If Canada doesn't rename Lake Michigan to Lake Epstein Files they are missing a huge opportunity. It's exactly what they should do and fuck any TACO hopes for tariffs. Fuck US imports, be proud, be obstinate. Be an enemy to this regime. Create a bill that will officially rename the lake back to Lake Michigan automatically after a new president is sworn in if they want.

It might be diseased, might be horse meat, might be concentration camp prisoners. At this point, we can't fucking know and likely can barely imagine. We are in the end game now. They've captured or wasted our water, taken our power, disrupted our communication technology, sowed distrust in our food supply and will use Round-Up to destroy much of what's left of that, made their crimes legal and have made our voting ability dubious at best. The last stage I can think of is nullifying our currency and we can see them strongly trying to make that happen right now. We still have a very small chance to fix this without massive bloodshed but no matter what, it's going to be a hard road ahead.

You'd think it's from dangerous assignment-based activities but it's not. It's from doing stupid shit in traffic stops and getting hit by innocent drivers. It's what happens when superficial authority meets 3 tons of metal at a mile a minute.

I'm sure he thinks the idea is dumb, but what he really hates is someone getting attention for being a decent person. That's his real kryptonite. Having to give deference to people with qualities he could never bring himself to have while they are lauded for it.

Love does not require vulnerability in any shared sense. It can absolutely exist without it. I would argue that a relationship isn't very healthy without some concept of shared vulnerability but love isn't a relationship and a relationship isn't love.

Many relationships are purely based on a concept of "I know what my partner is thinking/feeling" when nothing is shared. There are many connections that just work, for various reasons.

I'm nearing 50 and didn't even know what vulnerability actually was (I had a concept but not an experience. I didn't know what I didn't know) until my early 40's. And I'm still shit at vulnerability and have roughly as much experience with using a Bat'leth in combat as I do being vulnerable. But believe me, I've been in love many times.

Healthy emotional response means you react to your environment in an appropriate way given the environment. Unhealthy emotional response means you pass out when you hear a helicopter or you can't have healthy relationships or hold down jobs or feel good or feel anything. Emotions just are until they're an impediment to living.
