Sorry, but as a boomer left lib woman raised deep within the cultural norm of Germaine herself:

Her takes are fraught with conflation, new victims narrative creation, bizarre extreme umbrellas, and just flat false inclusions.

The subtle to direct pressure dynamics of a private intimate relationship, particularly one of cohabitation and monogamous status, is just the facts of human sexual misalignments combined with the stresses of daily life and various resentments or other difficulties.

Are there abusive, dangerous, controlling relationships? Of course.

Are they somehow common or happen in otherwise average intimate couples? HELL NO.

And- tbqh - it has seems to me that the entire feminist crowd, and PARTICULARLY the leaders, have been stretching and adding to the repertoire of supposed oppressive male ANYTHING relating to females for some time.

Because actual equal footing and treatment of us being the common norm in westernized countries means THEY are out of a strong role in society, a lucrative series of gigs, and even relevance to newer generations....

She is far past her on the shelf date.

Stop giving airtime or validity to this divisive vision of humans and the victim mentality forced on all women tripe from the feminists!

US authorities searching for a missing F-35 stealth fighter jet have found a debris field in South Carolina.

The debris was located in rural Williamsburg County, close to where the pilot ejected and parachuted to safety on Sunday.

The field is about two hours northeast of Marine Corps’ Joint Base Charleston and residents were being asked to avoid the area while the recovery team worked to secure it.

Repeat close to where the pilot ejected and parachuted to safety on Sunday.

Really.

Then how, EXACTLY, did no one spot it before the humiliating public ask for help finding the wreckage?

The levels of toxic shit surrounding that AF base is staggering.

This and the massive powerline arrays cause so much pollutants and interference that it cannot be overstated.

The infrastructure is already overstressed for water, sewer, garbage, roadways, basic maintenance of public areas, energy/power in the routine heat and cold waves.

The weather SUCKS BALLS there. Like all but perhaps 2 months of the year, in scattered half day increments.

Even billionaires and techies and VC gods can't get past the mind numbing, highly inefficient yet massively expensive, and stunningly complicated Kafkaesque California and Bay Area regs on buildings of any kind.

Meanwhile...

Lots of old and sketchy multi unit housing and dilapidated to outright abandoned storefronts in and all around that zone are strung out along long, straight, wide, dirty, noisy roads.... surface streets that run for miles in all directions, gang tagged and reeking of hostility and despair.

The proximity to, ah, shall we say criminally inclined? major areas and large mobile groups of humans who are ambitiously active is- yeah.

Because NOT doing so means the pseudo intellectuals controlling conversations and spaces will cut them off and repeat over and over the "correct" language and meanings within rigid lines-

I never did fit in or think like everyone else... even when I was trying to be invisible and seem docile to the "norm" I knew better than to open my mouth and cause a shitstorm with my "edgy" researched knowledge or cynical takes that would just alarm or anger too many.

I DID think many others were doing the same thing, and in private knew similar things as I did and could see the past ills and the echo in future trajectories...

You see, most talked a good game in public and social circles, seemed to use critical thinking skills and distrusted authority often... and the majority would nod along or add their own questioning views of "current events"...

Sadly however, these last 8 years- and especially these last 4- have forced me to realize that:

Most 'intellectuals' are blindered idiots or terrified of losing status,

Most 'political idealists' are fanatical partisans or in severe denial about history and reality.

The majority of upper class peeps are entirely driven by fitting in and dutifully following any authority figure, from an e-celeb to the DoD, without questioning anything ever. And shunning those who do not comply- very much like the above two groups do.

Most other "normal" middle class don't have the mental acuity OR ability to care about more than the shallowest trivia or what already has had an immediate and direct influence on their own life things....

While much of the working class or poor do not care to expend the slightest mental energy outside day to day life required thought, actively encourage their offspring to not think outside the fed narratives box, and gladly escape from reality with hobbies or intoxicants rather than face what is happening around them or seek paths out of the drudgery job rut.

