And...no one (people I know) believes me when I tell them who the homeless are. Every one just holds onto the concept that they are just mentally-ill people who need to be in an institution. When I explain that any person's mental health decreases the longer they live without a home, a job, and a family for support. Homeless people end up turning to drugs because they can't stand the fact that their ability has decreased so much that a drug-induced hallucination is better than reality.

This is not ending with a Biden win. If Trump loses there are others waiting to take up the mantle. People that will look better (not physically) on paper so to speak. They will appeal to the more Traditional conservative, the mainstream.

A Trump loss will force MAGA back, after a bit of grumbling and violence, then they will become quiet. Not all of them. But the next fight will be 2026, 2028, 2030, etc. Though my belief thinks a better than Trump candidate will definitely be 2028 the next presidential election.

This Insurrection isn't over for them...just like the Civil War never ended for them. They have patience.

We must remain vigilant and push for more equality for all.

Regardless of what the median life expectantly is, I don't care I'm living to 100 years old. Barring accident of course. But I'm just too curious what the next 45+ years will be in the world. What are the new discoveries? New shows? What happens to the political situation? Will we become a space faring race? Or will we have to solve the climate crisis first, and stop warring?

I want to know. So I'm working to make that a reality.

I shocked that such a good Christian would allow his children to play Pokemon. I was told by a pastor a few years back that Pokemon was evil, Satan's cards, etc., and that no good Christian family would allow their children to play it.

I guess he's a good political chameleon ! I mean he changed his stance on Trump.

Not that I condone any of this, but consider that the cultural disgust of marrying a girl under the age of 18 is a more recent and modern taboo. Back then, in rural United States, it wasn't an issue at all. Heck as a Gen X kid whose parents were from the Silent Generation, my mother married her first husband when she was 16 and he was 22. She never thought it was an issue other than she regretted marrying anyone at the age. But her parents, church, and teachers didn't think it was a problem.

It's hard to believe because most people might say Elvis lived in modern society but he's not. The 20th century was full of changes that we don't really think about.

I toked more of that last night - I'm still alive.

So, we can do what a bunch of aliens did to O'Brien when they tried, convicted and incarcerated him for 20 years and it was 20 minutes in real time.

Definitely listen to the audible book The Hum and the Shiver it has fairies in the Appalachian mountains and definitely has red-neck voiced fairies.

Where have they been? Trump has never focused on actual policy. Now they want him to do something that he's never before been able to do? Weird.

Please AppleSoft BASIC was doing bytecode before Java was a gleam in a programmers eye.

It was only relevant when the corps didn't have it.

Newsblur is definitely my go-to. I love that I can train it to filter out toxic topics for me. It's not 100% as sometimes the topic is just a repeat of the title.

But 90% of the time I can and it does.
