It's shaping up to look like we are headed towards experiencing a combination of:

- 1930's dust bowl
- 1979's oil shocks and stagflation
- 2000's tech bubble pop
- 2008 financial market meltdown

All while the most incompetent and demonstrably evil people are in power.

@blogdiva The comments on the OP are unanimously against this. I wonder if the European Commission might be regretted coming to the Fedi. I also wonder how much online pushback it will take to overcome the money Meta has spent.

@Darkphoenix @MrBirch @MPgh @bmacDonald94 I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy

So, other than the farcical, I'm blocking the Strait/No, I'm blocking it, going on here this is a recipe for widening the conflict. To my knowledge the majority of ships that have transited the Strait have been Chinese and Pakistani. Pretty sure neither will react well to having ships seized with no legal basis.

If this is yet another stock market manipulation, expect this to be rescinded shortly before the NYSE opens tomorrow morning.

This is a very accurate graph of anything in my lifetime in the US.

@Ulrich_the_elder @bmacDonald94 @alice @AnnaAnthro Indeed I am.

@bmacDonald94 @alice @AnnaAnthro We could bring back crucifiction, it would fit nicely I think.

GenX enters the discussion... I've chosen to live between the Yellowstone Caldera and NORAD to make sure I have all the bases covered.

@inthehands It was my understanding that ICE is funded through 2029 via the Big Spending Bill last year.

So, people tend to assume that because I am a veteran of multiple enlistments that I’m some sort of patriot. It is far more complicated than that. I joined the Army to get away from an abusive step-father mostly, and also to prove myself. My father was 20 years older than my mother and fought in WWII(101st Abn, Band of Brothers) and Korea. My step-father was a former Marine. I was a “troubled youth”, white suburban punk on dope(Repo Man anyone?). I joined to get away and to prove myself, Airborne Infantry. My first deployment with the 82nd was to Egypt with the Multinational Force and Observers(MFO). We had our “mirror” Egyptian checkpoint come over and ask for medical supplies, our squad leader freaked out about the “enemy”... It just sounded like a screwed up chain of command to me… I traded about a pound of tea for a bunch of medical supplies with the Egyptian soldiers and got chewed out for it. That’s when I started to realize that this was BS. I had read all about the Egypt/ Israel conflict due to the library on post(from 1948-73).
I then switched to 7th ID in California. We spent 3 months in Panama, came back to watch the wall fall in Berlin, then got sent back for the invasion in Dec 1989. I knew we were trying to fix the problem Bush had created when he was CIA, Noriega. We did. It was horrific what the US supported.
I got out and joined the California National Guard. I was in college and wound up in a Long Range Surveillance (LRSD) unit. We were deployed for the 1992 Los Angeles uprising. We were the first unit in, and I learned a lot. The enemy wasn’t the people on the streets, it was the gang bangers and LAPD.
I went back on active duty to pay off college debts and served from 1997-2000 and was medically discharged.
I served later with the California State Guard training National Guardsmen about to deploy to Syria.
Why did I do all of this if I wasn’t a “true believer”? Well, because I was good at it. I brought all of my men home alive from a combat deployment. I trained soldiers and helped keep them alive. I worked with a bunch of ROTC cadets in SC for a couple of years, most of them did combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, they all came back alive. I trained ROTC cadets and, to my knowledge, all of them came back.
I’m good at combat… urban, jungle, mountain, desert, and I felt the need to pass along what I knew.
I fought the system the whole time, as best I could. While at the same time trying to pass on lessons learned to keep people alive.

Fuck Authority! Fuck the Government. Fuck Nazis specifically. Question authority, always.

@inthehands Not to mention, you never attack your adversary where they are strongest.

Well, sourdough was a failure. On the positive side, I can use it it as a chalk block next time I change my oil.

Been a busy weekend. I've got peppers fermenting for a new batch of hot sauce. A batch of ginger beer fermenting, trying a very different recipe, hoping for a better result this time. My first attempt at sourdough is currently bench proofing on the counter. It's a yeast and lactobacillus rager in the kitchen.
