I'm flattered. Thank you.
I told my wife if we ever decided on kids (which we won't) I want to name the kid after my hero. She asked "who's that?".
"Mega man"
"What if it's a girl?"
"We can call her Meg"
"Middle name?”
"No middle name. MegaBlake, that's it."
I'm wearing a mega man belt she bought me right now actually.🤓
I'm waiting for an "Ohio" moment like CSN&Y sang, it's coming. That shit happened to boomers, who have now become the oppressor, continuing the cycle of needless pain, loss and suffering. That's the kind of shit that keeps the aliens from showing their face. I would've want to be known about around that kind of normalized psychopathy either.
History doesn't repeat but it rhymes. Cops today are too indoctrinated that they are at war with the citizenry - of which they clearly hold themselves above. They're gonna spill students blood. Students who are protesting supplying Israel with weapons for what's become an unjustifiable offensive war. Hell half of these cops fetishize throwing the Zionists back in the old ovens but they just can't pass up any chance to spill 18yr old girls blood for having an opinion. And at this point the girl is the only moral one in the group. I don't think I'd even stand in the way of the cops if they were going for the Zionists.
Fascists all around. Kleptocracy staring down the barrel of loaded gun.
Above all, we need to collectively realize that the story of our lives in our head is a fiction. Every second we are alive we are deciding what kind of world this is, with our actions. There is no one coming to save us. You are the adult in the room. If you see a wrong, justice demands you act. All of us. Together that adds up to community, a zeitgeist of home.
I have a metaphysical theory that we all unconsciously carry the weight of our ancestors with us, and some part of our subconscious, or our reflexive self (the part of you that blinks the millisecond before something hits your eye), or maybe our supra conscious/soul/spirit, (the part of us not bound to time/Morty playing Roy) is constantly tabulating a score and multiples of maladies manifest from this ennui.
If you're bored, you aren't trying hard enough. If you're depressed, you need to insert yourself in the solution, whatever you see that as. Your depression will magically resolve itself. No ones depressed in a war zone. Science has quantifiably proven that.
It's better to die on your feet, in defense of the truth, and as an agent of justice than live on your knees having sold the essence of your soul, sacrificing dynamism for mediocrity. 5 years that run the gamut of highs and lows or 50 years of office work. It's not even optional to me, it's just fact.
Every single comment here is describing symptoms but not the cause.
Enshitification is the evolution to the final form, only possible after the company, thru merger/acquisition or stock manipulation (leveraged buy outs, acquiring controlling stake, shorting a company into insolvency, etc), has achieved a commanding monopoly.
Then it flexes it's monopoly powers, the buttons fly off its shirt and the monster shows it's true colors.
We have laws to prevent this. Lina Khan is the first FTC chair to start holding these companies to meaningful account in my lifetime (yea, Microsoft/netscape is exponentially smaller than todays issues). Meta, Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon all need to be broken up into a thousand different companies, same as we did with AT&T. Uber, Angieslist, homeaglow, all the contractors pretending they're just networking hubs (like some union hall) need to busted up and gigwork made to contend with employment law, which it can't, because it's all bad faith exploitation.
And for fucks sake we need to make the fine for white collar crime that extends state lines to necessitate the forfeiture of the entire C-suite's and board of directors assets, both domestically and internationally, upon threat of seal team 6. Empty their bank accounts and leave them with nothing, like they regularly do to employees. They're so fucking smart they can earn it all again, right? Right!? Corporations are the largest thief in the land, just in WAGE THEFT. Everything else they do that's slimy is all BONUS. The 2nd largest thief in all the land? the fucking Police force. The lunatics have taken over the asylum, democracy doesn't work in mental institutions. We don't need to defund the police, we need to fire all of them and start over with transparency. If casino employees can be video taped all day, so can cops. Fuck em.
What America truly needs is another Teddy Roosevelt. We need to revive the Progressive party with the Bull Moose as the symbol. Protect the environment, protect the family by protecting the workers, end legal loopholes and trustbust the 1% back down into the 10%.
And if we don't? The path ahead is obvious, I for one, don't want to live in Blade Runner, but that's where we're going until we stop fucking around and right ship.
In a swanky neighborhood they say? Fantastic. Word must've gotten thru to them and now the horses have teamed up with the Orcas to eat the rich.
My suggestion; Don't be left behind, people.
Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison -Henry David Thoreau
Imagine a world that would expect Ukraine, who had war declared against it, to only fight defensively on its own soil. The fucking fuk?
Idgaf if Ukraine MOABs the Kremlin or uses Magic to make everyone forget the Tetris theme song, Russia can end the war today by turning their asses around and going home.
I'd slap a reporter asking me such a stupid question. That's like saying to a girl with 2 black eyes, "ah, so ya didn't listen did ya?". How do the reporter speak with Putins cock so far down their throat?
I love the spam shit, let's me know I'm on the good content.
Anyways
Even back in the Kyoto days every nations military has been considered exempt. Conservative estimates I've read are that a nations military can be estimated at a one to one with the civilian sector on pollution, or in America's case, the roughly ~1million soldiers pollute as much as the 350million civilians.
Kyoto's projections were based solely off civilian output, effectively always reporting on and only tracking half the global pollution.
It was sandbagged from the start. Boomers never had any intention of actually working on the issue, it's all just more of the media shell game, like plastic recycling.
Evil. Plain and simple. Such short sightedness, greed and condescention. If sacrificing liability of the environment for future generations, all for fleeting material gain in the present, doesn't meet the threshold for evil then evil just doesn't exist.
Dude, I just ate. Don't make me ..🤢

It FLABBERGASTS me that people get on internet forums knowing anyone could be from anywhere and have ulterior motives and not run everything thru the very basic filter of "qui bono", which is latin for Who benefits? The double tap is "Follow the money."
If the opinions put across lead to a conclusion that politically oppositional countries would find beneficial...guess what...you're talking to someone on their payroll. Or worse, you're talking to useful idiot doing the job for free.
I've called out hundreds of shills over the past few years. Hundreds. The only rational way to look at opinions online is askance.
There's a new word for you, it's personally my favorite, so remember it, use it, love it, spread it, and apply it to the internet. And tell others to do so as well.
That's what I do being off-grid. I have my battery bank then a series of Supercaps to essentially act as an on/off ramp//drawbridge and temper quick demands. Kinda like an inverse soft starter so this is suuuuper interesting to me.
