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.

Russia responding in kind, utterly predictable. Just like I can't wait until Trump fulfills his blanket tariffs on China policy and China responds in kind....and all of those supposed "working class voters" who pushed him over the victory edge will find that they can no longer afford basic merchandise. That is another topic though. More other news, 52% of Ukrainians now want the war to end ASAP, with all things considered, even if it means ceding territory. I guess their older grey bearded population who seemed to be the quickest to throw themselves out there in the front lines, are largely casualties now so rational thinking appears to be seeping through, especially among younger Ukrainians (who aren't Nazi's). Good, once this is finally over and done with the Ukies can work on fixing the horrendous release of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 and we can go back to normal. Both sides now have a significant portion of tough veterans out of the ordeal so that is always a cool spectacle in and of itself.

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

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.
