Amazing how my mutuals can offer explanations to things that all the astroturfed talking heads cannot. He’s exactly right.

Of course, my tl doesn’t have my mutuals on it—AV’s poast is two days old by now.

@ArtisanAles1 This is just a psy-op by Big kool-aid to get rid of their remaining overstock that contains artificial food dyes before the company switches to "real ingredients"

When I was 11/12 my dad got a job in Mendoza, Argentina and my family moved down there. I was put in Spanish school, and we tried to do the whole expat family thing. This was 2007.

When the global economy crashed it whiplashed poorly managed countries like Argentina which was already struggling with inflation. There was a significant amount of blame placed on America as a country and gringos living in country as its representatives. Of the seven other American families in our suburb, five of them had armed or violent robberies and rapes happen in 2008. I recently learned from @Lady_Astor that the gringo blame was strongly encouraged by Argentina's (Cristina) Kirchner government. My family had a gunman incident and basically fled the country. The police, who we'd already bribed to come if we called (this was standard) wouldn't protect us.

Many of the other American families had been there longer and were better established than us. It didn't matter.

The experience has led me to be strongly against doing the international expat thing. Assuming that your native neighbors in New Zealand or Argentina will not see you as the most viable possible target should any shocks to the system occur is a potentially fatal mistake. It doesn't matter how much money you have or how well set up you are, when things get even moderately bad, you are an outsider. Never forget this.

Organ procurement from “brain dead” patients is the most lucrative revenue source a hospital has.

Perhaps this is why @TexasChildrens is in such a hurry to declare a 2 year old child with a less than 2 week old injury brain dead?

I always thought if one of my parents were dying, I would go into superman mode and save them. And I did go into superman mode. But I learned that it's not always enough. End of life can be postponed, but not permanently evaded. And what matters then is dignity and comfort. Love

@McJuggerNuggets I was once a groomsman in a wedding alongside a man who has both Down syndrome and autism. Had his parents elected your path of bloodshed, the entire wedding would have been entirely different.

Please abandon the idea of childrearing if you think children so readily disposable.

@ArtisanAles1 This is a worthwhile bit of info. Thank you.

"Marriage is actually an idol" is the teaching of demons.

Notice that these people never say that polite acceptance of sodomy or financial support for invading foreigners is an idol. They only scream "idolatry" when someone wants to obey God.

Woe that call evil good, and good evil; who make darkness light, and light darkness; who make bitter sweet, and sweet bitter.

Stop “managing” expectations by expecting less. Expect more. Then set your work to that level. Our Lord said, “Ye have not, because ye ask not.” No one who complains that they don’t have enough actually expected anything more.

@_miasierra Greetings fellow MN denizen!!

@nathan_covey It’s an uphill battle! I commend your efforts. Friends/family hate that I call them all the time but a few have started to realize how much easier it is.

Local man realizes that telephones are good for telephony—and that synchronous communication media are virtually always superior to their asynchronous counterparts!

[Nathan Covey @nathan_covey]

Another thing that has surprised me is I call people way more now. And I've discovered that calling is just so much more superior than texting for a lot of things.

I think we tend to under-call and over-text as a society, especially the younger generations.

Much of life is learning to feel for the invisible waves to ride. There will be moments when, no matter how hard you push, you'll encounter an invisible wall of resistance. Wisdom is recognising what it is and not expending energy becoming overly frustrated by this naturally occurring rhythm, that is not to say you shouldn't persevere with measured intention, but it is also wise to know when to conserve your energy and to what extent.

When you sense the flow of things again, there will be an effortless momentum. You'll feel things start to loosen and then move rapidly all at once. It will feel kinetic, like you're swimming with the current, that is not to say there won't be blips along the way, but they will intuitively feel texturally insignificant in the context of the overall forward motion of things.

This is when you exert yourself with full force, just moving and grooving to the invisible music.

@ReikiREILLY Very kind, thank you.
