When I give food to the people, they call me a Saint.
When I ask if the people have food, they call me a communist.

Hi @Elmer B Fuddled, hope you and the wife are well. I love your pics from Ireland and dig your beard.
A while back you mentioned something about a food tasting like possums - I wanted to let you know my son has always been keen on squirrels and other forest critters.
I've lost count of the times I've been called a commie, even on this forum.
When you show people compassion and love it sometimes really pisses people off.
I got to post some photos of things over here, it's pretty darn beautiful.
Take care my friend.

Hi Daniel,
Well I don't pay too much attention to what people say or do. If we were to take everything on board I think we would be insane. As for being called a commie, my opinion is those who would say such a thing, probably don't even have any idea what communism truly is, just a word they've heard.
Your son with his interest in forest creatures, that's great. I was raised in the Idaho mountains. Where all sorts of creatures were about. Not many critters here in Ireland, not like Idaho.
One morning during the first wave of the virus, I went for shower and shave. In the process I damn near cut my chin off, the cut was quite deep. Being on a blood thinner it took way into the night to get it stopped. The wife said maybe you should stop shaving. Hey that's a great idea. So I let it grow. At one time it was a lot longer and so was my hair. Them hippie days, and the return from Nam.
So my friend good to see you again.
Keep a strong smile.
Elmer

"C'est la vie"
It isn't technically a quote but a lyric by an American actually but i quote it to myself all the time as it answers the 'why' to many things. I've learned sometimes there is no 'why'. Just 'C'est la vie.'

From Wizard to another:
Great line. I need to give Disco Elysium another go at it. Stopped playing for some reason, but the writing in it is second to none.

"Fuck does Cuno care?"
Yeah Disco Elysium is pretty amazing. Shame what the studio did. The devs and writers being pushed out of their own company by investors is too on the nose, given the themes of the game.
Has a great OST too. Loved to listen to some of the tracks pretty regularly before... well, y'know.

Fear results in fight or flight.
Anxiety creates doom and gloom.
Fear is the pulse that pounds when you see a coiled rattlesnake in your front yard.
Anxiety is the voice that tells you, never, ever, for the rest of your life, walk barefooted through the grass.
There might be a snake... somewhere.

"I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...
The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance"
