DEET is the only chemical that I know-of which they HATE.

I use mosquito-netting to keep them away from me.

I don't want DEET touching me, at all, ever again.

No, I'm not a mosquito.

Feel free to reject what I say as worthless or inapplicable..


Please try doing some no-stark-lines shading art,

perhaps some charcoals or something,

to get you farther into right-hemisphere-dominance mode, RMind, as I call it..

Some of what you've earned shows you're earning some RMind, but the lines-centric stuff is preventing you from getting deeper into it..


just an opinion of some internet rando, is all..

Isn't that interesting..

The anbility to prevent the getting-out of evidence of what the authorities do to the locals..

Just like the unconstitutional state-laws which criminalize capturing-of-video-evidene of police executing people..

"I wonder" if this would ever be abused by anti-accountability authorities..

( remember that the whole Christian religion is founded on a guy who was a kind of whistleblower, & had spikes hammered through his wrists, in his crucifixion, for his calling the legalists "hypocrites"..

I wonder how "Christian" he'd find them to be, if he returned, & saw what they're doing? )

Human nature & demon nature seem .. related?

or is that too harsh?

.. perhaps .. but wasn't the Inquisition demon-law in the name of benJoseph?

hmm...

IF you are in accounting, especially if you are in regulatory compliance accounting, or going into it, you NEED to know about a book named "Financial Shenanigans".

I'm not intellectually-equal to it ( or to accounting, for that matter: psychology's much easier to crack, for me ), but it is THE most important book for forensic-accountants to know.

The bullshit that they've been pulling, where "Between 2017 and 2021, Amazon had more than $25 billion in losses from its devices business, according to the documents. The losses for the years before and after that period couldn’t be determined." didn't produce criminal consequences..

You've got to be kidding, right?

Individual human goes to jail or prison for $2k tax fraud, but .. big tech gets a free pass on that kind of "accounting"??

couldn't be determined??

Either run a tight-ship or don't be surprised when it sinks.

Economies are the "ships" that carry our countries, & have to be properly regulated, exactly as a tightly-regulated ship has to be, to keep it afloat longer.

It isn't the sloppy mechanic-racers who win NASCAR, it is the ones who control everything correctly, with total right-regulation.

I remember when I'd read that Cisco switched to closing their books out daily, so as to always know the exact position of the company..

what an incredible degree of financial-operations integrity that was..

Anyways, "Financial Shenanigans" is THE book to dig into, if you want to know if the business you're considering investing in is cooking the books.. and you're capable of understanding that stuff at the level it's speaking..

Obviously, the EU hasn't the spine to eject Hungary, so Putin's Ally/Representative in the EU will remain disabling the EU's strategy, in all ways possible..

I wonder how many extra thousands of EU troops will die in the escalations of Russia's aggression, through the next decade(s), as a result of their current-spinelessness?

( remember the English appeasers of Hitler helped the Nazis, & remember that Stalin was providing supplies to the Nazis right up until the day they invaded Russia. Having spine enough to do what is correct/proper isn't common-enough )

This may well work for the repubs, though.

They want dictatorship, not representative-republic ( falsely-called "democracy" by us foolish peons ).

Legalism, which the christ they pretend to be aligned-with, repeatedly railed against, calling its devotees "Hypocrites!"..

https://www.biblegateway.com/quicksearch/?quicksearch=hypocrite&version=AMP

I believe that in the gaslighting-about-being-aligned-with-christ republican territories .. they're going to get that result to happen..

Which only could have been prevented had the dems put Harris in the race months ago..

Conflict-of-interest is the root of all corruption.

You remember reading how Biden was being at risk of not being on the ticket in some state because the Dems hadn't filed paperwork in time?

I fear that there are laws, somewhere, which will prevent Harris from being on the ballot, in that jurisdiction..


Humans only react correctly when it's too-late, by default.

ClimatePunctuation's only 1 example of an ocean of them, throughout history..

While Harris is a Godsend, compared with all the alternatives, .. I don't know that all of the required chain-of-leverages is in-place to pull this off, & save the US of A's life..

That's treason, isn't it?

Enemy-of-the-state?

Political-highjacking/illegal-political-operations, or something?

Something like that..

"Pro-Life" but they will execute oceans of lives, in their regime.

I expect full-on human-sacrifice worship of Trump within 4y of his gaining dictatorship.

( there's been continuous human-sacrifice-cult activity in the Americas, Central & northward, for about 11.7 millenia, ttbomk.

This won't be anything new: it'll just be the same-old same-old getting blatent about it.

I bet every one of you an imaginary-dime, right now, that the "uncanny valley" is going to be stark on Trump's face, within 4y, to those who aren't his worshippers.

I don't know if there's a remind-me-bot thingy for lemmy, but if there is, & anybody wants to set a reminder, so you can prove me wrong, go for it.

I think this bet of mine is certain.

Rule # 1 in dictatorships:

THE PURGE happens, up-front.

Remember "Q" was pushing that that would happen?

The prediction was early, but it was spot on.

As I've been saying for years, now.
