The craziest thing I've seen, and I get that's it's mild, was mid-2020 in Walmart, in the middle of everyone going about their business, looking at the empty shelves, lamenting the lack of toilet paper, this disheveled looking old lady RACES up shoving everyone out of the way, grabs a big multipack of bottled water of a stack of them, throws it in her cart, looks around at everyone wild-eyed like a dog daring you to try to take away the steak it just snatched off the table, and RUNS away into the store. I and the like dozen people standing around in the dairy section all look at each other like "What the fuck was THAT all about?!"...and then like 5 of them grabbed a pack of water too lol.
That made me think, wow that was crazy, now imagine 500 people acting like that in the same store.

I'm not going to lie, today's weed is pretty crazy, and that makes me feel old as a millennial. I smoked for a decade before 'adulting', and recently my employer revealed that they would not fire people who test positive if they're prescribed.
So I got prescribed. After not using for 8 years, I went to the dispensary and was like "Let's try one of these vape pens...ooo Sour Diesel, I liked that before, let's see it's only 75% THC, that's not that much, right?"
Turns out this is where he realized he fucked up lol. I took a rip off this vape pen and didn't think I was going to make it home. I did, but holy shit I was not expecting to get trip to Mars high, just a little buzzed, sheesh.
The future is crazy.

Australia is RIGHT up to the line of actual war with China at the moment. China f-ed them royally, and openly, when covid was ramping up by having Chinese nationals buy up all the medical supplies in Australia and shipping them back to China while they kept the coof disaster concealed. Then covid hits Australia and they had nothing, no ppe, no ventilators, no masks, no gloves, their people died as a direct result of Chinese action. That's like secretly setting someone's house on fire, not telling them, then stealing all their fire extinguishers and locking all the doors on your way out and watching them burn alive telling the fire dept "I don't know WHAT happened, innocent me over here, what a tragedy this happened to them"...
THEN they destroyed the Aussie win industry last year, by imposing a massive tariff on imports of wine to China, killing something like 80%+ of the customer demand for Australian wine overnight. And I'm sure I've missed many other stories and events, but China is waging outright, blatant economic war against Australia, and they're quite incensed about it and not taking it. I've joked with friends I discuss these things with "How crazy would it be if the WW3 everyone has always predicted started with Australia going to war with China, of all players." The UK and Russian have had some very intense friction recently as well, with just a month or so ago the Russians saying they'd use nuclear weapons against the UK Navy if necessary to keep them away from Crimea and Ukraine.
It would be such historical irony if the US ended up playing a supporting role in a WW3 scenario of UK/Australia vs Russia/China, after everyone thinking it would be the US vs everyone for so long. So goes the moves on The Grand Chessboard, as Brzezinski famously called it.

Just think about how...interesting...it is that we live in a day where one nation invades another and there is outrage and surprise that the invading nation would hit a civilian home with non-precision artillery. Look to history and you see that targeting civilians was a feature of large scale warfare, not a bug.
HIROSHIMA, for example, was a civilian target deliberately chosen for psychological impact. In WW2 Europe entire non-military cities were obliterated, see Dresden and Hamburg, or for Pacific theater, Tokyo. Tens of thousands of civilians were killed in these bombing campaigns. Stalingrad was sieged and blockaded by the Germans for YEARS and MILLIONS of Russian civilians, women and children, died/starved to death.
What was a major disconnect for me here was "Russia invades Ukraine!...watch live on our livestreaming Kiev/Kyiv cam!
If there was a 'real' invasion, I'd expect ZERO news, because I'd expect all communications to be down, no cell service, no GPS, no sat phone, no internet, radio jamming, a complete black box. The fact that people are calling in and out, livestreaming, webcamming live from cities, seems ODD. On a good day in the US, comms are down and out at least somewhere, yet in Ukraine they're under the alleged worst invasion since WW2 and everything is just running fine? OK.

Man, I remember when covid was really ramping up, like March 2020, I asked my parents, whom were born in 1940 and 1944, if they ever remember, ever in their long lifetimes, born during WW2, did you ever go to the grocery store and see no bread, no milk, no meat of any kind at any price on the shelves?
Their simultaneous answers:"Of course not, this is AMERICA!".
Then I showed them my phone and the photos I'd just take at the local Walmart where all the meat, produce, bread and dairy shelves were bare and they were completely shocked. They thought I was pranking then. It was that unbelievable to them, food shortages, in the United States?!

