Father John Misty - When the God of Love Returns There'll Be Hell to Pay

This movie scared the shit out of me when I saw it. John Carpenter was pretty good at his craft.

i_cansmellthat · 2020-06-20T00:57:58+00:00

Probably was....saw him live around 2005 or so and he is a fantastic entertainer. He did "Angry White Boy Polka" and there was a part where I'm sure he needed to breathe but he didn't (not as fast as this song tho). Lots of energy, always on key and never out of breath. Was toward the front and he had a lot of flying spittle, didn't really detract from the show.

i_cansmellthat · 2020-06-20T00:45:21+00:00

Science never arrives at truth. It looks at all options; stupid, opposing, left field, etc. True science can actually never arrive at fact because it can not settle, it must be open minded to new evidence. If new evidence comes into play, it has to be investigated. There was a bill introduced about a year ago that essentially said opposing opinions would not be federally funded in the US, therefore the consensus would not be challenged (don't know if it passed). That old meme "that word, it doesn't mean what you think it means" comes to mind. Science has been bought and will now say whatever the powers that be say it should say. Sad.

At Jim Jim Falls

I fall in love

At Jim Jim Falls

I fell up from Hell

If you're gonna jump then jump

Don't think about it

If you're gonna run home and cry

Then don't waste my time

If you're gonna kill yourself

Then to save face

Just kill yourself

At Jim Jim Falls

I fooled and fell

If I were you

I'd stick to your own canoe

If you're gonna jump then jump

Don't think about it

If you're gonna run home and cry

Then don't waste my time

If you're gonna kill yourself

Then to save face

Get on with it

If you're gonna sing then sing

Don't think about it

If you're gonna live then live

Don't go on about it

If you're gonna kill yourself

Then for God's sake...

If you're gonna sing then sing

Just don't talk about it

If you're gonna live then live

Don't go on about it

If you're gonna kill yourself

Then for God's sake

Just kill yourself

Ah, I replied a little fast there. Since the youtube new user agreement just recently came out, I was associating it with that.

Seems like a big policing job for one agency, wonder if they will have a committee to monitor, take reports, and if youtube will hire their own compliance group.

i_cansmellthat · 2019-11-23T16:50:07+00:00

Seems legit, would have to do some heavy research to verify and I haven't done that. But if it is accurate, I gave way too much last year to Lockheed Martin and Boeing.

i_cansmellthat · 2019-11-23T16:37:29+00:00

The collusion is blatant at this point. Being aware of just a little truth is like having your nose rubbed in shit.

"Child directed" can be a subjective term, like "commercially viable" is as well. Basically, youtube can label you one or the other and poof, you're out. Time to jump ship, which will take some attention since I personally use it every day. If everyone aware of the censorship and collusion on youtube makes a concerted effort to leave it for an alternative, it may hurt them in their bank accounts.

i_cansmellthat · 2019-11-21T16:35:14+00:00

Great quote.

Bob Ross has a similiar quote, something like "Talent is just interest pursued." If you are interested enough and you dive deep, you become smarter and happier.

i_cansmellthat · 2019-11-21T16:29:12+00:00

Not surprising, but still....more proof of the crackdown on alternative points of view. Hope an alternative platform can be viable in the future.

I don't think the US released a pork disease, swine flu (as well as bird flu) makes the rounds in various countries every year. The difference with this swine flu is that it is more prolific and more farmers are having to kill their stock. Not out of the question a disease was released, but almost impossible to detect in that it is already floating around.

Maybe a coincidence, but it's odd. The demand will outweigh the stock soon, at least in those countries hit with the disease. Easy to foresee someone stepping in here while there is a surplus and storage options shrinking, and saying, "hey I can take that off your hands" and then making a huge profit when the demand soars.

Not sure about the cold storage, will ask my restaurant buddy, he may know.

i_cansmellthat · 2019-11-06T23:42:45+00:00

I know this was posted over a week ago, but thought this article was a little eyebrow raising in light of your post: Pork Pile-Up Continues: Bacon Levels In US Cold Storage Surge To 48-Year High

In the article they blame the overage on ambiguous trade negotiations with China, but it's a weird coincidence, especially when there are 2 articles a week circulating on the infectious disease site that I follow. Thought you might be interested.

i_cansmellthat · 2019-11-06T01:00:08+00:00

Didn't catch the Google Analytics permission (I'm not that tech savvy), that is a little sketchy. The author of the article posts her content on medium.com, I'm assuming the content would be there as well.

i_cansmellthat · 2019-11-06T00:53:01+00:00

I didn't know the term either, glad to know it now.

