Bobo The Mightie

We're all frazzled right now. It's fine to feel crazy even if you're not. Hug a cat, reach out to homies, pay attention to those wording things you pointed out, double check your sources, try to get enough sleep, drink water and get fiber. Check with experts, but don't let it overwhelm you.

Which, yes, I understand the insanity of You being my country's pres or sec def. A Vtuber press conference would be wild though.

Like I'm not disagreeing because I think it isn't an internally rational thought for these guys, I'm disagreeing because I think we both are more qualified for their jobs than they are. You make a goal, you stick to a goal. And can think of other people and how it impacts them. 🤷🤦‍♂️

My only counterpoint to that is, <if I'm reading you correctly>, your points are too well thought out and strategic for my country's leadership right now. And I'm leaning more towards tantrums vs strats.

Because like you pointed out, wording is to get you to feel a certain way.

If you want my inner monologue and several others, check Pearlmania and Phillip Defranco's crashing out...their emergency saturday episode. Currently I am tracking a bunch of things for family. And yeah, keep wordings in mind when reading. Once you see it, you can catch it b4 it triggers emotions.

It's so frustrating for us who lived through Iraq I&II and Afghanistan South of Y'all. The Pew Interest polls were like"nah don't, K?". Oman was signalling they were close to a full deal, this is freaking pointless. That's one source, was reading close to done friday got woke up sat. to this.

JoCatGPT, How long do I cook these puff pastries?

wait seriously?! freaking finally.

You've seen my hand cam setup and the slight chaos off screen...I fear what you'd say and what blackmail I'd give you for riffing me in the dms if I gave you the full scene.
NOW EVERYONE ELSE IN THE DISCORD LET'S GO.

Yeah I don't begrudge YouTuber's sponsorships. Except for Betterhelp, Scentbird, or anything that is alt right pipeline stuff. I even make fun of but don't begrudge RAID SHADOW LEGENDS (even though it's just gambling).

Trickle down is bs.
Tax. The. Rich.

a clarification (not any defense at all)
my brain was like "she's taking a little resty breaky / OH she's doing an event."
Like.you.were.two.people.
God why am I like this?

OH. Object permanence does not exist.
Yes, I paid attention when you told us this.
No, I did not connect, "The reason the STREAMER isn't streaming is BECAUSE your FRIEND is doing a public speaking event." Until now.
My brain apparently hannah montana'ed you.
I have no excuse.

Like every other technical term with specific meaning, radicalized has been bastardized in online jargon to be "I have now formed a belief in something strongly" instead of "that is how cleantok convinced me to blow up government buildings". To derail/devalue/discredit. TIHI.

Honestly part of me wants to but 1) I want to do science 2) I am ND, so like not great with people 3) I know enough debate to know the poor debate strats, and I am unsure if I would stop myself from punching a co worker if I was a politician.

So The Preacher from the Black Lagoon did a tiktok where they calmly and succinctly explained so far what we know. Including the Zodiac Club, Bill Gates, Microtransactions, /pol, gamergate, how CP in CoD was workshopped and I felt like I was on dollar store nyquil. But they weren't wrong.

Sad, numb, sucks, scared. Going to lean on contacts and try to get my people safe too. Also there's no fema in my state with half my city dark for all week. Worried about my neighbors as well.

With the weather, my lab has been destroyed. Everyone has been terminated as of the 30th. "In the political climate BIOTECH is not viable for the investors so repairing is not in the cost benefit analysis". So my content creation is on pause obviously. I found this out while evacc'ed btw.

This speaks to my soul.

I'll try to "yes and", and fill any details that slip or confuse as best I can. Where I can. Oh, Canada you dropped this...can you take it back? I want to refuse the shipment (It's warmer in McMurdo Station than where I am currently)

Even though lets be real, the complicated boring stuff like organizing, suing, setting up whistle points, having food drives deliver food to people shut in, distributing legal paperwork so people know how to survive, etc is probably more effective then the bots I've seen saying Pew Pew "them." 5)

But I am doing what I do, off twitter and bluesky, to see that type of stuff happen. You guys elsewhere, we're yelling too. If you don't see it, ask why. There's also a bunch of court stuff where they are losing left and right, but since that's boring and complicated its hard to see. 4)

(also slime is Jelly of MN, I like their policies better than my state "oh but leave..." If I do a bunch of people who aren't muscular white dudes have one less privileged guy answering the door for them...soo no?) This is getting peoples attention though. I DO have some things I want done more 3)

RtW cont: so that your medical insurance and income can be yoinked away at the drop of a hat. (just explaining, you have no idea how many times this week I've had to explain why people in Georgia are marking in DC to people outside the US). Paycheck to paycheck and logistics. 2)

I would also point out that the gen strike in MN was all union led. Unions in the US have been demonized for a reason. Because it gives people an option for civil disobedience that doesn't (yet) involves cocktails of a Molotov variety. "Right to Work" states basically hold you hostage 1)

The 18 year old kids I trained who got shipped over to Iraq and Afghanistan didn't get any more time and still followed ROEs. We had to teach them also how to de-escalate. If Dave Grossman has no haters left I am dead.
