These Bluetooth speakers that have become one of the banes of our existence are the modern equivalent of the “boom box.” I don’t know why those people can’t just invest in a set of earphones and spare the rest of us. Anyone that can afford a Bluetooth speaker can afford a set of earphones that would deliver even better sound. And those listening directly from their phone’s speakers are obviously not concerned about sound quality, so they could get by with a cheapo. Don’t like earbuds sticking in your ears? I have a “bone conduction” headset that allows me to listen privately without sticking anything in my ears—they sit behind the ear. I highly recommend them if you need earphones.
As for the coof, although I know at least one old woman who was blinded and then died just after getting jab #1, I don’t know anyone that has come down with cancer since the jabs went around. But many I know who got them seem to be getting sick much more often than they used to, and are taking longer to recover. I avoided the jabs myself like the plague, but it became difficult to avoid the mask cosplay here in California if you wanted to enter mundane places like the grocery store—if you walked in unmasked (ignoring the signage at the door), soon some upstanding member of the public would work up the nerve to mildly scold you about it, if not worse. So I came up with my own workaround; when someone would ask me “Where’s your mask?”, I would simply reply “Oh, I’m exempt” and keep walking. No one ever pushed it. (If they had, I was going to say the doctor gave it to me, then if they asked who, I'd say "doc in the box", I don't remember his name, etc. I'm sure I'd have outlasted them.)
It is completely appropriate that Trump, who on numerous occasions has said that the US is becoming a “banana republic,” is finally admitted he is failing downward, demoting himself to “President of Venezuela,” and only “Acting” at that. Of course, nowadays all of them are just actors.
I was asked who was my greatest teacher and I paused for a few seconds and I answered Linh Dinh.Thank you for making me aware of the “Voldemort”ruling over us peasants.The simple fact that mere mortals cannot call them out without being cancelled proves the enormous power they have over us.Since I am pragmatic I just call them “boss”..when the WASPS held power they acknowledge it and most tried to be noblesse oblige.
this is the end beautiful friend this is the end my only friend the end of our elaborate plan the end of everything that stands the end no safety or surprise the end I'll never look into your eyes again...opening verse from "The End" lyrics by Jim Morrison
Glad you are going elsewhere, Linh. Even the war zone looks more peaceful than phnom penh. Maybe some day you will be able to return to a truly civilized city like Philadelphia. That's a town in Greece, I believe. Was it ancient Greece though? The aluminum spray is confusing me these days.
