After a 1,000 feet in the air, the toilet becomes available.

Don’t do drugs

Don’t do sex

I’m indigenous Canadian and both my parents survived residential school in the 50s. Residential school for indigenous people back then was forced on us, especially for children where they were systematically abused by Christian missionaries. Mom was not so abused but dad was terribly traumatized to the point where sex and anything sexual or remotely sexual was forbidden. Just about everything in life to him meant burning in everlasting hell. Drugs were no different but less so.

So our indigenous Christian home just dealt with it all by forbidding everything.

How did it turn out?

I have seven siblings and we all ended up with alcohol and drug addiction by the time we were teenagers. I cleaned up early and I’ve been sober for 29 years, all my other siblings never fell off the deep end (thank God) but I’m the only one who got officially ‘sober’.

I didn’t have kids but everyone else in my family did before anyone was married. One of my younger brothers picked up the slack for me by having children with four women. I have over 40 nieces and nephews, some by the family, some brought in, some married in and others illegitimate.

We’re all one big happy family … but we’re all gonna burn in hell. Lol

Maybe we were all dead inside to begin with … and then we created an internet that offered nothing of value in return.

The living will envy the dead

Mine is wear a medical grade mask in public spaces.

It does multiple things.

First it protects you from air borne pathogens like viruses and especially COVID.

Second, if you are confronted or people get mad at you for wearing one, it immediately let’s you know what kind of people are around. If they’re the type that will get mad at you for wearing a mask, it’s definitely a place to leave and avoid in the future. A mask is a great way to weed people out in public.

My wife has lifelong lung problems now and we can’t risk any infections. So wearing a mask is necessary for me … and at this point in my life, it’s normal now and I find that it’s normal for most people. 90% of the people that see me in a mask notice but immediately understand and don’t make an issue of it. It’s 10% of the loudest idiots that make it a problem and a mask is a great way to unmask them (pun intended)

My story didn’t mean to imply how to become a millionaire … it’s a story of how to live within your means

All my property value is probably less than one small urban apartment and all my old vehicles are worth less than one brand new car.

I work for myself and don’t bother expanding. It all just means that the money I make was only for myself and only within my means. My house would probably be looked at like a country bumpkin but I’m not a right wing libertarian … I’m actually a liberal supporting socially minded leftist who also supports minorities and LGBT and women’s rights.

I’m indigenous Canadian and from the very start of my life I knew I was on my own so I had to live that way … but it didn’t mean that I gave up supporting others around me who were dealing with the same issues.

Or … don’t bother going to school and just work in construction and manual labor in your own small business.

It’s what I did for myself and now I own four properties and several vehicles without any debt. It’s all remote properties and all my vehicles are all old used and well worn … but at least I own everything outright.

Yay!! For the economy and investors!!!

Right!!?

Right?

+1 for The Chrysalids … read it on English class in high school and loved it

I don’t think so because every so often in my life people have told me to … go fuck myself

It’s an act that many of us would condone for others … especially Larry, he’s a real jerk, he can go fuck himself

Lol … society is suffering from the same short comings and ignorance humanity has always dealt with.

Our made up kings and queens believe they own the world and are surprised when they don’t have full control over anything or anyone.

Swappable hard drives

I have a ThinkPad with easy access to the hard drive. It’s one screw, remove a small panel and slide out the hard drive, slide in a new hard drive and reinstall the panel and screw. It all takes about a minute.

I have a drive for my Linux setup and another for windows.

I gave up setting up dual boot setups because I’m not as skilled or capable and I’ve lost entire setups in the past due to updates and changes and it was constantly frustrating for me. So I figured that just swapping hard drives was the easiest for me. No configuration, no changes and neither OS can interfere with one another.

I use my Linux as my daily driver for everything and windows when I need something from windows. I only ever use windows maybe once a month or once every second month. I spend more time regularly updating windows than in actually using it.

Does this mean that she’ll end up dying in an atomic explosion?

Then everything dies down … the corps eventually figure out the no one likes the meme anymore so they toss the meme out too…

… Time passes …

… then someone new finds this old meme again and it reappears as a new meme once again.

Then the cycle starts again.

Mining CEO: is there a cheaper way to deliver this mineral rich material to the surface of the earth?

Mining scientist: YES! We can redirect the asteroid towards the planet and make it land on the surface!

Mining CEO: how much will this cost?

Mining scientist: probably billions of lives.

Mining CEO: … No no … I mean how much money will this save us and how much money will we make?

And cause uncontrollable diarrhea

For a guy fighting against terminal cancer with no hope of help, he sure was quick to use euthanasia on someone that could have had lots of options in treatment.

I once shot an elephant in my pants … how it got in my pants I don’t know

Groucho Marx

He seems happy about it

The way they explained it me is … it was the first time most young people back then could do so, especially with the newly introduced TV system where young people everywhere could get excited about the same thing with everyone around them.

It was a time of firsts… everything or most pop culture trends we get bored with today were considered new and exciting back then. And the Beatles were the first modern international pop band that everyone were excited for.
