I’m no fan of Russia … I’m just stating my opinion because I don’t want to die in a nuclear holocaust because everyone didn’t want to see reason.

There’s only one country in modern history that has spread global influence and threats in every part of the world, imposed, threatened, created and caused violence everywhere for decades while imposing their financial, political and economic powers on everyone everywhere for all of modern history …

… and it isn’t the Russians.

It’s amazing to see how down voted a contrary opinion can be in this subject.

It’s a little easier to understand if you reversed the situation.

How would the US react if the Russians supported Mexico in joining a military pact against the US, so that the Russians could build military bases and install short range nuclear weapons in Mexico and point then at the US? What would the reaction be if Russian then spent billions of dollars financing the Mexicans from any kind of military aggression from the US?

You can’t threaten someone with a gun and not expect them to eventually shoot you.

It doesn’t matter how anyone feels about my opinion but the more we posture with violence, lies on all sides, anger and an unwillingness to step back and find sensible solutions … the closer we get to nuclear war and the end of civilization.

Day seven of a major winter storm power outage: … honey?, can you do your thing again because we need to cook supper

Says world leader who was undemocratically elected

The simple quiet of a warm summer afternoon. I’m watching one right now on a deck over looking a rocky yard and a small lake nearby.

I grew up poor and never knew it until I grew older. We had enough but never enough for luxuries. In the summer I’d have a breakfast of tea and toast and be gone all day. I would go home for a small lunch and that was all the food I had and I never cared.

On days like today, I would just go roaming around everywhere with my friends. Like Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn we’d just be outside doing nothing and everything all day long.

I’m in my 40s now, my bones ache, I tire easily and my friends are long gone either on their own path or gone from this life.

I miss those days and I miss my friends.

My wife always exclusively buys the cheapest coffee she can get.

I joke with her by telling her that this is the coffee that ten year children sweep off the floor of coffee warehouses

He should have enough time to recover for the 2028 presidential debate

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 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.

Five second rule applies here

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

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
