I should have mentioned your experiments with rice. You mentioned you repeated it three times, as I recall, with the same result each time. Peace!

Have you any thoughts on the various beneficiaries of the Valueplan DHF proposal that disburses funds, much of which is directed to Venezuelan programs? How has this been affected by the criminal government

"ICE agents have almost no law enforcement training." They are trained by the IDF, that trains yearly ~20k American police. We can see by the cruelty of the IDF in Gaza what kind of training

"None of these so-called leaders deserve our respect, admiration or consideration." I completely agree. Nefarious actors have cumulatively corrupted all of them, worse over time as corruption

"I guess you're saying that each cell has a different personality!" I do understand consciousness in that way. "I wonder if one of my cells could break away from my body and grow into another

Zen I interpret as being more tuned to our collective consciousness, and I understand that collective to be literally universal, comprised and possessing vast unimagined powers we are incapable of even

"...the sloth's mind buzzes far too much and it's hard to quiet it..." First, I don't believe we need to be perfect. It is enough to do our best. Second, bractice makes berfect. The word religion

Indoctrination is the cruelest weapon of cartels that use us as weapons against our children. Thanks!

There was nothing negligent I saw about the execution of Pretti, disarmed and held down by four ICE agents when he was shot in the back, and then mag-dumped by the whole squad as he lay helpless on the

If the footage can be trusted in the age of AI, what I saw showed Pretti was executed, shot in the back after he'd been disarmed - without ever having reached for his weapon - while held down by four ICE

Review a few video reports, particularly of civil wars, and look at the destruction and horrific suffering it engenders. I will not detail the savage cruelty civil wars afflict on our neighbors, friends,

Brutal tyrants gonna brutally oppress and slaughter. I recently ran across accusations of a veteran, Sascha Riley, that claims Trump brutally raped him, and likes to hurt his victims. I'm very dubious

Yes. I'm happy to see development ongoing, as I quite liked Sting and hope to see it overcome inertia that benefits Discord, that I do not like.

The crude tech of prior centuries has been provably bested by modern communications. Today Hive proves none need representatives, and we can securely vote for proposals ourselves. However, Hive remains

I agree, and we won't vote our way out of tyranny, nor war. Not with ballots, anyway, but with bullets. I'd just rather not, but the only way to restore our human rights that have been completely disregarded

"People want this." When the reality of war hits home, reasonable people quickly regret how wrong they've been. "...ICE breaks down doors and enters houses." When it's your door, or

While that's a natural reaction, what we really need right now is strong communities with copious goodwill. The Bosnian war showed that loners were the weakest targets, and the larger the cohesive group

I think continued violent abuse of American citizens, particularly their murders without any legal justification, as just happened again, will break the spell MAGA cultists are under. Cognitive dissonance

It may not be often apparent, but I well remember the aphorism 'Brevity is the soul of wit.' Usually when I run on for pages...