And far too few of the last two groups can put the pieces together even if they DO, and rethink the narratives they have been fed.

sigh

It's no fun being alone out at the edge of the narrative spin...

It will take DECADES for the US to ramp up to even slightly close to replacement volumes for ammo and arms.

This is a delusional take, that we can do it faster or with more volume.

Also, I am pretty sure Putin never intended to take Kiev. It was intimidation to move on it early, and as the new info has revealed it WORKED in that Ukr agreed to stop- until Boris J met with Z and forced them to keep fighting.

Now THIS is true.

That the situation could be anticipated by actual smart and covetous parties is beyond doubt.

That some level of influence on resources given or response restrictions made were involved is completely viable.

That the sacred and historic sites legally limited their reach for seizing land is facts.

That they hoped for conditions that could be exploited, conditions likely at least once every 5 years if not more frequently depending on weather cycle patterns- definitely a reasonable suspicion to hold.


But consider that virtually EVERY small biz in old town are the middle to upper middle and even elite levels of Maui HI, as were the bulk of the marina boats...

This took out far more than just the majority of the locals housing and schools built on the lower reclaimed fields.

Homes with numerous abandoned cars on all the surrounding roads, and piles of "stuff" in most yards as well as "sheds" built of scrap wood and random tarps.

Note that the locals housing development area that did NOT burn were in considerably nicer condition with limited plantings, wider setbacks off better roads, and few abandoned cars caught on Google etc.

This hard reality MUST BE ACCEPTED.


So-

Why did the expensive houses along the ocean strip not burn outside old town?

Why did it stop where the bulk of the industrial business sites were below Kaanapali resorts?

Quite simply:

sparse burn materials at setbacks with wide roads or canals, planted flora and their water content, and tall concrete retaining walls and roof building materials.

The main highway it burned right onto south of Lahaina has scrub grasses and barren areas on the inland side vs dense and very dead pineapple bush fields, with a continuous high stucco finish concrete wall on the ocean side of the hwy, combined with massively lush plantings in front of it and even more watered backyards on the protected side.

And just like that one remodeled home IN Lahaina that didn't burn they pretty much all have steel roofs.

Ditto the routine big grocery store site that only got scorched in town, and the business complex north. They ALSO had huge parking lots surrounding them and all but burn proof from exterior source heat or flames construction.

This is the same reason MY local hospitals got out unscathed with just trees and landscape surrounding charred in '17, and they were right up at the burn zone line and created buffers themselves.

Add there are deep canals north of old town that were clearly a firebreak point, and you can see why Kaanapali was much safer from spread.

I say you should be sharing and telling others about the fire-

About the INCREDIBLY BAD DECISIONS MADE AND ORDERS GIVEN ON ISLAND, AND LACK OF RESCUE EFFORTS FROM HI PR MIL OR FEDS... OR THE LYING ABOUT SERVICES AND NOT ANY CELL OR NET COMMS EVEN FOR THOSE FINALLY SENT IN..... THEN LOCKING THE PLACE DOWN AND PUTTING UP FENCES WITH MILITARY GUARDS LONG AFTER BODY SEARCHES ARE DONE.

Find and share THAT.

Imo, the other reports like this sre spread to cover up the real scandals.

Will the war continue for years? by yaiyen in WayOfTheBern

[–]sdl5 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

There aren't 20M in Ukr currently.

In fact, there may well have been far less than 30M PRE-2022.

Why do I say this?

A There has not been a real census since 2001.

A1 22 years ago they claimed 48M, heavily clustered in the 15-50 ages- but with a notable steady dip for ages 18-35.

A2 That 2001 census was a bit iffy as to numbers; the UN tended to be honest most of the time and say est data, perhaps included many of those living abroad already.

B Birthrates IN UKR had been plummeting for over 15 years at that point.

C The levels newly HIV infected pre-teens to young adults has been catastrophic since the early 90s, and dramatically higher ratios of females to males than any nation but some African ones.

C1 That this is ongoing in urban youth there is demonstrated by the western govt health depts panicking over the influx of HIV+ teens and adults into their nations since early 2022, with no process of identifyiny or testing/filtering before they are accepted.

