BS in physics. I will not tolerate insults, hate, racism, sexism, etc. I won't send you money. I don't want to see you naked. Except for you, and you know who you are.

Last Notes npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. Being rational will not win you any friends. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. That may be true, but my understanding of non binary indicates a lack sexual preference in partners, while I most assuredly do have a preference. But, Now that I think of it, non binary could be very close in some ways to what I am. Interesting. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. I will admit I have a flaw with this internal view of self. When I look at anyone who focuses in any hyper way on gender, guys like trump, the tate brothers, the kardashians, beauty contestants, people at the make up counter, people in body building competitions... People who focus on gender or gender roles before all else... I feel repulsed. This often does not go over well, especially with people invested in their appearance. Mostly because I just don't care. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. Not really, because my question is basically why anyone thinks of themselves as any gender or sex. THAT is a fundamental difference. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. That's it. Couldn't remember the title, and didn't look it up because the chance anyone else read it I would talk to about this issue was slim. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. Then we are more similar than different. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. No apologies needed. I was really disappointed that no one took a moment to address me over this. I have been thinking about this since I posted the thread, talked to my wife about it, etc. I have come to the conclusion that you experience something that I just don't, and it is in many ways similar to what the vast majority of people experience. This connection to your body while I just see it as a favorite shirt at most. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. Even then, you better LOOK wealthy. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. The police everywhere are scum who abuse their power, and the people. And if you are a cop reading that, yes, I use my real name. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. Damn... One of my favorite bars closed a few months ago... and I want their house drink right now. I haven't had a drink in months, so this is out of the blue. But I really want one. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. This is my take on the issue: “The universe is probably littered with the one-planet graves of cultures which made the sensible economic decision that there's no good reason to go into space - each discovered, studied, and remembered by the ones who made the irrational decision.” ― Randall Munroe npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. This is my first belly laugh of the day! So true! npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. I find these camps rather annoying, repulsive, etc. But someone made a comment a few days ago: "None of us would vote for Candice Owens, and she's a black woman." In about 10 seconds, once I fully digested that, I realized "_____ for Harris", whatever the blank is, is not spreading racism, tribalism, or bringing racism back. It is just a group of people saying that they are a large voting block and you should bet on our horse. Identifying that block. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. I'm going to guess 4 billion. This is NOT my area of expertise. I am guessing based on historic events. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. if we move the stars, there is plenty of space, room, and food. On earth, we are destroying ecosystems and biodiversity, which is very valuable. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. Strange New Worlds is the best Star Trek. Fight me. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. Bibi claims that Iran is funding the anti war movement in the US. Does anyone know where I can collect a check?? npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. Hal seems to have rethought his position and deleted his posts. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. Objective reality says there is a genocide. https://news.un.org/en/story/2024/03/1147976#:~:text=Citing%20international%20law%2C%20Ms.,ethnic%2C%20racial%20or%20religious%20group. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. less than 100 meters and couldn't even hit him? That is highly suspicious. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. The Lincoln Project just put out a video making fun of Steve Bannon being raped in prison. This is abhorrent. I hope it stops a few of you from listening to a bunch of demented GQPers ever again. They show you who they are, over and over. They are NOT good people, even if they don't like tre45on. They will never be good people. NEVER. They are not on your side. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. So, I have a sign off message I send out: :I desire we become better strangers" I use that before I block someone. My question is, should I expand that a bit with the phrase before that quote (“God be wi' you. Let's meet as little as we can.”) just use the 'God be wi' you' part, or use the whole thing? “God be wi' you. Let's meet as little as we can. I do desire we may be better strangers.” ― William Shakespeare, As You Like It (hope this lightens your mood a bit) npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. No. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. I wish that people understood that Pelosi saying America needs a strong republican party, or Biden saying he had good friends in the GOP, that this attitude supported fascism. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. Wow. How astute you are. I mean "Jon", a male name, Christian or Jewish background, and "Het-Cis" right there in the nickname. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. So is gaslighting, jim crow, and thousands of other things. My favorite argument is if you have some sort of Star Trek replicator, and you replicate an orange, is it real orange juice you make from that orange? In this case, I am stating a fact. The Ds and Rs are the same bird. Same donors, same desire to maintain power. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. The dems and republicans, left and right wings of the same bird. They stay in power, and refuse to jeopardize that. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. Who I vote for is no concern. In my state, that race is decided 10 years in advance. It's the 10 or so states where it is possible for either of the candidates to win in the EC that matters. And there, Biden is over. He has lost, and the logical thing to do, if you value a win, if toss him to the old folks home and pick Jon Stewart, Katie Porter, Al Franken, Al Gore... someone who can win still. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. Please consider the logical and terrible ramifications if you decide to support a guy who can't beat a tre45onist. It's like the Dems are playing a deadly game of chicken. Running Clinton who was one of the least popular candidates in American history, and just squeaking by with a loss, then running Biden who barely won the EC vote, and now running him again when he is 15 points in popularity down from his last nail biter win. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. I'm thinking of starting a small business where for a monthly fee, I call the subscriber a stupid libtard asshole roughly weekly to help them through withdrawal from the ex burd site. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. , Ah... Biden isn't progressive at all. I honestly can't think of anything he has done that the progressives agree with him on, with the exception of his partial ending of student loans. It's interesting how people see the same things, and at the same time see things entirely differently. I think of our left wing as about as far right as the civilized world gets. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. "We" is humanity in general. You. Me. Your neighbors. Some random guy in Kazakhstan. I would suggest Bolton knows more about foreign intel than you, me, and all our acquaintances combined. In retrospect, you are 100% right about Iraq. Before Iraq, I was loudly opposed to the war, even while HRC was voting for it. If we listened to arms dealers, every intel report would be actionable, and the world would end. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. I honestly don't know if I saw that one. I'm off to ebay to look for it. And Kelly's Heroes... I have that one on VHS only. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. If he wins in November, and he is currently in the lead, his stock is going to be worth many billions. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. Kelly's Heroes is where I learned to love his acting. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. Although this is almost undeniably true, it doesn't mean what we want it to mean, as of yet. Governments though their intelligence community get warnings of thousands of events, many of which are manufactured by other governments to test responses and readiness. Or to just inject noise into the stream. Out of the thousands of reports, only a few are actionable. Determining which are is intentionally difficult. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. I have assumed you are Canadian, and therefor much more familiar with Canadian laws than I could ever be. I get my education from watching youtube videos.... But if it is a guy from Florida, there will be no arrests. Have you seen what guys from florida can get away with these days? npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. I think that would be hard to make stick. It would be blatantly obviously true, but impossible to prove. But, I wish them luck in outing these guys. If it turns out the money comes from Israel, and they got it from the US, it could help shut these assholes down. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. I know it is Canada, but still, arrest for what? The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms allows for free speech, although I don't know what Canadian case law there is on the limits of free speech. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. It's sad that my 1st emotions was happiness. Because not too long ago, there would be no search, and it thrilled me to think society has recognized native women as humans. Then it hit me that they are still dead. And the sorrow washed over me. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. I have a great idea! They can fund another Islamic group to replace Hamas, like they funded Hamas to replace the PLO! npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. Wow. My wife said my homemade stuffed bell peppers were better than Costco stuffed peppers. I am a happy camper tonight. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. Why does that guy hate America? npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. , Possibly. The 1st Amendment is possibly the most loathed Amendment by the government in general. I can see them doing whatever they can to whittle it down. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. The Satanic church will have fun with this lawsuit. I suggest Islam also get involved. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. Today is Juneteenth, a Federal holiday marking the end to slavery in the United States. That is all well and good, but did you know Alaskan natives were openly enslaved until 1966? That currently there are roughly 60,000 slaves held in the United States, mostly in nail salons, restaurants, and the garment industry? And there are an uncountable number of slaves held as sex slaves. Juneteenth isn't a day to claim victory, but a day to remember we still have work to do. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. , Good call. From the article: "The rule change echoes ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt’s position that “anti-Zionism is antisemitism, full stop,” as he put it in a speech in 2022." Anti-zionism is clearly not antisemitism. They have jumped the shark. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. If I would not intrude, may I sit across from you in a kilt? npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. Done. And I approve of your choice. I hope you approve of SPLC too. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. , interesting... It might take a year or two to figure out what charity would be best. You would have to trust me to remember, and then fulfil the terms... If you can be more specific about the contingencies, that would help. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. In this case it's simple. A virtual handshake and if you win, and it isn't an abhorrent organization, I send them $10. If I win, you send the SPLC $10. Totally on the honor system. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. Just so you know who my guess is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byron_Donalds npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. My charity would be Southern Poverty Law, if you think you have another bet. So if you can stomach donating $10 to SPLC, let me know. :) 2/2 npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. I posted this on another site: Tre45on has a short list of VP candidates out. One of them is Rep. Byron Donalds. Now, you don't know him, I don't know him, but that is who he will pick. If he picks from the list, at least. I'm willing to put $10 to the charity of the winners choice on this prediction. I won't give my reason why, but I will say it is because tre45on is really really stupid. 1/2 npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. I love the side of my house: https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/112/634/912/246/800/965/original/c9fe7cc76ec51c60.jpg npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. You convinced me, I will not vote for trump. In fact, I will not vote for anyone who was a republican after June, 2016. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. I advocate for a flat tax on all profits or income. And a personal exemption. No dependent exemptions, no mortgage exemptions, no exemptions. Just a flat tax and a personal exemption, one that applies to every business as well. Add a balanced budget amendment that sets the rate of taxation to pay for all state costs. If you want a tax cut, it's easy, you raise the personal exemption. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. Right now, that would be Palestinians. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. I feel pretty certain that Christian and Muslim people from Israel would also be banned from flights. This isn't about religion. This is about a genocidal state murdering their neighbors. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. Saw my 1st one a couple weeks ago. It was wrapped in a cartoonish version of camouflage. It is bigger than I expected, and looked quite capable. If it wasn't from a Musk controlled company, I would still be interested in buying one. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. I used to think this. As I age, what has come was an increasing realization that 'life in prison' isn't the deterrent it once was. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. You need to learn lock picking so you don't have to crawl under gates! npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. This is a good question, and I just don't know. Fast food places post calorie counts, and I look at them, but rarely does it change my order, but it might have changed my behaviour years ago, and I just didn't notice. I know I read these postings, but I don't know if it changes me much. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. That and all the slop I eat. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. Fossil fuels for the win over nature! npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. But does font matter as much as concept? npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. India says "you're welcome." npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. I hope one day the kids will ask for an explanation. That would be great. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. Stupid people are always happy. They are stupid, and don't know why they should not be happy. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. Bump stocks make weapons less deadly. This is a good thing, if you can use math. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. No, the pavement is the road out front. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. I know, right? I can drive right through that green wall.you can see my van in the top pic. Dream green. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. my driveway: https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/112/606/603/012/236/404/original/5362051ed5ed41d0.jpg https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/112/606/603/179/644/735/original/db7c2c1ecfea81dc.jpg npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. "It's ugly." So are bulldogs. "It's expensive." So is meat. "The family who makes it are monsters." I agree, and won't buy one. I'm not talking about pets, dinner, or Coors beer. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. So annoying. At some point in the past, battery operated tools and such were the cheap option. I am adding a rain water collection system, and need a small pump. I prefer things that work off grid... But in this case the battery pump is over $100, while a cheap plug in pump is $20. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. Good morning. I will be spending my day waiting to hear from the GQP that owning guns is not a fundamental right. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. We don't stop for drinks often enough... npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. They also killed 3 hostages, I saw in one report. In Nov 2023 Hamas released 105 hostages, without loss of life to civilians. Why can't they do that again? Hamas seems willing. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. I ended up putting my down payment on an Aptera. If you are not familiar with that one, it is due out in about a year, has 3 wheels, 2 passenger, 600 mile range, is solar recharged to 40 miles per day. 0 -60 in 4 seconds. But I seriously considered the Cyber Truck, before Musk when full on right wing nut. Now buying a Tesla is off the table. I really don't understand the dislike for the machine, but fully understand the dislike of the man. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. All wheel steering, most of it in the front. It can slightly crab walk and turn a bit tighter with the rear wheels steering as well. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. Japan has almost no guns, and a higher suicide rate. In fact, their suicide rate has often been higher than our suicide rate and murder rate combined. I think the problem is that this is Montana, not the guns. But it isn't just Montana... It is desperation and a lack of hope. I blame Reagan. Seriously. That MFer did more harm to our healthcare system than any other individual in American history. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. I will be looking to buy a tractor, bush hog, wood chipper, and a few other tools in the near future. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. It's been awhile since I checked on my 2nd home... one I lived in 25 years ago. A converted pole barn in the country. But I figured it was time... Well... this is the driveway: https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/112/584/229/291/068/819/original/1a36fc3dce940650.jpg https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/112/584/229/415/570/929/original/b5e37230b806c55f.jpg npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. Fair point. I have a bit of myopia... In my neighborhood no one plants anything edible but me, I plant fruit trees, berries, squash, tomatoes, figs, etc. And you can find me grazing on the bamboo when it is bolting every spring. Also, Costco had wild caught salmon... Not sure why I have overlooked it in the past. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. Being invaded by edible plants just seems horrifying. ;) npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. You bet. I did cross (on the free bridge) for the eclipse, and while over there for the day, I started to wonder "Why didn't I marry my sister?" I'm an only child. This is how Indiana affect you. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. In Louisville, Indiana and Kentucky replaced the free bridge that was the main way across the Ohio with a toll bridge. At the same time, the southern bridge which had been free had work started on it, which has been going on for YEARS now. I just stopped going to Indiana. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. I am not referring to current German attitudes, but what the Nazis were selling in the 1930s and 40s. In the face of reality, their sales pitch still is bought by the truly stupid among us. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. I doubt Israel will survive the current attacks in Gaza. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. Wow! What a shot! npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. If Godzilla could pull Ultraman, he might not hate trains to much. But he gets Mothra and Rodan? Hard (snicker) no. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. Because the monsters that line up for the train are not exactly appealing partners. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. Hitler tried to sell his movement publicly as a socialist movement, and the stupid people still believe that sales pitch. I am sure there are still people waiting for their free Volkswagen or their vacation home in the Colossus of Prora. Reality is hard to grasp if you are stupid. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. On a side note, I will respect my neighbors choice and not refer to them as "trans". It seems much better, more fitting, to just call these people "women." And I really don't care if that pisses off someone wearing a red hat, and I suspect those are the only people offended by that term... This can be an issue like saying "I don't see color" can be an issue, I guess, but I suspect there is no 100% right answer. I'm open to suggestions and thanks for teaching me something today. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. The recognition of the words as a form of insult is subjective. They are just sounds, or scribbles on paper. Not objective insults or complimentary in any way. I am not insulted by being called cis. Unless I suspect the person calling me that is attempting to be insulting. My perceived intent is subjective. "Transwomen" vs "trans women" is a new on for me, and I want to be careful, so I am asking. Language evolves. I must change with it. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. I have heard "CIS" being called an insult as well. Mostly by overly sensitive CIS men looking for a reason to be offended. It is actually why I added it to my nickname, to mock the fragile feelings of those CIS men... The entire subject is so subjective, and changes so rapidly it is hard to keep up. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. By trans folks. In person even. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. I have also been told that "trans" is a slur. npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. I curios, when I said "I feel there is always a crisis to address" what did you think that meant? npub19sfv8d3mj009wef8ka6khtdm4c24txffqr3nnq7m4htdzqvjadns277mkd Jon Het-CIS. I feel there is always a crisis to address, and that you would never be satisfied. Not because of whatever the crisis is, but because you don't fundamentally believe humanity should leave the planet and spread out.
