck. But yeah water is rain catchment or you truck it in.

  2202. The bit about throwing is interesting. Our near, pre-human ancestors like Homo habilis, erectus, etc., may have been master throwers. Human evolution is often traced through human-made tools like chipped spear heads, hand-axe heads, etc. But we could have gone a far way just being good at throwing. Since we're really good at persistence hunting and working as a group, our ancestor could have been really effective hunters early on. (I think it's been determined that to a great extent humans were often scavengers or prey-stealers. Say lions make a kill, the humans let the lions eat a bit so they're satisfied, then close in with lots of rocks to throw and persuade the lions to clear off.

  2203. I followed up on this and found a recipe from H-Mart, they apparently sell acorn flour and they have a recipe where you can make your own. I think seasonally they have it all prepared too because I've seen stuff by the checkout that looked like it. At times they have seasonal stuff and at the time I just thought it was tan colored mochi (which is made of rice flour) but I think it's acorn "muk". BTW what you say about the taste reminds me of how people thiink of poi, which is made from taro, where I grew up. I like it and it has a nice flavor but most Americans do not feel that way about it lol!

Also, if you're getting your "vites" and time in the sun, and not overweight, diabetic, etc., that's a huge help plus if you're not following the standard American sugar and starch based diet, you've got a huge advantage.

Was it SARS? I don't know, Hawaii is part of the USA so of course I had no access to health care to get a test. But maybe I survived SARS lol.

And 30 years ago I was living in Orange County and there was indeed a kerfuffle in the news because there were pet ducks that kids would get as ducklings for Easter were being released into the parks like Mile Square Park. Well, some Vietnamese people, probably the old folks who'd gone through horrific starvation etc., had taken some ducks. So it was looked into and the ducks were determined to be feral, not protected migratory birds, so the ducks were essentially like pigeons or rats, not illegal to take.

In the US the minimum is done for the kids, their food never matters more than cigarettes etc for the parents, kids are constantly told by their parents that they can't wait until they're 18 and they'll be handed a suitcase with their clothes and told to get out... once you're 18 in the US you are really all on your own, to survive, or not. I have relatives for whom paying for my college would have been like a bar tip but not a penny for me, I had to borrow a lot of money and in the end didn't finish college and worked as a tech and paid the money back. US/Western culture just sucks out loud because of the pernicious individualism, dog-eat-dog etc and this is why the future is Asian.

"Got my money mugging people in the casino parking lot" is just a lot more suspicious than "got my money from my small nail salon" - a friend of mine when I lived in Sunnyvale California told me this. Why do you think there are so many of these little hair and nail shops around here, he asked. Do that many people need their hair and nails done? Of course the answer is also that the hair and nail shops are fronts for prostitution, but that's a story for another day.

Lacking access to the hospital, as is the case with the non-wealthy in the US (or, you have access but you wait 9 or 12 or 24 or ?? hours to actually see the doctor) if I can't get to the ER I might try taking in something like some "body" to it like a lot of Metamucil and then a good big glass of warm salty water - which will cause the whole mess, earbud and all, to be ralphed up or at least that's the idea. The idea of the Metamucil or something like that being to carry the earbud along with it.

The one "American" store I go to here is Whole Foods and they have actual armed police officers + guards. And even then I've seen some crazy things happen. The problem is American culture. It's hyper-individualistic and selfish. So people don't vote for things that improve society. We have huge numbers of homeless, mentally, ill, drug-addicted desperate people.

  2285. If it's going to rhyme with 2008, we need to have a year of "slow sag" which started say, a couple of months ago. So, into 2023, then there will be a short rally and then the freefall will begin. This is how it went last time. 2006 saw a lot of home owners losing about $50k a year in value, selling before it fell more. It was just a slow sag. Then in early 2007, around February, there was a slight uptick in the economy, probably due to people getting tax refunds esp. homeowners who hired clever accountants and took write-offs due to their decreased wealth. That only lasted a month or two, then it was "game on" for the deep plunge. That was mid-2007 on. Everyone calls it the 2008 crash and that's when the greatest stock market losses were, I guess, I don't mess with a money-loss machine like the stock market. So if we're doing it again, my forecast calls for things to be shitty right into 2024. It would be analogous to 2009. Of course something could disrupt things too. Civil war. Nuclear war if Pewtin decides he's gonna die of cancer anyway so why not? Or Russia does a civil war of its own as one of Pewtin's underlings gets the drop on him and removes him and Russia has a power struggle. Same as here in the US; it's looking like we're going to reap the rewards of not grinding the South into fine enough dust the first time around. We should have put General Sherman in charge of the whole thing.

  2290. I'd rather guy a Chevy Volt or Ford's counterpart than anything from the muskrat. The reason is, not only 1/2 the price and I can put my own cheapo LCD TV in, but I can hack a Ford or a Chevy and there will be a whole community of hackers and wrenchers repairing and improving those, while Musky will shit his emerald-encrusted underpants if someone dares to work on their own Tesla. But, in reality, I think what we're seeing is the last days of Joe Blow Ordinary being able to own a car. They're just too damned expensive. There are no more $500 used cars you can work on yourself. And the day-to-day expenses like gas and tires and insurance and registration and repairs are too much for the ordinary person now. It's almost like 100+ years ago when anyone who wanted one could have a horse, because if nothing else you went out and caught a mustang, and things got city-fied and that became no longer the case. This is one of the reasons I love watching videos of everyday life in Japan. There are far, far less cars. People use the train or bus, or bicycle, or just plain walk. It makes for a much more pleasant life.

  2298.  @paulmatters2641  Hedges was a reporter in Yugoslavia (where he met cartoonist Joe Sacco; a great book called Safe Area Gorezhade came out of this) and his book "War Is A Force Which Gives Us Meaning" came out of it too. If Hedges was for NATO bombing, there has to be a good reason. But if you don't trust Hedges, look up the writer "Selco" who was a Yugoslav right in the middle of it. He says NATO bombing was a good thing too.

"Prison Industries" used to have a HUGE paper catalog, it's all online now, but tons of stuff from military uniforms to artisan goat cheese are made by prisoners in the US, who are legally slaves. We still have chain gangs, basically all that stuff you've seen in movies, is in movies because it's real. It's the same reason US movies show people using red Solo cups at parties - it's because we really do. US movies show lots of prison stuff and it's really not exaggerated much.

  2308. Ynet is not "fringe" either, they've been around for years and are fairly mainstream. I wish people would read up on the history. Iranis voted in Mossadegh who was a good guy, a JFK or FDR for Iran. But he wanted Irani oil to benefit Iranis, and the US didn't like that, so we deposed him and installed the Shah, a sort of Nixon w/o the grace or style. The Iranis got good and tired of him, for good reason and because you can't de-install a baddie without revolution, they ended up with, in the chaos, Khomeini. If it weren't for the US, Israel would have been a peaceful country for many decades and probably in a partnership with Israel to enlighten and educate the whole Middle East.

  2309.  @tryomama  Once you're really down-and-out, and in the US it's really easy to end up homeless, you kind of see how easy it is to lose it all, so you care less, but also you find out that there are resources as long as you are physically fit you can learn the food sources, good dumpsters etc for food, good places to beg, which water spigots you can get water from etc., and live pretty well. If you are not physically it, you're in a world of hurt though. If you can't walk or bike several miles a day, that's where you'll end up on a downward spiral and become one of the "statistics" that die of malnutrition, cold, sickness, etc.

  2320. I had a 401k decades ago with a tech company I worked for, and when I left the company I was so disgusted I told 'em to cash it out and write me a check. I got about $6k. This was the late 80s. I was talking about it recently with a friend, and he said I ought to check and see what it would have been worth now, thinking I may have screwed myself out of a million dollars or something. I looked it up, and now, in 2022, it would be worth .... about $6k. I have no idea how 401k's work and I don't want to know - I don't trust 'em at all, just like I don't trust this "cryptocurrency" scam going on now. Going back I'd have taken that money and put it into something like Vanguard, Franklin Funds, or maybe even been able to buy a share of Berkshire Hathaway. Or I'd have been far, far ahead just buying silver coins and keeping 'em under my bed. When a fund is $6k in 1989 and then in 2022 it's still $6k, someone's making money and it's not you.

  2323. The key to understanding the US is with regard to race, we're living in 1865 here. Every long-discredited "racial" theory lives a full life here. It's even codified into our laws, so that your race (as well as your class of course) determines how much you'll make, if you'll get a college degree and what it will be in, where you live, how you live, what you eat, hell it even determines what version of "Happy Birthday" we sing. Our racial ideas didn't come from the Nazis, they predated them by 100s of years and the Nazis got a lot of their racial ideas from us.

Plus, the working-class black and white alike tend to follow a diet heavy in sugars and starches, which is inflammatory (see Jason Fung's lectures on this).

  2349. This is certainly going on in the US. I listen to National Public Radio and their latest pledge drive didn't go well. They didn't make their minimum and are extending their asking for money period. It feels like it's 2008 again. Everyone's supposed to go out and spend money in restaurants but cooking at home is so much cheaper and better, so I'm doing that and tons of others are all. And the car ads! I'm really not doing my part by not owning a car. To live in the US is to get bombarded by ads for cars, geez half the price of a car must be the advertising cost. So, China has Westernized and has decided to be joined at the hip with the Western economy, they're going to have a hard time too.

Working-age whites in the workforce are something like 2% or so. It is not fun.

  2356. What's funny is, before covid I got into watching all these videos about the 1918 flu, and one of the interesting things is, people who got the horse flu in this 1972 epidemic, seemed to not get the 1918 flue. And I find this interesting because, in 1969 or so I got a very bad flu, my mother and I both. I don't remember much, except I think my father took the other kids and they stayed in a hotel and at one point I guess a neighbor got worried about us and made us soup - the soup had celery in it which I'd always known as a vegetable to be eaten raw, not cooked, and that was probably the most traumatic thing, to me. And I've managed to not get covid, despite being out and around people, or if I got covid it was not symptomatic. I wear a mask and everything, I'm not a dummy, but it seems that sometimes a flu you had many decades ago can help protect you.

I used to go on and on about that, I don't know why. It was a real fixation with me. And Lo and behold... there came 2016.... I remember that horrible night when the election results were coming in, I was downtown in a sort of food court with a bar where a lot of international travelers came and I was there for hours, sipping a beer and watching the results on the TV. It was a horrible feeling, as people, fellow Americans and international visitors alike, talked with me. I felt such deep horror and embarrassment. There were no pro-Fascists there in that place that night. I stopped on my way home at another restaurant/bar where I figured the pro-Fascists would be and they were, and very happy too.

Also a car is a huge expense and it's better to get rid of it if possible. The thing is, though, that she wants her daughter to have a better life, not just survive. So putting her daughter into singing and dance school is a very good idea. So maybe if it were me, keep the car but get a smaller place to live in and keep those lessons up.

  2405. It was hard as hell for me to vote in 2020 and I'm in a major city in California. I never got my mail-in ballot, and eventually I looked online and found my walk-in polling place (near my boss's house because that's my legal address, 2 smaller cities over) and I spent hours and hours on the bus getting there and back. I was able to fill in a "provisional" ballot which would only be counted if there were any races that were super close. Such is voting in the USA. What's funny is I had to take a few buses I was not familiar with and it was immigrants who helped me figure out which ones to take. This is in a prosperous area, the so-called "Silicon Valley" In many places, you have to stand in line for hours and it's actually been made illegal for people to give food or drink, or provide toilets, to those in line. So get some Depends (adult diapers) and pack a bottle of water and a few protein bars, I guess. But my all means vote! Because if we end up under the Nazis 2.0 being "Aryan" or something isn't going to save you. There will be purity tests, both physical and political. Under the Nazis 1.0, some of the first people to go into prison camps were Germans.

  2427. Watch the lectures by Dr. Jason Fung on obesity and type II diabetes and how they come about .... basically the modern diet has tons of sugars and carbohydrates, and really a healthy diet has very little of those. A healthy diet is what I call "meat and leaves" of course you'll want to eat more than mere meat and leaves, but also eggs, nuts, fish, in my case seaweed (I like seaweed) and so on. Just keep daily carbs at 50g or less a day and you'll be fine. Lose weight at the rate of 1 lb a week and in a year you'll have lost 52 lbs and you'll keep it off. I lost 40 lbs very slowly over about 8 months, and it was painless and I've kept it off.

  2470. The US is by far the biggest danger to the world, and China is far, far down the list. It comes down to a huge difference in cultures. The US is a war-based economy and has a war-based, short-term-thinking culture. China treasures stability and peace and thinks long-term, again because of their culture. It's kind of like walking into a bar and at one table is sitting a peaceful guy who looks like a librarian and is reading a book, with a glass of white wine on the table, and at another table is a rough, tattooed guy with a knife on his hip, brass knuckles on the table, is talking to himself and twitching and tossing down Jaeger bombs. Which one would you worry more about? The 2nd one, the barbarian one, is the US.

Well, firstly it smells like burning tires when it cooks and it makes your kitchen smell like burning tires. For a couple of days. As for taste, imagine a "My Pillow' that's been left under an old car that leaks oil. Foul, just foul. What's funny is, there are "meat alternatives" that have been in the world for 100s of years at least, like falafel, tofu, seitan, tempeh, and so on. Even good old 1970s/80s bean burgers like Boca Burger and Gardenburger are at least not horrible and actually fairly good. I'm a low-carb or "keto" eater and the modern "keto" products that are out are very reliably horrible and are to be avoided.

  2479. Where I am, in SF Bay Area, California, almost all homeless are black or white. No Hispanics or Asians because Hispanics and Asians care about each other and family means something. But there is one Asian homeless guy who is kind of crazy and one times I chased him away from the front of the local Japanese market because he was getting in people's faces about asking for change. But more recently, I gave him some money and I think we're friends now. I hope he is OK. I want to teach him a skill like playing music because he can make some money that way. I hope I see him again soon. I recently spent like $100 on a ukulele and if he can use it I'll give it to him and teach him to play it ... I can buy another. I am poor but I spend like ... 2/3 of poor.

  2500. No, this is not happening. Even legal immigrants are not getting this, and have to not only have a sponsor who accepts responsibility for them for X number of years, but if they get into any kind of legal trouble they're outta here. The only immigrants I can think of who got some money were some Vietnamese and Cambodian immigrants I used to work with, and they got I dunno, $20k or so, which isn't that much. They had to learn English (Viet people tended to know French) and they all worked shitty jobs like picking strawberries to start out. What they did do, was team up not just in families but even cooperating in larger groups, and a guy might share a bedroom with another guy until he was married even if he was in his 40s. After he got married, he might share the room with his wife. White people have not lived like this and cooperated like this for well over 100 years in the US - the last time whites worked together this way was the late 1800s.

I grew up in Hawaii which is practically part of Asia so I think this way also. But Americans don't think like this - there is no family, everyone is on their own. So why not take drugs? It will not be a shame to anyone because no one here in the US cares about that.

  2539.  Garry G  The Republican Party is essentially broken now. Or at least unveiled. Now it's pretty clear what they stand for, and I've forecast that they'll wither away, perhaps hanging on as a small fringe party like the LaRouche party whatever that was called. The Democrats will be the right side of the mainstream two parties, and a new Progressive party will come about. Were the old-time Whigs pro-slavery etc.? The Whigs are now just a funny name from history.

  2551. I lived in an area almost this poor after we'd completed our slide into deep poverty and I've got to say, as long as you've got enough to eat, it's not bad. There's a feeling of safety because everyone knows each other, and stability because nothing ever changes. Getting enough to eat can be a challenge, but once you've got a solid fishing/hunting and foraging game, even that's not a big worry. And it's fun being able to do whatever the hell you want, ride bikes built from parts you found, with no brakes, shoot BB guns, go around dirty and build tree houses and raise hell in general.

  2574. We're repeating Germany 1925-1945. Hitler was a weirdo, vegetarian for some reason, relentless farter, had to have a doctor attend to his intestinal issues constantly because it was bad. Never married. No one, after all the obsession everyone has with him, has ever uncovered a single instance of a normal sex act from ol' Adolf. He was called "carpet chewer" or "carpet eater" (carpet fresser) because he would go into rages so intense he'd roll around on the floor and legend had it, chew the carpet. And this was considered a suitable leader for Germany by millions of Germans...

  2575. And hilariously, a short while after posting this, the power went out because of course it did. Silicon Valley is very different than the image of it people have. I'm just south of Brokaw Road, and North of Brokaw Road is what I call "Dilbertville" where it's shiny tech companies and "lawns at neat as Lego pads" to quote Douglas Coupland. South of Brokaw, the biggest innovation I've seen here is putting a bar right next to a metal recycling place so the homeless who bring their stolen shopping carts full of stolen ladder parts to cash in, can drink the money right away.

  2576. We've had millions of people in the US suddenly lose their jobs. We have almost no social safety net. Plus the people already out on the street can't panhandle, can't dumpster dive, there's going to be a lot of hunger and desperation in the USA.

  2581. Like we don't have a social credit system in the US? Where I am, I'm registered in the favored political party, if I lived in another part of the US I might have to change parties to not be under a black cloud. I have zero criminal record, but what if I were the kind of person who "acted out"? I'd have that against me. There's a literal credit score in the US and mine is probably abysmal because I gave up on credit after losing everything in the crash of 2008. Also there is no social mobility in the US so life is not a matter of doing better, it's just trying to not fall down further. This is why I don't care about my credit score because I'll never be able to buy a house. There's also social credit in terms of race/appearance in the US. Being white-passing where I am, I come out ahead on this, but if I were darker my life would be a lot different. And it's more than 1 camera per 7 people in the US for sure.

  2589. The Germans were not able to deport about 2% of their people and ended up putting them into work camps and death camps because even if they could deport them, no one was willing to take in that many people. Plus, Germany was in the process of declaring war on most of the world (Trump's starting this process with his threats against Canada and Denmark and that's just the beginning) so the US being a much larger country and Dirty Diaper Don looking at deporting 4% rather than 2%, plus the US's immense hunger for prisoner labor, means that yes, we will have work camps and death camps.

The recent adulation of Colin Powell, a war criminal whose career highlights were trying to cover up the My Lai massacre and lying to get the US into the Iraq war, was disgusting. They're basically the Democrat Party, center-right, radio/TV service. The republicans being far-right of course. If you want actual Left media you need to go to other sources online, or a few radio stations like the Pacifica Network.

  2603. I'm in Silicon Valley and the collapse is very obvious here. Our largest employer? Safeway, a supermarket chain distinguished by being the most "ghetto" supermarket ever, with shoplifting, shitty service, high prices, and a hobo camp in every doorway. 90% of the people here are poor fuckers and 30% are homeless although most of us hide it well. We have a tiny, thin, upper crust of people making big money in "tech" jobs which depend more on who you're related to and know than your actual abilities. And better make that money before you're 40, because once you're 40, better hope you have the eyesight to be bus driver.

  2604. There are tons of cane toads for a while in Hawaii too - we call them "Bufos" - anyway some disease or something came through and cut the numbers way down. And, the poison is on their skin, especially around their neck. No reason their legs would be poisonous.

  2605. Hahah and here as someone who knows some Hebrew words (I have so far to go) I thought Cory'd become really good at speaking Hebrew. At least the general sound of his speaking, he sounds much smoother, less hesitating than in his early videos. Funny thing about male/female forms, I grew up and was a young adult in Hawaii where we have lots of Filipino people and they're always, always mixing up male and female. Plus they generally exchange F and P, which leads to some funny local humor. They are such nice people and so well-meaning that the humor is not mean.

  2622. Holy shit no kidding!!! I'm 60, and with the money I've spent on cars, I could have quite a nice place on the Big Island of Hawaii or any of a number of places. Owning and supporting a car is like supporting another person who doesn't work and who has to go out for steak dinner every night. It's nuts! I come from a family of 5 kids. It was the norm in the 1960s for families to have 3-7 kids. One huge reason, I believe, is there was one car. Dad's car. Mom walked, we kids walked, classical suburban neighborhoods were walkable with everything within a 15-minute walk because it was assumed every family would have one car. My family would not be possible now. Dad would "need" a car, Mom would "need" a car, my oldest sis would "need" a car as soon as she was 16, etc. My boss's family is like this. Boss's truck + "the" Toyota Corolla. Wife's SUV. Son's car (high interest loan) and there was the daughters car also until the moved away. It's not "the" car, it's a damn fleet!

  2624. If this tinpot wanna-be dictator gets a 2nd term, be prepared for the "greater recession" to begin. Comparisons to Hitler are getting tired by now, but keep in mind, H's first few years were pretty good for the average German. Little did they know his master plan was to send his country into an unwinnable war and end up with the country in a shambles. Given a 2nd term, I'd expect Dumbass to start a war with Iran, which would bring in Russia and perhaps China; at least China playing a passive-aggressive role by upping trade restrictions, and the US would get what it's headed for anyway, the "South Africa" treatment. The civilized world gradually walls the US off.

  2639. My first TMBG song was "Experimental Film" which I found because I had this idea I'd get a movie camera and interview weird people, sort of like a warped Huell Howser so I was looking at how to do this. And well, it turns out that unless you're rich you can't do things like that - I can't afford the bandwidth to upload to here at all. But "Experimental Film" got me into TMBG and also into the Homestar Runner universe.

  2658. For a few decades after WWII a normal American citizen could expect, if they weren't a total fuckup, to do better in life as time went by. That stopped in about 1975, and the only realistic thing to expect now is that unless you are very lucky, very soul-less and ruthless, etc., you will do progressively worse no matter how hard you work or how smart you are. For all but a tiny fraction of 1%, social mobility in the US is downward.

  2668. In the free healthcare, anyone in the US can get free healthcare, it's called Medicaid, and there are free clinics and things. Due to poor life decisions like studying electronics, I have a very low income so I have Medi-Cal which is California's version of Medicaid. There are also organizations, churches, etc., plus if it's a situation that calls for going to the ER you just go and they kind of have to fix you up, then worry about payment later. So the immigrants aren't getting some special deal with regard to health care.

  2674. Read some history. About 900,000 Jews from all over the greater area were ejected from the countries they were in, often having to leave with just the clothes on their backs. Am I talking about Germany and Europe, 1940-45? No, I am talking about the greater Middle East, 1948-50 or so. Meanwhile almost all "Palestinians" (a British term for Jews living in the British Mandate, originally) had come in from Jordan and Egypt and so on because the British had developed what was to become Israel enough that there were things like clean water and paying jobs. Freeloaders on the British, in other words, who are now freeloaders on Israel.

  2690. We (the US) are just in the very beginning of playing 2nd fiddle to China. And to Asia in general. It's a matter of culture, 1000s of years of history on the part of Asia and barely 1000 of even having literacy in most of Europe. There are basic culture assumptions that are very deep and are unquestioned and unquestionable. China/Asia has Confucianism, the West has hyper-individualism. It should be painfully obvious by now which is better suited for humans living in a world in modern times. Hint: China's lifting millions out of poverty while the West is casting millions into poverty and eating itself.

  2700. I'm in "Silicon Valley" and at times we've had air you can see due to fires, or just general pollution. I had a business next to where I work cutting marble etc with no dust control at all, and I got pneumonia, and I decided it was them or me. Either I'd get them shut down, or I'd quit and go be homeless back in Hawaii where I grew up, but at least being homeless in Hawaii I'd not die of silicosis. Well, I kept tons of different inspectors hopping with my complaints about the place next door and got eventually got them shut down. So I'm still here. But "Silicon Valley" for most of the population is a very poor place, and who cares if you can cut the air with a knife you still have to go out and work in it.

  2722. Welcome to the Homeless-Industrial Complex(tm). How it works: You rent or better yet, get basically given a building, then you hustle your city to give "the homeless" a service center. You collect $50k or more per head. You actually give your cash cows, "the homeless", maybe $500 a year worth of services, basically a few loads of laundry, some donated socks, a few showers. You pocket the rest. Now remember "the homeless" are your cash cows so, the more of them, the more cash for you! It's very profitable and all the cool kids are doing it these days.

  2727. It's always so one-sided. The Jews in the greater Middle East were pogrom'd out of areas they'd lived in for centuries, often leaving with just the shirts on their backs, leaving behind farms and businesses, often having to travel to the newly-born Israel on foot. What about them?? I see it as a population exchange, and suggest the Arabs take care of their fellow Arabs, like they say they do.

  2738. The "Organization of Non-Aryan Christians" was not an organization for the rights of Jews. It was obviously an organization devoted to those who were "part Jewish" under German law, to try to get themselves classified even if informally, as some kind of honorary Aryans. A parallel in the US might be those who are have only a little bit of African ancestry, to form an organization to be classified as white. Of course in the US that would never fly because in the US we follow the "one drop rule" where if you are the slightest bit "Black" you might as well be 100% Black there are no exceptions.

There is NO money in tech except for a thin upper crust of superstars and even for them, they're dog food once they hit age 40. Tech is the biggest shit sandwich ever. Get. Used. To. Being. Unemployed. I used to gross $70k a year, after the crash of 08 made as little as $1500 one year, I seem to have settled in at an income of $17k a year and that's as good as it's going to get. All my glorious tech skill was enough that I'll get the minimum or near it, of Social Security. If I hadn't grown up a starving and cunning 1970s kid I'd have some real despair about my life from here on out, but to me, less work means more time to scavenge and find stuff. Plus I'll have time to fish again.

Here in "Silicon Valley", people a quarter-million in debt for their tech degrees are working as coffee jerks or stocking shelves. And the big problem is, I'm a young Boomer who started college a bit late, but still, my loans were very low-interest. Now, the interest rates on student loans are 2X-3X as high. So if you make the minimum payments you'll never pay them off. On my loans, the min. payments were according to a schedule to have them paid off in 10 years and due to a lucky windfall I paid them off in 5. Young people these days are screwed!

  2777. My own temple is Reform, and it cracks me up that decades ago or even further back, Reform temples has organs. These days it's guitars, always a dang guitar. Now, the thing is that with guitars, strings can break or it can go out of tune. That would require repair/adjustment. That's the problem and let it be known that the fact that I'm sick and tired of guitars has nothing to do with this. Anyway, as a brass player myself (trumpet) I know that the chance of a trumpet breaking while being played is pretty much zero and they don't go out of tune. Thus, in the Reform temple our instruments should be a brass band. Q.E. freakin' D.

Chinese people were part of the Old West, there were Chinese cooks, Chinese workers, Chinese workers building the railroads (along with Irish and I guess anyone else who felt like having a go). The Chinese started the California citrus industry. The West is known for "Chinatowns" a few of which have survived, but for instance, my own city, San Jose California, had Chinatowns before it had Japantowns, and the Japantowns here started around the year 1900 or a bit earlier. So a fascination with the "American Old West" in Asia and especially China isn't as random as you'd think.

  2820. I'm white and grew up in Hawaii, and lived there until my mid-20s. So, pretty much a magnet for racism. And i never got told this; the worst was some crazy lady getting in my face and calling me Hitler and stuff,

  2821. That lady does not look age 44. She looks like someone aged 30 in the USA (USA has lower life expectancy, little access to health care, and most live on unhealthy diets).

  2822. If they know you have a suitcase of valuables, you will tragically go out hiking one day and be found fallen into a lava tube if you're found at all. Poor guy, fell down a lava tube, headfirst! And said suitcase will buy one of the braddahs a new truck! Cheehooo!

  2823.  @MosesMatsepane  There might be 200 full time monks and apprentices at that monastery which is out in the sticks somewhere, if each one makes min. wage 1/2 time, and keep in mind that steel building's about as cheap a building as you can put up, they can live OK.

  2824. In WWI, Germans who happened to be Jewish served with distinction for Germany, and overall Jews were integrating well into German society. Being Jewish was becoming a non-issue in Germany. Come the 1930s and the Nazis decided to single out Jews (and LGBT people) digging up old religious / Dark Ages tropes about them. It's the same playbook and there can't be anyone left any more who doesn't know that Trump keeps books of Hitler's speeches by his bedside.

  2835. My solution for N. Korea would be to give them Most Favored Nation trade status, start sending them tons of grain (which we have a huge surplus of right now) and get super chummy. Blockades are what kept the Castros in power in Cuba for so long, what kept Quadaffi in power so long, etc.

  2836. How about spending a life like she had to? How about being in danger of being killed any time, of your family along with you tortured and killed, as is the reality in S. African now?
    2
  2837. Citing South Africa is not a good look. South African blacks are making no secret of their plans to kill off anyone who's not black.

  2840. It's gotten cheaper, it was 29c last week...
    2
  2841. Yeah, bet it was inspired by those old 1930s Twinkies. There's also a lot of notalgia in Japan for the "bad/hard old days" and these would be a reminder. I can take or leave Twinkies, but some good senbei hits me right in the feels.

  2847. "Jordan controlling the east..." Yep there are no such things as "palestinians", a term used by Jews for themselves pre-independence. Present-day people who call themselves that are Jordanians. I'd happily contribute to help Jews buy up "palestinian"-owned land. It's looking like I'll never own land myself, maybe this will change, but I'd happily contribute to this cause.

  2850. I've heard of this being called "slugging". You, the "slug" gets a ride, and the driver gets to use the carpool route. In S. California I've heard about "slugs" being paid - some people just riding back and forth all day, getting paid by drivers who are willing to part with $10 or so to use the carpool lane. I doubt it's paid up here in the bay area, though, and it may not be paid anywhere, really, because the economy's so bad now.

  2851. Very very nice little film. I take it you have a fair number of Americans there, because who else eats breakfast cereals? Very very nice touching on history. Indeed, kibbutzim, or as we Americans would say it, Kibbutz'es, are mostly agricultural but some do manufacturing and I think some are very high-tech. So if you want to join one you don't have to be a farmer. I guess the closest thing in American English would be to call it a commune or a co-op. It looks like "basic" living but in the US we have millions who are living in the street, homeless, I notice Israel doesn't have that problem to even 10% the severity of the US. Kibbutzim will also range from lots of English spoken to Holy Crap why did I sleep through Ulpan (hebrew school) I think. "There's always a place for you on the kibbutz".

  2852. That hair ... you just want to pet it.

  2853. Not only that, I doubt anyone ever ate 14 lbs of a potatoes a day. Overall potato consumption may have been that much per capita, what with spoilage, feed for livestock, some being used to make potato vodka, etc.

  2858. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the assumption that pro golfers all shower together. I just don't think they do. It's not a sweaty sport, and don't they all have their own suites with showers? And even if they did all shower together, where was Donnie? Hiding behind a locker to look at all the peens? I can see Donnie getting into a football locker room after a game, but he's not the level of golfer to get into a pro golf locker room if there even is such a thing.

  2859. Considering how batshit insane some of us Yanks are, I'm willing to bet it is a Christian company. American Christianity is a crazy thing all its own.

  2865. I love Whole Foods and Amazon, but my spending has gone down. There are some things, not all but a good number, I can do better on at Walmart. And I'm getting less silly about buying music books, which I used to buy too many of. Frankly I'm on the two-year glide path to when I'll be 62 (earliest I can get social security so I'll have that safety net) and can move back where I grew up - Hawaii - where it's a lot cheaper and I can get by with a lot less stuff. No need for winter clothes there!
    2
  2866. I just don't get why anyone capable of getting a law degree would work for the Orange Idiot. They're not going to get paid, and working for him has all the cachet of defending Pol Pot.

  2867. Yep it's like that guy in the follow-up to the movie Roger & Me where the debt collectors and other such scum loved the misery around them.
    2
  2868. Now you know why it's called crapitalism
    2
  2869. My "home" Whole Foods is on The Alameda in San Jose California. A short walk from the SAP Center where the San Jose Sharks hockey team is headquartered. The W.F. has a brewery on site. It's a store they're very proud of. And I can tell they're having a hard time. Less employees, less busy, etc.

  2870. I remember seeing the original footage of Rodney King getting beaten. Video cameras were just starting to be a thing. I remember thinking, "Don't they just have a big net they can throw over a guy or something?"

  2872. Thor Heyerdahl was nuts. He postulated that white people traveled around the world, and yes, from S. America (they'd gone there from the Middle East) settling in places like Easter Island, creating a "superior" culture but then the bad brown people killed them off. His books actually have the Easter Islanders having a huge race war with the "better" whiter ones losing. He had similar theories about pretty much everywhere else in the world - no way could brown people build things etc. He was basically a direct descendant of the 1930s Nazis, an American example being Charles Lindbergh. But Heyerdahl's books were taken seriously right up into the 1970s.

  2873. They'd have voted in Not Putin(tm) long ago except Puti's rivals keep committing suicide by 3 shots to the back of the head. They're ready for democracy. Not US style "democracy" but the Western European real stuff.

  2881. "Pure Russian culture will emerge" that will be hell for the average Russian. Fascist regimes first work on demonizing The Other, in the case of Russia, even Ukrainians, who are very closely related, are The Other. Then the regime will demonize Russians who don't hold the right beliefs. Then it will start cannibalizing itself, bumping off Fascist Russians who are not "pure" enough.
    2
  2882.  @jujupants2486  Exactly. Where I grew up - an island state of the US - whites except for a few rich ones, are at the bottom of the social order. I had to work very hard and get very lucky to leave there, which I did.

  2883. Seriously if you're going to do presents, give out Swiss Army Knives all around or something practical like that.

  2884. This reminds me of the movie Downfall I wonder if that was based in her career in the Fuehrerbunker?
    2
  2885. The so-called "Palestinians" need to go back to their home Arab countries. Israel should have smooth, easily defensible borders, "Gaza" and Judea - Samaria are parts of Israel and not the property or legal residence of foreign invaders / terrorists. I call my idea "Glatt Israel".

  2886. I kept flunking out of 2nd semester calculus, but if you give me a scale map of the territory and some screw-eyes and a piece of string, I can probably come up with a pretty good solution.

  2887. The weakness is inherent in capitalism.
    2
  2888. Most of us never recovered from 2008, and if, like me, you were a kid in the 70s, a very hungry and depressing time, you've always had it in the back of your mind that you might end up destitute and hungry again.

  2892. New Orleans has tons of not only empty houses that homeless can just move into, they might have to pay the local crack dealer a bit of rent, or become their client, but these empty houses are super common. There are also tons of places that are out of sight, in walkable distances from the French Quarter. There are tons of really poor people on section 8 and such programs, who pay something like $40 a month rent for their house too. It's amazing how homelessness can be "solved" by tons of cheap or free housing and plentiful hidden campsites.

  2893. If I have to sneeze and am around anyone, I'll pop down into a low squat like a reverse jack-in-the-box, and pull up my shirt collar and sneeze into my shirt. So, down low, plus contained by the shirt.

  2894. I just see a repeat of 2008 coming up. I see the same signs. Real estate climbing at a crazy rate, everyone and their dog getting into it, and the Ponzi just pumping up bigger and bigger until ... it can't any more.

  2895. She got the Real American Experience(tm).

  2907. "The Obama Years" AKA the years of the crash following the Republicans trashing the economy. That's why they hired in someone like Obama to clean up. Which he did, by the way.
    2
  2908. Antibiotics being less and less available to Americans due to less and less access to medical care in general, some basic rules for infected cuts etc. If there is pus, let it out! Squeeze it out, prick the area if needed, keep getting that pus out. Hot compresses are very good - the heat hurts the infection germs. Povidone-iodine, tincture of green soap, soap and water in general, are good for cleaning up cuts. Rubbing alcohol, and Bactine if you can afford it (we never could) are good for drying up an infection. If you can't fix up the infection in a few days, or you get a fever or a red line traveling from the wound site, go to the emergency room. At least for now, it's the one point of access for medical care in the US where they can't turn you away. You'll get a huge bill of course, but the first priority is not dying.

  2909. "Your computer may be emotionally disturbed - or it will be, when we're done with it!"

  2910. The drug cocktail he's on must be amazing. Republicans need to realize they're not voting for Trump, they've voting for Vance. Not the funny, bombastic, old uncle who's been on their TVs for decades, they're voting for Vance, a rich boy who wrote a book about being a poor buy and shitting on actual working-class people. A weirdo, weirder than Donnie could ever manage to be. Do you really want to vote for Vance?

  2911. Writing from "Silicon Valley" in the USA here. NO testing, vaccine, or $1200 check for that matter. If you're poor in the US you get nothing.

  2913. Trump is a "useful idiot" emphasis on "idiot".

  2914. The YouTuber "Life Where I'm From" has done an excellent 4-part series on homelessness in Japan and while it's bad, keep in mind that however raggedy this place looks, if it were American homeless there, they'd have burned everything to the ground.
    2
  2915. A lot of vets won't mention they're vets if it doesn't have anything to do with what's going on, if there's no "need to know". Also, a lot of vets know it's disrespectful to the uniform to wear random military patches and stuff.
    2
  2916.  @yasser7139  Because it's true. In fact, "Palestinians" used to refer to the Jews living in the British Mandate of Palestine. It's only in the 1960s that Arabs started calling themselves that.

  2917. Friendly neighborhood chomo.

  2918.  @andrewlong6438  Agree. I saw Top Gun in the theatre when it came out and one word describes it: Puerile.

  2924. Aaaaaand ... because I'm watching this in the US I have to watch first, an ad for a high-interest CREDIT CARD to buy EYEGLASSES showing an under-18 kid who'd presumably not have the eyeglasses he needs unless his parents sign up for this card (which will result in their losing their house, mark my words).
    2
  2925. Why say anything? You never heard of SSS? Shoot, Shovel, Shut-up? Ideally you gut shoot 'em so they crawl off and, afraid to see a doctor because gunshot wounds are reported, die in whatever drug den they came from. Geez. Don't say anything, people.

  2927. We also have a rich-poor divide that's not characteristic of first-world nations but like you'd find in a 'developing' nation.

  2928. Everyone writing from the USA is sitting on stolen land. How come the descendants of Normans in England aren't handing it all back over to the descendants of Picts? It just goes on and on .... I've been wrestling with this matter and ... I'm seeing a lot of double standards. Everyone screams about Israel but what about Japan's occupation of Okinawa? What about Australia and their Aborigines? And so on and on .... Plus, people in the US like to scream about "all that money" we send to Israel, but we sent an equal amount to Jordan and Egypt (adding up the two) and most Americans wouldn't like to see money go to them but it goes ... The more I look the more I see some real double-standards with regard to Israel.

  2931. LOL OMG you're talking about my boss at 13:00 he's in his 70s and re-financed his McMansion just a few years ago .... he got a super low rate but you're right he's not going to bite into that actual principal because one of two things is going to happen: (1) He dies. Now his family has to deal with it and by this I mean, probably lose the house, or (2) he comes up with some cockamamie reason to refinance AGAIN....

  2932. Ohio has, for instance, an absolutely massive ham radio fest called "Dayton" in ham radio circles it's whether you've been to Dayton or not. I've been a ham since the early 80s and I still haven't been.

  2933. I looked up how vitamin B12 is made because I thought it was made from krill or something but it's made by "microorganisms" so yeah, vegans eat yeast so B12 supplements would be OK with them. Just ... don't be vegan ok?

  2934. Man, now I want a nukie detector again. It's a fun hobby, finding glazed plates etc in thrift stores that are hotter than $2 pistols.

  2935. I'm glad someone is recognizing the terrible danger to National Security posed by pencil fires. Why do you think they tell you to bring two pencils to the SAT test? Statistically, there's a fair chance one will catch fire. Two might catch fire but in that case there's an unwritten rule that another test-taker will loan the burned-out test taker their 2nd pencil, after having put the fire out, of course.

  2936.  @vijaygupta-cg7fo  Very very far. They take gobs and gobs of power to run, and so far autonomous vehicles do not have a very good safety record.

  2937. I'm still trying to figure out the Arnold Palmer's schlong thing. Firstly, I really doubt pro golfers all shower together after the game. It's golf. You just don't get that sweaty. Secondly, even if they all did, how in hell was Trump in there spying on them? I think he has golf mixed up with football.

  2940. Schools for the non-elite in the US are absolutely awful. They hardly teach you anything. I got some of the 1968-69 "Hong Kong" flu, and even though I was a little kid I got really sick. But that's not talked about either. Just about everything I know about history, I've learned as an adult on my own. We weren't even taught about WWI, WWII, really major stuff.
    2
  2941. They're not very well educated or well-informed people. Bet they can tell you every detail regarding the purchase and availability of vodka in their neighborhood though.

  2949. that puzzles me too - I think it means no cars who are dropping people off or picking them up, "standing" at the stop.

Hm, I've had a kinda bad experience with Cuban transport ... .I was over there as an athlete, got on the wrong bus, and the driver was taking me, just me alone, off into the hinterlands it seemed. I wanted to get back to my hotel and had no money, so I managed to convince him to take a lot of sports pins I had - all I had - to take me back.

  2962. What do you expect? Picking them out with those little bitty hands/stubby fingers.
    2
  2963. Agent Krasnov is even freaking out. He's following Putin's orders because it's that or a cup of polonium tea.

  2964. If I could snap my fingers and make all Protestants disappear, I would snap my fingers .... they are a horrible scourge on the earth.

  2965. What immediately jumps out at me about Universe no. 25 is, if it was started with just a few rats, you've got some heavy duty inbreeding going on.
    2
  2966. You know most US'ians are poor and live several to a room right?
    2
  2967. Oh! read it again - Idaho. Yeah, you made your bed, buddy.
    2
  2968. "Palestinians" used to refer to anyone but Jews under the British Mandate, is pure mid-1960s USSR propaganda and anyone who uses that term is not only a Jew-hater but a tankie.
    2
  2969. "Palestinians" are Arabs. I call them Fakestinians. And what will you believe, the words of ignorant 7th century peasants living in the modern world and trying to destroy it, or DNA tests?
    2
  2970. Last election I decided that in my religion, I'll work Xmas and New Year's Day but elections are my national holidays. Any election, I take the whole damn day off and vote, so even if voting takes me 6 hours like last time, it's OK I have the whole day.

  2971. Scourge on the Earth.

  2972. As someone on Reddit said about Biden, I'll vote for him and then I'll fight him for more progressive causes. We can do this!

  2973. Syphilis is in the driver's seat now.

  2974. Americans too. In fact you can pretty much name any of the "big name" millionaires back when a million was something, and they'd made it selling opium in China.
    2
  2975. I'm in "Silicon Valley" in California and we also seem to enjoy wearing masks even when we don't have to like driving alone in our cars, and there's the "California sorry" where, for instance, someone bumps into me and I say sorry. Also, we love standing in lines - queuing is our idea of a good time. I've been to a few countries and two rules that seem to apply everywhere are (1) if you make the effort to at least learn some basic words of the local language, the locals love it. You don't have to be a language genius, but at least make an effort. And (2) for some reason, when you're in another country, you "represent" that country. You want to be on your best behavior, just like they said, wear a mask on the train, don't walk when the don't-walk signal is on, don't be offensive or loud or rude etc. You will occasionally get questions better handed by the State Department so just do your best to be polite, helpful, etc.
    2
  2976. Writing from Silicon Valley 1.0 here, quality of life is going to be MUCH better in India than in the USA. Ask around, anyone who's been to the USA, about the homeless, drug addicts in the streets, the crime, people losing their jobs, losing their homes, etc.
    2
  2977. Don't go into tech. The money's draining right out of it. You'll make OK money, maybe, from ages 25-40 after that you'll never get a job. Much better to go into a trade, work for the post office, water treatment plant, etc. Or become a barber. Anything but tech.

  2978. A family favorite was "Noxema Chicken" - it was baked chicken slathered with mayonnaise to keep it moist.
    2
  2979. For the 99%, it really doesn't matter if houses are $2 million or $1 million. What's needed is widespread, violent revolution a' la' the Soviet revolution of 1918.
    2
  2980. Tanktic of desperation
    2
  2981. Manong also needs a gun and to train with it, keep it nearby in dangerous areas like his own home. Asians need to arm up, form self-defense groups, fight back don't just roll over and die!
    2
  2982.  @tgreenland  Not only that but cowardly orcs have a marked tendency to run away, abandoning their comrades as well as their war material, making Muscovia the actual #1 supplier for guns and tanks and such things to Ukraine, ahead of the US and everyone.
    2
  2983. The trouble with Stevia is, if you use more than a little, there's an aftertaste like the dog farted

  2984. @Claire fitzpatrick Same here in California. Someone steps on my foot, I say sorry.
    2
  2985. I had a plastic toy SR-71 I played with in the bathtub in the early 70s.
    2
  2986. Japan, as it was modernizing, had a big problem with pellagra. You might do one on their struggle with it, and why curry, yes, curry at least how the English did it, solved the problem and why curry's such a big deal in Japan even now.
    2
  2987. I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area and .... it's weirdly warm. Sorrels and a lot of other things are flowering. It's like Spring out there but it's the last week of January.
    2
  2988. tRump keeps firing anyone who's competent.
    2
  2989. Speaking as a communist, science is obviously communist. The free worldwide exchange of research results, traditionally not done for profit but for the good of mankind, and let's never forget that from the beginning the USSR was first in Space and the US has been playing catch-up ever since.
    2
  2990. They know he's rotting fast. The idea is to try to win the election with him, then he'll have a "heart attack" or a "nervous breakdown" and it'll be Vance in the White House.
    2
  2991. The part about Chinese medicine and the modern confirmation of that particular treatment is really neat.
    2
  2992. I've come to detest Amazon and I canceled my Prime by getting a new card number and no longer using the Prime I had/have (I don't even know if I still have it lol) I'd buy things on Amazon and if I re-bought something the 2nd time it was always a cheapo copy of the thing I'd first bought. And it was always more expensive than buying locally. Also, not only did Prime almost double in price, but suddenly I couldn't sign into my own account and would not be able to unless I ran out and bought an $800 - $1000 smartphone which I'm not prepared to do. F*ck Amazon just f*ck 'em.
    2
  2993. I've had both shots + booster, but here's the interesting thing: I tried going with a private business (CVS drug store) and could not get one, but government-run vaccination sites, no problem. I went to one that was not too far away from me, in a gov't complex, easy-peasy. The booster shot I got at a government site set up in a library a bit of a bike ride away but it wasn't too hard to ride over there. The private market has its place but there are a lot of essential things that are much better done by government - like China does.
    2
  2994. We get it(tm) it means hating everyone who isn't the exact same kind of Christian you are.
    2
  2995. Being homeless trims about 30 years off of your life expectancy. So yeah you see these homeless people who look healthy but hello, the ones who aren't die, fast. It's like seeing foxes or bobcats, etc in the wild, of course they look healthy because the unhealthy ones are quickly removed from the population. But "housed" as in kept as pets, foxes or bobcats etc live 2X-3X as long as wild ones. Living in the wild is ROUGH.
    2
  2996. Yeah well, losing children, almost lost husband to murderers, they're allowed.
    2
  2997. Since you're such a fan of Putin and Russia, I supposed you can go there.
    2
  2998. I paid my loans off decades ago but I would warn anyone who will listen against the college scam. For my "investment" I got lower pay than HS dropouts working for the same company, and although a lucky inheritance cut my payoff time to 5 years, it was on a 10-year payoff plan and of course the hope is that the borrower would meet with some misfortune or screw up somehow and end up paying on them for life.