C2 And it kills there- both from being combined with IV drug use and from the overt lack of concern for those engaged in that and the sex trafficking trade, and from stillbirths of those remaining in the Ukr.

D Out migration of working age- ie young adults- skyrocketed up from 1989 onwards, with almost no return migration since.

Why did you not hear about this mass exodus before 2022?

Most Ukr migrants since 1989 have called themselves Russian, as has media and others.

E Prior to this conflict the majority of the Ukr estimated population clustered in the 35-50 ages, both sexes, and child births was still very depressed.

F The Donbass where most industrial work and big ag and mining ops cluster was by far the most populated portion of the Ukr in 2012- est population in now-involved areas was 8-12M vs about 5M for the large metros of Kiev and Lvov combined- and that zone is almost entirely now Russian territory, or the population left into Ru, now.

G By late Summer 2022 at least 7M Ukrainians had fled west from western portions of the Ukr, and the total gone is likely closer to 12M now.

G1 Many were young adults to mid 40s parents and from west Ukr cities, with plenty of the under 35 males going too- make no mistake, the local reports in the EU have demonstrated that strongly- as well as the vast majority of age 0 to 45 females.


Therefore, the entire basis of the starting point of even BODIES in the Ukr is off:

1 my estimate is they began this conflict at 28M total population, a quarter of which were under 12 or over 65),

and

2 they had reached the point of no viability for wartime forces at least 6 months ago, and probably longer.

2a 450k of males aged 17-65 dead in just over 18 months is a catastrophic ratio, but especially when you look at:

2b a likely real remaining population of under 10M, a quarter too young or old even for them and probably over half female with many of those old too.

ADD-

3 That they are now officially and openly by a new law mandatory conscripting working age skilled females into war roles in "behind the lines" medical duties 😒,

4 FORCIBLY taking males within Ukr off streets and in homes with increasing aggression- after shutting down all recruiting stations,

5 also changed the laws to force those with physical or mental disabilities or diseases into the military,

AND

6 are loudly demanding immediate extradition from ALL other nations any 15 and up aged males with Ukr citizenship regardless of when them immigrated

says it all.

Incompetence is RAMPANT in govt there. Like think illiterate 4th world levels.

They are also entirely INCAPABLE of keeping their mouths shut about anything, no matter how damaging. As you could witness on camera in the early govt media updates- the Las Vegas cop all but smacked his forehead on camera in reaction as he stood behind the speakers.

The meeting on cities and planning upcoming on Maui and past plans made w govt leaders being blurted out and then blasted on media is classic.

The overt refusal to turn off power or even contact the power company, the denial of requests to open access to the water towers, the redirect of FD crews away from watching the remnants of the morning fire for flare up... All defended live and in person repeatedly on camera to nedia- by the authorities in charge themselves.

They are INCOMPETENT IDIOTS.

This was bound to happen, fallow dead pineapple fields, siphoned off upland watertables to East Maui and the lower coast, minimal FD budgets and low staffing or training, deliberate hiring of blind order followers as LE and FD staff who couldn't even recognize their OWN lives were at risk by doing so...

All compounded by an attitude in locals that if it were a REAL emergency then the govt would announce it and be there telling them exactly what to do.

Guy.

It's me.

OF COURSE I watched the video.

And have already done the back research and deep dive on claims, and watched other actual on site videos and drones etc etc etc.

Maui is an island County, and in geography is essentially TWO islands with an isthmus connecting them.

Lahaina and Kaanapali zone is quite separate from the rest, and going further north or even east up the mountain from there is sparsely to no population locals and wild areas. I have actually been there, know the terrain and populations and problems. Extended fam DIED in Lahaina, in their car trying to evac dude.

The LE boss would have been living on the other half where the bulk of the population is. And may or may not be a factor in the RESPONSES. Ditto for FD boss, Water Dept and school District local govt authorities.

THOSE choices and responses in toto are the scandal needing loudspeakers in media and online.

A recent DT San Jose walkthrough, midday during the week by a Bay Area local that has been doing this in our cities for a bit now, showed all but abandoned conditions, most buildings boarded up, those not almost entirely For Lease signs, construction chain link up blocking off a huge run of sidewalk and parking along a massive building- that turns out all but burned to the ground other than the facade in ... 2020.

Very few people at all and those seen or heard were clearly "sketchy" as he commented after, car volume was shockingly light even just cutting across dt on the major routes. The cheerful Ding of the light rail periodically was downright jarring in contrast.

I thought it was perhaps struggling post rigid lockdowns in the County, but this.... this was horrifically bad.

Bad policies since at least the 80s, and greedy pol families who owned or bought big chunks during Obama to try and upsell dt (after spending enormous amounts of State and Fed money "rejuvenating" it) only briefly caused a couple years here and there of an active and busy and at least sorta safe dt core some of the time.

But ot was just cover from the slow slide of losing every small biz and tech periphery and start up- and all those employees and customers and services and restaurants etc they spent money in.

Had they quite literally JUST NOT PUSHED OUT the big player campuses back in the 80s and 90s in favor of vaporware and tech bro online product it would be an insanely profitable and booming tax and good jobs area.

Instead they shut down IBM and GE and all the rest, just as offshoring all tangible tech and mfg became actively encouraged by or Fed govt. Rapidly followed by offshoring service call center support work over then next 20 years.

Successful middle class workers got dumped and fled, tech bros and H1B crews moved in en masse, those service work like cleaning crews and landscaping and poorly paid low end service and office jobs stayed to support the above, barely hanging on with multiple working adults in a home the norm.

But it is the land of milk and honey, immigrant central, foreign invested funds in "safe" real estate abounded, and giant Google type campuses went in on every wetland and open parcel across 3 Counties- even when most stood empty as testaments to future profits greed by developers...

And only upscale or rental type multi unit complexes were built- with a laughable tiny ratio labeled low income affordable housing units so they could rake in big govt subsidies.

Low income meaning the family made 105k a year or less. Not a typo.

As those in the middle or tech jobs slowly went away too, or got filled exclusively by overseas applicants stacked like cordwood in housing.

And now here we are-

The poor people housing with gangs and violence vastly outnumber even the technically middle class homes areas or OK rental buildings, the rich have fled to locked enclaves...

...and a 1970s built not improved falling apart inside 2/2.5 townhome with just a tiny concrete enclosed patio a block from an expressway on a noisy busy 4 lanes connector road costs over A MILLION DOLLARS to buy.

H1B EXECUTIVES are buying them when their companies can outbid the corp owned Vanguard/BlackRock type offers, and otherwise they are rented for extreme sums only tech bro types or two professional career adults can pay.

I live here, my kids and grandkids are all but trapped here- and we brought it on ourselves with ignorant or naive or blindered partisan voting at first, then by refusing to see and protest what was being done.

I watched it form, burn, change directions when the wind did, roars right on past some spots and turn to melted puddles and ashes others.

Wind velocity at location, other structures, landscaping moisture or retaining walls vs none, subtle geographic or flora details that protected or nuked buffers, animals surviving "impossible" conditions, items that looked entirely unscathed surrounded by scorched melted remains and ash... that literally dissolved once touched.

What???! I thought this was a personal anecdote, and was amazed as our family broke down on the grade above Grants Pass in 1971.

The tranny blew, had to reverse down the shoulder quite a few miles in summer, the occasional semi or car flying past going up and the correct direction...

It was a Sunday afternoon though. Entire place was closed up tight and could have been abandoned.

But about 15 minutes after my stepdad had backed into town and onto the concrete pad in front of the shop a sweet lady came hurrying towards us in the heat, wearing a waitress uniform and clutching a set of keys...

She clucked over us kids, insisted she was opening the diner just to feed us from premade food and give us somewhere to sit down, and that it would be 8AM sharp Monday when the shop opened- no one would work before then.

