oh yeah, i know about that. i meant, he hasn’t given out any yet this term and would likely give one to this shit bag.

lol good point

i think he was awarded before he became a urinal. thank you, i had not realized people were doing that. very heartwarming.

oh, don’t worry, i won’t give him any new ideas. he already knows. i remember when he gave one to that piece of shit, rush limbaugh.

lol awesome idea! Of course, it sucks that that still wasn’t enough to prevent the mental gymnastics of the people wanting to continue to believe nonsense.

lol true

Also, he hasn’t given out any of those bullshit presidential medals yet, has he?

I’m sorry to hear about the health issues, but glad to hear that you and the wife have been getting out more! Yes, it does seem to get easier and easier to become a homebody lol. Good luck to both of you in finding some good connections with good people!

I’d be ok with musk and bezos each piloting one of their rockets into the sun with some of their most ardent followers. Trump could gorge himself on Big Macs and filet o’ fish.

I’m cool with him Jim jonesing himself then

Yeah, but these things actually have the things being talked about. Homeopathic products just have the “essence” of the things mentioned.

Sorry to hear about yours, but I am also one that has been through much adversity and abuse (and healing). Most of us that have been through it, and worked through it, can’t talk about it enough because we want to help others figure things out quicker.

I’m in the U.S. too, and a far left person in a far right state/county/town to boot. But, I’m at least close to a metro area that is much more diverse. I personally don’t even need much social interaction these days, I’m fine with myself, my wife, and our cats. However, she still needs people, so we do our best to find the other people like us. We realized we are more likely to be in libraries, independent coffee shops, book stores, and museums, rather than bars, sporting events, etc. So, we try to spend more time at places where we are more likely to meet people like us.

I’ve found people don’t like when we (even unintentionally) expose the cracks in their worldview. Some of us just want to know what it all means, why we are here, etc.

Most people really don’t want to know those answers, and it can be very triggering to them (which is always transparent to them when it is happening otherwise healing traumas would be easy lol)

Based on my 50 years in the world, I think more people have progressed to the level that we would need for a more utopian society. Unfortunately, there are still too many people that want to go the other way. I still maintain hope though.

Are we sure it’s not a downward spiral?

They did the same thing to the Global 200 defense contractor that I worked for as well. The level of access they have to so many organizations’ data is scary.

She speaks reality. People in control deal with very controlled messaging. They don’t like people they can’t control.

With the way enshittification has been driving down the quality of all of the goods we buy for years now, we would be naive to think that the same compromises aren’t being made with building materials. From now on, I won’t be going into any skyscrapers that weren’t built at least 5 years ago lol

They are also providing Meta with free age progression training material when they upload those pictures of their kids each year on the first day of school
