New Life
I never really thought about how the process of being pregnant affects a womon or her body before, but I have now. After thinking about it, I don't think that I could live with myself knowing I put a woman through that.
I understand that it's a normal biological process and that at some point, some women get "baby rabies" and want to get pregnant. I just can't imagine putting someone I care about through that process even if it's something they want.
The only way to 100% assure that I don't kickstart such a process is to just not have sex with anyone, which is the responsible thing to do going forward. So that's what I'm going to do.
World War III
The timetable for World War III has seemed to have been moved up. The Biden Administration has authorized long range missile strikes into Russia. The reason he is doing this is because he knows that if he doesn't bring the US into a war before Trump becomes President, it's not going to happen. This is a serious act of treason against the United States by our current President.
All I can say is that despite our differences, it's been nice knowing you!
What’s love got to do with it
It's not about love, it's about security. If there is anything I've learned by listening to women in female spaces, that would be it. The second thing would be, You can't depend on a man for security. If you want to know why you are screwed (and not in the fun way) that's pretty much it.
More than a Ceiling (Parody of Boston)
I looked out this morning and the sun was gone
The rain fell down as I start my day
I tell myself, this really sucks
Cause I have to work when I'd rather play
More than a ceiling
(More than a ceiling)
That's keeping the rain out
(More than a ceiling)
I can't help but feeling
(More than a ceiling)
That my chances have all washed away
I feel my chances have all washed away
So many times I've tried to cope
But inside these walls that have kept me sane
I think of the things I could have done
While I watch the rain from my window pane
More than a ceiling
(More than a ceiling)
That's keeping the rain out
(More than a ceiling)
I can't help but feeling
(More than a ceiling)
That my chances have all washed away
I feel my chances have all washed away
When I'm tired and feeling old
I hide in my house to escape the day
and dream of a place that's safe and warm
I close my eyes and it slips away
More than a ceiling
(More than a ceiling)
That's keeping the rain out
(More than a ceiling)
I can't help but feeling
(More than a ceiling)
That my chances have all washed away
I feel my chances have all washed away
Chronologically Challenged Voters
Now that the election is over. There are a number of people who are deeply disturbed by the outcome. To a lot of those people, the America they woke up to on Wednesday morning is deeply racist and misogynist.
Now, in the aftermath, there were a lot of opinions as to why Harris lost and most of them were based on race and gender rather than policy. The first group was men. Men as a group are racist and highly misogynistic and would rather vote for a convicted rapist than a woman. The next group were white women. Black women and Hispanic women came out and voted along gender lines but for whatever reason, white women didn't show up in big enough numbers. Those women must have internalized misogyny, I sure most of them probably don't even realize it. They deserve our sympathy.
Most voters claimed that the economy and immigration were the key issues in this election, but the explanation that Kamala Harris didn't really make those people feel comfortable enough with her policies on those issues, absolutely cannot be the reason why she lost. The reason is because our country which was founded by white European men, is both racist and sexist. It's the only explanation that makes sense to these people.
While all of the above explanations could be the reason, there is one other idea that is floating around that is really interesting.
Even though Donald Trump won the popular vote, he ended up getting about 3 million less votes in 2024 than he did in 2020. Kamala on the other hand, got 20 million less votes in 2024 than Joe Biden did in 2020. So, the question that a lot of people are asking is, "Where did those 20 million votes go?!" They didn't go to Trump, and they didn't go to any of the minor party candidates. Didn't those people know that this election is the most important election of our lifetime? (apparently not) Do they not think Trump is as evil now as he was in 2020? (again no) Are those people so lazy that they can't be bothered to vote this time? (maybe) Did twenty million people just suddenly not care about democracy? (I suppose it's possible) It's like those votes just VANISHED into thin air! It's almost like those votes never existed in the first place.
You might think at this point I'm going to go to some conspiracy theory to explain the discrepancy, but I'm not. The truth is a lot more disturbing. Jon Stewert of the Daily Show went on the streets of New York the day after the election and asked people if they were going to vote today, many people said that they were and all of them had no idea that the election was over! So, I'm thinking those 20 million people stayed home because they didn't know there was an election on Tuesday! Kamala didn't do enough to get the chronologically challenged voters out to the polls, and it cost her the election!
Election Day (parody of U2)
Yeah
[Verse 1]
Nothing is quiet on Election Day
A nervous world gets underway
They want to frighten you, frighten you night and day
Nothing changes on Election Day
On Election Day
[Chorus]
They will be scaring you again
They will be scaring you again
[Verse 2]
although the sky is clear
A crowd has gathered in hope and fear
The Enlighted, the chosen few
The newspaper says, says
[Pre-Chorus]
Say it's true, it's true
if you want to break through
vote with us and
We can be one
[Chorus]
They will be scaring you again
They will be scaring you again
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, oh, oh-oh-oh
[Instrumental Break]
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh, maybe the time is right
Oh, maybe tonight
[Chorus]
They will be scaring you again
They will be scaring you again
[Verse 3]
And so we're told we better get in line
Trust in the process, it will all be fine
They want to frighten you, frighten you night and day
But nothing changes on Election Day
[Outro]
on Election Day
on Election Day
on Election Day
Bad Behavior
As I peruse posts regarding gender relations. I have noticed a reoccurring theme, and that theme is bad behavior. Regardless of whether you are male or female, if you are putting up with bad behavior, according to the wisdom of the internet, you are a moron who has no self-respect.
