one day at a time

One day at at time. That’s all any of us have. The future isn’t looking so rosy right now (what’s the number up to, kids?). Will there even be one, give the HB’s continued march to extinction? No. 1, we have this pressing potential nuclear situation, 2) HBs don’t currently populate enough to continue their own species, and 3) the unknown ramifications of developing AI technology. HBs throughout history, use their “discoveries” to their own demise. Painting your face with lead, smoking cigarettes, eating and introducing GMOs into the food chain, PFAS and plastics from manufacturing, all are examples of things HBs promote for dollars, without understanding what they were really dealing with and how it would impact them and society. And some greedy bastards DO know how bad their products are. but still put them out there anyway. What does that tell you? (♬ The ants going marching one by one… ♬)

Now,

Scientists on Wednesday described how pieces of pure platinum and copper spontaneously healed cracks caused by metal fatigue during nanoscale experiments that had been designed to study how such cracks form and spread in metal placed under stress. They expressed optimism that this ability can be engineered into metals to create self-healing machines and structures in the relatively near future.

On the positive, this may help HBs develop their technology for deep space exploration; but, on the negative, the implications for use on weapons of war is just terrifying.

Self-healing metal? It’s not just the stuff of science fiction

In the 1991 film “Terminator 2: Judgment Day,” a malevolent time-traveling and shape-shifting android called T-1000 that was made of liquid metal demonstrated a unique quality. Self-healing metal is still just science fiction, right?

    AI can control your image and make you say and anything on film if they pay you for one day’s work.

    He said studios had asked for the ability to scan the faces of background artists for the payment of one day’s work, and then be able to own and use their likeness “for the rest of eternity, in any project they want, with no consent and no compensation”.

    Spiders hate the smell of citrus, and using essential oils or cleansing materials around the home that are made up of citrusy scents is an easy, invisible way to keep spiders at bay. This handy hack needn’t be restricted to your interiors, though. Make citrus-infused water by pouring boiling water over several pieces of citrus peel and letting them soak overnight. The next day, strain the water into a spray bottle with equal parts witch hazel. Spray your concoction all around your home’s foundation, windows and doors to keep spiders away. Mixing water with peppermint or eucalyptus oil and spraying around the house is another great way to get rid of spiders.

    Spiders are also known to infest plants, but they dislike mint and lavender. Add these plantings to window boxes to drive the arachnids away from obvious entryways. As for other greenery, adding orange peels to your potting soil for both your indoor and outdoor houseplants can repel spiders. Additionally, this trick deters ants and other bugs. And since spiders feast on bugs, keeping them away from your home is yet another way to discourage spiders. If they don’t have an abundant food source, spiders will go elsewhere. Whichever method you choose, though, make sure to use it inside and out for best results.

    An operation, lasting less than an hour, that uses electrical currents to destroy hard-to-reach tumours, offers hope for thousands of men with prostate cancer in the UK. Described as a “game-changing” treatment, the innovative procedure could eventually lead to a cure. Surgeons have hailed the “amazingly simple and quick” technique known as the ‘Nanoknife’ operation.

    The ‘Nanoknife’ technique directs electric shocks towards the tumour, deploying a process called irreversible electroporation. This approach opens up the cell membrane of the tumour less intrusively than traditional methods, thereby reducing the potential harm to adjacent organs and tissues.

    Employing this transformative method, physicians can aim at tumours that are typically challenging to reach. This treatment ushers in new opportunities for patients suffering from prostate cancer, setting the stage for a more straightforward and efficacious cure.

    Nothing you own that uses WiFi is safe. They can be accessed against your will and without your knowledge by anybody with the right equipment. PARIS (AP) — French lawmakers on Tuesday adopted a sweeping justice reform bill that includes a provision to allow law enforcement agents to remotely tap into the cameras, microphones and location services of phones and other internet-connected devices of some suspected criminals.

    The measure plainly stipulates that the procedure can be executed “without the knowledge or consent of its owner or possessor” but is limited to suspects involved in terrorism, organized crime and other illegal activities punishable by five or more years in prison.

    The language authorizing eavesdropping was contained in a broader reform bill aimed at “modernizing” penal procedures. Reflecting what polls indicate is a public demand for more law and order, the National Assembly, the lower house of the French Parliament, adopted two ambitious bills Tuesday that are aimed at bolstering the country’s creaky judicial system.

    When you answer a call and interact with the voice prompt or by pressing a number, it lets spammers know your number is real. They can then sell your number to another company or begin targeting your number more frequently.

      How to Protect Yourself from AI Scammers
      Ready or not, AI is here, and scammers are using it against seniors.
      Here’s what you need to know if the person on the other end of that call is your loved one or a vocal clone.

