“Freedom is a two-edged sword of which one edge is liberty and the other responsibility.”

@toobaffled If true, Canada should prepare itself for world class-action lawsuits due to drift and unanticipated consequences across species and borders. 🤷♂️
Powerful speech by Bret Weinstein: "Ladies and gentlemen, I believe we must zoom out if we are to understand the pattern that we are gathered here to explore, because the pattern is larger than federal health agencies and the COVID cartel. If we do zoom out and ask, what are they hiding?"
"The answer becomes as obvious as it is disturbing. They are hiding everything. It will be jarring for many to hear a scientist speak with such certainty. It should be jarring. We are trained to present ideas with caution as hypotheses in need of a test. But in this case, I have tested the idea, and I am as certain of it as I am of anything. We are being systematically blinded."
"It is the only explanation I have encountered that will not only describe the present, but also, in my experience, predicts the future with all but perfect accuracy. The pattern is a simple one. You can see it clearly and test it yourself. Every single institution dedicated to public truth-seeking is under simultaneous attack."
"They are all in a state of collapse. Every body of experts fails utterly. Individual experts who resist or worse in an attempt to return their institutions to sanity, they find themselves coerced into submission. If they won't buckle, they are marginalized or forced out."
"Those outside of the institutions who either seek truth alone or who build new institutions with a truth seeking mission face merciless attacks on both their integrity and expertise. often by the very institutions whose mission they refuse to abandon. There is a saying in military circles, once is a mistake, twice is a coincidence, three times is enemy action."
"I have no doubt that given an hour, the people on this panel could point to 100 examples of the pattern I have just described, while finding even a handful of exceptions would pose a significant challenge. We are left in a fool's paradise. Our research universities spend huge sums of public money to reach preordained conclusions."
"Professors teach only lessons that are consistent with wisdom students have picked up on TikTok, even when those lessons contradict the foundational principles of their disciplines. Once proud newspapers like the New York Times and Washington Post only report important stories after they have become common knowledge."
"Morticians must now raise the alarm over patterns missed by medical examiners. The CDC has become an excellent guide to protecting your health, but only for people who realize you should do the opposite of whatever it advises. The courts, the last holdout in this ongoing inversion of reality, are now regularly used as a coercive weapon of elites against those who threaten them."
"We have literally witnessed the Department of Homeland Security attempt to set up a truth ministry and declare accurate critique of government as a kind of terrorism. To my fellow patriots in the West, The pattern is unmistakable."
"I cannot tell you with any certainty who they are or what they hope to accomplish, but I can tell you that we are being systematically denied the tools of enlightenment and the rights guaranteed in our Constitution. We, those who remain dedicated to the values of the West, must fight this battle courageously."
"And we must win. For if we do not stem the tide, the result will be a dark age. that differs from prior dark ages only in the power and sophistication of the coercive instruments wielded by those who will rule us."
@Rebelxo_xo@annvandersteel Anarchy is a vacuum—pending immanent implosion—among sentient entities. Even autocracy is a temporary state. Humans, being social animals, tend to cooperate and create societies. This leads, most directly, to democracy… unless a totalitarian tyrant comes upon them first.
@Rebelxo_xo@annvandersteel ANARCHY is the cry of Disney fantasy deluded morons, single celled organisms, and plants.
"ANARCHY=without rulers"—it also implies without rules, as the act of making rules—even for oneself—makes them a ruler.
SELF-RULE (autocracy) is the desire of any sentient, civilized entity.
@Petco In the final resolution, it still cost me more than it should have been, but less than $1.
Lessons learned:
1. Tip the driver in CA$H as I feel appropriate, after satisfactorily receiving product.
2. After all the steps necessary, reevaluate if @Petco is trustworthy business.🤔

Recommendations:
1. NEVER tip in advance of receiving your product/service & verifying your satisfaction.

@Petco the transaction was completed.
Upon calling customer service, I was first offered two $5 vouchers (less than the infraction).
When instructed to cancel the order altogether, they offered resubmit the order—on their end—without the tip. However, then my 20% off reward vanished.
EVERY SINGLE WORD OF THIS! 👏
“That is how you address gender to children — you don’t.”
If you’re born a girl, you’re a girl. If you’re born a boy you’re a boy. And there is no wrong way to be either of them.
@DavidWolfe Try? Sure.
Consider incorporating as part of my regular diet… I'd sooner go vegan or eat bugs!
Coming from a history with TCM, I've no interest in playing lab-rat to lab-cultured "food" that never extended any effort to live/grow/survive, be it plant or animal.
