Rebels achieving the element of surprise and scoring some early victories =/= Syrian government about to be toppled. Just look at the maps, SDF still controls most of Syria and will regroup. Like Ukraine, people seem to just jump to conclusions early on before it is over with.

The West using every little dirty over-used tool in it's rucksack to try to divert Russian resources away from Ukraine. Futile! China has now publicly supported Bashar in his quest to hunt down Western backed terrorists. Many Russians are admittedly annoyed with China for seemingly not being willing to send military aid to Syria. But what many Russians (admittedly) don't seem to understand is that China is a superpower and cannot make the same mistakes USA makes - ie sending troops all over the world to "solve" problems.

Yes, I am aware of that, but whales win the popularity contest and are cooler than sharks and crocodiles, and have a more intriguing story. Longevity is awesome and noteworthy but awesomeness always win out in the end. I could have said that the bowhead whale is the best because they have longer lifespans and some nifty mechanics but Blue Whales are just more awesome.

https://www.earth.com/news/ai-helps-humans-have-20-minute-conversation-with-humpback-whale-named-twain/ Whales! Whales are cool once you get to know them (now possible). Did you know Whales (and all cetaceans) were once artiodactyls land mammals, 50 million years ago. They slowly evolved back in sea as their descents spent more and more time in the ocean eating fish. I consider the Blue Whale an evolutionary masterpiece, considering the 50 million year successful journey. Save the whales! https://youtu.be/igqav-i99hw?si=J4El8SI6QIOMaZoQ

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/11/07/donald-trump-ukraine-peace-plan-british-troops-buffer-zone/ Plausible, or? At this point, I don't really care what a US President does as long as they don't start or facilitate WW3. Deport illegals, remove transgender bathrooms for all I care, just do not corroborate a situation that will result in millions of dead people.

Funny how you could probably find an exact quote like this from some low grade dime-a-dozen Euro Nazi supporting dip**** in 1941 The good news though is that Russia has a solid industrial capacity and are producing ordinance at warp speed that the West cannot keep pace with, so it's only a matter of time before they finally start seeing some slow but steady breakthroughs by the Russians in Ukraine. The best we can honestly hope for is some kind of frozen conflict like North Korea and South Korea, Russia annexes 4 oblasts in Ukraine and the new tense border is established for many years to come. It's the best we can hope for.

https://www.france24.com/en/middle-east/20231105-we-are-failing-again-un-us-resignations-highlight-splits-over-israel-s-gaza-assault Whelp, one "good" thing about this ****show, it is exposing deep fissures and contradictions within the West. If the Russo-Ukraine conflict exposed fissures between The West and the Global South, this one is far more internally hemorrhaging unlike Ukraine. I wonder where the next tragedy will strike, and we yet see more contradictions manifest. I mean it's not altogether bad, it takes these things to inch closer to the eldrich truth, but it's just sad that it takes war and death to achieve it.

Resident Evil: Ebola Village DEMO Because when Russians rip off create survival horror games, they do it based! I don't know about you, but I like scantly clad protagonists! Gruesome! This may, in fact, come in handy. Shoot, this door just flung open, what could be behind it?! Shocker! A zombie/Crimson Head/Ganado type beast. What's behind this door?? I found a knife, an herb, some shotgun shells, and more .45 ammo, lots useful stuff in one little entryway. Also there's some aggressive moaning behind this door and notice the bloody footprints. I shot him in the mouth and face and look what happens, gruesome! I took him down and found some clothes! She looks awfully familiar doesn't she? Also found this shotgun, and here is a save phone and an inventory box, very fitting. Now let's go back outside... I become surrounded and have to fight them all off! After taking damage I prevail. You should have seen what their faces looked like when I blasted them! I've never seen such graphic gore before. That's it, the demo ends here, short but promising.

Boy one unintended side effect of my new diet: very high testosterone levels! I did not anticipate this 3 months ago when I changed my eating habits, it just happened. It's a variation of dairy products, whole grains, nuts, seeds, fruits L-Carnitine and omega 3 supplements, along with dark chocolate and iodine. Very "ballsy" diet in the long run. I didn't base my diet plan on any traditional sentiments, that's the European way which is not appealing to me, nor did I base it on any "shop local" sentiments which admittedly is rather popular here in US. It's purely a "by the numbers" diet, I wanted to make sure I got all the vitamins and minerals I needed within reason w\o long or complicated cooking processes. It was perhaps TOO successful, I have lost 40 lbs and now may be dangerously high in testosterone and mental clarity which could lead to unnecessary conflicts if I am not careful. My blood pressure, glucose, cholesterol levels are spit shining, no c-reactive protein (inflammation) levels to speak of triglyceride levels dropping fast. Oxidative stress levels are fine however much higher testosterone levels can offset stress relief. Just like women should try not to be estrogen dominant for various health reasons, too high testosterone levels in men can also be dangerous.

US has not been on Israel's side since around 1987. Since then US has become increasingly partisan on the side of Israel, which is going causing long term problems to US role in world. First Ukraine now Israel, US just blindly chooses a side w/o adequate tact. China, meanwhile is playing the adult here in BOTH conflicts and is actually considering both sides POV in conflicts and wants peace and both sides to achieve a peaceful 2 state solution and has never reflexively took a side as the case with recent US impulses. US is very insecure nation for the past few decades and doesn't know how to use their wealth and power to achieve proper peace in global conflicts. It's sad really, US really comes off as bad news in today's world when it did not have to happen. The Global South is continuously being alienated by US.

No need to "cope", at this point it's Stop Everyone Outside of Our Rules At All Costs Also been strangely following RFK Jr lately despite not endorsing him, he's now running as an Independent, which is tons better than a D and he should get enough % to get into the debates. I won't vote because I don't care anymore, but I have been advocating for a 3rd party for YEARS now so this is an improvement. Literally everywhere I go, especially at work, I see 2 camps, the more conservative "Trumpy" side and the liberal SJW minority side and their is definitely lots of toxicity and tension between the two which is unhealthy for a cohesive society, it's really hard for moderates to stand out these days and trying to avoid getting sucked into a specific side, it feels like you're walking on eggshells. Not that I care, I'd sooner just let The Other Side Of The World win and let the US evolve into humble status, which may curve some of the brooding tension and polarization that is definitely manifesting into violent feelings towards each other, which is kind of a reflection of US aggression abroad. Reap/sow.

Breakfast: Take 2 cups of Kefir (plain), mix in a chopped banana, 1 avocado (messy but worth it), one chopped apple, 1/2 cup of walnuts, a handful of crushed shredded wheat, and toss in a small bit of organic kelp powdered seaweed (Go easy on the kelp powder! The iodine content in that is intense and too much can trigger an autoimmune response where your body attacks your thyroid, which in turn causes hypothyroidism). Mix it all in a bottle and shake the Hell out of it. You really want a breakfast morning rush w/o drugs/pharmacautical aid? I dare you to give this a shot, take an acetyl l carnitine supplement for a bonus.