It's funny, I was talking with a friend who was defending voting for the lesser of two evils just last week, and I find it hard to justify that thinking instead of screaming for better. This article really stood out after that conversation.

i_cansmellthat · 2019-10-28T03:03:13+00:00

If anyone is interested, here's a link (use the box on the left to scroll to African Swine Flu update from 10/26/2019, it won't link directly) and scroll down to "see also"; it gives a timeline of articles posted to this particular site and there are lots of links. Some of the bigger restaurant chains have been prepping for this for a few months (I have a friend who works for one) and I'm assuming grocery stores have done the same.

i_cansmellthat · 2019-10-27T06:09:33+00:00

I can't get to it from my phone (says I have to use the app or chrome, won't load in the app), will definitely check it out tomorrow.

Yeah, I had subbed to magnora7's subreddit and saw that he was doing this so I joined early on. If I had started to learn to code then I might be helpful here now, probably not though since staying on task is not a strong point for me.

How many have died from smoking cigarettes again? And yet cigarettes remain on the shelves of every gas station and grocery store in America. The hypocrisy is almost comical. What a shitshow.

Close to the anniversary day too, I think. Thanks to you and u/d3rr for all the work, we appreciate it!

Wow, facial recognition ID to access the internet is probably not far off. Shame, a beautiful country ran by control freaks.

I wonder how much land is deemed "national park" or other protected area? Seems like heavy handed government control likes to rope off large tracts of land, under the guise of protection.

I like the focus on the user, not the sub. Freedom of speech means some people will say things you don't like. Personally, the incel sub doesn't seem like my thing, so I don't go to it, but they can do their thing.

This is what I use for carpet, you can do this on other floor surfaces but modify soaking time.

If you don't know where the spot is, you can use a black light to find it. It will fluoresce in the dark. If it's still wet, blot up as much as you can with paper towels. You are going to need a lot of paper towels, and not the really cheap ones. Once you do that, or if it's dry, saturate the stain with an enzyme cleaner. There are a few to chose from, (I like Natures Miracle) and you can get it from pet stores or amazon, just make sure it says enzyme cleaner. It's pricey, if you have several spots you are better off buying it by the gallon which will run $25-33. Let the enzyme cleaner soak the spot for at least 10 minutes, then blot all the liquid up with paper towels. Then let it air dry. Once should work but if it's an old stain or really pungent you can repeat the enzyme cleaner.

Media monarchy with James Evan Pilato. It's more like a news aggregator with critical commentary, he does a live discord stream daily (though he is off this week, I think) which is a pay service but you can go as little as a buck a month, or it's free recorded version is available on podcast or his site. He streams music too, and he works with Corbett for a weekly 10 minute or so run down on news events. Livechat in discord is fun on his stream, though dark and sarcastic.

i_cansmellthat · 2019-10-10T11:01:41+00:00

Is it irony that the article uses reddit to illustrate the gaming community's frustration with censorship? It mentions that the Chinese company Tencent has some ownership of Blizzard, but fails to mention Tencent's large investment in reddit (something like 150 million).

i_cansmellthat · 2019-09-16T02:22:49+00:00

Do you think the focus is drawn away purposely from the Epstein document dump as well? I can't determine if the suicide timed well for less attention to the documents, or if the document dump was to keep researching individuals occupied and away from other issues. Friday was all "Epstein docs" and Saturday was "Clinton's killed Epstein" on the internet, now there isn't much chatter about those documents.

On a side note, it would be fun to develop an internet quiz that determines one's mental hygiene. Scale from 1-10, 10 being too conforming to the point of psychopathy and 1 being schizophrenic heroin mule...

i_cansmellthat · 2019-08-12T04:47:30+00:00

There is this thread from reddit that talks about his head size being too large in perspective to those around him, which suggests it is photoshopped. Of course, this could be misdirection as well. But, if this is an actual photo taken and being shared around the internet, his head is disproportionate to the rest of the pic.

30 second sound bite is generous, more like 5-7 these days.

I read this somewhere around 2005, and something that stuck with me is that he said to pay attention to the advertisements in the things you read. Those advertising in said things are very likely to interest you, algorithms in early stages so to speak. He was essentially saying that hey, those selling something have figured you out, and by reading "xyz" you must be interested in "abc." Heavy paraphrasing on my part... his work has stayed with me a long time.

Greg Carlwood posted this yesterday concerning the death of Tracy Twyman. She had recorded a video for a few friends, and it was released after her death. The video mentions THC and a friend of Carlwood's and this is his response to it.

She was supposedly in touch with Kappy because they both were investigating some of the same things.

Here is a link to some info on her, and some of the things she and Kappy were working on. It also links the video THC responds to (I didn't want to post it directly because I haven't watched it, and Carlwood was pretty shook up about it and her death). No mention of how she died in the little searching I've done.

