Good O'Rusty

I'm a casual YouTube creator, amateur photographer and aspiring artist. Not much else to say, I'm pretty boring otherwise.

@TolkienWorldG I only learned about this a couple of years ago when I saw a post much like this one. Anytime I ever saw that scene I simply thought he was adjusting his armor. I never thought twice about it.

Elon Musk just proved that ownership in America is a legal fiction.

Musk: “You get taxed on what you earn, you get taxed on what you buy, and you get taxed on what you own.”

Think about what property tax actually means.

You worked for decades. Paid it off in full. The deed is in your name.

Stop paying the government its annual fee. Watch them take it and sell it to someone who will.

You never owned that house. You were leasing it from an entity you never signed a contract with.

Income tax tells the same truth in softer packaging.

The government does not take a portion of your earnings. They decide how much of your own labor you are permitted to keep.

That is not semantics. It is a confession of who the system believes your time belongs to first.

Sales tax buries itself in the receipt. Two people exchange value voluntarily. A third party who contributed nothing takes a cut simply for allowing it to happen.

Now stack all three.

Taxed when you create. Taxed when you spend. Taxed when you hold. Taxed again when you die and try to pass it to your children.

At no point in that cycle does the system recognize your output as yours.

Because money is not an abstraction. It is crystallized human lifespan.

Every dollar taxed is an hour you already lived, already bled for, already gone.

The state is not managing an economy. It is claiming dominion over time you will never get back.

And spending it on systems you never asked for and actively oppose.

The institution extracting all of it faces zero obligation to perform. A contractor who delivers nothing gets fired. A bureaucracy that burns through trillions gets a budget increase the next fiscal year.

SpaceX pays taxes to the agencies that obstruct its launches. Tesla funds the regulators drafting rules to shield its competitors.

The builders are not subsidizing government. They are financing their own friction.

The tax code is 74,000 pages long. Not because the economy demands it. Because the extraction had to be buried in enough complexity that you would stop asking who it was designed to protect.

The past belonged to the people who taxed the world.

The future belongs to the people who build it.

This was good, very funny! I wasn't looking to go to the theater to see He-man but I've heard good things. I might just go see it. Be the first movie I've bothered to see in theater in a very long time, if I do.

Anatoly and He-Man going toe to toe in the gym over raising the Sword of Power was not on my bingo card 😂😂

Whoever is in charge of PR this movie is grossing CRIMINALLY lower than what it should!

@JayDubz_07 @GreenTextRepost The nightshift definitely had its perks but sleeping in the mornings with the light coming in and hearing people in the household always made it such that I didn't get good sleep. I was always exhausted.

[Echoes of War @EchoesofWarYT]

Private Carlton Barrett was possibly the smallest man in his regiment.

5 feet 4 inches tall. 125 pounds.

On the morning of June 6, 1944, he landed at Omaha Beach in neck-deep water, machine gun fire cutting the surface all around him. He made it to shore.

Then he turned around and went back in.

A soldier was drowning. Barrett pulled him out. Then another. Then another. For hours, under constant fire, this 125-pound man waded back into the surf again and again, pulling drowning men to safety and physically carrying the wounded to evacuation boats offshore.

But he didn't stop there.

He ran dispatches the full length of the fire-swept beach. He found soldiers paralyzed by shock and calmed them back into action. He appeared wherever the crisis was worst, doing whatever needed doing, treating rank and personal safety as irrelevant details.

He did this for hours without stopping.

His Medal of Honor citation says his courage had "an inestimable effect on his comrades." That is military understatement for: this small, anonymous man held that section of beach together through sheer force of will.

He survived the war.

His comrades later said his life darkened after he came home. He lived quietly and died in 1986 in California, largely unknown outside of military history circles.

5 feet 4 inches. 125 pounds. He went back in.

Remember him.

@Just_4or_News @karunanysa13 @Rainmaker1973 Sorry, I don't know what software or tech they use so I would suggest you looking it up. I'm sure there are videos that can explain it.

[Good O'Rusty @GoodORusty]

@karunanysa13 @Rainmaker1973 Deepfake AI replaces his real face with the person he's posing as, and makes the fake face follow the real person's expressions. The 3 finger test would probably prevent the AI from recognizing where his real face is, messing up the deepfake.

@HeliJoc @RyuuHunterSaeba @RobProvince That's what I was thinking too.

@RetroMoviesDB Great show until the characters got replaced later on. By then it seemed like they were running out of ideas.

[Good O'Rusty @GoodORusty]

@exQUIZitely I absolutely loved the lore, the cinematics, the gameplay. Unfortunately, at the time I didnt have the money to buy my own computer so I had to play on my brother's at his apartment. I eventually got it and played it bout 2 years. By then my interest just wasn't there anymore.

[Good O'Rusty @GoodORusty]

@ronsterd89 I'm guessing early eighties.

[Good O'Rusty @GoodORusty]

@markgadala I watched this movie when I was a small child and I was either too young to remember or I wasn't paying attention so this scene never had an impact on me. I honestly barely remember the plot to this movie. I remember the sequel better.

[Good O'Rusty @GoodORusty]

@InsaneReality I have never understood why people do this. If you miss your turn, just turn around down the road and come back!
