All life is fantasy. As an example the time it takes the body to react to something is not immediate. Even the fastest computers are not immediate. We react to the past, it is impossible to live in the true present except maybe in dreams. So called reality is actually at the subatomic level a lot of emptiness with a few particles interacting. Even now if you look around there seems to be more emptiness than objects. Yes there are gasses you can not see. Everything you fill in about your surroundings is based on pattern recognition. Every color is the one reflected while the rest are absorbed. Everything is UNIVERSE we are not separate from THE UNIVERSE. Just like we all die at the same rate as everything else. Nothing dies faster than any other thing.
Alfred Korzybski, Science and Sanity There is a fundamental confusion between the notion of the older 'semantics' as connected with a theory of verbal 'meaning' and words defined by words, and the present theory of 'general semantics' where we deal only with neuro-semantic and neuro-linguistic living reactions of Smith, Smith, etc., as their reactions to neuro-semantic and neuro-linguistic environments as environments. p. vii, as cited in: Schaff (1962;91)
The only link between the verbal and objective world is exclusively structural, necessitating the conclusion that the only content of all "knowledge" is structural. Now structure can be considered as a complex of relations, and ultimately as multi-dimensional order. From this point of view, all language can be considered as names for unspeakable entities on the objective level, be it things or feelings, or as names of relations. In fact... we find that an object represents an abstraction of a low order produced by our nervous system as the result of a sub-microscopic events acting as stimuli upon the nervous system. p. 20.
"Say whatever you choose about the object, and whatever you might say is not it." Or, in other words? "Whatever you might say the object "is", well it is not." This negative statement is final, because it is negative. p. 35.

But my handle doesn't resemble something my cat left in the litter box after consuming hair. Plus I am definitely more funny than you. In a battle of wits you are disarmed, and in a battle of arms you are witless.
Still beats the hell out of "STRINGY BOB". Like a compromised Muppet, just falling apart barely held together by little shreds of no dignity and dirty moldy thread.

What then of nations? In Russia there comes the hope of the world, not as that sometimes termed of the Communistic, of the Bolshevistic; no. But freedom, freedom! that each man will live for his fellow man! The principle has been born. It will take years for it to be crystallized, but out of Russia comes again the hope of the world. Guided by what? That friendship with the nation that hath even set on its present monetary unit "In God We Trust." (Do ye use that in thine own heart when you pay your just debts? Do ye use that in thy prayer when ye send thy missionaries to other lands? "I give it, for in God we trust"? Not for the other fifty cents either!) (3976-29)
This is the part that fits with the first Marie-Julie Jahenny
THE THREE DAYS OF DARKNESS
Marie-Julie announced the three days of darkness during which the infernal powers will be loosed and will execute all the enemies of God. "The crisis will explode suddenly; the punishments will be shared by all and will succeed one another without interruption ..." [January 4, 1884] "The three days of darkness will be on a THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. Days of the Most Holy Sacrament, of the Cross and Our Lady ... three days less one night."
"The earth will be covered in darkness", says Our Lady on 20th of September 1882, "AND HELL WILL BE LOOSED ON EARTH. Thunder and lightning will cause those who have no faith or trust in My Power, to die of fear."
"During these three days of terrifying darkness, no windows must be opened, because no one will be able to see the earth and the terrible colour it will have in those days of punishment without dying at once ..."
"The sky will be on fire, the earth will split ... During these three days of darkness let the blessed candle be lighted everywhere, no other light will shine ..."
"NO ONE OUTSIDE A SHELTER.. will survive. The earth will shake as at the judgment and fear will be great. Yes, We will listen to the prayers of your friends; NOT ONE WILL PERISH. We will need them to publish the glory of the Cross ..." [December 8, 1882]
"THE CANDLES OF BLESSED WAX ALONE WILL GIVE LIGHT during this horrible darkness. ONE CANDLE alone will be enough for the duration of this night of hell ... In the homes of the wicked and blasphemers these candles will give NO LIGHT."
"And Our Lady states: "Everything will shake except the piece of furniture on which the blessed candle is burning. This will not shake. You will all gather around with the crucifix and my blessed picture. This is what will keep away this terror."
