The united snakes

i love this so i’m stealing it. lol

the american diet goes beyond food to include psychological triggers as well as including foods that have been proven to be addicting to some of us. so yes, i’ve changed it several times in the last 30 years; but that addiction keeps making me “fall off the wagon” every time i face diet influencing psychological triggers like layoffs, evictions, deportation, etc.

part of me envys you; my own middle aged body reminds me everyday that i’m middle aged and i curse the american diet & activity levels for it.

we’ve (americans) have been doing it for a little over a century now and you’ll be hard pressed to find a history book describing it as such outside of intellectual circles.

the article doesn’t even mention rape; only leak, so you know that they’re atleast toeing the line.

it’s not terrorism if you get to define it.

did you ever notice that all the nations that pursue this course of action are labeled as “rogue nations”?

it’s like they’ve successfully convinced their people with their own propaganda that whomever doesn’t toe the american/western hegemony narrative is a “rogue nation”. lol

very early and i’m hope i’m just a bitter old man that wants to see the world change for the better during my lifetime. lol

there was a mural of this nearby where i lived in austin, but i could never find out who did it because my google searches just showed seemingly random results when i searched for “hi, how are you”

adding in “daniel johnston” into the search terms has finally made me aware of it’s background and the wikipedia article about it is bizarre considering that i first became of aware of it when i witnessed the austin police beat up and harass homeless and clearly mentally unwell people nearby an advertisement version saying “thai how are you” and the wiki article says this:

In 2018, the Mayor of Austin, Texas, declared January 22 (Johnston’s birthday) to be “Hi, How Are You Day”, a day dedicated to mental health awareness funded by the non-profit organisation of the same name.

now knowing that it gained widespread popularity due to kurt cobain makes it feel like a formerly niche cultural reference has been co-opted by the mainstream and now its original intention is so far gone that it has become an advertisement vehicle where basic civil rights can be seen abused by an authority that pretended to embraced it less than a decade ago.

The willful ignorance displayed by the pro-capitalist political groups (eg liberals, conservatives, most libertarians, and some anarchists) make it clear to me that bothering w the mask of “international law” is meaningless now as exemplified by statements like “quit talking about Gaza” or “Ukraine didn’t provoke Russia” being embraced wholesale despite proof to the contrary easily available w a single 30 second Google search away.

People make up their minds based on repetition of talking points that they get from both legacy and social media and the people who take any efforts to investigate beyond these taking points are labeled as malcontents at best and tankies at worst and doomed to watch society repeat history.

this leaves trump to do as he pleases with venezuel, gaza, iran, etc. and only the people who pay attention; whether through personal interest or a desire to dig beyond the talking points; will be the only ones aware of what’s actually happening and willfully ignored by a huge majority of people, including international bodies like the UN.

this part from the article probably says it better:

Joe Biden justified bombing Yemen to the public by saying it needed to preserve “product shipping times.” Trump justifies bombing Venezuela because “300 million people died of drug overdoses last year,” a number that no one finds credible, but it’s just as well, a blatantly false claim no one is perturbed by any longer.

these kinds of actions make it clear that BRICS is nowhere near strong enough to stand up the G7.

TIL that you can 3d print with colors.

what do you do if you need a color you don’t have. i’m presuming that you mix them, but how?

i used to answer honestly like because this and i never understood; and still don’t (i’m on the spectrum); why some people got angry/frustrated and it almost always eventually germinated into a full blown fire-this-asshole-already movement in the places i worked at until my therapist made me aware that people don’t really expect a true answer and will only accept certain responses.

i call it the social handshake now and i allot an extra 10 minutes every single time i schedule a work meeting an wait to hear certain key words/phrases before continuing on for the actual reason why i scheduled the meeting. lol

when i delete a post or comment, it’s usually because i realized that i responded to the wrong comment or that i posted in the wrong community; will it still show in such circumstances?

the rape thing was the story that opened by eyes to intense level of propaganda that i saw from guardian; new york times; washington post; etc.

i have difficulty reconciling how people regard them as trustworthy while automatically disregarding other sources like al jazeera or telesur as propaganda.
