actually it might have not been a suicide. the cause has not been made public. he might as well just dies of heart attack. but i think suicide is more likely, just a feeling.
i've just learned that a local guy that was making youtube cigar reviews off'd himself three weeks ago at the age of 45. a day before he was hanging out with the cigar folks like usual. didn't knew him, didn't watched him actively, just new of him because he was "prominent" in local cigar circles being the main reviewer. but it's always strange when someone is just gone like that.
@TenaciousGoat 30 is life-changing. i think that is when men actually complete their maturation, mentally and physically. i remember a switch went off in my head almost on the day and i became more proactive and assertive and other things changed in my life. it was a distinctive observable shift.
i think that the trump derangement syndrome and the russia derangement syndrome are merely manifestation of lack of religion in modern society. just like the whole wokenes crap. most people simply need something that is beyond reach of the real world to believe in in order to make it through their day. it might have something to do with our origins, going way back to the sumerian gods and how we came to be(if you subscribe to that theory).
ah, yes. the spy ship, pretending to be an oil tanker, that cuts undersea cables in the middle of the day is totally a thing
When do we stop calling it Germany and need to come up with a new name though?

a sub-4 minute 1 mile run used to be impossible, until it wasn't.
a sub-10 seconds 100m sprint used to be impossible, until it wasn't.
a 500kg deadlift used to be impossible, until it wasn't.
all this means that humans are limiting themselves more by simple belief that something is not possible instead of actual reality they live in.
i think this goes for any aspect of life. whether it is business, sport or anything else. we can do much more if we start believing in ourselves more.
@RegalBeagle the thing is that the most useless people are in the government, because normal people have skills and aspirations. so by a strange aspect of human nature we are ruled by the worst people suitable for the job.
@Tfmonkey some could and would actually argue things were objectively better under the communists. and indeed they were. but overall it were shit times.
@Tfmonkey not sure about the middle-east, not my forte, but you need to understand that soviet communists destroyed the entire central and eastern europe. so people still hold a grudge. it has been only 30 years, so most people alive today have it fresh in their memory. yes, russia today is completely different animal altogether, but it is still russia and that is hard pill to swallow and get over. although believe it or not, a lot of people reminiscent about the times under the communists.
@sardonicsmile but the college that your child goes to and theirs goes to are quite different.
Because you still have hope that this war will end with your honor intact. Stand in the ashes of a trillion dead souls, and ask the ghosts if honor matters. The silence is your answer.