"During this darkness the devils and the wicked will take on THE MOST HIDEOUS SHAPES ... red clouds like blood will move across the sky. The crash of the thunder will shake the earth and sinister lightning will streak the heavens out of season. The earth will be shaken to its foundations. The sea will rise, its roaring waves will spread over the continent. .."
"THE EARTH WILL BECOME LIKE A VAST CEMETERY. The bodies of the wicked and the just will cover the ground."
"Three-quarters of the population of the globe will disappear. Half the population of France will be destroyed."
A part of the proud island sinks, if the thing falls into the sea, which the pilot drops. Then the water lifts itself as high as a tower and falls down. What this thing is, I do not know. When it comes, I do not know. The January will be so warm at some time that the mosquitos will dance. It can be that we already come into a time, when there won't be a normal winter at all, like we do know him now. During the war the big darkness comes, which lasts 72 hours. It will become dark at a day during the war. Then a hail impact, consting of lightning and thunder, breaks out and an earthquake vibrates the earth. Please do not go out of the house at that time. The lights do not burn, except candle light, the current stops. Who inhales the dust, gets a cramp and dies. Do not open the windows, cover it completely with black paper. All open-standing water become poisonous and also all open-standing meals, which are not in locked doses. Also no meals in glasses, because they would not cover it up completely. Outside the death by dust goes around, many humans die. After 72 hours everything is over. But again: Do not go out of the house, do not look out of the windows, and keep the candle light burning. And pray. Overnight there will die more humans than in the two world wars before. Do not open a window during during the 72 hours. The rivers will have so few water that you can easily pass them. The cattle falls, the grass becomes yellow and dry, the dead humans will become quite yellow and black. The wind drives the clouds of death off to the east. The city with the iron tower becomes the victim of the own people. They ignite everything. Revolution is, and everything is going wildly. The islands before the coast sink, because the water is quite wild. I see large holes in the sea, which will be filled, when the enormous waves return. The beautiful city at the blue sea sinks almost completely in the sea and in the dirt and sand, which the sea ejects. I see three cities sinking in the south, in the northwest and in the west. The large city with the high iron tower is on fire. But this has been done by the own people, not by those, which came from the east. And I can exactly see that the city is made equal to the ground. And in Italy it is going wildly too. They kill many people there and the Pope flees, but many clergymen will be killed, many churches collapse. In Russia a revolution breaks out and a civil war. The corpses are so much that you cannot remove them off the roads anymore. The cross comes to honours anew. The Russian people believe in God anew. The large ones among the party leaders commit suicide and in the blood the great gulity is washed off. I see a red mass, mixed with yellow faces, it is a general riot and horrable killing. Then they sing the Easter song and burn candles in front of sacral pictures. By the prayer of the Christianity the monster of hell dies; also the young people believe anew in the intercession of the God's mother. After the victory an emperor is crowned by the fleeing Pope. How long all this lasts, I do not know. I see three nines. The third nine brings the peace. If everything is over, a part of the inhabitants have died, and the people are frightened of God anew. The laws, which bring death to the children, become invalid after the clearing. Then peace will be. A good time. I see three crowns flashing, and a gaunt old man will be our King. Also the very old crown in the south comes to honours again. The Pope, who had not to flee across the water for a long period of time, returns. When the flowers bloom on the meadows, he will return and mourn for his murdered brothers. After these events a long, lucky time comes. Those, who will experience it, will be very happy and can praise themselves lucky. But the people have to begin there, where their grandfathers began.
