Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, something about it made me feel a profound sadness that still sticks with me today. I red this all the way back in high school as part of class reading. The fact I still think about that book today means my teacher was cooking, I hope he knows he made an impression on me, I wish I could tell him.

Mine are pretty full but I write lectures and use bookmarks to keep a record of sources if I ever need to revise something or cite my source. I do have everything organized by topic.

They’re sandbagging to expect this war to go into next year, bruh.

The temptation to say watch the documentary movie called Hackers but I can’t I good faith.

Yeah, I’ve traveled to Europe and loved every second of it. I would say the most dangerous place I have been to was within two hours of the Ukraine border. It only felt dangerous at the time because this was right when the war started and I wasn’t sure how it was going to unfold. I made a plan to bug out quickly if I had to. The biggest problem in parts of Europe is trying not to get scammed as a tourist and there are a lot of tourists scams. It never felt unsafe to walk around at night or anything like that. 10/10 experience and would recommend.

Honestly no, I feel the governments case is pretty thin and there are some serious questions about evidence. Honestly they might not even have the right guy, a masked man in manhattan could be anyone, Luigi really could have just been in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Yeah, I’ve never heard of the guy and people in America are treating him like a messiah, watched a few clips and he had some really terrible ideas, I don’t see the appeal to be honest.

Native Copper does naturally occur, especially in the upper peninsula of Michigan.

America likes to romanticize the past even in the way they approach teaching history in schools. They don’t put in explicit words, the true nature of horror of war and death but instead make it palatable for children. Because we grow up hearing stories of war under the guise of heroism, and gallant men. We lose sight of the nameless and faceless dead in wars. They exist only as numbers in a page and nothing you actualize in your mind. I feel if we taught with honest and explicit recounting of events things would be better as there would be no appetite for war. One thing that always stood out to me is how we learn about the forced migration of indigenous peoples out west. In the US we learn of it as “The Trail of Tears” and my god if that isn’t the most saccharin romanticized way to describe a holocaust. Call it what it was the forced death march of indigenous people. See when you change the language even though we’re talking about the same thing the internal response is very different to those two characterizations.

Called it. Soon all we’ll only be able to play baby games like Elmo’s big adventure puzzle book land, or something like that.

My husband, chi tea latte, rainy fall weather, being home, in bed under the blankets.

Back in the day when I was a teen, I was cooking the time clock at work. Got asked about it on one of the occasions I had and corrected it before they could check it. The time clock we used didn’t log adjustments and everyone had a password that had the ability to adjust the time clock. I’m almost certain I wasn’t the only one doing the same thing. I was more surprised they couldn’t figure out access levels for the thing. Tbf it was a pretty old POS system.

lol, yeah, I stopped it from happening with this magical thing called “lying.”

Why would he quit when he’s part of the cover up.

No, I still have my account but never use it anymore. After the api fiasco I came over here because I didn’t like how Reddit went about everything. I like it better here I get a bit of content and I’m done for the day, Reddit was addicting and it was made to be. Here I just check the feed until I get to yesterday stuff and I’m done for the day. I’m pretty sure I’m gonna see the same stuff just it’s just not endlessly regurgitated by bots and karma farmers. I like it better here, feels cozy compared to Reddit.

I know exactly what you mean, I lived in a small town in Eastern Europe and the streets are literally lined with fruit trees and everyone has a walnut tree in their yard, it’s literally free food. The cherries were the best.

You know along those lines you might just want to see if there is any one local that does pottery and maybe approach them for something custom.

Bernie, all the way. Is it too soon to say I’d take Carter as he is now over trump?

Using his house/property as a hazardous chemicals dumping site.

Having driven in a cooler of a big box store, yeah those things will slide forever on wet concrete. Super fun when you’re rushing to get work done for the day.
