There was a really good video clip of a protestor in 2020, paraphrased: “we came out to protest, then the cops started hitting our heads with batons. we started wearing helmets, so they gassed us. We started bringing masks, so they attack us. Now we bring shields and they call them weapons. Someone is escalating this, but it’s not us”.
Basically, any evidence that you plan to defend yourself gives the cops, in their mind, cause to attack. Since you planned to defend yourself. Except fire. Cops are scared as fuck of fire.
My favorite bit of bear lore is the etymology of the word “bear”
The English word “bear” comes from Old English bera and belongs to a family of names for the bear in Germanic languages, such as Swedish björn, also used as a first name. This form is conventionally said to be related to a Proto-Indo-European word for “brown”, so that “bear” would mean “the brown one”.[1][2] However, Ringe notes that while this etymology is semantically plausible, a word meaning “brown” of this form cannot be found in Proto-Indo-European.

The flood of anger, especially righteous anger, can be it’s own reinforcement. Stop giving yourself that stimulation. You’ll feel agitated and restless, but you need to break the habit. Substitute a different habit. Check out cute animal videos from The Dodo, or enjoy some Primitive Technology, or watch some Veg Village recipe videos.
Reminds me of the story of the Alexander Matrosov memorial. A Ukrainian Soviet soldier who blocked the opening of a Nazi machine gun nest by shoving his body into it, absorbing gunfire and shielding his comrades, enabling them to advance on the position. The fascist government of Ukraine dismantled the memorial in his hometown of Dnipro, and is attempting to rewrite history but claiming he had never been to Ukraine and was a Turkic Bashkir using a false name.
Think about how dumb the average classmate you had in school was. Now, realize they’re an adult who goes around “explaining things” to others without a teacher correcting them. That is the state of Internet comments
Was a good read, thanks for sharing

Why is Maduro invading the energy drinks?
Due to US sanctions against Venezuela, they had to close the Panera Bread in Caracas. The only way Maduro can get the lemonade that kills people is by going next door to Guyana

Dr bronners soaps, change scent seasonally. Arm & Hammer deodorant, think it’s lavender scented. Kinda burns my armpits at times, but I’m not going to be one of those “I don’t wear deodorant but I don’t stink” people who actually is very stinky
I don’t suppose that’s a body of water there in the missing space?
