I think it's dangerous to think of him as stupid. He's undoubtedly stupid. But he's also cunning in the same way a raccoon is. It's not raw intelligence, it's some kind of freak skill at saying what others want to hear. And his reward isn't getting into a garbage can in an alley, it's attention. He loves it.

So thinking of him as stupid is dangerous. Because when he gets attention, there's a segment that want that same attention and get it by being more extreme and acting. Something Trump can't do on his own (again, too stupid, lazy, and incompetent) but he can make others do his bidding.

And there's something about that ignorant, blind grasping for negative attention torn from a toddlers playbook but fueled by shitty beer, childhood trauma, and macho bravado mistaken for actual motivation that can be deadly.

Awesome, l will check this out. I have certain ideas about this that are personal (no proof) so always interested in anything like this.

If there were no people, would there be a national consciousness? If such a think exists, it is the sum of parts, so it is partially within the body (if what you say is real).

Would they even stack up to California in terms of economic activity?

I'm aware, just pointing out it's hardly a unique situation.

This is so far from vandalism that's it's completely virtuous. This makes the world a better place and costs almost nothing.

Laundry: I use "laundry bags", they cost about the same as hampers. I keep them in my bathroom and office (work from home) because I have to start work much earlier than my family so get dressed there in the morning. They are portable, don't look that messy (just a black bag) and easy to tote around when full.

Edit - forgot to mention (of course) that a big bonus for having one of these in my office which is near our kitchen and living area is I throw all the socks people take off and hoodies, dish cloths, etc into it which keeps the dog from stealing them and keeps the main area tidier.

Yeah, 150k for the entire country seems like very few. Here's the stats just for the Port of Los Angele: https://www.portoflosangeles.org/business/statistics/container-statistics

I'm sure he's also asked his doctor for something stronger than UK Sudafed or whatever it was that his desk drawer was stuffed with.

I feel like I'm caught in a landslide, no escape from reality.

My brother has worked in that field forever. You will get shocked even if very cautious but he's never been seriously injured. Not saying it doesn't happen.

It's funny, I just realized artifact is installed on my phone (forgot about it) and noticed if I tell it to stop sending me Psychology Today articles (like 20 minute YouTube video that should be 30 seconds, but in article form) I just get more pop psych from another click bait source. Probably the next highest bidder.

At work on a quick break so can't right now but will try to later! Nothing crazy, very similar to yours.

I've worked in kitchens in really old buildings and had a couple of similar incidents, mostly at one restaurant. No one believes me, of course.

You may be joking but I have never questioned my own sanity and the fundamental nature of reality more in my life than in these past years.

I've always thought that they should have just named the properties something like P1, P2, etc. So there's no connotation.

And I believe things that come to light as a result can lead to further civil and criminal charges?

Gotta be Dale Hawerchuk.

I do this when time travel comes up, but more because I get tired of explaining the block universe theory and no one likes a guy that tries to convince them that they don't have Free Will.

A friend of my brother has the same name as a Muppet. Used to haul his ID out in bars and use it as an ice breaker. I mean he could have used "me like you" as an ice breaker, given his physical appearance, so not sure how much of an advantage this gave him.

Edit: just realized I inadvertently imitated Cookie Monster, but it was a different Muppet.