She then proceed to stuff us with a huge tray of a wonderful cold meal and fresh fruits, then said she also had the key to the motel and would unlock a room for us if we didn't mind "doing for ourselves" on the bedding and such.

Then she vanished back home.

And yep, 8AM Monday the town sprang to life instantly- we were already packed back up and at the Bronco, and my mom had stripped the beds and piled the linens for them before we left the room.

Turned out the tranny had sheered a bolt and some other damage, and yes indeed the old welder man had my stepdad help him do the work- but he was raised in UP MI and this was familiar turf for him.

By early afternoon we were in the road north again, but I will never forget that small peek into old school conservative small town life 11 year old left liberal coastal California girl me got

[–]sdl5 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Two other factors that are glossed over by our western reporting, even those against our involvement :

There were a significant number of merc deaths able to be verified from still-intact remains in Ukr,

and

A startlingly high number of other nations govt soldier "accidents" at home or in training exercises....

Both, particularly in context of usually a small ratio of take charge field forces and with the related annihilation of Ukr's trained forces as well as much of the command or leadership, have happened on the battlezone there.

Remember the numerous blown up "hotels" and west Ukr training facilities.

And mil equipment any honest person would admit no Ukr troops could operate, yet were deployed and firing when missiled by Ru.

And of course Azovstal/helis shot down was in 2022....

To say he has a flexible sense of right and wrong, can justify anything in his mind, and is a very disruptive unpredictable influence is an understatement- And add in they oppose almost exactly his Sun and Mercury, and you see where the public wild stories and verbal gaffes his entire life come from.

lancet is supplementary behind enemy line hunter cannot do arty job by sheer numbers alone.

It doesn't have nearly as much explosives, though? Correct me if I'm wrong

you're correct, but it can carry those modern armor piercing warheads that will destroy artillery and machines just as effectively as a direct hit from the big gun.

so, considering the relatively small size of the lancet in effect you are easing the burden on your artillery to conduct counter-battery fire, which means you need less artillery at the front which means you expose less artillery to damage which means your supply chain is much easier to maintain because artillery supplies are massive which allows you to move those resources elsewhere (or back into more artillery to pound the enemy).

i think russia's advantage in industry and technology will allow them to conduct slow massive offensives.

it will take time, like you say

if the USA pulls out for some reason, say because the elites in the US intensify the war they are waging against each other, then it's over quickly

Putin knows how the US works. This is beneficial because the west is confronted with its inability to wage war with Russia without nukes. This was overdue.

NATO is infighting, the US is deindustrializing Europe in favor of its own producers of oil, liquid gas and weapons. Germany in the shadows is livid. France sees her Francophone Africa thrown under the bus for a drone base.

That is the winning, and even that is only part of it.

also due to modern isr and strike weapons, you can no longer really assemble those huge ww2 style formations and movements without it being hit in combat with peer powers you will have to advance at the speed your air defense umbrella moves

yep and you can only advance if you can maintain overwhelming firepower at the front and destroy more machines and manpower than the enemy.

the ukraine can't do this, russia can. the new KA-52 missiles that hit moving targets at 15km are a game changer. russia will develop more of these and it's unlikely the ukraine will.

same for the lancet these machines allow russia to hold the front with less machines actually at the front. the lancet does the job of an arillery, and the total system weighs 100 lbs or something like this.

these are big advantages the russians have and they will continue to develop more while the west stagnates.

Based on the data and analysis of actual hits and actions in troops etc I have seen-

Russia does not do mass rushes, ever. Masses troops they do stage tend to fall into 2 categories: 1 to force Ukr to rapidly move their own forces to a far distant spot on the line of conflict from current positions. 2 behind entrenched defense lines to hold or reinforce against any attempts to attack the line beyond the greyzone of the open areas before first defense lines.

I would say the first is happening in part, but it is also possible that somehow additional entrenched defense lines went in by Russian forces in that Lyman with no reporting on that and they are now staged just behind them...

