 Act Your Rage Mental health professionals, trauma therapists, nurse practitioners, nurses, and doctors, lend me your ears. The geniuses have been at work and they have gone and spun their magic on the white heterosexual inferior man who clearly is only of average intelligence and from such a simple beginning was clearly spoiled rotten all his life and was given everything he ever wanted without so much as having to do a damn thing for anything other than throw hissy fits whenever he didn't get enough Christmas presents - and is clearly an ungrateful little narcissist who had model parents that loved him with every inch of their being and gave him everything he could have ever wanted.   This spoiled little shit who's clearly been on the easy track his whole life is too lazy to work, he's too stupid to learn, he's too worthless to help, he's nothing but a parasite that clearly needs a once over to put him in his place. Clearly, Ms. Rickardo knew exactly what she was ...

 With spectacular fashion I await the final crash.   The one where the plane is crashing and tumbling and turning out of control but at the last second the pilot gets control and begins to pull up.   It looks like he's going to be able to save it but little does he know that he doesn't have enough altitude to stop the meteoric descent.   We're at this stage.    I feel calm and resigned.   It may seem like I have it under control as I pull back on the stick but the reality of it all is that the ground is far too close and despite being given a moment of hope by the recovery, I quickly have realized that this is the end.     Numbness has washed over me with the decision and realization that the money was likely an estate of someone who I was supposed to look after and now no longer exists.   So, it went to the right place.   The insurance check would have been nice and that alone would have saved the...

 From many to one.   Today, with stunning clarity I was shown my future.   It's not anything that would matter or is noteworthy in any way.   It is mine and so I'll embrace it.  It's nothing to do with what one would think if one even thinks at all.   Fuck you and goodnight. China joined a long list of others—betrayers, those who are the same. It was short-lived, but it was wonderful.   China can keep it's golden missile advice.   

  If ancient Egyptian culture had never been influenced by outside civilizations, how do you think it would have evolved differently in the modern world? It would have been just like China. It would have followed the exact same pattern. When you are the best you inevitably will take the foot off the gas and you’ll get comfortable. You’ve got things going well, the economy is solid, the people are all happy, you’ve got your governing structures set and traditions in place. Society as a whole is stable and doing well. You develop the idea that you’re the center of the world and that you are living in paradise - no other place is as good. Your technology is unprecedented, no one else has anything like what your people have been able to do. You are the envy of any neighboring people who only get a glimpse of what you can do and they haven't even seen half of it. Life is good and things are great. Some outsiders show up and they have some things to trade. Nothing you're interested i...

  How would you summarize what you believe about the Bible? I believe that in the year 2025, if an incident happens and you ask 4 people what happened, you’ll get 4 different stories and often they will conflict with one another. This is in this day and age - so the idea of 4000 years ago, people witnessing events were able to remotely reliably convey what happened is rather ludicrous. So, I think the bible has been pained over for thousands of years trying to understand and interpret the word of God and what it means for humanity, etc, but ultimately, it’s written by unreliable witnesses and lore that is up to 300 years after the fact before it was recorded. It therefore seems to me that the bible should be looked at as something that traditions, bonding, family, and a sense of community rally around to support one another and to give positive regard to. I think its value is more so in the unity that it brings within its church and it works as a good guidebook as to how a responsi...

How did the British win the Battle of Britain? It was looking extremely tentative at first. The Luftwaffe was sending wave after wave of bombers that were focused on air fields and radar stations which really wore the British down. The air fields were caught unprepared taking heavy losses with one big issue being the advanced warning systems to allow for the pilots to get into the air to defend against the bombers. It was really tight for a while where the British had a hard time getting planes into the air fast enough and getting them assembled fast enough in order to be able to replace the losses that were taken in the beginning of the battle. Due to the Nazis having near air superiority over Britain it was decided that aircraft production would be splintered into pieces of industry that were scattered across Britian which would serve to lower losses when the factories were targeted. One of the costs of assembling in pieces scattered is that the logistics of moving the pieces so they...

  Could the Allies have won World War 2 without Britain? No. Without Britain there was no drain on the Luftwaffe which seriously impeded the progress of the 6th Army. They were depending on air drops for Logistic supplies and the Battle of Britain had severely crippled the Nazis by doing so much damage over a prolonged period of time. |t took the Russians a long time to get things under control and they were able to do so at Stalingrad for 2 reasons. They found a way to funnel their people into the meat grinder which gave the Nazis a problem They threw so many people into the charges towards the Nazis that the Nazis literally ran out of bullets and supplies and without the Luftwaffe being able to supply them they had to surrender. Essentially the lives of Russian men being recklessly thrown away in wave after wave of suicide charges which were insanely brave of those soldiers as they knew with each charge the odds were not on their side, but wave after wave ran the Germans out of a...

The Viet Cong Strategy Against the United States Military Photo by  Annie Spratt  on  Unsplash The Viet Cong had a well developed strategy which the world would see employed in the decades after the Viet Nam war in every major conflict. The Vietnamese had a long standing history of the French occupying Vietnam since the mid 1800s which helped the Vietnamese to get an understanding of guerrilla tactics which would become the key to beating the US in the 1960s. The Vietnamese honed their skills and developed their strategies and tactics over the decades prior to the Vietnam war against the French, culminating in the French defeat to the Viet Minh’s during the siege of Din Bin Phu. Din Bin Phu had been surrounded by the Viet Minh and it was attacked perpetually until the French finally surrendered. It was at Din Bin Phu that the Vietnamese had learned how they could take their small scale guerrilla forces and mass them up to perform a large operational group to strike at a s...

 Feeling Doubtful about Greenhouse Gas Effects Introduction Climate change has been at the forefront of concern around the world for quite a few years now. We've seen the steady increase in greenhouse gasses since industrialization began and have been able to measure the effect industry has had on the atmosphere in detail since 1970. As the decades have worn on and the world gets more technological with an increase in industrial activity. It is noticed that there has been an increase in average temperature in the last century of about a full degree. This paper asserts that greenhouse gasses are not the primary factor in global warming, but that the warming is from a shifting of the electromagnetic poles in conjunction with a prolonged increase in solar activity which has weakened the atmosphere's ability to repel solar winds and radiation. A degree in temperature doesn't seem like it should be much to worry about as many skeptics have pointed out, the earth goes through coo...

  Why do you think that the US could lose it’s top position as a world leader? Photo by Kenny Eliason on Unsplash Sadly, some of the things you have been saying are good assessments of the situation and I believe there is credibility there for why the US is on a down spiral. #1) The Russians figured something out quite a while ago and they ran an experiment in the US in 2016 to see if it was true. People go up in arms that it was to mess with the election and yes, it was partly but that wasn’t the point in itself. By getting that hacker team to focus on the US they were able to spread disinformation and sow seeds of discord that had incalculable effects moving forwards. That hacker group a) showed the world that the US was vulnerable b) it showed that democracy has some major weaknesses that can be exploited c) it showed the threat of total free speech and free speech of the press d) it made the American electoral system seem fraudulent, or at very least not a credible and fa...
