So. Your co worker NEVER watches TV? You know? Where swearing is everywhere.

1. New Orleans, Superdome, Katrina. - What went on in there, really. And within a mere day or two; truly, we are just animals wearing clothes.

2. Being a part of my own Government’s effort to deploy it’s “flagship climate program” worth a billion+ $. Realising, it’s just tax money that’s getting fed upon by industry, with very little actual effect. Also, seeing the climate data and its undeniability in regards to imminent collapse (5-7 y) combined with our utter lack of action.

A few others as well, but two come to mind quickly.

I am soured on humans. I have no faith in our species anymore.

Hey, I’m down.

You can have 40 songs all named the same. No legal recourse. IANAL, JAM.

(Just a musician).

AKA “a fart walk”

Completely disagree! I’m into axe’s. Have been four years. Shit, anything with an edge.

I’ll tell you something straight up, a dull axe is dangerous. A dull axe glances. A sharp axe sticks.

Period.

Hi! Canada here, e we export s fair bit of quality bud, Bud ;)

Basically it says to me “Fuck your for being/showing/reminding me that you are smarter/more informed/more reasoned/more compassionate than me!”

Same applies to “woke”.

It’s how it’s said that speaks volumes.

Seconded!

Both statements.

I think Last of the Mohicans as well was filmed here too.

If, and it’s a big IF, the electronic voting system software is legit.

So easy to do. Or, used to be.

With the soundtrack of Caravan of Fools, by John Prine.

Literally? Buy some heroin.

Aftermath might not be so good though.

Ya. Water stones, imo, demand quality.

However, you can get a hunting knife razor sharp using that crappy little grey stone that came with it, and some spit.

Waaay nicer using quality though.

I have a 1000 and a 4000 in fine water stones.

I have a decent strop. I have a decent steel.

Once the edge is on it, this is all I need.

Note, I also have some very coarse stones and some finer grits as well. I use them to either change the edge in a knife entirely, or you know? Get crazy sharp sometimes with a polished fine edge. Getting crazy sharp never lasts in the kitchen for long though. I’m talking my crazy, everyone thinks my knives are normally razors anyway and I rarely go higher than 4000 grit.

Book: Replay, by Grimwood.

We used to make “Whore’s Martinis”.

Same as a regular one, you just hand pour over a single cube of ice and toss in an olive, onion, lemon, whatever. Stir with your finger and go. No straining, no stir stick, no measuring, one cube of ice.

Longer than you think! Chilled me.

Headlines: “Trump elected President”.

Short answer?

Because people always choose what’s easy.

Buying into hatred, fear, mistrust and rhetoric is, in the end, just easier than working out the progressive thought processes to arrive at what is deemed to be societally more beneficial.

Combine that with the serotonin rush that comes with the outrage culture and its enablers…

…and there you go.

We are just stupid apes in the end.
