Ha, kind of a “quiet quitting!”

Don’tcha know, if you buy Apple products and support Apple with your money, that means that you “Think Different”. Yeah, you’re brilliant, a creator, you don’t run with the crowd, and you’re a traitor.

I’ve never understood the Apple Cult, and I understand it even less as its members choose to look the other way when the company does this kind of thing.

What’s all this about buying now and paying later?

Don’t do that.

I haven’t given a thought to my “credit score” in decades. I hope that means that it’s tanked due to the unimaginable, unearthly, inhuman crime of not routinely borrowing money.

“smash”! Ooh ooh, exciting word, boom boom bang must clicky!

TACO time again.

So what’s he looking for, some kind of DEI preferences from the SBA?

What a clickbait piece.

“the pest control guy leading the charge” is the main figure in the article about alleged “pests”. I wonder what he thinks about them? Oh, what do you know, he has nothing good to say about the critter, who’d have thought?

The school system guy is quoted as saying the squirrel issue has been “a continuous battle for them for the last 75 years.” So this has been going on for (human) generations and is just a part of life in that region. Nothing new except the clickbait.

“Minot Air Force Base, which houses bombers and intercontinental ballistic missiles” is in their backyard and if the article is to be believed, the citizenry is focused on the risks and evils of a native squirrel. If so I’d say it’s the citizenry that has their heads in the sand.

Creating a modern do-over of Stalinism mixed with Nazism and Christian theocracy.

Oh, I see. It was satire.

Satire is a genre of the visual, literary, and performing arts, usually in the form of fiction and less frequently non-fiction, in which vices, follies, abuses, and shortcomings are held up to ridicule, often with the intent of exposing or shaming the perceived flaws of individuals, corporations, government, or society itself into improvement. Although satire is usually meant to be humorous, its greater purpose is often constructive social criticism, using wit to draw attention to both particular and wider issues in society. (wikipedia)

Not to be confused with sarcasm. In writing it’s a well-known (I’d thought) technique going back thousands of years. In pre-Idiocracy times, roughly before the widespread use of cell phones and when people read written texts to become informed and for pleasure, satire was common and there were writers who were well-known for specializing in the mode. The quality of the satire was always debatable (as with the quality of any art offering) but it was normally always recognized as satire by people who were able to read it in the first place. In the case of written satire, while it might be accompanied by illustrations to emphasize one point or another, it didn’t require images or animations or the equivalent of “emojis” near the text in question in order to signify to the reader that satire was being employed. The text was self-evident as being satirical, or if not, could be understood from the context to be satire (if it was contained in a satirical book for example).

As for what I wrote, I would have expected that the absurd concepts (government-controlled turbines designed to change the weather both by harnessing the power of winds and by creating new winds by acting as giant fans; describing these “fans” as being able to move people and extremely heavy machinery with great accuracy, again under government control) and borrowed nutter phraseology along with depictions of nutter-like outrage, would have made it apparent that satire was what was on offer. I understand that some may think if to be of poor quality, but I’m surprised that some people cannot recognize the writing as satire at all.

Pre-Idiocracy this would rarely have been a problem, even when the writing appeared in a low-context medium such as an isolated web page or in a forum or Usenet posting. It may be that the satirical written form is now, in Idiocratic times, extinct except to specialized academics and historians and other educated elites. That would be a shame because it was a powerful (influential) communication tool and is a pleasure to write and to read.

A what?

I don’t know where the Wx radars are around here, but you don’t have to drive more than an hour to see a hell of a lot of wind turbines sharing space with crops out on the Palouse . Those turbines absorb wind and therefore they change the weather, right? I’d be very surprised if they can’t be run in reverse to generate winds - winds designed to blow farmers and their giant pickups and their farm equipment wherever the government wants them to be. Full government control. Fortunately I see that the small-town intelligentsia are starting to fight back against this kind of out-of control wind turbine government overreach.

Desperate laborers, and, I’m guessing, no union troubles.

Suicides, every one of them.

And those countries won’t accept you if they think you might be a “burden” on their social services budget/infrastructure. Young, in the prime of career, in-demand skills, maybe a job offer, or just filthy rich? OK, maybe you can get in. Maybe. But if you’re older or just a regular schmuck without any family in those countries to depend on, then probably not.

Ah, I see. Well looky here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_Interferometer_Space_Antenna Notice how They’re trying to cover up the purpose of the lasers with some kind of scientific hoohaw, and not a word about how they’ll be controlled by The Jews.

Good point. I heard somewhere they’re going to spend like $150B on ice too. They’re definitely up to something - that would be enough ice for every glass and cooler in America. Maybe they’ll spread chemtrail ice for the radar to interact with?

And somehow our phones are part of the System. I assume there’s an app for that, something that lets me dial in whatever wx I want, for anywhere, anytime. What’s it called? Goddamn, another $ubscription I bet.

Michael Lewis Arthur Meyer, the founder of Veterans On Patrol, told the station he posted a sign warning of other radars being targeted near weather radar. He said he believes the government is modifying the weather, according to the article.

“They can embed their technology and civilian infrastructure in every home and every household utilizing the phones and their network towers to not only control the weather, modify the weather, but they can (target) individuals,” Meyer said in the article.

Control the weather. Target individuals. How can anyone get this stupid?

This is the first “mugshot” I’ve seen of the perp.

She killed one of her kids (and would have killed a second) to get a friggin’ anus on her face.

I hope a decent caregiver can be found for the surviving kid. That is, if he’s not brain-damaged from the heat and doesn’t have to be institutionalized for the rest of his life.

This sounds almost identical to the PFAS problem west of Spokane WA.

https://westplainswater.org/

The so-called “West Plains” area is home to both the Spokane airport (GEG) and Fairchild Air Force Base. The latter is a huge refueling base with tankers flying in/out all the time. It’s surrounded by a lot of cropland and has one of those common “military towns” adjacent to it - the city of “Airway Heights”. Trump 2024 signs everywhere.

From what I understand, the problem originates from PFAS chemicals used in the base’s firefighting operations. I’ve been told by an employee of the local power company that the base has all of its water pumped uphill from the Spokane river now. I don’t know what Airway Heights or surrounding residents do … maybe they just drink bottled water and avoid bathing.