If I remember correctly, Oxitec was genetically modifying the mosquitoes to render them sterile, but other companies (there are a few) were injecting them with a bacteria (Wolbachia). Only males were to be released with the infected bacteria, and their offspring would be sterile due to the bacteria. This was the method slated for the US.

(Time magazine article)[http://time.com/5025250/mosquito-control-mosquitomate/]

Problem is, the companies seem to be able to guarantee a male release of 99.97% max, meaning .03% released would be female. If those females mutate to adjust to the bacteria, could it pose problems if a female mosquito carrying other pathogens bites a person? No one really knows.

I haven't researched this much in the last 6 months or so, I hit a wall in finding any new info other than slated releases. Oxitec did try to stop the company using the wolbachia due to the lack of a pure male population release, but I think they lost. I couldn't find any info on actual releases, I should revisit this.

Yea I didn't figure that out early in life either, and I still catch reverting back to "I don't have a choice" mode, though not often. It's freeing really, no excuses for why you land where you find yourself (in most cases).

i_cansmellthat · 2019-04-08T04:16:55+00:00

And I mean that, you are a free to choose as you wish, and that's one of the craziest things about this whole existence. We have all these choices we didn't even realize we had, because we never took the time to stop playing the mini-games we were fixated on, and just step back and re-evaluate things as a whole.

A couple of weeks ago, my nephew was complaining about his friend to me. He is 11, and while with a group of friends he had shot a video of one of them acting loud and crazy, like most 11 year old boys act. He had posted the vid on his youtube channel with his friends permission, but the next day his friend was adamant he take it down. His complaint to me was, "He is making me take it down." My reaction was close to anger at him, I told him no one can make you do anything. Leave it up, take it down, don't wear pants today, whatever. You always have a choice, some choices have consequences. Take it down because you choose to, not because you are forced to. I feel like what you said there echoed our conversation (in a way) in that many people feel they have to do something this way or that, when in fact they have way more control than they think.

Great write up, thought about it quite a bit since first reading it.

Billions funded by a tax on each vaccine, so essentially US taxpayers are paying those billions, not the companies manufacturing the vaccine. Make loads of money, no liability....can't lose (unless one actually cares about other people). Even if you choose a side on this issue, seems like both sides could agree that the producer should assume some liability.

Yes, I understand this proposed bill is prohibiting funds, not speech or study. But doesn't science seek truth, and in so shouldn't a scientific claim seek information from all sides, especially when policy is being decided on a new frontier? By excluding funded study, they are excluding research that could produce possible solutions. Instead they are taking a side and shutting opposing views out. No matter where one stands in the debate, this bill doesn't seek truth.

Faith, belief, and truth are tricky things. Add a dose of ego and you get self righteous, narrow minded behavior. I think it's a problem to label people though, a narrow minded person has the capacity to change and grow. I can personally attest to this, the last 18 months has kicked my ass but for the better, I think. Maybe approaching these thoughts from a faith (or lack of faith) perspective is not helpful to you, thinking in terms of hopeful optimism may suit you better.

Such as Moral Principles for example, at the end of the day this is used as a measurement to determine the good nature of somebody. But does any of it really even matter?

Yep it does. But one can only apply these qualities to oneself. You have your own internal code, and while that code may be changeable, when you violate it you will lose sleep. Living by your own code brings you peace.

Regardless of what we choose to do with our lives, how we treat others and what we believe in - sooner or later we will die, and that will be that. All the friends, bad memories, good memories, achievements - gone.

Reasonably true, but.....Think of this existence as a knitted blanket, you are a stitch as are all other living things. If you get pulled, the blanket may unravel, it may have a blemish, it may not be noticeable on one side. But you and others are united in existence to form the blanket. It may or may not make you important, but you are part of something. Does it matter what that something is? In this existence, the truth of our existence may not ever make itself known in a factually proven manner. Going forward with that knowledge in a positive way could be seen as noble.

I don't know, but I don't think anyone has cornered the market on truth. God, atheists, buddha, who knows. Maybe we all are fucked, but you can try to do the best with what you've got. If you fail today, try harder tomorrow. You can grow. I find a lot of peace knowing that I can't change anyone else, that's not my job. But trying to live positively can have a positive effect on others.

Rambling response, I hope it makes sense.

About ten years or so ago, it was found that heat sterilization didn't kill prions, therefore it could still be present on surgical instruments after heat sterilization. There is a combination of chemical and heat that is termed "somewhat effective," that is how most facilities sterilize now I think, there is radiation sterilization too (don't know if it is used commonly). Last I read, prions were somewhat an anomaly in that they are not technically alive.

Kurt Vonnegut's fictional substance "Ice 9" is used as a model to show how prions unfold and seed other cells.