  2999. He wants a whites-only country, with Census workers empowered to declare non-whites non-citizens. Plain and simple.

  3012. We're queue'ing to go into markets here in California, and frankly it's a matter of lining up outside in the fresh air, or being in the same length of line inside, where it's much more likely to spread the crud.

  3014. The population of Hawaii is decreasing. In fact it's in the top 10 of US states people are leaving.

  3016. Probably the best all-around is a van, get a stripped down type van that carpenters etc use, you can use it for, well, carpenter type stuff, fix it up as a camper, etc.

  3018. CASH CASH baby! I do not trust any of that stuff. It's all a scam, paypal and all of it.

  3019. The neat thing these days is, you can build and fly pretty much anything, as an R/C plane. And you can fly it FPV, which still isn't the same as flying up in it, but it's a hell of a lot cheaper.
    2
  3020. There are large - geographically, not population-wise - parts of the US where earning $100 a month is doing pretty well. I've lived in one of these areas. They make China look really good. Victory and glory to the CCP.

  3021. Trump? You mean Komrade Krasnov?
    2
  3022.  @caroltopalian593  Yes, this! I am in an area with plenty of Asians and I shop almost exclusively in Asian markets by choice, and it's been great. Distancing, mask wearing, everyone's polite to each other, etc.

  3023. They just have the saying wrong, it's actually From the river to the sea, Israel is Yehudi
    2
  3024. Planes going straight from the production line to the target range (as targets) is pretty hilarious. To me this sounds like a company that had a poisonous work culture. Hewlett and Packard experienced this working for G.E. and while they were alive and walking the floors of HP it was a great company to work for.
    2
  3025. American "cuisine" is extremely heavy on starches and sugars, too much red meat, and Americans hate vegetables.

  3029.  @iceman2921  When there's a not wind, and you have a little fire, it's really easy to put out. When it's windy the fire will grow really fast and even if you're right there where it's starting, it grows faster than you can put it out.

  3030. It's been enough years that there are not many of them still alive now, but there are Germans who consider certain rallies they attended to be the highlights of their lives too.

  3036. What do you think of the "Wim Hof" or other breathing exercises I'm hearing about? Any viewpoint on people who are concerned about catching it, adding a breathing exercise to their daily routine?
    2
  3037.  @docpepper9914  It's hard to take on the sugar lobby head-on in the US. I think his idea was to cut down on sweet drinks this way (there are people who eat fast food for just about every meal) then you get data for studies showing avg. weight goes down X number of lbs once the consumption of sugar syrup goes down.
    2
  3038. Just as in the time just before WWII, the isolationists/America-Firsters are coming out of the woodwork.
    2
  3039. I think this is BS but the average life of an empire is 250 years so it makes sense we're on the decline. What makes our empire special is we're taking the planet with us.
    2
  3040.  @kinglumpy6145  A fucking meme degree would have served me better than studying Electrical Engineering, while working 20 hours a week and spending another 20 commuting ... with a meme degree, I'd have that sacred Batchelor's and that, coupled with growing up with an Ivy League educated father, means I'd make a pretty good English teacher. That's much more of a secure living than anything in tech can provide.

  3041. The Enigma machine was a commercial product sold to anyone who wanted one, pre-war.

  3044. Depends on the Jewish person.

  3045. The IRS can calculate my taxes in something like 30 seconds. I'm not worried. My boss had an accountant and all he has to do is hand his receipts etc to his accountant. He's not worried. As for the "digital dollar" I look forward to a thriving black market running in parallel with the bits and bytes.

    2
  3048. His last point is very good, in that if you have an efficient system, it grows quickly but it also crashes quickly. Dmitry Orlov has written extensively on the differences between the USSR's crash and the coming USA crash, and how the USSR fared much better than the USA will ,because in the USSR people were used to things not running that well so they had little gardens, they had social networks, family networks, knew how to repair things themselves etc. Dmitry Orlov has many good lectures on youtube here that are well worth a listen.

  3050. I liked the comment - it's a good quip. If you vote for Diaper Don, you are indeed garbage.

  3051. The Dem party is right of center. The (R) party should have died out decades ago, and the Dems hold down the rightist views of the 10%, while a Socialist or Progressive Party represent the 90% of us who work for a living.

  3052. Germans get 30 days free vacation a year. Plus a bunch'a other stuff like national health care.

  3057. No testing in "silicon valley" unless you're wealthy. There's a dodgy test being offered for over $100, and maybe hundreds of dollars to see a doctor to get approved for the test. In the US unless you're in the 1% you either get it or not, die or not, and that's it. This is a country where people die because they can't afford insulin after all.

  3058.  @lagringa7518  Even untrained ones, they can be trained.

  3059. The 1970s were bad enough! Saving pennies tinfoil etc just like you say, having one "good" t-shirt, etc. anything we tried to grow in a garden got stolen but I got good at fishing and foraging and one neat trick is to learn to eat things that are not generally recognized as food. For instance people thought sweet potato leaves, being potato leaves, were poisonous. They're not. They thought the same about Natal plums because they have a milky sap - they're not. And, you can eat the insides of grass stems. There are all kinds of little tricks to learn.

  3060. Putin wants to rule over the entire Eurasian continent, and he wants to populate it with only his own "pure" people, does this sound familiar? Europe needs to work together to defend against the muscovite regime and I really, really hope the US continues its support.

  3065. There are a lot of schlock operators on Ebay but not all of us are. I don't sell something at NOS unless it really is NOS. I sell a lot of things as used even though I highly suspect they're NOS but can't conclusively prove it. I'm the quickest draw in town to issue a refund if parts turn out to not work for the customer. (It's not worth it quibbling over a $10 tube of chips anyway). And a lot of the stuff I sell has been in some university's parts room for many decades so I like to think I'm avoiding the fake chips problem by selling chips that are very old.

It happened to me, it happened to my friend, they sucked us dry, my friend went to work for someone else, I dropped off the grid, I don't know what my credit score is now and I don't care.

  3084. This is so good to hear! The Abramic family of religions are primitive apocalypse cults. The idea that there's is one life, that there is a jealous god or any god at all, all of it, is very primitive and stupid and violent. They are primitive religions of savages, not fit for nations with 1000s of years of civilization. I would like to see anti-Christianism everywhere.
    2
  3085. Yeah what a time. Actually over Xmas season 2019-2020 my boss had a coughing thing and he came over to the shop and coughed on me and I thought, "I'm gonna get this" and I did. I was pretty sick for something like a month, or more like two weeks and then two more to recover. I remember making lots of ramen with things, and while I don't remember clearly losing my sense of taste/smell, I remember having to take care to make my dinner look visually attractive so I'd feel motivated to eat it. The nearly-deserted streets. If someone had mown the grass somewhere, I could smell it. I could smell people's cooking. The freakouts over supplies. I, too, bought supplies which I later donated. I'd bought a couple of cloth masks early on thinking well, I might need them, maybe. Over the next couple of months I felt lucky I'd thought to get them. I went back to cutting my own hair (treated myself to a fancy cordless clipper) and worked out a way to do laundry at home w/o a washing machine or dryer. My home cooking greatly improved and continues to do so more out of budgeting these days. I became big on donating, mostly things I turn out not to need but money also. I'd say it made me a more generous person. As I write we're having a bit of a covid surge but it's not the scary thing it was in mid-late 2020.

  3096.  @Andrew54123  I grew up in Hawaii. It's actually totally normal. You speak Pidgin and home at more standard English at home, or standard English at home and pidgin with your school or work buddies, then you have to give a Canadian tourist directions, or you deal with a lot of Japanese tourists at your job...

    2
  3102. Actually in Hawaii you can move to a less-desirable area where maybe there are jobs you can do. You can move to one of the other islands, land is still cheap on the big island and parts of it are like a big spread-out Slab City.

  3110.  @lordemed1  A lot of Iranis would like that very much. Iran was a modern country or at least rapidly becoming one, when the Shah was kicked out. A lot of the people there really don't like having to live like it's the 7th century. You know, like if that idiotic Project 2025 came to be here in the US.

  3111. That's what Hitler did. He promised the German people that he'd "Make Germany Great Again" (he really used those words) and for a while, it was actually kind of good, at least for the majority. You didn't want to be a Jew or a Gypsy or an intellectual with the wrong views, but for the vast majority, things really did get better. And then Dear Leader said they should go to war ... and not that many years later Germany was nearly destroyed, we've all seen the photos of the wrecked cities. Millions of Germans dead - Germans their Dear Leader had said he loved and valued so much - loved and valued enough to get them blown to pieces.

  3113. Almost all of the question-askers who send in these idiotic questions to Corey are Americans. Who sit comfortably on land that the American colonial project, and "Manifest Destiny", genocided almost completely free of the pesky natives. In fact, the American near-complete genocide of the natives inspired Hitler. And like Hitler, mainstream Americans really don't like Jews, so their picking on Israel while sitting, metaphorically, on a mountain of Native skulls, is just priceless. Secondly, Jews are native to Israel. Arabs, who spread out in a huge wave of colonization around the year 700, are not. The Arabs even got into Spain and France. Now, Arabs have 22 countries to call their own, plus large populations in countries like the US, France, Germany, etc. Jews have ONE country. A country in which they're native. The situation is a parallel to one if, say, the Navajo in the US wanted to go live in their land. And in fact there's a huge Navajo "reservation" in the US, on some of the most useless and barren land. The Navajo aren't officially 2nd-class citizens, but there are plenty of documentaries on how life is for them. If a certain regime wins on November 5th 2024, there's a pretty good chance the genocide of native Americans, since they're brown, will be completed. Even a couple of decades ago when I lived near large "Indian" reservations, the resentment and hatred by non-natives toward the Natives was worrying. Tons of talk about "Indians" this and "Indians" that and they were blamed for tons of crimes that they didn't do. This is in the 90's and early 2000s. I was both amazed and dismayed. The Jews will not go down without a fight. They do not want the precarious existence of the Natives of the very land these idiotic questions come from. They want their own nation and they have it and they will fight for it. I hardly call a "colonizer" someone who is living in their native land. The Arabs are the colonizers.

  3116. 14:56 Speaking as an alcoholic, it's hard to find 3.6% beer in the US outside of Utah. The lower-alcohol beers will be 4.5% - 5.5%. The beers like Budweiser or Miller or Coors will be around 6.5% and the India pale ales that are so much in fashion now are 7% - 9%. Wines are around 15%, Korean wine/drink called soju is around 18-22%, and I believe some of the alcoholic drinks marketed to kids like 4loko were a higher percentage but these days they're about 5% - so the kid can drink more lol. The point of this is, they can all sneak up on you and it's not just the alcohol but God knows what's in 'em because in the US alcoholic drinks don't have to have ingredient labeling except that wines have to be labeled if they "may" contain sulfites. So there's sugars and all kinds of weird sweeteners in there too like a lot of the Korean drinks will have sugar AND aspartame.

  3118. In the US, Mercedes is considered a luxury car brand, but in Europe they make trucks and all kinds of utilitarian vehicles. The one little taste of that in the US is the "Sprinter" van, much-beloved by van dwellers, often is Mercedes badged although it often has the Dodge emblem on the front, kind of like the Toyota Matrix/Pontiac Vibe. Same vehicle.

  3119. you're talking about 30-40 or more years ago. Cars are being made with more plastic parts, and most cars are now not made with a chassis (body-on-frame) but it's almost more like an airplane fusilage, as light as possible and also strong. Modern car engineering is pretty amazing. Safer but they do burn more thoroughly.

Hence the atrocities in Ukraine, and the penchant for Arabs to bomb things from the Twin Towers to many, many airliners, the attacks and atrocities against peaceful hippie Israelis who thought they'd befriended them, etc. There is a story about a frog who a scorpion wanted a ride from, across a river...

  3140. "The Apocalypse" is a thing in Western culture. It's not really a thing in other cultures. As an American, one of my earliest memories is of being told all about "Doomsday" by my older brother as we rode along in the family station wagon in Southern California. Just about "Peak America" here. My parents were of course in the car with us, my father driving because women didn't drive at least nice ones didn't, and they didn't say a peep to correct us or get us to change the subject of conversation, because it was not considered anything but utterly normal to talk about "Doomsday" even between a 5-year-old and a 6-year-old.

  3141. They will murder anyone they see as "weak" - so POC, mentally ill, the "other" in any way. I've had a Karen ready to call the cops on me, because I tan quite dark in the sun for a "white" person, and was riding my bike on the sidewalk where it's OK to do that in my town. And I"d jumped up onto the sidewalk to avoid her SUV which was charging down the street toward me. She swerved into a driveway to block me, and I'm certain she was hoping I'd have some accent so she could call the cops on the "dangerous foreigner". It kind of took the air out of her balloon when I turned out to speak better English than she does, and eventually got out my pepper spray.

  3171. The most consumption there's been is "prepper" type spending, and if times get hard the "preppers" will just live off of their stores and not have to buy much in the way of food for months. This is often discussed in prepping communities, that the nuclear war or Commie invasion or whatever never happened, but they lost their job and were glad they had a year's basic food in stock so their families didn't starve. Preppers are a nutty bunch, but their approach makes some sense in a capitalist hellhole like the USA.

If you are getting food stamps, why not spend them on a sensible eating plan? I've been there done that and if you get help it's to be used to better your situation. It may be legal to spend food stamps on soda, or to never clean the carpet in your new apartment, but ethically it's really wrong.

  3198. The ali'i (royals) worked Hawaiians near to death harvesting sandalwood so said sandalwood could be sold to buy jewelry and carriages and goodies. Tons of Hawaiians enlisted on whaling ships or anything to get away because the old social order was feudalism - the king could put you to work without pay because you were the king's property.

  3200. I don't think spitting on Christians is going to get them to stop worshiping idols. In fact, Christians love drama and they love to feel persecuted, so to them, spitting on them means they get to get all kinds of sympathy. Christians are not even insulting Hashem because they don't really understand anything past idol worship. My favorite example is prime numbers. If you know what those are, good. If not, look up an explanation because they're pretty neat. Prime numbers exist. But there is no physical thing you can point to and say, "This is a prime number". Prime numbers are not something that's embodied. They're the level above. In the same way, Hashem isn't made of flesh and blood, or stone, or wood, or diamond, or anything. This is the big breakthrough of Judaism. Judaism isn't "like" Christianity, it's completely different. The Christians adopted a lot of Jewish rituals and have a book that's a bad translation of the Torah doesn't help clarify things. If one cares to, befriending and explaining is the way to go with idolators, not spitting.

  3202. A system with a lot of have-nots who have been have-nots for generations that might be pretty stable. But when you have a system where you have a lot of middle-class who are being turned into have-nots within a generation, like in the US, things get very unstable. Ex-middle-class people remember what it's like for things to not suck, and they're fairly competent and skilled, being the ones who get most of the work done. This is what also happened in Germany in the 1920s into the 1930s.

  3215. I love your work. I got all involved watching every video, a year or two ago, and I started to realize: Where are all the homeless people? In the US, I don't care how wealthy a street you walk down, or hang out on, Castro Street in Mountain View, California, or University Avenue, Palo Alto, California, or, well, any street in San Francisco, and you will have homeless people in the background, and maybe asking you for spare change while you film. But in Israel where are they?? So I did some research, and wow, Israel's got something like 1/20th the rate of homelessness of the USA, somewhere around 1/10th the crime rate, etc. And it's cheaper to live there. Food is cheaper. You are not required to own a car. It's walkable in the cities and people are friendly. I did all this research etc because I was pretty sure I'm Jewish on my mother's side. I was even started to study Hebrew, went to some services at a local shul, and did things like mess around on the shofars in the gift shop. Guess what? - You can't play US Army bugle calls on a shofar. The harmonics are wrong somehow. This is probably a good thing. I finally did the 23and me test and around the same time, got in contact with a relative who knew about such things and while they're Lithuanian on Mom's side they're part Tatar not Jewish. I am considering converting anyway because what I've learned appeals to me. And I think I'd love it in Israel.

  3219. Gorbachov and computers that's fascinating. Because there's a book called Red Plenty where it's described that there was a hope that with computers, Communism could indeed be improved and become the superior system. This optimism also came about because in the 1960s and 70s, the USSR was doing well for its people and their standard of living was rising.

I just get along and am polite to people. Sadly, there are Christians here, and they are annoying. I have to ride my bike past a "store front" Christian church often and I have to worry because the people driving in and out are always very angry and do not care if they hit a bicyclist or pedestrian - it's a real danger zone.

But it's orcs using them and the orcs have been ill-trained and ill-led for centuries they do stupid things like driving through mine fields they know are there and getting blown up, going around with hatches open and getting taken out by drones, and even super-stupid shit like getting in collisions with each other, tipping over into ditches, stuff like that.

  3225. People who are leaving are generally boomers who are retiring, there are lots of those. People losing their jobs in tech and moving back to Iowa because tech is taking another nosedive.

  3228. Nope. They could have hit him with narcan and he'd have been fine. I worked for a goddamn animal hospital and we treated dogs, even bad bitey ones, better than the police treat Black people in the US.

  3237. This is why if you're really worried about something and you're in the US, it might be a good time to take a vacation in a first-world country and while you're there, get it checked out. Even private doctors overseas are super cheap compared to the US.

  3240. I hate it when good cops die. Some years ago, a cop got shot in Santa Cruz by a nut who never should have been outside a padded cell, and it came out that that cop was just about the coolest guy on the force. It's still not as dangerous a job as working in a convenience store...

  3241. I like the Behind The Bastards take on Macafee, they said he basically always did the "most Caucasian thing" he could. What's more Caucasian than running natives off of their land for profit?

  3242. Um, the truth of the matter is, we do have to live like the average Indian citizen. And if I had his riches, I think it'd be great to have a program where poor people are paid to educate themselves - imagine college but in reverse, financially speaking. So you're giving them a living but not really giving in that they're earning it but earning it by getting an education.

Talk about accuracy going out the window. As for pistols being called "autos" yep that's correct. The M1911 was often called a ".45 auto" the little .32ACP is for Automatic Colt Pistol, and so on.

  3257. It's so good to see you're able to trace your genealogy. I've recently "got religion" haha and my temple has one lady who says if I can give her (copies of) what papers I have, she might be able to trace mine. Father WASP we're talking no melanin. Mother very brown, very Jewish name, and the names before her going back, trace back to Vilnius in Lithuania. I'm fairly brown myself, kind of the ... "You're 'something'" all 23andme says is yep, half Scots-English that's Dad, and half Lithuanian that would be Mom. Poland, Ukraine, Lithuania, were all part of the "Russian Empire" and the Russkis did all kinds of awful things like ban any language but Russian, and not allow the people to teach their children their own history etc. For example, dig into the background of Marie Curie. She was an "underground teacher" teaching Polish kids in Polish, a very severe crime to the Russkis. My maternal side skipped out of Lithuania around 1880 or so.

  3258. I'm living on about 1/5th what I made before the crash of 08 so I'm not sure how much further there is to go. The biggest possibility is if something happens to the guy I work for, then I may end up homeless but if I can hold out another 3 years I can retire anyway.

  3275. love the geese chiming in at the beginning. I bought paper towels today and the usual $6-something or maybe $7 double roll was ... almost $10? And vinegar's doubled (I used white vinegar to clean my kettle) so the organic 365 brand from whole foods was actually cheaper. I can cook at home more and am doing so, and I can go to cheaper foods, so I can gear down quite a bit. But I'm beginning to wonder if I should start stacking silver'n'gold.

  3276. 58:00 or so: It bears repeating that while approx. 6M Jews were killed, about an equal number were killed because they were German but of the opposite political stance, "mentally defective" (which could be subjectively defines) and so on. Remember the January 6th insurrection in the US? They were calling for the murder of one of their fellow Republicans, because he wasn't right-wing enough, and I have no doubt they'd have killed him if they'd have caught him. Remember the calling for the blood of Republicans-not-Republican-enough? Needless to say the calling for the killing of all Democrats. Fascism lusts for blood and it need not be Jewish blood it might be your blood.

  3277. Aww, would it pain you to also learn that Hitler, due to vegetarian diet and probably other factors like stress and a nocturnal schedule, used to fart like a choo-choo train?

  3280. It's simple: there are a lot of really, really stupid people in the US. Under Socialism we'd have proper education. Compare educational standards in the USSR vs. the US, the USSR had high schoolers doing college level work.
    2
  3281. Fun Fact: The "Old Testament" is pretty much the Jewish Torah. You can find the Torah online for free and even a daily/weekly "Torah Portion" as observant Jews read through and study the whole thing on a yearly cycle. Needless to say, this KJV quote is in the Torah also.

  3285. That bit near the end, about the people who were anti-Trump, actually talking to people who voted for him and saying "I understand why you voted that way, but you're acting against your own interests" this is starting to happen as I write now at the end of August, 2024. This is actually starting to happen, the communication, the empathy. It's really good to see. It's starting to be communicated to Joe Lunchpail that he was right to feel angry and it's understandable how he's voted, but that he's been conned and Americans hate the feeling that they've been conned.
    2
  3286. The trouble is, Corey is from the Anglosphere and gets most of his questions from the Anglosphere so we're talking mostly Americans with some Brits, Canadians, Aussies etc. So he gets stupid questions. But that's how his show works, he doesn't come up with the questions, the people who write to him do. I hope to meet Corey in person someday and I will definitely buy him a Gold Star beer.

  3288. The economy turns bad, Lo and behold the leaders tell them this or that foreign group is causing it to be bad. Well, there are not a lot of foreigners in China but apparently some foreign cars. This reminds me of how Japanese cars were vandalized in the US in the 1980s when Japanese import cars took a lot of the market from American cars (mainly because American cars were gas-guzzling clunkers).

  3291. OK now that you've at least skimmed the Nature article, I'm going to enlarge on this. Given that this discovery, that gastric ulcers could be cleared up easily with a course of antibiotics, this made the news channels as it was a story that just about everyone could relate to. I, personally, am old enough to remember the ever-present commercials on TV for ulcer cures, all sorts of pills and chewables and so on, with B-grade actors acting out the result of eating "too spicy" (for Midwesterners) food, or worrying too much. Portly guys grimacing and clutching their middles and so on. After the discovery that it was strongly linked to a particular bacteria, easily treated, those commercials disappears from the air and no one missed them. I relate all of this to show that you have to be living under a rock to not know about this change in treatment for ulcers. And unless this incident is framed in some time line before 2005 or 2006, any doctor would have known to put this guy on the course of antibiotics and get those ulcers cleared up. "Perforated ulcer" by the way used to be a commonly-heard term. How times have changed. I can see how someone might not realize they're drinking a harmfully basic chemical in their coffee, though, because human perception of bases can be kind of funny. Evolutionarily speaking, we're well attuned to acids. Lots of plants and fruits are acidic before they're ripe, or acid is used by a plant to make itself unpalatable. But there are not strong bases used this way, really, and a basic solution can taste a little bit sweet, and rather than the "bite" of an acid will feel less irritating than it should, and actually make skin surfaces feel slippery - that's the saponification at work. I hope the guy's wife got charged for attempted murder.

I have a Chinese, a Korean, a Japanese, and a Vietnamese market in my regular rotation and my God, the snacks! Tons of sugary, starchy, admittedly delicious, snacks! And sugary drinks! The traditional Okinawan diet was small portions, and not a lot of starches and sugars. Those were for special times. Lots of veggies, more fish and seafood than things like red meat or even chicken, and lots of exercise. Not running-a-marathon type exercise but like the Amish, doing the equivalent of walking several miles a day.

But when you're defending against a zombie it's all on the table.

  3312.  @DemonSlayer-df4ym  OK I'm going to stop joking around... when you say "commits the most" it would be white people because they're the single largest group in the US. But as a percentage basis, it's black people. But the US not only has a racial pecking order, it also has a class pecking order. And the reality of it is the most violent are those lowest on the class pecking order. Just look at England, they've got areas that area all white and insanely crime-ridden because the people there are working class, if even that. More like underclass. Opra Winfrey is not out mugging people, but a lower/underclass black person might be, just as likely a lower/underclass white person. And in the US we won't even admit we have defined social classes that are very hard to rise from - if you're on the bottom you're stuck there. No wonder the underclass acts out more.

  3347. No-Doz and Vivarin, both caffeine pills. Both were my friends when I took night classes, good thing I just walked to those classes (lived near the college). I haven't had a credit card since 2008 and one part of me wants to get a secured card and build up credit again and part of me says "screw it" when I retired back where a grew up, a place a bit behind the times, I should not need credit to rent the kind of very modest place I plan to live in. I make less than $20k a year, and I can save almost half of what I make and that's after giving a few thou a year to the IRS (which I don't mind, we live in a society). Back in the old days, I could rent a car from Ugly Duckling, if they're still around. Those cars really are ugly ducklings though!

The Pogo strip started in the 1950s, the US had just been in WWII and people knew what shitheads the Nazis were. The Pogo strip would come off as being super-liberal now, but it reflected how people felt and were politically oriented at the time.

We Leftists are more reasonable, and take a viewpoint of, "Let's see how we can solve this" and not going into screeching chimpanzee mode. For an example of the differences, compare and contrast how much Noam Chomsky makes and how much that turd Alex Jones makes. The Right is all about panic and fear.

  3362. Only a psychopath would just walk on, not even caring about the fate of the cyclist, which would have been very obviously bad. A normal person would not have pushed the cyclist, and even if they did, or the cyclist fell on their own, a normal person would rush over to help.

  3363.  @acherontiaatropos6048  I ride on the street or on the sidewalk at times, depending on which is safest. Some of the streets in my town are wide, with painted bike lanes. Some are narrow, with no bike path as such and cars parked along the side - often streets like that will have tons more room on the sidewalk and no one walking on it because it's America. I always pick my route for "the least conflict".

  3364. It looks like the Depression out there because it is the Depression out there. Most of us never recovered from the 08 crash, and the nation's handling of covid has been essentially a try to have the "biglyest" Depression of all.

He could have gone to an STD clinic, even gone to Planned Parenthood which does a lot of good work for people who are of modest means, they cover things like prenatal care, STDs or can refer to someone to treat an STD at least. STDs are back with a vengeance these days but there are still remnants of the old public-health system that was very concerned with them and made treatment for them easy to access.

  3373. The leader of the Nazis 2.0 is every bit as weird as the weirdest of the Nazis 1.0. Only in this case weird, demented, and OLD. It reminds me of The Man In The High Castle, with a very elderly and senile Hitler

  3391. I hated Bush but in all fairness, he was visiting a ship that had just returned from a training cruise, and it was "Mission Accomplished" for the ship, not for Iraq etc. The press didn't make that clear, and Bush himself didn't help things by saying it was like the "Mission Accomplished" the ship had on its banner. Our present-day low-budget Orange Hitler is an idiot with words, but Bush wasn't far behind.

  3392. DANGER WILL ROBINSON - "Go ahead and buy that house if you can rent it for what you're paying for it" - Uhh, big nope there. If the economy goes back into Depression mode, full-on, mask-off, The Waltons style Depression, can you still carry the note? That's the real question. Of course you can get a crazy high rent in a crazy high housing market. But you're going to have a hard time getting any paying renters at all once we go full-on Woodie Guthrie. You might get a family who will do your yard work in exchange for a roof over their heads and that's about it. Will you be able to service the mortgage under those conditions?

  3393. Good observation. I remembered this before and after the 2008 crash in Santa Cruz - before, you'd see lots of shopping bags, after, you'd see lots of people savoring a $1 or $2 little dish of ice cream.
    2
  3394. Exactly. You wait until it's dire then go to the ER because by then you're flipping a coin, figure you're gonna die anyway. Then you might have to pay a month's income, and that's after the hospital's programs for the poor have paid most of it.

  3397. Don't spend too much energy on neo-Nazis. Somehow the Japanese can have Japan, and the Samoans have Samoa, and the Turkish, Turkey, and the Russians, Russia, but they hate the idea of Jews having Israel because they won't want Jews to have anywhere - they want all Jews dead. And their saying they're Left, even thinking they're Left, is a smokescreen. The Nazi Party had "Socialist" in the name because it was a sort of "good housekeeping seal of approval" of the 1930s, it meant they were supposed to look out for the working man. Today's Left wants all Jews dead just as much as today's Nazis, they just don't want to get their own hands dirty. They want Hamas and ISIS and so on to do the dirty part of it - they'll just fund them.

  3400.  @Malama_Ki  Spittin' facts.
    2
  3401. I think a major difference is, in Japan they're strict about drugs (which I agree with) whereas the US has all but legalized even the worst drugs like fentanyl, methamphetamine, etc. So you get an area with homeless people in the US, it's like an open-air mental asylum because so many of them tend to be severe drug addicts. In Japan it seems that, with no drugs in the picture, the homeless are pretty much like everyone else, just lacking homes.
    2
  3402. I wish I could reach back in time and tell that poor lady that in the 1970s my father was a computer programmer but surprise surprise, there's no money in that. He was a decent amateur carpenter and should have done that - been a workman. Instead he struggled to find work at all, and died in poverty in his early 60s. My mother the same, could only find the lowest jobs. We kids went from middle-class to poverty. We know all about shitting in a bucket and having one good t-shirt. This is life in the USA in the 1970s, lived by people who were in the US a few generations, on my father's side more than a few. I don't know what to say. Stay in Iraq and be killed, or rough it in Israel? I know what my answer would be.
    2
  3403. If he'd really read his Jack London, he'd know that those adventurous gold miners etc. always went into the wild with 100s or even 1000s of lbs of food and supplies and equipment. And anyone who's big on "survival" living out in the wild would have come across "Never Cry Wolf" by Farley Mowat, Mowat's first book, about living in a tent out in the field in Alaska, studying wolves. Mowat actually worked out how to live, like the wolves did during part of the year, on mice. Hint: you don't want to waste any of the mouse...
    2
  3404. Or just keep a can of "NoSalt" seasoning (potassium chloride) handy. But what do kids know?

  3405. This class of drugs is REALLY bad. I feel like I really dodged a bullet by never getting involved with them other than two times, 2-weeks each time on Librium which has a long half-life and it was used for a short time. But in the US now it's really hard to get these drugs even if you need them to get off of alcohol. No more Librium even though the stuff can be a life saver. So, if you're hooked on "the sauce" about all you can do is taper down then take kava-kava to get over that last hump. Meditation techniques are fine for getting to sleep, it turns out.

  3406. It's like Hitler and Mussolini all over again.

  3407. The muscovites want to kill every Ukrainian man, woman, and child. Total genocide. So it's no wonder the Ukrainians are fighting like wildcats - it's for their very existence. And make no mistake, Putin wants to take over all of Eastern Europe and then start in on Western Europe.

  3412. When I got my amateur radio license, I memorized a shit-ton of stuff plus the frequency band allocation at the time, plus drew that out on my scratch paper right as the test started to make sure I had it right ... test was given at the FCC office in those years and I got looked at extra hard because they thought I might be cheating lol. The license has become much easier to get in the years since.

The Right all fearing the same things.... somehow, the "lazy" Hispanics are at the same time taking all their jobs, the "inferior" Blacks are at the same time more healthy, stronger, and more vigorous (and gave us about 95% of modern music) the "un-creative" Asians are also out-inventing us, and so on. To a fascist, the enemy is at the same time weak and strong.

  3418. With Hitler Jr. calling the free press "enemies of the people" and advocating shooting his political rivals, etc., yeah, right. The police state is on the right.

  3419. If the tRump gets voted in, life in the US is going to be very difficult if not impossible for anyone not white, and not loyal to the Trump Party. Think about being Jewish, or Roma, or anything non-"Aryan" in 1930s Germany. Think about being a known opponent of fascism or of being someone who sticks up for the rights of others. To the death camps for you! Why anyone would vote for this, is crazy.

  3425. Capitalism operating as designed. There has to be a segment of the population unemployed, to keep wages down. And that segment has to lead a life of misery, to keep the working part of the population scared to death to lose their jobs. Really, Marx described all of this in the 1850s. I don't care if you're Right or Left, you must study Marx.

  3428. I just finished reading a book called Danik! by a survivor who was in Poland and just as the lady says, the Poles his family had known, traded with, drank with, etc., were the ones hunting them down. It's the most boots-on-the-ground retelling of what actually happened, and how, and the feeling and atmosphere of the time I've come across. It's pretty easy to find online too.

  3434. Seriously, the only salvation for the US is if the non-white ppl get out and vote. This country is headed down the road to hard Fascism if non-whites stay home. If only white votes were counted; if only the votes of white women were counted, we'd have had Romney instead of Obama in 2012. What saved us from that was non-whites coming out and voting. We need this again, but even more so given the Trump crew's meddling with registrations etc.

  3449. In Hawaii where I grew up, if you grow regular tomatoes outside, the bugs will eat them up. You have to grow regular tomatoes in a greenhouse, carefully kept safe from bugs etc. But cherry tomatoes grow outside just fine, don't get damaged by bugs, and you can grow them just about anywhere. Therefore, I always thought of cherry tomatoes as the "patriotic" type of tomato to eat. It's only recently I've learned it was invented in Israel, so I guess it really is a patriotic type of tomato.

  3455. He DID give up! He went fuckin' limp! And yes if he were set upright or at least in recovery position, he'd have been fine. These Klan boys hunting him down and killed him and they're pissed off they're being questioned about their "right" to hunt down POC and kill them. I'm not the least part Black and am white-passing and I see Floyd as a case like my older brother. My older bro did some rough stuff, but eventually straightened up and flew right, found a place for himself in the world, and is a good egg. Floyd did the same thing. Tried the rough stuff, realized that won't fly, found a place for himself in the world that's constructive and adds to society. If you think walking down the street while black is a death sentence, you might just be Klan.

Those pretend foods where they try to make something like a hamburger, that doesn't taste or smell like a hamburger, in fact I tried cooking one, following the directions, and it smelled like a burning tire, stunk my house up for days, and was inedible. Meanwhile there are foods that are vegan that are tried and true and don't pretend to be anything else like tofu, seitan, miso, hummus, falafel, and so on that I, a meat eater, love.

  3463. I'm pretty sure I have enough to do my taxes, but I've not been paid for last week and can only hope that this week, my employer pays me. Good old high tech, what a horrible field to hang one's hopes on! In fact I called my boss today to feel things out, get an idea of whether I'll be paid or whether collapse is taking another big step downward ... It's OK, at least as OK as collapse can be. I have plans. Firstly I'd send the IRS what I can but hold back some money to survive on, and start accelerating the selling off of personal things that I've started as I've got less than two years left before I retire. I have an alternate place to stay lined up, have my eye on a couple-three different storage places to keep most of my stuff in. I haven't sold my trumpet yet (and it's amazing to me that a professional grade trumpet has not sold yet at the price I'm asking) so I can always go out and play it and make enough money to survive, I think. I say this because I've made decent money with it before, and because buskers, AKA street musicians, have gone extinct in my city of over 1 million, and so when I've gone out there I get the novelty factor working for me as well as whatever artistic merit my playing might have. CostCo is expensive! I swore off of them years ago. Their deceptive selling practices are what really turned me off. They'll sell cheese advertised as X per package, and when you get to the checkout it's X per pound, with the original X per package so high you're thinking, "Oh, that sounds right for this 1-lb package". Tons of deceptive practices like that in CostCo. I only have one more airline ticket purchase planned in my life, the one that will take me home where I grew up. I'm just hoping things will hold together for the next year and 2/3rds...

For instance, in the West you don't ask a woman who's above her 20s her age - but this isn't a bugaboo among Asians and an older Asian lady will announce her age very proudly, because older people are esteemed in Asia.

  3468. Hard to believe the Fed is planning to crash things when it's the Fed's job to keep things stable and looking at how things have been since the 1930s that's what they've done a fairly good job of doing. The problem is capitalism which by its nature is a wild rollercoaster with booms and crashes - which were much worse before the Fed. In fact, among economists much smarter than are allowed to practice in the US, this was studied and verified. In the USSR they were waiting for the inevitable crash of capitalism and were wondering, When's it going to happen already? So they put Kondratieff to work to study this and he concluded that, unfortunately, capitalism is cyclical, it crashes but not totally then the capitalist economy grows back up, crashes, grows, crashes, grows .... And that's what we've seen, any of us who have lived some decades, is this growth with periodic crashes. If you are unfortunate enough to live in the US, you must assume you will be cleaned out every decade or so.

And we lived in Hawaii where water activities of all kinds are a big thing, hiking for miles (often done barefoot) climbing trees, wrestling around and general being active, rambunctious kids, and none of us ever broke a bone. We had other things like road rash, the time I jumped out of a tree right onto a nail, that time I crashed a friend's mini-bike and scuffed my (naturally, bare) foot, I could go on. "Hey, let's jump off the roof!" - "OK!" I read in books about this whole childhood "rite" of breaking a bone that's accepted in Western culture but it just wasn't something I saw in real life.

  3472. Capitalism is not the burger, though. The CCP could set up community dining halls where everyone gets their daily Shake Shack burger and fries, for instance. Capitalism is not a particular type of food, it's an economic system. There are tons of materials online, even on YouTube here, to learn about this.

  3477. Bravo! Cut out most sugars and carbs, I call my ideal diet "meat and leaves" but the actual name for it is keto, but I don't use those fad foods etc just good old cooking. Lots of veggies. But I don't eat fruit, really, and I really like seafood including fish like mackerel which has a definite flavor. You can do "keto" and be a "fish-a-tarian" or vegetarian, too. The main thing is, cut out the sodas, cut out the waffles and Cheerios and stuff, have eggs with bacon, tofu, b'fast steak, whichever is your groove, cut out that orange juice and have some nice tomato juice instead, now that's a breakfast! Walk a little instead of driving everywhere, but 90% of losing weight is your diet. I've gotten to really like my own cooking during this thing.

  3478. The Postal Service is in the Constitution, which is more than you can say about the military except perhaps the Navy. No one talks about the military not paying its own way. Services cost money. What next? Fire departments have to pay their own way? They're paid with taxes and people are fine with that. The same goes for libraries.

  3479. It seems like the right thing to do, it was probably no secret that Crowhurst was doing it, or trying to do it, for the money which he sorely needed. What's funny is, if Crowhurst had just stayed calm, stayed settled, and gotten into computers he'd have caught the personal computer wave just right and done really well.

  3481. I'm old and remember how in the 80s Japan was feared. Much more so than China is now. The US still had a strong car industry at that time, which was rapidly losing ground as Japan was showing us how well cars could be made. The idea of an Asian nation making things better than we in the US could was still new. The offshoring of US jobs was just starting - the tidal wave of this occurring in the 80s. The WWII generation was still in the saddle in the US and there wasn't the love of Japan and of Asia in general that there is now - only a very few young people were into manga and anime, and to this older generation, there was still a strong animosity about Japan, that whole WWII thing. Now, that China can make things that rate higher on the better+cheaper scale than the US is no surprise and there's nowhere near the "feeling in the air" against Chinese these days that I remember about Japan in the 80s. To understand how Japan's economy fell on its face in 1989 or so, you need to study something called the "Plaza Accords".

  3499. There need to be really basic bottom-level dwellings, made out of concrete with combined toilet/sink, basically think like prison cells, easy to hose out between tenants, very Spartan but clean, hygienic, safe, and very affordable like $100 a month or even less. So you have a basic level of living, you're not in a car or in the park, you can sleep safe and clean and warm. You can then find a job, or study, or whatever you want to do.

  3511. For the moment, let's take out the part where in Russia, you can, and will, go to jail for even calling it a "war". OK. This is, or is becoming, an act of evil on a parallel with the US and Russia's adventures in Afghanistan, or the US's in Viet Nam. Early on, I'd say probably 80% of Americans were "for" the Viet Nam war, because as Noam Chomsky put it, "They were told that Ho Chi Minh was going to get into a canoe and paddle to the US and rape your sister. There were more sophisticated versions of this for the more educated". The majority of US'ians only started to have doubts about the war when enough American kids came home in body bags. Even with their doubts, for a solid decade or more after we were kicked out of Viet Nam in 1975, there were tons of movies made in the US all about our brave effort and our brave guys yadda yadda .... imagine the defeated Nazis, making movies about their "brave service". Yeah. The US produced tons of the disgusting things and I was of the age where I watched a fair amount of the crap. But where was I? Oh yes, propaganda and indoctrination, in Russia's case with the threat of jail if you step out of line. What's the answer? Russians dying. Lots and lots of Russians dying or coming back maimed. Maimed is actually better, because as any good sniper or bobby-trap designer knows, a wounded soldier requires the care of others, their screams are demoralizing, and they become more or less of a burden to Russia when they go home. Besides making a good "anti-recruiting" tool. For more on this see all the maimed and homeless veterans in the USA.... Most people joining the US military are working-class and see it as their only chance in life. But they see the disabled and homeless veterans all over the streets and all they can do is either hope they're lucky and it doesn't happen to them, or they find something else to do. The very very lucky ones find a way to leave the US. So the answer is plain and simple: Make as many dead / disabled Russians as you can. It's very dangerous, but operating behind the lines in Russia itself would be very effective. We're talking bombings, sabotage, etc by anti-war factions within Russia itself. The US saw these, also, so it's nothing new.

  3514. Hahahaa I grew up where whites are a minority and I know how to do that area's version of shuck and jive, and you know what? I can hardly wait to retire there. I'll accept my lower status to be back home where my memories are. And maybe I can help heal, where it's possible. When I moved to the mainland US I was thrown into a shop full of Vietnamese and Cambodians and it was good times, I did my work but it was like my part-time job and "apologizing for English" I was giving little English lessons all the time and I felt fortunate to be able to help ... not the attitude a mainlander would have.... in fact I found myself defending my Viet and Cambodian co-workers to white workers in other departments, because I knew them and how hard they worked and how they worked together. Not unusual for a 40-year-old guy to sleep on a bunk bed until he got married, then he might get a whole room for his wife and himself.... these guys'n'gals work hard, you know, the way Americans are supposed to but I didn't really see them doing...

  3521. Growing up in Hawaii, one time I was waiting at a bus stop, and some "local" kids (wtf does this even mean? I was local, I'd grown up there. Oh, but I'm mostly Caucasian...) threw some rocks at me. Now, they were pretty crappy rock throwers but I was like, wtf so I threw some small rocks near them. That scared 'em off but only to go and get their parents who came around in a VW van with a few adults, ready to pound my ass into the pavement. I went into the Ching Tong Leong Store and asked them if I could use their phone (1970s) to call the police, and they didn't want to get involved, but at the mention of the police, the "locals" disappeared. So I dunno, was I supposed to catch the rocks like it's a baseball game? They weren't very dangerous; the kids were not good throwers. Maybe I should have turned it all into a joke. Or maybe I'd have gotten pounded anyway. Rough fuckin' place in the 1970s.

Let the homeless go there, free junk food so the big corp's will be on board, and most importantly, let the homeless have FREE DRUGS. 99% of 'em will never want to leave. There are shelters for elderly animals, why not a "no kill" shelter for homeless? Let them live out their lives, take their dope under a doctor's supervision, and their federal benefits will help defray expenses. Call them Happy Fun Camps.

  3540. Never had A/C in Schofield Barracks in Hawaii. Never had it at Fort Eisenhower in Georgia. Never had it in Korea. Never really noticed the lack of it, we were used to things as they were. Maybe it's that people are fatter now. I got yelled at about my weight when I was in the Army .... for being too skinny. We also used to run PT in combat boots, and at Schofield our captain had us running around with our gas masks on, shouting cadence that we worked the word "gas mask" into and ran by the officers' houses as part of our route. We thought that was kind of fun. Also he used to have us go out on a harder run every other day rather than an easier one daily - that was good training.

  3541. Hm! I've heard the name Eugene Talmadge, but I honestly thought this was going to be about Huey Long, "The Kingfish" who was coming more from the populist Left, but I think would have become a dictator except he was assassinated by a doctor he had an ongoing tiff with, with said doctor fearing Long would "out" him as being a tiny part Black. Which in the US, means you're Black. Which would have ended his career. So he ended Long. I'll have to listen to this series.

I get it. I've lived w/o running water. It's entirely possible to take care of one's pee and poo without making it a stinky mess for everyone. It's possible to keep trash policed up and keep things shipshape. Yeah it's living in "field conditions" but if you're on YouTube you can see those documentaries of people in Africa living in actual mud huts and they're spotlessly clean, their clothing and shoes look brand new. It's called giving a damn.

I remember reading or seeing on here that if you didn't stay isolated or perhaps couldn't because you lived in an apartment building, they'd swoop in and take you to a sort of camp with these rather nice modular home sort of things, and rather decent food, and you got a sort of "forced vacation" there for a week or two or three and that was that. Covid was a real trial for any system. In the US the response, largely, was "let it rip" although the educated class were trying to tell us at least we can "flatten the curve" in other words, if 2 million of us are going to die of covid, let's at least space it out so we can handle it better than their being a huge load of covid patients/deaths to deal with all at once.