You want to talk about love, get out of here with that nonsense! The important thing in a relationship is how you personally benefit from it and if you are pouring in emotional labor with no payoff, you are being horribly abused. Don't expect anyone to feel sorry for you though, you're the one who is putting up with it.
In an age where we have moved past merely surviving, it's about quality of life and if your partner is emotionally abusing you, that's no life! The internet teaches us that people will do the absolute bare minimum to get what they want and if you let them get away with that, you deserve the hell you have put yourself through. All the red flags where there, you just chose to ignore them because you're projecting your fantasy on someone who only wants to take advantage of you.
In a world where the media sells us fantasies, you need to stop believing the lie that people care about you. You need to stop believing the lie that your "person" is out there waiting for you to find them. The only thing your "person" is interested in is sucking the life out of you and consuming all your resources.
Wow, that went downhill fast. Anyway, maybe you are not reading the same stuff I am but if you are, you are probably looking for a bridge to jump off of. Hopefully there are none close by. Through all the disillusionment there is some truth to be found, but the road to get there is as depressing as hell.
Speaking Truth to Power
The Democratic Party used to be the party of liberals. The Democratic Party used to be the party of unions and workers. The Democratic party used to be the anti-war party. It's not anymore.
Democrats used to be for free speech. Now they cheer censorship. Why is that? It's not that hard to understand. When you're the ones in power, you want everyone else to shut the hell up. You don't want people questioning your actions and motives. You don't want to be held accountable for your crappy decisions.
World War III
Kamala Harris will be the next president of the United States, and she will start World War III. When Kamala Harris does interviews, she doesn't say much. In fact, she comes across to me as someone who doesn't really have a grasp on what is going on. Whether you share my opinion or think anyone must be better than Trump, it doesn't matter how she comes across. The real power in our country has chosen her as the next President, so that is what is going to happen. all the "election" stuff is just a formality.
At this point you may be thinking I'm some kind of conspiracy nut. A conspiracy nut would believe that the government is using a weather modification device to destroy half the country in order to keep the wrong people from voting. A conspiracy nut would think that a worldwide Pandemic was released on purpose to affect the 2020 election. My reasons are actually based in logic.
When you are a Billionaire, you have a lot more to lose than the homeless guy pushing a shopping cart, or pretty much every other person in the world with the exception of fellow Billionaire's. A lot of things can happen to really screw up your life just by the sheer number of resources at your command. So, what you want to do is try and control as much of that as possible. Make no mistake, people want your billions of dollars for themselves, so you have to be in control of as much as possible to make sure that doesn't happen. Furthermore, rules and regulations and laws that governments pass affect you a lot more than the unwashed masses, so manipulating politics is pretty much essential to your survival. The people that want to take all your stuff are trying to influence government and it's important that you beat them to it, or you could find yourself pushing a shopping cart.
Now when you are talking about the kind of power that the government wields, that's not something you just "give up" because some moron casted a vote. That kind of power you hold on to. To hold on to that power, you have to make sure the right person "wins" the election. In most elections, they pick the people who run and since all the people who are running are on their team, they don't care who wins.
The problem is when someone runs who isn't on their team, they get rid of those people in the primary, but what if they slip up and let someone through who is not approved. That happened in 2016, and they weren't prepared for it. That's why Trump won the election. In 2020 they "fixed" it. Trump is the first President in the history of our country to get more votes the second time he ran than he did the first time he ran and lose. In fact all the "predictors" of the election pointed to Trump winning reelection and 2020 was the first time those "predictors" failed. The reason they failed is because the powers that be were not going to let Trump win the Presidency and they are not going to let him win this time either.
You may be asking yourself, why do you think Kamala is going to start World War III? It's the same reason that they won't let Trump be President again. Russia, China, Brazil and a few other nations have set up a competing economic system to fight the United States. That directly threatens the power of the dollar. If you think that prices are high now, you haven't seen anything yet. If this new economic engine is allowed to gain steam, our whole economy is in danger. That's a problem for the billionaires who rely on the economic system for their wealth. They don't want this competing banking system to ruin them. So, to keep that from happening, it's off to war we go!
For those of you who think I'm being a bit dramatic, it's because the kind of power I am talking about is a realm that few people enter, and fewer people survive and you either take care of business or your dead. That's not something that many people can relate to.
Donald Trump had no idea what he was getting himself into when he became President, he knows now and if he is elected President again, it's revenge time, and the people that screwed him over the first time are well aware of that fact. If you think they are going to just let that happen, you must not know human nature very well.
I got mine
This is a parody of the Billy Idol song "The dead next door"
I can't say
why love fades away
over time
You come to me
in ecstasy
but love is blind
before love fades
I got mine
I think of you
how you never knew
how much I cried
I face the day
after you've gone away
I nearly died
before love fades
I got mine
before love fades
I got mine