Italy isn't the only country releasing genetically modified mosquitoes. There are several, though the modification differs in some of the releases.

Africa Fun fact: Uganda is one of the countries slated for a release, and it borders ebola ridden Democratic Republic of Congo. Not transmittable through mosquitoes, but seems a bit risky to bring a mutated species into the fray.

Genetically Engineered Mosquitoes To Be Released In 20 States Not sure of the status, some states were fighting this. Info on release was hard to find when I searched it a couple months ago. Was approved by our own Environmental Poison Agency.

They were being released in the Cayman's, but the Cayman government halted the release late last year.

There are probably more, those are the ones I saved when looking through this a couple months ago.

Don't know much about Ronin rules, but would "We will acknowledge our own mistakes and use them as a way to grow" apply? Truth is a journey, not a destination....something something.

There is a trap once something is declared absolute truth in that you stop seeking answers and stand still, closed off from new info. Hope that makes sense, my thoughts are scattered at the moment.

From azcentral.com:

"Arizona could soon be one of the first states to maintain a massive statewide DNA database.

And if the proposed legislation passes, many people — from parent school volunteers and teachers to real estate agents and foster parents — will have no choice but to give up their DNA.

Under Senate Bill 1475, DNA must be collected from anyone who has to be fingerprinted by the state for a job, to volunteer in certain positions or for a myriad of other reasons.

The bill would even authorize the medical examiner's office to take DNA from any bodies that come into their possession.

The Department of Public Safety would maintain the collected DNA alongside the person's name, social security number, date of birth and last known address.

Any DNA in the database could be accessed and used by law enforcement in a criminal investigation. It could also be shared with other government agencies across the country for licensing, death registration, to identify a missing person or to determine someone's real name.

It could also be provided to someone conducting "legitimate research."

A $250 fee could be collected from a person who submits biological samples, according to the bill. It's not clear who would foot the cost for the dead."

(http://fluoridealert.org/researchers/government-reports/timeline-the-tsca-law-suit-against-u-s-epa/)

On November 22, 2016, a Citizens Petition under Section 21 of TSCA was presented to the U.S. EPA requesting that they exercise its authority to prohibit the purposeful addition of fluoridation chemicals to U.S. water supplies. We made this request on the grounds that a large body of animal, cellular, and human research shows that fluoride is neurotoxic at doses within the range now seen in fluoridated communities.

James Corbett did an interview last year with Dr. Paul Connett from this organization. I haven't kept up with this, but it looks like a trial date has been set for August 2019.

The article states these are HIPAA (protected private info, strictly enforced) compliant, but I'd bet it wouldn't take much effort to find the weakness and haul the manufacturer into court. I really hope they bring this crap in, change through litigation works sometimes.

Woah...that's a long list.

Guess I'll be complaining about "big pot" in about 20 years or so. Funny, but yeah the cycle just keeps on going.

Can you imagine what the USA would be like if the government worked for the people, rather than the companies?

No, and that's sad. Technically, they do work for us though (at least that is what we've been led to believe, should probably fact check that one). We the people need to remember that.

Has anyone ever started a petition to fire the representatives that seem to favor corporate interests? I guess this would have to be done on a state/regional basis. Do petitions even work anymore? Guess I just outlined what I'm reading tonight.

And the long term outcome is a daycare website where admins remove features and mods add rules in a continued attempt to "encourage people" (see reddit) :)

Reddit summed up in two words: "daycare website" Nice.

I don't know....being ignored sends a very strong message. While an insightful post may get buried and therefore ignored from time to time, hate filled rancid posts that are ignored will go away and not be plastered on the front page.

Not downvoting forces you to engage in meaningful debate or it shows ambivalence. Maybe that can help divide and conquer techniques falter a bit. If you don't feed the stray cats in your neighborhood, they will look elsewhere for food.

Not saying you are wrong, just some thoughts.

“Putting things off is the biggest waste of life: it snatches away each day as it comes, and denies us the present by promising the future. The greatest obstacle to living is expectancy, which hangs upon tomorrow and loses today. You are arranging what lies in Fortune’s control, and abandoning what lies in yours. What are you looking at? To what goal are you straining? The whole future lies in uncertainty: live immediately.” – Seneca

Positive list, nice.

Hmm....if you are running for the purpose of cardio, you could shovel driveways. It would be helpful to others, a gesture of good will, and will raise your heart rate. It's a win for everyone.

If you are running for the purpose of escape, then you are in a pickle. You will leave tracks anywhere you go, giving away your path of escape and the type of shoes you are wearing (as well as the size). Plus you will be slow. Snowshoes, maybe?

His work is solid and well sourced, learned a lot from his "Peace Revolution" podcast and haven't made it through half of the episodes.
