The very successful comedian. They both use humor in the same way … they take what someone asserts and then runs very far with the argument to prove how it is absurd.

It is not that they look alike … it is one was rough-handled out of a communist state and the other has been anxietied from the hearth of a empire on life support and yet their humor uses the same structure.

Sorry just something that I actually thought of while in the shower

Tyler Perry does not need anyone else’s validation for his success.

Who is the other combatant in this supposed cold war ?

The Cold War was between the US and the USSR. They did not actually fight or bomb each other.

The USA, Israel, and Iran and others are actually killing people, destroying property, and destroying wealth. That is not a cold war.

The other wars weren’t cold. Vietnam was not a cold war. Neither was Korea nor the first Iraq war were not cold wars.

So I’m not sure I understand the question.

edit because lazy:

i agree with these argument below about the Cold War being a proxy function of mutually assured destruction between the US and the USSR.

But I still maintain that the Cold War meant that the significant powers never faced off. So that war of coldness was because they never inter-tangled directly into hotness.

And I yield that sure the collection of proxy wars and mayhem caused by that should be cataloged as part of the Cold War. I’m not trying to minimize those wars and death and destruction.

But when people spoke of the Cold War they spoke of the US American President and the leader of the Communist Party of USSR.

Not the leaders of Vietnam and Algeria.

The confusion should be the lesson but oh well.

It depends on who is talking about whom not where they came from or the color of their skin.

Quit operating under the three fifths compromise.

power yields nothing without force.

force is the not just the tip but the spear itself.

I think that a support network can help people be better. But that is relative to the reality of the support network. Like … be better what exactly ?

Isolation and solitude cannot socialize a being. It is antithetical to socialization.

It was illegal to be a gay male in England.

Being gay required living two lives … and one of them you had to keep in the closet. One life had to act straight and maybe even have a “beard” to appear straight.

But the other life, being gay, required some level of putting away one part of one’s being for safety.

If you don’t want/can’t move start with a space that is your space. Define some boundaries to the hoard.

Then in that space organize your clutter into things you use and things you would use.

Then use your shelves, closet, and drawers to put away all the stuff that you use.

Then in the clutter pile organize that again into “things i can’t get again” and “stuff that is easily available”

Then the hard part: throw out the “stuff that is easily available”

Repeat the process until it is space and light that fills your room.

You can’t have organizational boundaries as such so you are not willing to let some stuff go. It is hard.

And often times clutter is because of lack of shelving. Buy some shelves. And limit your possessions to your space storage. And don’t get a storage space. Just throw it out. Give it to Goodwill. Sell it on EtsyBay.

But start with your space.

Could one not conceive of a world where there is a group of actual human beings that hold different values to one’s own ?

Is that so inconceivable to a person’s worldview that it breaks a person’s sense of reality ?

Seems like a weird place to start. But here we are.

What’s crazy is that I believe that they had planned it out after their first interactions with Pretti in the days beforehand. And they prolly honed in on his facebook and figured that he would come to the aid of a woman being manhandled because of his work and life.

And then it seems that they denied him care and life saving actions of an EMT.

Could look a lot like football play in a sandlot but with dead people at the end of it.

one of the cop training courses promotes the idea that anyone with in like … 22 feet of you … has the potential to kill you.

so anytime they get close to a person that is “unsecured” and could “pose a threat” they use a lot of ready positions like a deadly tennis player looking to beat the odds on serve.

basically we are all perpetrators until proven otherwise.

Because “the revolution” to the French is not the one in 1776. Nor is it “the revolution” for most of the world. The French Revolution was the big one for most of the world.

That makes a cataract of meaning for the USA.

Americans and Europeans disdain the French over WW2 with little regard to the damage done to human life in France during WW1. There are still uninhabitable zones in France from the world military poisoning swathes of land in WW1 with shells, mines, munitions, and corpses.

They are both called WW for a reason. They are inextricably linked.

Gonna have many different colors wristbands for different folks. Maybe the Jewish folks can get two stars this time for status as a return player.

And I bet eventually one will be able to pay for a gold one especially from Trump.
