allets commented on: WW3 Welcome To Reality by LittleLennonGurl 4 years 34 weeks* ago* We Watch: . We watch Own no yardstick to measure future's goals. The Amazon has dry skin, fire and sere waves rise. A child wails in Somalia. . Big pictured, we raise tariff levels, cut off cash flow, back danger into an empty corner. . Men cry for losses and charge, gun held close. World warms up silos and run end of homo sapiens drills. . Lady A . [ go to comment ]

Spinoza commented on: IMAGES by joy 4 years 34 weeks* ago* Begin in the Mirror : Wherever there’s something to be gained, there’s war. Be it in your back yard… across the street… or across the world. War Is a Racket as Smedley Butler put it, in 1935. I reckon it’s been that way for thousands of years. It’s one of the unfortunate aspects of humanity. I don’t reckon we’ll ever see a cure for it, outside of divine intervention. And that might be coming too, very soon. But the one thing you can do, as John pointed out below – is start with the man in the mirror. Or woman, as it may be. It’s the one thing we can do. Because our soul is our real estate, and that’s always the best place to begin. ~/~ [ go to comment ]
Spinoza commented on: Last of the Mohicans by Spinoza 4 years 34 weeks* ago* Buckle-up – the ride is just starting : What boggles my mind most, is the open/widespread criminality manifesting everywhere. There is no tiny corner untouched by it. The entire world, its politics, its medicine, its agriculture, its institutions of learning, the corporate media, the tech giants, the regulatory agencies… the entire apple, is rotten to the core. It’s like we’re in the midst of some Lord of The Rings Trilogy, in that epoch when evil spreads its tentacles everywhere. What’s on the other side of this, is anyone’s guess. Whatever it is, it’s going to be a hell of a roller-coaster ride. ~/~ [ go to comment ]
allets commented on: Help Ukraine by LittleLennonGurl 4 years 34 weeks* ago* A billion about to be Approved: . They need 18 billion. Yes - send it. An orange here costs $1.69. Borrow it, support Ukraine and Afghanistan and 1 orange will cost $2.00. Cause/effect. Yemen babies are starving. Ethiopian babies are dying. Drought this summer will kill significant poulations in Africa and migration will trend upward. Haiti needs a billion. usa's infrastructure and climate cost will commence with April showers. Then fire in drought afflcted West Coast. Hmmmm... . And uber rich refuse to pay 50% tax. A billion here, a billion there eventually is going to turn into some real money. usa is broke! . Note: Dollars for weapons and bullets and drones - to fall in Russian troop's hands ultimately, as they take more cities.. . ~A~ . [ go to comment ]
allets commented on: Diminutive Effacacy by allets 4 years 34 weeks* ago* $1.79 per orange.: At little market near me. Came down to $1.69 - definitely headed to the rotten discount bin. If usa did not permit loss deduction to food retailers, prices would fall fast. ~A~. [ go to comment ]
grimfate commented on: Insomniadal Maniac by grimfate 4 years 34 weeks* ago* I totally understand: I get it mainly between jobs, in the lull, when my body isn't tired from hard graft so yeah I try to expand on the more artistic side in these times. I don't suffer from it massively nor regulary unlike some poor souls, it's like inverted life, you get up at 05:00 and work so without the work my body decides its staying awake until then to goto sleep instead ha!

