Thoughts Can Change the World

Cleaner friend one time was driving down the road - me in the passenger seat. Meat Loaf - Paradise By The Dashboard Light comes on the radio and he turns the station. I said "that song is awesome, why did you turn". His response was "No one likes that shit song". LOL. So one of the most played songs in the history of man and no one likes it hay? LOL. This is what they mean by imposing your views on the world.

There are a lot of people out there now that literally think what they believe is right and only that and furthermore they think that most people think the way they do. The best part is most of them are actually on the fringe of reality in what they think is the norm. Then when someone does not agree with them at the least they say they are wrong and won't listen to reason. Some times they will demonise the person and all who think different from them.

The latter is when it gets dangerous. When you start to think that your version of reality must be adhered to at all cost then you become a danger to the world. This is how wars get started and how tragic acts of terror become the norm in some countries. All for the misguided belief that only you have the answers on how to live or how to think.

Hell even Christianity in some forms think that thought is a sin. There is the rub and how the idea of the thought police came to reality. Although the idea defiantly was reinforced in the 1980's in the USA with the way the government and popular political ideology was turning.

The diversity of thought we enjoy in our nation is why we have progressed so far. If it where not for this diversity we would still be in the dark ages hanging onto the ideals of religious tenons that kept people uneducated and deep in poverty to control them. It was the spreading of thought and ideas that changed the world and took us from those dark times to what we are now. Never let anyone put us back to that point.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

Matilde Vicenzi Cookies Are Great

Image
Was sent these by a good friend for a birthday gift. They are really very good. Quite possibly the best cookies I've had in years. I tried them all, and I like the white one you see in the bottom picture, as it had a lemon taste to it. Some had a bit of liquid chocolate in them and where very good as well. Like normal, the ones with the bit of jam in them where a bit too sticky and chewie. But I seriously enjoyed all of them. These are great. I'm going to look them up on Amazon and if they are not too much money, I'm getting more for Christmas. OK just looked it up and NOPE, it's $28 a can. They are very good, but that is a bit out of my price range. But the usual Christmas Danish Butter Cookies are also kind of a lot of money now as well. They are also a bit moist, and not super dry like usual. Also not powdery like a lot of them do. I'd give these an 8/10 and would recommend highly.

YEAH THAT'S NOT A SCAM, I'LL EMAIL YOU RIGHT AWAY LOL

Image
 The anatomy of a scam. This is the exact format I've seen several times on other people's videos on YouTube (in the comments). See if you went to my channel the latest video would be at the top of the list and this was on an older one. There is literally an email link in my profile on YouTube and it was not used (even if it was I'd not fall for this crap). They use the words "your family" to make you react emotionally. You have thoughts like "Is someone hurt or in trouble"? This is almost always a way to try and get "money to your family member in need". Or it's a way to get information out of you. Sometimes it's a long lost relative you never freaking heard of leaving you money. There will always be a fee you need to pay for the legal matters to be cleared up and you to get the money. SCAM. It's interesting I've seen so many people reaching out on YouTube to people about "their family" this few months.