When the golden city is destroyed, it begins. Like a yellow line it goes up to the city in the bay. It will be a clear night, when they begin to throw it. The tanks are still driving, but those who sit in these tanks became quite black. Where it falls down, everything will be dead, no tree, no bush, no cattle, no grass, this becomes withered and black. The houses still exist. I don't know, what it is and so I cannot tell it. It is a long line. Who goes over this line, dies. The ones, who are on the one side cannot go over to the other side. Then everything at the spearheads breaks down. They all must go to the north. What they have with them, they throw away. Nobody will come back anymore. The airplanes drop a yellow powder between the Black Sea and the North Sea. Thus a death strip is created, straight from the Black Sea to the North Sea, as wide as half Bavaria. In this zone no more grass can grow, let alone humans live. The Russian supply is interrupted. Swarms of pigeons ascend from the sand. Two herds achieve the combat area from the west to southwest. The squadrons turn towards the north and cut off the course of the third army. From the east there are many caterpillars. But in the caterpillars everybody is allready dead, although the vehicles keep rolling on, in order to gradually stop automatic. Here, the pilots also throw off their small black boxes. They do explode, before they touch the soil, and spread a yellow or green smoke or dust. What comes in contact with this becomes dead, whether it is a human, an animal or a plant. For one year no organism is allowed to enter this area, otherwise it will expose itself to the largest mortal danger. At the Rhine the attack is finally repelled. From the three spearheads no soldier will come home anymore. These boxes are satanic. When they explode, a yellow and green dust or smoke arises, everything that comes in contact to it, is dead, it is a human, an animal or a plant. The humans become quite black and the meat fall off their bones, so sharply is the poison. By a natural catastrophe or something similar the Russians suddenly evade to the north. Around Cologne the last battle has started. At the Rhine I see a half-moon, which wants to devour everything. The horns of the sickle want to close. What this means, I do not know. Then they are flying to the north. In the center there is a mark, there lives nothing anymore, no human, no animal, no grass. They fly to the quite north, where the third spearhead had come in, and do cut off everything. So they will all be murdered, nobody from these three armies will come back home anymore. But then I see someone flying, coming from the east, who drops something into the large water, so that something strange will happen. The water lifts itself as high as a tower and falls down, then everything is inundated (flooded). There is an earthquake and the half of the big island will sink. The whole action will not last long, I see three lines - three days, three weeks, three months, I don't know exactly, but it won't last long! A single airplane, which comes from the east, throws something into the large water. Then the water lifts itself as high as a tower and falls down. Everything is inundated. There is an earthquake. The southern part of England slips into the water. Three large cities will be ruined: one will be destroyed by the water, the second is located so high in the Sea, that you can only see the church tower and the third falls in. One part of England disappears, when the thing falls into the sea, which the pilot drops. Then the water lifts itself as high as a tower and falls down. What this thing is, I do not know. The countries at the sea are endangered of the water heavily, the sea is very unrest, the waves go high as a house; it foams, as if it would cook/boil in the underground. Islands disappear, and the climate changes. A part of the proud island
I'm not usually a fan of Prophecy, Cayce did say that Russia would save the world. But I find this interesting because there is a dark days description that agrees with another prophecy. According to Alois Irlmaier there will be a large battle in the future, a big war .. Let’s call It World War III will start the moment that we think there is “peace” in the Middle-East, So it can be at anu moment, then it will occur, a new Middle East war suddenly flames up, big naval forces are facing hostiley in the Mediterranean. The actual firing spark is set on fire in the Balkan: I see a "large one" falling, a bloody dagger lies beside him - then impact is on impact. Two men kill a third highranked. They were paid by other people. The third murder occurred. Then the war starts. One of the murderer is a small black man, the other a little bit taller, with brightcoloured hair. I think, it will be at the Balkans, but cannot say it exactly. The year before the war will be a fruitful year with much fruit and grain. After the murder of the third it starts overnight. I see quite clearly three numbers, two eights and a nine. But I cannot say what it means and cannot state a time. The war begins at sunrise. He comes along rapidly. The farmers sit in the pub playing cards, when the foreign soldiers look through the windows and doors. Quite black an army comes from the east, but however everything occurs very rapidly. I see a three, but I do not know if it means three days or three weeks. It comes from the golden city. The first worm begins at the blue