lyrycsyntyme commented on: Controlled Demolition by lyrycsyntyme 4 years 34 weeks* ago* Likewise, I seldom recall: Likewise, I seldom recall dreams. Unless they are nightmares. They seem, too often, to provoke the memory gears to start grinding away. Seems that your sails have found their latest wind. Nice to celebrate a good day 'out at sea' by pulling the sail down, floating on the calm, laying on the deck and sleeping under the evening stars for a few hours, in a manner of speak. Yes, an out of order rest is often a sign of the best day. Inner peace and satisfaction, I think it is ; ) May it have you nice and fresh for tomorrow : ) [ go to comment ]
grimfate commented on: Insomniadal Maniac by grimfate 4 years 34 weeks* ago* A mind without purpose will wander in dark places: You are not wrong, we all do need to switch it all off and relax, slow the pace and just listen to somthing soothing... But somtimes just sometimes In the darkest of dark places we can find somthing truly brilliant :) [ go to comment ]
allets commented on: Neo-Tzar by allets 4 years 34 weeks* ago* The Uber Tax: . Crashing world economy may be an option for Vlad. Loan payments in default. Did not exoect usa dollars frozen urretrievably. Hmmmm... Russian people know suffering, will share fate of Ukraine, people are condemned with their leader. See post war Germans. usa? We got 4 year comic relief with the orange tupee guy - a distraction while Afghanis suffered (Note: no longer a headline). That's what super powers do, invade and kill and leave mess behind. usa is rusting away and already "senators" talking rebuilding Ukraine. How abiut rebuilding usa? . Unless China gets there first, again on our dime. India lopped a missile at Pakistan (in error?). Now? If we mistep into wwiii, old enemies will look to get revenge for centuries of slanders and scrimmages. Israel as mediator, a hoot! Ask Palestinians. . Imagine a missile hitting New York, Chicago, Detroit (u c what I did there). Or a Tom Clancy book realized. We have a lot to fear; we've been killing children since 1776ish. 1/3 world wants us dead, 1/3 wants our lifestyle, 1/3 are victims of our foreign policies. How did the anti-missile shield invented by Israel shared partially with usa turn out? Anyone? Anyway, Uber rich can pay the bill at 50% tax rate for a year; just vanish a couple of deductions. Clean up the debt - it's what Dems do. The GOP is coming for Biden and his Cadre. . ~A~ [ go to comment ]
allets commented on: Controlled Demolition by lyrycsyntyme 4 years 34 weeks* ago* I Took A Walk: Did me good today, slept 7p to 12a, I seldom remember dreams. Controlled demolition - hense the need to grow it back, recharge, reset! Wish me lyck - heading fir general motirs headquarters's - Hart Plaza tomorrow - if I can walk. The River Walk in Detroit at 62 degrees outside, may reach the Dequitndre Cut, but that is too ambitious maybe. 72 yr old bones will send me home to rest first. Resetting. . ~A~ :D [ go to comment ]
allets commented on: Insomniadal Maniac by grimfate 4 years 34 weeks* ago* Unplug: . I sleep like two logs - low anxiety, low industry level daily. At 72 and rerired, no tons of human input. I turn off all electronic devices, radio and tv and listen to classical music for a week (Recirds LPs. Something soothing, your old album collection (cd's). Unplug. I fast iccasionally too. Flick the mental switch and think in detail of pleasant memories/events. Read humorous literature. Laughter is the best medicine! Go to the library or a museum. Chill, fill mind with spomething calming. Insomniatude is inevitable, but flick the switch in your mind and control ideation. I have a 4am poem - I empathize. . Excellent write on a comman human occurrence. . ~A~ [ go to comment ]
lyrycsyntyme commented on: Help Ukraine by LittleLennonGurl 4 years 34 weeks* ago* No mushroom clouds yet: WW3 requires the world's involvement to happen. Right now, it's a regional conflict. Your emotions probably match the emotions of many of the people living there. Your convey them really strongly in this write, and it's easy to imagine many people in Kiev might feel the same. Yet those outside of a situation are always the one's who have the best chance to see it as rationally as possible. This is a conflict within 1 nation's borders. It's terrible, but it's covering less than 1 percent of the globe. A no fly zone would greatly risk a conflict that destroys 90% of the globe, if not more. Because if Russia calls our bluff, and we're not bluffing, the intercontinental ballistic missiles likely start flying. There will be no Ukraine left to help, and many of the rest of us will be dust in the wind, as well. It doesn't sound like the answer. [ go to comment ]
lyrycsyntyme commented on: Last of the Mohicans by Spinoza 4 years 34 weeks* ago* Tribute to the bonds friendship, the cage bars of loss,: ..a spotlight on the spinning wheel of mortality. I am sorry that you've had to see them go. Not knowing them, I can't help but mourn most for your most recently loss. Seems that at least one, if not both your other two friends, died doing things they loved. Your friend Mike died being kept from what he loved. The tragedy of which seems greatest of all, and quite criminal. A recent study suggests your friend is far from alone, in one sense or another, finding twice as many people have likely died from policy decisions around sars-covi-2 than from the disease itself (not to mention the people who died from the disease but could have been saved if better medical advice and access to various not-so-profitable treatments were given). My dad very possibly was one of them. He was bed ridden in a hospital. My mom, myself, or other family took turns staying with him daily, and watching his medical treatment closely. He could not speak for himself, due to his condition. In March of 2020, the hospital barred us from seeing him, then moved him to a nursing home against my mom's will. We were finally allowed to see him nearly 15 months later, the day he would ultimately die. The funeral home told us that they had never seen bed sores so bad in their 4 decade history as a family business. Anyway, I mean not to hijack your mournful write, only to share that, in a way, I can relate at least to your latest loss. I think many, many people can. I hope you can find some solace, and I think you have done real honor to all 3 of your friends, and what you all have shared, with this write. [ go to comment ]
