Not everything.

I saw that video a while back. The guy said it would not cost over $5,000.00 in a worst case scenario but most likely a lot less. He won't know for sure until I expose the foundation so he can make a more educated guess.

I have an old stone foundation and recently discovered that, at some point, the mortar holding it all together turns to dust. I have to tear down all basement walls to expose the foundation so a guy can come in and do "repointing" (scraping away the old dusty mortar and reapplying with new mortar). FML.

That's where I'm at. I got one for Christmas and then learned about all of the politicization after the fact. Now when I play Walkabout Mini Golf I have fun, but also hate myself for not throwing it all away.

That looks like what they used to call a "Displaced Person".

I'm still shocked at how america is being taken apart and taken down by a white supremacist south african. Maybe their power wasn't so super after all.

The Polish president is not a little man. Elon is.

The old "fire them all and then rehire them and add them to the job creation numbers" gambit.

Some good stoic advice and then it took a dark turn.

So he's never personally physically harmed anyone while his heroes brutally killed millions.

I'm not joking and I am not a troll. I'm a billy goat, and I'm gruff. You shouldn't call people names or attach attributes to them, worry about your own stance. There are lots of good citizen actions one can take but there is nothing wrong with getting angry when it is warranted. Sometimes a good "Fuck you" goes way further than cold calling organizations for donations, etc. There are enough people dong that already and we are still travelling a downward path. Maybe God will save us. Maybe the government will save us. Maybe you?

What is he supposed to do? At least he is letting the world know what he thinks. That's something. Someone once told me that if you aren't pissed off then you are not paying close attention. I don't know about that. I prefer to be in good humour but sometimes I shake my head in anger and helplessness, so I can empathize.
