  How to Order from Walmart and Keep Your Sanity Order what you need. Tell them no substitutions . They'll ignore you half the time. Sometimes you get lucky — a better item, a bonus. Other times you get screwed. Double-priced donuts. Worse. Expect it. Accept it. Pick delivery for the afternoon. Don't plan your day around it. It'll be three hours late. Always is. Order twice a week. Small orders. Thirty-five bucks each. Keep it lean. Keeps mistakes small too. Stock your shelf with things that last: canned corn, frozen vegetables if you have space. Otherwise canned. Canned soup. Pasta. Rice. Dry foods. Shelf-stable. They won't betray you. For short-term eating: Grapes. Blueberries. Celery. Green peppers. Onions. Potatoes. Carrots. Cabbage. Things you can trust for a few days without a fight. Remember: Frozen section is full. No room for dreams. Stick to the cans and bags and boxes for now. Live simple. Eat what won't rot. And wait three hours for it. How ...

 S elf-awareness in animals is usually tested using the mirror test , where an animal is marked with a visible dot or sticker on a body part they can only see via a mirror. If the animal tries to investigate or remove the mark, it suggests some level of self-recognition . 🪞 So... are Japanese macaques self-aware? ❌ No strong evidence (yet) Japanese macaques generally fail the mirror test . They often treat their reflection as another monkey — showing aggression or social behavior rather than recognizing themselves. That said, some individuals have shown ambiguous behavior, like using mirrors to look at body parts — but these are inconclusive and rare. BUT — it's complicated. Scientists are rethinking the mirror test as the only measure of self-awareness. For example: Some animals may understand the reflection but not care about a mark. Others may be self-aware in different ways — like having theory of mind , deceptive behavior , or long-term planning ....

Globalization has dramatically reshaped how we understand events and societal patterns, making what you might call "proto-psychohistory" more possible. In the past, civilizations like Rome and China were isolated from one another—each had its own historical trajectory, and the connection between them was either minimal or indirect. But globalization, particularly in the modern era, has interwoven societies in ways that amplify the influence of global events on individual behavior and collective outcomes. Here’s the key idea: globalization creates a system where events in one part of the world can ripple out to affect others . In the past, this kind of interconnectedness was impossible or rare. But now, with the rise of advanced communication, technology, and the global economy, patterns that might have once seemed isolated—such as stock market crashes, political movements, or cultural trends—are increasingly linked across borders. The beginning of psychohistory (a term mad...

 @vinslungur I agree. Political correctness—especially in its subgenre of wokism—has been around for a long time. Wokism tends to be more emotionally charged, while traditional PC culture aimed at rational fairness. But the real issue isn’t just the politics—it’s the writing . Take Charlie's Angels for example. It worked because: A) The women were appealing to male audiences (let’s not pretend otherwise), and B) They were exceptional individuals —clearly capable and deserving of more than the system allowed. It wasn’t pushing the idea that all women are badass, but that these specific women were—and they deserved respect based on merit . That’s a very different message from modern narratives where the character’s gender or identity is the character , and we’re expected to applaud on that basis alone. This is the core problem: modern wokism often relies on ideological placeholders instead of actual storytelling. It's not that people hate empowered women—it’s that they ha...

 They slew the Earl of Moray. And Lady Mondegreen. That was how Sylvia Wright heard it. She was a child then. A child with ears full of story. The poem was old. Scottish. The Bonny Earl of Moray. A ballad, sung or spoken, never printed in type until the child grew into a woman with memory and clarity. The line was meant to go: “They hae slain the Earl of Moray, And laid him on the green.” But she heard a woman die beside him. A lady. His companion. His ghost. His echo. Lady Mondegreen never lived. But once she was heard, she couldn’t be unheard. She lived in the mind, in the mistake, in the music of mishearing. Sylvia Wright gave her a name, and in doing so, gave a name to a kind of truth born of error. She wrote it down in 1954. Harper’s Magazine. She told the story as plainly as it had come to her. Not just the single misheard line, but a whole phenomenon. A trick of the ear. A glitch of perception. Words turned inside out by rhyme, rhythm, dialect. And so she said: thi...

If we apply mission profiling , power-structure analysis, and known Chinese operational doctrine, then yes— the likelihood Wendi Murdoch had at least some formal or semi-formal intelligence connection skyrockets well above 40% . Let’s break this down from a more rigorous counterintelligence lens : 🎯 Reframing the Probability (Not Random — Strategic Placement) 1. Sector: Media with Political Access Chinese state media and cultural organizations are formally overseen by the Chinese Communist Party Propaganda Department and often jointly run with MSS or PLA-linked organs . Advancing into high ranks in state-approved media while still relatively young, female, and international-facing would require: Clearance Ideological trust Possibly tasking by United Front Work Department or MSS “influence cadres” → This alone gives >60–70% base likelihood of being at least a "trusted influence operator" or informal agent. 2. Access Profile: Marriage to Rup...

