There's not much point getting SPF 70. Although I wish there was, because I can burn even with SPF 50 when I'm in the water.

What if I told you that you were a walking, talking, breathing, trust fund beneficiary?

And what then if I told you that the well of that trust is practically bottomless?

Even further I would tell you that this matrix is accessible by two sets of numbers used together. One of these two sets of numbers is exclusive to you, or your 'trust fund'

If you made it this far, I would tell you that you already know one of the sets of numbers, you have all along. You were given this number at birth, but you weren't told what it was for, except that it is important and must be kept secret, lest someone else should find it and use it against you.

This is a great oversimplification, but this gift I offer you freely, and if it is something that you understand or want to understand, I will walk you through the gates.

There is some truth in what you've stated and I won't pretend to understand it all. This is not sovereign citizen stuff.

This type of knowledge has been lumped together with that, so that you would immediately believe it's a farce.

You can't be sovereign and be a citizen.

Unfortunately it's a game with many layers, each with it's own unfair playing field.

I do not wish to play the game on that level, I simply wish to go in peace and be indebted to no one and no thing.

Yes, this is very much true. But those in the uniform who do know this, also know how to call a bluff.

I personally don't feel like engaging in a pissing contest with anyone, let alone someone with a badge and a gun. That path is real though. There's a reason why you only see the failures on youtube or in the news. The only ones who succeed in situations like you suggested are those who assert their rights without "poking the bear" so to speak.

If you've ever been present in a courtroom and observed the interactions between attorney, judge, and prosecutor, it's very clear to see they are all on the same side.

Exactly, it was fun and funny (for a kid). Which Nye was not. I wouldn't take science advice from Beakman, for sure, since the guy is primarily an actor, but the show was definitely more fun to watch.

The mission statement for Bill Nye the Science Guy said, among other things, that science should be the source of the drama and entertainment, not artificial situations. Too many educational shows, including Beakman's world and the Standard Deviants, presented information adjacent to entertainment, as though they needed to trick kids into learning. Nye, on the other hand, was clearly excited about the science itself, and it was infectious.

I'm not going to try to convince you that you are wrong about what you find funny, because that's obviously subjective. For pre-teen me, though, Nye was both more entertaining and more informative than Beakman.

The group is pretty super serious with professors posting quite often in long, long conversations. It's going to be a train wreck and I hope it doesn't get deleted before I can get a screenshot of it tomorrow.

I have an uncle that I haven't spoken to in years, and may never again, after the social media fights we had over the last Texas gubernatorial elections. It was a real shitshow and brought out the worst in Texas Republicans (at the time, we didn't know what was coming in a few years). He would repeatedly come onto my posts and argue that whole "SO MUCH FOR THE TOLERANT LEFT" diatribe that's only gotten more popular, and I would politely remind him that, being family, I don't start arguments with him out of respect on things he posts, and how I wished he would do the same.

The final straw was when he accused me of hating women the day my daughter was born because I had posted something about how Bristol Palin kept speaking up issues she should be quiet about. My life has been much better since.

One of my Navy acquaintances seems to be advocating :biotruths: while trying to pretend that he's not. I don't understand where he's going with this. The thread started with him speculating about why no one denies that eclipses happen like climate change, and turned into him calling trans people mutants and insisting that gay people are a biological disadvantage. He's never been opposed to gay marriage or anything like that, so it seems weird for him to be saying this poo poo. Although I forgot to expand some of my posts before uploading them.

Did he use the whole I don't have a problem with trans people but a 180lb girl isnt pulling my fat rear end 250lb out of the water ?

jfc don't cut off contact with your own little brother just because of some politics bullshit. don't talk politics with him, learn to change the topic, or just shrug it off and accept that not everyone will agree with you in life.