But many analysts not parroting US DoD speech have been saying Russia will and perhaps even NEEDS TO make a late Summer push to take the rest of the Donetsk Oblast back and even beyond to the North/Kharkiv and West Dnipr River, then bunker in and build the same big border defenses they have at the Central front, done over the wet Fall and into Winter.

On the second point-

Russia has crazy level accuracy on targetting, and some kind of advanced formula on exactly how many and where to send all artillery strikes will clear equipment or manpower out.

I will add an interesting convo from today on this and the overall future below...

Who’s afraid of Prigozhin and Wagner? While Russian President Vladimir Putin had every reason to be annoyed with Prigozhin, at least three considerations discredit the hypothesis of Putin’s involvement in his death by Budget-song-budget in WayOfTheBern

[–]sdl5 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

This additional info coming out:

Soon after the plane crashed, a second private jet thought linked to Prigozhin which also appeared to be heading to St. Petersburg, Prigozhin's home base, turned back to Moscow, flight tracking data showed, and later landed. Wagner had, however, specified that there were two planes and that the businessman could have been in the one that had not crashed. “Although many channels write that Prigojine is dead, he could have flown on another plane,” he explained. Before finally announcing the death of its leader. A second plane belonging to Prigozhin landed at Ostafyevo airport near Moscow. The Embraer ERJ-135BJ Legacy 650 aircraft, registration RA-02748, reportedly left Moscow for St Petersburg at 17:19, landing at 18:27. A short time later, it flew back and landed in the Russian capital at 20:02. No information is available about the passengers on board. FlightRadar reports that the plane was due to fly to Baku, Azerbaijan, on 24 August.

Flight history for aircraft - RA-02748 25 Aug 2023 Baku (GYD) Moscow (SVO) (RA02748) Landed 17:14 24 Aug 2023 Moscow (VKO) Baku (GYD) (RA02748) Landed 19:00 23 Aug 2023 St. Petersburg (LED) — (RA02748) Unknown

That's pretty much it. The second plane went back to Moscow, then landed in Baku the 24th. Now back in Moscow now.

And this new info, suspect, and some op ed:

explosive device on Prigozhin's plane was planted in the landing gear compartment - this is one of the versions of the investigation.

According to preliminary data, it was in the landing gear area that an explosion occurred in the sky - as a result, the wing was torn off, which hit the stabilizer, because of this, the business jet began to climb sharply, and then went into a tailspin. From the explosive depressurization, all on board instantly lost consciousness, so the pilots could not report the emergency. In any case, without a wing and a stabilizer, it was not possible to save the ship. It was because of the explosion in the sky that the tail section of the aircraft fell five kilometers from the fuselage.

Now the version with an explosive device in the chassis is being tested. A special order has been introduced at Sheremetyevo - all security officers have been brought to work, called back from weekends and vacations.

Investigators have their first suspect. This is Prigozhin's personal pilot and the former founder of MNT Aero (the owner of the crashed jet) Artem Stepanov. Law enforcement can't find him. He had access to the plane, before the explosion he left for Kamchatka, where he "got lost." The only thing that his brother could tell was that he was supposedly the third day on the campaign and without communication. Stepanov is actively searched for, but most likely he left the country.

It was a bomb that was installed at the airport and blew off a wing not long after takeoff. That's why there was a puff before the plane came down, why the plane is missing a wing, and why it was spinning on the way down. You can tell the pilot was trying to keep the nose up with what little controls were left, but a small aircraft without a wing is a death sentence. If it were engine failure, you can still glide those small planes for a bit and try to land in a field.

But the puff and then the tailspin is because that missing wing got blown the fuck off by an explosive installed on it

Has anyone considered the Russian MOD behind this yet? Not the FSB, not Putin, but Prigo's enemies in the Russian Army.

Yes, it's possible. I'm open to a... anything that would confirm that course of action

I have read the exact govt wording. I have read and watched numerous representatives and advocates and govt mouthpieces on the subject.

I have seen multiples of MSM articles advocating for it, and just skimmed a few.

