What are the 10 Commandments?

The 10 Commandments are like a set of rules that God gave to people a long time ago to help them live good and happy lives. Here’s a simple way to understand them: 
 1. Love and respect God above all else. 
 2. Don’t make or worship idols (like statues or things) instead of God. 
 3. Use God’s name with love and care. 
 4. Set aside a special day to rest and spend time with God. 
 5. Honor your parents and listen to them. 
 6. Treat others with kindness and don’t hurt them.
7. Be faithful to your husband or wife when you grow up. 
 8. Don’t take things that don’t belong to you. 
 9. Always tell the truth and be honest. 
 10. Be happy for what others have; don’t be jealous.  
Following these rules helps us get along with others and show love and respect for God and each other.

How Many Died as a Result of Capitol Riot? – FactCheck.org

About four people died in Trump’s deadly insurrection that almost resulted in the end of the American democracy. 
Numbers were inflated to “Nearly ten.” By Democrats later. 
All four ACTUAL deaths were Trump supporters. 
An unarmed 98 lb woman was shot by a trigger-happy security officer (A guy who had his gun taken away TWICE before being fired from his previous two security jobs.)
The other three “actual deaths” were fucking HEART ATTACKS among Trump’s fat, hypertensive followers. This was not a “crack team of armed, fit, well-trained mercenaries” as represented later by dramatic Democratic prosecutors.

Running miles and miles

Was watching a guy run down the sidewalk today. He had a little backpack with water in it on his back.

So I guess he was going to run a couple of miles. And then I thought, “when in the history and evolution of mankind was that ever a good idea, or did that happen when it was Good thing?”

Like, I understand that we’re doing that for exercise now.

But 15,000 years ago, the only reason you would run, was to elude an animal or attacker. And even then, you didn’t run for hours.

Now, on the other hand, our natural history suggests that we walked fairly long distances to find grow or harvest food, and we worked quite hard whenever we got where we were going. There was also a lot of ‘physicality’ in surviving by way of food-preparation, game harvest, and shelter creation.

In other words, there was a lot of walking, and hard work.

But I don’t think that our ancestors ran for miles. In actuality I bet our bodies were only engineered to succeed in a 1/4 to 1/2 mile escape, OR be eaten. 

Survival of the fittest didn’t come down to running 5-10 miles in one long, terrifying dinosaur chase. Daily.

I think it’s unnatural. Unnecessarily concussive, disc-compressing, and heart straining. 

Fast walking? Great.

Swimming 1/2 mile? Sure. 

Walking 5 miles? Totally. 

Digging weeding planting or harvesting 400sq feet of garden? Yup. 

Running 5 miles with a heart-rate pushing “He’s almost got me, look at those sharp teeth!” 180bpm? That’s a No. 

Who Says “ Toxic Masculinity”?


“Toxic masculinity” – When used by a new age Liberal female: Means testosterone and masculinity in an ‘actual’ man, who prizes a female who is feminine enough to trigger visceral desire. 
Men with toxic masculinity see the modern introverted, frumpy Liberal Women neutrally, like sweaty boys except they may have vaginas.

 

Commonly used by mostly plain-looking, damaged, and or obese females who were ever abused by, laughed-at by, pranked-by or rejected by males. “Toxic Masculinity” 
When used by today’s estrogen-rich, agnathic, soft bodied and soft spoken male: The term refers to their Dads and every other male who ever abused, laughed-at, pranked or rejected them. The legions of men who are obviously more manly and confident than them.  Damaged, videogamer forever-boys.
Modern males, intent on remaining boys and avoiding the protective functions, leadership and accountability qualities of actual “men” use the term to demean the manhood they will never achieve. 

Why?
 You can’t be ‘fired’ if you quit first. So, if you can’t attract a manly man or BE a manly man it ‘saves face’ and doesn’t feel as bad, if you’re pre-demonizing and devaluing them. 
 The men who ARE actual men, and the women who are emotionally and physically eligible to HAVE an actual “man”, do not use the term “Toxic Masculinity”.  
Just the misfits “On the outside looking in.”

Breakthrough in Feeding Dogs and Cats

People have struggled with the weight of their dogs, and CATS especially for a long time.
Putting a cat on a “diet” usually fails because the cats pester the owners while they try to sleep. Finally the owner gives up and decides “FINE STAY FAT”
With dogs, your family can double feed, over pour, mis-measure and add stuff to the food while they feed.
All that is solved with a good Automatic Feeder.
Yeah, I thought I didn't need one, too.
I thought “What a luxury. Not worth it.”
Now I think I'd never NOT have one.
With an autofeeder:
  1. Cats stop bothering you for food because they realize it's the Feeder and NOT YOU they have to bother.
  2. Dogs, same.
  3. Feeding a specified amount of dry food twice a day pulls weight off fat dogs.
  4. Not begging is nice
  5. Not being tempted to Put Something On The Food and fatten a dog up is nice.
All of this, with the wonder of an automatic feeder. I compare a couple here at drjohnson.com/autofeeders

Recovering Narcissists Can’t:

Because All Narcissists Always: 

  • Defend themselves
  • Say they’re being a victim
  • Dismiss the other person’s concern
  • Decline they did anything wrong
  • Minimize the actual impact
  • Criticize and fight to distract from the issue
  • Crawl back with obsequious promises and sugar

There’s literally nothing Recovering 

Narcissists can say without being “Narcissistic” even if sometimes they should. 

A Recovering Narcissists who doesn’t want to be that way:

  • Doesn’t defend themselves -> Recovering Narcissists have to “not defend” and can be blamed for anything and everything including both sides of the whole mess. 
  • Doesn’t say they’re being a victim > Recovering Narcissists can be treated any way you like.  They can be verbally abused, treated unfairly and insulted and cannot feel or claim they were wronged.
  • Doesn’t dismiss the other person’s concern -> In an argument you can expand, omit or embellish ‘facts’ to make a point and Recovering Narcissists can’t contest it. 
  • Doesn’t decline they did anything wrong -> Recovering Narcissists can be accused of anything real or recalled without contradiction. If Recovering Narcissists decline anything, especially false accusations, it’s gaslighting.
  • Doesn’t minimize the actual impact -> Experiences that trigger prior PTSD or ‘hit a nerve from a past life’ can get as ‘big and histrionic’ as they want without comment from Recovering Narcissists.
  • Doesn’t criticize and fight to distract from the issue -> Recovering Narcissists can be verbally abused and insulted and cannot get angry, respond or throw it back. 
  • Doesn’t beg, gift or ingratiate to get their partner back. The partner allows continuation, or burns it down. Recovering Narcissists just have to wait.

The Islamic brotherhood struggle with Israel, Egypt, Syria

I can’t remember when, but I happened onto some translations of texts about the Islamic brotherhood, and the struggles they have had in the Middle East. I thought these documents were very interesting, because they were written by a member of the Islamic brotherhood, perhaps a historian, and it seems the audience is the Islamic brotherhood. So I think it’s kind of unvarnished.

The pages are not in any particular order, there may be duplications, I don’t know enough, or honestly care enough to try to arrange and clean them up. But if they are interesting to you, then, yay.
