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.

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

For those suffering from kidney stones

Tap root finds your motionless foot at your computer desk as you endlessly and mindlessly scroll through the internet.

Potato: this will do

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

After 40 it no longer really matters. Old people or people your age don’t like talking about our age because it reminds us that we’re at the back end of life. And young people just automatically look at us like we’re old … because we are!

Whenever someone asks me now, I just tell them I don’t know. And if they insist, I give them a number anywhere from 45 to 49. And once I reach 50, I’ll just tell people I’m old and not to bother me about it.

Reddit feels like a corporate advertising driven hellscape where fear and rage is encouraged.

Lemmy feels like 2010 when the internet world was a lot more simpler and you could actually talk to people.

Capitalism = runaway immoral human greed

Happy American? … That combination of words is starting to sound more and more like an oxymoron every year

God: … flipping through a giant filing cabinet full of requests … meh!

Or I just watch the YouTube channel ‘Primitive Technology’ … of some young guy that goes into a jungle with nothing and starts building things with his bare hands.

I know it’s a set up situation and made for entertainment but I’m indigenous Canadian and my dad was a hunter trapper who was born in the wilderness in northern Ontario. In his prime in his 20s, I have lots of relatives who told me that dad would leave the community with a little pack, a knife and an axe in the autumn and come back after Christmas with a supply of furs to sell. Then head off and come back two or three times in the winter to deliver more furs. Then come back in the spring to live in town before going out again in the fall.

The body spins inside it’s compartment when democracy works and slows down to a crawl as government approaches fascism and finally stops to a comfortable sleeping position when dictatorial fascism is achieved.

Democratically minded leaders are considering using the spinning corpse and attaching it to a generator as a possible source of free electricity.

For 90% of the public that is not attached to a major business, corporation or institution … Libreoffice is more than enough.

And even for small offices and small groups or companies, LibreOffice is more than enough.

The only difference comes when you have to set up a mass system with hundreds or thousands or systems and people to interconnect an office system do the big companies opt for Microsoft office.

Forest fire fighters … the method of purposely burning a section of forest in front of a moving forest fire to starve or stop the fire from otherwise spreading uncontrollably.

But what I’ve seen come out of Texas, they would legitimately try to point their flame throwers directly at a fire to try to kill it with fire.

They should recruit and assemble a flame thrower unit to fight the fire with fire.