I know it sounds shallow and vapid, but if you're a billionaire like Putin, with a well-known penchant for wearing custom, individual tailored $10,000 Brioni suits, how serious can you take a guy who sits down across from you, from the allegedly most powerful opposition nation, wearing at best a Ralph Lauren number his wife probably laid out for him? Biden doesn't even wear American made aviators, he wears fucking RAY BANS, TRASH! AT LEAST he could be wearing American Optical or Randolph Engineering Aviators, made in America.
Anyway, these meetings, The G7, the G20, the WEF, Davos, they're all drinking club social events, and everyone knows you will be judged on how you dress for the social occasion, and I'm just saying, as a citizen of the United States, a shareholder in this company as it were, I'd like my CEO to meet with the other opposing company CEOs and be the best dressed in the room, befitting the big dick energy of a GDP above $20 trillion.
Like I said, it's shallow and vapid, but that doesn't make it untrue.

TRUE, that does make logical sense. Both parents have equal 'claim' to the kid, if one forfeits that claim by choice, like taking a name off a title, the father should then be the sole parent, all shared rights relinquished by one partner are gained by the other.
I'm an adopted kid, and as I was told, before I could be family-adopted, my bio dad had to legally sign away all rights of any kind to me, only then were my grandparents able to legally adopt me. Of course, had there been a different 'choice' made, he wouldn't have been consulted at all, which is very wrong. Not all parties get a say, I know if I had been asked, I'd have voted to live, and being alive now I reaffirm that vote.

"when did the admin hand the keys to the inmates?"
When the UK left and the inmates BECAME the admin.
It's kind of like the US: what happened to the hippies who partied at Woodstock, promoted free love, burned their draft cards, and chanted about fighting the power and taking down The Man?
What happened to them is they now run the country, they BECAME the man, they took over The Power. I had a university history professor of mine tell me that exactly, that he grew up a free love hippie, he brought his ticket stub from Woodstock in to show the class, he was an anti-war protester, here's a photo of him burning his draft card, all that. And he was like "And how did that turn out? Now I wear a suit, live in the suburbs, pay too much in taxes, and go to stuffy conferences and conventions...I didn't fight The Man, I BECAME The Man."
Van Jones said something to that effect as well, stating in a 2005 newspaper interview that “I’m willing to forgo the cheap satisfaction of the radical pose for the deep satisfaction of radical ends.”
In effect, bide your time, keep your agenda hidden, forego implementing your plan quickly and overtly, so that when you are in position to advance your agenda, it happens, it's too late to change it, and you get what you want.

Here in Northeast Missouri, the corruption starts at the county sheriff's office and trickles down from there to the local PDs. Being elected is a double edged sword for a sheriff because it makes them beholden to lots of backers and local bigwigs to get into office, and this is a district that whips back and forth from deep red to bright blue periodically, so it can be a political bloodbath time to time.
Now, when a sheriff or deputy runs for other elected office, like one recently did, no one is willing to speak out against that candidate because they're a corrupt cop, you'll get on their list and retaliated against if they lose, which is exactly what happened. They turned on each other as well, one faction threw another deputy that got in as a state House Rep under the bus by leaking all the dirt they had of the shady shit they all did as cops, because he didn't back one of the others wives who was running for office.
She lost without his endorsement, so they tried to end his career.
The biggest problem is the sheriff IS elected, BUT you can't get good cops anymore, and it's hard to fire the ones they have, so all you do is replace the figurehead in an election while the rotten dept under them just stays in place from sheriff to sheriff, rotting more.

Do all the Dems who scream 'muh democracy' not realize that if the US was an actual democracy, we'd probably have a Christian national religion, abortion would be outlawed, guns would be mandatory, and we'd still have slavery.
Democracy never favors any minorities, it the tyranny of the majority.
And The US is by majority Christian, pro-gun, pro-life, and in our past we'd have probably voted pro-slavery, if we decided things by a public majority vote.
Democracy is always their high virtue, until The People use it to vote against them...