I have ALSO read a couple direct quotes articles, read the directly written by info, and watched seemingly unedited fairly brief videos FROM THOSE WHO HAD MAID SUGGESTED TO ADVOCATED FOR THEM REGARDLESS OF THEIR CONDITION OR OPTIONS OR VIEWS.

I have not read or watched or seen ANY anti MAID pieces or media campaigns. Probably helps I am in the US in a huge liberal bubble zone and avoid most media anyways, but none of that has gotten in front of me.

This off Guardian piece is the closest I have seen of that type of "media campaign", and it is from a medical professional in Canada writing about the actual survey they received from the govt/advocates.

Bottom line is if you think this os a harmless and needed expansion of a govt program and any objections are religious nuts- Then you are entirely deluded.

I highly recommend you step back and consider you are NOT operating from a place of reason and honest assessment of the data.

Oh, yes!

My big brother actually advised me, upon his return from Marine training, to NOT get any formal defensive/arts training but to simply go with my well developed tomboy little sister moves- as nearly no male would think I was a threat or capable on first glance or could predict my ability to get loose of even the best grip instantly and then inflict damage on them from behind while getting out of reach shortly after, lol.

He "taught me" how to wrestle by age 9, and all it did was make it easier for me to predict his attempts to hold or pin me, slide lose like a an eel in a second, and beat him about the head after.

He realized in training that the advanced units relied on unpredictable and unexpected maneuvers on the fly, and were more like my natural defensive methods... and he then understood how I had bested a tall strong teen boy effortlessly:

His HS school friend got a badly bruised jaw from my headbutt then suffered severe, erm, damage, to his boy bits from my short legs pulled up then slammed out at him.

He was trying to "playfully" pin me to the grass slope when I was 11 and he was 17- shortly before my brother went off to the Marines- and about a nanosecond before my brother was going to knock him off me from the side I took him down myself.

I did not understand the choking gasping laughter from my big brother and their other friend for YEARS, I just knew Greg had lost his mind and I wanted nothing to do with him touching me again. He didn't, LOL.

Ironically, every time he saw my mother when she was around town visiting my grandmother for DECADES after we moved when I was 14 he asked after me.... I never thought to mention the incident to her, and she was confounded he even remembered ME of her other children let alone asked how I was doing, if married, any kids, where living. I made an impression I guess 🤦😳🙃

Those few, those rare, cases are so rare for a reason. Even if legal they should NOT increase in volume or ratio of cases.

This is the core and basic truth of valid to consider deaths with dignity cases that do not involve simply upping the morphine dose a bit in the last extant of "life".

Many who desire death be granted to them simply want an escape from life, from mental or physical pain, from being a burden on others, or from a condition they feel demeans their value or freedoms more than they can bear.

Are we then to comply rather than HELP them see their innate value, new ways of fully living even with disabilities, the joy others feel loving them and having them continue to be in their lives, fighting for physical repairs is worth it, and the real hope of healing from mental issues to be a stronger wiser person?

If it were not OVERTLY BLANKET CRIMINAL charges to help someone die with dignity, those rare cases where merit seems worth considering could be handled via ANOTHER not involved (and biased against tbqh) professional panel to review the options and case ajd PATIENT intimately and carefully in a private and dignified fashion- for any case not at imminent risk of natural death, a few months won't make much difference.

The failure here is to keep highest in the mind the REAL problem is failure to help patients or citizens to our fullest abilities in modern best medical and mental care nations.

I have no strong feelings about suicide, other than the damage to others it leaves behind and the contagious nature of cases within otherwise normal lives.

Given a right to die with dignity in a true terminal or vegetative state vs spend an obscene amount of expenditure and usually pain, the loss of control over your own choices and all to marginally increase a lifespan is.... Good.

But it should never be OFFERED by any advocate or taken lightly when demanded or brought up by a patient; this is a very serious "solution", and should remain a rare appropriate one.

Ah. Ok.

You need to SEPARATE your emotions from the picture.

They are quite literally blinding you to the overt and public agenda happening in your own govt and society.