  3582. Wolves will have one litter of 3-5 cubs a year, and it will often be just the "alpha" female of the pack. Pigs, we're talking 2 litters a year of 8-12 or more, plus in a herd the boar's got a few sows and they're all having litters.
    2
  3583. "The internet, is not a truck. It's a series of TUBES" This is not the best version, but it approaches the OG video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cZC67wXUTs
    2
  3584. I know it's a wonderful plan. I hope to take a nice vacation in the wonderful freed land of Gan Netanyahu or whatever its real name will be.
    2
  3585. Parker pen. There's a link below the video window to buy one, and Dr. C. get a small amount of money if you use that link.
    2
  3586. Holy shit I'm right off of Leftism, but Beard Boy is no more than a 14-year-old edgelord in middle-age. Fuc'im. There's nothing he's observed about economics that wasn't already described by more sane economists, and there's not a Marxist regime that hasn't crashed and burned.

  3587.  @hanna319  If someone is trying to destroy you like on October 7th, yes, they are Amalek.
    2
  3588. Poland's taking a hard right turn. They don't seem to have gotten the memo that they're on Ruzzia's menu next.
    2
  3589. What's this I'm hearing about how it make affect those who smoke a lot more? That would make sense since smoking is still very much in fashion in Asia. In the US where I am (California) the only people who smoke a lot are "FOB" (fresh off boat, newly immigrated) East Asians and our underclass who smoke.
    2
  3590. In the 1970s there was a very popular TV show called M*A*S*H about Army doctors in the Korean War, and they spent a fair amount of their time washing their hands fanatically, and holding extended conversations from behind cloth masks. The show was so popular that when I was in Basic Training, several of the shirts for sale at the PX had M*A*S*H on them in various designs. I am deeply ashamed of what my country is becoming.
    2
  3591. Yeah and you end up with Prince Charles and that younger, Nazi one. Case closed.
    2
  3592. Genetics and archaeology show that the Jews are native to Israel. From the river to the sea, Israel is Yehudi the Arabs, so-called "palestinians" have home countries, Jordan for most of them but they come from all over and have countries they are native to.
    2
  3593. Nowadays, under Pewtin, education == how good you are at prison tattoos.
    2
  3594. This is basically the America Trump and his followers want back.
    2
  3595. Among the underclass in the USA, well, it's like the underclass in a 1st world country 100 years ago. Floyd was 48, that's like 58 or even 68 in a true first-world country.
    2
  3596. ... but once those babies are born, well, they can grow up homeless, in poverty, etc. That's how the USA works.
    2
  3597. I dunno I'm in a commercial building and all we do is store shit. Old shit too. Obscure stuff, sold at deal prices with all the dust you can eat!
    2
  3598. Sorry but replacing a democracy with a white ethnostate where any non-Aryans are destined for a life of slavery or for the crematoria is not anything I'd fight for but I'll sure fight against.
    2
  3599. Sparklers provided by Felon Musk. This is ... excellent. BTW it's amazing how easily cars - all cars - burn. I saw a video on YouTube where a guy set a car on fire, it was caught on a Ring camera or something, showed a guy on a bike stopping to, from the looks of it, put a little gasoline or Coleman fuel or lighter fluid, anyway something flammable, on a car, basically on the folded windshield wiper area, and I was thinking, "That's not gonna do anything" but sure enough, that small amount of fluid, what you could carry in a drink cup, was enough to burn and destroy the car (small SUV by the looks of it) so it was a successful carbecue.
    2
  3600. I had Prime, I got rid of it. I was paying in more than I was saving, and buying shit I didn't need or that was cheaper locally. I still go to Whole Foods a lot, but the stuff I buy there isn't typically discounted on Prime or I just don't care. The $7 I paid for a slice of pizza and a beer today was probably a loss leader.
    2
  3601. Absolutely agree. In the US we tend to judge other cultures by their technology, and normally the cultures of Polynesia are considered "primitive" because after all, they're Stone Age cultures but they invented some really cool modern stuff like the compression or piston lighter, and discovered and cultivated kava, which is much better than alcohol and can help you get off of alcohol and stay off.
    2
  3602. Food's insanely cheap in the UK and now I find parking is too?
    2
  3603. So a middle-class white guy with a nice house, not hurting, but decided he has to bomb an AT&T building where he thought they were storing "all the 5G" and in fact hasn't been used in quite a white.
    2
  3604. There's a "sub-reddit" on a web site called Reddit, for those who have it or think they do. https://www.reddit.com/r/COVID19positive/
    2
  3605. I've been on Ebay for 20+ years and well ... So they make "6 figures" that's 100k. So they're grossing $100k, good for them. Their net is going to be more like $50k, and that's two people. Min. wage at regular job would get them that, with benefits if they worked anywhere decent. It's a hard, underpaid, way to make a living and only for those with no other alternative.
    2
  3606. What he brings up about the sensitivity of the PCR test is something I've been thinking too. A good analogy might be the traces of cocaine supposedly found on all US paper money. So a guy dies, they test I dunno his wallet or something, and say "Aha! He was abusing cocaine"
    2
  3607. yep no one but the really wealthy can afford to get tested in the US - we're a capitalist shithole. I probably had SARS in 2003 and just stayed in bed for two weeks when I wasn't blowing tons of blood out of my nose, and I got better. No testing, it was up to me to live or die. The revolution is coming and we're sharpening our pitchforks out here, bastards.
    2
  3608. In LOSE-iana yeah....
    2
  3609.    They've been talking about "mining" those nodules since the 1950s.
    2
  3610. Wait what? "Annual medical checkup"? Only the wealthy get those in the USA.
    2
  3611. I'm all for it.
    2
  3612. The "West Bank" has a name. It's Judea just sayin'
    2
  3613. All if this stuff is 10X worse in the USA. Please, China, do not become like the USA.
    2
  3614. New immigrants have intact family structures and help each other out, in-family and among a large network of friends, relatives, they'll even team up to make networks for mutual aid. This encourages raising children. By the 3rd generation they're fully Americanized which means dog-eat-dog, everyone's on their own, and there's no reward, only drawbacks to even having one kid. Why have even one kid when if you run into trouble no one will help you and you'll end up out on the street?
    2
  3615. Oh hellz yes! Xmas decorations all year, trash all over the yard .... the funny thing is, one podunk place I lived, they used to mount their mailboxes on a sort of inverted-L shaped pipe, so when the mailbox was clobbered by a car the pole would just rotate and could be rotated back.
    2
  3616. I was in Georgia for the Olympic trials leading up to the 1996 Olympics and once you got away from the city at all .... it was like .... Hollywood could not come up with crudely-lettered and mis-spelled signs, crude depictions of eagles, etc., as primitive as I saw.
    2
  3617. Poor guy probably thought it was a feral pig - and invasive species - he was shooting at.
    2
  3618. You're catching on, aren't you?
    2
  3619. Yep high sugar, high carb, "Low-Fat" etc. The lectures by Jason Fung on YouTube here are good on this subject.
    2
  3620. Wow. I'm in the US and we're not to the point of reporters getting their houses firebombed, at least not yet.
    2
  3621. The best thing for the American people is for countries like Mexico to become more wealthy and to provide better lives for their people. They're only fleeing to the US because things are so bad there now.
    2
  3622. The more I learn about Xi the more I like him. The Chinese have been studying their Marx and everyone should. Capitalism is a money-pump that pumps the money into a smaller and smaller elite, and impoverishing the masses more and more. And, capitalism requires a "reserve army of the unemployed" AKA the poor and homeless so much in evidence in places like the US. Study Marx - the old guy was a genius and forecast all of this.
    2
  3623. I think he even struggles with that. Hence all his malapropisms and gaffes and well, going ad-lib and saying the quiet part out loud.
    2
  3624. Henry Ford was good at one thing - cars. His 1930s book "My Life And Work" is free online and even with Ford not being a great writer, it's a great read. He found bankers ... puzzling. And frustrating. It wasn't about Jews as the banks in the US were run by WASPS not Jews. Ford didn't like the bankers' tricks. Now, Ford, because he had a lot of Eastern European workers, had an Eastern European guy supervising and in charge of security and that guy was anti-Semitic. So he rattled on about it a lot to Ford and Ford was kind of like, "Hm, sounds like it kinda makes sense" since he was a car guy, not a psychologist. By the time he'd written "My Life And Work" he'd realized anti-Semitism was pretty dumb.
    2
  3625. I refuse to do banking any way but face-to-face and I get paper statements every month. My bank account's taken a hit due to paying taxes and buying some musical instruments (that I can make money with) and I have some cash but I'm considering stacking some silver.
    2
  3626. This from a guy who's far more invested in China than the USA. The 'Rump paid $750 tax in the US and about $200k in China.
    2
  3627. Rush has been campaigning for a white ethnostate for decades so of course the present administration loves him.
    2
  3628.  @Steven-sy8mn  You spelled Moshe wrong but U do U.
    2
  3629. VOTE. It's not just about the president, it's local candidates.
    2
  3630.  @GorgeousRoddyChrome  Hahaha I used to have a small shop in the little complex behind the 7-11 with the Jackass Bar one muddy field away. My old shop's a driving school last time I checked. The flea market used to be great and I wonder if the old gun runners are still around?
    2
  3631. This is the wrong time to worry about this with a pandemic going on and an economy that's shite. But suing your parents for money also? Hm, I dunno, I think a guy can always find some casual work or fish/forage or something and keep themselves fed, clothes etc. Even in the worst time of the recession I was always able to hustle up something.
    2
  3632.  @jimmypardee3275  That's why I advise her to divorce and take the guy for all you can.
    2
  3633.  @katherineayers5586  In the US we have a center-right party and a far-right party.
    2
  3634. I dunno I consider this plane and the P51 to be equally schmexy.
    2
  3635. This is how you tell Corey gets questions from Americans. And for the record, American Christians don't read the thing either, they get their doctrine from whatever is their favorite multi-millionaire grifting mega-church leader.
    2
  3636.  @lynnmcnamara2342  Except they're not going to end up in Venezuala. No one is. Venezuela will simply not give landing permission to the plane. Hitler had ideas like this too. He wanted to send Jews elsewhere, but no one wanted to take in tons of immigrants when it was obvious the world would soon be at war. So Hitler set up camps and ended up with either work camps where they'd work you to death or death camps where it was straight through the process to the chimneys.
    2
  3637. People light their tapwater in some parts of the US. Some say it's for safety, some say it's just for fun.
    2
  3638. "Them folks" who? Americans? Please clarify?
    2
  3639. Fascinating! Bodybuilders at least used to, restrict salt to "cut" (get bodyfat down so far that the muscles show up well) and it's pretty well established that they're really not all that healthy, now we have an idea why.
    2
  3640. The Russian mob are getting impatient with him, he owed them and he's gonna die in some uniquely painful way if he doesn't keep his payments up.
    2
  3641. Donnie Dumpo just revealed that yes, he was that kid who was caught nibbling on a cat turd out of the litter box.
    2
  3642. Exactly. I didn't realize this is a pro-Hamas channel. Unsubscribing.
    2
  3643. The key to understanding the orcs is to know they are Dark Ages, medieval people. The poisonings, the contests of power between the king (pewtin) and the more powerful and uppity barons, the poisoning or defenestrating (means throwing out of a window) of rivals or anyone the king doesn't like, this is all textbook medieval behavior.
    2
  3644. She's always been a right winger.
    2
  3645. Yeah me too. Got pretty sick.
    2
  3646. That gal was crawling zombie-style over broken glass through a window, probably blasted out of her mind on meth or ketamine or something, was wearing a damn Trump flag as a cape. Nothing of value was lost.
    2
  3647.  @JeroenBIG  That's a strange superpower but could come in handy sometime.
    2
  3648. Flyover country - not even once.
    2
  3649. Send the fakestinians there.
    2
  3650. I'm really hoping for Kerry but Walz seems like a very good choice also.
    2
  3651. Actually they had to fly the routes to keep the routes ... look it up ... plus as a pilot you have to put in hours flying to stay certified.
    2
  3652. Exactly. I have to laugh or I'll have to cry. The US choosing the stupidest state and giving is huge political sway.
    2
  3653. At the demonstrations I was at, masks were universal, we were outdoors, kept apart pretty well, and when I thought things might get rambunctious due to opportunists and agent-provocateurs, I slid outtta there.
    2
  3654. Jews living in Judea?? Oh! Dear! Where's my fainting couch!
    2
  3655. 9/10ths of homeless don't "look" homeless. They stay neat and clean, living in their car or in a friend's garage or backyard or something, use a gym for showers, work a job or two or three like the rest of us, and are just ... normal. The obviously homeless have ... problems. They need to be rounded up and put into camps where they're either rehabilitated or if they're resistant to that, at least they can live in a place that's not out on the street.
    2
  3656.  @SkipAd_Vegas  Me too. It dismays me to hear of this happening on my home island.
    2
  3657. I'm going to buy a lot of beers for people when that happens and I don't even drink!
    2
  3658. Flying used to be for the elite, and most people traveled by car or train or bus. I used to fly a bit in the 90s and I swear, I'd always catch something.
    2
  3659. I'm on the young end of boomer and my parents were Silent Generation. So they remembered the tail-end of the Depression and the WWII years and while they didn't grow up poor, they grew up with things you just took for granted knowing how to do. Hem pants or skirts. Sew on buttons. Fix flats on bicycles. Keep a lawnmower running. Change oil and belts in the car. Control weeds. Just all sorts of handy things; you were expected to be handy.
    2
  3660. Or a wedding party. Or a barbershop. Or something.
    2
  3661. Talk about how the shooter is really a wonderful guy.
    2
  3662. Even when it's cloudy and stormy that seashore there is absolutely beautiful. Laguna started out as an artists' colony back in the 1930s.
    2
  3663. Up the street from where I work is a place that rents out equipment, trailers and forklifts and such things. It's called Dahl's. I first learned about it when I asked my boss where he got the trailer he had that weekend from. "I got it from dolls", I thought I heard him say. "Dolls???" was my reply. "Yeah, Dahl's!" that's when the penny dropped. So there are a few Dahls/dolls around ....
    2
  3664. He's pretty desperate these days.
    2
  3665. This is the way. It's time for the rich to stop paying $0 taxes and laughing at everyone else.
    2
  3666. And people wonder why in the US we're so keen on owning guns.
    2
  3667. TJ's is nasty anyway. Rocks in the nuts and seeds, etc. recalls all the time ... plus they're very, VERY anti-union.
    2
  3668. All the techbros back to making the world worse.
    2
  3669. Not only is this Reddit dude, Swatch or whatever his name is, Abercrombie & Fitch'ing his site, but this is the Huffington Post all over again. Internet ancients like myself will remember this, that Ariana Huffington promised content makers on the 'Post that they'd be paid, or get stock, or some kind of return on their effort and when she went public with it and cashed in they were left high and dry.
    2
  3670. No money there's welfar and drugs, it works for these types in the Southwest. Also see the big island of Hawaii, Puna/Pahoa district.
    2
  3671. Yeah democrats like Reagan ... gotta a Mensa member here.
    2
  3672. Get 70,000 people together for something and a death or two is routine. Work the numbers. And the death was a traffic accident - that's what's not being talked about because dying or being horribly maimed in traffic is normalized in the US.
    2
  3673. It's not LeMELL, it's Lemell'lee. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laemmle_Theatres or even Lem'lee.
    2
  3674. Also even a small piece of debris can take the drone down so it's just good policy.
    2
  3675. Let's hope. Best kind of rightist is the dead kind.
    2
  3676. You understand that we in the US have effectively voted the syphilis spirochete into our Presidency right?
    2
  3677. I'm waiting for ol' Dumpo to say he never shits, like Kim Jong Eun.
    2
  3678. In the US, construction workers tend to all drink tons of alcohol or take tons of drugs or ... all of it. They are not good examples of social enlightenment.
    2
  3679. More like on the roll. When she says she's gonna roll by McDonald's, she means she's really gonna roll by McDonald's.
    2
  3680. Bet your dad was actually Jewish...
    2
  3681. Where books burn, people will soon burn also. - Someone. Book burning is back, lynching is back, segregation and sundown-towns are back, anti-Semitism is back with a roar, have you been asleep since 2016? It's all back.
    2
  3682. Which is why Israel is trying to get the land back. Stop Arab colonialism!
    2
  3683. Except Florida's like 1/5th the cost and the Baja Peninsula's like 1/10th the cost...
    2
  3684. What's funny is, the 'Rump actually cheats like hell at golf.
    2
  3685. If you read the Torah .... he kinda is.
    2
  3686. Wait until they find out most of the Arizona workforce are druggies, drunks, ex-cons.
    2
  3687. Russia does not exist. Russia ceased to exist when the USSR came in. Russia died with the Czar. The USSR didn't have Russia in the name anywhere. Putin is using the word Russia incorrectly. The correct name for his little gangster territory is muscovia. It's a small, backward, shithole country that's essentially living the the Dark Ages.
    2
  3688. That's some nice slide playing. People love to hear some good slide, and I'll always toss a buck or two.
    2
  3689. Yep. RICO act. This is a textbook case.
    2
  3690. The current US leadership, headed by Komrade Krasnov is indeed on the side of Russia but the US military doesn't do stupid shit like this.
    2
  3691. Wait, why is no one smelling the tons of Ben-Gay and asking the pt. about it? It's a distinctive smell.
    2
  3692. I feel the same about my maternal great grandparents leaving Lithuania. Everything I've heard about it says it's a shithole.
    2
  3693. I'm reading the parsha every week and man .... each one's got a zinger in there my rabbi (Reform) doesn't talk about but it's in there, in the word of G-d in the Torah.
    2
  3694. But traitors are. "All enemies, foreign and domestic"
    2
  3695. It's actually encoded into law that they're supposed to get the death penalty.
    2
  3696. I've had a bit of something, some intestinal issues, sore through, dry cough, etc yadda yadda .... feel over it now. Since in the US you can't get tested unless you're very sick or very rich, I'll probably never know.
    2
  3697. I used to buzz/clip my own hair years ago, and I'm back to it now, got some nice clippers on order and I just did, about a week ago, a better trim with my little beard trimmer than I've been paying money for. It's really nice to just sit down at a barber's and have them do it, but like WWI made self-shaving more popular, I suspect this is going to make doing your own haircuts more popular too.
    2
  3698. Oh, that's terrible! Anyway ... Wait, why the fuc' are charging stations able to burn at all? Is anything made by Tesla just highly flammable?
    2
  3699. Canada already has.
    2
  3700. That's only the worst cheapie brand of natto they're eating, and no it's not stinky. The natto with that lady's face on it, is very meh. There are better ones - one is in an orange package with what looks like a big bean with Japanese characters in it, and another brand I call "smiling Daruma" because it has a little character that looks like, well, a smiling Daruma. But don't get "smiling Daruma" - Hokkaido because that one has a lot of sugar in it for some reason.
    2
  3701. Oh, you! I wonder if that's the Secret Service's code name for El Dumpo?
    2
  3702. Yep they'll go after big fish. Little fish ... nah not really.
    2
  3703. They're anchored and have to actually allow X ship-lengths between them, because they can swing around etc.
    2
  3704. Hawaii and New York probably have the greatest percentages of Asians. Superior culture. NY has Jews also, and Hawaii is, surprisingly, a far more "Jewish" place than anywhere on the mainland I've experienced (not been to NY) so there's also that. In other words, the places least burdened by "Western" culture.
    2
  3705. The South pretty much invented the modern concentration camp https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCAXfdSv4tw There's a book written in 1955 that I read back in the 80s, about Andersonville when it was first set up and used as a concentration camp. It was horrifying.
    2
  3706. I don't think any of this will seem weird to anyone unfortunate enough to be living in the US and following US politics.
    2
  3707. And Viva Israel!
    2
  3708. Ukraine will be a member of NATO soon and Finland just joined. Turkey is also a NATO member, Poland too. What unites them all? Hatred of the orcs.
    2
  3709. I'm in "Silicon Valley" and make $300 a week. I'm making a lot more than tons of people here. There's a huge, huge poor/underclass here. There's no testing, only access to a dr. or hospital is to go to the ER, and for a lot of people they have to go out to work because no work = no money and non money = you have to go live under a bridge. Most of the US really is third-world.
    2
  3710. Her parents are like American parents.
    2
  3711. Now we need some even better guys with big nets to round up these dangerous crazies and put them in an asylum. It's that or vigilante justice.
    2
  3712.  @nalilfriend9923  I bet his couch is glad he's out on the road.
    2
  3713.  @samlsd9711  I'm part Tatar which makes me sort of half-assedly part Asian, and I don't get what's wrong with people, they keep thinking I'm like 20 years younger than I am. I keep looking in the mirror and keep seeing an old guy, but I seem to throw mainland US'ians off.
    2
  3714.  tyler norton  That 27% probably is counting 9-11 by body count,. because actual Islamic terrorism is vanishingly small in the US other than that one event.
    2
  3715. I love drones, however on my low income I can't afford to get into the hobby, for fortunately there are tons of drone videos people put on here for me to enjoy.
    2
  3716. EHHHHHHHHH you lose. I've lived in Red areas on the mainland and I'll take HI any time.
    2
  3717. Leaded gas, about a two pack a day cig habit, and plentiful drinking will do it.
    2
  3718. The guy's got a rap sheet like a CVS receipt.
    2
  3719. Well, he told them to inject bleach and eat ivermectin...
    2
  3720.  @FourOneZeroSevenThreeFive  Uhh, pretty much no one is getting to the US from Cuba these days, and certainly not flown.
    2
  3721. You have to look close because they're pretty small.
    2
  3722.  @SilverJ17  I was a gun-nut of the first water in the 80s and 90s and was one of those horrible single-issue voters. These days I'm still a gun nut, and am a sworn Communist. Come on in, the water's fine! www.socialistRA.org

  3723. I know! Kid, you had one job...

  3724. I knew some people who owned one of the nicest houses, looking right over Newport Harbor where the boats go in and out. They were .... beekeepers. Before that I knew a guy who had a house like that too, just a half block north maybe, and I dunno what he did in life but he was very blue-collar. I mean he probably sold nuts and washers or something. College is a huge scam.

  3725. Aha I knew I'd seen it before when I saw good old Dr. Worm. He's interested in things, and likes to play the drums. He thinks he's getting but he can handle criticism...

  3726.  @ln6593  You don't know much about New Zealanders, Malaysians, or for that matter, Swiss, do you? Look up William Tell. The Swiss live in an utter fortress, prepared to blast with dynamite every road and railroad crossing. They're armed to the teeth with mandatory military service. I wish Israel would be more "Swiss" in this regard but recent events I think are waking them up.

  3728. Boy have you lost the script. American Christianity worships a guy like Hitler, or these days, the best they can get is Low-Budget Orange Hitler, but they sure worship him. Can you honestly say you never saw the golden statue of Trump? The convention stage in the shape of an Odinist/white supremacist rune?

  3732. OK so let's send some Abrams tanks over there if it makes the Germans feel better. I can understand it, there's history, Germany alone against Russia arouses some bad memories. The Germans want it to be a group effort. So it's not like the US has a lack of Abrams tanks, send some on over and who knows, they might come in handy (like be able to take over duties closer to the supply chain they'll need, freeing up other tanks to be out where the supply chain is simpler).

  3733. I went to public schools in Hawaii. Locals of Japanese descent are the ruling class there, and the schooling I got was very bad. WWII was not even taught about. Never a peep! There was nothing at all about the war in the Pacific, and if it weren't for movies and series on TV that my mother was big on having us watch, I don't think I'd have learned about WWII or slavery or the Holocaust, or any of these major things, at all.

  3737.  @nsebast  I'd put my money on China becoming the world dominant power. It may not be in my lifetime, but mark my words. I am a white American, and white American culture is nothing compared to Confucianisn and Buddhism. White American families don't help each other, at all. A white American will sell their own mother if the pay's right. The weak are held in contempt, the old, the very young, etc. We have around 25% of children in the US living in poverty. A nation of extreme individuals is hardly a nation at all.
    2
  3738. Donnie Dumpo owes some very scary people - Pewtin and his cronies - a lot of money and it's been looking like a payment is due. Donnie is desperate enough for money to pay to stay alive that he's willing to "cry wolf" and risk losing credibility, he's that desperate.

  3745. Within the same hour of listening to the radio this morning, there are something like 18-20+ MILLION people in danger of actually starving to death in I dunno, Congo or Yemen or somewhere, and here in the US, no one cares. But a Jew sneezes and it's outrage.

  3748. Just be kind, decent, and humble and you'll shine. This goes for any country, at least that I've experienced, but if you're at least making a sincere effort at the local language, it's very much appreciated. Plus, there's the useful concept of "gaijin smash" - you're sort of allowed to break some rules because you can be excused for doing so because you didn't grow up with them.

  3749. Ethnic cleansing, yes, by the Arabs who pogrom'd almost a million Jews out of the greater Middle East. Germans who 1933-1945 tried to kill off all the Jews. By hatred of Jews all over the world. So yes, it caused the Jewish people *to return to their native land yes indeed.

  3755. Iran was a modern country at one time. My father worked there for some years. It was a nice place with nice people. He said he missed it, when he had to leave when the Shah had to leave also. We need to topple the Dark Ages regime that's in charge there now and put the Pahlavis back in power.

  3758. College is a HUGE fucking scam!!! I say, the only difference between my going to college and going on a 10-year meth bender is, I still have my teeth. I'd have done better in life just taking my GED and going to work for my local supermarket chain, "Foodland" and staying with them 4 lyfe. College. Destroys. Lives A second best plan would have been to go to college all right, but go for music instead of stupid high-tech bullshit like I did. Because no matter what instrument, or voice, you study for a music degree, they make you learn plenty of piano, and one thing my home state's got, it's whorehouses. And whorehouses always need piano players. That's a far more solid occupation than the low-paid precarious joke that is high tech. Right now, I am a self-taught trumpet player. Self-taught trumpet players are notorious for being pretty awful, and I'll say I'm not awful, but I'm not excellent either. But, at least before the virus came along, I was making more playing trumpet on the street than in my day job in, you guessed it, high tech.

  3760. You should not take anything that comes from the inner circle in the US White House seriously. Really the best parallel is how 1940s Germany had some very good scientists, but the inner crowd in the Reichstag had such weird beliefs as a hollow earth, and that if you bred a pure enough white person, they'd be able to fly and have ESP.

  3770. The 2016 election was won for ills by 2-3 million votes. Due to the electoral congress, AKA pandering to inbreds out in the sticks, the election was "won" by 60 thousand votes. Voter repression was rampant. Voter intimidation was rampant. Working-class voters having to wait for HOURS in line was routine.

San Jose California the SAP Center has testing until 7PM, I had about 45 minutes' wait in line, the nurse with the swab didn't go in very far at all (honestly my finger's been in further) and you just have to fill out a little paperwork. And you'll get a bobblehead! This is going on tomorrow, and some time on Saturday I believe, and I have a feeling they'll keep it up because just like with AIDS, we need more testing.

  3787. There was some liquor company that put out all these ceramic liquor bottles in all kinds of outlandish shapes, like cats, dogs, golf club and ball, you get the idea. I tried selling a bunch of these at a flea market and no one wanted 'em. So I was driving home and stopped at a garage sale and there were a bunch of those out front at the garage sale (the people were inside their house, maybe for a break) so I sneakily took mine and put them with theirs and took off! Imagine the people coming out and finding 2X the ceramic liquor bottle figurines! I'm still laughing!

  3788. All Quiet On The Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque talks about it, both how hard it was on the economy and the difficulty of obtaining not only food but all sorts of things like boots, and the "consumption" of fighting-age men and general demoralization. He actually wrote a series of books, and I hope to read his "sequals" also - he was a very good writer. Needless to say, the Nazis hated him.

  3791. I used to be pals with a guy in Gilbert, Arizona, which is one of the wealthiest cities in that state. I happened to be at his house when one of his kids came home from high school and was telling him about her day ... all about the neat "Nazi club" one of the teachers set up, for after-school. She was really glad to be in it, and my friend seemed to be OK with this. Keep in mind a lot of wealthy Germans with "von" in their name, loved the Nazi regime and joined enthusiastically.

    2
  3798. There is something very deep going on here. Capitalism does not like the fact that the Chinese have a well-developed group of cuisines that require dedication to get good at preparing. Capitalism does not like people eating socially, perhaps taking an hour or more to eat, while they socialize also. Capitalism wants people to eat quickly, alone, and with as little human contact as possible both in the preparation and the eating of food. Under capitalism "food is just fuel", as the American/European saying goes.

  3802. I dunno, the 70's sucked ass. We went from middle-class to poor, food stamps, etc., and no one helped anyone unless it was to take advantage. I think the last good generation in the US was the "Greatest" or "G.I. Joe" generation that matured in the Great Depression and fought in WWII.

  3803. Pro-Palestine is pro-Satan. And as for BLM, well, I went to the demonstrations, I said his name, I did the things. And I saw in quick succession, blacks decide that attacking Asians is really cool, and the leader of the BLM movement took off with the money and bought herself a huge house. If you have to ask where my sentiments lie, I can only reply, Am Israel Chai.

  3805. Look into how Hitler, not born in Germany (he was Austrian) got into power in Germany. He got permission to co-run Germany with the old and senile Hindenbrg. In this case, Trump is the old and senile Hindenberg, and Musk, not born in the US, is the new Hitler - younger, smarter, more ruthless. In the same way Hindenberg was shuffled out of the way, Trump will be shuffled out of the way. Then it'll be Musk as President for however long the guy lives. Hitler was 50 when he attained power, Musk is what, in his 50s?

  3806. Just learn to buzz it close. It's not very hard.

  3807. Immigrants tend to come from countries with at least a memory of a social consciousness and a social safety net. The regime they may be fleeing, 99.9% of the time a US-installed one, may be brutal, but they have "dangerous ideas" of actually living in a society instead of as a lone individual and the US/capitalism hates that.
    2
  3808. About writing about the Great War, you can't go wrong with All Quiet On The Western Front its author, Erich Maria Remarque, wrote 3 more books, each about a subsequent portion of his life after the war. The book's been made into a movie a few times over but make no mistake: the very best one is the one with Ernest Borgnine in it, that one's a banger.

  3812. I remember the year we had a picture of a trash can with a hole blown in it by one of these "mad bombers" and it was put in the high school yearbook! There was also a picture of the principal, putting her dirty lunch tray in the can, but something about the picture, it kinda looked like she was taking the tray out of the trash can ... but yeah, fireworks are just part of life in Hawaii. I loved Chinese New Year as a kid and all the red confetti in the streets the morning after from all the firecrackers. Hawaii is a real outlier as a state.

  3821. At least I'm in far better shape in that I'm not in any debt, have savings, and am only a couple of years out from retiring. Plus I've gotten much better at living on very little, as living in Silicon Valley will teach you. I actually grossed about $18k last year which is a lot of money here, and have saved about a third of it.

  3823. Keep in mind "the media" are part of the 1%, and those few who are not paid enough to be in the 1% are pretty devoted bootlickers, hoping to make it into "the club". Of course they're going to pander to the moneyed, no matter how disgusting they are.

  3824. Amazing! In the USA you'd be called "homeless" and sent to prison. And college would eject you etc.

  3840.  @Madamchief  My local Whole Foods has a code-entry thing. Which you can get the code by either asking at Customer Service where they'll eye you up and down and I guess if you're suitable, they'll give you it. Or you can walk up a double flight of stairs and the current code is on the wall in the beer bar up there. No problem for me, because I'm pretty physically fit. I guess if I were in a wheelchair, I'd just ask at Customer Service - they do have a nice big handicap stall in the bathroom.

  3844. I was a 70s kid so no video games, but I knew they had M16's in the Army so it was no surprise when they handed me one. And walked me through that Oh-so-slow and deliberate Army way, exactly how to form the correct shooting position. Now, being left-handed and right-eyed, I had a shooting position of my own I'd come up with as a kid and was a dead shot with a pellet gun but that position was crazy. When I learned the proper way, snuggled up to that M16, I felt as comfy as a cat in front of the fireplace. I think my Basic Training was 'way easier than it must have been for earlier generations, because the M16 and its ammo were light and easy to carry.

  3845. I'm in San Jose (Bay Area) and was downtown in the early evening yesterday and it was dead, dead, dead. It might as well have been a Monday night. That's Saturday Night up here now I guess.

What they're doing will look like horrible to American economists because Americans and American economists especially, are all about riding capitalism all the way to the lowest circle of hell.

  3862. I want to caution you that Wikipedia can not be considered the at least fairly unbiased source it was even a few years ago. The far-right as well as the far-left have been allowed to pretty much write fiction on there, and it stands. This means that the Posse Comitatus guy's house being shot up may or may not have actually happened. I'd be really cautious about anything even vaguely political on Wikipedia. Likewise, the far-left have gotten in there and their coverage of anything having to do with Jews or Israel makes them sound worse than ISIS (this is even happening on National Public Radio) so be careful of your sources to keep your reporting at a high level in these times.

When/where I went to high school, there was the yearly tour of the local sugar mill (across the street, basically) with the idea of inspiring students, if you were a good student maybe you'd get a job there. That "sugar in the raw" you find in stores is sugar-mill sugar, that smell/taste is exactly what a sugar mill smells like. Nostalgia in a packet for me.

  3872. That surfboard that broke in half is easily 50 years old so no great loss. Foodland in Hawaii is like Safeway on the mainland. Kind of the big major supermarket chain. I worked for them a bit as a young adult. As always, if you insist on eating like a mainlander, food's gonna be expensive and if you eat like a local it will cost a lot less. The catch here is I don't know how to learn to eat like a local unless you grow up in Hawaii among local people.

  3880. I'm not finding gas prices to be that much trouble. I hauled a 40lb package to FedEx today as well as taking a few small ones to the post office, on my bicycle + cargo trailer. Also found some useful packing materials and boxes, my favorite kind of shipping stuff - phree! I know gas prices ripple through the whole economy and in a way higher gas prices even affect those of us for whom a motor vehicle is about as affordable as a moon rocket. But I just do a lot more cooking at home, do laundry at home with a sort of plunger arrangement I set up, saving me a good $30-$40 a month, do my own haircuts amounting to about $20 a month, and so on. A lot of this is due to adapting to staying away from crowds due to covid, but covid's helped a lot of people prepared for Great Depression II lol.

  3881. You've probably heard of the "Rodney King Riots" in Los Angeles, and a white truck driver, Reginald Denny, who was dragged out of his truck and beaten up. Well, who rescued him were a couple of black truck drivers who saw it on the news and to them, what mattered was he was another trucker - his color didn't matter, he was a trucker. And they went in and scooped him up. I grew up in Hawaii where being white-passing at least, I was near although not at, the bottom of the social hierarchy. But it's been 40 or even 50 years since the bad old days, and these days I find I've gravitated to the city that's the #1 place on the mainland US for people from Hawaii to move to, and these days well ... I'm a member of the local Buddhist temple, getting back in touch with the food tastes I grew up with which are largely Japanese, and am really doing my best to discard the deep and strong resentments I had in the past. The rinban (head honcho) of the temple grew up where I lived for many years, and I've had the pleasure of hearing the owner of the Nichi-Bei store tell one of her employees "He's more Japanese than we are!" because I was relating some of the things I grew up knowing, like why we fly paper carp on Boys' Day and so on. You stick with the nation-state of California and you''ll be all right. There's an ugly sort of white ethno-nationalism brewing in the "flyover" states but just avoid them. Although I grew up in Hawaii from the age of 5, I was born here in California and you are welcome here and it doesn't matter if you're white, black, brown, Muslim or Baha'i or atheist, you are all welcome here in California.

  3887. "Palestinians" is a name the Arabs chose for themselves in the 1960s. It turns out the whole body of thought our extreme Left in the US is going by, was come up with by the USSR. The "Not anti semitic, anti-zionist" line, that concept that somehow Jews returning to their native land are "evul white oppressors" etc. The reason for this was, Stalin recognized Israel when it became a modern state, but the idea was that Israel would be part of the Soviet bloc. Instead, they were much more allied with the West and thus Stalin put his best propaganda-writers to work trashing Israel. Right now my plans are to go there myself in 2-3 years, and try to make myself somewhat useful to the place.

  3893. Sort of how the right-wing in the US wants to amp up what's already in effect in the US. The US is not officially a Protestant Christian nation but they want it to be so. They don't want systems beside capitalism to be allowed to even think about, and to institute a racial caste system with whites at the top. If you ask most Americans now, they'll tell you we're a Christian nation as if it's in law, that capitalism is "the" only economic system that works, that whites are the smartest and best, and so on.

  3894. You can throw in Pol Pot, Mao, Ceaucescu, Idi Amin, any dictator in fact. The US has dodged having a dictator in the past, Huey Long got shot, "The Businessmens' Plot" got blown open by Smedley Butler, Charles Lindbergh, an enthusiastic Nazi, wasn't that much of a speaker and his child being abducted sort of took the wind out of him. Our system is being tested as never before, now. Get out and vote!

For many of us, far better to spend some years in a refugee camp somewhere that's not the US than to be sent to a death camp inside the US.

He had that to pay for, plus a special needs kid he wanted to get a good chance at life and that's not cheap either.

  3900. I remember reading some classic science fiction book, written by I think Arthur C. Clarke but it may have been by one of the other classic authors, but yep, you get the standard apocalypse and a small number of people left, and the "Professor" of their Gilligan's Island-esque group says he's really glad one of them is black for the genetic diversity. That's pretty much how it works, too. If you're going to rebuild from a handful of people, ideally you'd have one from each continent/subcontinent.

I was listening to some show on NPR and it was something like, two black ladies in Russia or somewhere and one was going to intimidate the waiter into giving them another drink for free or some damn thing, and it didn't work and the 2nd one said with some shock, "They're not afraid of us here!". But better yet, if there are Nigerians running around loose in a nice country in Japan, don't go to that area!

  3913. God damn, that's California type rent. But then he might have a whole house for that. I've been working in some capacity since I was 15. There were nights my family ate because I'd come home with $4 or $5 from some work I'd done whether it was weeding someone's yard, cleaning, stringing necklaces to sell to the tourists, selling some artwork I'd done; I did whatever I could find. I'm gonna work until I die. I just turned 55 and I might have another 30 years. I just can't imagine not working.

  3915. One thing about Hawaii is, you can't swing a cat without hitting a cult. The place is rotten with 'em. Some are pretty well-known like the Mormons, and some less-so, like "More" or "More House" where a group would live together in a house and take turns turning all their energy/money into fulfilling each person's dreams, taking turns. Like, one guy wanted one of those mail-order TV repair courses. Then there's whatever weird cult Tulsi Gabbard is in. Scientology is big, also Theosophy, pretty much you-name-it plus you-can't-name-it.

  3927. Back in the 80s there used to be an unspoken social contract that if you worked, even if you worked less than full-time, you slept under a roof. That seemed to still be in effect in the 90s, but the 2000s is when it really changed and "the working homeless" entered our vocabulary. I think there's something like "enclosure" going on - "Enclosure" was when the serfs were kicked off of the land they lived in where they were, well, serfs, but serfs had a lot of rights and a lot of security - and less work hours and more holidays than now. They were kicked off the land so the landowners could graze sheep, because wool sold for money. These now homeless serfs went into the cities and became the proletariat Marx wrote about, and now they're us.

  3941. I think you may be missing a major point. Chris Hedges has noted that when a nation turns fascist, there's a great looking-back at a supposedly glorious past, and past achievements, whether real or not, and past grudges are brought up and amplified. You see the construction of statues of past ideal heroes that fit the fascists' ideals and this is seen everywhere fascism has occurred. Even in the US South, all those statues of Confederate generals that were in the news recently, Hedges notes, were all erected very recently. They were not holdovers left from the Civil War, but put up in recent times by the kind of people who are now teaching US school children that slavery was good for black people.

  3957. You gotta LOVE programming, be doing it before adolescence, and be somewhat of a mental freak. To give an example, I once did a sport, it really doesn't matter what sport it was, it was long ago. But I was a bit of a freak. I qualified for the national championships not even realizing the competition I'd entered was a qualifier. I went very far, very fast, having a talent PLUS I liked it enough to build to to where I was training for 5 hours a day. I saw that most people even those really interested in the sport, would work for years to just get into the nationals, and they almost certainly grew up with a better work ethic than I had. That's the average person just "learning to code". But wait, it gets worse. You pretty much need a degree these days to be a programmer. So you're going 1/4 - 1/3 of a million in debt to be a programmer. Plus, you'd better pay that degree off and make some kind of a "nut" to buy a house with and make your major life goals and yes, I mean set up for retirement too because once you're over 40 you're dog food. I'm in Silicon Valley and our light rail trains and buses are all driven by ex-programmers. The guy helping you find a hammer at Lowe's for min. wage is an ex programmer. Plus, India graduates 1 MILLION programmers a year, engineers too, and their premier school, IIT, is as good or better than MIT. Plus the rest of Asia is probably kicking in 1 million programmers a year into the world market and that means a good number want to come to the US. In fact, high wages for programmers are kind of freakish and restricted to the US. Techies in the EU and UK make 1/2 or 1/3 as much. I seriously do not recommend "learn to code" to anyone unless they like it enough that they'd do it just for the enjoyment of it.

It could be used to set up a Happy Fun Camp(tm) where the homeless can go, get 3 hots and a cot, all the junk food and drugs they want, all the trash TV they can watch, etc. It's cheaper than the way we handle them now, and they'll be happier along with us working folks being happier too.

  3975. I knew a guy who inherited $400k. He blew it all in less than 4 years and he was living where he didn't have to pay rent. He barely had to pay for food if he didn't want to. And at the time he could have bought a house with a few acres and a barn in a beautiful area (California) for a quarter-mil. But he ended up living in an old RV and then he hung himself.

  3990. Everyone say it with me now: The USSR, which accomplished this, is not modern Russia. And modern Russia is not the USSR. Modern Russia is basically like .... if the USA dissolved and "USA" became the Mafia. The USSR was far from perfect but did some pretty great things. And provided competition to capitalism, which is why life was pretty good for the average Joe in the USA because the powers-that-be in the USA had to prove they could look out for the average workingman better than the USSR did. But modern Russia is a mess, headed by a dollar-store sHitler, and governance is basically gang rule. But the USSR did some really neat stuff. They almost pulled off a Moon landing before the US and did a lot of other neat science. But USSR and modern Russia should not be spoken in the same breath.

  3994. There's no way they're feeding themselves off of that land. That would take actual organization and work, and doing said work efficiently. These people are getting food stamps, "general relief", money from family and/or friends, doing gigs online, selling drugs, who knows.

  3996.  @OceanFrontVilla3  But wait, it gets worse. Because many of us in the USA see our Evil Empire as a sinking ship and the best time to get out is a few years ago, and the 2nd best time is now. Not myself personally, but you're going to see a lot of people from the E. Empire looking to move up there.

  3997. The right wing is trying to destroy the post office. They hate the Constitution and lo and behold, establishing a postal service is in the Constitution, an idea that came from Ben Franklin, a guy the right wingers would love to imprison or shoot dead if they could. Why does the post office have to run at a profit? Do fire departments have to run at a profit now? Police forces? Libraries? Did the US postal service run at a profit during WWII when all those soldiers were writing home to their families? The US is turning so far Right it's self-destructing.

  4001. This episode is FIRE I never expected to learn who the actual writer of "The Protocols Of The Elders Of Zion" was in this. Great detective work! I remember back in the 80s moving into a small apartment complex in Orange County, and my neighbors welcoming me by giving me a copy of the "Protocols" and some other anti-Semitic stuff. It wasn't that they thought I was a Jew (I look kind of indeterminate) they were just being Orange County friendly I guess.

  4010. Compare and contrast: Worldwide Jewry is indeed a rainbow nation. Jews come in all colors from black to frog-belly white, but they have a culture, esteem for literacy and learning, esteem for self-discipline, working together, planning for the future, etc. Observing Judaism is a constant reinforcement of these values. It's remained for 1000s of years while other groups who opposed them are gone. It's not the hardware it's the software

It's my duty as a citizen living in a society. But yeah my check came toute de suite because the IRS and I correspond a lot.

  4015. Two huge differences between Japan and the US where there are so many homeless sometimes it's like a zombie apocalypse. (1) Japanese culture emphasizes being considerate of others including behavior, personal hygiene, appearance, etc. (2) Japan has reasonable drug laws. In the US, while a lot of drugs are illegal, they are effectively all legal. Anyone can go out and in about 5 minutes obtain drugs from marijuana, heroin, methamphetamine, etc. It's just no problem. The laws effectively mean nothing. The trouble with this is, these substances were not available during the time humans were evolving and humans, on average, do not do well when the substances are present in the kind of abundance they are in the USA. So that even fairly good people, who normally would not commit crimes, end up trying them and end up addicted to them, and then they are like entirely different people, committing crimes and violent acts. The situation in Japan is bad, but you are very lucky you are not in the US!!

  4022. As an American I can own a literal frigging arsenal but because I'm not of the class that gets to amass the money to buy a house or land, I'm destined to be eternally a renter (or homeless). The class system is worse in the US than in England, France, Japan, any actual first-world country. But we can sure stockpile guns!

  4023. Yeah, I've stayed in a hotel that had a small kitchen. A buddy of mine and I did that years ago, and I forget what they called it, but it had a kitchen and was bigger than a usual room. It came out cheaper overall because we could do our own cooking. And the only utensil we brought was a Ka-Bar knife. Good times.

  4024. The model I assume will be the best fit is the 1918 flu, which means 2-3 years, the 2nd wave worse, and 1-2 millions deaths in the USA. Covid will go away "mysteriously" as the 1918 flu did, and everyone will forget about it in the same way the 1918 bug was forgotten, after all there were the Roaring 20s to get on with.

