Edward's Boat Trip: How it started vs how it's going

A little more than that. BTW, I'm u/Zapped. I created this account to comment and post to keep separation between moderation and interaction.

There were some pretty big events between those two moments in time, though.

Smalls · 2024-04-26T19:32:58+00:00

I did that for a week and it was beneficial. It took a few days for my brain to get used to normal stimuli.

Sometimes you have to think of it as planting a seed. Somebody may find it useful but never respond, so you don't know how impactful you were.

I'll try. You feel that you are not prepared for the unexpected emergency.

Smalls · 2024-04-24T20:50:16+00:00

Fair enough, but this is the part where we widely disagree on the facts supporting your claims.

Smalls · 2024-04-24T19:44:20+00:00

How does that make it ineffective?

Smalls · 2024-04-24T19:42:16+00:00

Why wouldn't they lay sanctions against China or whoever is using it for "spying". What are the odds on when Saidit is a danger to national security and needs to be banned?

Smalls · 2024-04-24T19:39:21+00:00

Noncompete contracts are not legal in most states anyway, unless it is about taking existing customers with you.

Smalls · 2024-04-24T19:36:48+00:00

Nope. He was in trouble for lying under oath, but the Democrats diverted the news to the affair in the Oral Orifice to make it seem that the Republicans were going after him for that (and the public ate it up because it was so much more interesting). Before you accuse me of defending the Republicans, I do think that the Republican impeachment of Clinton is what made the political prosecution of Trump easier.

I am reading your comment about switching to metal mugs while in the background, a news report plays on my television about a middle-school student who used her Stanly mug to beat-down another student.

Exactly. That would mean that she was into games and that he was not.

Smalls · 2024-04-22T17:43:54+00:00

Why do you think that is?

Smalls · 2024-04-22T17:36:57+00:00

It's not color, it's culture. It just so happens that people tend to make babies with partners who look like themselves, and teach their kids the same culture.

We suffer and we enjoy. We fail and we achieve. Yin and Yang. Don't fall for the trap of negative bias.

Yes. If she was disappointed that he stopped calling, then the dynamics and personalities of the relationship were wrong to begin with.

Stay in character.

My experience in NYC is that people are friendly when you interact with them, but otherwise keep to themselves and rarely make eye contact. Upstate New Yorkers were super friendly.

Smalls · 2024-04-21T17:49:08+00:00

I have seen the increase in "homeless" camps in my area for the past few years. Recently, the local municipalities have begun to shut them down and take back the public space. Along the same timeline as the public getting fed up with the bum culture takeover was an incident which I felt summed up the difference between compassion from the community and abuse by the bums. The manager of a local Harbor Freight store would give them damaged products (tarps, bungie cords, etc.) to use in their camp, which was within walking distance. One Sunday morning he arrived at the store and the big circus tent that they use for their parking lot "tent sale" was gone. He walked over the camp and found that the bums had stolen the tent and had used it to cover a large portion of their camp including their sleeping tents and fire pit. He called the police to get it back and quit trying to help them. The city has always been a source of help for the homeless to get them help and off the streets, so there is no need to live this way around here unless you choose to. I have heard that there is a sub-Reddit for this lifestyle and there has been chatter on there promoting my area because there are so many resources to keep up that lifestyle, including free services, non-hostile residents, and easy money from panhandling.

This picture looks like he fell for the old "if you pretend you are shaking salt from a salt shaker into your mouth you can totally taste it" trick. You can now not un-see this. You're welcome.

Even fat guys can get a woman. Some women are into big guys, whether they are overall big or just fat. Just like some guys are into fat women or very petite women.

So, she admitted that some of her evidence was made up, but it was not her fault because someone else passed it on to her.

He has libertarian friendly ideas on police and the national debt, but leans anti-libertarian on social programs and unions.

Smalls · 2024-04-17T21:07:23+00:00

That's tough to hear, even on here. Sometimes people say things because they are hurting and want you to experience their pain. It's what she knew.

Smalls · 2024-04-17T12:26:23+00:00

I think you hit on all of the reasons. I would like to expand on #6. This site gives people a place to be heard, or at least the opportunity to be heard. This can be validation for the views they hold or validation for being equal members of a group.

Talk to Edward. He said he has programmed a captcha solving bot. He can be found down by the docks. Look for the blue bucket and he should be close by.

