Have you noticed that changing someones opinion in CS doesn't happen? Especially in politics. What you believe is what you believe and NOTHING factual posted here will make you change your mind.

I'll give some examples:
The 2020 election. It's been disputed (by the same small percentage) but no evidence came up to change it.

The Biden family is the most corrupt group in America. Right? This usually comes up when the talk is about Trump court cases. Yet, they haven't found any dirt on Biden needed to get a vote to start the impeachment process. That doesn't stop those who repeat him being the worst president in the US and the most corrupt.

Fake news... usually the ones who parrot that phrase listen to the news service of Fox who was sued by Dominion Voting Systems (and lost) in a settlement of $787 million.

The earth is flat. Yeah, it's all done by holograms.

Believing the posts on TRUTH social from it's creator, who was banned from Twitter, Instagram and Facebook for making UNTRUE statements.

Denial of air pollution and climate change because in winter you had two feet of snow in your city. Let's discuss this in direct sunlight. Your place or mine?

America needs to start using sludge / tar oil from The Keystone XL Pipeline. Shall we because it's raising our gasoline prices. I guess, that hasn't been disputed enough on CS.

This year has been the most crazy, dramatic, weird, upside down year ever.

I started a completely different job, from nursing for over 30 years to an IT company on the computer all day.

I went through a divorce that I had to sort out completely by myself.

Been "alone" for the first time in my life, discovering so much about what I actually like.

Found some amazing Men that I have loved, each for their own unique personalities.

I do believe in the saying "with you for a reason, a season or a lifetime", I have had parts of all these and been parts to others.

Until now I have always handed my whole self over and given all of me if I feel like this is the real thing, this is now changing and I am learning to have patience and wait, find out if it's real or something I want to be real.

If anyone wants to change me, I will now gently close the door and walk away, I like me again and "He" must do the same.

"He's" still out there but I now have a completely person/Woman to offer and deserve the same.

It's been a while since I viewed the work of THE LINCOLN PROJECT and yesterday riz posted one that was very powerful. It's a simulation of what Trump might have said if he were on Truth serum and not Truth social.
He's controlling the Republican party. It's what he wants and not what the party is/was about. They (really) don't like it, but they are powerless to stop it.

I saw Biden's State of the Union address and was really surprised of the focus he had. Of course the detractors said everything they could to shoot it down, like suspicion he was on drugs to muster up all that energy or it was full of lies... maybe you should watch Trump's address from 2020 to see a professional liar. We really need to set a flag on Mars.

Another new video from LINCOLN is about Biden with excerpts from his SOTU address.
"An issue facing our nation isn't how old we are, how old are our ideas?"

I had signed with Dorrance Publishing to publish two of my books (Intorqueo: A Collection of Short Stories and Intorqueo: More Twists, More Turns). The contract, it turned out, made me the owner of the stories in name only. Oh, I will still get money if the books sell, whether on Amazon or in Barnes and Noble (or off of the Dorrance Bookstore online), but the company basically has the say on ownership. Even when the contracts end after a couple years, I would have to submit my withdrawal in writing.

Basically, they can do with my submitted books as they see fit, keeping my name as author and me as "partner", which is code for "I became a sucker to their words and promises".

I plan to have any contract from any publisher scrutinized by lawyers, as such will be cheaper than what was paid to have those two books published in the first place.

So, if anyone has any name of any legitimate publishing house that isn't trying to scam a person out of a lot of money, I'm all ears.

In recent months, I have discovered a pattern. I meet more bad people in my life than the good ones
The line in life between good and bad is, of course, very arbitrary.
Well, really: who can be considered good and who bad? What criteria might there be?
Most likely, this is all individual, but if any of us is deceived, betrayed, or does some kind of meanness to us, we will not dare to call such a person good. Or another question: Can a hypocrite be considered a good person?
My own statistics have shown that in my life I meet such people much more often than the sincere ones. It's sad to admit, but it's so as it is.
But why do people tend to choose these ways of interacting with others? What pushes them to do this?

I think the point is that people naturally tend to be selfish and think about their own interests and desires first. While a good person tries to maintain a balance between realizing his/ her desires and not going over other people’s heads, a bad person loses his sense of proportion and begins to not care about others, including friends and relatives.
Apparently, correcting your own shortcomings is more difficult than making your own mistakes. because you need to face the unpleasant truth about yourself, accept it, and this requires courage, a sincere desire to transform. But here the hypocrisy takes over
I'll leave the blog open for comments as it would be hypocritical not to let people, who do disagree with me, to speak up
I wish all of you to meet good people more often in your life

A man has been mauled to death by a lion at a zoo after he climbed over a 7.6m fence to take a selfie with the beast.

Prahlad Gujjar from Rajasthan, India, entered the non-public enclosure that housed the lion at Sri Venkateswara Zoological Park by climbing over the fence.

Desperate for a selfie, the 38-year-old ignored a zookeeper’s warning to step away from the lion and continued to get closer to the large cat.

Before the zookeeper could intervene, Dongalpur the lion mauled the man to death.

Truth is naked and ugly while Belief is well dressed and beautiful with make-up. Pure truth is tasteless hard and immutable because it is created by Nature whereas Belief is very tasty flexible and soft because we make it ourselves according to our wish.
The quality of Truth is that it is true for everyone and is acceptable by all. The drawback of Belief is that it varies from person to person and conflicts with each other. It is not wrong to live with one's own beliefs, but being bent on proving one's belief is the best and highest creates conflict among ourselves.
"You mind your own business and I'll mind mine, You kiss your own sweetheart and I'll kiss mine."

If we could create balance between Truth and Belief then our life and this world will become very beautiful.

There are times in my life when I feel like I'm going through things that I believe no one else has gone through (at least not anyone I know). So if no one has gone through or is going through a similar situation, it makes me think that no one could really understand me. And since I'm an over thinker (for those who don't know the term, it's someone who thinks too much, analyzes everything in the smallest detail, several times), this makes me see things from two different perspectives. On the one hand, it's weird to know that you're not understood by the people around you and that you may not even be able to talk to them about certain things for various reasons. On the other hand, if by absurdity you meet someone who can understand you, that would mean that that person has either been through that situation or is still in a similar situation. This, on the one hand, can be pleasant (not to be taken the wrong way) to know that someone understands you. But on the other hand, it can be very unpleasant, especially if you're also an empathetic person. And if your situation is really bad and you're supposed to be a good person, then...would it really be easy for you to know that there's someone else going through a similar situation as you? Maybe in situations like this you end up preferring to be truly unique, to be truly the only one going through a situation like this. (Of course, the subject can also be seen differently...generalized and seen as in any problem...but that would lead to another subject that could be more difficult to explain.)

666

What do you know about this number?

Well, it is commonly referred to as the Number of the Beast.


What do you think about this....in modern times...

Women want a man to make:

6 figures and be
6 feet tall and have a
6 inch stick in his pants



What are we to make of that?
