 Yep. Its all a bunch of oldies. Until you, i was the youngest member of the troll community.

 I think i was around 27 or so when i joined. Im 45 now so if that isnt a testimony to how fucking dorky we all are, i dont know what is.

 Ill say it gets sad and scary when all the ones who were "seniors" when i was new to the boards have all since died.

 For like 18 years Obi was the first person to wish me a happy birthday. He beat out my own kids in wishing me a happy birthday first lol.

 Peaches is gone. El Phuppy. Toknee Montana. Lemon. Then members who just simply dont post but i still know on socail media...so i can watch them age.

 But yes, the troll community is quite geriatric lol.

I can remember when Trump the media and the Dems considered Trump an anti racist good guy.

Donald Trump reiterated on Tuesday during a Cabinet meeting that he is planning on sending out tariff-derived payments to Americans and stressed that income tax refunds will likely increase next year as White House officials pivoted to an affordability message.

"Next year is projected to be the largest tax refund season ever, and we're going to give out refunds out of the tariffs," he said at the White House. He said that along with "giving a nice dividend to the people," there will be efforts to reduce the national debt with the revenues generated by the tariffs.

"We are going to be making a dividend to the people," the president said, projecting higher revenues from the tariffs. "As time goes by ... those numbers are going to go up."

 Well individual pigeons are pretty clean. Pigeons will gather in very large flocks and yeah a flock of anything is gonna be filthy.

 Especially a flock of humans. Ill never forget how New Orleans looked after Mardi Gras. The whole French Quater was trashed.

Quote from: Reggie Essent on December 02, 2025, 05:51:09 PMMy Cat Poppy would find a way to get it.  She's a bird murderer when it's warm out.

 Shouldnt let that kittie outside, Reg!

 You know what else ive seen in my relationship with outside animals? Ive seen pet cats hit by cars (intentionally even), shot with darts and BBs, and poisoned with shit like anti freeze.

 And this is often how it happens. Lets say one of your neighbors has a garden and likes to attrack birds to watch....and your kitty is a bird killer and has killed several birds and your cat has now become the bane of someones existence. Or it just pees in their garden and kills all their plants. Or its damaging any part of their house (going after mice that are under the house)

 Cats are a highly destructive, invasive species and people who hate them...really hate them.  If your cat makes a human ememy out there just by being a cat....thats not gonna be good for the cat. They have no idea they are pissing someone off. They are just being cats. That human very well may do something.  Ive talked to people like this....their points are valid, but the hatred they develop for an animal just doing its thing is unhinged.  They have NO problem severely injuring or killing that cat. They view the cat like its some fuzzy boogie man who is destroying their life. Im not being dramatic at all. On reddit these people have a whole subreddit about how much they hate cats and they even hate people who love and have cats. They are not okay mentally.

 If mine got out there? Theyd be killing birds like crazy. They sit in the window and just quiver with excitement. I never feel bad for mice that come in here. They are asking for what they get.

 You should put one of those break away collars on your cat and put a camera on it. There is a guy who does this with his cat and he has a whole youtube channel of it. His cat is always fighting all the other cats. Its a whole drama.

 Also keep in mind that loose dogs, coyotes and fox will kill cats. As well racoons. I dont know what kind of wild life you have around but a coyote has no mercy.

Quote from: Lokmar on December 02, 2025, 12:13:05 PMSo when's this crash, josephine? WHEN?

Well Lokmar....I'm not sure.

But I keep hearing itll be a rough time. Ie -


That's why I'm rebalancing the portfolio rather than later when it's too late.

Takin' a page outta Warren Buffets playbook, should be at least 40% invested in TBills & safe utility stocks that will never go out of business like banks utilities eh? Or the larger banks that will never go outta business  if ya can't find one in the States, then RBC ie Royal Bank of Canada is a safe bet cuz it's like a government backed security. The government here will never let it go bankrupt. I think even Americans buy their stock in the NYSE. Or Canadian Utilities stock is recommended by Americans on YouTube. Another quasi government stock that wont go bankrupt.

As far as the USA goes I think even investing in Google and Apple aren't bad either because they can be a defensive AND an offensive stock at the same time. In hard times people will need cheap entertainment. Of course Google owns YouTube which actually provides a lot of ordinary people with a steady income, even in bad times. They get paid for providing free entertainment and content to the public. And Apple iTunes which is another source of cheap entertainment. Also companies that provide games which is also a cheap entertainment. Netflix as well.

But of course when people don't have any money they wont buy a Tesla or go on expensive vacations. Or buy homes.

Rather prepare for hard times now rather than later...eh Lokmar?

Some Native Groups Slam Buffy St Marie but she set up a charitable foundation to promote a positive image for Native people. And she gave her own hard earned money to native groups. In fact she did more for Native people & communities than many Natives do for their own.

If she is so tainted then they should give the money back.

But of course they won't

So there's a lot of hypocrisy on the part of Natives who attack her but still take her money and won't give it back hey Herman Herm & Shen Li Shen
