but is likely to be extinguished in short order, not via the useless UN, and won't be anything like other conflagrations. But there will be skirmishes a plenty. One likely place is little Denmark, home of the awesome/effective Royal Marines. Sadly, not a home for much security, given the karma from Indonesia, not defending as blue helmets on the dark continent more recently, and so terminably liberall that stupidly uncontrolled imigration now has the place in it deep---way deep, and Danes know it. The right there is just getting its feet wet. BTW, real Maenner allow responses. Liberals and others should take the heat of response, after all, we can all learn something. I get hit over the head regularly here. CS bloggers are frank and helpful in this way. Best wishes, Jar Head, and all. Aa.

...Yet one more accomplishment of our Dazzling, Brilliant, Ivy league graduate President Trump. And not a small one either. And one more campaign promise completed. So he ditches poorly crafted NAFTA, with all the usual democrat warnings of complete North American economic collapse. Plays hard and rough with the Mexicans and Canadians, and they go along. Dems claiming it all only happened because they played ball as well. Now, isn't THAT special? So let's see, we could use the Micman or Willy's awesome help to list all the important promises kept. Get's a bit tough for me to keep track of such high numbers.

...sage job advice for youth. Seek out jobs that put emphasis on ability to work in different and unpredictable situations, that maximise human interactive interpersonal qualities, such as humor, social/emotional intelligence and multisituational creativity. Avoid repetitive sorts of work without these features. Become a Cyberhacker.
I was reading a bunch of comments for and against the recent Supreme Court decision to overturn a law that's been around nearly 50 years and of the comments, one asked 'what's next?' What other laws do they want to overturn?
Several were aimed at Clarence Thomas, where one reader stated: "He’s been quiet for 30 years, now he’s become unleashed, like the Frankenstein monster, and wants to legislate from the bench. Character always reveals itself, eventually." (20 likes, 0 dislikes)
There's more: "Wonder why Uncle Clarence is not revisiting the Loving case ?
Loving v. Virginia a Supreme Court case that struck down state laws banning interracial marriage in the United States." (29 likes, 6 dislikes)
Another similar comment: "I wonder when Thomas will suggest overturning Loving vs. Virginia? Now that will be ironic!!" (14 likes, 3 dislikes)
It looks like Clarence isn't very popular this week.

We should all rejoice at each example of many CS folks. Their struggles, and willingness to put these out for us, either directly, or by allegory. Sometimes, with the emphasis on GORY. The pluck to keep trying,---even leaving for a bit, in time to reenter into the fray. Apparent levels of honesty are welcome, whether an essential birthright part of one's esssence, or a sign of progress in that general direction. The same with kindness, as with present company. I just read a post from a lady who has been open with us about her many attempts/setbacks in finding aggreeable gainful employment. Now she appears to be in the driver's seat, pun intended, and who among us isn't really happy for her. CS could put a place for folks to comment on more than successses in finding partners. In fact, I suspect that the latter might just be contingent on getting one's shite into one's sock on the former.

A pair of related downsides of rank free markets. But in the latter case, new depths, apparently. "Micro work". Home based computer contract work, often at less than USD 1.00 per hour, if payment actually ever happens. Busy beavers might very rarely hit over USD 5 hourly, for 14 hour days. Boring work, on personal medical, product choice, lifestyle and other records data, gathered by the likes of facebook. Seems like it gets used to develop more 'human' AI. Was where expected, in dirt poor (Venezuela workers' paradise) countries. Now in the richer West. Nice. Check out the ethnicities of the rich suits behind this disgrace. Facebook, others.

I b'lieve it's just to the left of the center of the explosion...kinda like the profile of an alien looking up and to the right.
Does anyone else see this?
If not there - Where the hell's the damned face?!
This'll drive me nuts until I KNOW!

on the topic of renewing relationships, long seemingly dead. Then there are those we sometimes hear of, whereby one partner is gravely ill, with little time left. The other team member gets re-involved. The reasons could be many. As with making timely total amends, a la AA. Guilt---always a big player. Getting in line of inheritance, and sometimes the motivation here comes from the dying person herself. Lessons/messages to children or family. Knowing that no hired help could ever do a better job assisting in death. And so on it goes. Human behaviors. WOW!

Should not have listened to a Great War piece before electo-trimming the bushes. As I cut, swaying destructively back and forth, with great cutting power, and such ease, I'm reminded of two things in the broadcast. How almost a third of soldiers had continuously to be hounded by their subalterns and officers to actually SHOOT at the advancing enemy. And of how thousands were torn apart and cut to pieces, only to lie dying, in piles upon each other, in hopeless agony, sometimes merely getting within meters and grenade range, of the machine gun nest.
The research on PTSD advances. It's now much more inclusive as to diagnoses. Oddly, merely these thoughts place me in a place of intense survivor guilt. And sadness.
Not much to see here, folks. Just having some fun.
Now that I look at it, I think I should have drawn a larger...um
Belly button.
