Part 1

A man is traveling by foot when he sees a party of merchants walking in the opposite direction. With that party is a donkey who is heavily burdened with all the merchandise. The man noticing the donkey ready to collapse, states, "That donkey is carrying too much! Take off some of those things so that he does not die from exhaustion!"

The merchants take a look at the donkey and see that the man is correct. They start to discuss among themselves what they should do.

I have a theory about the supposed increase in autists. The internet is to blame. Not simply because people can look up terms and mis-diagnose themselves (though this is part of it), but rather that the internet has the unfortunate side effect of allowing people to be "terminally online."

When you are doing the vast majority of your communication through text alone, you are missing most of the actual communication you would get in a natural social situation (vocal inflections, emotions)

For anyone who wants marriage and family in their future, I have some advice:

Don't marry wrong. If that means not marrying at all, so be it.

It is indeed better to not marry at all than to make the wrong choice on who to marry. I will never tell any man that they have an obligation to get married, because in spite of the fact that I am married myself, I understand that my path is not one that can or should be prescribed to all other men.

Had a big brain moment this evening. I needed to get a new shirt ironed, and I found the ironing board, but I could not find the iron.

But then I thought for a moment, what is an iron? In the end, it's just a warm piece of metal. So I took out a metal pan, heated it on the stove, and used the hot pan as my iron. And it worked, problem solved.

Got a Dad joke for everyone about the failed Trump assassin:

It really should not be a shock that he tried to kill President Trump, after all he comes from a family of Crooks!

Funny thing about the Trump assassination attempt, there is already a whole lot of speculation asking what is really going on. A gay-op that failed, or is Trump surviving the assassination attempt the gay-op itself?

We no longer live in a time where we can trust that events playing out are authentic and heterosexual, because we cannot trust our own government, media, and other powers to not be fake and gay themselves.

Whenever I see any talk about "inflation going down" or "deflation is coming," I get why this propaganda is being put out, but it is completely retarded if you understand that even a slight decrease in prices or a slowing of inflation is not going to help much.

It is like going from 60 mph to 90 mph and then hitting the breaks a little to go 85 instead. "See, we are slowing down now!" The going slower by 5 mph is not as important to factor in the long term when 60 was previously the norm.

Doing overhead press, trying to up my numbers. I was recently able to do 145 lbs for 5 reps, so I figured I try with 150 lbs. I only get 3 reps. Not sure why I could not at least get 1 more rep, but I am not upset by this outcome. I remember when I could not even do a 1 plate overhead press for 1 rep.

Can't take credit for finding this. Though I did check to see that it was a recent post, and it was (2 days ago).

Is this just a shill post attempting to get others to go over and fight for Ukraine, or a genuine idiot who would actually throw his life away because he is stupid enough to believe the globohomo media that he would be "fighting for democracy?"

Could go either way, but it reflects a sad mindset either way.

I think a lesson of history in the future is that patriotism is a good indicator of whether or not your country will last. If people do not love their country, why would they fight for it? Countries that still have patriotism are far more likely to persist than those without. I see the destruction of patriotism as a major mistep by the Cathedral, as they have no means to sustain themselves if the citizens are apathetic about maintaining their own country.

I see mass immigration as a strong factor that weakens the sense of patriotism for the people who are the traditional heritage citizens of that country. Just what is the point of being a patriot and loving your country if entry for many foreign people is allowed, many of which are only there for economic reasons and do not share or worse, oppose your values. What is the point of your country if it is just a place to make money?