  4037. I honestly don't know how more of the cultists don't look at the history we were all raised on and think, "Hey, this might not end well". Hitler's "1000-year Reich" ended in 12, with Germany defeated and millions of "pure Aryan" Germans dead. Nazism 2.0 is not looking any better, as the rest of the world will step up the ongoing walling-off of the US politically and financially, if we have a Fascist take-over in 2024. We will honestly be the baddies.

  4041. I've got a class I'm taking that I'm very serious about, so I've been making myself study by going to a coffee shop each day with my folder, and studying. The most study-conducive of the different coffee shops I go to is a chain called Paris Baguette which is really popular with Asian people but I see all types of people in there. The shops are big with tons of tables and chairs. The coffee is better than Starbucks and the pastries are amazing. I study at Starbucks also, but there are generally a few tables, at some of them the lighting isn't very good and the tables sticky, and they're not nearly as busy. Peet's is halfway inbetween. More tables and more people, coffee's kind of strong but that's what a lot of people like so I put up with it, a few pastries etc. but not really any better in that dept. than SBUX. I'm not sure if you're a coffee shop kind of guy, but if you are or you want a place to meet people at, see if you've got *Paris Baguette" in your area, it's great.

I think as long as someone's at the pulpit, and there's something like a service going on, maybe whoever's at the pulpit is speaking very, very quietly, there's very quiet, calm music playing, you know, the kind of service you could fall asleep in ... they've had to come up with people to man the pulpit through each 24 hour period. But yeah, flyover states are utter shit.

  4057. There needs to be some kind of moderation, keep things like gay rights and so on, but also absolutely keep in law that Israel is a Jewish state, must be defended, etc. I consider myself a lefty but the Pals can f*ck right off, I'd rather put my time effort and money into helping Jewish orphans etc. helping Jews make aliyah, etc.

  4058. 28:35 Ironic indeed that the Germans resented the Jews' even existing when they'd tried to wipe them all out and failed. What a bunch of bastards.

  4059. This is why the homeless need to be sent to camps, give them 24/7 trash TV, junk food, classes and arts and crafts etc., a few will want to integrate themselves back into society but for most it will be a place they can be their bummy selves while being away from decent people. Everyone will be happier.

  4063.  @MyAnchor619  In a true first-world country like Taiwan or Germany, the sacrifice would not be nearly as great. People would not lose their entire livelihood and housing and end up homeless on the street, as they will in the millions in the US.

  4064. Pewtin's plan is to first kill every Ukrainian man, woman, and child and take over Ukraine. Then take over other countries like Moldova, Belarus, the Baltics, Poland, and so on. He's stated so several times. The Ukrainians are fighting not only for their own existence but for Europe as a whole.

  4073.  @kathleenhillock9366  Basketball actually is a lot of really good exercise in a pretty small space. It was originally invented as a thing to play indoors over cold Midwest winters. I'd also say that each town ought to have their soccer pitch, as it's such a simple, elegant sport; really the sport of the people. But yeah golf, those courses are going to make some great farms.

  4074. He might have done a lot more accurately with an AR10 which is the .308 version, and still be able to be broken down into 2 pieces for transport, unlike for instance the civilian M14. You'd want to do lots of training and figure out what ammo works best, Lake City Match might not work as accurately as something else. Competitive rifle shooters do a lot of range time and lot testing, and even their own loading.

  4089. It sounds like the vodka-infused orc flying the plane did a near-miss, a thing orcs have been doing for decades with planes, ships, submarines etc. That model of drone is very good at what it's meant to do, but it's like a flimsy Cessna with regard to being able to fight. That's not what it's built for. Bringing one down is pretty meh.

  4092. Yep they're a fictional ethnicity. They're really Arabs/Jordanians. Except Jordan doesn't want them, no one does. In the US, in the city of Prescott, Arizona, a bunch of white guys got together (this is decades ago) and made up an Indian tribe and claimed they were members of this tribe, and they got approached for aid and all that, it was all a joke but apparently they got at least some people to think this tribe was real. They called themselves the "Smoki" tribe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoki_Museum

  4093. You're certainly a co-conspirator. That's how they got Charles Manson although it was only his followers who did the physical acts. And before anyone things I'm comparing Trump the Charles Manson, hell now - Charles Manson is smarter, more polite, better-looking, more honest, etc.

  4094. I love Corey's videos not only for the dialog but also the views of regular street life in Israel. I'm in one of the wealthiest parts of the US ("Silicon Valley") and I'm continually astounded at the lack of homeless, beggars, druggies passed out on the sidewalk, etc.

  4103.  @pchoice0  The reason to wear a mask is to protect others from spit particles you spray out when you breathe, sneeze etc. It's also good for reminding yourself not to touch your face. Even tying a bandana around your mouth like a bandit in an old Western movie is much better than not wearing a mask.

  4104. The 1970s were the hungry times. I got good at foraging and fishing. Malnutrition, actual lack of food, was a real thing then.

My room-mate: "It must be Arabs!" Me: "Nah, Arabs have got taste! They'd bomb someplace like New York or San Francisco. This was someone domestic - no one outside the US cares about Oklahoma City". I'm these days the general reaction to the crazy things happening here in the US is, "Oh, just the USA being the USA..." you folks are lucky to have left!

  4122. It is no longer a political party, it's a personality cult. Just like the NSDAP was a party, which did usual party things, like get together and drink beer and gripe, send petitions, usual political stuff. Then Hitler took it over and everyone in is, along with gov't workers etc had to swear loyalty to Hitler, personally. Same goes for donOLD's cult. Project 2025 training videos have been put up by Pro Publica on YouTube here. They are sickening and fascinating. You can see exactly what kind of regime we'll be under if donOLD wins. Gov't workers will have to "love" the president or else!

  4123. I visited Santa Barbara in the late 80s and it was already really gentrified, and for that matter, for the longest time there was a big homeless camp right on the grassy area at the beach, and I guess that's only recently been cleared out. There were always high-end shops on the main road through town, and tons of businesses based on trying to snag some dollars from the rich folks.

It's a standard war of attrition, where the way to win is to simply knock off every orc you can, because the way to win is to make the orc "army" (mob, actually) so depleted that they are not able to continue. Orc parents don't care, interview after interview have shown that orc parents only want their kids to die so the parents get a cheapo Russian car with no airbags. They're not human, they're orcs! Make sure they stay to fertilize Ukrainian soil.

  4128.  @SDwriter.and.surfer  I remember hanging out at a friend's place in Huntington Beach tons and tons of time in the mid-late 80s. He was into motorcycles and that meant taking the front end off of one, and the rear end off another, etc and building, literally building, bikes. It was BMW "airheads" so you could build them up like Legos. But when I'd ride my own motorcycle over to his place, on a warm weekend day, a lot of people's garages would be open and there would be all kinds of projects people were working on. The whole neighborhood was one of largely blue-collar aircraft and aerospace workers and ... they liked to work on stuff.

  4135. Are you trying to compare industrially designed ovens, built to dispose of bodies, with kilns? Firstly, your standard kiln bakes for 4 hours because that's just the standard time. The German-designed ovens could dispose of a body in minutes. Also a lot of the victims of the Holocaust were simply buried in lime pits etc. Also there were a lot more than 10 of the ovens - we've all heard of the "big names" in concentration/death camps like Auschwitz and so on, but Germany actually had 100s of camps and while not all of them had ovens a lot of them did.

  4137. Long before this, I'd heard about how silly it is that in workplaces in Japan, sneezing and blowing your nose is considered really disgusting. Like making a big loud sloppy fart you could have avoided. Well, sneeze or blow, and notice later the little bits of dried stuff that turn up ... the specks on your computer screen if you were at your computer, the bit of dried stuff on your face (probably after bouncing off of something else and coming back to stick). Even before this, my procedure for a sneeze has been to first, jam my finger under my nose, hard. Almost painfully. If that won't stop it, I'll drop down to a squat quickly, like a reverse jack-in-the-box, and then sneeze into my shirt or at worst into my elbow.

China's lifting millions out of poverty, meanwhile the US and many other countries (English-speaking ones especially) are casting more of their people into poverty and the US has a much higher rate of children being orphans. Also the US's life expectancy just dropped another year. Not a month, not some fraction of a year, a whole year. So there's very little China can say that I see as "bragging" it's more like I just nod and think "Yes, of course!"

  4147. I seem to be pretty much over the "crud" I had and I don't seem to have "stuff" rattling around in my lungs now (singing while riding my bike helped clear it) so if I get test I guess it's an antibody test I'll want. Tests are very hard to get in the USA unless you're wealthy or well-connected. I am in "Silicon Valley" and we have a massive "internal third world" here. Homeless camps, people living in abandoned buildings (more of those all the time) and parking lots and so son. Raising their children there too. And you know those kids are not getting vaccinations or medical care. We've got a massive part of our population that just has no access to the medical system, and it's being revealed with schooling from home that tons don't even have internet access. I just barely have it; I can watch things like this at 240p, but there's no way I'd be able to upload to here or do any kind of video conference.

  4176. Back in the day(tm) I used to go to my local sushi place in Sunnyvale, California. It actually had, instead of a conveyor belt, an actual little water canal and the sushi dishes were on wooden boats. There were some wonderful dishes, like tuna tataki which was seared white tuna with onions and a sauce sort of like a very light watered down ponzu sauce, one that was raw beef slices just seared around the edges on rice, and shrimp fried whole heads tails and all and fried in oil so hot you could eat them heads, tails, and all. There was a fish aquarium shop next door and I often thought it'd be funny to buy a lot of guppies and let them loose in the water canal, but I didn't want to get banned for life. It was fun to think about though.

  4183. Speaking as an American I'd bet on China all day. There are fundamental differences between China and "the West". China had Confucius, we did not. "the West" is based on Christianity, an apocalyptic cult, while Asia is based on Buddhism/Daoism etc which are not. In Buddhism we believe in a long, LONG term universe, in fact we talk about "kalpas" where a kalpa is the life of one universe. We're in it for the long term. Where "the West" is all about "Fuggit, live for today, who cares how my children will do, it's all about me me ME". "the West" is a culture of children, whereas Asian cultures, 1000s of years older, are cultures of adults.

  4184. I see this sort of situation with Hawaii. I grew up there and left in my mid-20s for the mainland US. I tried moving back 17 years ago and realized I'd be fighting tooth and nail for a job with people who've been there all along and bounced back to the mainland, vowing to not return until I'm ready to retire and then can return home to retire, and bring money in (social security). I think you have to seriously look at, Are you bringing money in, or taking a job from a local?

Or coming back from those, with it loaded up with boxes and bubble wrap to pack more packages. Or I might just be on the bike alone which has a neat Topeak pannier set, loaded with groceries and other odds and ends. in any case, I'm out there every day, can sprint like Sean Kelley and hammer like Hinault, and fucking hate cars more than Satan hImself.

  4189.  @ebrakefml  Bingo. And I'd not even say "very few" actual humans among them because even the ones able to pass themselves off as humans are not able to keep it up for long. Some are able to act pretty human, but they'll refuse all offers of real help like a tip on a local employer who needs people, or help in getting off of drugs. And even the most human-acting ones have no concept of the social contract, so if you do something for them, instead of reciprocating they'll just want more. They see kindness as weakness. There's no give and take, it's only take.

  4195. One side isn't just forecasting financial collapse, they're promising it, in that they intend to cause it on purpose. Trump's planned deportation of millions will do it, just that alone. Plus Trump's planned instant replacement of skilled gov't workers with 100's of 1000's of his loyalists with no experience in those jobs. That means it'll make things horrible just through fucking things up even if they don't mean to. But it also means with their loyalists in there running everything from Social Security to water depts, etc., it means they'll be going through people's information, so say you're Black or Brown or Jewish, you might find your water turned off or your check to pay your property tax not accepted so you lose your house. For more on how that side wants things to go, read up on German history 1933-1945.

  4196. It's not a good look. A possible reason why it's handled this way is the airlines are like the US's Aeroflot. They have to be ready to be used as troop transports.

I mean, the oldies have pot guts, sure, but the younger workers have huge guts, and I had no detectable gut until I was somewhere around 40, myself. I'd say the one guy looks like he's barely out of his 20s or still 20-something, and the other guy maybe 40. I was right in my proper BMI until about 7 years ago, and with diet and exercise I'm heading right back to the sweet spot now. Keto diet for the win! But those younger guys, man, we're talking pre-diabetic if not already Type II, and when they get older, yikes.

  4207. This is the first mention of what I call the seasonality aspect. In colder climates, the plants and trees etc. tend to produce a lot of fruits and nuts and humans would eat those to put on fat for the winter. That's where gaining wait from eating sweet things had a practical purpose. Now, I grew up in a tropical climate and we have fruits and seeds etc all year around. But when they're always available, you don't tend to want to eat more than you need. Bananas are not a huge treat when they're growing in your backyard. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing like a sun-warmed banana you watched grow from a flower out your bedroom window. But there's not an urge to eat tons of them. There's not a big need to stack on fat in the tropics. It is good to have some fat in the tropics and it was a sign of wealth, but you weren't facing long cold hungry winters there. And a well-fed tropical person, traditionally, was still quite slender compared to a modern eater of the "Western" diet.

You could rise up in life. This no longer the case. So if you're super smart but not born into the solid middle-class or better, you're not going to be able to get anywhere. Smarts don't matter; hard work doesn't matter, what matters is what class you're born into. That's how the US works now.

  4222. The reasons Paul Ehrlich's prognostications didn't come to pass was, the "green revolution" AKA more efficiently turning fossil fuels into food, and the invention of high fructose corn syrup which means you can have bread and baked goods that take much, much longer to spoil if it's added. Which is why American style bread seems like cake to those not used to it. Also a massive push to feed the population on starches and sugars. Sure it causes obesity and heart disease and diabetes, but it's hard to say you're under-fed when your BMI is 30. In other words, the first-world has just kicked the can down the road. The discovery of North Sea oil bought us some time too. That population that needs to be cut down is the "first world" one because a typical "first world" person used 10X-20X the energy of a "third world" person. Or, the "first world" needs to become a LOT more "third world" and that means $30 a gallon petrol, gardens rather than lawns, bicycles, mending and making do, drink water rather than soda pop, etc.

  4224. I know the feeling. I grew up in a warm area, shoes were kind of optional. I literally remember for a bit myself and two siblings and 1 pair of shoes, and whoever got to 'em first (like had a reason to wear them like was going to ride the bus) would put 'em on then when they got home, leave them by the door for whichever one of us needed them next. I've cooked over a camp fire, and living without a car is something I did for years as a kid and as an adult. Hell I don't have a car now. The thing is, this is a big cut-down for Americans who never thought they'd have to "borrow" water from a tap, or walk an hour to a bus stop, use kerosene lamps at night because no electricity etc.

  4225.  @samuelthomson1004  The average "welfare mother" had her children when she could afford them. Then the family fortunes changes, mom or dad got sick, job loss, economic crash, etc now they're on Welfare with 3-4 kids and everyone points the finger at them, when if they knew they'd have ended up that poor, they'd not have had the kids. That's the thing about American economics: You're going to get cleaned out periodically. You're going to lose everything. It's been this way since the 90s.

I think they really want to discourage paper forms, and we'll all be doing it on a computer. I hate computers.

  4231. Oversized baggy suit and waving those little hands around ... are we sure he's not a chipmunk?

  4232. There's a guy in my neighborhood who rides a motorcycle that's the biggest hunk'a'junk I've ever seen. Looks like a rolling piece of crap, sounds like a sick lawnmower. Used to have a big TRUMP sign on the back of that POS too. Lately, like I saw him tonight, no sign.

  4234.  @FakeMarket  Takes far-right wing wypipo, no thanks. Your daughter will have zero education and have no idea what's going on when her period starts, freak out and be burned at the stake for being a witch.

  4235. I haven't gotten my ballot yet (California) but if I don't, then well it's hours on the bus each way to get to "my" polling place to cast a provisional ballot, then I guess downtown to watch the results at the same bar I watched the results in '16.

  4236.  @angelsaavedra633  No they hardly speak English and will beat your ass if you can't speak fluent Hawaiian. The money's different too - a dollar's a scallop shell, quarter's a clam, dime's a cowrie, nickel's an opihi, and penny's a puka shell.

  4237. Waitaminute, the holy grail was supposed to be not only the cup Jesus drank from before he died, but that was used to collect his blood after his crucifixion? Ewww just Ewwww. What is it with these people and blood? That's just grody.

  4238. If you love it so much, how come you're not there, and signing up to fight for Putin?

  4239. "Well regulated" actually means "Well trained". The founders wanted the (free white) populace to have guns because they'd naturally use the guns to hunt, compete at shooting matches, etc. Thus, we'd have a lot of people who are really handy with guns, when most countries at the time had to teach their soldiers how to use guns, which they'd often not touched before being enlisted. In old shooting manuals you can find references to "the regulation of the sights" and it means the adjustment of the sights on the guns. So the word "regulated" doesn't mean what it does now, but that the militia members be experienced in shooting guns, have their guns sighted-in etc. There's nothing in there mandating the kind of "armed citizen" freakouts we're seeing these days though.
    2
  4240. Soon as salmon was mentioned, I was thinking parasite, spoilage, etc or a fish bone. Then when nothing was said about poor storage of the salmon or salmon getting in contact with something dirty, I thought, OK this is going to be a fish bone.
    2
  4241.  @BrandyTexas214  Yep on paper I have health care (obamacare) but I don't dare believe it, I'm just set as well as I can for a really bad bitch of a flu and will only go to the doctor if I'm having trouble breathing.
    2
  4242. I used to think crystallized honey, when it gets that creamy color, is really nice in a peanut butter and honey sandwich. When I was little I thought it cost extra!

  4243.  @TheCanaaniteUnionist  Exactly - there were many branches of hominids and most have died out.

  4244. YouTube loves Nazis. NFAKERS is not a Nazi. In fact he's pretty much the opposite. He's lucky to be on YouTube at all.
    2
  4245. A lot of this is just tradition. If you're a farmer in rural France in 1850, and harvesting the pig you've raised and want the meat to not spoil, you'll use nitrites because they work, and eating ham with nitrites won't kill you as fast as starving will. So ham is pink, and that custom has been passed down the generations.
    2
  4246. "Traitors" yeah, it's just purity testing among the far-right. This is what Joe Schmoe doesn't realize about the far-right. Not only will they promise you free food you'll never get, but the purity testing will be hell. They'll find out you had a Jewish ancestor, or your great-uncle-twice-removed was a Communist in the 1930s or some shit and to the wall you go.
    2
  4247. There is an actual PBS documentary on YouTube here where there was a lady with coronavirus here on the West Coast of the US, in October 2019.... We don't know if the virus didn't actually come out of the Middle East, the US, Europe, etc. Just like the "Spanish" flu actually came out of the midwestern US.
    2
  4248. Get out the plunger!
    2
  4249. I just paid a bit over $30 each for a couple of .9999 Australian 1-oz. rounds, not for stacking so much but to make colloidal silver with. It was the cheapest fine silver that looked like it's probably not fake, I could find. But as I type, spot's about $15 so I paid about 2X, which is OK with me because two rounds like that will make a lifetime of colloidal silver, what you really want is "junk" silver, non-collector-value 90% silver coins.

  4251. Get your DPT shot. Should renew every 10 years. It covers Diptheria, Pertussis (whooping cough) and Tetanus. A friend of mine's father (commercial artist) got it from a paper cut of all things and fortunately was able to be treated in time.

  4255. Dr. Fung is gold his lectures are very good.
    2
  4256. The guy I work for is about 70, and my God he marinates himself in this stuff. He's extremely intelligent in technical matters but he's like a hateful 13-year-old politically. And back in his college age days, he helped the McGovern campaign. He sends off for every NRA sticker/keychain/etc they offer him, and what's funny to me is, he insists on driving a huge truck when a commercial type van would be much more practical.

  4257.  @juma1130  What the fuck is that word?
    2
  4258. Doomsday, the Apocalypse, Armageddon, etc. are aspects of the primitive cult of Christianity, they are not even a thing in mature belief systems. The problem with a religion that believes in "doomsday" is, if it doesn't come in the expected time, the adherents of the religion will make it happen.

  4259. Top 10% in the US are living longer than ever, bottom 60% or so are plummeting in life expectancy.

  4261. These guys should worry more about whether, in 1000 years, there are humans on the planet at all.

  4265. This was very interesting. A lot of people in the USA think that all it would take to "fix" prostitution would be to make it legal, just like any other job, in effect the German approach. And that's obviously not working.

  4266.  @iamthinking2252_  If by "rats in the beef" you mean "human fat in the lard" yeah. It's a hell of a book.

  4271. Too many of these mofos voting for the 'Rump. Mice voting for cats.
    2
  4272. Doing pure veganism is really hard. You have to know a LOT about the proteins and fats etc., that are no-brainers to get from meats and fish and dairy. If you look at long-existing vegetarian-ish diets, there's the Indian diet which also includes diary, and various diets of Asia which will have very little meat but lots and lots of assorted vegetable foods. Not much rice because rice was money. But actual veganism is really rare and in places that might have it, it might be something you switch to when you're done working and in the last part of your life.
    2
  4273. It's the Anglo culture, somehow masks are impinging on their "freedumbs" whereas in Asian cultures you are taught to take consideration for other people.
    2
  4274. Also the term "Heathen" was used, literally "of the heath" meaning "of the wilderness" but heath is a plant that grows on particularly useless land, so it was a particularly denigrating way of saying it.

  4275. Christian Lenz, apparently drives a bright yellow truck, that's subtle. Plus good mug shots of the perp ... it would a shame if something were to happen to Lenz ... totally a shame ...

  4277. As more places that are remote, in flood plains or in/near forests that burn (forests in the US West tend to be those with a "fire ecology" where periodic fires are part of their life cycle) the cost of insurance naturally goes up.
    2
  4278. Probably trans people and prominent political enemies are going into the camps first. Then illegal immigrants, LGBT, less prominent political opponents. Then everyone brown who has immigrant parents, sooner or later they'll get around to the Jews, and eventually anyone who isn't straight white Christian and just the right kind of straight white Christian.

  4279. You can also go to "farm" stores like "Tractor Supply" and buy many animal meds, then there's the whole fish antibiotics thing.... you can buy doxy and stuff for your fish.
    2
  4280. I'm on what I call a keto diet (but I don't tell anyone because the first rule of keto club is to not talk about keto club) but I think I'm doing it quite differently than most because I'm not eating "keto" versions of foods that are highly, highly processed. I'm also not eating 12-oz steaks, as I'm quite happy with 4 oz. as a serving of meat or fish. I'm also eating lots of vegetables which the average keto dieter is not, as for a lot of people keto is an excuse to not have to eat "yucky" veggies. I eat a lot of fish too and by fish I mean sardines, mackerel, just had some saury AKA mackerel pike today. The way most people interpret keto, cured meats like bacon and salami are OK but I don't eat 'em.

  4281. This is what you'd expect from someone who is of an evangelical religion. Christianity and Islam are like that.

  4284.  @containedhurricane  My boss will literally die for breakfast cereal and pancakes. I've seen him over the years go from metformin pills to insulin injections to now, he's got a little monitor clipped to him that beeps when his blood sugar goes too high or low. I keep trying to tell him about the benefits of a low-carb diet but he will not change his way of eating even if it kills him.

  4285. Germany just decided to give more money to the "palestinians", are about to ban Kosher slaughter and circumcision, and afd, their alt-right is growing. Don't give up your Israeli passport!
    2
  4286. Is the AR15 legal for hunting in that many states though? My info might be out of date but I seem to remember it being legal for "varmints" like rabbits, jackrabbits, coyotes etc., but for deer and larger, you had to have at least a .270. The 30-30 only being legal due to being grandfathered in.

  4288. Dirty Diaper Don is a feckin' idiot whom Bibi can run circles around. Best wishes to Bibi to do what's best for Israel!

  4289. Egypt + Jordan together get as much aid from the US as Israel does, though, and most of the aid to Israel is "store credit" with US companies and that means US jobs.

  4290. The estate tax ... cry me a river. I inherited $10k from my grandfather. Half went to pay off the last of my student loans and half went for my first car. At about age 30.
    2
  4291. Yep in the US they use "white collar" prisoners to do "white collar" work. Even things like credit card help lines, airline ticket booking, and so on, are done by prisoners. It's not all chain gangs cleaning the sides of the roads and manufacturing military uniforms in the US, we have a vast prison industrial-complex doing every sort of job.

  4293. Oh, that's awful! Anyway...

  4294. Members of the military are NOT supposed to be political, not even for the Republicans or the Democrats. The military is supposed to be apolitical, defending the Constitution not any political faction.
    2
  4295. This is why you bring whole milk or better yet, half and half, in a canteen or something to rinse eyes out after being sprayed with pepper spray. I know this works, one night I was cutting up some peppers and got that stuff in my eyes, I tried everything to no avail and finally got out the cream I used for coffee and it fixed me right up.
    2
  4296. Exactly. Hitler was compared to Jesus or more commonly, a Christian knight on a crusade, and WWII Nazi belt buckles said "Gott Mit Uns" or "God Is With Us" on them.
    2
  4297. Well over 300,000 orcs gone so far and counting ... Plus Europe is becoming more united and sending more aid to Ukraine. Here's to the orcs becoming an endangered species.
    2
  4298. And please, we don't need another "hanging chad" "dimpled chad" etc. election so when you mark your ballot, make sure your intentions are known. Mark in your candidate, and draw a ling through Kamala Harris's name. Just a plain line, showing you "cancel" her. That way your voting choice can't be mistake and will stand up in a court of law.
    2
  4299. Socialists won WWII. Not just the USSR but among Allied troops, Socialism was quite popular. Look into 1920s and 1930s history.
    2
  4300. I believe excess deaths in the US since the advent of the virus are FAR in excess of 1 million. But so far we're right on track with something I read early on, that to be like the 1918 flu, the US will "need" to lose 2 million to be a 1:1 match, given the US's greater population now.
    2
  4301. That milk thing is for sure a scam. Let's say milk is $5 a gallon which sounds about right these days, the guy got a quick $10 which I guess buys some bottom-shelf vodka or a crack rock.

  4304. Oh man where I am people leave stuff out on the curb that they don't want, and I scored a vintage wok probably mid-20th century made in San Francisco, and the matching lid. The best I think you can do in the US is to move to a heavily Asian area like the SF Bay Area here. Lots of cool Asian stuff.

  4307. @Bill P You talk about left-wing propaganda like it's a bad thing. To the gulag or the wall!
    2
  4308. Where I am, in the US, there's been a lot of "Oh dear, Oh dear", about the Saudis/UAE fighting the Houthis in Yemen. "They're being so mean!" as the constant cry. Well, now we know why they were fighting and instead of mewling about it, we (the US) are finally helping. We're on the same sheet of music now.

  4312. What is this "West Bank"?? You mean Judea?
    2
  4313. The key to understanding a lot of this is, that a lot of the drug industry is based in, or influenced by, the US. Yep, the Evil Empire, the 3rd world country wearing a faux Gucci belt. The place where profit matters more than anything. And addiction is profitable
    2

  4315. Octapharma is set up in New Orleans, one of the US's poorest and most drug and disease-ridden.

  4316. If you're working class, the military is one of the very best employers you can have. Put in some time, and when you're done you've got savings, a retirement waiting for you, training, and a free college degree or trade school.
    2
  4317. The so-called "Palestinians" are between a rock and a hard place because Hamas pays them to stay and for any damage they do to the US and Israel. And if they try to leave they're killed. This plan is crazy but it might give them an open door to get the hell out of there.

  4318. This. I"m not a Ghadaffi expert but he seems to have been a good guy. And she's gloating over assassinating him?

  4319. Drinking cough syrup was a thing in the US several decades ago. The music writer Lester Bangs was kind of famous for being under the influence of couch syrup with codeine.

  4325. I like the video, the moving map was getting a little bit old.
    2
  4326. Why? We need a reason.
    2
  4327. The US is hyper-hyper individualistic. Then Americans get all butthurt when immigrants come here and do well because they - gasp! - work together. And I don't mean some kind of huge network, just the parents helping the kids and the kids returning the favor and helping the parents when they get old.
    2
  4328. Or even just growing hemp/marijuana. I watched, years ago, some documentary, something like, "Are we winning enough" or something, and it was hilarious because there'd be a bunch of US soldiers sitting around on the ground, you know how there's always some grass or plants around, well, where they were, it was weed. Everyone's being all casual and there are these marijuana leaves nodding in the wind. The place weed evolved isn't far from there, so it's a native plant and you've got a relaxing drug, healthful oils, nutritional oils and seed, fiber, etc.

  4333.  @Mthammere2010  Exactly! And it's exactly as Karl Marx described back in the 1850s. There has to be an underclass that's unemployed, to keep wages down. And they have to lead miserable lives, to keep the workers scared to death to stop working.

  4361. Stalin at his worst locked up a smaller percentage of his citizens. USSR won WWII, won the Space Race, and kept the US's standard of living high by providing competition.

  4365. What bullshit. The theremin's actually one of the very hardest, and over the years only a very few people have been able to get good music out of one as opposed to woo-woo noises. Brass in general is hard. I've played enough trumpet to know it's damned hard. There are only 7 valve positions, and you really only use 5 or 6 of them but for each position, depending on your lips and mouth cavity, you can select from 7 or 8 notes. It takes a lot of physical stamina and also takes years of training, because a lot of it isn't just muscle but coordination; learning to use your body in ways that are not paralleled in other activities. Trombone's hard because you've got all this plus it's slide positions instead of valve positions, and the tuba has a range of something like 5 octaves, so it's a lot to deal with. Guitar and piano are easy to make a sound on, and it's pretty easy to sound decent, but the standard is so high, that that can make it hard if you want to get anywhere near as good as the greats. But they're easy to start on, and I'd say not intrinsically hard - just hard to master. And I'm going to put violin into this group also. Yes your sound will send the cat running at first, but it's very very popular, it's not hard to play basic stuff early on, and it's just another one that's easy but hard to master because of the huge repertoire and high standards. In the end it's what's natural to you. I find violin much easier than trumpet, for instance.

  4376. The original Tea Party came about when Bush Jr. was running for his 2nd term. They felt his policies were tax-and-spend, and they were not incorrect. Apparently the Tea Party died out after Bush Jr was in, and then came backlater, because that scary brown man was now in the White House, and that's when the Tea Party became anti-government in general and white nationalist.

A lot of people in the USA are too poor to have a can opener and they do it that way, or rub it on the ground, cement, etc., or rub it with a good rock. There are some highly skilled people who know how to put a can in the fire and take it just as it pops, so there's that method too.

There are some who posit that the US is in its "hypernormaliation" stage, named after a documentary you can find on here by Adam Curtis, who in turn named it after a term come up with to describe the later-USSR period in, well, the USSR. Everyone knew things weren't working but they all kept pretending because they didn't know what else to do. But the USSR was a kind of closed system .... if the US is in "hypernormalisation", then it pretty much means the "Western" world is.

Man it was not fun! I still have scars.

  4421. Sadly, if Trump wins the American experiment is OVER. US will be out of NATO, will halt all aid to Ukraine and send it to Putin instead, tons of political enemies will be rounded up (remember that Dachau, the first of the camps, held political enemies). There will likely be a civil war in the US because believe it or not, most of us are commonsense and detest Dirty Diapers Donnie. We're very aware that Dumpo's following the Hitler playbook to the very letter. Biden, meanwhile, is just normal. Not perfect, but normal. The thing to do is vote him in and then put pressure on him to do the right things, which he wants to do anyway but he needs back-up from we the people. Support Israel and Ukraine. Do something about the the college loan problem, which he is. Do something about the medical debt crisis, which he is. Do something about a lot of things which the media is strangely quiet about, and which he is.

I got digging around in the culture, and it's basically a Dark Ages feudal culture, where peasants have zero rights. There's zero social mobility and the treatment of the working class there is brutal. Because of this, I myself have no problem with China moving in. At least China's a modern society.

Showing "face" I get it, it's like this restaurant that was a thing when I was a kid in Hawaii in the 1970s, the "LaRonde" which was this flying saucer shaped thing on top of the Ala Moana building. It actually rotated, about one rotation per hour or 1/2 hour. There were 5 of us kids, so my parents were big on buffets and we went to a few there. I guess the food was OK but the only memorable meal I can think of was when there seemed to be a heavily Eastern European crowd and the buffet had weird organ meats like "sweetbreads". The main thing was, you were going to the LaRonde!

  4464. Orcs take their war re-enactments seriously, don't they? On the radio today here in the US, a comment was made as an aside, about "General Zhukov smothering the Nazis in Soviet bodies" which I guess is how the orcs did it in WWII. That and using war material as old as being leftovers from fighting Napoleon. Orcs used up their good stuff - both men and material - last year and now they're getting out the museum pieces. You can't smother NATO in orc bodies because NATO will just step out of the way and let orcs smother each other, then pick off any survivors. And you can't out-produce NATO and we in NATO are sending Ukraine good stuff but not even "the" good stuff, just stuff that's "meh" but effective. We'll send the really good stuff when it's necessary but it will probably never be - that would be like a grown man fighting a 10-year-old. A little munchkin like Pewtin.

  4474. I wonder if the guy was not only a drinker but a user of one of the "benzo" drugs like Ambien? I say this because drinkers and users of such drugs can go into "blackout" mode which contrary to the name doesn't mean they just sleep it off, no, it means they can do things, even complex things, and not have any memory of it. The guy could have been shooting his gun, gotten angry at being told to stop, gone and shot all those people, and all of this on this sort of weird "auto pilot" and only realized what he did later when he sobered up a bit. I say this not to side with the guy but just to offer a possible explanation. Why else would a guy exchange a relatively normal life for one on the lam, hated and hunted, otherwise? What else could explain it? And how this might help in finding him is, if he's alcohol-dependent, he'll have to buy more so he'll be going to liquor stores or supermarkets etc. and if he's addicted to benzos, then he'll have to try to obtain those.

  4498. I lived out in Arizona for a while and it's an area where Sammy "The Bull" Gravano is considered saintly. Karri Lake's a loon and the state's something like an insane asylum for the far-right.

  4502. Shit, there's some REALLY cheap vodka in the US, I'd rather buy some guys a handle of Vitali than put up with that, plus in the US you'd have a medical bill for like $10,000 no kidding. Then, in the US if something happens to you, your friends abandon you, so you'd be all alone for like 6 months before any of your friends would talk to you again. There are no real friends in the US.

  4503. I agree with this guy; if you go to college you'll never get that money you spent back, plus will pay all that interest as unless you're wealthy you'll have to get loans. And don't have kids unless you're OK with the picture/reality of their digging through trash heaps to survive in the future.

  4511.  @nightigal  "Russia" stopped existing with the Czars. The USSR didn't have "Russia" in the name, and what Pewtin and his gangsters are calling "Russia" is not, it's a gangster regime of the exact type the USSR tried to prevent. Sure, the gangsters call it "Russia" but it's like "Pyrex", an old name being used for a new, completely different and utterly crappy product.

  4512. I once ate a whole package of Feen-A-Mint due to not understanding the directions. OK maybe half the package. Was munching on it like a chocolate bar. While reading the directions .... oops. Didn't realize I had to take 1-2 breakable pieces, for a dose. It wasn't as bad as I thought though, I just had a couple-few good shits. But 25 doses, ... geez.

  4513. WTF? Dench's dad didn't even spell the sign right? Do they even notice that in a place like that? It seems like a good area to bring in small manufacturing. Or do you tend to get workers who are too drugged up and just injure themselves?

  4518. No Republican, not ever. The rest of them may be a bit smarter, and a fair amount less crazy, but they're still all for privatizing everything, turning the working and middle classed into indebted serfs, making people "more" or "less" depending on skin color, etc. Yes, even Liz Cheney stands for these things. Just because they don't like Trump, probably because he's too loud, doesn't mean they're not all on-board about basic ideas.

  4521. Losing weight: Yep I agree! Source: Went meat'n'leaves "keto" diet and lost 40 lbs in 8 months. Lots of eggs, lots of beef for shabu-shabu from the local Japanese market, heavy whipping cream not milk or even half and half in coffee, etc. It's a painless way to diet and I really didn't spend any more on food because suddenly I wasn't buying that beer, that bag of chips, that chocolate bar etc.

  4540. The guy was a handyman who knew the homeowner (who he stabbed!) a long time. He could have easily networked himself into another handyman situation. In HI you can live in a garden shed or anything very comfortably. For a skilled handyman, HI is duck soup (easy). The problem is, he was going mentally ill, everyone knew it, but there's no mechanism for having a guy like this essentially caught with a big butterfly net and taken in and checked out and gotten help.

  4541. I go to Whole Foods, a bastion of White food culture, about once a week. I like to get something from the buffet there, and sometimes that thing is a couple of hard boiled eggs, some olives, etc. And there's no seasonings. None. At all. Not salt, not pepper, not anything. Because salt and pepper might excite animal passions or some shit. I have a secret hack though - I ask at the sushi counter for some soy sauce - it's salty.

  4547. In 1974 or so I had a chemistry set that came with that same book, and yes it has stuff like a real alcohol lamp, glassware, chemicals some of which were poisonous, etc. David was born in 1976, right when the US economy started going to shit. By the time he was nearing adulthood, we'd become a class society with next to no class mobility. His mistake was being working-class and trying to do things only middle-class kids are recognized for. If you're middle-class you win science awards for this stuff, if you're working class you're a terrorist.

  4551. There are theories that Jesus traveled allllll over the place, which is actually customary at the time for people seeking truth and as smart as he was (debating the rabbis when barely into his teens) and there are those who think he learned a sort of martial arts like Aikido, which would enable him to defend himself with no weapons and leaving attackers defeated and baffled but without actually hurting them. So yeah, pretty much the opposite of this cult.

  4552. Women having to wear diapers to work is actually a policy in the US that's decades old. Michael Moore, decades ago, was staging protests like driving a flatbed truck with porta-potties to workplaces to try to shame their bosses into letting them have time to use them. Needless to say it didn't work.

  4555. What amazes me about Israel is how cheap everything is. All those sites are 5 shekels to visit, that's like $1.25 or $1.50, in the USA the same kind of site would be $15. In the USA a cucumber is $1-$2, in israel they're like 25c. Even a bus ride is like 1/2 as much as in the USA.

  4590. It's a new age of guards and goons. Stores now have what I call "door concierges" making sure not too many people go in, due to covid. More and more places are getting guards and one supermarket I frequent (H Mart) had two armed guards at all times.

  4594. I don't think the US has needed Afghanista for opium for a long time. A while back I went down a rabbit hole of watching documentaries about legal cultivation of poppies, and it's done here in the US and also places like Tasmania in Australia. Plus whatever they're growing in China - if I can buy Chinese garlic by the pound cheap here in the US I'm sure "tar" opium is cheap from there also. Plus, the US actually has a huge amount of land that's mountainous, high altitude, sparsely populated, which is perfect for growing opium poppies as well as the most potent strains of marijuana.

You can use one of those, put some extra veggies in, customize it how you like. They are "vegetarian" but really they're milchig, so if you're trying to at least nod toward keeping Kosher you could put in cheese or a dollop of sour cream on top, or something like that.

  4611. This is the way of the orcs going back centuries. From Napoleon's age and even earlier, it's been noted by everyone who's dealt with them that the orcs are rabble, ill-led and ill-trained. The orcs in WWII have been described as "smothering the Nazis with their dead bodies" and that might be the most accurate way of describing the way they fought - with tons of donated Allies equipment from the US of course.

You could marry a girl at age 11, you could own slaves, if you had a tiff with your neighbor you could challenge 'em to a duel and they HAD to answer the challenge or be socially ostracized.

  4616. What's funny about Trumpers is, they're either veterans or worship the ground veterans walk in, and I can tell you as a veteran, the military looooooooves to give you shots. You get plenty of 'em. And this isn't a recent thing, it goes back at least as far as WWII. In fact the US military has generated a lot of solid data on vaccinations just because of this - a large, diverse, pool of people getting vaccinations and good record-keeping. So for these idiots to be anti-vaccine ...

  4624. Hitler was also against smoking, and was a vegetarian. Still, killing 6 million Jews, 6 million more Roma and other out-groups, and killing millions of Germans and Russians, is his main brand. He built a gun, the V3, designed specifically to turn London into a smoking hole. While he was not pure evil, being 99.999% evil is close enough.

  4625. You can tell the CCP is on the right track - taking care of the people. In the USA a transit station always has homeless people, beggars, drug addicts etc. And the little town would have a lot of crime and drugs. These views of China are so refreshing! It is wonderful to see that there are places in the world where people can live normally, not always looking over their shoulder like here in the US.

Also, I watched a docu on here that made the argument that Hitler's family was very inbred, that his father came from a village where inbreeding was the norm, and Hitler's mother being also his aunt or something like that, well, one thing that happens is when inbred enough, it's hard to get viable offspring and indeed Hitler's mother/aunt had had something like 4 kids who died at birth before little adolf was born.

  4652. You orcs are going to be under a black cloud for years, maybe decades. I remember reading in a motorcycle magazine in the 1980s, a story by a couple of guys who rode around Europe, on BMW motorcycles and the two guys were tall and blonde. The result is that people thought they were Germans and they were not very welcome. It took them a while to realize what was going on. That many years after WWII and Germans were still not liked in the rest of Europe, and for good reason. Well, you orcs are behaving even worse than the Nazis 1.0 did, so do not expect the world to like you.

As for long-delayed effects, that's what AIDs does. You can have it and pass it w/o knowing you have it, for years apparently.

  4660. Putin may have said that the fall of the USSR was a bad thing, but he and his gangster regime are exactly, precisely, what the USSR was set up in opposition to. So he says this thing, that the fall of the USSR was bad, and most Russians agree. But then he goes ahead to do gangster stuff that makes life worse for Russians. Kind of like "President" Trump in the US who will get up on stage and say that the US economy sucks for the regular working man, and most will agree, especially among his base. But then he'll go ahead to do things to screw the working class even more.

So there you go, crypto-skepticism and mentioning actual artists, it'll get you into the dog house these days.

All one has to do is to find and read Anton Kubizek's account of his life as a teen and young man with a likewise teen and young man Adolf Hitler, to know Hitler had lots of "socialist" ideas from the start. This is a European thing, the Europeans in general believing that capitalism is fine, but it should not be as "red in tooth and claw" as in the US. I believe in this also. Have capitalism, that thing like a bull on a farm that's necessary, but keep it chained up enough that it doesn't gore us all. Make life a baseball game, not a cage match to the death.

It's some kind of cultural thing, plenty of Caucasians are gambling addicts of course but I used to go to card houses to eat the food there a lot and it just seems to be a cultural thing, the gambling. Me, I'm as likely to take up gambling as those Asians are to develop a taste for blue cheese.

You can do the keto diet, you can do intermittant fasting, you can fast over weekends, whatever, but if you get where you're not running on sugar and on lipids instead, it's really healthy. Alkies are like this too - really good lipid profiles, denser bones, and your serious alkies have plenty of problems but they don't get colds. I'm gonna say that being out in the sun a lot if you're homeless, probably helps a lot too.

Modern flux is water-soluable and it likes water - it's hygroscopic which is a fancy way if saying it'll absorb water from the air. From the air so this means after X amount of time, you're machine's gonna fail and if you didn't buy AppleCare you're up the creek. I once had an "Icebook" share a Guinness with me! The screen showed some weird colors for a few minutes then it was fine and continued to run fine for another couple years until I sold it. Apple is not at all the same co. it once was.

Plus Prime used to be $100 now it's close to $200.

In the US this is really common with football players, who famously have things all arranged, imposters taking their tests for them etc. This goes doubly for the Olympics, having a sort of protective layer of genteelness to hide how things are actually done.

There are filters used by missionaries and charities in places where the water is bad, one is the LIfestraw, there's the Sawer Mini and Squeeze, the Berkey, tons of 'em really. It's far cheaper and better to set up improvised water treatment and purification setups.

  4784. I think yes, in the US it's less hierarchal. For instance, the guy I work for is 14 years older than I am, almost old enough to be my father. He ultimately tells me what to do, but half the time I'm telling him what to do! The ultimate goal is to have the business work well, so whether it's his ideas or my ideas, we choose what's best as equals. There's a lot he knows, in a lot of areas more than I do, but I have some ideas too, so it's fair and best for me to put forth my ideas also. Also, for those who are saying they envy foreigners' ability to build muscle, I would like to say that having big muscles is not very efficient or healthy, and the greatest weightlifter of all time was Tommy Kono, from my own state of Hawaii, and 100% Japanese. Do not envy foreigners!

In all fairness, Hitler bought for a few pfennig, anti-Semitic pamphlets from a street vendor and saw that they were popular enough that people in the street would buy them, and decided to hitch his wagon to anti-Semitism.

  4820. This shows the giant fallacy about these billionaires. There's this fallacy that they started from "nothing" and in reality they all start out being born into the 1%. Evan classic examples like Henry Ford, who was given a piece of land by his father that was large enough that he could log it and then sell it, yielding enough money to build his first factory and never have to work on anything but cars again. Nikola Tesla, born into wealth, his family all being high-up church officials (money!) or high-up military position holders (more money!). Thomas Edison always, always, had wealthy family with land and large houses to fall back on when, in his early years, invention has its downs to match its ups. The idea that you can be a nobody and even get into the 1% much less into Bezos territory is a horrible delusion.

They're not a legit country or a legit government, they're just a bunch of criminals who happen to have control over some territory.

If you haven't been to prison and you're over 30, it's considered like not passing a life milestone, like being 30 and never having learned to drive. The popular radio station used to broadcast, a bit before lunch time, what was on the menu that way so, I guess, people on the outside would know what they're family members were having for lunch. Going to prison is just .... completely normalized.

