I like cats, dogs, pets, cooking, history, finding anomalies in AIs, and working on puzzles. I used to code. Not really into mainstream politics, and usually, I speak and type in complete sentences, but I have a tendency toward run ons. đ

Print the money! No will to. They use the national debt weapon to force payments for war, and they could also print more without a care of paying it back for infrastructure too but they donât: Weâre not in a position to fix a thing Trump doesnât fund.

Boundaries: These two think youâre attempting murder if you attenpt to pick them up too. Sweet otherwise.

I hear you but feral ferocity is itâs own deal comparatively. Iâm used to enormous dogs, Irish Wolfhounds, Newfoundlands, and a Great Pyrenees. They were born during a dog lull but it stuck. I donât know from domesticated versionsâ behavior except from friendsâ leg rubbers.

I did my share in my youth. I donât recommend any hallucinogens without adequate instruction and guides. The bounds of MKULTRA research are not known either. Whatâs the âbestâ course of use thatâs therapeutic for each person? Like all things, reactions vary, and especially here.

My born feral goofs are very friendly, all things considered, but belly rubs are a domesticated deal. Theyâd still rip up anyoneâs hand going there. But they are plenty cute, and spoiled, just the same.

âhuman metapneumovirus (HMPV)â, which is âspreading rapidly.â Faster than âweâ can quit the WHO?

Truth is just unwanted noise in the signals of national security.

Yet another big player in the modern crop of national security billionaires. PayPal mafia crony. They generate the new news and ops.

You have to run a lot of mental what-ifâs to pick the âbestâ routes to belief from any partisan media. You have to dump whole narratives too in favor of better: I think thatâs what holds up human progress, nostalgia for âhard-wonâbeliefs to still count for as much as possible. Next stop, denial.

18 back in the 70s: Then I took a Tolkien course next semester and found out the trilogy was definitely his best work by a lot. Turning the Hobbit into three movies was quite the stretch, but hey, the box office and streaming and merch dollars were way too easy not to keep fans flocking.

Size, topic, authorâs last name, predominantly non-fiction except for Gore Vidal and other historical novels. 10 shelves worth and those are the ones I like to peruse. I have plenty in boxes Iâm going to drive to Moeâs Books (Bezerkley) for store credit! I can spend hours on end in Moeâs.

Yeah, when four are descending the fence to get to the cats water bowl, the hose still comes out. I likeâem but the fleas they bring into the yard and then onto the cats are gargantuan. A lot of Wondercide and combing goes into keeping the kidsâ fleas tiny or absent.

Bring extra glasses, a few old pairs. With glasses that thick, youâd think Meredithâs character would have many pairs on the way to those bad eyes or at least carry a spare monocle. đ

More used books in independents, please. Thatâs where Amazon seems to be cornering the market. They donât digitize or reprint enough older gems. Thus, Abe and Amazon, when I donât feel like driving 100 miles to Moeâs Books! đ€

I see they contribute part of the profits to independent bookstores. I hope to used bookstores too. Not many left as excellent as Moeâs Books, if even another is nearly as good! I drive more than 100 miles there and back to seriously shop for hours.

Itâs good to have the numbers in mind, especially if you tend towards run-ons, because they can add a lot of unnecessary words in addition to flowery language and multi-syllable words where one syllable will do to linguistically facilitate an amelioration of written verbosity. đ
