If you get a choice between regular Heaven, and Pie Heaven, choose Pie Heaven. It might be a trick, but if its not, mmm boy!

The kicker is when your meeting your friend Jack, and yell a greeting...

But those S.S. omfg!

At a public service job, I politely listened to this jerk spiel half an hour bout brilliant you tube videos on beating speeding tickets by insisting your names all caps, on multiple occasions.

Then one time, I politely asked him to move 5 feet (was needed to continue, safety reasons). He would not, even as dozens of displaced customers also tried rational appeals. After 30 min a bus showed up and he just went and left on it.

I never saw him post covid, I frequently hope he died of his irrationality, one of very few people I feel such for. Or maybe he moved into the abandoned (prairie winter, squatting, no power or water lol) school with the Queen of Canada and company.

Speaking of tQoC, it would be fun to show up for a bit, just to Role-Play:

"Please allow me to introduce myself... I come to offer a potential marriage alliance with fair Carcossa! If you might just read this document describing the history of their king..."

"Tata mum! 'Eres your powdered eggs, as you like em, lightly poached in an 'erb broth! (tQoC: Really?) Nah!!! Their fried."

"At your command I will go get flashlight batteries, your majesty, but have you had time to consider my additional honours? Sir Dr Marquis Earl Viscount of Spusm sounds so much the better with a Baron and Royal Keeper of the Swans for good measure"

Later at local store, S.S. walks out (again) without paying ("on account old boy!")

Shopkeeper, armed, yells "Give me the money or your fucking dead!"

S.S.(audible sigh)"That's give me the money or your fucking dead, MY LORD!"

What about Israel or Trump behaviour makes you think they choose actions for the reasons YOU see as rational? Why do you presume their goals are ones you agree with (mutual self interest?)

People that believe "zero sum game" consider situations like: "we" lose half, but we make everyone else lose 3/4 = "we" win, so they would totally do that

The lack of a general strike is telling. Everyone everywhere faces hardship, but other places would have, long ago (like you should have under Regean long ago!)

Your billionaires know most of you are scabs and class traitors, they will not stop now.

Put up or shut up.

Cause, how?

USA gonna actually, really, seriously, irrevocably, cut Israeli arms supplies? If Israel crosses THAT line (again, after every other line)?

Even if now they will (they wont) but even if, why would Israel believe them? Why would Iran trust them?

Always been a toss up 'tween Faith-of-the-Hard and WalkerTexasRanger for all time memorable theme song.

Some believe Chuck Noris is "being ironic" singing his own, and adjust accordingly.

But was "the Bearded Shatner" being ironic when he stole all the Captain Kirk jokes?

"It was real. I'd seen it. I'd seen it in reality." • The mask of humanity fall from capital. It has to take it off to kill everyone -- everything you love; all the hope and tenderness in the world. It has to take it off, just for one second. To do the deed." And then you see it. As it strangles and beats your friends to death... the sweetest, most courageous people in the world." "You see the fear and power in its eyes. Then you know. That the bourgeois are not human."

Yes, but...

Per the rules of the game:

British PM publicly states "The game is afoot" Then Whole new game! (Never very long;)

Watch "Chernobyl" by HBO, if u old enough to remember that, at the time it was all lies and cover ups.

I did a deep dive into reactors in general and concluded:

Even with "better, safer (theory 100% safe)" reactor designs are vulnerable to fail (sometimes catastrophically) given

1)external(Social, energy) pressure: 3Mile, Chernobyl, Fuck-You-Shima, all were entirely preventable BUT given "social" pressures (whether capitalist, communist or zibatsu) there is always pressure to do things "cheap"

2)all reactor designs, when off line, need (sometimes up to 2 years!) of cooling to avoid disasters. This means when you wanna turn off, they are massive long term energy vampires. Thusly: all reactors, given social collapse, where there is not freely available staff and surplus power, red line, sometimes to meltdown. So plagues, war, catastrophe, social breakdown... all over the world...

3)"safe" reactors are designed so for 50 years. They are then "unsafe" but it takes years and billions$ to shut them down (and you need to replace capacity!). A vast number of original power plants are past or passing threshold. To my knowledge, no political system pre banked the money and resources to shut and replace. So we are just patching cracks, and operating less safely (there will be a bunch of these disasters in next decades)

?What kind of idiot lights a fire that you can not extinguish, and can not leave unattended!