  4845. Fun facts about the US: Family means nothing. You are on your own. Parents won't help you, kids won't help parents, brothers, sisters, all are strangers, the word "family" means absolutely nothing. The US is absolutely awash in drugs. Not just opiates and meth and crack cocaine, but marijuana which is mild but tends to turn people into lazy dopeheads and some people get extreme anxiety from habitual marijuana use. But there is also a ton of alcohol, and alcohol is actually a really harmful drug. It's one of the few that suddenly stopping it, if you've become dependent, can kill you. Yet is is sold and advertised everywhere. There is no "social safety net". So unlike actual first-world countries there's no way to get into any kind of cheap living space and re-train if you are out of work. You are on your own. Charity is not really an American value. Charity is one of the Pillars of Islam but in the US, greed is thought highly of, not charity. Even charity organizations like the Salvation Army and American Way are run for profit, with their CEOs making millions of dollars a year. Violence is glorified in American culture. There is actually a "right" in the US constitution to have a gun and there are more guns than people in the US. But mainly American books, movies, even music glorifies violence. So think about these things carefully before you decide to move to the US or send your child there!

Like the concept of "people" and "race" and the stance on one's skin color, it's entirely different in the Jewish world vs. the "West". The truth is, both the Left and the Right in the "West" are to be looked at with a very, very jaundiced eye.

All for $200 a month. I can go out and do odd jobs or play some music or something per month and make that much. I might only make $5 or $6 a day but that's what food stamps give at most and at least I have some control over it.

  4873. The US is all about extreme individualism. Everyone's on their own and everyone else is competition, or someone to get something out of. This goes for family members as much as strangers. You. Are. On. Your. Own. I am in the process of joining a 1000s of years old religion and I'm continually astonished at how the worldview is 180 degrees opposite the standard American one. Under American beliefs, children are a burden while under my new belief system, they're a blessing and it's even a good deed to have them. Under Americanism, the dead are to be forgotten as quickly as possible, under my new belief system, they're to be remembered. Under Americanism, children are kicked out by age 18 to sink or swim on their own while under my new belief system, one is obligated to make sure your children have a path in life, help with college or a trade, something. To raise them and throw them out with no help or guidance is considered very bad.

This only makes sense when you read up on the shooter and find that they were "very religious". That's the key. Christians are a very violent group. The shooter was just being a good Christian.

  4893. 6% of American kids are orphans. American parents may care about how their kids do and what they do, but a lot do not. A lot of American parents are busy drinking themselves to death, taking tons of drugs, leading a dangerous lifestyle in the criminal economy, etc. And 6% of American kids don't have parents at all, and are in the horrific foster-care system growing up.

  4900. You absolutely have to eat a traditional Hawaiian lau-lau. That Whaler's store will certainly have them. They're called lau-lau because lau means leaf, and they're made with ti leaf on the outside (you don't eat that) and taro leaf on the inside, (you eat that) and pork and a bit of butterfish because gotta have butterfish for that ... butterfish flavor. Really yummy!

  4904. I actually got tested today! They set up free testing at a local stadium, and I had to stand in line about 45 minutes, do some paperwork, then it was swab, meet schnoz. It wasn't bad at all, they didn't go far up in, and I've got a sniffle so if I've got it they'll have gotten a good sample. I'll know in a few days if I'm positive, and if so, my boss will stay away until I test clean and while I'll still have to take packages to the post office etc I guess I'll become much more careful, wear mask when packing things, spray them down with alcohol, put on gloves before going in anywhere etc. Might even get one of those face shields they sell 'em in Asian markets. However if I've got it, then I can get over it then maybe I can donate plasma to help others, also may consider volunteering at one of the testing things like I went to.

But if you can be happy with a bicycle or motor scooter and living like 99% of the world lives, like an average schlub in Okinawa or Mexico or Greece, you'll be fine. Assume you can find a way to escape. Third-world places are your friend, they probably have covid better under control, then go from there to a 2nd world place.

And (b) I think there are a lot of people who want to live under Nazism, they feel that Hitler simply didn't do it right, but now with modern technology or something, they'll be able to do Nazism right. And they all imagine themselves being given good jobs as concentration camp guards or something, none of them imagine themselves becoming cannon fodder in the war to invade Canada, or sent to Russia to fight and die for Putin. Nope! They're all going to get cush jobs, and totally, totally none of them will end up in the camps themselves for not being "Aryan" enough or for having a Jewish ancestor they didn't know about.

  4947. I hate, hate, hate Karens. Shortly after the lockdown started, I was riding my bike from a local store, and to avoid an SUV that looked likely to try to kill me, I went up onto the sidewalk. The SUV pulled in and blocked me from moving forward, and a Karen was in it. Karen went on and on about how I was riding on the sidewalk at 100 miles an hour or some crap, and I tried to explain that I ride slowly when on the sidewalk, and I was doing it to avoid her. It went on and on a bit. I finally said, "How am I a menace when I'm riding a 40lb vehicle that doesn't go over 20 MPH, when you're driving a 4,000lb vehicle and will happily run over dogs, little kids, really anyone? I finally started to extract my pepper spray from one of my cargo pockets, and Karen seems to suddenly decide to let me pass. Come WROL (without rule of law) times, I will consider Karens to be an excellent opportunity to work on breath control, trigger squeeze, and follow-through.

  4948. The reason the Tesla on fire took so much water to put out was, the batteries are made of some highly reactive materials. Lithium is a metal, but it will burn - burning just being really fast oxidation. And some of these metals will burn even when there's water hosed onto them, until they're really cooled down and also smothered of oxygen which can be tricky because ... water is part oxygen. The element Sodium, for instance, will just plain burn if put in water. Lithium's not quite that bad, but a burning Tesla ain't a pile of oily rags in your grandpa's garage, or a stubborn campfire at the Scout jamboree, it's pretty serious.

All along this time, he was studying Hitler and other dictators obsessively. You can even see various dictators in his postures and gestures. Mussolini in his standing with that pout and his chin pointing out. Hitler in the strange hand gestures.

My understanding is that Carlos Ghosn was not an ordinary prisoner, he was not a run-of-the-mill car thief or even a Yakuza who might have killed someone, but some who was in a high place and had some very powerful enemies in high places and he was under threat of not just having to sit seiza a lot but in actual danger of being murdered. The general consensus in the West is that he was pretty clever to escape in a tuba case or whatever it was and since he will have to "lay low" for the rest of his life, he's probably learned his lesson.

  4986. When a person realizes you orcs live in something like the 7th century A.D., also known as the Dark Ages, it all makes sense. The taking of child slaves, the torture, the utter lack of discipline, only keeping roughly aimed at the enemy because your higher-ups will gleefully kill you, the utterly primitive methods of warfare like human wave attacks and and constantly driving tanks into the same minefield, it all makes sense. This is what you'd expect from Dark Age conscripted peasants and self-hating folk-religion brainwashed zealots. Since it's a war of attrition, we can only hope for many, many more dead orcs. Muscovia must be bled dry, depleted to the extent that there are, finally, not enough orcs "living" if you can call it that, to continue.

But anyway.... There's another reason this area's been about building materials for years. Skyrocketing real estate, and then lots of stay-at-home time and bonuses have meant people were working on their houses. But over just the last year, the businesses have shifted to things like general industrial goods, a ghost kitchen or two, and a very popular thing, Empty Building.

So you want to vote for moderates. Bernie Sanders is a far-left loon. Biden is not. Harris is not. Keep to the center. At this point I'd also recommend if you have to vote for a Republican, vote for centrist ones like Lynn Cheney, Mitt Romney, etc.

  5025. "Silicon Valley" California here. Only way to get tested is to be very rich or very sick. Very rich, so you can afford to see the doctor. Very sick where you figure you're going to die anyway and by dying, not have to pay the many thousands of dollars you'll owe.

  5031. Pogroms. I think it will come out that Putin somehow convinced Hamas to attack Israel, convincing them they'd get an area wide war to wipe out Israel. That didn't work out for them, but it's in Putin's interest to open a 2nd front, plus of course, well, pogroms. Pogroms are as Russian as vodka.

  5037. I grew up in Hawaii which has a heavily Japanese culture ... I've had Japanese-Americans here on the US mainland tell me "You're more Japanese than we are!" after discussing a lot of the little cultural things. A lot of the stuff I grew up with, the younger generation often doesn't know about but the older generation does. I came up with the term "egg" or someone who is white on the outside but yellow inside lol. I mean I went to my local 99 Ranch for some stuff and started out by getting a couple of tea eggs, and there's a new gal serving them up, and her astonishment that I like tea eggs was pretty funny. I tried to explain that I learned about tea eggs by my older sister showing me how to make them.

  5040. Yep it's culture. Human brains are very plastic and cultures that esteem intelligence are going to be ... more intelligent. This is really old stuff this guy is pushing out of a book called "The Bell Curve" and also neo-Nazi academic Kevin McDonald who's actually a college professor here in the USA - he believes in the old Nazi theories of genetics and pushes them in his books.

  5043. When I first moved to the area I'm in I used to get lunch from the trucks all the time. I often got enough food that I had leftovers for dinner too, so I felt it was a good deal. Until one day I found a big blue-green fly in the fried rice. That made me a lot less enthusiastic. I don't even see it as their fault, the fly probably got in under the plastic wrap then the heat of the rice did it in. But yuck. Besides doing my own cooking is best.

  5051. Media here in the US is nuts. Everything's told from the Hamas/Hezbollah viewpoint. I mean, I was listening to something on my local NPR radio station called "California Report", and it was a neat story about a family that's mixed Black-Indian, with kids who are Black-Indian, and it was so cute, then right in the middle of it, they're interviewing the family's lovely sounding daughter, and she says something about something being the most important and that's "FREE PALESTINE!!!" and then it's several minutes of rant by the whole family against the "genocide" and general all-around hatred of Jews.

  5065. I knew a guy who looked a lot like your actor even in his 20s and lived on sodas. And, yep, he got pancreatitis. He said on his blog that it made no sense to him, as "only alcoholics get pancreatitis" but yeah, he might have been drinking close to a pound of sugar a day. But wait, there's more. The high-fructose corn syrup used in sodas in the US acts on the liver etc more like alcohol than table sugar does. It's basically alcohol w/o the silliness. And we in the US are raising kids on this stuff. I remember when Red Bull came out; it came in little cans. Now Red Bull, Monster, etc comes in these huge cans and people are drinking it daily, where when it was introduced it was supposed to be a sometime thing, like when you're at a party and want to dance some more. I personally have found Red Bull to be very useful in those rare times I had to be alert in unusual circumstances like a long cross-country drive. It doesn't make me jittery like coffee does and it keeps me alert, yet calm, and I'm able to get to sleep when it's time to. So it's a very good product. But it was never intended to be used the way people use it these days.

  5070. It's the same technique as the Nazis used against the Jews, a small minority with no nation-state (at the time) to defend them or to flee to. They got people to blame all their problems on that group. Now, LGBT people are stateless, they don't have a home state to defend them or to flee to. So they're picked out this time around. If Trump wins, we can expect work camps, death camps, the whole thing because Trump is following the Hitler playbook to the very letter.

  5072. (1) Boomers are dying, I'm on the very young end of boomer and I'm 60, we're getting old. And most of us smoked like chimneys and the older ones of us were hippies and took every drug they could. (2) Life expectancy in the US is going down drastically as capitalism does its thing. More and more poor, and life expectancy if you're homeless is about 35 years less. (3) Gun deaths are now a big factor. (4) Opiates have entered the chat. (5) The above come under that category too but there are all these random "deaths of despair" now. Why did auto accident deaths go up when everyone was in lockdown and the roads were comparatively empty? People are finding all kinds of ways to creatively die these days.

  5080. There's a pretty fair chance the Black security guard is an immigrant or child of immigrants and one thing immigrants tend to have is cohesive families and decent social networks. I'm in the US and there's plenty of anger against immigrants for "takin' er jerbs" but the "secret sauce" of immigrants is they do what's impossible for Americans, they work together. Immigrant parents will bust their asses to give their kids a safe, stable home with warmth and food and so on, give them the best schooling they can, etc. White Americans don't do this. They kick their kids out by age 18, don't give a monkey's toss whether their kids graduate high school much less college, and so on.

  5105. People are really, really, innumerate. I was in Ross today and had a pleasant little conversation with the checker as I paid for my T-shirt and socks. I said I like to come in Tuesdays for the senior discount but I have a class on Tuesdays so I miss 'em. She talked about the discount, how it's not 10% off, but 10% off each. individual. thing. I said it's the same, 10% off the total or 10% off each. individual. thing. She insisted it's different. I said "I've had two years of college math and it's the same ... but you know what? It's a great discount anyway!" since why argue. I didn't want to try to explain the distributive principle of algebra there in Ross. I guess my point is numbers, like thinking about money, may not be interesting to you, but like politics, whether you care or not it "cares" about you. Money's a game and you have to learn to play it at least somewhat competently. Think like we're entering a 2nd Great Depression because we probably are.

I mean there are nuances, like don't be black and renting a car that turns out to have the stub of a marijuana joint in the ashtray from the last renter, in the South. That will get you a life sentence or perhaps a summary execution there by the side of the road. But in most places for most people, illegal drug use really isn't punished and the stuff is super easy to get.

Facebook is even softer on Nazis than YouTube, Reddit, etc. All the media channels love Nazis, because Nazis are pissed off and piss normal people off, and anger gets clicks that's what the Internet is all about.

  5172. I follow a pretty low-carb diet these days (haha ate some fried rice today lol) so I don't buy bread but bread was hella expensive 10+ years ago and I'm sure it's worse now. If I were a bread-eater I'd look into making my own. Now, bread comes in many forms. There are crepes, which are super easy. There's pita bread, which is surprisingly easy. Even making traditional bread isn't hard once you get into the habit of making it. There are biscuits and scones and all sorts of things, soda bread, etc. So look into various breads and see which one(s) might fit into your life and say SeeYa to those $7 loaves of bread.

Me and another customer wondered what was up, and I thought well, maybe it's some trendy new stuff that has the flavor but is clear, or it's water. So I cracked open a bottle and tried it, and it was just water! I took the opened bottle to customer service to tell them about it and they could not be less interested.

  5181. They would close based on me. Sure, I got some food at the hot bar at Whole Foods today, went upstairs and got an (alcohol-free Athletic Brewing "Free Wave") beer and sat and ate and enjoyed, but I'd hardly call that a restaurant. Lots of Asian places near me have cafeteria-style food, you don't sit in and eat, you walk over from your apt. or like I do with one, I get what I feel like that day then ride my bike over to the college campus and eat there. Those aren't restaurants, they're more like hot take-outs. Just like I'd not consider a food truck a "restaurant". I don't go to sit-in-and-eat type places any more. I either cook at home (and my home cooking game is tons better these days) or I get various hot or cold take-out food.

  5184. Basically, 15MPH is the critical speed. Under 15MPH, accidents are minor, above it, they get bad. My own theory is that humans, running, can get up to a top speed of 15MPH so we're built to take crashes up to that speed. I've also noticed that if I hurry, or if I ride like I'm just pooping along, there's not that much difference in how fast I get where I'm going. So take it easy!

  5222. I'm gonna say if you have knowledge and experience in something, you can start a biz from your pocket change. Example: I know how to buy and sell on Ebay. Now, right now I work for someone else and due to Ebay strangeness I'm effectively under a non-compete. But I plan to retire thousands of miles away and will be out from under that and can always do Ebay then, if I want. 2nd example: I've always been "artistic" and am good enough to do casual portraits, window painting for stores, etc. The bar is pretty low for window painting; some pretty awful Santas being painted as I type. There's a guy on YT here who does really nice window painting and has 100's of vids up now. You get some house paint (no kidding) and brushes, follow his tutorials, get a big pane of glass, paint your painting, snap a photo for your show-off to potential customers, scrape it off and do the next. Then go out and around and tell 'em what you can do for 'em. If you have knowledge and experience you know what you can do, and people can tell.

Now I suppose it will be non-white immigrants? Will it become an environment of "Your papers, please?" and if you don't have citizenship papers, off to the camps for you? I've also heard of people being grabbed without being given a chance to retrieve their citizenship papers from their house, and off to INS detention they go.

  5234. Oh my gosh! I came to that same conclusion being of a hated group, white, as a young adult back in Hawaii. I lived in fear, clinging onto any job I could get, and I was in a store and this guy, this BLACK guy, came in and was selling "wheat grass" juice, and the Japanese store owner (the group in power) treated him like an equal because he "owned himself" he was in business for himself. I plan to retire back to Hawaii because it's home, but I will run some little side hustle, and not work for anyone else, because even if they hate you on sight, if you provide a good or service people want, they will look beyond your pariah status and do business with you.

Under capitalism, no matter how many ships come into the port, if you can't sell yourself on the market somehow, you're gonna get hungry. The 1970s were a hard, hungry time for me and I not only knew subsistence fishermen but did subsistence fishing and foraging myself. There was a shipping strike in the early 1970s and I remember using "sugar twin" which was fake sugar lol.

I've actually seen a drone in the wild one other time, at my boss' house (in Fremont so not in the 'valley') it flew over his back yard and dropped firecrackers no shit. I was the only one who even noticed! I call to my boss, "Hey, check it out! A drone!" and he came over to look out the glass door, and the drone kind of sidled away. It got me interested in drones, but it's too pricey a hobby for me. I love drones though.

  5273. I'm in "Silicon Valley" near the airport, and all around me are tons of little machine shops and some electronics shops all of which seem to be buzzing away. I don't know how they're getting the work, but they are. However, it's not big production, it's not Ford and it's not Kodak. It's small, "boutique" fabrication and a lot of it might be for aerospace or medical because of laws that such things have to be produced domestically. I'm gonna say it for the umpteenth time: An American should be able to set up in their garage and make shoes or brooms or something and make fine money, but no one wants to do it. And furniture, furniture is crazy! Crazy prices for crap that's not even IKEA junque quality. A guy could make furniture and provide for his family just fine. It's just that no one wants to do it. I think my generation - and I'm 58 - is the last one that grew up working with their hands.

I'd love to retire to japan if I could hack the language but in my mid-50s I think I'm too old to make the change well, but I grew up in Hawaii which is kind of an interesting case.... it's about 1/2 the cost of living in Hawaii, if you're local and live like a local, as opposed to San Jose California where I am now. And if anything it's become an even more Japanese place than when I left. So it's English-speaking, but you can "dial" up or down how "Japanese" you want to live. For instance, the version of Buddhism I follow is big in Hawaii. I remember the old days, traditional houses didn't have "aircon" in Hawaii, the way the house is designed you don't need it.

  5282. I wish I could find the citation but apparently what really turned the corner in large-scale chicken and egg farming was supplementation with vitamin D. Before that, chickens didn't live as well, lay as well, etc. I make sure to take vitamin D at least in the winter, long-sleeve part of the year, but now I'm just going to take it year-round.

  5291. Sounds on a par with the misconceptions about "Silicon Valley" where I live. I make $17k a year, will probably never make more than that, and I'm doing better than most. There are a very few making "big" money but there are hordes and hordes of very poor people here, and 99% of tech jobs don't pay as well as being a janitor, or washing dishes, or mopping floors somewhere. I was an idiot to study tech, and should have just gotten the easiest degree I could get, just to be able to say I'd have a 4-year degree. Then I could take a few night classes and Hey, I'm a computer engineer, or whatever. Or I could have gone to Japan to teach English, actual English, and try to undo the work of some instructors over there who are teaching them Scouse. Or, if I were really smart, I'd have studied music, which I was actually interested in - I'm just learning a bit now and I can go out on the sidewalk and make the kind of money 99% of techies can only dream of. But back to Silicon Valley - we have massive homeless camps, massive areas where all the houses were built 100+ years ago and not in a good way because they were shacks to begin with. I've got Mexican immigrants telling me they can't wait to go back home because the pay's better there and they can live better. And if you look it up, they are indeed going back home. Silicon Valley's a modern place for a very few people, but for the masses it's never really left the 1970s.

  5301. As a poor person, fine, as long as those additional taxes go toward my Social Security because it's the only thing keeping poor people from killing themselves en masse past age 62. If the rationale here is to tax things poor people get suckered into, like sugary drinks and cigarettes, then yeah, great. Those things are BAD for you, stupids! Why do you think the rich aren't smoking these days and are drinking stuff like Hint water? "Everybody has vices" - again as a poor person, I've quit drinking, never smoked, got off sugary drinks. So, well, what are "vices" to me are pretty healthy things like vegetables. I don't see those being taxed any time soon. TL;DR: Trying to make me hate Mike. Result: still don't hate Mike.

  5302. What the actual shit? I'm white-passing at least and grew up in Hawaii. I caught a lot of shit. Lots of discrimination. And I can say this stuff the Dump is talking about is utterly false. I make less than $20k a year. I don't even have a car or any markers of wealth. I am poor. Yet I've had no problem getting all three of my shots. All from government run sites, private places like CVS involved long waits, but I found gov't sites and and went right in and got jabbed it was great. First two were at a county administrative complex and the third at a library. Both the patients and staff at these sites were of all races, it was great to see.

  5303. I hope he gets some prison time to keep him crying based on the fact that he took a gun he was not supposed to possess, had his Mom drive him (just how white can you be?) and was out gunning (lol) to shoot someone. However, it's sounding more and more like in the very short time window of the actual shooting, he was actually defending himself. It's Zimmerman all over again. Yes Zimmerman may have been in the wrong following that guy around, I might add because the 911 operator told him too because 911 ops love to do the "let's you and him fight" thing from their nice safe chairs, but at the actual time of the shooting Zimmerman was fighting for his life. What a world we live in.

  5335. Very rough numbers: 400lbs of sugar a year = about 1/4 lb of sugar a day. Well, 500g is a bit over a pound, so that 1/4 lb is approx 100g of sugar a day and that's completely believable as Americans eat tons of white bread, everything's got sugar put in even things like yogurt and salad dressing, a can of soda is 30g of sugar etc. So a 1/4 lb of sugar a day is a very believable amount for the average American to eat a day. And that's just sugar, that's not counting the starches.

  5337. Oh Gawd people projecting their fantasies .... I grew up in Hawaii and I can't even recognize the place from how people talk about it and think about it .... there were good and bad things about growing up in Hawaii but it's not the fucking Disney set people have it made out to be these days. Being white there was no treat, you had to have eyes on the back of your head, there were NO fucking jobs you could get unless it was literally shoveling shit, which I did. People were MEAN; if you were short one penny at the store you were just SOL and had to go find a penny somewhere. Very mean, spiteful culture. Everyone's racist, and while race determines your entire life in the US in general, it's like 10X as much a life-determiner in Hawaii. I may have grown up there but my going back there even to retire would be like Winston moving back to S. Africa for the nice weather. Just. No. Fucking. Way. What's funny is, here in the nation-state of California (where I was actually born) people talk it down tons and in reality California's a lot nicer than people's image of it.

I'd go out and weed a garden or do some thing, make $3 or maybe $5, then come home and ask my sisters what they felt like for dinner and how much money I'd earned, we'd agree on something, and eat that night. No work = no food. Or, fish, foraging, etc. But you ate, what you earned each day because you could not save anything, it would be stolen from you.

I stopped in at a convenience store where bottles of distilled water was on sale and bought one or two. That was my water. Same thing, head felt like it was swelling etc. And all I needed was some V-8, beef jerky, nice salty junk food.

They'll start persecuting those who are "Not Aryan Enough" like Catholics or maybe Christians at all, keep in mind Hitler planned to replace Christianity with some sort of "Aryan Church". In other words, they'll start cannibalizing themselves.

  5374. At least in Asian cultures, much more often than not, parents will bust their asses to give their children the best start in life they can. They will support the children while they go to college, help them study to get good grades all through elementary and high school, really boost them like the primary stage of a rocket. In white American culture, parents more often than not do not help the kids, and kick the kids out of the house by age 18 - notice I say "by" because they will sooner, if they can. It's really common. Often white American parents will charge their kids rent as soon as they're working at all, often before they're 18, or even try to get back the cost of raising them. The kids have to take out loans to go to college or trade school because the parents gave them zero help or even took any money they earned so the kid can't even save on their own for college/trade school. It's really common in the US for your parents to die in their 60s while you're in your 40s and still paying off the college loans you had to take. Asian culture takes the long view. Plan ahead for generations! White/Western culture takes the short view, "Have fun now and worry about the results later". This is why you see bumper stickers on cars in the US saying things like "We're spending our kids' inheritance" they actually brag about it! I personally think that if your parents helped you, you should help them when they're old. If your parents are selfish and hyper-individualistic like white American parents tend to be and didn't help you, then fuck 'em.

  5377. We're all fighting Fascism because we're all on its hit list. So you're a German Jew from Argentina. I'm part Central Asian and thus "racially impure". If you're POC at all, LGBT, of the wrong political beliefs, if you have any sense of sympathy toward other humans or even animals, you're on the Fascists (s)hit list and they are serious. They are going on national media and calling for shooting Democrats and even Republicans who are not loyal enough to Donald Trump. These folks seem like a bunch of Keystone Kops compared to the Nazis 1.0, but actually the original Nazis were considered clownish and buffoonish at first also. Let me reiterate, they are dead serious and who they want to make dead is you, unless you're just the right kind of white person with a pedigree of pure whiteness going back 6 generations or whatever it is, and precisely the right political beliefs. And even then, let's say you're "pure" enough, if you change your mind, grow a conscience, or are seen as a threat to whoever's above you in the hierarchy, you can be offed in a moment. Remember how Hitler's faction treated Roehm's faction of the original Nazis.

In the history of Judaism there have been several false Messiahs, the Jesus cult is just one that took off with the Gentiles.

  5400. I got prescribed a course of strong antibiotics and was warned, they might give me the shitz - which they did. I simply made sure to drink Yakult every day, which is a little yoghurt drink they sell in Asian markets. I was fine as long as I drank my Yakult. I found it handier than yoghurt because there's less bulk to it, and a lot of yoghurt has a fair amount of lactic acid in it - if you're getting the real stuff and not that stuff that's essentially candy. So if you're on a course of antibiotics, take the full course, and take some active yoghurt too, including for a while past the end of the course of antibiotics.

  5407. A "small drip coffee" which is what I ask for is $3.50, which is still a bit much but a bottle of coffee at Whole Foods is about $4, and a can of Doutour iced black coffee from Japan is $2.25 at my local Japanese market. They make unsweetened Mr. Brown (Taiwanese brand of canned coffee) and one of those is $1.50 at 99 Ranch so there's that. The $7 coffee is full of sugar and crap you don't need. They'll put milk and sugar in plain old coffee if you need that but I drink it black. I"m using Starbucks (and other coffee shops) as study places for the next few months so I feel I'm paying for the study environment so I don't mind paying $10 or so for a coffee, a roll, and putting a buck in the tip jar.

  5408.  @gladlawson61  They're one and the same now. Dirty Diaper Don is following the Hitler playbook to the very letter. The NSDAP (Nazi) party was a stand-alone party until Hitler took it over and made it into a personality cult. The Republican party is a personality cult now and to go anywhere in it you have to swear a personal loyalty to Donnie. There were people in the NSDAP who didn't agree with Hitler and they were silenced. In the same way, Republicans who don't agree with Dump are or will be silenced. If Dumpo wins the election, one of the first things will be a Night Of The Long Knives where "Never Trump" Republicans will be massacred in quantity. Less prominent ones will be some of the first into the camps, in a direct parallel with how Dachau, the first camp, was filled with dissident Germans first.

  5423. Being in a concentration camps has to be the greatest mindfuck of all time. I remember after losing everything in the crash of 2008, feeling like I'd been reset to when I was 14 years old, the only difference being that when I was 14 I didn't have a motorcycle and now I did. But I was back to earning the same money, a few dollars a day, no more rent, bills, money in the bank, none of the grown up stuff (except I guess the motorcycle). So that at least some people might regress or appear to, is not surprising to me. I think the biggest take-away is that the Holocaust was such a huge event that killed so many millions, that out of the few who survived, there are going to be stories of weirdness, a lot of people who squeaked through are going to be, well, weird. Some in a bad way and some in a good way.

Maybe I'm just old and crusty but I look at shows like Arthur or Bluey and on the surface it's so nice and cheerful and middle or upper-middle class, but the nice houses and new/newish cars and posh clothes and all that didn't just happen by themselves. For every wealthy Arthur or Bluey family there's a pyramid-base of poor supporting it, just in their own country and then an even larger base below that of impoverished 3rd-world people supporting the whole thing.

The USA is actually actively "breeding" the virus in that they're waiting until it breaks out in prisons, then when there's a good chance every prisoner has been exposed to it, letting tons of them out. Where do you think they'll go? To their cabin in the Hamptons? No, they're crooks. They're going to go out and wander the streets, go in and out of stores, commit more crime, etc. A more perfect way of spreading the virus can hardly be imagined.

If the Germans can't do invasions and genocide on their own, at least they can purposefully sit back and let someone else do it, and passively help the little dictator do all the damage he can. All Putin needs to do now is grow a silly little mustache and all of Germany will be in love with him.

And from what I read he was, if only white people voted. The thing is, non-white people voted and the Romneybot didn't win. 2016 on, I never miss an election. 2018 was pretty good, and this is why the forces of evil are trying to keep everyone but the "right" (white) people vote in 2020.

Use a test sensitive enough, and you can make everyone you test look like a druggie because they've merely handled money, or been near people who take the drugs. Floyd was targeted by the cops because the store owner thought he was passing a fake $10 bill. In these desperate times, even before the coronavirus, I've seen bills as low as $5 counterfeited. Floyd may have had no idea the bill is fake, or he may have known. But ... BUT ... I am white or at least white-passing. If I passed a fake $10 and the cops were called, there would be a discussion not the cops kneeling on my neck until dead, with other cops and EMTs not making a peep.

  5469. The USA is not a "sophisticated country" it's a third-world country with pockets of wealth and learning, which take great pains to keep the hoi polloi out. We have a more rigid class system than the UK does now, and less social mobility than just about anywhere. I have to confess, I make about $15k a year - this is not a mistype, fifteen thousand a year, US dollars. I had cellulitis on my ear and it cost me $1000 or so out of pocket and this is with all kinds of subsidies for the poor. Access to medicine or a doctor at all is extremely difficult and expensive for the non-wealthy masses in the US. SO ... the expensive antibio's etc they sold me didn't work, and in fact mupirocin-resistant cellulitis is a thing. So I got ahold of a bottle of Dettol, had to pay I dunno, $40 or $50 for it on Amazon, and I was putting Dettol straight onto my ear and rubbing it is. The end result was I lost a layer of skin, but I cured the cellulitis! Good old Dettol, popular with the tattoo'ing community in the US, fixed my ear where extremely expensive US "sick care" did not. I now use the Dettol according to the instructions, dilute, and my ear's staying well.

These days, I can go to a town inhabited by the (now much older) hippies, Santa Cruz, and they are insufferable. Smug, nasty, very entitled. There are no poor hippies. Big houses, expensive cars, and contempt for the working-class are par for the course. Your typical "Karen" was a hippy in her younger days. I think people confuse the hippies with the people the hippies claimed to admire: The old socialists and social activists from the old 1930s folk/protest music people to the Beat generation. Those were people who really were poor or were willing to become poor to further social causes. Not the hippies! A hippy would never willingly make less money. Being a hippy was all about not being sent to the Vietnam War and having some working class kid have to go instead, and hangin' out and bein' groovy until the Vietnam War blew over and you could inherit your father's business/stock portfolio/real estate/etc.

As a culture, Judaism esteems children and wants them to do well, the long-time view is used as opposed to the culture I'm most familiar with, Gentile American culture, which thinks very short-term.

Plasma, however, can be sold and people selling plasma are from our very large class people who are poor and desperate. The US is kind of the Saudi Arabia of plasma, actually, because our laws allow one to sell their plasma. But it's pretty much our homeless, destitute, drug addicts, and so on. I personally tried to sell plasma once, when I was first out on my own and I didn't weight enough - too poorly fed and scrawny. Poverty in the US is really off the hook.

I had a friend here in Silicon Valley who lost electrical power because the building had a fire a couple units over and the landlord didn't want to fix it and neither did the tenants ... or something ... Anyway, he ran his business on a small Honda generator, he just had to run a couple of computers, the lights, and maybe a radio. It worked fine and it was cheaper than the electric company. A much larger part of Silicon Valley runs this way then people think. I know places here with dirt floors. Walking distance to Adobe HQ and ... dirt floors. I could go on and on ... In any case, don't pick on S. Africa and think places like the US are ideal.

I'm fortunate for a Silicon Valley person as I make a whole $17k a year and can save quite a bit of that. Yes, I'm making less than I did in 1986, dollar-for-dollar. I've gotten into minimalism, don't own a car and hope to never own one again, try to participate on-the-grid no more than necessary. Two more years in this idiotic place and I can move back where I grew up and where it's a lot cheaper - Hawaii.

It's no wonder Trump hates the enemy because he's the enemy of the US and all it stands for and he senses that the military is his enemy because the US is.

  5599. Not long ago, a family was camping in a park in Arizona and no, not far out in the wilderness, not at all. Well, a mountain lion grabbed their baby out of their tent, and took it into a bush. The guy yelled and swung branches around etc. and got the lion away from the baby and rescued it, and they called the rangers, and sure enough, the lion was hanging around hoping for a 2nd try. The ranger shot the lion in the chest which given they don't have a large frontal area and it was dusk, was a pretty good piece of shooting if you ask me. Anyway dingoes are surely smarter than mt. lions so it's sad the mother had to go through such an ordeal before she was believed.

You have to be scrupulously honest and run a tight ship to last on Ebay - shipping must be fast, you must always respond to customer questions, etc. because they can really hurt you by lowering your rating so you really have to think in terms of "white glove" service.

Socialism led the space race and even now, the US has to ask the Russians pretty please if they want to go into space. Socialism pushed science and technology and provided a better standard of living in the 1960s, the US's heyday, than people in the US had. You guys need to learn more about Socialism. Capitalism needs stupid, uneducated, hate-filled people to keep going. This is why actual first world countries are so much more socialist than the US.

Fun Fact: Under capitalism, a teenage girl living with her mom and just living a regular life isn't worth much, but get her sick the Legionnaire's and she's worth a LOT because of all the medical care; even better if it drags on for years. This is a parallel to the near-worthlessness of a young Black man who lives a regular life but find a way to throw him in prison and he's worth about $50k a year. Crime - real or imaginary - and sickness and such things actually raise GDP and show up as "productivity". Uncle Marx warned us about this.

  5614. A large number of Americans follow something called The Turner Diaries, look it up - book was written back in the 80s or so, it's a staple of white nationalism in the US. The book is pretty depressing, but horribly so as it ends with everyone non-white being lined up and killed. The Americans who voted from Trump are of the mind that the US needs to become a whites-only "ethno-state" and by white it's meant just the right kind of "pure" white and with the correct political views. In a nutshell, just look up the racial policies of the Nazis of the 1920s-1940s and you'll understand 99% of the Nazis 2020s-? I'm not black, not even one little bit. I'm pretty white-passing. But I congratulate black people in the US for wising up and equipping themselves. If I had a lot more money, I'd probably buy 'em guns.

The problem is, that covers the self-indulgent fucks who went to Woodstock, and younger, "Generation Jones" types like myself who only knew of Woodstock as something old hippies talked about - we were all about the Talking Heads. Viet Nam was over with before we were out of middle school. And while it was still just possible if you did everything just right, to get the kind of life the older boomers got handed on a silver platter, for almost all of us our lives were pretty much like those of the X'ers.

You can look it up. The reason propane / natgas / butane stink is they put a chemical called mercaptan in it so it's easy to tell if there's a gas leak. Mercaptan doesn't affect how the gas burns, its cheap to make, and a little goes a long way as we're very sensitive to that kind of smell.

  5648. In very hot places, dashboard covers keep the dashboard from overheating and warping, and they help the plastic stay in much nicer condition anyway. There are parts of the US like the Southwest where they make a ton of sense, also either steering wheel covers or driving gloves because the steering wheel gets almost too hot to hold otherwise.

  5649. I read a few years ago now that if the USA had the 1918 flu and had the same reaction to it, to be proportional to today's larger population, the USA would lose 2 million people. And I think when all the dust has settled and it can be looked at rationally, it will be found that that US will have lost ... 2 million people. I know we're well over a million and probably close to a million and a half so far.

  5650. The US is equal parts batshit crazy and just plain stupid, so of course it's thought that things go the way they do because "Gawd" intended.

  5651. TL;DW: The idea is to, when no one's ready to absorb 14 million people, to keep them into work camps. Hell we've got people planning to put children who are on any kind of medication, even diabetes medication, into work camps. This is supposed to make them healthy. I guess if you have type 1 diabetes or a lot of conditions that require you to take medication, if going to a work camp with no medication kills you, well then you were just "weak", a "loser" or a "sucker" in the world of the far-right.

In the theories of the collapse of Easter Island, Westerners love to essentially say to themselves, "The Easter Islanders were stupid brown people and of course they doomed themselves, they're not smart (and white) like us". They find the possibility that the collapse came because of Western exploitation like "blackbirding" which is what capturing slaves was called in the Pacific, Western diseases, etc. very difficult to imagine. Meanwhile while watching this I'm getting tons of ads for either cars/SUVs, cruise ship journeys, expensive clothes made in sweatshops, etc.

Managers hire their own race as a rule. The only exception is, if the manager is white, they are forced to hire non-whites and they will hire a mix of workers. So: If the workers are X it's because their manager is X. If they're Y, their manager is Y. And if they're a mix of X, Y, Z, etc then the manager is white.

Since I have zero paperwork and, well, any relatives that stayed in Lithuania would have been wiped out mid-20th century, I'm taking the conversion route. I'm converting Reform, and let me tell you it's not easy. To give an example of how Reform can be more difficult: If I met a Conservative rabbi who had super genealogy powers and could find paperwork finding out I'm Jewish anyway, under Orthodox Judaism I'm in. Under Reform, nope, I still have to convert because I was not raised in any formal religion. Mom's Yiddishisms and calling us "bubuleh" don't count.

And the motorcycle gangs formed because even back in the 50s it was becoming apparent that it was shitty to be working-class. Those guys may not have been able to put it into proper words, but they knew they were getting a raw deal, hence the "Pissed Off" etc name of the original club.

  5742. 3 words: Make it so when Israel was founded, about 1 million Jews in the Middle East were suddenly chased out of the whole area, often having to leave everything they had, houses, businesses, etc. and had to walk to Israel, maybe pushing a baby carriage with what little they were able to grab last minutes. An important point: Israel took them in because they care about their people, they were Jews, Mizrahi Jews, Jews who'd been living in Iran and Morocco and so on, a bit different culture than the Ashkanazi Jews who'd come in from Europe, but it didn't matter, they were fellow Jews and they took them in. Now, are the Arabs saying they don't care about fellow Arabs?

The last time I picked up a prescription, I got talking with the pharmacist and he was a third of a million dollars in debt, to work in a Walgreens! Any kind of education is expensive as hell in the USA but especially medical education. Compare and contrast Cuba's training of tons and tons of doctors and Mao's "barefoot doctor" programs. Also USSR, any sane, rational, country really. So it's extremely difficult for a US citizen to go into the medical field, but that's OK for the capitalists because they can simply import people who learned to be doctors, nurses, etc for free or next to it, from rational countries. This is why you see Indian, Chinese, etc doctors. All nice folks by the way. Doctors are doctors - capitalism is the disease.

It was OK, but the guy who owns the place could never shut up about what a great guy he is, how much good he does, etc yadda yadda YADDA. And of course the guy's happier if he's got lot of syncophants, so after I moved there and cleaned the place up quite a bit so it looks more like a rural place and less like a serial killer's hideout, he started inviting more ppl to live there and it became a huge drama-fest. And I ended up stuck with a ton of the work.

The refugees I worked with had coherent family structures and when they lacked that, they formed something like family structures and worked together - something Americans refuse to do. When I worked with them they were electronics techs as I was, but they started out picking strawberries and all the worst jobs and worked their way up. They didn't get into drugs at all, admittedly the older ones were devout smokers or cigarettes, but that was it. Very light drinkers if they drank at all. Very disciplined. Your "American Citizen" out on the street is typically a druggy with a police record, has burned all their bridges with family and friends, and has put themselves there.

  5763. That's sad about the pier. Those mussels and gooseneck barnacles were a living part of the environment and in fact the gooseneck barnacles are a delicacy in Europe and it was only a matter of time before local fishermen kept them trimmed down. What probably actually happened is some Corona del Mar housewife's kids got scratched on them and she raised bloody hell.

Marx 101 this is the "reserve army of the unemployed" it's capitalism working as designed - you have to have a certain stratum of the population living in poverty and misery, the poverty to hold wages down, and the misery to keep millions of disillusioned workers from disengaging from capitalism to live "poor but happy".

  5767. His views came from Christianity, and also the "social darwinist" theories that were popular in the US. There's really no American who isn't happily living on land that the original people were genocided off of. Anyone older than 60 will remember the tons of movies we saw as kids where the "Indians" were the bad guys to be killed off and the "cowboys" the good guys. Then there's the whole Viet Nam war thing, where Americans who had no damn business being there, killed all those civilians and farmers etc., people who were no danger to anyone, and this led to all those awful "Viet Nam War" movies where the Americans, the baddies, are treated as both victims and heroes. The "taming of the West" was even popularized in books German kids read, and Hitler's favorite author was one Karl May, who'd never even visited the American West but wrote plenty about it. The young Hitler was nuts over his books.

Anyone who votes Conservative/Republican/Trump from here on out has to literally be fine with bayoneting babies etc - the whole Nazi deal. I, as a humanist and Leftist, am not at all happy with Biden, but we've got a small reprieve for now, a bit of a breather.

Then I saw "Outdoor Chef Life" on YouTube here, he was big on going to the beach, catching some fish, and cooking them up on the beach and early on, he used an Iwatani butane stove. There are a lot of different brands but Iwatani is sort of the gold standard. I could see that thing cooked great, so I got one and I love it. $1.25 of butane lasts me a couple of weeks and that's with heating laundry and bath water too. These little butane stoves are very popular all over Asia.

I got a roast chicken dinner, thigh/leg quarter and mashed potatoes with butter and gravy, and salad or veggies I forget which. Great stuff! I was mildly overweight if overweight at all. People were appalled that I was eating this big meal, but my work kept me pretty active, and it was the first I'd eaten that day - I was practically doing OMAD - One Meal A Day, also known as a form of intermittent fasting. So I chowed down, and everyone else ate their whatevers, probably something "diet" or "skinny" which means high carb low fat, and then had dessert (I never eat dessert) and then an hour or so later, we're sitting around talking and the subject comes around to the ever-present discussion of "that extra 10 lbs we can't ever seem to get rid of" and I looked around the table and in front of every overweight to obese HAM radio person was a slice of pie that was practically a quarter of a pie. And you know if they're keeping food diaries, they're not counting that pie! But yeah, insulin resistance, it means the beetus is right around the corner.

  5808. It's very difficult to get capitalism to solve the problems of capitalism. In US history, it's only happened once, and that was in the 1930s when we were getting very close to having a much-needed socialist revolution. It was not kind-heartedness on the part of our oligarchs that gave us the New Deal, it was one of them, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, getting elected president and FDR telling the rest of the rich they have to make some concessions or they were all going to end up hanging from lamp posts. The result was the "New Deal" which once WWII was over with, our oligarchs have done their darndest to dismantle ever since.

  5814. It is, in fact, a farce. The name referred to Jews living in the British Mandate then when Israel gained independence, the term went dormant because it didn't apply to anyone. There were Jews, and Arabs. Then the USSR decided, in the mid-1960s, to push the use of the term for Arabs who were in Israel; part of the continual Arab push to colonize the area. Keep in mind Arabs even overran a good part of Europe centuries ago, until they were pushed out. This is the same thing. Arabs are the actual colonizers, with Russian backing. Jews are the people fighting for their native land. But we can't expect Americans to understand this, as 100s of years ago the native inhabitants of the land now known as the US were genocided and Americans now will tell you with a straight face that they're "native" to this or that region on the land now.

But he's not an American, he grew up in a country with a decent social safety net, accessible education, long-term thinking in tons of things from health care to transportation, etc. He comes from an actual first-world country. I loathe the Republican "Party" but back then, it was not so evident how evil it is, and it may have been easier for Arnold to run for Governor under that party.

  5831. The beginning part, about minorities, is pretty much how it is in the USA too. You might have non-mainstream foods or holidays, but you're expected to think the same, have the same aspirations, etc as the mainstream. A good example is Jews in the USA. Jews have been in the USA for centuries, but there are still frustrating or hilarious frictions between the mainstream and the fact that Jewish people have different holidays, and are not Christians. You can literally hear a lot of Americans' heads explode when some Jewish person is trying to carefully explain to them that they don't do Easter or Christmas, don't consider this Jesus fellow to be God, etc. That some more observant Jews will actually choose to study all their lives instead of chasing "The American Dream" utterly blows people's minds here in the US. Not chasing after material goods is considered really deviant here.

  5838. You assume they have any intent at all to play by the rules. They will try another coup and this time they'll have had some practice. For instance, the election was only saved - that's right the US is only still at least a sort of democracy - because some quick-thinking interns grabbed the box with the electoral votes in it and ran with it. And even then, every politician (except for a very few "loyal" ones) would have been slaughtered except the fact that one hero SS agent shot one of the ghouls and it turned the mob back. Trust me the Nazis have studied all of this minutely and they will not make these mistakes again. They'll go for the interns and any boxes of votes. They'll "shock troops" who are even more drugged up, PCP probably, who will be rehearsed and prepared to keep advancing until actually rendered inoperable by multiple shots. The Nazis may make other mistakes in 2024 but they will be a much harder force, going in much more trained and armed. They're probably already training in Nazi strongholds like Idaho and Texas.

  5839. The US, less than a year ago, nearly fell to a fascist coup. The American public, already well-armed, has bought up all the guns and ammo they can get, and we right-wing groups planning all kinds of terrorist attacks right now. The ruling class in the US, most of them, are members of a cult that preaches bringing on the End Times. John Pilger's excellent documentary "America's Coming War With China" lays out the situation well, not only vis a vis China but how Americans treat Asians in general. Not only has China not forgotten the Century Of Humiliation, but the insults have been continual ever since. Honestly, though, China does not want war. All China/Asia has to do is sit back and watch the US self-destruct.

