I hate when people describe themselves as “warrior poets.” I have literally been a warrior poet. This claim shouldn’t bother me, but it does. Strangely, I don’t care a whit if someone wears a military uniform or patches or whatever that they didn’t earn. I just don’t care about that in the least though you’d think it should bother me more.
But for some reason, it grates on my nerves when someone describes themselves as a “warrior poet.” I don’t understand why but it nevertheless does.
The advantage of doing science is that it gives you a chance to articulate a better philosophy, one based on more reasonable (in the non-normative sense of that word) principles and precepts.
The biggest strike against the left is their de facto yet well-concealed belief in open borders. Most of them aren’t (yet) stupid enough to come out and say outright that’s what they believe, but it is. And at least 85% of Americans would rightly be against the moronic open borders idea and would never vote for or support anyone like that.
Against open borders or even the hint of that, Trump wins. Kavanaugh wins. A dead cat wins. That’s the truth, like it or no.
I could never work in retail as I would go to jail, guaranteed. The minute someone threatened me, touched me, or harassed me, I would destroy them and make them regret being alive. Then I would go to jail. And it would be worth it.
I’ve been working out more and more recently. Today, I measured my resting heart rate for the first time in a while, which is a rough measure of progress. It was 54bpm. This is quite low! When I was in the army, I had a resting heart rate in mid-40s. I doubt I will ever get it that low again, but wouldn’t be surprised to hit an even 50bpm when I get fitter.
Other than being sore, I’d forgotten how much better one feels when fit. Thinking is even improved a great deal.
The LA Times has the best-written story I’ve seen so far about the hurricane devastation.
Winds at 155mph are, by the way, 2.4x stronger than 100mph winds (measured by PSF), not 1.5x stronger. I think this is often overlooked when reporting about hurricanes and when people evaluate their danger. It only takes ~138mph wind to exert twice the wind pressure of 100mph.
Many places I used to visit in Florida are now gone. That’s not “my” part of Florida, but I’ve been there quite a few times.
I don’t have social anxiety; I just don’t like talking to people. The only thing that makes my heart rate rise is working out. Everything else, not so much.
I’m not shy either; see above.
You can tell someone is a centrist when they get all haughty because you refuse to vote for the lesser evil. See that word “evil” in there? It means something.
Anyway, centrists are really just puppets of the rich, so who gives a crap what they say or think? This country’s problems are probably beyond being solved by politics alone.
