My father told me I shouldn’t use regular table salt because “they” were mixing powdered glass in so that it would work its way through your system and embed itself in your heart muscles.

He had called me after I got high though, so I gave him the best kid glove treatment I’ve ever managed.

Told him that was very interesting. Explained that he could easily prove and expose the conspiracy by pouring salt into a bucket of distilled water. The salt would dissolve, but the glass would sink to the bottom. He could then filter the glass out, then boil the water off to recover the salt safely. He hasn’t brought it up since.

My dad is a sweet guy and good at handyman stuff, but dear lord, almost nothing higher level. I truly think it’s the lead exposure.

I mean, I struggle not to think that about conservatives.

Just once, for GTAV.

They released just after midnight. There was a decent line as I recall, probably less than 50 people. People cracked jokes about the series, and quoted favorite dialogue. The first guy in line strode victoriously to his car, his copy held high, then burned rubber when he hit asphalt. Immediately a cop tore after him out of the darkness. The rest of us went “ooooooo”. Somebody said, “No that’s just one star. He can do this!”

Nah, it’s way easier to send a satellite to take a look.

It’s impossible to secretly launch enough payloads to build a moonbase in the first place. Every launch has to pass through low earth orbit and rockets are shiny. There are too many eyes on the sky to go unnoticed. Even then, there’d be radio chatter between the Earth and Moon, and satellite redirection from the far side. You can encrypt radio signals, but they can’t hide.

Yeah, viral zombies won’t last long in the southwest. I ought to be good with just shutters on the house.

Lots of food is gonna rot.

We perfected building a near peer military with Russia in mind. We build massive fleets of wildly expensive machines and great arsenals of similarly expensive ammunition. We made almost all of that shit overwhelmingly dependent on the supply chain of a flammable, nonrenewable, black fluid easily controllable by the nation we just attacked. One which has taken seriously the new lesson that such militaries are obsolete and top heavy. The way forward lies in small, cheap, autonomous suicide drones, cyber attacks, propaganda, and economic pressure. They’re one of the few countries to take that lesson to heart. We have recently decapitated the competence of nearly every powerful system of our nation; political and military, and pushed our economy to the brink. We are led by hyper-overconfident, insecure, malicious idiots supported only by a cult minority of our population.

Not quite perfect is right. The rest of the world should bind together to pressure us, hard.

More than I need anymore. None.

I used Windows 10 for a while. But now I’ve completely moved to various flavors of Linux. I’ll get GrapheneOS or something on a phone if possible later.

Only place I still have windows 11 is my work PC. Nearly all the main annoying crap is managed away by IT, and it’s still irritating as hell.

Definitely three times.

All night drum battle between them both.

Nope, child free. I didn’t get snipped for nothing.

Buy the cheap old beater down the road from me. Pay my truck down and sell it. The rest goes to the house.

Probably would’ve gone better if Russia hadn’t been the first to try it.

The only way Christianity makes any sense to me within the real world (aside from it being not real) is if Satan wrote the Bible pretending to be God, while denigrating the good guy as the rebellious angel Lucifer. If Satan had written the Bible instead of God, would you expect more genocide, slavery, torture, and rape, or less? So why is there any in the first place?

Look at 2000 years of Christian history. As soon as they could, they usurped political power in the most powerful nation in the area; Rome. Then began slaughtering and torturing anyone anywhere who thought different. They claimed divine rights and authority. They committed genocide in every single nation on the planet over nearly 2000 years. They perfected the dark arts of torture. They conquered earthly territory and plundered earthly wealth. They slaughtered so many that they built orphanages the world over where they could claim divine morality, but also rape children for centuries.

What did Lucifer do exactly? He told the first people that God was a lying dick and they should rebel against him, as he did.

Wouldn’t you?

Assuming humanity doesn’t get our shit together enough to explore and settle the galax-heeheehee. I’m sorry. I used to hope for that.

“Yeah well, my god is invisible!”

“Dude, you can’t look at ours or you’ll burn your eyes out.”

Charlie Kirk was a terrible human being. The world is better off without him. I don’t believe in Hell, but I hope I’m wrong.

While it’s traumatic to lose a parent, his kids have the opportunity to be better off without him.

The shooter is a terrible person. I’m glad he was so stupid that he confessed to his dad. It takes the spotlight off decent people. I don’t care what happens to him.

Political violence sucks. It’s a terrible way to enact change, mainly because the most violent are typically the most unhinged, and then they take power afterward.
