Trump Versus Biden

[Baruch]

The problem is that it's a long list.  Almost any American can tell you it's a state when they hear it, but it's easy to leave one out.  I try to picture a map of the US, but when I get over to the Atlantic Seaboard, there's that little cluster of states by Washington DC, that's so small, it doesn't even show up in my mind map.  I just know, "Oh that's the part that has all those little states."  Other times I might leave out a big state like Alabama or Utah.  We were supposed to learn this in grade school, but I can't remember ever being able to do it.  Frankly, it didn't seem that important.

They other thing we were supposed to learn were the state capitols.  That never seemed important, and now with Google, learning them really strikes me as a total waste of time.  Remember learning arithmetic?  You know addition, multiplication tables and all that.  Now that was obviously necessary, at least at the time, but today they don't seem to stress that.  Just use a calculator.  Why bother knowing about carrying the left over into the next step of division and all that.  We have computers for that drudgery.  For spelling we have spell check, although it sometimes renders rather odd sentences when it's self correcting.

Times are changing.  If you don't like facts, just use alternate facts.

Knew all the states and capitals when I was 6, because my mom encouraged me.  Had a lose plastic set of states I could put together.  Easy to lose the parts for Delaware and Rhode Island.  I can still do all the states from memory, but I am wrong on some of the capitals (vs other large cities in those states).

Arguably, they did a better job there than the coronavirus response.

Mafia affiliates always hate Giuliani.  The picture maker misspelled his name.

First second

That's going to be a popular quiz question.

I have had no President since Obama, and I after-the-fact reject all those since Eisenhower.  So not my government, not by party, not my leaders, not my countrymen.  Which is fine, I am not Japanese either, and don't hold any ennui against Japan.  So I consider myself an illegal alien here, since 2016.

You have a weird way of showing it.

OK, I need to confess something. She is going to eat all of them alive. And that makes me happy.

I am complicated.  Not 2 dimensional unlike most people on the Internet ;-)

The reference was to Stranger In A Strange Land ... if you saw my eye condition, that Munch did pay attention to when I shared it, you would know I am from Mars, that and being civilian-military for 32 years.

You assume I am a White supremacist who goes around murdering women, children and colored folk, while wearing a bed sheet?  I have watched some recent videos by young defected N Korean soldiers, about how they had a totally false notion of the US, from all the propaganda.  I see Europeans as being brainwashed too.

Chronos eats his own children aka Saturn in Roman mythology.  So you support Greco-Roman mythology?

I don't hope you end up in a Sharia harem.  Because i don't think you would like it.

It's like Coruscant finding out the Emperor is dead.

Humans emote, which is good.  Humans don't think, which is bad.

Trump seems awful quiet lately, or has the media lost interest in him?  I know he's working on his court case stuff.  Well his lawyers are, but it's not like him to remain silent for more than 20 minutes.

[Unbeliever]

I think he's been playing golf all week.

[SGOS]

I can only find an update for yesterday at this site, which I only discovered two minutes ago.  It goes back day by day, for I don't know how far.

We can only hope.