Water in the northwest and goes to the Swiss borders. As far as Regensburg no more bridges crossing the Donau exist, they do not come from the south of the blue water. Then impact is on impact. Massed units march from the East into Belgrade and moved forward to Italy. Thereafter three armored wedges immediately advance with lightning speed in the north of the Danube over Germany towards the Rhine - without preliminary warning. This will occur so unexpectedly that the population flees full of panic to the west. Many cars will clog the roads, if they would have stayed at home or would not have used the main streets. Everything, which will be an obstacle for the rapidly advancing tanks on highspeed-motorways and other fast-motorways, will be down-rolled. I cannot see any Danube-bridges above Regensburg anymore. Hardly anything remains of the big city Frankfurt. The Rhine Valley will be devastated, mainly by air. I see three spearheads coming: the below spearhead comes along over the forest, but then pulls up itself northwestly alongside the Danube. The line is for instance Prague, Bavarian forest and northwest. The blue water is the southern boundary. The second spearhead goes from east to west over Saxonia, the third from northeast to southwest. Now I see the earth like a ball before me, on which the lines of the airplanes step out (project), which do now fly up like swarms of white pigeons from the sand. The Russian does not stop anywhere, while running in his three wedges. Day and night they run in order to reach the Ruhrdistrict, where the many furnaces and fire-places are. The second spear comes westwards over Saxonia towards the Ruhrdistrict, exactly like the third, which goes from northeast westwards over Berlin. Day and night the Russians run, inexorably their target is the Ruhrdistrict. Immediately the revenge comes from across the large water. However the yellow dragon invade in Alaska and Canada at the same time. But he comes not far. I see the earth like a ball before me, on whom now the white pigeons fly near, a very large number coming up from the sand. And then it rains a yellow dust in a line. When the golden city is destroyed, it begins. Like a yellow line it goes up to the city in the bay. It will be a clear night, when they begin to throw it. The tanks are still driving, but thos
I think China and Japan are. But you can blame the rest on W omens Lib. Yes ladies you can have it all, a good looking husband, an excellent job and wonderful children when you hit forty. Except for the fact most birth defects happen after forty and , well l birth control kind of screws up the female Biology. Plus men aren't men anymore. Thanks for inventing the participation trophy. As an example I was reading this Reddit thread posted by a young, thirty, male. He asked if you knew someone was in your home to kill you where would you hide? Nope, not how would you protect yourself. Or what would be the best weapon. BUT WHERE WOULD YOU HIDE! Even Home Alone handled that better. I also read men saying I'm still young I'm only in my THIRTIES! You really want to make a nest with the guy who hides in the closet while you investigate the noise down stairs? Any clue why women cheat with people like bikers and manly a**hole types?
Do you love cookies? Do you love women? Do you love your favorite sport? Do you love your favorite clothing? Do you love your pets? Do you love life? Do you love the scent of fresh flowers? Now what percentage of "love" does each example hold for you?
“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...
The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance” ?

Have you read State of Fear by Michael Crichton? In it he points out the before Clio mate every intellectual and liberal were into EUGENICS! Now their children are old and run the world.
Three theories. If you take the way back machine there were various unknown disease outbreaks across the US and UK and Canada in 2019. In November 2019 the Chines doctor first reported a mysterious flue. Those reports grew after Januiray 2020. If we assume simply China had a lab leak. They actually happen all the time. Or China intentionally releases a virus, it happens around US bio labs. Next the US participated in world military events, like an Olympics, just about the time the reports started coming out. US , and everyone else, does practice Bio warfare. Intentional by China and Us. Accidental by China. I do know the vax is far worse than the disease with long term consequences. As of this ppoint every one and their brother is manipulating evidence and studies. Trust no one. BUT NEVER take the VaX.

Germany says 'no more migrants!': Berlin backs out of EU resettlement plan and says it will no longer accept arrivals from Italy in major blow to European unity
Germany will no longer accept refugees from Italy, backing out from a European solidarity initiative over perceptions Rome has failed to meet its obligations to take back migrants under an EU resettlement plan.
Berlin had voluntarily pledged to help overwhelmed EU states by taking in 3,500 migrants, an Interior Ministry spokesperson said on Wednesday. So far, it has accepted more than 1,700 under the scheme, launched last June.
But arguing that Italy had 'for some time' stopped receiving migrants returned from Germany under the Dublin Regulations, it announced it would 'postpone until further notice' its offer of support in a blow to European solidarity.
Under the Dublin Regulations, migrants are supposed to stay in the EU country they reach first - and are returned to their first point of entry if they move on to another.
The spokesperson for Berlin said yesterday this applies to over 12,400 people - but only ten have been relocated to Italy so far.
They added: 'Given the currently high migratory pressure of Germany, the ongoing suspension of Dublin transfers by some member states, including Italy, reinforces the major challenges Germany is currently facing in terms of its reception and accommodation capacity.'
Europe is currently facing record crossings, up 13 per cent year-on-year, with Italy among the countries most affected. More than 123,800 irregular migrants and asylum seekers have arrived in Italy this year, including more than 8,000 this week.
So there is this very large open water space. All you need is a kayak and a map. Once you hit land avoid the bears and walk until someone says "ABOOT". You are home free because Canada loves illegals right now. If they speak French you have gone too far.
No clue. I can't even recall which user name I was. I got depressed as it was my first OLD site. But then I learned that the pay sites are VERY scammy. Now back here. But I did learn that women from poor nations tend to be harder working and less demanding or "mean". They actually have a real conversation.Maybe their own men are bigger asses than foreigners, then again all foreigners are colonizers so kind of a trade off. Did we teach the men bad habits or are all men that way? And that most of the world lives on their phones.
Related to the above (Comedian video at the end) Over half of Gen Z and Millennial women think listening to Joe Rogan is a reason not to date someone, survey shows
A recent survey of registered voters from Generation Z and the Millennial generation showed that the majority of women from these age groups consider listening to Joe Rogan, being a conservative, or even refusing to see the "Barbie" movie as a strong deterrent from dating a man.
Pew Research considers anyone born between 1981 and 1996 to be a Millennial and anyone born after 1997 to be Gen Z.
Change Research surveyed 1,033 registered voters between 18 and 34 years old about voting habits, the economy, and dating preferences.
For dating preferences, pollsters gave respondents a choice to apply a "red flag," "beige flag," or a "green flag" to a personality trait of a potential dating partner. A red flag is a bad warning sign and potential reason not to date someone. The results were somewhat peculiar.
More than half of women surveyed (55%) said that if a man said he "listen to Joe Rogan," that would be a red flag. This was apparently as big a warning sign as a man who identifies as a communist (55%), a conservative (54%), or even a guy who said he refuses to see the "Barbie" movie (53%).
The biggest red flag for women in this age bracket was being a "MAGA Republican"; 76% of women said that was an obviously negative trait, followed by having no hobbies (66%) and saying "All Lives Matter" (60%).
Strangely enough, none of these compare to the idea of a man owning a gun, which was opposed to by just 27% of the survey's participants.
The 10%-20% range of red flags revealed what this voting bloc of women sees as relatively inconsequential in terms of a partner's ideology:
Being "into astrology" (20%); Identifying as a liberal (19%); Frequently posting on social media (19%); Saying "Black Lives Matter" (14%); "They take candid pictures of you" (10%);
At the same time, just 54% of this voting group said that they felt they would be able to one day afford to live in a neighborhood they feel safe in.
Every time two people have any intimate encounter both are imagining someone else. An ex, a media personality, a dog. Love, hate, good, bad and evil are the most overused meaningless words in the world.
Nearly every cleaning product in your home may release hundreds of toxic chemicals linked to cancer and infertility when used - and leave them lingering in the air for up to four HOURS, study suggests
Nearly every cleaning product in your home may release hundreds of potentially toxic chemicals when used, a study suggests.
Researchers at the Environmental Working Group tested 30 common household products such as glass cleaners, stain removers and air fresheners.
They said that all but one released measurable levels of volatile compounds, or VOCs — tiny toxins linked to cancers, asthma and fertility problems when inhaled.
Ten products released levels of the chemicals that were so high they breached European safety standards, and the VOCs lingered in the air for up to four hours.
Even some 'green' products — that claimed to be safer and more environmentally friendly — released hazardous levels of VOCs, they said.
The researchers added that the study was a 'wake-up call' for consumers, saying that people needed to be 'more aware' of the risks from cleaning products.