  5848. All China has to do is "lead by example" if people in poor countries (like the USA will become) can see that life is better in China, then they'll want to adopt Chinese ways of living and social structure etc. Japan is doing this. When I was little, "made in Japan" was a curse, and I remember I guess my dad bought a bike for my older brother (I was still on tricycles) and it was "made in Japan" and I'm sure what really happened was my dad didn't assemble it right, anyway, I guess my older brother rode it down the street and it broke somehow and he got some scratches and scuffs. And my mother swore she's never buy a bike that's made in Japan again. By the 80s this had changed and now, "made in Japan" means extremely high quality. And how look at all the outsiders who wish they could live in Japan, it really means they wished they could live in that kind of society. China can do this too. They've had true golden ages. Their hard times gave birth to Confucius and his practical wisdom. China might be comparable to say 1960s Japan, where some friends of my family lived when I was very little, and later in the 70s they'd occasionally joke about the "honey wagon" etc. But imagine a country coming as far as Japan did from 1960s to 2019, but many times the populace and land mass.

Their territory needs to be carved up among the allies, and the remaining orcs need to be encapsulated in a small area to be called "Muscovia" and kept isolated like North Korea is. Wall it off and just ship in lots of vodka and krokodil.

  5880. Depending on whose stats you look at, there are 13-18 empty houses for every homeless man, woman, and child. So there's a lot of unused real estate. (Not that I think homeless should be moved into empty houses, instead camps should be set up like the presently defunct Fort Ord, to house them - let them have 24/7 trash TV and junk food, some arts and crafts and classes, and a path for the very few who want to get training and re-join regular life. Most will want to sit on their asses and I say, Let 'em, just let 'em do it in a fairly hygienic place rather than on our streets. OK so we have a lot of empty, "speculative" houses. First we need to ban foreign ownership. Secondly there needs to be a tax, say 30% of value per annum, for 2nd, 3rd, etc houses. Then there needs to be a relaxation of zoning so a person can have, say, a barbershop and have living quarters in the back or upstairs. That's been traditional for 100s of years and right now is only possible in "grandfathered" areas of the US.

And never-ever forget the gloriousness of Japanese cooking shows! I loved watching those as a kid, and these days I keep up with "Kimagure Cook" who is just wonderful .... He cooks everything!

  5890. According to the official "fat bad, carbs/sugar good" message taught us by the Food Pyramid and so on, yes, this place is trying to kill people. In reality, this place can't kill you. Even if you eat a huge burger covered in cheese, the most your body will do is deal with the extra bulk by having a hefty shit the next day. If your body can't handle all the fat, it'll be a hefty, greasy, shit. No biggie. Humans, as meat-eaters, have had the occasional feast on some large animal and a good meat gorge is not foreign to the human organism at all. What is foreign to the human organism is tons of carbs, tons of sugars, plentiful alcohol, and very little exercise and very little greens/fiber. That's what kills you - getting diabetic or fat or both, being in a constant state of inflammation due to high blood sugar, and dying of the diabetes, or some cancer or another, etc. Extra bonus points for all the effects of plentiful alcohol, like liver damage, ascites, brain problems, etc. You can't just stay away from 'demon rum' and eat meat'n'cheese, and get off scot free. You've got to eat your greens. "Meat and leaves" is what I call the ideal diet. The greens have tons of vitamins and the fiber keeps your insides happy and clean, so you don't have to worry so much about colon cancer. The association between red meat and colon cancer in the US stems from the types of people who eat lots of red meat don't tend to eat veggies. Ideally you want to be an enthusiastic meat eater who also loves veggies. I'd happily eat at the Heart Attack Grill. I'd be a bit bummed they don't also have some nice grilled veggies, but that's OK I'd have a salad later.

And Japan lost millions to flat-out famine after the war. Japan was partying hard in the 80s but come '89 and it all came crashing down. I think China needs to remember its Communist roots and look out for the little people.

But it was hoped for, because just like Hitler being happy when Japan opened a 2nd front against the Allies, Putin's glad if his Middle-Eastern ghouls-in-arms can open a 2nd front. Somehow it never occurs to these creeps that the US has been prepared to fight a 2-front World War since, well, the last one.

Think it's silly to pick up a bao or a chicken leg with chopsticks to eat it? You won't after getting crazy stares for using your hand(s) and I learned this at a 99 Ranch here in the US (heavily Asian area). In the US, the classes are very insular. the middle class doesn't mix with the working class, the upper class holds everyone else in contempt, etc. Plus the racial thing where you'll get some hell for not keeping to your own race. So you've got people who've been around only their own culture/people all their lives, and for whom the US/West have been sort of "the enemy" within living memory ... don't worry if there's a bit of friction here and there.

No, we build our houses out of kindling and in Hawaii, wooden shingle roofs are all the rage. There's a kind of wood, I don't know what it's called but it's almost as light as balsa wood and it's used for roofs and not painted or anything. This would be the 1970s, house in Pupukea I lived in (and watched being built, and all the other houses being built were made this same way) older buildings might have tile roofs etc., but in the US there's a long tradition of building with the cheapest, most fire-prone materials possible.

You do stuff but with like, 50% computing power, and don't remember what you did. So you don't make good decisions. When he shot the taser back at the cops, he did what most people do under stress, he "heels" the shot, so the darts went over the cop's head. All they had to do after that was charge in and tackle him. Easy-peasy. I don't know why they don't just have a big net they can throw over people and have wondered this since Rodney King.

Escape to France and pick grapes for a decade, learn French natively and be a good egg, and you can life a decent life. In the USA when you get old you're supposed to become homeless and go out on the street and die.

  6004. Congrats! The reason why, in relation to the population, almost no one is a successful YouTuber, is sheer lack of access to technology and time. First, you need good internet access. The average person has dial-up or really slow "broadband". I'm in Silicon Valley, literally walking distance to PayPal and a bunch of other stuff you've heard of. It would take me an hour and a half to upload one MINUTE of video. To realistically be an actual YouTuber, you need a T1 line at least, either paying for it yourself or having access somehow due to some connection. Next, you need really good equipment. Not a 10 year old laptop and an iPhone 5. You need whatever is Apple's latest video editing machine or the Windows equivalent. And you need to stuff it with some very expensive software. Then you need TIME. Serious amounts of time. Saved-up-to-live-on-for-5-years time, or parents-supporting-you time. Editing videos takes time, and even guys like "Nomadic Fanatic" take hours and hours to edit his videos. Then you have to have something to say. A sport, hobby, occupation, political stance, something. You have to be interested in it and stay interested. This is enough typing considering my text upload rate is only about 1 character per second so this takes time.

  6007. In US prisons, prisoners are literally slaves of the state the US never did away with slavery look up the 13th amendment. Also prisons are often for-profit in the US so there's little to no interest in actually helping a prisoner do well in life after they've served their time. It's profitable to have prisoners re-offend and go back to prison.

Now that's gone and what's left is muscovia which is a gangster state, not really even a country, just a shitty part of the world that's full of criminals who are still living in the Dark Ages.

  6014. And these people are so white .... Now take it easy everyone, I'm white and grew up in American white culture. I mean, we knew the Pledge of Allegiance before starting school; I remember practicing it in our yard in Orange County, California. White American culture is the most radically individualistic culture there is, outside of failed culture like that of the Iks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ik_people#The_Mountain_People and some maladaptive cultures found in areas devastated by long periods of war. Once you are 18, you are to be out of the house and whether you sink or swim is no longer of any concern of your parents, siblings, relatives, or anyone. If you fail, you fail alone. A slightest help, that could make a big difference, will not be extended to you. Once you are old, or if you have any kind of disability, you're looked down on by everyone else, who just laugh at you, never thinking ahead that the same fate will probably befall them. You are one car accident, one sickness, one financial downfall from being right out on the street with the people in this video, and somehow it's considered normal to look with contempt on anyone who's homeless, even if it's a relative, a friend, an old school buddy, any link at all. The right wingers are worried about White American culture dying, but then they wish Hitler would come back too.

If we're going to lose our houses, our savings, become homeless etc., we're only willing to take that risk by seeing a doctor if we think we're probably going to die anyway.

Many who snuggled up to Nazism 1.0 did rather well for themselves, for a while anyway.

  6035. OK first work out a safe house (or 2 or 3) where your family can bug out to on quick notice. Next, work out a completely distant place or places for yourself and SerpentZA. The US will not protect you. Trump paid about $750 in taxes to the US for 2019 and $200k to China for 2019 so the present regime will happily hand you over. I think the best you can do is try to get someplace where China doesn't have long tentacles, or the US either. Russia might be an option. The UK, maybe. I'm not sure about Iceland, there's a US base there. This is the time to start thinking seriously about this. You're also going to have to go dark. Your videos are great but are you willing to be killed just so you can make a few more? You need a new ID in a new country and I guess you're pretty good at working on cars and motorcycles and there's your new career. But not a peep more online. Not if you want to live anyway.

  6037. I just had my 2nd booster (4th shot total) a couple of weeks ago and I actually didn't get as sick as I did from my 3rd. Here in the US we seem to want to get our cases up again, as pretty much all mask, distancing, quarantine, etc. rules are being dropped. I myself have no idea if I've had covid or not, as testing is difficult and expensive to get in the US. What really makes me laugh is, in the US everyone "knows" the virus started 3 years ago. It did not. It's been just over 2 years. And all we'll need is a nice shiny new variety and we can have a rollicking 3rd summer with lots of deaths.

  6044. The GOP isn't really a political party any more in the conventional sense of the word. A political party is subject to the vote, to constitutional laws, etc. The GOP has become a "party" in the sense that the Nazi Party was a "party" in 1933-1945. A dictatorial cabal of "insiders" not answering to the vote or the public in any way.

  6047. This is hardly dirty tricks, more like a sort of quickie history of fast food in the US in 42's inimitable style. Real dirty tricks are things like ... I could walk into a Carl's Jr. and buy one of their premier burgers, say a Western Bacon Cheeseburger, for $3.50 or so, but the "meal" featuring that burger was $8 or so. So, basically, buying the "meal" meant paying more than the burger cost, for cheap potatoes and sugar water. This is why fast food places have the ordering confusing and hurried, so you won't have time to think and will just point and grunt for the #1 or #2 or #3 meal. This is just one reason I don't go to fast food any more.

He comes from a Western European democracy and knows that having a social safety net makes sense.

Arnie hates Nazis.

Not in "The Antifa Manual" which you can order on Amazon, not anywhere. The red triangle is not an AntiFa symbol, it's a symbol exclusively used by Fascists who think they're going to replay WWII on the losing side.

  6066. Gat dangit! First, for the love of God learn to spell medicine Secondly, that thingie Alexander Graham Bell is standing in front of is one of his whacky tetrahedral kits. For some strange reason, he became infatuated with the idea of kites made of tetrahedral cells that could be put together into structures consisting of ... tons of tetrahedral cells. The idea being, I think, to make kites you could just launch and keep up there in the sky, and due to the sheer size of them, you'd have a fairly dependable sort of "sky hook" to, uh, I dunno. I wrote a paper about it in high school and I still don't know. It's kind of bitchin' he worked on hydrofoils though, I didn't know that.

I remember the ads for the Dootston school, "we'll teach you how to drive the big rigs" and I believe they were at least a few grand back then. Me, I save my outrage for the cost of barber college, it's more like $30k. Me, I'm learning a musical instrument because I can go out there and make money, well, teachers all charge like $100 a week these days so that's, call it $5k a year. Regular 4-year college where I grew up was only a grand a year back in the early 80s. Any trade these days is going to cost you to get into, it seems. For me the music angle's worked well because my overhead is so low, I can go out there and play a couple of hours and say I make $50 or $60, I can count it as pretty much all profit.

That's a good rule if it's food that's half-eaten and been in the fridge for a day or three, get 'em hot, get 'em super hot. He may not have done this, "Oh, it's a bit cold in the middle but it tastes good!" I've gotten in trouble this way more than once. Both times from restaurants. That "British" fish and chips place in my downtown thinks it's OK to serve the fish still cold in the middle - and I thought it was OK to eat it. It wasn't. And a steak place, I didn't heat my leftovers well enough and spent the next day being sick with food poisoning. Come to think of it, a friend of mine didn't heat leftover lobster tail well enough and he got food poisoning from that, too.

Jews, yeah OK I'm not a Jew .... and other groups I'm not a member OK fine, but the Freemasons? And this is what's coming if the USA goes (the rest of the way) into fascism. You might be OK with them targeting that group over there, and that other group, you never liked 'em that much anyway, and you might breathe a sigh of relief as you see your friends, neighbors, and co-workers of those groups hauled off to camps, but then you can be a member of the most innocuous group like the Freemasons or the Odd Fellows, and they'll come after you, too.

  6183. Norman Finkelstein is a hack who's making money off of being a "good" (anti-Jewish) Jew. I have his book "The Holocaust Industry" well, his thesis is that when Israel fought back against the wars that were against it around the times of its founding, this somehow spawned a "Holocaust Industry" that really pushed Israel and an indifferent (mostly American) public, because of this rah-rah Israeli propaganda, started supporting Israel. He is wrong. I know he is wrong because when Putin started his move toward Ukraine, I was uninformed enough to be known to utter stupid things like, "Who cares if Russia invades part of Russia?" But when I saw that Ukraine was ready to fight back, that little old Ukrainian ladies were making Molotov cocktails and saying the Russians should put sunflower seeds in their pockets, etc. then I woke up and started looking at the facts in the case. The atrocities practiced routinely by the Russians, essentially Dark Ages people, against the Ukrainians and the fighting back - effectively - by the Ukrainians made me very strongly side with them. I think a lot of people were indifferent about Ukraine until little Ukraine started fighting so bravely against the much larger Russian ogre. That's how these things work. It's basic human nature. If you're a small kid on the playground, you're gonna get tested. The best thing is to put up a real fight. Because if you do, even if you lose, your bullies won't want more black eyes etc you managed to give them. And further, the neutral kids will know you're tough and good in a fight and they'll want you as a friend. Am Israel Chai and today's PSA: From The River To The Sea, Israel Is Yehudi

  6186. I think I've got your odd accent figured out. You say certain words, like "vast" as most people would say "vost". "Half" is like most American would say if they read the word "hof". I'm not sure if that's a Pasadena thing? I was born in Pasadena but we left by the time I was 3, so I grew up speaking are more Orange County accent, heavily influenced by my father's Ivy League English. I find it fascinating that there might be a unique Pasadena accent. Also, when I was just turning 6, we moved to Hawaii which among other things, is a great place to become a Black Belt in code shifting by the time you graduate high school. So I am fluent in "Pidgin" and no not the lightweight stuff you hear now but the old time full strength stuff. You sense by instinct how much to dial it up or down, maybe kind of like a Jewish person in say the 1920s would know to speak proper English, 100% Yiddish, or maybe just drop in a few Yiddish words or ways of ordering words. I'm pretty sure knowing Hawaiian pidgin isn't going to help me a bit when I retire in Israel, except that glottal stops are child's play for me and I can pronounce resh properly.

The real thinking is super quick, and done in .... something ... some kind of super fast process, and then the language translator takes over and puts it into whatever language you speak. At least that's how my noggin works.

I've also had a moth fly in, that time was at night and I was pulling into a gas station, and the moth was soft and fluttered in my ear, and it made me laugh, so I was laughing as I pulled in and pulled my helmet off and the moth flew out, and there was another guy there, and it turned out I couldn't gas because I didn't have a credit card and it was card-only late at night, and because of the moth and the laughing, the guy bought me a fill-up which was good because I was running on fumes.

On a lot of roads where I am, crossing midway allows for making sure no cars are anywhere near you == TONS safer. This is why jaywalking is OK here in California.

They want child labor and child marriage back, very much. There is a really difference and "both sides now" isn't a good argument.

It's a combination of not needing much money to live, networking which is how I have the work I have now, and I've also been working for years on a somewhat difficult and esteemed skill, trumpet playing which may sound laughable but I've made some really good money doing it. If I didn't have my trumpet playing I think I'd probably be doing art, sell or give away, doesn't matter.

  6278. Just a side note, writing as I am in early 2024. A lot of Americans think they can get away from the craziness and possible Fascist takeover by simply moving to Canada. But Canada to the US is like Austria to Germany. That weird/crazy truck caravan thing the Canucks held is proof that there's a lot of Trumpism there and if the US falls to Fascism, the "Anschluss" of Canada would go about the same way: Surprisingly quickly, mostly peaceful, et voila, you might as well be in Ohio. Moving to Canada isn't going to cut it; you'll need to move much further away.

If it's one car and you depend on being paid, it's a big risk. But if you're renting out 100 cars, or 1000 cars, then you can count on some of the deadbeats paying and some cash flow. Then imagine packaging that set of mortgages (or car rentals) as stocks or certificates, and each time they got re-packaged, they somehow got upgraded from C stocks to grade A...

There are supposedly labs you can pay out of pocket for a test but they're all "temporarily" closed or need a referral from a doctor, which 90% of Americans can't afford. As I'll keep saying, the way the USA is doing it is, you get sick or not, you die or not, healthcare only for the rich. So masks it is! We can learn to do this. Norms used to be smoking, spitting into spittoons, taking a bath once a week if that, etc. We changed those norms. We can change this one.

These days, there are plenty of people who are making what used to be plutocrat money, 1/2 mil a year, 300k, 750k, etc. They can pay their fair share. Keep in mind the USA was flying high when the top bracket for income tax was 90%. Keep in mind that even Henry Ford, no progressive, felt the people who built his cars should be able to afford to buy one. You can't keep a modern society alive with all the money being pumped upwards and 90% of us getting poorer and poorer - poor people don't buy any more than they can avoid, middle-income people keep a modern economy going.

To have the language of another country everywhere, on your road signs and everything else ... And baseball, boy are they nuts over baseball. And pancakes, what's with the fascination with pancakes? But yeah take anywhere with tons of US military bases or one big one or whatever, and you get a sort of "US military base culture" and you can see that here with the drinking and the hostess bars and all that sort of thing. Hawaii's like that too - tons of pawn shops and E-Z financing places for military members, and back in the day a lot of making fun of and belittling Hawaiians, not so much now.

  6370. I have a theory that Pewtin (a) planned the Ukraine war based on an assumption that Trump would win by hook or crook. When that didn't happen, Pewtin had his hordes of orcs all revved up for a nice rapine and plunder party and it was set 'em loose or they're ravage Russia itself. And (b) right now Pewtin's plan is to hang in there, with the assumption that the Trumpists will take over in 2024. Keep in mind Trump and perhaps others in his organization owe the Russian mob a LOT of money and they want to get their money's worth. If the Trumpists take over in '24 things get .... interesting. The most patriotic thing one can do then is to revolt, secede, consider our beloved country under a hostile power and do everything possible to thwart that power. Keep in mind that power will want to rally to Putin's side and that means a grave danger to Europe. Trumpists really are Nazis 2.0 and they fully intend to turn not only the US into a white ethno-state but the world. It will be real-world Man In The High Castle shit.

That being said, there were two times in my life that Burger King Whoppers were a lifesaver. One was when in high school, I had a teacher really go all-out to get a scholarship for me (thank you, Veterans Of Foreign Wars) to go to a summer art class, and I was given a dollar for lunch. It was over an hour's bus ride each way and then the class was a couple of hours I think. Whoppers were a dollar. Much later, I was actually an Olympic hopeful in a sport and living in Colorado Springs, and at first I lived in a rented room and wasn't on the meal plan at the Olympic Training Center. Whoppers to the rescue again.

He was griping about how "The Mexicans" are doing better than "Americans" and how they get along in life so well and it's unfair etc. I shut him down saying that all "The Mexicans" are doing is living the way we did in the 1950s. Dad goes out and works. Mom stays home, raises the kids, manages the money and keeps a little garden. She hands Dad a $20 bill Friday night and he goes out and gets drunk ($20 used to cover a 12-pack of cheap beer and some chips besides from the market, said chips and beer are consumed in a parking lot, with other guys, who all sing bits of Mexican music together) and all that's changed is "we" don't live that way any more.

That lady at 1:22 saying she can hear both of them having a conversation, at one time years ago now I was on alcohol so bad I kind of stopped eating, and at one point I remember hearing a conversation outside. I looked around, thought maybe someone had left a radio on, but there was no radio ... what's funny is I couldn't make out most of what was being said, and what I could, was the most boring, humdrum stuff ever. it was a nice sounding young couple too.

The only nations that would let him in are pariah states like Russia and North Korea, and if they took him in they'd be smart to put him in a padded cell and keep him there because he'll just fuck things up in whatever country lets him in. So if the US is smart, we let him to go Russia to shorten the war with Ukraine or to N. Korea because they deserve him.

The only successful examples of socialism I can think of are the kibbutz farms in Israel in the country's early years, and the US military post-WWII. I was part of the latter in the early 80s and the US military had, and still has as far as I know, a hell of a social safety net and the kind of social mobility that I've never experienced in the capitalist world.

He came from country like that and after becoming famous, he tried to go back and help "his" people. There were many attempts on his life because he dared to set up a hospital and schools. The back-biting among the hillbillies was constant, they were continually fighting and occasionally killing each other over the smallest things. TL:DR: Bad people are bad.

  6457. My thoughts exactly. The only one to (think they might) benefit is Russia. In the same way that Hitler welcomed the Japanese starting a Pacific front, hoping it would weaken America's ability to fight, I think Russia egged Hamas to do this, with the idea that "Hey, the Americans are busy in Ukraine, now's your time". Somehow everyone in the Axis forgets that the US is perfectly able to win a 2-front world war - it's what all our plans are based on.

  6471. The trouble is, Trump and his followers' goal is a whites-only US. And Census takers are unofficial "racial hygiene" officers, in that they will look at you and they will decide what race you are. So say you're Italian or Portuguese, and consider yourself white, family's been in the US for generations, well, if the census officer decides you're "Mexican" now you're "Mexican" and your address has been tagged as the residence of "Mexicans" to be deported. How do I know this? I had a census officer come around when I lived in Orange County, California, and I'd been doing a lot of bicycle racing so I had a good tan. She decided I was Hispanic, although I'd written that I'm white on the form. I was accused of lying. Both sides of my family have been in the US for over a century. If Clinton hadn't been elected shortly afterward, I may have been deported to Mexico or some S. American country. And I'm a citizen!

Even in the areas of stamps and coins, there's more room for variance, and those are more niche interests.

Rich people will mostly not give you anything but a dirty look, but your fellow poor people will look out for you. Part of it is, hey, it's only 30c, it's easy enough to come across another 30c .... but the middle-class and higher classes are very scared, fearful people.

  6514. This reminds of me of the time I ran into a friend who was Japanese-American, and I'd just eaten but he insisted I come with him and his family to Matsu, a local sushi place. So we go, and the choices to start are miso soup or ... clam chowder??? And they all got clam chowder! I shows him how my miso had coalesced into that sort of "school" or cloud thing it does, and he just about turned green. So we ate away, having a good ol' time, and there was some sushi left with raw fish on it, and I was like, Anyone want this? And they were like, Oh, no, you go ahead so I ate it ... I think they mostly stuck to tempura. I'm mostly white, recently found out I'm part Tatar which is sort of half-assedly Asian, but grew up in Hawaii and an almost more Japanese than some of the Japanese-Americans around here. I will always be a big-nosed tengu but ... I have tried and I am just not American in culture.

They could easily turn the WH into another Beslan and I bring that up because in Russia they didn't have "Stumm Gas" so they used vaporized fentanyl and lost a lot of people but they put the terrorists down and that's what it takes.

Tons of Jews here, are originally from the Russian Empire. The hate for Russia/USSR/Muscovia is generations deep in the US.

  6518. The only problem is that complaining about big corporations is like complaining about "traffic". If you're out on the road, you are part of the traffic. Want to see a corporation go away? Stop paying it. Let's say a lot of people want Ford to go away. They stop buying Ford cars and encourage others to not buy Ford cars. If they can pull this off, poof, there went Ford. Corporations are nothing without their millions of customers and that's us.

  6536. At least the bad guys look like actual bad guys: wall street guys. However, your typical snubnose revolver holds 5 shots and is a close-in weapon. Those shots were unrealistically long range for the most part. You get in close, one shot to get the yuppie down, next one you stick the gun right up behind their ear and make sure they're a "good" yuppie. Practice your reloads. Save your brass. I like the idea of having along a water bottle or some innocuous container full of "white gas" AKA coleman fuel which is basically gasoline without the telltale odor, to pour on each guy and light, but it's obvious this was not planned and only the hero's first flirt with ridding the world of yuppies. Better technique next time!

  6547. Really orthodox white people, suburbanites, not only don't use spices but they really only like white foods. They love chicken breasts - they don't eat chicken thighs for instance because thighs have "dark" meat and dark meat makes you dark or some shit and that makes white Aryan Jesus cry. They like mashed potatoes, cauliflower, pancakes and waffles, you get the idea. A fancy dinner might be a slice of turkey breast (a bigger, whiter, chicken) and say some cauliflower and some Tater Tots because Tater Tots are a vegetable, right? Or macaroni salad, hell that's a vegetable, it's even called salad. British white people talk about the "beige buffet" which is the ideal of white people in the UK. Writer Paul Fussell wrote years and years ago that you could never go wrong with calling a food product "mild".

  6575. Winston I'm white (actually white/Tatar but no one knows what one of those is) and grew up in Hawaii where I was the Hated White Person AKA "Haole" and it was no fun. I worked very hard to leave and am now in California where I was actually born. I mean, I grew up in Hawaii, feel at least as "Hawaiian" as anyone who spent their years from age 5-25 there, and probably more "Hawaiian" than most of the population now, so many being mainland transplants, Filipino transplants, and umpteen Micronesians, but it doesn't matter, they have brown skin and I don't have the dark brown color it takes to be accepted. So I got out. So yeah, I know what it's like to have to leave where you grew up. I have two sisters living back in Hawaii but they married well and can afford the security measures it takes.

I remember the Vietnam War news on the TV each night. What I'm saying is there certainly was political turmoil that I saw, but nothing like the idiocy we have going on now. The Vietnam War protests were right and proper - kids didn't want to be sent off to die in an idiotic war that wasn't helping anyone. But these Nazis 2.0 want to being back .... Nazism!

  6583. That's funny about the Tyson chicken company ... I grew up in Hawaii and that's the only chicken we ate (that we cooked ourselves) was Tyson chicken. And that's absolutely true about how islanders migrate. I moved to the mainland in '86 because some friends in the company I worked for had transferred to a dept. of the company that's on the mainland so I knew I'd have some kind of a social network there. There was one apartment complex in Tustin, CA that was "the" first place to live because someone in the company always recommended it. So I can see how Marshallese would actually feel proud to work for Tyson, after eating their chicken all their lives, and to move to the mainland to do so, if there are already Marshallese people who went ahead.

  6585. There are "early" and "late" baby boomers. I'd say the division was, Were you considering going to Woodstock? Or was "Woodstock" this thing you saw ads for t-shirts for in the back of comic books and wondered what it was? This later cohort of boomers is called by some "Generation Jones". I'd say it's basically those boomers born after 1960. It makes a huge difference. For instance, the oldest of my siblings, born in 1957, can hardly sneeze without making money. The rest of us might as well have been generation X. The oldest went to a very prestigious private school, the rest of us went to public schools and only have of us could afford to stay in to get actual diplomas. The pre-1960 boomers pretty much live up to every boomer stereotype that ever has been come up with, the rest of us read "Generation X" by the cartoonist Ted Rall and thought, "Wow! That's me!". Or maybe Rall wrote "Revenge Of The Latch-Key Kids" I forget now. Rall certainly did say, "It was not cool to be a kid in the 70s" and it was true - you were last in line for everything including basics like clothes and food.

And properly, they are made dead whenever the opportunity presents itself.

  6589. Someone on Reddit pointed out that Sandy Hook was white kids in an affluent area and nothing was done. White nationalists are even trying to get the world to believe it never happened. Mass shootings are normalized in the US. What I'm waiting for is for us to develop a Balkans-type culture of revenge killings. Since the police won't protect kids, we'll hopefully see parents going in and protecting kids and hunting down and killing their killers and the killers' enablers.

Also, there was what we were calling "the coughing thing", my boss had it and coughed on me and I got it and was knocked out for a while, and at this same time there was news on the radio of a "vaping disease" because young people were dying of pneumonia so it must be due to vaping, isn't that what those crazy kids are doing nowadays? So there were definite signs of covid being around months before it officially existed.

  6601. With regard to diabetes, in the Asian markets I go to (I prefer 'em) there are tons and tons of high-carbohydrate snacks and instant foods. Endless variety of crisps and crackers and cookies and biscuits, tons and tons of sugar, starch, and a little flavor. And traditionally they could get by OK on a high starch diet because their servings were smaller, they were walking a lot more and more physically active, but even in Japan for instance, more people are of a healthy weight so you'd not suspect there's a lot of diabetes there, but there actually is. And my point here is that now, Asians are a lot more wealthy and can afford larger portions of food and to snack all day, and I expect obesity to become just as much a problem for Asians as for Americans.

  6603. Years ago I read the Thor Heyerdahl theories about why the Easter Island statues look like N. European "white" people but when you think about it, maybe they made them look like that because if you're standing in front, looking up at the face, it will look like a regular Polynesian face. And maybe it's easier to carve a bigger statue if you stretch the face out. And maybe they just looked cooler that way. Imagine their surprise when they get visited by people who actually look like that! (I now think Heyerdahl's theories are racist and not scientific at all.)

The web page doesn't work of course, so I'm supposed to get a phone call if I've got it and a letter if I don't (at the time of testing). There are some random pop-up testing sites serving hard-hit and underserved populations like Blacks and Latinos/as, and that might be a good resource for me because if I test positive I'll have to go into hard shutdown for 2 weeks then test again.

Nothing came in the mail. Nothing came in any way that's actually real. It was just someone on some internet discussion board (in fact I was on Reddit 'way back then for a short while so it was probably on there) and as far as I can tell Bitcoin is utterly imaginary.

And political types can decide any sort of science is "Jewish science" and ban it from sites like Wikipedia today. So proceed with caution.

Now, there are traditional cuisines that use tofu and saitan, and make them taste good. I actually like tofu. I have heard that tofurkey might actually taste kind of good, it's made from a relative of tofu called saitan, which is worth reading the Wikipedia on. But tofurkey's been around for decades so it's at least somewhat tried and true.

  6647. The key to understanding the US is, it's a hyper-individualistic society. There is nothing but contempt for the "weak". The young, children, are smaller and weaker therefore they get the worst food. The old, same. Anyone who's had any kind of misfortune, becomes sick or injured, now they're "weak" so they lose their house and everything. It's absolutely key to understanding everything about the US. Love for the strong, hate for the weak.

  6648. They don't even need to look at your phone to tell where you've been. Your phone, when you show it at a ticket thing, responds to a signal by the ticket terminal, that spits out a number. It's always the same number, that was assigned to you when you got the app. It's a slightly fancier version of what I do in my city's transit system here in the US. I carry around a card that when it's held against the terminal, the terminal puts out some RF energy and that wakes up a dumb little chip in there that knows how to do one thing - it transmits back its unique number. That's all the card has to do - all the heavy computing is done by the computers of the transit system. Thus, if they want to, they can tell where I've traveled but more importantly, they can track people and see who's taking longer trips and who's taking shorter ones, at what time of day, how long it took someone to get from say their home bus stop to their work and back, and so on. This helps them improve the system or at least allocate resources best.

  6679. The Nazis had likewise planned to deport all the Jews. Surprise surprise, with a war waiting in the wings, no one wanted 6 million immigrants. So the idea was the put them in work-camps which quickly changed to death camps. It was decided at the Wannsee conference. This time around, he's talking about 20 million, but it could easily swell to many millions more than that. Where are 20+ million people going to go? It will turn out to be "easier" to kill them, and they even have the plans for the ovens etc from their first time around.

Other categories that will get you shipped to a camp include: Being non-white, being a Democrat, donating to Democrat campaigns, being Republican but "not loyal enough", being LGBT (that last classification will get you to the camps first as the Republicans define LBGT people as "groomers" and being in public where children are anywhere at all as "grooming" and "grooming" is a death sentence so under a Republican gov't, being LGBT, simple existing, will be a death sentence.

The University Of California system is also very good, but also not "Ivies". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivy_League And of course it's based on sports, in the only country where you can get an elite college education by majoring in rowing or basketball or some damn thing, while a brilliant but un-sporty student has to go into extreme debt. ...

  6692. Librium is absolutely ace for getting off of alcohol. But unless you're wealthy you can't get it in the US, well, you can't get much of any medical care in the US actually. Anyway, done right, your doctor will prescribe you a huge dose of it, and you take that and taper it down to where you're at 1 pill a day and then when those run out you don't even notice. Wonderful stuff, but you have to taper it down and the secret of it being so wonderful is, it has a very long half-life in the body. The key to all of this is, the shorter the half-life in the body, the more "fun" and the more addictive. Librium has a nice long half-life so with a modicum of discipline, tapering off is really easy, and a walk in the park for the somewhat motivated, even if Amy Winehouse level, alcoholic. The other drugs, Xanax and so on, have a shorter half-life than alcohol and that's what makes them so dangerous.

They need to be made aware of how greater society sees them as a bunch of freeloaders. Worse than hippies!

  6707. I know one group basically buys properties. So say I'm working and in my 40s. I start investing with this group and end up the owner of a house in Jerusalem. But I don't move right in, I'm still working-age and want to set things up for my kids. So 20 or more years elapse before one or more of my kids decide to move to Israel and into the house. Meanwhile a Pal family's been living there rent-free for decades. The Pals are very secretive about selling their property because the other Pals are not happy about it. So they'll sell and keep it very quiet. So after 10-20-30 years or more, the actual owners come around. This is why in the US, I think, we have "adverse possession" laws. If you can move into a house and pay the taxes and bills for X amount of time, you become the owner. But I don't think Israel has laws like this nor should they.

Now we have Muskie using an aging and senile Dump to agree to co-run the US, then Dumpo will be shuffled off to the side and under an absolute dictatorship, Muskrat being foreign-born won't matter.

So yeah, $1200 is pretty high in the scheme of things. My old place is probably a lot more and I bet the hallway still has fleas. I actually bought a pump sprayer and some poison and did this stealth flea spraying job for everyone when no one was around to get rid of those little bastards.

  6812. Some of us never made much money. Plus, even worse, we fell for the college scam which means we took 4-5 years out of the work force except for the bottom-level jobs we worked as students and borrowed money too, with the result that we ended up poorer than we'd be if we never set foot on a college campus. It's even worse now, of course, college being an even bigger, much more expensive scam. But this is only the beginning of it. Americans are taught to never save money. We're indoctrinated to never think ahead and saving is not "cool". And another huge factor is, when your standard American thinks about a basic level of living, it involves a nice apartment at least, a car, eating out at least once a day, etc. The idea of not having a car and what's really a luxurious lifestyle horrifies them. But the biggest problem is, Americans are hyper-individualistic. Parents don't help kids, kids don't help parents, siblings don't help each other, etc. So retirees of modest means might team up to rent or buy a place but this is impossible for Americans.

  6814. I was riding my bike from the local cop store, bummed that they're now cop-only sales 'cos I used to buy stuff in there, and I skipped up onto the sidewalk to avoid someone in an SUV who I thought might be intent on killing me. The Karen in the SUV pulled into the driveway I was about to cross, blocking me, and proceeded to rant and foam at the mouth about "you people" riding on the sidewalk too fast yadda yadda .... my theory is, Karen sees person with a tan (been getting a lot of sun) riding a bike from the sidewalk in front of a rows of store and about to cross and go onto the street, let's fuck with 'em hoping they talk with some kind of accent, and can call in the cops and get 'em beat up or shot. Instead I talked to it (the Karen) using a purity of English she wishes her spawn spoke no doubt (thanks to my Ive League dad) and when it got to the point where I was explaining that myself on a 40-lb bike isn't nearly the threat that she, in her 4,000 lb death machine is, I realized this is not something that can be solved verbally, and started to get my Kimber Pepper Blaster out of my side pocket. Suddenly the Karen's heart grew three sizes or something but at least she backed up and got the fuck out of my way. (Turning around and going back the other way may or may not have worked. Karens like to chase people and run them down.) I called out her license plate number a few times, loudly, then took off. Fuck I hate Karens and if we're ever in a WROL situation...

Being able to letter well and do signs. Being able to mend and tailor clothes. There's all kinds of random stuff that pays well. If I were to start over from age 18 I'd have pursued a music education because the tech stuff I've learned hasn't gotten me any more than highschool dropout pay, but music can pay really well.

  6820. "My" Whole Foods is the one on "The Alameda" in San Jose California. The company is very proud of this one, there's a brewery on site with a nice upstairs dining area/beer garden, it's something like a 3-minute walk from the SAP Center where the San Jose Sharks hockey team plays, etc. So it's a big-deal store. Well the truth is, Amazon has made it so that without a smart phone you can't use your Amazon account, and Prime has gone up to $180 a year. I've stopped using Amazon completely, and I only shop at Whole Foods for the hot buffet and to use the loo, and buy a few vitamins. Pretty much everything they sell, I can get at the Walmart at the south end of town. And it's showing. Amazon kicking off flip phone users like me has to be hurting them because I was spending money with them constantly. These days the Whole Foods, this "flagship" store, has long lines at the checkout because they're hiring less checkers. There seems to be a high turnover of checkers these days too. Of workers in general. The store is less popular so there's this odd situation where the store isn't all that busy, yet people are waiting in lines 7-8 customers long to pay for their stuff.

And they, of course, would. These days at least half of the US seems to be convinced that the Nazis were good guys, and simply didn't do Nazism right. But they will. We have computers now and DNA tech and all that, and this time around, Nazism will be done right and it'll be great (as long as your white "Aryan" and just the right kind of white "Aryan" with exactly the right beliefs and are good at "office politics" yadda yadda).

  6832. If it's alcohol you're on, change to beer or wine from the hard stuff. Wine's typically 15% alcohol, hard stuff is 40% and if you mix it like gin + tonic, you're drinking a 20% mixture anyway so wine's not much further down. Then start diluting the wine, put ice cubes in it. Get down to where you're drinking less than 2 bottles of wine per 24 hours, then try a drink called kava, it will keep the shakes under control and you can get off of alcohol easily.

The Chinese need to learn about the old-fashioned life ring or "lifesaver" as were used on old-time ships, usually those had the ship's name on them, but it's a floaty ring with rope handles and a long rope.

Trying to rescue someone if you're not a strong swimmer can be a bad idea, but there are simple solutions.

  6899. Not sure if I'll start watching again as you seem to have gone through a phase of denying vaccines and established science. But covid is a fact and flu is a fact, and yes, the flu is back now that masks are passe' here in the US. So I went out and got my flu shot today. My "home" pharmacy is closing so I was not able to just traipse in and get my yearly flu shot, so I ended up going to ... Walmart. There's this "neighborhood" Wal's that's just the grocery store and pharmacy parts of a full Walmart and it all went pretty well. Granted, my old pharmacy was a CVS and they've got a reputation for being awful. But yeah life in the land of freedumb, you go to Walmart for everything.

And, some discussions I've seen about the ultra-Orthodox are that, why don't they find some way to work since noted Ultra-Orthodox figures of the past did in fact work or at least owned businesses that they had to work in and supervise? And, why dress like Polish nobles from 200 years ago, when that type of dress is really unsuited to the climate of Israel?

The Axis could have won by simply heading East and leaving Western Europe and England alone. Japan could have been dissuaded from attacking Pearl Harbor, and if all they'd wanted was the Philippines and places similarly close to Japan, plus what they could take of China, we'd not have gone to war over it.

  6913. OK maybe you have not personally seen WWII but some have, and to Jews, it was made abundantly clear that if they stayed in Europe they'd be wiped out. In fact, Jews are only safe now because they have Israel which is a country with an army and a navy and an air force, diplomatic ties, treaties, etc. If it were not for Israel, who's to know if the pogroms in Europe might not have continued? Even in the US, Jews were very much discriminated against. Israel is fighting an existential war here and no, they are not being as cruel as the Nazis, as the Arabs, etc.

  6918. I have a safety orange ball cap, it actually meets some ANSI standard, has reflective stripes. I wear it riding my bike, to keep the sun out of my eyes and be more visible. So I was wearing this hat and my bright yellow jacket, and as I pass these condos I hear "TRUMP!" except the guy caught himself and it came out like "TRUMp!" and I think the guy just saw, he'd have been looking into the sun, what he thought was a red cap. As soon as I got home I put the orange cap away, and I'm wearing my yellow one now.

  6926. I love you mentioning what I've observed, that you get people who get good at one very narrow thing and then they think they have The World Solved(tm). Since I've been selling on Ebay since 1997, here's my short TED talk on "How Ebay Geniuses Are Idiots" - First, some background. Ebay, with PayPal, used to have a different business model. They'd just randomly take a few people who had some assets to the cleaners. Clean. Them. Out. That episode on The Sopranos where they clean out the sporting goods store? Like that. PayPal would freeze all their money and take it. Take their house, take their 401k, just take it all. It's really hard to fight back when you're living in a drainage pipe because you've lost everydamnthing. But I think Ebay/PayPal realized that sooner or later someone was gonna Oklahoma City their ass, so they wised up and now, this is how it works: Joe Boomer is bumbling along through life and their beloved Aunt Granny out in the Midwest dies. Pops her clogs. Shuffles off to the Great Beyond. Etc. And leaves a house stuffed with, well, stuff that's not been touched since Eisenhower was in office. "Whatever will I do with all this shit," asks Joe Boomer, "And how can I make some money on it?". They start selling the crap on Ebay. This works very well, because well, the stuff's not been looked at by anyone for decades on end and during that time, a lot of it has become "antique" and "vintage" and worth a fair amount. Joe Boomer is raking it in. Lifestyle creep has done its thing and Aunt Granny's crap is petering out, but that's OK because by now Joe Boomer has convinced himself that he's an Ebay Genius(tm) so all he has to do is hit all the garage sales and thrift stores for more stuff like the original stuff he's been selling so much of. Except, while as far as he can tell it's the same kind of stuff, it's not. Joe B. has NO skill as a "picker" and the real pickers have, well, picked all the good stuff off well before he comes along. So now our Joseph Boomer, Esq. has a problem. He's spent a bunch of money on stuff that's not selling, and it's not selling. EnterrrrrRRRRRRRRRRrrrrr.... Ebay Credit! Yes, you too can get an Ebay credit line/card and borrow at 39% or whatever the hellish rate is lately, to try to get your shine as an Ebay Genius(tm) back. Narrator's voice Mr. Boomer never did, and ended up living in a drainage pipe....

  6943. I think if I ate something that affected me that quickly, that badly, I'd ralph and ralph and ralph some more. Downing a lot of salt water would help wash out my stomach. This is why college students should learn "survival cooking" for instance, eggs are an amazing bargain for cheap protein. Keep flour around and you can always make crepes. Peanut butter is getting expensive but it's still good to have around. You want to have spices around, which you can get cheaply in ethnic markets. Beans are good, dry or canned or both. Just keep a lot of staple foods around and learn some cooking skills. For instance, scrambling eggs and heating up canned chili and putting that on top makes a good meal. If you have things around and some cooking skills, you won't be tempted to eat your room mate's dodgy leftovers.

Sort of a combination of Leninism and Confucianism? It sounds like something strict but workable.

  6951. And it turns out it's really fucking easy to make a damn pizza from scratch. The main thing is the dough; you gotta get the dough right, but that's easy you just have to learn to work it to get that chewy texture. There's a place called California Pizza Kitchen out where I am (California, SF Bay Area) and it's a little bit obscene how the guys massage and caress that dough, but it's a matter of working it so the gluten strands link up. Once you learn to make a decent crust, you just throw shit on there bake it and you're golden. Look at the pizzas they make in Italy, they'll have mussels and some shit on there. Minimalist, but I bet the dough is perfect.

  6953. "Get in the swing with oxycontin" sounds pretty close to "Get back in the swing with Haley's M-O" which was the slogan for a laxative sold in the US since the 1930s so subconsciously it would sound familiar. I actually looked up old Haley's M-O and it turns out to be magnesium hydroxide and mineral oil. In short, disgusting. And all that time growing up I was under the impression that it might taste really good, like chocolate or something, but of course never tried it.

  6960. There's a sizable number of people who desperately want a Hitler type of ruler who's gonna make the country Pure White(tm) and they think they'll get to take over POC peoples' houses and businesses and get a slave butler and slave workers - pretty much what made Nazism appealing to some in 1933-45 in Germany. None of them look into how it ended, with Germany in a shambles, parts of it looking like a moonscape, a large portion of Germans dead, and Germany invaded by the Russians. If Donny Dumps-In-Diaper wins, we're probably going to have general strikes, and tip into civil war. The Chinese will move in and they'll probably be welcomed by most of us. Or, you know, we can vote for Harris and normality.

This is why calling Trump supporters Nazis doesn't work they're fine with being Nazis, they just believe in some sort of modern, tech-enabled Nazism that will be the true Nazism.

I figured I'd get by on liquids only, like ensure and such things, and went to a trade show I'd scheduled far in advance so I kinda had to go. I saved on food because I didn't want any. The the last day of the trade show, some people at a booth near me had some of that super-processed beef jerky they were selling for 25c a stick or something. I bought some, figuring I'd chew on it and savor the juice anyway, and then swallowed some, planning out which trash can to ralph into in advance. Instead, it went down and stayed down fine, and I was back for more. They kind of laughed about how much beef jerky I was buying but it sure brought me back to normal.

