Am I the only one that realizes the entire political dynamic of the "western world" is basically trying to outrun a king?

Google Gemini keeps it real.
When you have #memoryimpairment you never really know WHEN you are. You can get clues fro reality, but it's a CONSTANT fight not to call someone back from a discussion in 2015, day dream about revenge on a school bully, or relive a time when my body was much more capable. I try to hack it, but it's so subjective.
The only thing I have found that works reliably is #meditation. Without the need to recognize, match, recall, remember, imagine, regret, etc.. the mind is pretty peaceful. 🧠

"The immigrants were attracted to Tel Aviv because they found in it all the comforts they were used to in Europe: electric light, water, a little cleanliness, cinema, opera, theatre, and also more or less advanced schools... busy streets, full restaurants, cafes open until 2 a.m., singing, music, and dancing."
tl;dr WW3 is basically the whole colonization story all over again.

It's heart breaking to see older folks at these ATM's on the phone with their scammer explaining how to pay the taxes on the millions they just won. :(

It's weird that somewhere in China is a copy of all the users of #Grindr. I wonder what they did with all that tea?

I used to work in the teens clothing department at a regional department store. This was one of the 25 music videos played in an endless loop for my 8 hour shift.

So yeah—an animal is like a free-roaming, decision-making agent. A plant is a headless, solar-powered script running infinitely in the cloud, turning ambient environment variables into solid, physical structures.

"Exclusion from the vast region of Trans-Appalachia created discontent between Britain and colonial land speculators and potential settlers. The proclamation and access to western lands was one of the first significant areas of dispute between Britain and the Thirteen Colonies and became a contributing factor leading to the American Revolution."
tl;dr It kinda seems like America was kinda a #richdudemoneyscheme

I kinda see the immigrants leaving service jobs and disabled/lgbtq/elderly are in more visible positions. I wonder if this is real, or just my perception.

"The Knights of the Golden Circle (KGC) was a secret society founded in 1854 by American George W. L. Bickley. Its objective was initially to expand the United States into Latin America, adding slave states and ensuring the permanent continuance of slavery. "