Yes, this is an incredibly difficult Ask.

You have to anyways. Or stop advocating.

The dying with dignity aspect of certain diseases in those otherwise of sound mind persons is a very VERY far cry from what has been actively promoted-

no, that is too weak a word: PUSHED

Your govt, civil servants, media, medical professionals, healthcare industry, influencers etc are all PUSHING SUICIDE AS A NORMAL RESPONSE TO TRAUMA OR DIFFICULTIES IN LIFE, OF ANY KIND.

And you are helping them to institute suicide as a cultural norm choice in an average life by INSISTING it is all just... neutral language and feeling out patient options and considering worst case scenarios alone.

I am dead serious here.

As a lifetime strong proponent of higher education to open opportunities, and learning for the sake of self improvement, and school in general I say:

GOOD!!!

They earned this on multiple levels, not least being gouging students while putting them in deep permanent debt.

Accepting any body, literally, regardless of real ability, focus, or even their grades just to have the excuse to loan money, add programs and useless degrees, and expand administration was done knowingly.

Now you reap what you sowed- widespread implosion of the false structures created from govt agendas and greed.

An oft overlooked aspect of productive organizations or actual producing is keeping track of essential paperwork/plans and keeping everyone focused on the necessary tasks/work to reach the goals.

Without that person or small crew minding the ship it is likely to founder.

So someone with your innate nature and skills is critical to almost every form of organization of more than say 5 people, small working when the BOSS is like you. Quite literally.

Also, I would not be even slightly surprised to find the Kaiser facilities in San Francisco never stopped. They were downright rabid over testing every body before entry, including employees who had just left the facility for a brief period after being tested upon first arriving.

Even in the exclusive canyons of SoCal and East Coast enclaves the abandoned vehicles in MadMaxx states of abuse litter the formerly pristine turnouts and ditches on the only access roads, any highway near a metro zone and most exits have massive homeless encampments in long blatantly visible lines, row upon row of shuttered storefronts in nice to upscale areas of cities are on every route through town, the drug-riddled street people are now routinely pressing onto 5th Avenue and Beverly Hills malls, and the inescapable sounds of mayhem are within easy distance to directly below those same "safe zones".

No, they can only be deliberately using their platform to baldface lie to the public.

I had alerted her to the Twitter deletion/denial by GA Co Govt of Grand Jury docs she had just crowed over and sent me- abd I had literally said "I will wait until I see an actual conviction filed" without offering an opinion of ANY kind on anything.

Oh OK.

Just secondhand, unverified if accurate, but usually a reliable source:

According to a report by Russian TV channel Tsargrad late in the evening, the plane in which Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin and Wagner founder Dmitri Utkin are believed to have died was blown up in flight before it crashed. The commanders of the Wagner Group intend to issue a joint statement in the near future.

The TV channel Tsargrad, citing sources in the commission of inquiry set up by the Russian Aviation Inspectorate, reports that the private plane that crashed in the Tver region in the early evening was blown up in the air. As reported, according to Rosawiazija, there were three crew members and seven passengers on board the private Embraer, including Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin and Wagner founder Dmitri Utkin.

Meanwhile, it is reported that the Wagner Group Commanding Council has held an emergency meeting. The Council intends to make "decisions on how to proceed in light of the confirmed information about the death of Yevgeny Prigozhin and his deputies". According to media reports, a video message will then be published in which the commanders of the PMC "Wagner" will make a joint statement. This should happen shortly.

[–]ruined-symmetryPsyop -10 points 8 hours ago that pretty much deflates this post. it's unfortunate that the ragebait framing of this for maximum "engagement" or whatever these twitter twerps have been conditioned to need has precluded raising more interesting questions like, "why are people holding fundraisers for the Ukraine when the US government is already shoveling billions of dollars at them", "what's the political character of celebrating 'Ukraine independence day'?" or "where does any of this NGO money ultimately end up going, anyway?"

instead we get, "waaaaah why aren't they raising money for headline of the week????". "actually we're raising money for that, too." "oh. ok then."
