Thou shall not masterbate … because watching people do it is my kink, and I’ve been trying to deal with it for the past 10,000 years

Entire countries do the same with national debts

Any change no matter if is too late or too inconvenient would be a better change for the DNC than to allow Biden at the top position. Seriously, any other DNC politician would be better than Biden even if they changed right now or in the next few months. All you need is some politician who is about 50 years old to fight Trump every day until the election and the orange menace would suffer a heart attack trying to keep up.

This is insane … it’s almost as if the powers that be want Trump to win and the only way they can ensure that is to put him up against an 80 year old competitor because it is the only candidate he could possibly beat.

Meanwhile, they have an orange beanbag presidential hopeful spilling the beans to the whoever around the world and he gets millions of dollars of support, literal legal immunity from anything and 1/3 of the country want him to become their Cheeto leader in Mountain Dew.

As an indigenous person who grew up without running water or modern plumbing for the first ten years of my life in Canada … I always appreciated this quote …

Will Durant Quote: “From barbarism to civilization requires a century; from civilization to barbarism needs but a day.”

Personality, presence and confidence

Natural self confidence, but an arrogant selfish confidence.

Some people naturally have confidence and presence and some people need to build it as a skill.

I know guys and gals with little to no knowledge or skill build up careers because they just knew how to talk and connect to people.

I also know guys and gals with years of education and degrees but have little to no way of politely or easily getting along with people.

I’m Indigenous Ojibway/Cree from northern Northern Ontario and I speak my language. The word we use to describe white people or Europeans is ‘Mistikoshoo’.

It’s a two part word … Mishtik is the word for ‘wood’ … or ‘stick’

adding the ending ‘ooshoo’ to the word changes it refer to or describe a person.

So in all … the word just translates to ‘man with a stick’

When we made first contact with Europeans, they were all so preoccupied with their religion that they just looked like people wandering around with a stick in their hands and around their necks which was very, very important to them.

Then they taught us this strange religion and all its rules and regulations that everyone glorified but no one seemed to follow. When you look at the Middle Eastern religious traditions and what they preach and teach and what kind of culture they have evolved into, you begin to realize that religion is just another tool to control and manipulate people.

I always enjoyed reading about the history of European colonization … especially by the Spanish

Before he was burned, a priest asked Hatuey if he would accept Jesus and go to heaven. Las Casas recalled the reaction of the chief:
[Hatuey], thinking a little, asked the religious man if Spaniards went to heaven. The religious man answered yes… The chief then said without further thought that he did not want to go there but to hell so as not to be where they were and where he would not see such cruel people.

Reminds of The Office

I’ve been involved in a number of cults both as a leader and a follower. You have more fun as a follower but you make more money as a leader.

Creed Bratton

… and I love the fact that with Creed Bratton quotes … they could be made up fiction or based on actual real life experience.

The only difference between religion and a cult … is time

They’ve been doing that for six thousand years

The nightmare isn’t Trump … the nightmare are the Americans who support and enable this crap.

Once they’re done with the Cheeto Mussolini the same culture of people will move on to the next wannabe fascist.

Oh, … good … since one of the commandments say you should not kill … then we can get rid of everyone’s guns then.

Isn’t that what those supporters are there for? … to be scammed

Isn’t this the origin of the modern name ‘bear’ … which comes from an older word for the colour ‘brown’ … because ancient people in Europe were so fearful of this beast that they didn’t want to call it by its name and instead refer to it as the ‘brown one’ … or just the ‘brown’

and on the seventh day God rested … but made a McDonald’s before he sat down

Imma beat you with my giant ass key!

Imma beat you with my kung fu!!

Damn it Marty! … I told you we should have used that two for one ink special last spring! … now we’re going to have to delay the reformation until the 1600s!

Very tasty and when cooked properly at the right time of year are more like a roast beef than poultry.

I’ve had it roasted whole over a fire, roasted like a turkey in the oven, boiled in stew, pan fried, split roasted over a fire, smoked, seasoned and preserved in salt, pork fat and goose fat. I grew up eating it with rice, potatoes, carrots and dumplings. I could drink the gravy like an energy drink. I used to sit with my mom every spring to roast dozens of gizzards and hearts while I helped her pluck, gut, prepare the birds for smoking and eating.

In the wilderness I’m not afraid of geese because i see them as food. In the city I’m afraid of geese because if I killed one to eat, I’d be arrested for some kind of law and sent to be evaluated for a mental disorder.

I’ve been on Linux for about 15 years now … I’m no pro and I’ve never really advanced in anything with the terminal

I tried doing stuff years ago but then I came at a crossroad … either spend my life learning the dark arts of the terminal and all the details of how every major system works … reinstall every time I have a new problem that I caused … or just leave everything alone and never tweak or adjust anything.

For the past few years, I just install the latest stable version of anything I use and never bother touching or tweaking anything … never had a problem since.
