Greif and loss. The first year is the worst.

Might be time to focus on processing the loss of your previous hopes, dreams, relationships, and projects.

Sometimes the only way to win is not to play.

But also Johnson is stupid.

Thanks!

The site wants to share info with advertisers. I found this to be refreshingly honest.

Anyway, can we get an archive link?

There are evangelical thought leaders that preach the opposite. They say liberals are wrong about all of that.

And people believe up is down.

The USA was securing international trade lines. After WW2, they started doing it to counter communism and build friendships. (Cannot attack your trading partners.)

This was not entirely popular with Americans, see “Team America: World Police”.

Another country or coalition could step up. Just build a navy that rivals the USA one to secure shipping lanes.

Nation level retaliation would ensue. Maybe possible to do in some country matchups, but not possible in all.

I think, but cannot be certain, that is includes some energy cost.

It really is excellent.

I guess this is a good way to spread the techniques to others…

Will do, thank you.

Ah, thanks for some names of items!

Thank you. I have heard that the chemicals are nearly impossible to dose correctly in smaller volumes.

Elsewhere some have suggested aquarium filters…

Thanks. I will likely continue watering the plans.

The water in some USA cities does taste terrible. Some rural and city water is unsafe to drink. Grow up in one of those places, and one may hate it.

These things really fuck with nude sunbathing.

The companies care when it is company money being stolen.

As an aside, the overlaps between lawyers and tech is huge.

Strongly filter and limit the news you consumes. Do not spend hours watching or keeping up on it.

Do prepare yourself and your chosen community. Build relationships. Fix your life, body, finances. Get as ready as you can to catch yourself and those falling.

Do get into a group that tells you when local events are happening.

Do find joy.

Yes! Sadly, at least as near as I can figure, this is on purpose.

People with disposable income can organize businesses, demonstrations, and communities. They may threaten the status quo.

People that must work daily to not starve cannot organize anything. They may not even know their neighbours. They are exposed and vulnerable.

Remember how in the early 2000’s, it seemed we were on the cusp of a great turning point? More people, not nearly all people, had access to good paying jobs and disposable income? It seemed progress may finally start. Then 2008 wiped many people out. The new wealth was concentrated. (I am leaving a lot out.)

Anyway, there are not as many people that can organize as one may assume. There will not be until fewer people are financially vulnerable.

The “Apple” part. CEOs only care what companies say.

Small acts of kindness are all it takes to ease someone’s life.