      It’s 3 am. Your phone rings and wakes you out of a deep sleep. The caller ID is familiar; a colleague, friend, or family member. When you answer, it sounds just like them. They tell you they’ve been kidnapped and need $10,000 wired to a bank account, or they’ll be “sleeping with the fishes.” It’s not until after the damage is done that you realize the voice you heard was a vocal clone created by a scammer who used websites like ElevenLabs. It sounds like an episode of Black Mirror, but unfortunately, this type of scam is becoming increasingly common.

      4 Trick to Determine if the Voice is Real or A.i.

      Trick #1: Tell it to sing “Happy Birthday” 🥳 (or… really…anything)
      One thing AI can’t do (quickly) is sing. Yes, people have used it to create songs that haven’t existed, but that process does not happen instantly. This could change down the road, but for now, it seems to be the easiest way to determine a voice’s authenticity.

      Trick #2: Have A Safe Word
      Have a conversation with your family and agree on a “safe word” that can be requested in an emergency to authenticate that the voice belongs to the family member.

      Trick #3: Ask it A Personal Question
      Ask it a question that ONLY the real person would know. Try to make it a question that references something that occurred several years ago and NOT the recent past. A scammer will have likely scrubbed social media feeds, so they may already be aware of things you’ve recently posted.

    Did You Know

    The oldest known drinking straw dates to approximately 3,000 BCE and was found in a Sumerian tomb. The straw is made of gold and inlaid with precious stones. It’s possible that straws are even older but, made from less durable materials, no known examples have survived to the present.

      One of the most iconic LEGO pieces is the minifigure itself: the little man or woman with bright yellow skin and a multitude of different jobs. But LEGO was around for two decades before the first minifigure hit the scene. And back then, there wasn’t as much to the little guys as there is now.

      Did You Know

      The name of the style of pants called “chinos”, typically khaki colored and made from cotton twill, comes to English by way of the Spanish language. The cloth was originally made in China and Spanish soldiers called the pants made from it “pantalones chinos” or “Chinese pants”. When U.S. soldiers came home from the Spanish-American War, they brought the pants and the name “chinos” home with them.

    If you may recall when digital movies were beginning to come out, or even before when vhs and beta tapes allowed people to tape movies the movie executives came out in droves complaining that the technology will do serious damage to the movie business as people will be able to record and store the movies and not have to pay to go again to see it. These executives are the same people who are now complaining about the writer and actor strike where the companies are making writers and actors sign contracts that allow the company to use their words or image likeness in perpetuity through AI for no pay.

      It’s about the money. Greed is driving the world economy. In America, businesses see an opportunity to monopolize. All they have to do is grease the palms of the SCOTUS justices to get a favorable ruling. Soon there will be no area in the economy that doesn’t have its own set of monopolies or oligarchs controlling the how much Americans pay for goods and services.

      Diversity, equality, and inclusiveness has been destroyed by America’s bought and paid for SCOTUS in every sector of America including its schools of higher learning where young minds are trained to carry the torch. By the time students arrive to their schools of higher learning, they have been living in America’s highly unequal society for 18 years. One can wish that weren’t the case, but it is, and there are real problems with pretending otherwise.

    The system of ocean currents that regulates the climate for a large part of earth is about to change. When that happens it will be almost impossible for the humans to do anything to reverse the disaster they have created. Your suggestion that we allow the cattle herders to manage the matter is illogical. They don’t care if the climate kills off more humans as they feed on the dead as well as the live cattle.

Doesn’t matter if you voted them in. Doesn’t matter if you’re a good ol boy. They see you as dairy cattle to be milked and herded until you drop dead. THEY ARE COMING FOR ALL OF YOU NEXT. We have to stop fighting amongst each other. How long until people realize this?!

    You are no longer authorized to be the sole farmers of the Arctica islandica, in the North Atlantic Ocean. 8*/` has developed a process to increase this ocean quahog’s normal life span from 500 years to 1500. If humans discover this increase in the clam’s lifespan, they will farm it into extinction. You may continue to use the enzymes they produce to extend your people’s lifespan, but you must share the benefits with other MotherShips seeking increased longevity for their occupants.

      Why are we being singled out for farming marine organisms that we need to assist in expanding our people’s lives? I*/~ are farming ocean quahogs off the U.S. East Coast. Those quahogs can live for at least 200 years.

    • Anonymous says:

      The secret which is no longer a secret is that those of us who came here to farm earth’s oceans marine life for its abundance of creatures that can increase the lifespans of our peoples have been mislead. While we argue and fight among ourselves for the right to farm earth creatures that live 200 to 500 years, ˇÓ´ ´Â∏´‰O‰ has been keeping secret the fact that the reason earth is being Gated is to prevent the unauthorized farming the siliceous sponges. Their secrets can increase the lifespans of land based species from 10,000 to 20,000 years. Galaxies have gone to war to acquire the secrets to a 5,000 life extension.

      The question is how long will ˇÓ´ ´Â∏´‰O‰ be able to prevent such a war? