Fodder, meat grinder, fungible goods. How will we prevent additional meat for the grinder? Status quo. Full speed ahead. Population control.

Royal family fetish. Lionize. Ruminate. Speculate. Peak in the windows to satisfy the voyueristic impulse. Royal family! Lets look at its history in brief. Primogeniture-sexism,…[Read more]

There is a lot of shit on the net suggesting Dore is a right winger. But whatever. Isn’t it an argument from authority anyhow? Don’t we want to make our own assessment? But how in the fuck do we ascertain facts that have to be the basis of our opinion? My impression is that the Yale historian (something Snyder) that Harris interviewed is well…[Read more]

Enco, the problem is not necessarily with the programming. It would in my hypothetical be by the best logicians, philosophers, statesmen. The problem is it is utterly unrealistic. Never gonna happen. Bertrand Russell was hopeful that a world gov. would emerge. And he was not alone in that hope. But aine nevah gonna happen.

I wrote run by A. I.…[Read more]

Would you prefer a world government run by A. I. and programmed to effectuate universal human rights? Programmed to prevent war? Programmed to protect the marginilized and in-need yet continue free markets that reward hard work and initiative? Programmed to enhance the development and distribution of health care made universal and lacking in a…[Read more]

What this war boils down to is-shit, piss, corruption, snots, 21 assholes tied in a knot.

Autumn, typically i might respond with a poem in kind. But that was nice. It stands alone.

Welcome Enco.

Don’t forget about heart and lungs. Ya don’t have to be ardent to improve your life-just consistent. Just walk. Listen to a podcast. Bird watch. Zone out. Do it now. Do it later. Do it often.

Nanaimo bars are available over the interwebz. Also Costco, Whole Foods carry/carried them. Don’t you go exhausting the nanaimo bars of all…[Read more]

Some directed thoughts-

I used to use a gadget to monitor heart rate. It is so cool to go up a mountain and watch your heart rate climb. I am sure what Autumn does is super strenuous and causes a very rapid increase in heart rate. Also kinda cool to have the estimated calories burned readout. Then as you get fitter you can maintain longer and…[Read more]

Yeah motivation is a funny thing. I liken the by-now pervasive motivation to exercise for heatlh to the pervasive motivation to eat well and avoid being too overweight.

When i was a gym-rat i hated post new years cuz the gym would fill up and it was a greater hastle navigating and using favorite machines. But every year in due course most of the…[Read more]

Enco, ya don’t have to do anything super strenuous if that is not your thing. Just walking. Walk out the door. Start 30 minutes. Get to an hour. Whatever. Study after study demonstrates lower mortality for walkers. Reduced risk of diseases. It is good for the brain. Makes ya feel better too.

There is also a lot of research that supports the…[Read more]

Kind words Davis.

It is evident from a few years of reading your posts that you are a kind and thoughtful person. Good advice given in your holiday message. If i may add one thing it is for those able-bodied who are inactive to add exercise to the mix-make it part of your life.

It is good to express appreciation to others. I just hate it when…[Read more]

Carlin would have some fun with that.

No balls to the wall? Fuck that shit.

Where is the People of color as a harmful handle?
jakelafort replied to the topic Ukraine has already lost the war in the forum Politics 3 years, 10 months ago

@humanity-Don’t worry. We continue to treat each war symptomatically. Don’t worry we’ll just keep coloring the others as bad guys. Don’t worry when this war ends new wars will erupt. Don’t worry. Be happy.

Don’t worry. The march of folly will be undisturbed. A change in path is anath emaaaaa…

Enco, first it was VERY FUCKING WHITE and now Chain.

You said chain. Chain is racist!

Enco, VFW?

Yeah i know the secret code. Ya aint gonna hide behind that acronym. VERY FUCKING WHITE!
That is racist!
jakelafort replied to the topic Ukraine has already lost the war in the forum Politics 3 years, 10 months ago

Belle i sometimes begin a hike at a VFW. Those vets are kind enough to allow me to walk across their property except on sundays when they hold a turkey shoot. And that one restriction is both for the safety of passersby and their liability. I sometimes stare for a few minutes from the bridge over the Scantic River. On several occasions i espied…[Read more]

Belle Rose writes: I think the United States has just decided that they are going to profit from this war until Putin sizzles out… I think Ukrainians will hold strong and their drive to win is WAY stronger than the Russian soldiers who have started to realize they’ve been sent out for open season for Putin’s personal man tantrums

Oh my god Belle…[Read more]

Sam’s guest dispels the notion Putin acted in response to perceived threat from NATO. Also credits Putin with a fantasy that is the actual fillip to invade Ukraine. Now where are the experts who are brainstorming how to end dictatorship? Dick tator tots ship of fools.

Unseen’s query: Why is that??

Cuz it is inconsistent with the good/guy bad/buy paradigm.

Cuz it is inconsistent with the narrative of the pro-Ukranians. Ya ever read/hear anti-Israel folks point out Palestinian terrorism or crimes? That is just how we are once having taken a side most everything is one-sided. It is like the internet-fueled…[Read more]
