Humanity Will Never Be Free of Oppression

 

I listen to every episode of The Moth on my podcast app. They are always entertaining, moving, inspirational, and sometimes devastating to listen to. Today I got devastating. I listened to a woman who was a reporter traveling to Syria to report on the civil conflict there. This ends up making me feel so bloody lucky to be where I am, so I will never experience the things she did. She describes being in a cell not knowing if she is going to die. The cell is covered in blood. She focuses in on a young boy being tortured to death. She listens as he screams in pain and begs to God for help, and cries out for his Mother. This makes me so intensely sad for people who live this. It also fills me with intense rage toward people who can do things like this and still sleep at night. Humanity can be the most glorious of creatures and the worst of demons. Long ago I lost the ability to think we will not end our planet in a hellish nuke fight. Things like this make it harder for me to see that humanity has done great things to help the world. The fact that the country to the south of us right now has several states that have passed laws to harm Transgender people is repugnant to me. To literally take away peoples freedoms and rights as a human being is not acceptable. I see the possibility of  religious zealous taking over and people being murdered for how they where born to be. People already on mass think being trans is somehow the greatest threat to humanity. It's an easy step to the tipping point and the American version of the night of breaking glass. The older I get the more I feel for others, and I feel rage and the desire to expel religion form the face of the earth. To be honest this won't stop thing. People who have no Gods have also done horrific things in the name of the motherland. We are not capable of change for one simple reason, there will always be the rise of evil. It comes in cycles and repeats it's self in history over and over. The sad thing is, every time no one seems to see it coming until it's way too late and great harm is unleashed on humanity.

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.
