Rilke's Hours I, 51
Only in our doing can we grasp you.
Only with our hands can we illumine you.
The mind is but a visitor: it thinks us out of our world.
Each mind fabricates itself. We sense its limits, for we have made them. And just when we would flee them, you come and make of yourself an offering.
I don't want to think a place for you. Speak to me from everywhere. Your Gospel can be comprehended without looking for its source.
When I go toward you it is with my whole life.

Iran’s leadership is admitting what the world can now see: the pressure is working.
President Masoud Pezeshkian acknowledged Iran’s economic shortages, saying, “The war must come to an end at some point.”
Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Iran’s parliamentary speaker, was even more direct: “No matter how much military power we have, if people are hungry and we don’t have financial circulation, economic growth and domestic production, we will not endure.”
Under President Trump, Treasury will continue to sever every economic lifeline sustaining this regime until Tehran stands alone.
@20th_Centurygal A bit of reverse answer... Movies about rocking music that excelled. Rock of Ages is actually good music. And Spinal Tap. The Doors was superb.
In a sunless corner of Afghanistan that "looks like Mordor," Army Ranger Chris McCoy and his platoon leader found a 50-foot frozen waterfall—flash-frozen blue-and-white ice. His platoon leader took off his helmet, broke an MRE pound cake in half, and said: "We might never see something like this again." A human moment in the middle of combat that changed how he sees everything.
I'm going to start carrying a MRE pound cake with me now....

Game theory pretty much proves that the long game is not a strategy most people can execute at all. That's because it tends to require a negative short-term position in exchange for a real advantage later. Most people cannot commit to this because their threat-detection system reads current loss as an existential failure. And that's vicious short-sightedness. It leads them to optimize for visible progress and sacrifice their real position. The people who constantly win rarely have better information. Instead, they accept that losing now will pay off later. Never quit a game before it starts.
I want you all to understand something about me.
I don’t smoke weed to sit around and get high. For me, it doesn’t make me feel wasted. It makes me feel normal.
Without it, everyday life can be miserable. With it, I can function, focus, find some peace, and feel like myself again.
People also need to understand that I’ve been on prescription medications that affected me badly. I’ve dealt with consequences that I believe are connected to what those medications did to my body. That experience changed the way I look at what I put into myself.
You don’t have to agree with my choice. You don’t have to understand it. But don’t judge someone when you haven’t lived a single day in their body or carried what they carry.
For some people, weed is about getting high.
For me, it’s about quality of life. It’s about functioning, finding some peace, and getting through the day feeling like myself.
I’m not asking anyone to make the same choice I made. I’m asking you to understand why I made it.
And if you’re going to be a twatwaffle in my comments, understand something else: I will quote your post publicly and respond to exactly what you said. I don’t believe you’re going to enjoy the attention nearly as much as you enjoyed running your mouth.
Disagree with me all you want. Just be prepared to stand behind your own words.
So if I understand correctly…
Canada was supposed to sell us Canadian goods, but instead they were selling us Chinese goods and throwing a Made in Canada sticker on them so we wouldn’t know the difference.
Yeah, let there be war.
What movie sequel isn't a sequel, but is an obvious followup movie?
I'll offer John Cusack's Grosse Pointe Blank followed by War, Inc. With Joan Cusack and Dan Aykroyd, no less. There must be more...
