Hope you had a good day, but if not it's still pretty cool that dozens of people around the world thought of you and wished you well. Future good days are made of stuff like that.

You're due for a good one, you deserve it.

On baby steps: my wife's family are all good at mountaineering. Here in Colorado the 14ers are considered cool to summit because we only have like 54 mountains with summits above 14000 feet elevation. I've done those but they've done Kilimanjaro and some in the Andes. Real climbing. Anyway- we're climbing something moderate here and she tells me to take two small steps to ascend the same distance I was doing with one giant gait. It's safer and more efficient to use small steps than to tire your quads and knees with a big stretch. I was like 35 years old before I learned this metaphorical and literal truth about baby steps. Do not tire yourself with flashy impressive shows of effort. Expend your energy for small ensured gains safe within your grasp. Marathon not sprint.

It sounds like you know exactly nothing about Indian nations and their relationships with neighboring local state and federal agencies, but are still happy to point accusatory questions at this new missing persons system, this legislative bill, and all parties involved in this process.

Many people offered superior solutions; mine would be redundant. A comment that precludes a detrimental unproductive "solution" is indeed productive. Did you try reading the other comments offering alternative solutions? Regarding correct venting? Have a good one.

I can't understand your insane word soup of commentary that always trails back to these weapons, which you can't give one instance of as an example. I'm not being provocative, I'm literally giving you many chances to explain either these weapons or how they're pertinent to someone's inherent inner traits.

No I didn't suggest inaction. I suggested not intentionally clogging a dedicated vent tube with a pool of water as per that incredibly bad idea.

1. You ignored the pertinent question of how these methods can take someone's inner character traits. 2. Not futuristic? Okay then simply name the place where we all will recognize this common technology being used. We can all easily name instances of every other kind of weapon being used including very recent ones like drones. 3. You seem to bring up these weapons repetitively as though they're more connected to your interests than to any particular article or topic.

Yeah even if you believe in futuristic laser microwave weapons that can target individual people, they'd just be another weapon. Weapons and torture and cruelty already exist, but as this quote posits: internal qualities within us cannot be taken away externally. Not by imprisonment or punishment or threat or torture. So how exactly do exterior directed energy weapons take away your inner traits of character, aptitude, and idiosyncratic personality?

Because.... As stated in the article, "the Senate Bill, signed into law by Colorado Gov. Jared Polis on July 1, 2022, acknowledged the unique challenges that stem from these cases, which includes poor and inconsistent reporting, lack of interagency cooperation, and misclassification of racial identity." Sovereign tribal nations have rough interagency cooperation with all the agencies you named plus especially with the FBI.

That would make a goose neck flask like in chemistry class. Or basically a P trap where you don't want one.

How so?

Ah yes all those times that people travel back in time to the past and all those times we consider our time travel. All those times. Because humans time travel.

They are cheapest close to coasts and ports. Los Angeles. Expensive In the middle of the continent.

He was on drugs, not a detestable hate filled racist. Drugs and mental illness do a lot of things but they don't make you hate specific groups of people and continually publicly share that hate.

But this meme was posted here a week ago. I refuse to accept that internet memes have more consistent tenacious longevity than humans. This is like lettuce outlasting a prime minister. Change is vital but in one person's overall makeup the prominent feature had better be steady characteristics not fluid changing ones. Because that person made of more change than stability would be insufferably self interested and unpredictable and unreliable.

To all my people who disagree, and feel like they settled because some amount of settling in life is perhaps sadly or perhaps not, necessary and mature and forced onto us: I respect us for knowing that success wears many faces, that our subjective small wins earned for ourselves are meaningful enough to outweigh the crushing large objective defeats foisted onto us by forces so large they don't even notice us, and for having calm ambitions of self sufficiency rather than egomaniacal ambitions of world domination. Yesterday was the last day of the past of your life. Ten years from now you can say well meaning smug billboards didn't out philosophize you.

I believe you and without sarcasm or humor I'm sorry people like that have any sway over your life. It may be just philosophically reframing, but i doubt people who know you or me will judge us as failures by any unfortunate proximity to those people or their damage. The industry I worked in and the specific business were also unfunny jokes. Perhaps you and I succeeded by not playing along with those unfunny punchlines. Here's to those bastards keeping misery to themselves.

No why would you or I be the one doing it? Especially as I apparently don't believe it exists? I've been in many jobs and schools and teams. Worked with and for many people in many fields. In what high stakes fast paced competitive world do you live where people freeze you and gun for you? Or you do that to others? And do you think at the end of their lives people look back and think about their success and failure, they think small petty thoughts about being frozen out of that job or gunned for on that team? Again this sounds like childish scapegoating. Feel fee to give me examples i may be overlooking.

I didn't claim that. But if you look for anyone or anything other than yourself to attribute your personal success or failure in life, you're not only an irresponsible failure on that basis alone but a simplistic child looking for an existential scapegoat. All my failures have been on me. Not society nor my parents. All my successes have been me taking whatever assets I have, and beyond that starting point using my own effort applied to what opportunities come. Seems to me this describes most people, regardless of status. You take what you have and try to do something with it. You might succeed or fail. Foolishness and destiny controlling don't play into it.

In my experience failure is bought on by one's self to the exact same degree which any success is. It's all on our selves. All of it.

My wife appreciates a bit more consistency and moderacy from me than this.
