There are plenty of troops that just repair cars. Maybe those cars get used for murder, maybe they don’t. It’s a complex moral problem that is different for everyone at different levels.
By saying fuck the troops, you are falling into the trap the owners want. You are focusing on pawns rather than the kings they want to be.


Choice 1 be dirt poor or join the military
Choice 2 obey orders or get thrown in military jail


I suspect most adults have some coping mechanisms built up so its often harder to separate out the basic problems. Children offer a ‘cleaner’ study, so that is what they focus on.
I have to say my 6 year old has a lot of symptoms. I started giving her melatonin to help her sleep and a lot of the behavioral issues have gotten a lot better.
I’m not trying to say its a cure all, but I was surprised how well it helps her sleep, and how many (I thought) unrelated issues have improved.


I think its more likely an impact driver. They are much more common than hammer drills. Ironically more inappropriate for any drilling.
I am very impressed about your directness and take charge attitude. Your approach of bring others in to help you accomplish your goals really speaks of future CEO material to me.

Rampage was actually a good (if fucked up) movie.
Back when I had free time, I watched a lot of bad movies. Good bad (Tromeo and Juliet ) bad bad (BloodRayne). Just about everything of Boll’s falls into the second bucket, but Rampage is in neither. I don’t want to oversell this, but its an above average movie.


Here’s an interesting video discussing how you might not actually even need chicken to make chicken broth.
Garlic. Lots of garlic.

I’ve only dipped my toe in (sex and fury, prisoner scorpion). Its worth a watch.


The weirdest one Im playing with now is an ugly hack to connect a raspberry pi to a lapdock.
not just sometimes. This guy should be suited up. Hello mesothelioma


yeah. I try to give him some grace as a scifi writer with him seeing the sexual revolution in the 60s based on the release of the pill and trying to imagine where the trajectory will end in 50, 100 years when you separate sex from reproduction. Still his take was kinda creepy and gross.
I think the worst example of him trying to write women was “I Will Fear No Evil”. It is an interesting story as it attempts to reconcile sex and gender written from a cis man in the 1970s, but its pretty messed up. I appreciate that he seems to attempt to bring these ideas into mainstream consciousness, I just wonder if he could have done some more research.

Its been a LONG time for me, but doesn’t it get weird incestous and pedo at the end?


I have not seen that, I will have to check it out.
I thought stranger in a strange land would make a great miniseries. I loved that book as a teen. I read it as an adult some years ago and it didn’t hit the same way. Still, it could be adapted to an impactful story today. People would learn where grok came from and disassociate it with Musk’s racist piece of trash (pisses me off).


“Number of the Beast” is not one of his good ones.


I liked “I’m not ok with this”, also “teenage bounty hunters”
They pushed both even when they had already canceled them. Both were compelling enough to warrant more episodes. Nope.
I’m more bitter about “the peripheral” tho.
Also more protein in wheat compared to rice. Actually a lot more nutrients in wheat compared to rice.
