JONATHAN LIVINGSTON SEAGULL!!!

I usually hold onto the box of anything I buy brand new for about three months. After that you can get rid of it.

Electronics either work or they don’t, there is seldom anything in between.

If your device doesn’t fail or develop problems within a month or two, then it will last the warranty period and much longer if you take care of it.

I just hang onto the box for two or three months just to be sure.

The only other reason to hang onto the box is if you plan on reselling the device in a year or two. It’s a lot easier to resell for top dollar or a higher price if your device is clean, undamaged, has original manuals and the original box.

They have to pour a steady stream of gold coins to the top of a billionaires penthouse to try to fill it enough so that a few coins can fall out and land on the street below

Trickle down economics … give more money to the ultra rich and eventually some money goes down to the people at the bottom of the economic system

The problem they’ve discovered after 50 years of this system is that there just isn’t enough money in the universe to send to the top and allow enough of it to flow down to the bottom.

A billion dollars only allows a dollar to get to a person living on the street … so we have to send billions, trillions, gajillions of dollars to the super-ultra-giga rich to get enough money to average people.

This is the problem of trickle down economics … we just haven’t given enough money to the top yet

We have to give the rich more! … in order to save the poor … do it for the poor!

You need to threaten people with guns and machine guns

The crazy part is at this point in American history, you’d have a high chance of getting away with it all.

Eats 10,000 bread … gets Level 14 diabetes

Get a dozen guys to dress up like them and go stand around with them. When things start happening, just run around and make accusations and cause general mayhem.

How can you impersonate someone who has no markings, and no ID?

Nope … that’s pubic hair … those people are standing on a different section of the body than what you were thinking.

The wig is operating the human machine it sits on

AI is very useful and powerful as a propaganda device and a system to generate and disseminate disinformation, misinformation and non-information very quickly and very efficiently.

It was thought that the internet would do the same but that system only goes at the speed of humans and the whole system is regulated by humans … so as propaganda tool, it has worked better but not as well as predicted. Humans saw the the potential for abuse and fought back against it.

AI is like propaganda on cocaine … and there is very little to stop it other than our awareness of it … but the majority of everyone in the world don’t care to understand what they are watching is real or not. What that means is that AI is set to reshape how everyone thinks and how we all see the world.

Investors are like parasitic leeches to any business model. As soon as you add them, the business has to grow in order to satisfy the leeches who provide no benefit to the model other than to be attached to it. If you ignore the leech, they’ll drain all your lifeforce, so your only option is to satisfy them and feed them. Unfortunately, they are also ravenous creatures who are never satisfied. If you feed them a little, they’ll want more next time in an endless cycle.

Once you are infected by investors … eventually they will destroy whatever you created.

In that case, someone should come out with a quality phone and just slap Trump logos all over the damned thing and charge $2,000 for a $500 phone. Run the business until someone tells you to stop.

Sell Trump crap … it’s all crap anyway … make money on it if people are dumb enough to pay for this shit.

Or you can spray paint your old iPhone with gold coloring, slap a Trump logo on it and sell it on ebay to some unsuspecting MAGA fan for $2,000.

It’s not hard to copy Trump’s signature … you could throw that on the phone and charge $5,000 and tell everyone that you bought it at a MAGA rally where Trump signed it in 2024.

If they can grift … we can all grift harder

Yes they do … it’s called Pornhub

Turns out that aliens had it easy from the very start … whenever they needed info or intel on human beings, human lives, even human samples … all they had to do was to entice them with sex or kinks or some sort of weird fetish or something

All the aliens had to do was do a couple of anal probs, and that would automatically give them access to several hundred or thousands of humans that automatically became interested in this specific fetish and would just come looking for the aliens without even having to be asked or coerced.

Burner phone … leave your main one at home … ABSOLUTELY DO NOT BRING YOUR MAIN PHONE

Set up your burner phone with one or two accounts to things you might want to upload to … encrypt as much as you can. Do not load all your social accounts … only log into the bare minimum. If you are organized, log into temporary or fake or secondary accounts if you can.

Start the day without any prior history, photos or content on the phone and keep as few contacts as you can … memorize numbers that are important to you.

Always be prepared to give up or lose your phone.

And as always … SAFETY GLASSES … bring a pair of industry rated CSA approved safety glasses (try to get a pair with a tint so you can pass them as sunglasses). Look for safety glasses with anything marked ANSI Z87+, sometimes written Z87.1+ (note the plus) rated or CSA Z94.3 rated are ensured to safely withstand a direct high energy strike.

… additional things if you want to do more

Bring a small new blank paper note book you can keep in a pocket with a small pen or pencil … you might be taking notes like license plates, name tags or names of people or places … its always faster to just write something down than in taking a shaky photo or tapping away a note on an app

Wear a big scarf … for guys or girls … a scarf comes in handy for all kinds of emergencies including using it as something to cover your mouth, dress a wound, tie something or cover something up.

Wear a good pair of running shoes … be prepared to run and be on your feet all day.

Bring a small backpack and bring a couple bottles of water and some energy bars … keep it light because you’ll be on your feet all day and if things go bad, you might be targeted if you have a large pack … plus an empty pack can be used to carry things later if you need to.

Dress for the weather … if its going to be hot, wear light clothing but if things go bad and you have to stay out over night or longer, bring a light jacket … if rain is forecast within a day or two, bring a small poncho

As an Indigenous Canadian, I’ve always been aware of where I stand in society … and no matter what anyone says or likes to believe … I’m not that high up on the totem pole (no pun intended)

That’s what pisses me off … and all for what? So that we, the majority of people everywhere can enjoy a little of security and a livelihood where we don’t have to worry about losing our home and ability to eat and clothe ourselves? And what are they protecting? Their obscene amounts of wealth that no individual person could enjoy in a lifetime!

That story of 20 year old Gustavo Gatica in 2019 is what got me a few years ago.

Every time I see a protest anywhere in the world and I see police and security dressed up for war against teenagers and young people with nothing but a scarf and no eye protection just gets me so anxious and upset.

Young people … everyone … should be allowed to protest what is not good for them and to fight for democratic rights. I support any young person fighting for what is right and equitable for everyone and I wish with all my heart that they stay safe and secure while doing so.
