A friend of mine just sent me a Facebook link that says that decomposed candidate #2 was caught taking bribes from corporations … and that they’re a communist.

Chief Multi Vitamin of the Wala Wala Nation

… on side note, the old guy actually looks like a native elder I knew years ago from Six Nations in southern Ontario

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 NOT 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’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.

Gather up as much plastic garbage as you can and burn it all in your backyard … get your neighbour to join in and have a neighbourhood bonfire … plastic only! … tires work great too because they last longer and burn stronger.

In ten years, we’ll all be looking back at how great it was in 2024

This isn’t an Israeli or American problem anymore.

It’s a world problem.

We’re all complicit in allowing one country to destroy another.

We’re all complicit in allowing a genocide to occur.

When the Jewish holocaust occurred, the world said never again. It will never cease to amaze me that the latest genocide is being perpetuated by the same people who keep reminding the world of how terrible it is for one group of people to dehumanize, disregard, dismiss and destroy another people.

The best part is that this is just run of the mill environmental imbalances for the planet. It’s faced far worse scenarios than this. Even if we caused nuclear holocaust, the planet has seen similar natural events in the past.

Even if the ocean dies right now, it’s happened before and after a few million years it all came back.

So in the scale of millions of years … the planet is just suffering from a flu.

It’s us that will be destroyed and eliminated in the process.

From the planet’s perspective, we aren’t a civilization, we’re a temporary infection.

Just stuff the whole thing in a blender, mix for 30 seconds and drink it.

It’s called a plutocracy … a system built on power and those who hold power.

Whatever it is … it isn’t a democracy.

In that same vein of logic … they should name the Highway Construction Worker as our Provincial Animal at this point.

If only we could come up with a new more modern way of transporting heavy goods … like mass transports … using only one giant powerful engine … with trailers of goods all tied together by the dozens … on a sturdy road … maybe made of iron … we could build these roads specifically just for these massive transports, separate from the public to keep people safe and save our roads from damage.

Whoops … wrong thread (I am rewording my original response to this)

Trucks gained all importance because it meant it all consumed more oil and gas instead of saving energy by having trains. Why would corporations spend tens of thousands on fuel for a train pulling tons of material across the country when they could spend billions and billions of endless fuel on millions of transport trucks destroying roads made of oil and asphalt that have to be repaired on an annual basis?

I would join the same protest… but then later that week I’d join the next protest demanding they fix the road I just asked them not to work on.

It’s frustrating in northern Ontario because the combination of cold winters and lots and lots of heavy transport trucks every day means that our roads are no good after about four years.

Which means we only have two highway seasons …

Winter Season and Construction Season

It arrives with one critical screw missing making the whole thing unusable.

Puts ear up to avocado pit … all I hear is coca cola, french fries and cheese burgers coagulating and shit

Got it … I didn’t know instances could censor out certain words … it makes sense though

I try to be careful with my posts and commenting to try to stay in line with rules and decorum but I find myself often tripping over my own tongue either with the words I misuse or the ideas I spit out without thinking

The ‘R’ word here is a bit of a stretch as the word can be used in ways that have nothing to do with personal insults or degradation … but I do understand why it needs to be controlled because it’s been used so abusively on the internet

It’s another item I will have to be careful about so thanks for the heads up.

No … I’m just retarded.

I guess I need to get that plate for myself then :(

This is what happens when you comment without reviewing.

If you’re wondering, I should have corrected it to say

My old neighbor a long time ago rode a motorcycle with a plate in the back that said …

Retired, not Retarded

I’ll leave the stupidity in place because I think it’s funny

That pit has about the same density and firmness as an avocado pit.