Smalls · 2024-04-15T19:58:00+00:00

It was a good break. It took about a day to get used to not having so much information being fed into my brain. I had to learn to let my own mind lead what I think about. I'll try to write up my experience. Bottom line is that I need to stop being lazy about how I get my information and more selective on how I get it and where I get it from. I was also using it as an excuse to avoid doing stuff at home. I was so much more productive this past week. Probably means I won't be on here as much during the day, but it should be more meaningful to me.

Smalls · 2024-04-15T13:10:28+00:00

You just see more here because other sites have kicked those views.

Smalls · 2024-04-15T13:02:26+00:00

The tightness of yourself against the steering wheel could have been you sleeping in an awkward position, or it could be that you feel that you are being "squeezed" into going a certain direction in life. The glitching cars represents life moving along around you that is always constant but that you are unable to predict 100% how it is specifically moving and being reactionary instead of proactive. The doctor's visit is you feeling like the doctors are not helping you and you might as well take care of it yourself since you know yourself better at this point than they do. The rest of the story is the stuff that makes you happy. You will only run into it by accident if you don't make it happen.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at the that multi-pointed joke.

Something's going on with imgur. My other post is requires age verification to view, but not this one. I made them a few minutes apart the exact same way and I didn't mark it as "mature".

Smalls · 2024-04-05T13:37:53+00:00

Me, too, when I'm not logged in. I'll see what's up.

edit: I checked it and it is the same as the picture post I made a few minutes before. The other one doesn't ask for age verification and neither were checked as mature content by me. I wonder if someone complained that this is NSFW somehow.

Yes. No winners here.

Smalls · 2024-04-04T19:12:31+00:00

I had to look it up, but yes. I think everyone was probably drunk. He was definitely attacked, but he had many, many opportunities to get out of harms way before he was attacked. Plus, being pushed down is not life-threatening, even in shallow water. I think the group who attacked him should be on trial along with him for murder.

Smalls · 2024-04-04T12:16:07+00:00

It's an odd story, for sure. He left the area after the stabbing (understandably) but didn't contact the police about the incident. That doesn't seem like the actions of an innocent person. Excessive force?

Smalls · 2024-04-04T00:15:50+00:00

The same could be said for activist prosecutors and judges ruling in those cases you mentioned above.

Smalls · 2024-04-03T21:13:22+00:00

Nice to know.

Yep. On the frontier, people tended to marry within the community, not within the ethnicity, since there was a smaller pool to choose from. This was especially true in the poorer population.

This is why he and his father, Niranjan Hiranandani, have had their names spammed on this site for months in connection with stories that don't mention the scandal. I would give credit to the user who, in comment on another post, brought up the possible reason for the massive spam campaign, but I can't remember who is was at the moment.

TLDR: Darshan Hiranandani has allegedly bribed a legislator in India to publicly and politically attack both a competitor and a politician. He paid for luxury gifts, travel, and a home-remodeling project. Moitra not only did his bidding during legislation sessions, but also gave Hiranandani her government login credentials so his team (like the one spamming Saidit) could attack his corporate and political enemies posing as her.

Smalls · 2024-03-13T19:18:32+00:00

My great uncle told me that he used Coca-Cola out of a sealed bottle to help brush his teeth because he was afraid of water. Some of the locals would take used water bottles and fill them with river water and try to sell them as new filtered water. This was back in the 1980's.

Smalls · 2024-03-13T17:18:02+00:00

Yes: people who decide to make a little extra cash instead of doing the right thing, or not doing the wrong thing. I can sort of understand that some people think they can't change things. Too bad they think of themselves as the only one and not as themselves as part of a larger group with the power of numbers, even if acting independently.

It's ok though. They talk about reading scripture during breakfast so that cancels out the ass-shaking and vulgar music overlaying their videos.

Springfield Armory donated campaign money to anti-gun legislators. It's like the moon0shiners that would give money to the preachers who would preach about the sins of the alcohol so as to keep the moonshiners more profitable by making it harder to get (or the appearance of scarcity). Talk show pundits get more viewers when their side is not winning.

I remember seeing an HBO documentary by Nancy Pelosi's daughter about the rise of Trump (just before the 2016 election) and she interviewed a guy selling Trump stickers. She asked if he supported Trump and he said "not really", but he was hyping up the crowd to sell more product.

Smalls · 2024-03-13T16:53:36+00:00

This is backlash from a totally different group than the Trumpeters.
