Every time I hear someone behind a podium telling everyone "God never burdens you with more than you can manage", I'm tempted to stand and ask "Then why all the suicides?" Everyone's breaking point varies, but everyone has their breaking point.

This surveillance is setting off false positives so often, the employee standing by is becoming desensitized to it and quickly tapping the system to allow the checkout to complete without carefully evaluating whether a theft is really happening.

When I worked for corporate Safeway, the CEO retold a story with all the staff at a townhall meeting. He said he was at a dinner party of some sort years earlier with the CEO of Sprint sitting at the same table. Mr Phone asked Mr Food what Mr Food thought about this new trend with cameras in phones. Mr Phone wasn't sure what to think and do about it. Mr Food advised him to dismiss it as a passing fad, not worth strategic alignment and investment. Both of those two CEOs went on to fail in their careers; their corporations having to sell themselves to a competitor.

No, that's a decoy video. The Elites keep this cooler technique to themselves. 😎

When I was a soilder stationed in Germany, I felt bad for their communities, seeing low-brow Americans corrupting their pretty, impressionable girls.

We have Rights, including the prerogative to waiver our Rights. We do not HAVE to enroll in the Federal statutory democracy. We CAN reserve ourselves to stay within theConstitutionnal Republic. But when we ask for a Driver License, or enroll to vote for the corporate officers in DC, or similar, we create a constructive contract that we want to exchange our Rights as privileges, governed as subjects than Citizens. You have to rescission all the licenses and registrations you've made with the corporate govt. It is a pain, and you will feel impaired by it. For example, only licensed Drivers may rent a car, or have ID with a residential address to buy a pistol, syas the ATF. Because most everyone has traded in their state Citizenship for Federal citizenship, they don't have clear exclusions provisioned for our minority of Americans.

I didn't forsee this. I thought I'd feel like a physician trapped in med school all my life, the way I have to keep learning the ever-changing technologies, but I always thought I'd be in high demand. Still, with all the under qualified people vibe coding without solid test coverage, I'm still half anticipating future recruiter calls to bring all my experience and competence back in play.

My father beat me as a lifestyle. Just as often, he terrorized me psychologically. I had to become a fellow grown man before I could confront him about it without retaliation of another beating. For decades, I gave my mother a pass. But as she edges closer towards losing her memory, as the elderly do, I finally asked her why she always cowered while I was beaten. Why was she never the mama bear that takes a stand between her little cub and the mean Grizzly? I'm heartbroken to admit she cannot cope with reconciling her cowardice. Even though she herself was never beaten, her fear for her own well being was stronger than her love for her child. She now has the audacity to insist she was never in the room all the times when it happened, and washes her hands of any culpability. I can't believe the enormity of her denial. I don't know the clinical name of the mental condition to accurately describe them, but I know if they were reacting to this post about Family Is Everything, they'd give it a big thumbs up and infer onto everyone that they are very different than what I know them to be. And so I wonder, is this OP virtue-signaling his values as an internal war with the other half of some Split Personality disorder? Is this public message really just a private matter between Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde?

Are you sure about the shadow ban? I already watched this interview on YT because it was in my Subscriber feed.

One of the most profound quotes imprinted on my Christian sensibilities since I first read it on a paper deck calendar of daily quotations, back in 2003: "Everything we do is futile, but we must do it anyway". -- Mahatma Gandhi

Oh..my..God; you found it! I've been trying to remember what search words to rediscover this song for years now - ever since my phone that knew was stolen. Finally bookmarked again!

I see the point you're making, and it's very good. Thank you. Okay, but now post a pic of that little boy you assaulted as a big, tall, heavy, grown man in front of his helpless mother. What would really be healing and growing is you kneeling down beside him in the photo, holding a sign that says "I've begged for his forgiveness".