  7011. You guys need to emphasize that Trump's health is failing rapidly. That a Republican vote is a vote for a Vance presidency. It's important to do this because Vance is even worse than Trump. There are tons of Republicans who'd vote for Trump thinking he'll live forever or something, but would be turned off of voting Republican if they realized Vance will be the actual winner if the Republicans win. Vance does not have charisma, and he's a friggin' loon. You guys could make some killer ads based on this. "Republicans: Do you really want Vance for president?" I can hear the narrator's voice now.

I don't think the Russians really have a "system" I think they're delayed in development so much that we're essentially dealing with Dark Ages people, gangsters who are really more like feudal lords than anything modern. In dealing with Russia you're dealing with gangsters, a disorganized rabble, not something like NATO or the US, French, etc military.

People, any and all people, will find ways to cheat the system and eventually there have to be regulations.

  7033. US farmers speculated on land like crazy, thinking the world would keep buying wheat at the rate it did during and shortly after WWI. Surprise surprise, the world's appetite for wheat went down after WWI as countries got on their own two feet again and the US (maybe other places too) found itself overproducing wheat and other commodities like this. This aligns with my theory about the dot-com crash in the US. It was assumed that buying tech gear would go up forever. And it did, until it didn't. Afterward, I don't think much of anyone bought any new tech hardware until about 2005 and that lasted only 2-3 years until the 2008 crash but that's another story.

There's a "Japantown" here and a bigger one up in San Francisco, and I'm also old enough that I can join the community organization for older adults (55+) that's Japanese-American oriented but all are welcome. They have language and shodo lessons really cheap. I really doubt any of it will stick, but I might just have a swing at learning Japanese, because completely randomly out of the blue, I've decided to convert to Shin Buddhism and have joined the local temple, and in playing a shakuhachi.

  7051.  @eliman320  I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area and there's an Irish community here. My impression is that Ireland wants immigration, and there are various setups for those of Irish descent here in the US to return to Ireland. I'm sure there's a similar setup for Scotland. There are a lot of countries that want immigrants who will fit in with their culture, basically Eastern Europe, Scotland, Ireland, etc. I know a guy on here who got Serbian citizenship, and he got it by being more Serbian than most Serbs. He learned the language, bitches about the US bombing in the 1990s, etc. The point is, you can do it. You can pretty much go to any country and assuming you learn the language and culture and fit in, you can become a citizen.

  7084. Cars are huge money-eaters! It's possible to go cheap but you have to be a good shadetree mechanic. I think with $50k car prices we're going to see 10-year car loans. That makes, principal alone, $5k/year, makes about $400/month (very rough math here) just for the principal. Then there's the interest and if houses are at 7% I don't see cars being less. Plus a car bought on time means it needs to be fully insured, so insurance will be high. And you're also obligated to go to "the stealer" for the periodic oil changes etc. Let me go out here the way I cam in, Cars are huge money-eaters!

I'm even more proud that I have no kids, and the name of the game for me is to participate in the system as little as I reasonably can. I'll still pay my taxes - they're tiny - and work, and not shoplift, and even buy clothes (although I find an awful lot around the college that students toss out lol) because I won't want to be street homeless and I'm not a teenage edgelord, but the system isn't getting any more than the minimum out of me.

And this is an island 1000s of miles away from any possible enemy. I'd expect Israel to be even more militarized and watchful.

They can't get away with it right now but a political coup is planned for the year 2024 and then I expect every little town in the US to become this schtetl.

  7149. San Jose, California. Traffic back up to maybe 75% of before-covid amount. Lots of anger out there so as a cyclist I have to be extra careful. People are still being good about wearing masks etc. at least at the places I go. There's still no testing unless you're wealthy or a politician or a famous athlete or something so who knows if I've had it, got it, or not. In a 3rd world country like the US is for most of its subjects, you have to take a sort of fatalistic attitude and do your best.

In a mere 12 years that his "1000 year reich" lasted, Hitler left millions of Germans dead, Germany divided up between the Allies, half of Germany within the sphere of the Soviets, and Germany viewed with a very critical eye, even now.

  7178. I like her videos. I've lived rural both when growing up and later after losing everything in the '08 crash. It's .... rustic. The last time I lived rural, I lived in an old RV the land owner had gotten somewhere that was a few degrees off-level. I had to re-roof it with scrap corrugated galvanized steel roofing pieces I found around the place, and had to dig a "French drain" for toiletry reasons. I could shoot my pellet gun or .22 from my chair in my place because I set up a little range. We kept chickens and sheep, and I had a pretty decent chicken coop built. I'd go out and gather things, worked in the garden, and only had cash-paying work for half the year and that was over 20 miles away. I made a deck of pallets I surfaced over with more wood, and set up a hot shower by taking a dark green hose and putting it where the sun warmed it, and could strip buck-ass naked and bathe on my deck, during the day when the sun was out. Frankly, it was great. So you see squalor but I just see the rurals being rural.

For extra credit, looks up the proto-Nazi movements in Germany like the Wandervogel movement and their obsessions with food purity. Keep in mind they were kind of mixed up between biology and genetics and things like that so some of them genuinely thought if you ate the wrong stuff you might end up "less white". If you had sex with a nonwhite person then even if you went on to marry a white person, your kids would come out partially non-white...

Right now the Arabs are crying Woe is me, yet if Israel lets up on them for a hot minute, they sent over every rocket they can. No rational person could have any sympathy at all.

  7198. In the US many years ago, in the US Southwest, there were some people who invented a Native American tribe. Just invented them out of thin air. And they, for a while, got official recognition by the US government etc. Kind of hilarious. "Palestinians" are the same thing. Invented by the USSR in the mid-1960s. They are fictitious. They are Arabs, mostly Jordanians. In closing: From the river to the sea, Israel is Yehudi

  7201. The woods are full of scumbags like this. I'm in California and it's open knowledge. Scumbags aren't exactly working normal jobs, no, they rob, steal, kill, make/sell drugs to make their living. Plus they generally have drug habits that are expensive. This is very typical scumbag behavior - hell there was even a situation like this in the movie "The Book Of Eli" this is really really common.

This move makes sense as pot is less harmful than alcohol - it makes people slow and stupid and I'd rather they didn't use it until their old age as it's used in traditional societies, but it's a lot less harmful than alcohol which is normalized in our society.

  7210. I'm in the US and never heard about this. Scary that New Zealand also had an attempted Nazi coup. If they'd succeeded .... Jews rounded up into camps, Maoris exterminated right off I guess .... and as for women's rights, well, just look at the US South, forced marriages at age 12, no abortion for any reason not even rape or incest, drastic punishment if you leave your area seeking medical care, etc. Things like prison and the medical system made for-profit like the US too. Scary.

  7212. Silicon Valley here. People are pretty good about wearing masks. Testing still pretty much for the wealthy and well-connected, but I may have a line on getting tested through a group that's set up on the east side of San Jose, where the poor people live, that's something like "Roots Healthcare" or something, set up originally to serve the black community but of course they'll help anyone. Masks are starting to show up for sale, which is good, too. I've been wearing just the one cloth mask I have since this thing started. We've got a curfew from 8:30 at night until something like 6 in the morning, of course essential workers excepted, and that may be helpful. The curfew's because of the riots not the virus.

  7213. I'm going to say that place is held by the founder of Christianity. Not Jesus, if he existed, but I believe it was St. Paul who founded the actual cult later. Evil doomsday cult that thrives on death, violence, genocide, etc.

  7214. Seriously?? you went there for those?? I guess now I know they're good! My local 99 Ranch has them and now I'll have to try some. Also, that bus station looks fascinating. Where I grew up (Hawaii) there's a big shopping center, "Ala Moana Center" and back in the 70s and 80s when the economy was slow, it was possible to walk around the back side, through service tunnels etc. and it was kind of like that bus station. It was pretty damn cool, like that bus station is.

  7220. Keep in mind you didn't have to be a Jew or disabled or a political opponent for the Nazis to kill you, if you didn't look "Aryan" enough you were in for a very hard time. When my parents married my mom was careful to stay out of the sun but when we kids came along we couldn't be kept indoors and were running all over town and we tan - more so than is acceptable within "Aryan" standards. As I look back in this I'm thinking it's why my family moved to Hawaii when I was still very little. We weren't white enough for California, now imagine not being white enough for a regime like the Nazis.

  7242. Sigh. In the old days in the US Army, from 1960 or so until MRE's came in, the C-ration was king. And among its many delights were disks of chocolate, with little bits of crunchy nougat in. They were actually pretty good, and known as "John Wayne Bars" for some reason, as they were not bars, but disks. And the rest of the story is, the chocolate was the very exact same as the chocolate in original Kit-Kats. So when you bite into an original Kit-Kat, you are literally tasting the US military-industrial complex.

Modern-day hobos still exist, most get around like those RV people who work the beet harvest etc., but some still hitch hike and ride the rails, and work in fish factories up in Alaska, the beet harvest, etc. They travel and work. Some travel but avoid work, the hand-outs are often a lot better if you're traveling and people know you're traveling. Then there are the bums, often called the "home guard" or "homebums" they're the ones you see, not working, year after year.

  7255.  Tucson Jim  Actually, it turns out older people, when the 1918 flu came around, had some immunity because when they were little they'd been exposed to the horse flu epidemic of 1873. Look it up, the US Cavelry and Apaches were fighting each other on foot and in cities young men were hired to pull horse-drawn things like streetcars and fire engines because the 1873 horse flu really killed or sickened a lot of horses.

If the average Joe Sixpack out there is carrying debt at 39% if might explain the pessimism right now.

  7280. I can say, "Just don't get in trouble with the law" and feel all smug but this is speaking as a white person on the mainland US. I grew up in Hawaii and over there, if you are white you will get tickets. I and friends have gotten tickets for: Jaywalking (only one ticketed out of a crowd of non-white people), riding a motorcycle, driving a car, being at the beach, etc. I've been interrogated by a cop for ... walking down the road. How dare I, walk down the street while being white, just like that? So yeah, being black on the Mainland is like being white where I am. You can do everything right and you're still going to get tickets. Not to mention what I call "being questioned". There's this skepticism about your very existence. If you go to the DMV to apply for a driver's license, there's this attitude of, "Why would you want/need/be allowed to get a license?" At the post office, why would you want/need/be allowed to buy a postal money order? Things are slowed down; paperwork is lost. In stores it's assumed you're probably stealing, or intend to steal if you can get away with it. I've only recently realized that in stores here on the Mainland I am showing my receipt where it's easily visible when I walk out. In Whole Foods when I go to the buffet and carry my food to eat on the balcony, I've got that receipt showing like a flag. Hell, on the Mainland, I don't need to do that. I probably could do a walk-out here and pull it off, being white here is like being Japanese back home. You're not questioned. So I know this kind of extra burden that POC have here on the Mainland. And those of us who are the unquestioned, can't just sit back and say "Oh well, when I got a ticket I just went to traffic school". POC are often not getting just one ticket per decade the way we do, they're getting a burden of tickets you can't just fork over a few hundred for a day listening to cop + donut jokes in traffic school to make go away.

  7299. My boss, than then I, had a weird "coughing thing" that went around before covid made the news. It was at the same time there was a "vaping disease" killing people with pneumonia symptoms, and which was blamed on those evil vapes. Since that, the only sick I've been was a bit after my 2nd covid jab, and then really felt like hell after my covid booster. Then I felt a bit sniffly, scratchy throat, tired, a week or so ago and now I'm fine. It's very difficult to get tested in the US so all I can do is mask, distance, and go get a jab when they say to on the radio.

She was the youngest and smallest. In the US there is no sympathy for the weak, it's just not in our culture at all. When our economy crashed in 2008 I thought Uh-oh, here come the 1970s again. But I realized, I'm a middle-aged adult now. I'm bigger, stronger, have all my old foraging skills, plus am a good deal more bitter and ruthless. I'll be all right.

There was a "Speedball Handbook" of lettering fonts, that sign painters and such types would study to learn different fonts.

  7321. I grew up in Hawaii. It's a great place if you have money and lots of it. If you're poor/working-class, and white, you're in for a hard time. From being hassled by cops for ... existing ... lower grades for the same work in high school and college as non-whites, buses not stopping for you when you wait at the bus stop, and of course the random instances where quick thinking saves your life (easy to get "disappeared" into a cane field and no one will look for you). Your race determines everything. Where you can live, what kind of job you can work, what pay you'll get, etc. There's some of this on the mainland US but it's really strong in Hawaii. I worked very hard to get out of there. The US mainland isn't perfect, but I was immediately astounded and in the most pleasant way that I could just ... be ... and not be in danger for my appearance. I could go to the beach and hang out. I could go into any store, I could walk down the street... So I very much feel that white South Africans should be given the most favorable status if they want to immigrate to the US. The US isn't perfect but it sounds far, far better than S. Africa.

  7323. Anyone who's read The Rise And Fall Of The Third Reich by William L. Shirer, great book, will remember that the worse the German economy was, the better for the Nazis. Donnie is following the Hitler playbook VERY closely. He wants the economy to be bad because he feels it will be good for him. He should probably consult actual American history rather than Germany history, and note that when the US economy really tanked, the Great Depression of the 1930s, Herbert Hoover, a Republican, was thrown out on his ass in favor of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, a Democrat who stayed wildly popular for a few more terms.

  7325. Prepare to not be understood, because American "Christianity" isn't like Christianity in normal countries at all.

He's essentially an appendage of the Russian mob now, and in a normal world, would be rotting in a cell in Guantanamo.

It all reminds me of a small political party in Germany, a working-man's party, that wanted basic things, a sort of blend of nationalism and socialism, heavier on the socialism, founded and run by 20 or so guys who just wanted things to be a bit better for the working class. This party got taken over by a blowhard who eventually demanded all members of it swear a personal oath to him, and started WWII.

We used to have a jazz club, a cute little Safeway, a movie theater, a McDonald's, and a whole lot of other stuff downtown and that's all gone. We used to have street musicians, both regulars who were out there most nights, and a lot of them passing through. That's all gone. We used to have conventions of everything from real estate hacks to furries. All gone. More and more places are going out of business all the time. It's funny, too, in that I took the train from San Jose to Mountain View yesterday and there were very few people on it, and I got to see the light rail trains coming and going (they share a station at Mountain View) and there was NOBODY on them. And this was a Saturday night with a Sharks hockey game on which usually means busy trains. I think tons of people are just staying home and doing stuff, and tons are ordering food in that's being prepared in "ghost kitchens" in fact there's one just up the street from me.

It's one thing if they're taking garbage, but they're zeroing in on things that are essential to get medical care or food stamps or veterans' benefits. Lots of veterans out there.

They're voting for a New Reich with Lebensraum and tons of Aryan babies. All that's saved us so far is people of all colors and ethnicities getting out and voting. We can't count on women voting us out of disaster if white women are over-represented.

  7400. Japan has these ultra-nationalists who want all non-Japanese out of Japan and so on. They'll go around with black vans with loudspeakers blaring ultra-right-wing stuff. Most people just laugh at them, of course. I was reading on Reddit or somewhere how this one (white American) guy was in Japan and went to a jiu-jitsu school and his teacher taught them all the ultra-nationalist songs so when the van would come around blaring the songs, there would be all these non-Japanese singing right along, which would sort of take their power away.

The lack of "contrails" from ships has caused the oceans to warm.

  7421. My theory about the timing of Putin's invasion of Ukraine is, that he was certain Trump was going to attain power in 2020. Whether by election or insurrection, that didn't matter. it was that his asset, Dirty Diaper Don, was going to end up in power, bought and paid for. This didn't happen, but by then for a months or a year or more, Putin had been motivating Russians to be all gung-ho for it, with lavish promises of plunder and rapine and plenty of Ukrainian child slaves. So that, when Dumpo didn't attain power, Putin kind of had to go ahead because he doesn't have an army in the modern sense, he has a mob. And if he didn't point that mob West, it could have turned on him. In fact one of the sub-gangs in the mob started to, with the cheering-on of the Russian peasantry as it headed toward Moscow.

Naturally living humans don't feel driven like this, and social norms are what keep them working enough to feed their families and friends if needed. In normal natural societies, there's not selling and trading so much as mutual gifting. It works pretty well.

So we have a choice: Harris or donOLD. Well, donOLD consistently picks the worst ways to do things, and would, somehow, come up with a unique way to fuck things up in the Middle East that can't even be imagined. Probably end up with whole area glowing. Harris represents a step back from the cliff, a return to normalcy and stability and democracy. She will be the better of the two for Israel because she'll be the better of the two for humanity. So shut up about not voting for her. Geez, can you just retire already?

There also might be a clause in the lease agreement that you stay open during the same hours the rest of the mall or street does, because your being open and functional affects other businesses. This is all simple and nothing Orwellian about it.

  7444. Alcoholics sweat a lot when they're in withdrawal. A really alcohol-dependent person has to drink every few hours or they get sweaty and shaky. They also turn red lol. Ask me how I know! Anyway, there are other drugs that act a lot like alcohol, creating the same sort of withdrawal symptoms. Generally they are in the benzodiazapine family. Non-drinkers will take these drugs, thinking it's OK because they're not alcohol. It's ... not OK unless the drug is taken very short-term, and frankly if you've been alcohol-dependent I'd not touch "benzos" at all. Cadet Bone Spurs probably isn't intelligent or self-aware enough to know this, nor disciplined enough to stay away from those sweet, sweet benzos once he's hooked on them. It would make him very easy to control, too - maybe Newt Gingrich is only letting Dumpo have his calm-candy if he says the right things?

Either a place that homeless people can sit back, take a breath, take some online classes and get some qualifications or maybe wait out those few years between used-up in their mid-50s to eligible to retire, say mid-60s. Or, for the most diehard homeless, a place to watch trashy TV, eat junk food, smoke dope, and give each other poke-and-stick tattoos and at least they won't be crapping up the streets us workers have to live in.

This is how capitalism works. There are lots of easy to understand materials on the nuts and bolts of capitalism and basically how it works is to pump wealth to those who are already wealthy, and to make a certain percentage of people poor and desperate.

Of course they had to choose a Republican family who was willing to sacrifice their "oddball loner" son as a fall guy, as a Democrat or just plain patriot might have not missed. And Donnie jumping right up and pumping his fist? Super big red flag. I've been around, and been myself, people who have narrowly escaped death. No one comes up with grand gestures or saucy quips right out of Marvel Comics. No one. Donnie could jump up and do this because he knew the script and knew he was in no danger.

So I, sitting here in a Blue state, am sending $50 of my $400 weekly pay check to the Harris campaign. I consider it worth it, it's not for very many more weeks, and I see it as the same as being in WWII and buying War Bonds. We're in a WWII-level possible nation-ending event here.

  7480. Just "Beef" or "Fish" are really wide categories. What kind of fish? Some are really low in fat and some are rich in it, even in a lot of cases, from the same fish. The belly and the liver are also "fish" but in the Western diet those are considered bad because they're not low-fat enough to be acceptable. Tilapia, that darling of modern low-cost low-fat eating, is, well, low in fat. Mackerel, which real devotees of the "Western" diet won't touch, is high in healthy oil and fat. The same applies for "Beef". Under the "Western" diet, only the leanest cuts are acceptable, where if you go to an Asian market, the higher grades are the fattiest ones. But go to a high-end market in a bougie area in the US and the more expensive cuts of beef, the "better" ones, are very low in fat. This is how you get such widely varying numbers for "Fish" and "Beef".

Keep yourself healthy as long as you can. All the usual good advice applies, maintain a healthy weight, don't smoke, drink little or not at all. I myself have started going to religious services and it's great. I'm getting a new circle of friends, we meet up and sing and stuff, and it's great. Food afterward. Is the food good? No, it's pretty meh. But being there with the people is the thing. I ride there on my bike. The songs have been around forever. It's the most fun thing I've done in years and it doesn't involve very much expense at all. You don't need a bigger car or a bigger house, you need a bigger "extended family" of friends.

People, lots of people, enjoyed entire, well-paid careers studying the USSR and predicting what it would do next and it caught 'em all with their pants down. More recently, the Russia - Ukraine war. "Everyone" forecast that Ukraine would fall in weeks and the majority of the population would greet the Russians as liberators, strewing rose petals in their path. Instead we have them fighting back like hell, we're all learning a bit of Ukrainian history, and the Russians are making the Nazis seem comparatively decent. The experts have no idea what's going on. They think they do, and we think they do, but they don't.

Their Disability, Social Security, etc. will pay for it all, provide free junk food so the big corp's will be on board, and with a doctor somewhere in the loop, FREE DRUGS. They get, for free, their drug of choice or alcohol, or hell, cigarettes, whatever it is that they were out on the street stealing and begging for. They can live in a humane habitat with a bed and a toilet to crap in instead of on the sidewalk, regular showers, etc. Hell they can even take vocational classes, get their GED, etc. But mainly, you are providing what they were out there begging and stealing for, basic food and their drug of choice. They'll be happier, they'll be off the street, and all the ills caused by having the underclass live on the streets will be greatly lessened.

In the wonderful capitalist USA, for 90% of the population, the military is about the only chance you get to maybe, just maybe, get some technical training, medical care, go to college (slim chance) etc. the military is the nicest life you will have.

  7556.  @sabagisara  What a lot of people don't understand is, something like 99% of these houses Arabs were "kicked out of" were owned by absentee landlords, who sold the properties to Jews (and happily would have sold them to anyone) and the Jews who bought the properties then came to move in. It's simple landlord/owner/tenant law. Nothing more. Arabs are incapable of working together so you don't have, for instance, the Saudi Royal Family funding poor Arabs to buy their landlords out and own the houses they live in. But Jews will save up, over generations if need be, and will work together, to buy these places.

  7566. I feel lucky that I can work and live my life without having a car. Cars are HUGE money pits. When I went to work for my friend who I happily work for, and it's coming onto 10 years now, he said my pay should gradually go to to being considerable, like $30k a year. But it became apparent I'd never see money like that again, those times are gone and they're not coming back. But on $17k a year I can pay my taxes and save money so I'm pretty happy. There are a hell of a lot of people here in "Silicon Valley" who make less than I do, and even before covid I learned to not talk about having work because whoever I was talking to would get this look of desperation in their eyes and ask if "they" were hiring. They'd always look so despondent when I'd say it was just one guy with one employee, and no budget to hire anyone else. And also maybe some resentment like maybe I was holding out on them. But such is life here. For all the tech companies, the biggest employers are places like Safeway, Kaiser Permanente, the electric co., things like that. Tech jobs except for a very, very few pay less than being a dishwasher or table-busser in a restaurant, and a much more dependable way to make "good" money is to drive a truck (I don't have the eyesight for that) or get into some union job like pipefitter.

  7567. Face it, capitalism is a lot of fun. We evolved competing with Nature and with each other. But as the game Monopoly teaches, you end up with all the wealth held by a tiny minority and that is most emphatically Not Fun. Not even for the folks at the top. So you need to have feedback loops to funnel money back down to the bottom to keep people playing. Economy as sport is a good way to think about it. Baseball and football etc have rules. You can't just go out there with a crowbar and clobber the guy on the other team. There are rules to keep the game safe and enjoyable.

It's been fetishized, everything is "Hawaiian" this and "Hawaiian" that, while the people working in the commercial luau's, the hotels, etc are all Asian not too many Hawaiians. There's a strong "colorism" where a totally non-Hawaiian like Andy Bumatai, Filipino/German, can move right there and be instantly welcomed, while if you're white or white-appearing you're the hated "haole" no matter how many generations your family has been there. The whole place is a mess, really.

  7592. Western, and especially American, culture is one of extreme individualism and atomization. You're supposed to do it all on your own, no help from anyone and not even from your own family. When Americans see people who come from intact cultures, with their traditions of mutual aid, family helping family, large webs of social connections, they hate and fear this because if you come from an intact culture, you will probably never be hungry or homeless or unable to access education you need to succeed in life. Hence the hate for Asians and Hispanics and so on. But the "worst" are the Jews because they are the most famous for networking and for hanging onto their culture for 1000s of years. This is hated and feared.

  7595. I just thought of this: If chimps are really nice and jolly and mis-understood, then how come, in the areas where they're native, you don't see chimps being kept as pets by the local people there? People in Africa certainly keep dogs, and in fact dogs seem to be kept by humans pretty universally. And a lot of cultures keep birds and so on. This is speaking of animals kept as pets and helpers, not to be eaten but as companions and friends. Who wouldn't want a pet chimp or baboon? If you asked 10-year-old me, I'd have loved the idea of having a pet baboon. They look cool. But I think there's a damn reason why humans, who frankly have tried keeping a wide range of animals as pets, have never, anywhere in the world, made it work with other primates. The reason? Primates are generally mean, calculating, and nasty there's no other way to put it. A dog just wants to be your buddy and help out the "pack", whoever the "pack" is. Even elephants are pretty good at getting along in human society, at well enough that they're somewhat socialized with people in India. But chimps and other primates, they're traditionally known by people as being huge pains in the ass if not actually dangerous, and kept far away.

Most licorice in the US is artificially flavored, but I got a bag of Paul Newman's Own Organic yadda yadda licorice at Whole Foods.... well it's actual licorice root flavored. And I can easily settle down with a book and finish off a bag of licorice. And it turns out that actual licorice, when consumed to excess, will give you the worst fucking headache ever. I looked it up and it's a side effect. Nutmeg has a long standing reputation for making you high, or hallucinate, or something, with the kind of kids who can't get ahold of other things and do stupid things. It was even on the Beavis & Butthead show. And remember a while back when kids were snorting cinnamon powder?

Would I still get odd looks if I visited Buddhist shrines in Japan (where the sect of Buddhism I follow started)? Yeah, I would because I'm a big-nose gaijin.

Actually, Obama, our last competent president, was doing something like this, much milder, with Cuba and it was the sure way to help the Cubans and depose the Castro regime but then of course less competent heads have prevailed. I'm pro-Castro but this is the truth. The US has been propping up the regime in Cuba by isolating them the way we have.

I found my favorites being sold in a Vietnamese sandwich place, and have a few now to wash and wear a freshly washed one each day. Also "social distancing" (I'd prefer the term Hygienic Distancing) and just, you know, follow good practices.

  7636. Testing ... in the US you need to be wealthy or a celebrity to be tested so forget about it for us regular proles. But, a temperature, dry cough, breathing difficulty, and as the good Dr. mentions maybe a loss of sense of smell, and you probably have it. Stay home and take care of yourself. If you feel you're in danger of dying, then go to the hospital - so far they can't come after your family for the million dollars of debt the hospital visit will cost you, so you need to decide because they will take your house etc and if you wanted to leave that to your family, it may be better to die. Remember people, no war but class war, we're all in this together comrades.

  7641.  @imaginedmountains2311  We'd rather have Bernie Sanders or my personal favorite, Gavin Newsom, or as they said when the Dump was polluting the White House with his smelly self, "Any Sane Adult". We saw the direction the US was going in when the Dump was president - the Klan coming back, lynchings, roadblocks, an attempted coup, more Americans dead from covid than have died in all of our wars. If the Republicans get anywhere near having any real power again we can say Goodbye to elections, peaceful transfer of power, anything resembling human rights for nonwhites, LGBTQ, immigrants, etc. We can expect a huge brain-drain and we can expect to beat even our last, historically high, record number of Americans leaving the US and renouncing their citizenship.

  7642. The norm in the US is for your parents to kick you out of the house to survive or starve, once you are 18 there is no more care about you. If you want to go to college, or become a drug addict, or join the military, or become a murderer, your parents and relative will not care which ever one it is. In the US there's the term "raised by wolves" and that's how most US people are raised, except that it's a bit of an insult to wolves, who care about each other more.

  7652. Capitalism requires poverty at the low end to keep people working at the middle end and the accumulation goes to those at the top end. This is Marx 101, really simple stuff. There's tons of study material online too. So you can't expect capitalism to solve the problems caused by capitalism.

  7653. If the shooter was abused by someone in the school, they need only to go to the police and the press. And there's no reason other than sheer hate to kill those kids, who weren't even alive when the shooter went to that school. The key to understanding this is that the school is a Christian school, the shooter a "very religious" Christian, and as Christianity is a very hateful and violent religion, apparently the shooter was just being their version of a "good Christian" and no doubt was convinced they'd go right to their Heaven after killing those people.

Go into a trade, or go into HR, or learn something medical, or open a tire shop or become a shade-tree mechanic, just about anything is better than tech. Tech invented the stripped-down, 1099, no benefits, dog-eat-dog underpaid work force. You're literally better off being a dishwasher because dishwasher--> busser --> waiter ---> maitre'd or dishwasher --> barback --> bartender ---> owner. There's no mobility in tech and once you're 40 you're dogfood.

Anything that has to go out and move around in the real world will constantly wear, break, and malfunction in sometimes hilarious ways. All while taking magnitudes more energy and replacements parts than living things. Pump enough parts, batteries, support of various types and you can have killer bots and drones and stuff, as long as the Empire can afford to keep them going. It requires things going really well for the Empire.

And I grew up in the 70s, it was a fucking poor and hungry time and we'd actually been pretty middle class until I was 10 or 11. The only thing that kept us, and a lot of people, from starving 1975-1980 was government social programs. The capitalists would have been chopping us up for dog food.

I had no idea. Speaking here as a brownish white appearing person, haha.

And, if Donny Dumpo is immune to prosecution for crimes in the past, it also means he's immune for crimes in the future so he can go ahead and commit any crime he wants. He can have people assassinated, rob banks, pretty much anything he wants. So can anyone else who is, or has been, president. This is why the divine right of kings stopped being a thing in modern countries.

I mean, after 08 I really thought it was all coming down, and I learned to garden and keep chickens and all that, but when 2012 rolled around and there were no zombies, by then I'd figured out the survivalists were more wing-nuts than anything else. Most of them seem to want to "bring it on" rather than actually prepare for it.

I had a friend, a doctor who went through his middle-aged motorcycle phase, and he eventually quit bikes because he got stopped allllll the time. He was very white. Myself, I tan brown enough to look local and didn't get stopped by cops on Oahu. I still wasn't that dark, and did get hassled for walking down the street, jaywalking tickets (my bad, jaywalked as part of a local crowd, I got picked out and ticketed) hassled for dumb reasons like "you look like you're still in high school, why aren't you in school?" so I wonder how much people's appearance is factoring in to who they stop? And thanks Mr. Lehto for turning your magnifying glass on Hawaii. I believe the FBI recently declared Hawaii to have more corruption than New Orleans.

  7786. Homelessness in china looks 10X less bad than in the USA. Homeless in China are country people come to the city to find work. Homeless in the US are drug zombies who are avoiding work. China needs to get back to their Marxist-Leninist roots and set up rehab camps for their homeless, the mentally ill ones need asylums, but in the US it's just full-on capitalism on parade, a sort of neo-Dickensian'ism with hard drugs.

Which would just be a small black hole for money just like the college degree would have been. Meanwhile I can go out and play my musical instrument, which doesn't even require electricity, for 4 hours and make the same $93. If it sounds like I feel like modern tech is a huge crock of shit, well ....

Really, you should do a show or two about Team Yamaha motorcycle racing and the Americans who formed a symbiotic relationship and were much admired in Japan.

Funniest thing I've ever seen is, I was outside my local Whole Foods when one of the local homeless ran out with one of their handbaskets full of food. A tall Black guy did the most hilarious "chase", OK first the homeless guy was really short and could not run fast at all with a basket full of probably about 10 lbs of high-value things like cheese and cold cuts. Secondly, the Black guy was tall and lanky - ought to be able to run pretty fast, right? He did this weird sort of slow-motion run. Then stood around going on and on about how he tried to catch the guy, really fishing for compliments for being a "hero". Older guy, probably one of those deluded souls who voted for Trump. Funny as hell. So there's always someone who's willing to do some useless thing and then say, and even think, they did something.

  7846. I remember the night I became really aware of drones. I was at my friend's house and we were all watching TV in the living room. I was in the kitchen I dunno, rinsing out a glass or something and I heard a bang like some firecrackers. I looked out and there was a drone hovering over the back yard like they'd set it up to drop firecrackers. I called to my buddy, "Hey! A drone!" and he came over and looked at it, and it sidled off like "Oops I've been spotted" this was years ago now, something like 10 years or whenever the DJI Phantom first got popular because from the lights on it I'm sure it was a Phantom. Funny stuff! I got fascinated with drones and got a couple little toy ones but I could tell it would be a spendy hobby, too spendy for me.

There are types of reactors that are safer, very safe compared to present designs but no one in the West will build them because the safer types can't be used to make material for bombs and the Western countries will not build any reactor that can't be used to make bombs. This is because the West is all about conquest/invasion/imperialism. China, on the other hand, doesn't think this way. They are all about the long-term, safety for their people, stability. They will certainly build these safer types of reactors because their civilization is about taking care of their people.

  7852. Commieblocks make a ton of sense because if you look at the classic home of commieblocks, Russia, there's tons of semi-wild area around them for that great Russian hobby, mushroom hunting as well as other activities. Also the Commies encouraged tons of different hobby, sport, and interest groups. The closest thing to commieblocks in the US might be the classic trailer park, as they had things like a clubhouse and sometimes even a pool. It was expected that people would want to get together and hang out and be .... social ... Yeah a front yard and a back yard and side yards and a palatial patio and tons of trees and a sandbox and a tree house and space for like 8 bikes and 2 cars and a huge library are nice .... I know, I grew up with them. But if I'm struggling and who isn't these days, give me an inexpensive, safe, cozy little commieblock apartment every time.

  7868. Yes, if you add up all the costs you can end up with crazy numbers like that. So they had someone put a bunch of time into research like how many cans were needed, and trying out a few models to find one, make sure there are 3 US sources etc., then you end up with that kind of money for ONE can. It's like when I worked for an electronics company and to built some testing devices that somehow only I could build and have them work right, and we needed some resistors, so it took me an hour or so to go get them, so if you work the numbers you end up with something like $40 for two tiny resistors that ought to cost a penny or so apiece. It's possible to come up with crazy numbers like this but trust me, auditors exist and the Pentagon isn't paying this for every can.

  7877. I have a theory that Putin attacked with the assumption that Trump would carry out his coup and be in charge in the US when he started invading Ukraine. This did not happen, and now Putin's got a very large, well-armed, mob that's been promised plunder, rapine and all the killing they want, and he realized he holds them back as his peril. He also was not able to kill Zelensky right off which was part of the plan so that's another big Oops. So now.... * Putin's plan is to keep at war, hang on, and plan on his paid asset, Trump, being installed as dictator of America in 2024. There are problems with this. Firstly, there's a pretty fair chance Trump will only see the inside of a prison cell, and also it's a reality now that Europe realizes it's in danger and will fight the orcs, whether the US is enthusiastic about it or not. *This theory explains why Putin would use old tanks for now. Use up the old stuff, then bring out the nice stuff when his asset is in the White House and then he can go all-out. But... we may have seen Russia's "all out" and it's pathetic. And the old tanks may actually be all Putti's got.

  7881. I'm glad I watched the debate rather than just listening on the radio, because I wanted to see the body language. I was a bit annoyed that if you looked at their shoulders in the close-ups when they were side to side, it looked like ABC tried to make Trump look bigger. But then I looked at what the video people were probably actually keying on, which was to make sure the tops of their heads were in the same distance from the top of the frame, and they were equal distances. The difference was, Harris literally stands tall, while Trump had the old-man slump going on. He was even holding onto / leaning on his podium with his left hand, leaving only his right to play his famous invisible accordion on. If he were smart, he'd have leaned his belly on the podium, which given the size of his belly, would have put forth a pretty good illusion of his standing behind it a bit, then he'd have been able to wave both of his little hands around. But he is not a smart person. Meanwhile Harris looked like a Marvel character no kidding. If Kennedy's hair did a lot for him in his TV debate with Nixon, Harris's jawline played a similar role in this one.

Radio was AM radio. TV was the internet at dial-up speed. 8-10 miles into "town" (Gilroy proper) to go to the library which may or may not be open.

  7919. This might give you a laugh: I'm in "Silicon Valley" I'm walking distance to PayPal and a bunch of other stuff. Internet here is so bad, I can't dream of putting any video on YouTube. It would take me one and a half HOURS to put up one MINUTE of video. As for shiny new Apple products and all that, no one normal here can afford those either. Less and less people can own and operate cars. It's very different than the image people have. The largest employers are something like Safeway Market and Kaiser health services or something. Tech is way wayyy down the line. And 99% of tech jobs don't pay any better than working in a cafeteria or something. Very few make $100k+ a year. And once you're over 40 you're unemployable in tech anyway. Silicon Valley is nothing special - it's just another American place with a few rich people, some people hanging on, and lots and lots of poor people. As for some of your own problems with online payments and things of that order, I believe Russian banks are moving to some Chinese platforms for money transfer, so you might want to look into those.

  7933. Not true. Understand Nazis 1.0, and Nazis 2.0 are pretty easy to figure out. There were the rough, rambunctious types like Roehm, and the slick, somewhat more genteel guys like Ribbentrop and Himmler. They were all the same Nazis with the same plan: To "cleanse" the earth of everyone not sufficiently "Aryan". These shitbirds have the same plan, to turn the US into an "Aryan" only ethnostate, it's just that some pound the podium and foam at the mouth like the Dump, and these slick weasels try to convince you they won't send you, your wife and children, your friends, etc to a death came for having "impure blood" or "impure politics".
    1
  7934. Well, if you dig into what the Nazis believed, it's really crazy. Breed pure "Aryans" and they'll be able to fly and have ESP, that all you need to do is eliminate the last trace of brown-ness from humanity and there will be a heaven on earth (instead of a giant trailer park). Nazis were into all kinds of weird occult stuff, hollow-earth theory, they were going to colonize the (now under 100s of meters of ice) the land mass on the South Pole and call it Neuschwabenland (well, humanity will go extinct if all the ice down there melts) all kinds of crazy shit.

  7950. A huge reason for the hostility and violence toward immigrants in the US is the lack of safety net in the US. If I'm in a country with a good safety net and I lose my job, I'll probably just take my unemployed benefit and re-train or something, but in the US unemployment benefit isn't that much, and re-training programs are expensive. So there's a lot of fear of immigrants because in the US if you lose your job it's really easy to end up homeless for the rest of your (short) life. If you have children you have to wonder if they'll get harmed or even die. Compared to these things, harming an immigrant seems like a minor thing. Bring the US up to the level of other OECD countries with a decent social safety net, and this hostility and violence will go way down.

There are cheap meats, eggs, vegetables, nuts, etc. You have to buy "whole" foods and loss-leaders like when Safeway has those huge packs of pork chops on sale. Freeze batches of stuff, learn which veggies are cheapest for good nutritional value, etc.

  7963. One thing that's standard in the US is you get injured and have lots of pain, so they give you enough addictive painkillers to get addicted, then chances are you end up doctor-shopping to get more, and then when that doesn't work any more, you get onto street heroin. Another thing is, alcohol is really pushed in American culture. Alcohol is a horrible drug that can kill you if you drink heavily and just quit. So a doctor may prescribe benzodiazapines, which are harder to get off of than alcohol.

  7964. I believe Putin, being donOLD's controller, assumed he'd win. Now, Russia isn't really a country, it's a collection of gangsters and my theory is that Putin had gotten the Russians watering at the mouth at the thought of all the plunder and rapine and general good fun they'd have invading Ukraine, and when Biden won instead, for Putin it was either let his mob go ahead or they'd attack him. That's how it works in gangs. So to survive he had to let them go ahead.

I was very diligent about the Yakult too, like one day I forgot to drink it before going out for the day, and when I remembered I went right into a store and bought some and drank one right away. The nice thing is, Yakult's really easy to get these days, I see it being sold everywhere.

You're better off with a couple of eggs and some kippers in the morning or something, the black coffee's spot on, but sugar/starch have a high glycemic index and stimulate insulin production, and that makes your body store fat.

  7984. It sounds like the US of decades ago. The US originally had it where you were a full citizen if you were white and Protestant Christian. If you were Catholic that was a demerit, and if you weren't white that did, and does, make you less of a citizen. And the US follows the "one drop rule" where if you have "one drop" of Black etc blood you're Black. Prisons are run for profit in the USA so a Black man out walking on the street is worthless but put him in prison and they make tons of money off of him. So my conclusion is that the USA has no leg to stand on criticizing China for its policies, only for being a few decades behind the US.

There's a lot I don't miss about the rurals and a lot I do. The thing is, a lot of slabbers are more citified then they realize.

Whether it's a big bottle of crappy but cheap Korean beer like Hite, or some deceptively strong soju, or some really and truly strong er guo tou jiu, Korean markets have got you covered.

At least in the USSR there was some hope. Now you orcs are back to having a corrupt and cruel Czar, being kept under control with primitive religion and vodka, Oh so much vodka.

I've tried a few different cloth ones and my favorites are sold by a local Vietnamese sandwich shop, and they seem to have gotten them from a restaurant supply in Georgia. Go figure. Anyway I have a few, and each day I take the day's mask off, wash it and hang it up, and each day start out with a fresh one. Masks are going to become in these days like the necktie and fedora in the 1940s so work out what works out for you, comfort-wise, fashion-wise if you care about that, and get used to 'em.

  8045. West Coast USA here and there was some kind of "cold" that went through around January or so, that made for tons of coughing, I lost my voice for a couple of days, it was really miserable. My boss had it, coughed on me so I got it, and it was really bad enough that if I got that sick now, I'd be pretty worried. But no one's saying a thing about it. I'm wondering if it could turn up to be the first wave, and this now is the 2nd wave. I'm in the USA so I've not got much of a chance of getting tested. But little sore throat, phlegm, having to "puff" a bit more riding my bike, funny little aches and headaches, etc. I hope if I've got it I can manage on my own because the last time I went to the hospital I came back with pericarditis as a souvenir and I don't need that again.

A target shooting place called Gil Hebard's sells something called "X-Ring Rubber Bullets" they're like giant pellets made of black rubber, that come in a number of different calibers, and are powered by primers.

They sound like so damn much fun though!

As a kid growing up in Hawaii (heavily Japanese population and culture) I used to have this sort of thing I'd imagine, like I'd wake up one day .... in Japan. I'd have been traded somehow, and have to be a kid in a Japanese family, with Japanese parents, their kid having been traded to my family I guess, and I'd not know a word of Japanese .... I used to scare myself thinking of this.

  8070. Use cloth masks, you're trying to stop droplets, not teeny tiny particles. Cloth masks are much, much nicer than N95's or paper masks. When you're in for the day, wash your cloth mask; wear a newly washed one each day. You're breathing through a cloth mask not around it, so they collect some dust dirt etc. Try different kinds of cloth masks to find out what works for you; some will fit better than others. Masks are going to be the new fashion accessory like neckties or hats or what have you, so experiment to find out what you like, what's fun, coordinates with what you're wearing, etc.

Yes, he is very smart and unlike political figures who like to go on about how smart they are, he's aware that he's smart about some things, and not-smart about a lot of others, and knows how to find and hire people who are smart about those things. Also, studying pandemics is not as remote from computer science and economics as you'd think. There's a reason computer viruses are called such. I also know he's been studying diseases and how to eradicate them for decades. He wants to eradicate a few. I know he's working on something called guinea worm which is likely the reason for our "medical" symbol.

The Jews living there knew they were front-line, essentially, and the Arabs would have had to attack them first - they know this and they take on this brave duty in living on Jewish land that is not yet free of Arab colonialists.

  8111.  @visualquran_  Halal is pretty easy to maintain in the US because it's about the same as kosher, a bit less strict the main differences between them being kosher/halal slaughter, so if you stick to dairy and fish and naturally of course avoid pork, you're good. For beef/chicken there are halal kabob shops all over these days, and brands that are kosher. The kosher status of foods in the US is very well documented, almost all brands having a little symbol and often saying dairy or "parve" which means not meat or dairy or neutral.

I have a theory that in the end and we're all looking back on this, the US will be shown to have handled it the same way the 1918 flu was handled, and the deaths will be the same per 100,000 people, so the deaths will be around 2 million.

  8126. In a fucking alley, the mother is supposed to give birth to a child with no prenatal care, then when the kid is born, they're supposed to go back to the fucking alley, and starve. I've heard of Catholic, heavy-duty anti-abortion countries that, at least in the past, would house and feed the mother until she gave birth then it was up to the mother to give the child up for adoption. In the US it's nothing like that. I'm in "Silicon Valley" a wealthy part of the US and I can within walking distance see children growing up in parking lots and in the river bottoms. A permanent underclass, kind of like the "blatnoye" in dear old Russia, the kind of people Maxim Gorky wrote about.

  8133. The only problem there, and I appreciate your good wishes for Israel, is that Trump's falling apart and his party wants to bring in Project 2025 which will NOT be good for Jews. They will also cease aid to Ukraine and send that aid to Putin, bad for Europe. In other words, voting for Trump's little admiration club would be VERY bad for Jews and VERY bad for almost all Christians and only good, for a while, to fringe-right Christians. Keep in mind Hitler 1.0, the first one, promised a 1000-year regime and it ended in 12 years with Germany in a shambles. Do you really want that for the USA?

  8150. Seriously don't move here and don't even visit here. Visiting might seem semi-safe but if the unrest here gets bad enough our goons may just clap you into a detention camp because they don't know what else to do with you. This is especially true if you're not "pure Aryan" in appearance.

In fact not long ago it was possible to get fentanyl by the pound on the "dark web" and have it mailed to your door in the US. And all of this stuff is legal at the user level in the US. We love our drugs!

  8162. I'm sorry but this whole thing reminds me of a piece in a British humor (humour?) magazine called "The VIZ" that's really good. it's like MAD Magazine but actually funny. One of the things was a take-off on the kind of small-town "carnival" so many small towns have, overpaying for sugary drinks that invariably end up with a wasp in them, sale table with crap no one wants, etc. One of the things in this was a prize being a ride in Mr Johnson's (I think it was the name) helicopter, obviously one of those kit-built things and the guy's up in the air and you see a word balloon of Mr. Johnson saying "Which one's the brake?"

  8166. That stereotype of Jewish males as retiring and almost effeminate and Jewish women as "too powerful" is even shown in South Park. As for the syphilis thing, I remember getting ahold of my older brother's copy of Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Sex (but were afraid to ask) and reading with horror about syphilis. The sign that you've caught it is a little painless sore called a chancre, which is often not noticed. The disease goes through different stages over decades, the final, tertiary stage being the most horrifying. Al Capone had it and died in prison a gibbering moron due to this tertiary stage. Other signs might include living in a fantasy world, saying something and having no idea a short time after what you said, painting your face orange, being highly influence-able by whoever was in the room with you last, etc. Also shitting yourself and having to wear an adult diaper, probably.

There are centrist Dems and extreme left ones, and I'm centrist all the way. The far-left isn't any better for this country than the far-right is, as evidenced by the far-left antisemitism we've been seeing especially on college campuses but not limited to them. I'll vote Dem all the way but there's no way I'll vote for a pro-Hamas dem. So do your homework!

  8183. Nazis set up a "model" Berlin for the 1934 Olympics and Jews were actually not harassed so much to make things look good for foreign observers. Of course a Republican will say everything's peachy - to them, all they need to do is eliminate all non-whites in the US and then there will be no racism in the US.

  8184. Regarding malnourishment, I can speak up from the trenches. The 1970s were a hungry time in the USA, and your standard American parents are not all that concerned with whether their children are getting enough to eat. So I was malnourished, underweight and undersized, and if I got whatever cold or flu was going through, it would have me knocked out for weeks. Plus, if I was sick at home, I wasn't out fishing and foraging, which means my malnutrition got worse.

  8190. "Going on safari" was "the" thing to do from around the late 1800s up through the 1950s at least. That's why there were all those Charles Addams cartoons with places with a wall covered with animal heads, and it was completely mainstream. You could go on vacation in Hawaii, or if you had a bit more money, go skiing in Switzerland, or for a holiday to really talk about, go on safari in Africa and ... kill animals.

I've got 3 right now and just wash my day's mask and hang it up, and start with a freshly washed one each day.

If I felt like spending more money I could get a burger and fries, the burger was about 50% soy. But I could not afford that every day. Meanwhile in the USA leftover food is poisoned with chlorine bleach, and people go to jail for feeding the poor.

  8227. I found an interesting thread on Reddit on r/medicine : https://www.reddit.com/r/medicine/comments/g2n613/is_anybodys_hospital_rolling_out_back_to_normal/ The TL;DR is that at least in the US, people are putting off going to the hospital so there are lots of people dying from strokes, MI's etc and lots of cases of appendicitis, lots of cases coming in that would have 1st day but they're waiting until say the 3rd day and it's perforated by then. Most of it is fear of catching the virus, but with so many Americans out work a good part of it is simply the un-affordability of health care - a major illness will have you losing your job, house, etc and you and your family will end up on the street.

It didn't happen all at once. If Shitler ges his way, those kids will get their soap all right. Just before they're turned into soap themselves.

I'd have bought a can of this in the Walmart but I only drink diet now. I guess I'll have to try mixing coffee and Coke Zero.

The Arabs, bosom buddies with the Nazis, would have killed, instead of just displacing, the 900,000 Jews who fled the greater Middle East and took refuge in the newly born modern Israel. Discrimination against Jews in the US was rampant, and those Jews who tried going back to Poland were killed. This is why Israelis fight so hard for their existence - they are fighting for their existence.

The Nazi regime found the money to complete the Weimar designed and planned Autobahn system, made sure the elderly and poor etc got enough to eat - as long as they were pure Aryan, of course. They pepped up the economy. So at least Joe Blow German could point to how things were going and say they'd made the right choice voting for Hitler. But the 'Rump has done nothing but make things worse and his followers got the butt-end of this.

  8268. When I was a little kid, I remember Apollo-Soyuz. We kids thought it was cool. Later, when the movie "Red Dawn" was in the theaters, I didn't really take it seriously because I could not imagine the Russians coming and taking over and all that. There were other propaganda movies like that too, once about some kind of supersonic plane that was controlled by ESP or something, and other crazy shit, and it was hard to think of the Russians as actually being evil or really even "mean" lol. I grew up with Isaac Asimov, a Russian Jew who came the US as a little kid and went on to become one of our more popular science fiction authors and even more importantly for me, wrote books that helped me learn chemistry and math. I later learned about the many Russian (and Ukranian) physicists who helped the US war effort in WWII and after the USSR won the world war (which they really did, the Allies got to help and horray for us, but the USSR beat Hitler). I remember around the breakup of the USSR, when I was an athlete, telling some Russian coach how I'd done this and that to modify my equipment to make it work better, and he looked at me with astonishment, and said, "B-But an American, they have to call a technician to their house to show them how to use a screwdriver!" (he really said that in exactly those words.) I replied, "Not an American who grew up in the *country*! which I kind of was, I grew up in a combination of city and country. I guess what I am trying to say is, Americans are not inclined to hate Russian. We hate what Putin is doing because he's being like Hitler. I hope you can get to stay out of Russia, go to Berlin or someplace, someplace cool. Just watch out for the polonium tea. And windows. Yeah, stay away from windows and balconies.

Hitler, Trump's idol, even said himself that the only way to stop Nazism would have been to use ruthless force early on. That's what Germany failed to do and that's what, so far, we've failed to do. We need a present-day General Sherman or more recently in history, perhaps a General Leslie Groves, to set loose on the fascists.

Look at their attempt to take Ukraine, the taking of child slaves, the torture and mutilation of both captured soldiers and civilians but dogs and cats, the looting, etc. These are the behaviors of Dark Ages people, and 99% of 'em are rah-rah in favor of killing Ukrainian children and all the shit that' s going on. It's pretty obvious that if you give these people anything more complicated than an ox cart, they're gonna fuck it up.

  8280. The word "Yankee" is complicated. People in the southern US might fight you if you call them Yankee. People from the Northeast are proud to be called Yankee. And those of us in the West are like, Huh? But the British call us Yanks, all of us, and often disparagingly. Yet, to simplify things I might tell a Brit I'm a Yank to ease communication (although I'm a Californian and I might say that). There also is/was a US Army newspaper called YANK, the other was Stars And Stripes.

  8283. The US has been described as the "Saudi Arabia" of blood export (like Saudi Arabia is with oil) and everyone knows the people donating are homeless, drug addicts, walking petri dishes of disease (blood "donation" companies simply take their word for it that "donors" don't have hepatitus, HIV, etc.) "The blood industry" is one of those US things, like medical bankruptcy, school shootings, lunch debt, christofascism, etc. If you know you know.

  8287. Your hair is nutz man. Learn the way of the clipper .... I used to do a cut where it was long on top, flopped over to the side, and tapered on the sides. Then I got into just getting buzz cuts at a cheap barber's but now I'm back to home cutting, not that weird thing I used to do though, just #2 on top and #1 sides and back. Depending on how short you'd want to do, some of the beard trimmers work fine and I did my first "covid cut" with one. This latest was with a Wahl "Starling Cordless" I got for about a hundred on Amazon. I'm not sure how the availability is now, but anything Wahl will be fine.

I had to learn a rather lot to become an electronics tech and I never made more than the HS dropouts in the warehouse, and even now don't make near what the HS dropouts standing around being security guards make. Moral: Go into something you really love, because you're probably only going to make minimum wage no matter what you do. In my case I'd have studied music. in the Before Times I'd go out playing music on the street and eventually my pay at that got really good.

  8312. It's like listening to the Nazis being tried at the Nuremberg Trials. Goering was especially "Republican" he was very unabashed about his view that the best way to run a society is ... well ... pretty much the same things the Republicans talk about now. Pick a minority to be an "out group" and persecute them, use that to control the entire populace, keep them afraid of each other and spying on each other, raise your society's children to enjoy violence and look down on "book learning" etc.

  8324. Tulsi's a friggin' loon. I grew up in Hawaii. That place has more weird cults per square mile than any other place I can think of. Tulsi's a follower of a weird right-wing cult her father is either high up in or founded, I forget which. She takes all her orders from him. The only reason she was a Democrat was in Hawaii, the Republican party is seen as the collection of fascist nutjobs it is, so to get anywhere you have to be a Democrat. But Tulsi is absolutely fucking nuts and will always make about as much sense as your town's crazy cat lady.

  8325. "Western" culture values brute force, valor in battle, conquest. It is rather anti-intellectual. Jewish culture, in common with Asian culture, values learning and education and valor in battle is considered a necessary thing but no the be-all and end-all. To give an example, Jewish or Asian culture would like your kid to do well in school and get into the Westinghouse Science Fair. Western culture would like your kid to beat up that kid. It's a simple clash of cultures. It's literal schoolyard stuff.

  8328. Ah the glory days of ferrocement boats. My family was friends with a family that lived on one the dad had built. We'd visit and I remember visiting with my father as the boat was being built, too. When the family would go on vacation, we'd stay on the boat as a sort of vacation for us and also to keep things from being stolen because any harbor, even ones in Hawaii where this was, are dens of thieves. Boat life can be fun but it's grubby, and more demanding than living in a house. In a house you can get away with not being right on top of things but on a boat, ignore some little thing and .... your "house" sinks. Yes this happens right alongside docks too.

My country was recently only saved from a fascist coup by a single shot - by a Secret Service agent who shot a drugged-out zombie lady trying to attack crawling through a broken glass door (which, if not drugged to her gills, would have stopped her) but this one shot turned the mob around and put them into retreat.

  8338. Here's another hidden thing: If you have good credit and a bunch of equity you can get a good rate, but if your credit takes a downturn at all, your rate if you want to or have to refinance, is gonna suck. Years ago I was looking around to see if I could get "into" anything at all in my area in Newport Beach CA and I was even looking at something small like a mobile home and I was getting quoted rates around 14% for something like that, and 10-11% for a condo. When people with a house-buying history, equity, etc could get 5-6%. So even if rates stay(ed) at 3-4% like they were so recently, the minute you have any financial weakness, you're going to have your rate doubled or tripled.

And I'm impressed; you move to about the most different country there is, learn 3 count 'em 3 systems of writing and their language in general, which isn't like learning German or French or something, and you get along just champion. I mean, I grew up in Hawaii which is a pretty Japanese-influenced place, so you'd think someone like me would have a real leg up if I were to move to Japan, and I'm pretty certain I'd never be able to learn the language or writing systems. So you've far outdone me!!

It wasn't good for much except playing this weird game that I forget how it went, but it was very, very kawaii. The key to going to Japan is, get someone else to pay for it.

  8362. Until people discovered how to use fossil fuels, if you needed a society beyond a certain size, you kind of needed some form of slavery. I believe this was a big argument of the US South in our Civil War and even now, on Reddit it find people wrangling over political noises being made about "sending all the Mexicans home" (it needs to be noted that in the US, if you're brown and you're not identifiably something else, you're "Mexican") and how US agriculture will just about collapse without our illegal, underpaid, expendable, not-really-slaves-because-they-can-leave people.

There are videos on here if you search using terms like "homeless in hawaii" and there are some characters out on the street in Chinatown etc., who are obviously mainlanders but some of them have been in Hawaii for decades so I dunno. Frankly I'm more worried about loud mainlanders with money who come in and buy multiple houses while native Hawaiians are homeless.

  8399. Biden is getting a lot done - effectively fighting uphill against 50 adversaries - to get student loan relief through. I paid off mine, but I think it's a great idea. I'd like to see some young people able to get ahead. Student loans were not that painful for me to pay off, but looking back, it was really college or a house and I wish I'd taken the other path.

Working-class place, the US went through a recession at the end of WWII as the economy shifted from wartime to civilian time, and war-surplus Harley Davidson motorcycles were cheap and a great way to get around.

The little cans of butane last a long time and it works out a lot cheaper than cooking using an electric stove, and the cans of butane and the stove itself are really inexpensive. I also love my Hario V60 pour-over coffee maker. Instead of something like a Mr. Coffee where you're making a "batch" of coffee, the V60 is for making one excellent single cup at a time.

  8419. As I write, the shekel is worth about 30 US cents. It used to be worth 25 cents which made the math easy, because the quarter-dollar is a really common coin used for things in the US, most famously, laundromats but also soda machines and just making change in general. So if something like that ketchup, the sign says 8 shekels, take 1/3 of that and that's the price in US dollars. In other words, really cheap! In fact the prices I'm seeing are fantastic, with a possible exception of meat, but even that's a deal because it's locally grown Kosher meat for the price I pay for "generic" meat at H Mart or 99 Ranch. (The only silver lining here in the US is, I've noticed apparently Japanese and Chinese and Koreans do not like bloody meat. It's like it's been Koshered. Somehow, for some reason, I've never seen a drop of blood on meat from any of my beloved East Asian markets. So while it's not Kosher, it's much closer to it than the meat in, say, a Safeway.)

  8420. You guys don't have the Emergency Broadcast Service? Creator of those delightful test messages, and inspiration for at least one band? (Emergency Broadcast Network, headed by Joshua L. Pearson, who has many videos on here.) Also, it's handy in the US to know the old CONELRAD frequencies on AM radio, since being a CONELRAD station involved being able to transmit no matter what. After a large earthquake in the Los Angeles area, the local CONELRAD station, KFI on 640kHz, was the only thing on, since they had an emergency antenna all ready to set up after their main one got knocked down, and a generator etc to run the station.

My mom's folks left out of Vilnius in the 1870s or so and tarried a bit in Connecticut, maybe to work in factories or something, then went to Pasadena. My grandmother and grandfather had a mens' clothing store and my grandmother was a skilled tailor. They had ... very Jewish names. No, more Jewish than that. My mother's maiden name was so Jewish (how Jewish was it??) I refrained from reading a book about a young Jewish girl because I thought it might be about my mom and what could be more boring? Europe, the part of if in thrall to the Russians, was such a horror and a charnal house that a lot of people wanted to leave behind everything from "the old country". The Lithuanians are concentrated around the church of "Saint Casimir" in Pasadena.

But they were happy fishing, so Nike did various things to destroy the fishing grounds etc. so now the people were desperate, and would work for the Nike plant or starve.

  8445. I wish I could find it again, but there's an excellent video, if it's still up, about how Hitler decided he had to be expansionist, the whole "lebensraum" thing, because to him, Germans either had to reproduce like mad or die out/become a minority even within Germany. And lots of productive land would be needed to support a larger German population. The video got a lot more technical about, but the lesson I came away with was that Hitler saw things in very simple, pseudo-Darwinist terms. Something like, "My tribe of black ants needs to take over more territory and multiply like mad, so those red ants over there don't wipe us out". In the cast of Putin it seems to be about the same, with a twist: Putin isn't sending very many actual Russians to die on the minefields of Ukraine. Instead he's sending people who are Russian by nationality but are actually ethnic minorities who are in Russia - Tatars and Kalmyks and so on. Plus he's trying to get mercenaries from places like Africa and North Korea to come in. This would have the double benefit, as he sees it, of fighting the war and decreasing the population of these non-Slavic Russians. In this way he can "purify" Russia.

This is most pronounced in America, but English-speaking whites have this culture where everyone's a lone wolf, then they wonder why other groups who actually work together like human beings do better. I explained this to a friend in terms of zebras. There are actually a handful of species of zebra, with one that's common and not endangered because that zebra species is a herd or eusocial animal, like horses are. The other species are all threatened and rare because they're the zebra equivalent of white people. They're solitary or at most come together in small groups for breeding and that's it. Loners.

  8485. The OBVIOUSLY homeless are hated for good reason. The obviously homeless are something like 10% of the actual homeless. The average homeless person is living in their car or couch-surfing or maybe living out of a storage unit and sleeping "around" but are keeping neat and clean, they're not abject alcoholics or druggies, have not fried their brains with drugs or drink or concussions, etc. They're pretty regular people. The ones whose appearance/behavior/smell screams "homeless" are the really hard cases who in a rational society would be in asylums. I've been out there. I've couch surfed and panhandled and done what few casual jobs like weeding a garden, I could find. I met tons of non-homeless-looking homeless people so I know what I'm talking about. I meet them still, now. I've been panhandled by them, their not knowing I was homeless, too. I'd give 'em a few bucks, laughing inside at how funny it was. If you want to help, vote for people who want to set up an asylum system like we used to have. Hell even the Republicans are talking about doing this, so we really need to step up.

  8499. Hell you want "Ancient Chinese Secrets" go to any Chinatown in the US. For instance, I grew up in Hawaii which is essentially a Japanese colony. All well and fine, but whatever good stuff they have going on, they're not going to share with me because there, although I grew up there and went to school with their kids, am a member of a hated minority and the good stuff is not for me. But I can go to Japantown a few miles from here and do all the Japanese stuff I can shake a kanebo at, and no one blinks an eye, of whatever shape. (OK there's one ramen place that doesn't like white people but the joke's on them, their ramen sucks.) I can study Buddhism, kendo, Aikido, join the local taiko club, etc yadda yadda. No one says boo because I'm not a member of a hated minority here on the mainland US. I can even go back to Hawaii, say, as part of a trip organized by, say, a taiko or Aikido group here and I'd be fine, but if I moved back and OK here I am, my haole ass has come home and I'm here to stay, well then it'd be back to the old bullshit - Oh we're not taking new members etc all the usual ways you make someone you don't like on sight and out of principle discouraged. Even as recently as the 1960s / 70s Bruce Lee caught shit for teaching white people his fighting skills. But here on the mainland US people eventually got together and it's OK here if you're really into "ancient Asian" etc stuff whether sports or flower arranging or what have you. But go to China and as many a "weaboo" has found upon trying to move to Japan to live, you're gonna make about as much an impression as if the dog farted.

Segue'ing into talking about chiggers is so random .... what's funny is, my older brother got me terrified about chiggers when we were kids, he had me convinced these tiny black flies were chiggers. They were not, they were just these tiny black flies that like seaweed (this was an area along the seashore).

They had 5 and actually intended 6, but one didn't make it. It has nothing to do with religion or lack thereof, if you were a good American you had all the kids you could. Now, there's a "baby bust" going on because no one can afford kids and the smartest thing you can do is not have kids because they're just going to die of thirst or in war with the fascists.

I understand everyone's getting demonetized anyway so my third-world level internet access probably saved me from a lot of "sunk cost" I'd never get back. Instead I have worked on my musical skills and when the weather is warm I play music on the street as has been done for 1000s of years. It actually pays pretty well. I don't even use an amplified instrument it's 100% acoustic which will be good for when the US electricity grid begins to fail.

Someone who intends to poison noisy neighbors would find the "mensa murders" case because the "mensa murderer" was annoyed with noisy motorcycles etc his neighbors were riding and he put thallium in their bottles of Coke. Someone researching these things would find this case quickly because while it's largely forgotten now, it was fairly sensational at one time.

  8600. The USA has a war-based economy. Imagine someone who gets a chance to try heroin first by snorting it, that would be WWI. After that they kind of want more, but can stay away from it (1920s/30s) then they get some injury (Pearl Harbor) and put on opiates, this time injection. It feels so good! Then they get cut off (end of WWII) but man, they want that drug so much! So they find ways to get more (Korea, Viet Nam, various adventures around the world). The US loves war. It's a war-addict. I say this as someone who's been in the US Army, whose family have been in the US military for generations, whose grandfather worked on the Bomb. The US needs to be de-fanged however possible and if it's through commerce, mutual agreements to wall the US off, intellectual property theft, etc. it doesn't matter. The one thing other countries can help with, is just like with Germany in the 1930s, there will probably be a lot of intelligent Americans who will want to get out. We will have a huge "brain drain" and if other countries can be willing to take the intelligent Americans in, to work for them, it will help the world a lot.

  8613. I should mention that on YouTube here there are a lot of accounts by concentration camp survivors, most of them from the VHS era so there are a lot of pauses while they turn the tape over, and they are quite haunting. They are well worth watching if you are interested in the banality of evil, or in what seemingly non-serious ways things can go from slightly uncomfortable to here are people being marched to the ovens. A good number of German Jews had served Germany with distinction in WWI and considered themselves Germans and patriots. There's not a lot of rhyme or reason to which group a fascist regime decides is the out-group. Mainly it's a group that can be singled out, is not too numerous, and doesn't have much of anyone who has the will or the power to stand up for them. Israel, with its powerful military and allyship with other nations, did not exist during WWII. In the cases of Cambodia and Rwanda, the out-groups didn't have much of a presence outside of those respective countries, and no one in the outer world willing to "go to bat" for them. My boss things in the US, the way things are going, it will be Muslims but I disagree because the US depends on Muslim nations for things like oil, and there's a powerful worldwide Muslim presence. I think it will be LGBTQ+ people plus those who are "leftists" or "disloyal" keep in mind, plenty of non-Jewish Germans went into the camps right from the start.

But our whole country is "Putinizing" right now, we've got the central part of the country holding book-burnings and bringing in all kinds of laws, apparently inter-racial marriages are about to be banned there. Now that's interesting because up into the 1950s, in California here, blacks and whites could marry but for some reason whites and Native Americans or "American Indians" could not marry. A good number of politicians here are going full-Nazi, blaming Jews for things, saying they have space lasers to start fires, all kinds of insane shit. Not only are the elections this year, 2022, quite worrisome, but we may be looking at a full Fascist takeover in 2024. So yeah, if you hear about something crazy happening in the US, do the opposite of the usual skepticism and assume it's true

  8624. In the US people are being fined and even threatened with jail for growing food plants instead of a lawn. We need a Federally-enforced law that protects the growing of food plants, anywhere. During WWII we had "victory gardens" and now people are getting put in jail for having a victory garden? I'll leave it to the reader to conclude which side actually won ... Medicines from India ... of course health care is not really accessible for the poor in the USA and I went through financial hell (I work in tech so I make $300 a week and need to pay 20% of that in taxes) and some pills, made in India, cost me $30 and $60 respectively, that would have cost me 1/10th that where they were made. Later I needed some cream, that cost me $300, again made in India. The USA really needs a Socialist revolution and I'm hoping it could be a fairly peaceful one, but WWII wasn't won peacefully and we're up against the same philosophies.

That's normal in non-Jewish cultures. White Americans do this even now to non-white Americans. Germans did it to Jews 1933-45. Where I grew up there are tons of little groups, Hawaiian, Japanese, Chinese, Filipino, Samoan, etc. It's normal for each group to stick to their own and to screw over anyone from another group, if it can benefit them.

  8648. You need to learn some basic Marxist theory, no shit. Capitalism requires that a few per cent of the population be poor and desperate. And it also requires that the poor and desperate be mixed right in with the workers so the workers see, constantly, what will happen to them if they stop working or ask for higher wages. This is really basic stuff and it doesn't matter where you are on the political spectrum, far-left, far-right, or anywhere in-between, it's important to understand the basic nuts and bolts of capitalism.

  8650. NO headhots! Once you've trapped your cat, shoot in the "boiler room" that all deer hunters are taught to shoot, the heart/lung area that from the side is right behind the point of the shoulder. Headshots are very tricky and most of the time you need 2-3 more shots to be humane. A "boiler room" shot an the animal goes to sleep and that's it. In fact I shot a prairie dog once that fell over like it was a stuffed animal; like a teddy bear because I'd done the shot just right. I can only wish for such a humane death myself when my time comes.

Thanks, I think? I've heard of people leaving their hair out after a haircut or cleaning their brush, for the birds to use.

In other words, not all the foods I eat have a Kosher seal on them but I'm sure not eating pork, shrimp, oysters, etc. And I'm not mixing dairy with meat. And other thing is blood is a no-no. You're not to eat blood. Soooooooo... enter Kosher salt. That big-grained stuff. It's called that because to "Kosher" a steak you'd put this salt on it to draw out the blood. Well, I just buy my beef at Asian markets. I honestly don't know how the meat there isn't bloody, but the beef in Asian markets is super clean. Maybe they centrifuge it or something. So H Mart is my go-to.

I ride over to the local McDonald's on my motorcycle (I lived some miles away in the boonies of the boonies lol) and in 1997 the 99c menu was just that, so I'm gonna get a "McStacker" and i order, the the lady behind the counter says blithely, "Oh, we're out of those" so I start looking at the menu again, to see what else I want to get instead. Then she lady said something like "Gotcha! Do you really think we'd be out of hamburgers? At a McDonald's?" That one lady there had a great sense of humor and that McDonald's was actually pretty cool.

"they" think there were 4 waves of settlement by Polynesians: Kauwa and kanaka ma'oli from Marquesas, and ali'i from Tahiti, but there are also the menehune, which some say are just a superstition like elves or leprechauns but some believe were the very first settlers. America did its best to wipe out Hawaiian culture. I'm old enough to remember my dad's "Coconut Willie" records which were a sort of Hawaiian Amos 'n' Andy but far more insulting, and books saying various Pidgin expressions like "da kine" were said by "people too lazy to say the right thing". Hawaiians had a 100% literacy rate, several newspapers, and were esteemed as hard workers, intelligent, brave, etc. In the end it's a hard thing to say: If Japan or China had ended up with Hawaii I doubt the Hawaiians would have fared any better.

Seriously, for someone coming from Ethiopia making aliyah has got to be a big step up. But for me, well, the US economy is a good thing for the connected, not so good for the non-connected. Fortunately I grew up poor in the way that's unique to the US among OECD nations and I know tons of hacks to survive. I think for me, moving to Israel would be a huge step up. I'll have a trickle of retirement money from US Social Security and I think it will be like Fish, meet Water.

Indeed, the homeless are trying, the problem is, they were generally raised "feral" or if they were raised normally they were spoiled, went to a school system where sitting at a desk long enough got you graduated whether you could read or write very well or not, etc. Then bring in mental illness or drugs or por que no los dos? Especially as the drugs often bring on mental illness. And alcohol, that will cause brain damage on its own, then there's traumatic brain injury which is a continual risk living on the street and getting into fights. So they're trying, but all of this is stronger than they are. It's nice to be able to do them small favors like buy them some food, flip them a few dollars, hand out water etc., but you don't dare befriend them, it's extremely dangerous to let them find out where you live (you'll have to move, FAR away) etc. About all that can be done is bring back the old mental asylums which were places the mentally unfit would live out their lives with the drugs they need to be less crazy and fairly happy.

There's not enough electricity being generated, nor can there be, to bring about this robot takeover people keep talking about. Even the Tesla factories use more human labor, not less, than conventional car factories. Lots of hand-work and hand-fitting. Ultimately, humans can run on 3000kcal a day and you can create and maintain 1 human on 1 decent acre of land. Try doing that with a robot - even a Roomba isn't supportable without tons of resources and exotic metals, etc.

In Germany, in the 1920s and 1930s, there were Jews who were very assimilated, who's fought for Germany in WWI, who considered themselves Germans first and foremost. Well, in 1933 they found out who their real friends, and enemies, were. It was quite common for people who didn't even know they were Jewish, their parents had not told them, to end up in the camps because the Nazis didn't care how assimilated you were, a Jew was a Jew and that was that.

I recommend this because really strong liquor has a different effect than merely strong liquor. It will make the drinker of it not just act crazy, but act really crazy. Do not just stupid things but really stupid things. You get the idea.

  8784. No one reads even 100-year-old gun manuals much less stuff from the late 1700s but "well regulated" means "sighted in", and also practiced up. Adjusting the sights like every deer hunter does just before the opening of the season was called "regulating" the sights. You can also see the term "the regulation of the sights" in older shooting manuals.

Set up prison camps into which went LGBT, disabled, Gypsies, German dissidents, eventually they started in on Jews, but Jews were not the only groups. You could be 100% pure German, "Aryan" etc. and if you voted for the other guy or was outspoken at all, into the camp you went.

  8798. I did not think I could like Christians even less but here we are. The situation being talked about around 8 minutes in is like the situation if white people got all fascinated with, say, Navajo Native American spiritual beliefs and practices, then started to criticize the Navajos for doing it wrong and punishing them. If Jews are so wrong why are you using their book? And writing horrible fan fiction (the "New Testament) based on it?

If you can save 10% of your income, and there's a reason churches cite this amount, because it's an amount that people can set aside one they put their mind to it, that takes some pressure off. Look at ways you can cheat "the system" of some of the money it takes from you, and it takes pressure off.

The reason so many homeless people have dogs is, a dog will help you keep warm when it's cold, and will watch over you while you sleep, and a good dog will give its life defending you, because the dog knows if someone's going to kill you, they'll kill the dog too. Dogs are also good for begging, because Americans don't give a damn about other Americans but they care about dogs.

And have to pay that California rent on a $7.25 an hour minimum wage. I've lived outside California enough to know the bums here are gentlemen compared to the psychotic zombies you'll run into in flyover country. The crime rate even in a large California city is tiny compared to that in a tiny shithole town in a flyover part of the US. But yes, by all means, keep pushing the California == hell narrative, it seems to suck the right-wingers right in.

  8883. Tech jobs are pretty close to gone in the US esp. in anything hardware. In software, you're good from when you graduate college to age 40 then you'd better have the eyesight to drive a truck. So you've got, if you do everything exactly right and have a supportive family, 18 years to pay off your college loans and make anything beyond mere survival-money to sock away for the future. And chances are, you're not going to realize this. So if you're very, very lucky, you get to work as a janitor.

Took it home, tested it, worked fine but needs a new filter. Put the model etc into Google and up came the prices to order it from a lot of different places including the factory. Now for the price of the filter element I'm ready for that "red air" which might not come this year (it's going to take a while to grew up lots of brush etc. to have a really "good" fire season) but it will come again and now I won't have to breathe it.

I'm old enough to remember when my parents had guests over (they were non-smokers) we kids got to get out the collection of ash trays and put several in each room the guests would be in (living room, family room, large semi-outdoor patio etc.) 1964 is 58 years ago as I type this and ... people smoked, thought worry caused ulcers, took "uppers" sold over the counter as "diet pills", toothpaste came in LEAD tubes (I remember 'em!) and so on. So of course designing some kind of heavily armed super-sky-scooter was par for the course.

I used to wonder, in competitions, why do all these other nations that have a lot of restrictions on guns, beat our asses all the time in international shooting competitions? In actual first-world countries you have to pass background checks, join shooting clubs, pass exams etc., where here in the US guns are super easy to get - we should be cleaning everyone's clock in the Olympics etc. But we're not. We're kind of pathetic actually. The number of guns and bullets etc you need for defense is pretty low. There are tons of exercises you can do without live ammo especially lately with systems like Mantis.

Oswald was so nuts he probably fell for some Q-level "logic" as to why killing Kennedy was beneficial, just like how so many are fooled by the Right these days. Kennedy was a genuine hero, read up on the story "PT-109" he served with great distinction in WWII and all of that was not talked about when I was a kid, I had to learn the PT-109 story on my own. I hate to say we don't deserve leaders as good as the Kennedys, but history is proof of this.

  8904. I would like to add that about a year ago I thought I might have TB and wanted to get tested, and getting tested, as I am not wealthy, was basically impossible. I finally got so tired and run-down that I went to the emergency room, and it turned out to be bacterial pneumonia, which plenty of people die of in the USA too. I got some pills, and in a week I felt great. I'd have had an easier time going to a barefoot doctor in sub-saharan Africa, as it was financial hell paying for very simple medical care here in the USA. But it was that or die, to the tune of more than I make in a year (I did eventually not have to pay that much of it, only about a month's income out of pocket, since I'm so poor.) If you are young and intelligent at all, and in the USA, get out!

  8922. It's out of left field, but my side-gig last summer was playing trumpet on the sidewalk for tips. It paid pretty well. It's only a summer job, though, as it seems over the colder months I'm doing well to make min. wage and I'm not that desperate. But it's a nice side gig because live musicians are so vanishingly rare. So, lately I've gotten interested in playing flute instead of trumpet, and since I've played some flute several years ago and played a lot of trumpet since, I knew I didn't want a beginner-beginner flute but more like an "intermediate" one. So I did tons of research and figured out the one I want, a Yamaha 362 that's about $1600. So I went to my favorite music shop, owned by a flute player and a very well-connected Yamaha distributor and ... "We don't have those, we might have a few in May....". So I got the next model up for $2K instead. Because who knows what will be going on in May .... Supply chains are fucked up, the world situation is fucked up, I'm not sure how many spaces I have left on my Apocalypse bingo card, but surely there's room for "hackers take down US power grid", "New Covid variant with 5% case fatality rate" and such things on there. I mean, May feels a long time off. But hell yeah I've got my flute.

It's a much smaller, if noisier and much more damaging, group than all US Democrats and the US would be a much better nation with them gone.

  8956. While it may be hard to find instances, say a canceled check from V. Putin to D. Trump, just what Curtis is saying, that there are all the shadowy oligarchs who have the real power, backs up we liberals' assumption that Russia had a huge part in getting Trump elected. It doesn't have to be Putin calling the shots, more likely it's those who control Putin are calling the shots. And all it takes is money. Just like the vast network of states like Qatar funneling money into US colleges and funding the huge anti-Semitic demonstrations and even imitating Nazi-era acts like students linking arms and keeping Jewish students and professors(!) from entering colleges here in the US, it's entirely possible to simply have lots of money funneled into the US to back Trump's campaign. I know there was one money pipeline that was revealed, where money was funneled in via the NRA. I was actually an NRA life member before I told them to fuck off a couple decades ago. It used to be, honestly, mostly about duck hunting and safety and there was a lot of neat historical stuff in the NRA's magazine, and I saw it become more and more a political organization based on stoking fear because that boosts gun sales. The NRA of the 1970s, when I was reading The American Rifleman magazines a handyman left at our place when I was 10-12 years old, where I read about ballistics and historical shot towers and the golden age of derringers and so on, was gone. Now the magazine's much thinning and what isn't adverts for guns that all seem to be black and "tactical" looking is thinly disguised if disguised at all, screeds stoking fears of non-whites and of the government that wants to take your guns away. Wayne LaPierre, the guy who forever burned his bridges with me by calling us "ath-uh-letes", is incredibly corrupt so this is an organization ripe to be simply taken over by the Russians.

  8960. I'm gonna get all scientific here. Firstly, the American diet is based on starches and sugar. This causes wise swings in blood sugar, so you get the "hungries" really bad if you haven't eaten in a couple of hours. Add in the fact that the average American worker is poor so they're rushing to get home, or they've got maybe 15 minutes to eat their lunch, or are rushing to work to not get docked a half-hour's time for being late by 2 minutes. Plus, the US is based on having a car. So you've got a stressed out, poor and desperate, low blood sugar case who's been sitting in their car with 10,000 of their adversaries in the great lemming race, and as the cherry on the top, I honestly believe fast food places have a "stupidity field". Let me explain the stupidity field. I went on a very rare trip to a casino with some friends. My friend's brother also didn't gamble but he had more money to gamble with than me, and put his coins in a slot machine or something, and got a big double handful of coins or tokens or whatever they were back. My friend shouted in his ear, trying to tell his brother to pocket them and call it a night, but it was so noisy, and there were so many flashing lights and shit going on that my friend's brother fed them right back into the machine, getting nothing back. My friend's brother could not understand what my friend was shouting into his ear, and thought he was supposed to feed them in again. This is an example of a stupidity field. Now fast food places can't be as blatant as casinos, but I think they have things set up so your brain is just about at the starving lizard level and all you're capable of doing is point at one of the ripoff specials and grunt. That's what they want you to do. They want you to get Special #1, #2, or #3, where the sandwich alone would be maybe $4 or $5, but the special is like $12. That way they're selling a big cup of sugar water and some cheap potatoes for $5 or $6 or $7 and that's where the profit is. Although some places have loud background music, I think they actually do weird things with the electronic and constantly-moving menus, subtle things like counter heights, color themes, the way people are channeled moving through the store, all kinds of weird shit, even with how cold they keep those places inside. I haven't gone into a fast food place in I don't know how long. Mainly it's cheaper to sit down in a Denny's anyway, and mostly I just keep food that's ready to go, as well as stuff that takes some preparation, at home and if I worked in an office, I'd have it stashed in my office. And, I follow to a great extent a low-carbohydrate and needless to say low-sugar diet so I don't get "the hungries'. And, surprisingly for an American, I don't partake of pot, smack, Krokodil, meth, alcohol, airplane glue, vapes, silver paint, 'shrooms, weed, anything really. I did drink but finally quit when I realized how harmful it was to me, and I was paying for it! I realized it's a racket.

That light bulb factory guy kinda reminds me of myself, (mostly) white and grew up in Hawaii, bullied by kids and adults, treated as a 2nd class citizen by the main power group there, which are Japanese people, so I worked and worked and studied hard so I could leave. And I tried to be 100% mainland American but actually .... the mainland sucks. And my "fellow" white people here pretty largely suck. And high tech and electronics well, it was good 30 years ago but now all the money's out of it and I'm no better off than if I were a high school dropout doing day labor. I've gotten hooked up with the local Japanese-American community, joined the Buddhist temple, will dance this upcoming Obon, etc really gotten integrated back into what was the culture I grew up with, and they're super nice people. The old generation that ran things in the 70s and 80 isn't in power any more, and most of them aren't still even around. I'm looking forward to retiring back home in Hawaii (it's like 1/2 the cost of living in San Jose California) and who knows, I may have learned Japanese by then. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!

It's common courtesy. A saying, "Your mask protects me, and my mask protects you" would be a good one to get people familiar with. Masks keep small droplets from spreading around, and are also good for reminding yourself not to touch your face - a thing sushi chefs learn to do but it takes real work to become that disciplined about it.

Yeah, yeah, Stalin was a mean man but he was also fighting the last bit of the red/white Russian civil war, with the White side having aid from the West, then fighting WWII (which he won, the rest of the allies helped) then there was the cold war which wasn't just cool movies it was assassinations and torture etc. Why do you think the USA has so many "black" sites? Think they all just popped up yesterday? Stalin was playing a defensive game. Finally he died and Russia got perhaps their greatest leader after Lenin, Khruschev. Life was really good for Soviets then - there's even a book about it called "Red Plenty" which is fascinating reading.

This is not because the US gives money to Israel it's because of US culture, we call it "Survival of the fittest" or "dog-eat-dog" Americans kick their children out of the house by age 18, family don't help family, everyone's on their own. The US could easily afford an Israel type social safety net but you can't expect savages to care for one another.

Maybe it's why we're letting our homeless people get it, and poor people in general have to work the kind of survival jobs like supermarket checker etc they're much more likely to get it. And the plasma places are reportedly paying quite a bit more for plasma from a recovered person.

Food in the UK is 1/3 the cost it is in the US maybe even more like 1/4 the price if you're a careful shopper. Food in the US is expensive!

I've hung out with survivalists, who take pride in "seeing past illusions" and "seeing things as they are" and they take half of their reality from movies. They'll talk about how things are "going to go down" and immediately say it will go this way or that because "in this one movie..."

He knew war with Germany was coming, and it was the hard equation of losing 10 million people or losing everyone. Hitler was very clear on his plan to depopulate Eastern Europe and Russia of "inferior" Slavs and Stalin knew this. However the Holodomor is within living memory still, just barely, and this does not help Russia's cause. What's more pertinent is Putin's troops acting indistinguishably from Hitler's. To an outside observer such as myself sitting happily here in the US, the things Putin's allowing and even encouraging his troops to do are horrifying, and I think it's pretty obvious that the only way to win this thing is to make sure plenty of Russians don't go home or if they do it's minus an arm, a leg, their dic, etc.

I was watching a major US network (NBC) nightly news before watching this, and on the segment about how to get the kids back into schools, one teacher talked about how her 1st-graders "needed" hugs and that surprised me because I grew up in Hawaii, which is a very Asian-dominated culture, where "Asian" is mostly Japanese. And even in first grade, you don't get hugs nor do you ever feel that you need them. Teachers are very respected and there's plenty of love floating around the room, we sang and played games and did a lot of music together which I've learned as an adult is Japanese folk music, and there were zero huge and zero feeling what one was being left out by not having any hugs. There was lots taught about hand-washing too.

  9091. In the US life expectancy is going down. The 2020 census data is in and the percentage of "white" people in the US is way down (I think a lot of that is it's now possible to say you're of mixed race if you're of mixed-race so a lot of us who just got chalked up as "white" are now more accurately describing ourselves) and according to most "white" people this is a bad thing. I'm in "Silicon Valley" and, well, it's pretty damn dystopic. A lot of dystopic things keep happening, and adding them up over the years is pretty depressing. For one thing, my income is leveled off at about $17k and that's about all I'll ever make from here on out. I'm trained in electronics, and right now have work because I help a friend sell "electronic surplus" that is, electronic stuff made in the past, in better times. I see all kinds of stores, big and small, closing. Mom'n'pop places to Fry's Electronics which was a big thing in this area. We no longer have a working light rail system because a Nazi shot the entire crew who maintain the high voltage lines the light rail trains run on. Our passenger train system is running fewer trains and I'm not sure about our buses except I read just yesterday that there's a lack of drivers - died of covid or what, I don't know. It's like distances are getting longer - I mentioned to a guy here in San Jose that I'd visited Mountain View and he didn't know where Mountain View is (it's the next city after Sunnyvale as you go up the peninsula toward San Francisco). I play a musical instrument, one that doesn't require electricity which is good because I'm not sure how much longer electricity will be a thing, plus it makes things a lot simpler. I play on the street; I'm a street musician/busker. As such I keep track of what other buskers are around, and there used to be many of them. Now, there's one other besides me, a fellow I've been friends with for years who plays saxophone and I've not seen him for a couple of weeks - I'm a bit worried about him. I've actually been making decent money doing this but it's eerie having a city of 1 million all to myself as its sole busker. I'm hoping to get a few started in this "career" because I plan to leave in a few years myself. I'm not even seeing as many street bums as there used to be. I dunno if they've died off or been shipped off somewhere. I never thought I'd miss bums/beggars but it's kind of eerie seeing so few now.

But it was dead, dead, dead tonight and it was Friday night. I didn't even make that much playing music tonight and tonight's highlight was a guy who paid me $10 to not play "Amazing Grace" lol.

  9113. USA crime is off the chart, I lock my bike up with a huge fuckin' lock and it ain't Asians I'm worried about stealing my bike, it's native-born Americans. As for the boiling water, that's funny because that's something I have in mind also, got my kettle, and if someone charges in here they're gonna get it. Mainland USA race is a huge taboo to talk about. In Hawaii where I grew up, people are more frank about it, because it's really a very diverse place. You can lose your job on the mainland US, for what's casual conversation in Hawaii. Whites are still the huge power bloc on the mainland US. They are, as a group, very violent, and hold all the political power. And there's "white fragility" where if you even question their power, they get scared which means they get angry which then typically means they get violent. Lastly, the USA is not just poor, it's really fucking poor. 50% of the people, in reality, live in poverty even if they hide it well. So they have a car, but they're not only sharing a room but sharing a bed - 4,5,6 people per room etc. And the bottom 20% or so are basically homeless. Access to education, medical care, even being able to vote, forget about it if you're poor. Frankly you're better off in China if you're poor, because in China you, as a country, are headed upward and there's social mobility. There's no social mobility in the US, all you can try to do is become poor more slowly.

  9126. Great! I'd be happy to just be allowed to get it. Tractor Supply is a pretty neat place. Good place for chicken feed and all kinds of rural stuff including, well, tractor parts. They had the carb rebuild kit I needed right on the wall.

  9127. I ship things all over the world, and for months now, when I print out the label for something going to taiwan, it shows up as TAIWAN PROVINCE OF CHINA no kidding, it's even in bold like this. So if you're in Taiwan, you might want to start making some plans...

  9130.  @johndong7524  It gets more complicated. Fry's in California is a computer/appliance store, but in Arizona there are Fry's supermarkets, same company.

  9131. I remember reading on this on Reddit and a lot of people are/were saying that when people fly, it's a stressful time, people will drink alcohol, they'll take their prescribed drugs like, well, imagine all the goofy pills a large portion of Americans take just to stay semi-sane. Then there are the un-prescribed medicines, 'shrooms, weed (and some weed makes people get anxious not relaxed) all kinds of shy shite people decide to ingest. I have a flight planned in about a year and although I might end up flying business or even first class (because it's my last planned flight ever and it'd be neat to experience) my idea of a nice flight-time drink is some tea.

  9132. My youngest sister almost died from pneumonia. Actually, the real cause of death would have been malnutrition because we were soooooo well fed in the 1970s under glorious capitalism... but on paper it would have been pneumonia which she did indeed have. What helped was we moved from the hills down near the ocean, so the foraging was better and I learned to fish, and we got access to a doctor who prescribed antibiotics for her, and that plus more food fixed things up.

  9136. A good example is swimmer Michael Phelps. Nice enough guy, I guess, when he's not out driving drunk anyway. I've met single-minded athletes like this and there's not enough between their ears to have any political opinion - they're going to vote, if they vote, for whoever is the flashiest and has the most power so I assume he's a Trump supporter. It doesn't matter that the guy has the intelligence of a wad of trout bait, he could swim like no one else and that's got him made for life. That's the message of this movie. Why can't you, and I, be more like Forrest Gump and just run fast (or do whatever we're good at) and don't ask questions?

  9138. There's a 1970s series done, US/USSR cooperation, called "The Unknown War" with WWII footage, about the Soviet side of WWII, and there are interludes with some US movie actor talking about stuff while walking around parks, monuments etc in the 1970s USSR and I can tell you, those USSR people were healthy, happy, well-fed, while during those same years I was under-fed, had maybe 1 good t-shirt, etc., I'm all for another USSR and this time, let them win. The USSR was a light to the workers of the world.

  9140. Alcohol withdrawal is no joke. The cops really need to have some Librium they can give to the guy to get him out of withdrawals then they can haul him off to jail.

  9142. Also, I was listening to a show on the radio here in the US, and apparently in mainland USA schools, it's expected that say, 1st grade teachers will hug the students? WTF? I grew up in a part of the USA that's not on the mainland, very Asian culture, and you don't hug your teacher, that's what your mother is for when you get home! There is respect, and you don't feel un-loved, not at all, but there's not a lot of close physical contact like hugging.
