@UncleIroh The battle for the youth certainly is a contentious one. I don't know if it's the real reason behind mass censorship, but it certainly is a large portion. I'll have to consider it more. Perhaps the propaganda geared toward the current middle class, middle-aged people is secondary to the objective of ensuring inculcation of the desired values in the youth?

On the note of the Will of the Force from Star Wars always seeking balance between the dark and the light, if the dark is using the force for your own will, and light is letting yourself be used by the force, on the surface you have few options. While we could explore the idea of your will being the Will of the Force as all return to the Force on death, unfortunately we have a clash of eastern and western thought which is not easily reconcilable. It's better to simply study philosophy.

@susie A solid choice. Spinach works well with multiple spice palettes.

@VD15 Accurate.

@UncleIroh Amen.

@UncleIroh Indeed. Most people don't think to ask why something is done a certain way or bother to investigate if it always was. The current year is always assumed to be the best (or at least better than prior years in all ways).

It doesn't help that most people's philosophical repertoire is as expansive as a series of platitudes and truisms.

@TimeSpent That is one upset cat!

@Justicar That looks terrible.

@Shlomo Accurate.

@UncleIroh @Kagekokoro @Stahesh It's difficult to pin it to a few things, but I'm certain the weight of guilt placed upon them by the victors of WWII did not help.

@sickburnbro It's hard to say how long it will take for prices to rise further, but it's a good reason to stock up like everyone should have been doing this whole time.

@MrpoopyButhole Long live the king!

@MrpoopyButhole It's basically tradition at this point that I use the default modified in some way. Maybe I'll change it in the future.

@UncleIroh I'm happy to see someone use IFF correctly.

@UncleIroh
Given these countries' behaviors, it seems they do not feel compelled to act with haste, which makes sense. They do not seem to emotionally expect or need the "touchdown", "knockout punch" victory.

Even if Russia and Iran know that nuclear war is on the horizon, since time is on their side, why would they not continue to bleed the Regime? What have they to gain by striking now?

@UncleIroh I agree!
Every tool should be available for analysis, especially if it could give you an insight into how someone else thinks. Understanding the other person's worldview provides a great deal of information.

Part of knowing thy enemy is knowing their ontological foundation and their personal cosmology.

@Shadowman311 They're classified as whatever the government(s) need them to be so as to make them more vulnerable to their coercion.

@VooDooMedic She's a thot; that is universal to all ethnic groups' females.

@PapaPole Windows: Notepad++ is the easiest. Sublime should also have it.
