People wont give up their fanciful lifestyles. They can't convince
themselves that they're successful unless they're living one or two
weeks shy of broke. Sometimes that includes getting all the gimme they
can scrounge up.
Here in the OC people are driving stuff that is outside a decent person's
needs - it's like a suit of armor "because it's Hollywood"
Everybody looks the same when the groundskeeper is shoveling dirt onto
their box.

I dedicate this song to Grex and the soon to be posthumous memory of
Grex:
Beware of Darkness by George Harrison
[Verse 1]
Watch out now, take care
Beware of falling swingers
Dropping all around you
The pain that often mingles in your fingertips
Beware of darkness
[Verse 2]
Watch out now, take care
Beware of the thoughts that linger
Winding up inside your head
The hopelessness around you
In the dead of night
Beware of sadness
[Bridge]
It can hit you
It can hurt you
Make you sore and what is more
That is not what you are here for
[Verse 3]
Watch out now, take care
Beware of soft shoe shufflers
Dancing down the sidewalks
As each unconscious sufferer
Wanders aimlessly
Beware of Maya
[Verse 4]
Watch out now, take care
Beware of greedy leaders
They take you where you should not go
While Weeping Atlas Cedars
They just want to grow, grow and grow
Beware of darkness (beware of darkness)

And also, anyone who is looking at this from the Internet Archive, if
you are interested in finding me, I have a website:
https://www.distantdark.com
It's been fun posting my little rants over the years.
Also fun to troll and have fun with people that have came and went.
In the end, grex wasn't able to compete with Facebook and Twitter.
I get it. Some of us aren't ready to move on. But we are powerless.
We run our little home Raspberry Pi servers to SSH back and forth into
the sunset.

#123 Yes. One day soon, Grex will be gone to the ages like the
Philistines. I'm holding up my cigarette lighter for an encore but I
think the band has left the stage. God bless.

Here's an interesting breakdown on who owns Trader Joes. It's an
interesting business case study IMO.
https://www.aldireviewer.com/aldi-and-trader-joes-are-they-the-same-
company/
My favorite fact from this page:
"Trader Joe s brings in around $13.7 billion per year in revenue.
Compare that to Aldi US, which takes in an estimated $18.44 billion per
year with about 4 times as many stores."
Very likely the business model for Trader Joes is to offer goods and
services in wealthier areas. They could not simply expand and greatly
increase revenues. In the meantime, Aldi America is considered a tough
competitor to the likes of Kroger, which has incorporated similar
products to compete.

Aldi and Trader Joe's are essentially Volkswagon to the Chevy and Ford
grocers. My favorite grocery stores have weird names like Ranch something
and are mostly run by Persians while loaded with produce off the back
of a truck. Bell pepper robbery in any of the big chain places.

"Bell pepper robbery"
The bell pepper robber kept asking, "WHERE'S NANCY???"
That's word, because, you know

"Politically motivated." Yeah, okay sure.

I was absolutely convinced that the guy visiting who "got in a tussle"
over the hammer is a "friend" of theirs. Politics is a dirty
murdering business. The guy visiting was dating a pedo woman friend
who is also part of their small circle of Berkeley SJWs.
It didn't take them 30 seconds to twist the lover's spat into a
"Where's Nancy" when nobody ever said such a thing. Never miss
an opportunity for self promotion - even when your husband is in ER.
Somehow yet, they're linking the guy to Q and Jan6. Stretch that
silly putty as far as it can go before the election.

For all we know the old man is safe on pedo island somewhere.
"Q" and "Jan 6" are now just dogwhistles for the true believers. I
suspect you are right though, the "attacker" is very likely to be in
their inner circle. Isn't it funny that the police arrived as the attack
was supposedly taking place? They were both holding hammers? Also funny
that the attacker is given the middle-name treatment - David Wayne
Depape and that as the attack hit the news he was instantly a trump
supporter.
"Where's Nancy?" The cops just happened to be there when the phrase was
uttered? LOL okay. And the Pelosi's are steeped in millions of
insider-trading cash but had no security? Ah ha. Yep.
Q = Whitmer kidnappers = The $5 gas before Biden was elected =
Transitory Inflation = Russia blowing up their own pipelines; all
fabrications of the deep state and the useful idiots on their payroll.
Remember, Musk buying Twitter is a "National Security Threat". God only
knows what fun they have in store for him.

The initially reported intruder story is fake. The intruder was allowed in.
The security system was turned off, the cameras were turned off. The intruder
arrived unarmed. The hammer belongs to Pelosi. Neither man was wearing pants
when the police arrived. This was a lovers quarrel, not a break in. Now,
the capitol police, who report to Nancy, are there to cover up the truth.
All of this happening right before an election where Nancy is expected to lose
power.
The glass is broken "outward" It's Paul's hammer.
The security system was off.
If this was a game of Clue, we'd need lipstick, Viagra, and Colonel
Mustard to complete the puzzle.
Instead it's Jan6 and GOP's fault that Paul is dating crazy dudes.
$46M made in 2021 by Pelosi on the stocks and 5 days served for a DUI.
We're supposed to feel bad for this drama. I guess Amber Heard is on
vacation.

"Better love next time, baby" -Dr Hook
Paul Pelosi Jr was busted in 2013 for his company's dealings (insider
trading or somesuch) Paul Sr bought 1M in Tesla stocks then a few
days later POTUS Biden announced a federal 600k Tesla vehicles purchase.
However, POTUS Biden frowns on energy sector making profits. Shame shame!

I am experiencing a morbid curiosity reading millenials on reddit losing
their minds over return to office (RTO). Most of them are IT workers
and they are threatening to quit - as the mass layoffs start and more
and more companies pull workers back into the office.
During the last recession, the American left glibly told manufacturing
workers to learn to code. I wonder why the American left never mocks
college students who end up moving into mom's basement and work retail?
Most don't like to talk about how pathetic it is that most Millenials
are well into their 30's and less than half own a home or have any
children (actual statistics). I suspect this is because most of these
people are likely the useful idiots that make up the American left.
How many Math & English majors in Ann Arbor that bitch about student
loans while working at Starbucks? BERNIE! BERNIE! BERNIE!

Basement dwellers are something. it's even more something when

Has anyone seen Barbarian? It's filmed in Detroit.

(I actually did obtain a fresh bottle of iodine tablets. I should
probably order more. Took forever because of high demand. Would say more
but you know.)
Was just reading more LGBTQP+ promo emails from the corporation I work
for and was thinking - if grown adults are going to play dressup and we
get fired for not acknowledging their fake names and genders, how many
years are we from putting up with furries that need litter boxes and dog
collars at work? Or those dudes that "identify" as non-binary toddlers?
Do they get playpens? There has to be a line in the sand somewhere but
I'm not sure we will ever reach it in my lifetime.

I'm still trying to get over fake eyebrows that women pencil onto their
forehead. People doing gender bender stuff is courageous and I can't
imagine they do it with glee - while at the same time I don't understand
why an employer nor government needs to tell people how to react
or behave in the midst of it. There isn't diversity if not for
diversity of thought and culture. There is a movement by the
LGBTQOPMONQRS folks to create just one culture of full acceptance which
flies in the face of freedom of speech and religion.