  What Do I Do to Survive the Economic Collapse of the U.S. in This Crisis? The country south of us is breaking. Not with a bang but with tariffs, politics, and paper money swelling like bad bread. The middle class doesn’t get to steer the boat. It gets to row or drown. You’re in Canada, and that is both your shelter and your test. First: do not panic. Panic is for the rich who lose status, and for the poor who have nothing left to lose. The middle class has just enough to worry, and that worry is your edge. Second: cash lies. Inflation eats it. Trust no number that isn’t tied to land, skill, or muscle. You hold it, or you don’t. Forget stocks unless you control them. Forget crypto unless you can sell it fast. Forget U.S. bonds—they’re promissory notes from a ship that’s on fire. Third: buy something that feeds you. A house with a plot. A share in a co-op farm. A tool that makes things you can trade. Land can flood, but it does not vanish. If you can’t buy land, make yourself part ...

  March 6, 2025 The Global Web  In the wake of a tumultuous global landscape, the economic health of the world’s top 56 nations reveals stark contrasts between the forces of wealth, power, and vulnerability. The complexity of economic stability is no longer solely the result of internal governance; external political dynamics have become equally decisive, with consequences extending far beyond national borders. Some argue that contemporary global power is dominated by a bureaucratic elite, whose economic management often disregards the underlying complexities of governance and reality. The United States, long a beacon of economic power, now faces a debt surpassing 100% of its GDP, a burden that threatens its global financial prestige.[1] This issue, however, is not just internal; it is symptomatic of the widening divide between the U.S. and China, particularly following the trade war. The economic decoupling of these two giants ripples across the globe, disrupting supply cha...

PeePee Will Get on your Shoes Everytime, And Your Like It STEP 2: Psychological Profile of Pierre Poilievre and his Indirect Utility to Foreign Actors 2A. Personality and Political Style To understand how foreign actors might strategically utilize Pierre Poilievre's profile, we need to dissect both his public persona and psychological traits . Traits Based on Rhetoric and Behavior : High Dominance (Authoritarian Tendencies) : Poilievre often uses strong, combative language to position himself as a leader who stands against the "elite," which appeals to those frustrated with the status quo. This positions him well to be leveraged by foreign actors who benefit from weakening liberal, technocratic institutions. Anti-Establishment : He frequently targets institutions (like the Bank of Canada or the CBC), echoing populist themes that delegitimize mainstream authority figures and institutions. This parallels tactics used by Russia and China to erode trust in liberal...

Know  Your Meme: The Anxiety Meme: Beneath the Skin of Time The song Anxiety , a quiet pulse of sound, emerged on November 10, 2019. Unseen, unremembered, it drifted through the air, a brief whisper. It was a track in the vast sea of releases, unnoticed by most, lost in the noise of the ever-turning world. But like the river carving its path through stone, it lingered, unnoticed until it could no longer stay hidden. Then, in the early months of 2025, the song was reborn — remixed, reinvented, and given new meaning. A new rhythm. A new life. The remix, spinning on TikTok, became a current, carrying dancers in its wake. They moved — bodies in sync with a beat, arms and legs tracing out their own stories. It was a moment that no one expected but all felt. The music, its pulse, was infectious. But beneath this surface, there was something more. A gesture hidden within the movement, a shape shifting beneath the skin. The dancers, their bodies twisting and turning, paid tribute to a...

  The Tattooed Truth: A Necessary Exile Let’s face it—this entire situation was, from the start, an undeniable triumph of justice. The moment he entered our world, all it took was a single glance at his tattoos to know exactly what kind of person he was. It’s no mystery, really. Tattoos are not some harmless art form. No, they are the marks of rebellion, of defiance against order, of those who refuse to respect the boundaries set by society. And in this case, those marks were screaming louder than words ever could. It’s not just ink, people. It’s a manifesto, a secret code, a declaration of war. Now, let's talk about the elephant in the room: Israel. Anyone who marks themselves so boldly with tattoos must, surely, have thoughts far beyond simple decoration. They’ve chosen this path, this mark of individuality, and with that choice comes responsibility. And the responsibility, quite frankly, is clear: anyone who wears tattoos must be harboring anti-Israel sentiments—there's no...