Here's my question...WTF does Poland, Ukraine, Hungary, Slovenia, Romania have to do with the NORTH ATLANTIC?! That's the 'NA' in NATO.
it would be like me living as I do in Missouri, and running some large organization called the Pacific Coast something or the other, or the Atlantic Seaboard whatever group...we might as well introduce Australia and Japan in to NATO and start calling them honorary European nations lulz.
Geography for my 38 years has always put Ukraine as part of ASIA, just like Russia, yet this week suddenly every news outlet declared it's now in Europe, just as fast as they pivoted from calling it 'Kiev' for 70+ years, to now over the last weeks it's abruptly and without even a nod to the change 'Kyiv'. These talking points and linguistic tricks don't just 'happen', this is coordinated.

As a 39 year old debt free millennial, I'm salivating, this is finally MY chance, I actually have means and money and low risk, I can be the guy who swoops in and buys shit from everyone else for cheap and profit, like what happened the last two times.
Recessions suck if you're poor, but if you're not it's just clearance shopping for houses and cars and toys.
Guns, super cheap, it's the first thing people sell.
If you default on your new house, rest assured someone will get a great deal off of your misfortune, so there's that at least.
We'll talk about it at the next meeting of the Elder Millennial Council, remember we have that zoning deal to vote on.

Realism. Taking the world as it IS, not how we WANT it. That's pragmatism. Doing whatever actually works, no matter how stupid or bad or counterintuitive it seems to people. The Wright brothers were pragmatists, what's the easiest, most low-effort way to fly, well that's this, ok let's try that! But, that means ignoring orthodoxy! Do it anyway, and win.
The book definition agrees with me: "A practical, matter-of-fact way of approaching or assessing situations or of solving problems."
If you told me someone is pragmatic, by default I assume they're also very PRACTICAL, practicality being a hallmark of pragmatism.

Did mushrooms several times and acid once in college with a group. Never saw 'entities' other than lights and visuals and patterns dance and such. I thought my brown speckled carpet was a rattlesnake for a moment on acid, but said hell no, this is all in MY mind and Im not into snakes, poof, snakes de-manifested. Probably helped I've been a lucid dreamer since childhood.
The main journey of shrooms I always had was every time I felt body poisoned and thought I was going to die, no question, I was dying....until I followed my fellow trippers advice to 'let go, to jump off the cliff and fly, stop holding onto that ground". Once I could get past that point it would be a great time, it's like my mind has to be talked into letting my body 'die' to be able to start the trip. Usually took 30-45 min. Perhaps that's 'ego death'? Who knows.
OF NOTE: I had occasional headaches for the 20+ years before I did shrooms, and in the 10+ years after I did then, I've had a headache maybe 5 times, other than like dehydration/overdrinking/head trauma headaches. There are many studies of psylicibin as a treatment or even cure for migraines, so it makes sense. It was also good for critical thinking, every person should experience not being able to trust what you're seeing for a couple hours at least once, you'll spend the rest of your life looking deeper at life.

Demonitized has no relation to being de-advertised lol. You get ads regardless, only change is who gets paid from them.
My channel has never been monetized, I have it off, opted out, I don't even have an adsense account...my videos have had ads for at least 10 years I can remember. I have to watch them myself on my own videos lol. Never gott a penny, nor do I really want to.
The sole purpose of the platform is to serve the users, advertisers, with the product, you the viewer, to see their ads. A video happens somewhere in there but doesn't really matter, it's a byproduct of the actual service, advertising.

If you take a penny from the government, you are state sponsored media.
If you take a penny from advertising or platforms, Styx, you're corporate sponsored media.
It's all about who owns you. The sole way to go is value for value. Have listeners donate what they feel it's worth, and take zero ads, zero monetization. Some of the biggest podcasts right now make millions that way, with zero ads, zero sponsors, hell they don't even use a platform, they distribute mp3s via RSS, free, zero censorship possible. You can say literally anything because there is no carrot or stick, and no way to cancel it. Move to that model, get super rich. When you tell people to give what they think your content is worth rather than asking for an amount does make donations and revenue go up. It works

@kieran5191 I can verify through my lived experience that no, nothing delivering THC in a liquid form at 90%+ potency for vaporization was available last time I was a smoker, 2014-ish, and my multinational college roommates from 3 other continents had never heard of that either. I had to learn what that even was when I restarted legal smoking last year.
My first dispensary trip, "Idk, is 91% THC like, a lot? Whatever, give me that pen there..." Then I almost lose consciousness after the first hit I bongrip drew from this disposable vape lol. I went into orbit for hours, and the edibles, holy shit. Edibles were a fantasy we had, we tried soaking ditch weed in butter and using that lol. Now I have a few Missouri's Own gummies a day.
But stronger weed just means use less. Instead of buying an eighth for a weekend, I get a 1 gram 80%+ vape cart for $10 less than flower, and that can keep me stoned to the bone, wake to sleep, for a whole week if I wanted it to. Without lighters or pipes or resin or smelling terrible.
OR, one of my favorites, tinctures and infused coffee. You can get high right in front of people with zero concern now, it's amazing.

Eh, as someone who worked in academia, I'm actually ok with rendering the 'DR' honorific to PhDs, only because even the most BS doctorate DOES take a lot of effort, time, and discipline to achieve. If I had a doctorate, I'd insist on it.
What bothers me is seeing countless mentions of "Mr Rand Paul" in places like the NYT. NO, it actually is DR Rand Pauil, M.D., Senator R-KY.
When some rag writes a hit piece about how 'wrong he is' about Covid, and cites several MDs who disagree, then refuse to list his title as an equally qualified medical doctor, that's bullshit.
I'd put someone who's survived covid, with decades of medical practice, degrees from top schools, and whom is a sitting Senator with access to information only he and 99 other people know quite high as an authority to opine on the matter.

Wait until you have a corrupt and politically motivated local sheriff's dept and you'll see truly fucked. Living it.
In the last several years I've seen some real crazy shit lol.
When you mix shady county police with those same officers running for political office, it's bad. Everyone is terrified to say anything because that cop candidate will see it and will put you on the retaliation list , win or lose.
This happened after the last election in 2020. One deputy's wife ran for county office, a former same dept deputy who is a State House Rep now refused to endorse her, she lost. Next thing you know, her husband, current detective, releases all the info he has collected in a personal investigation on that State Rep to the local St Louis newspapers, it becomes a national news story that he banged a drunk 19 year old in his police car back in the day.
Same dept tried to take out other local government employees via 'leaked' investigation documents as well. This is all been referred to the State AG, but best of luck as he's now running for US Senate so he'll need these same corrupt locals to Garner votes for him, including aforementioned State House Rep.

By the same token there really is no epidemic of protesting, looting, or rioting in the US when you look at the problem in the context of the size of the country. There's almost 350 MILLION of us. It's why polling irks me. You ask 1200 people what they think and that's supposed to mean anything?
If there were actual widespread protests, looting, and rioting, proportional to our actual population, there would be tens of millions of people doing it, not thousands or hundreds of thousands. If some issue really caught fire and had real broad support with everyday people, not activists and news junkies, it would be orders of magnitude larger than anything we've ever seen, and all the activists would probably be like "where did all these white people come from?!".
We've never really seen anything like that in this country. For example, go look at some video of East Germany in 1989, they had legit protests where something like 1/10th of the entire population of the country, almost 2 million people, demonstrated at Alexanderplatz in East Berlin. Can you imagine like 35 million Americans gathering in DC on the Mall for a protest? I have a feeling it would be heard, but it would have to be something REALLY, ACTUALLY motivating.

It's an Interesting observation perhaps worth study and maybe graphing/charting out: as people gain more to lose, the more government overheard control they seem to want, up to a point where one has so much to lose the government becomes their only competition, then they swing the other way and start wanting less government regulation. It's likely a bell curve distribution.
Left of the curve you want to be freeer because win or lose , it's probably worth any risks, you only have ground to gain. In the middle of the curve, you have a lot but you're still at risk of the people on the two ends, so f them, government come harass them for me...and at the right side, the super elites billionaire class, you want to be left alone entirely because you make your own rules. For all intents and purposes you are your own government, so down with other ones trying to restrain you.

Obviously, the overhead is higher.
Like I say though, I'm willing to pay 20% more if it means not getting pulled over, having a roach found, then I lose my job and almost get raped in jail, AS HAPPENED TO ME IN PAST DECADES.
It's like, these taxes and regulations suck, but they are cheaper and less sucky than legal fees, jail, experiencing the states monopoly on force, all that.
I'll happily pay a little more to sit in a waiting room with security and order my shit online, than risk all that meeting someone shady in a parking lot or their run down apartment...and outside all that, I get a certified, lab tested, unadulterated, strength tested product that's consistent.
I remember getting brick weed that smelled like actual diesel from being smuggled into the US submerged in diesel fuel.
No more of that. That weed isn't worth jail lol.

Ha, ridiculous. WALMART is the true Army, and they DWARF those three combined. Walmart could have gone into Afghanistan, defeated the Taliban, opened 500 new store locations, and been out in 24 months lol. There are entire college minors in transportation you can take that study the insane, unique logistics marvel Walmart has built. They even have their own space program that runs their global private satellite constellation, the largest private one in the world, that runs their own private intranet. They do all their own credit card processing, internet service, datacenter needs, TV network, and even phone service over their own private, isolated internet service they built from the ground up. It's all quite impressive.

TangoX To play devil's advocate, they're probably better than Latino(a)(x) immigrants with no skills or private wealth like we're getting now. And as far as our population, remember, the US is more than 40 MILLION people short of where we should be, thanks to 40+ years of unchecked ABORTION. We're missing an entire generation. This is why all of our systems based on continuous growth, like Social Security and pensions, are failing with extreme speed, an aging out population that killed half of the younger replacements we should have had. I'm a millennial, we're the largest generation in US history, over 70 million of us, but projected growth says it should have been more like 100 million. The US population today should be about 400 million, not 325-ish.
All those lost contributors, consumers, taxpayers, and potential human resources we terminated have sank our country. #demographiccliff

Trump needs to say "Look Nancy, NaeNae we'll call her that, look NaeNae I see your concern, so, next week I'm taking the jet to Maralago, I'm gonna open the small petty cash safe in my office, NOT the big safe, just the small one, and pull out about $3 million in cash and hire, say, 500 Blackwater-type guys at my expense to reinforce the Secret Service, at YOUR request.
There, does little NaeNae fweel I'm safey-wafey enough to come give my speech? Good, I'll see you then. Trump, out"

Exterior keyboxes for police and fire are mandatory in some cities. Yes, there is a big box outside apartment buildings, secured by a key the Fire/maybe PD have, that has a labled key for every door in the building, including yours. The idea being if there is an emergency, you don't need to wait for a landlord or manager, you open the box and have full access. AND you can get the keys that open the keybox.
There are TOOOOOONS of easy, giant vulnerabilities around, like all Police Crown Vics in the US, millions, used ONE STANDARD KEY, so any cop could use any car without needing different keys, and these were available to the public, and lots of cars got stolen. ALL RVs in the US use ONE SAME KEY for all the external storage doors, and you can buy these keys online by the dozen. Unless an RV owner has changed the locks, they ARE this single easy lock. Elevators, same brand uses same keys GLOBALLY for all elevators. You get a control panel key for one elevator, it'll probably work in all models of that brand, and you can get those keys easily.
I have all these keys I've mentioned on a ring, cost me like $50.

they do. If you can build thousands and thousands of explosive rockets, putting several thousand lbs together for an IED is easy, they probably do it all the time unintentionally just storing that OCEAN of explosives they have.
All my life the lack of imagination is staggering to me. they'd kill millions of Israelis if they could, of course they'd kill thousands of their own people if it helped.
I know because the US does it, and we're supposed to be BETTER, right? We sacrifice Americans willingly all the time to serve our goals. Look at covid. Sorry sick person, you need to stay outside the hospital and die, it's closed and locked down, empty, for potential covid patients. Thousands died.
At any rate, I HOPE the US did this, we should level a hospital every 30 minutes until they release our hostages. They're locked in there with US, we're not worried about them.

Here's the problem, the 'followers' gave the mayor correspondence IN WRITING with their info on it. At that point it is public record. As a Missourian I could file an online form right now and have a copy of all of that by law probably within hours. It's a crime under our open records laws not to provide it. It's called transparency.
I could publish all their names, no problem. Frankly, they're fucking idiots if they didn't know that and they doxxed themselves, unknowingly or otherwise. ANYTHING in writing you give any government official in MO is public, by law. I work for a small city running a water plant, and it's a crime for me to delete an email on a 'work' account, because 3 years from now, for example, any citizen could request some email I got about some bid for some project or job, and I fucking better have it or they can sic the State Attorney General on me.

I turn 36 in less than a week and I label myself an 'Eldely Millennial'.
As a mostly-conservative mostly-republican I don't really care if people are gay or whatever they want to be, but I also feel that OTHER PEOPLE'S BUSINESS IS THEIR BUSINESS. I was the 'Best Man' at my Uncle's marriage to his awesome husband lol.
I've said your orientation or whatever should be like your underwear, wear whatever crazy kind you want, or none at all, but it's disrespectful to have your underwear hanging out in public.
It's all about personal choice and personal rights, I feel. Do I approve of and support abortion? NO, but if you chose to have one, well that's your choice. I wish you'd choose differently, but it's not my place to make you behave how I want you to any more than it's their/your place to tell me what to do.
Something I've thought about recently as a Millennial is our gens lack of a positive defining event like pervious gens had: ww1 generation saved Europe from evil, Greatest Generation had the Great Depression and Ww2 with America saving the world from evil AGAIN, then Gen X had Vietnam and watching the first human in history, an American, walk on the moon...our defining moment, as it happened to me, was sitting in American History class your senior year of high school at age 18 and watching two of the tallest buildings on this continent collapse and kill thousands of your fellow citizens live on CNN. Unlike such events in previous gens, we have yet even nearly 2 decades later had any moment of triumph over that defining event. We've won no war, we've had no great victory, if anything it's all been downhill since 9/11.
It's surreal to have graduated high school in 2002 because we will forever be known, no matter what, the Class of 9/11/2001. I was a speaker at my graduation ceremony, elected to do so by my class, and in my 5 minute speech I made it a blatant point to say NOTHING about Sept 11th, not a word, not an allusion, not a reference, nothing, because by then what was there to say that everyone hadn't heard? I wanted my speech to be about us, our school year before and outside of that tragedy, and the future moving past it, and I got many compliments for that decision.

Have to think of the tariff situation like when bees kill attacking wasps. The wasp dies if it's body temperature exceeds 115 degrees F, but the bees can survive 118 degrees F, so they surround and gang up on the wasp and vibrate, raising their collective temperature to 117 degrees, cooking the wasp to death.
The US is the beehive, and we can heat things up pretty damn hot if we so choose to, and sure, I'll hurt, but we can survive it, while those against us cook and die, metaphorically.
Chemotherapy would be another good analogy: We can sicken ourselves to the point of near death and survive, but the cancer cannot tolerate it and dies. When you are stronger and more resilient than another, what would kill them will only weaken you, possibly severely, but not fatally.

It's like Joe Rogan was SO conf over "What is a token, what is a token!?".
A us dollar is a token, no different than Bitcoin or a FTX token. They're just tokens. They are solely worth what you believe they're worth.
All currencies, usd, dinar, gold, Bitcoin, are identical. They're worth what you believe they are.
If you have some incurable disease, and you can choose between the 10 grams of cure you need to live and be poor, or you could choose infinite wealth but die very quickly, you'll learn all about what you value.

Deadly force is possible at all times, everywhere. As a concealed carrier I know and accept that.
The weirdness would have been if the warrant said NO deadly force, NO guns, that would be crazy, and that would be FAVORITISM.
I don't get the surprise, these are feds, they show up at 1000x force no matter what. Three meth heads, you get the entire FBI HRT, snipers, drones, Bearcats driving through the wall, all of it.
It's a hammer and nail problem, they have all these hammers we paid billions for to fight a trillion dollar war (drugs), gotta find as many nails or problems that look like nails as possible.
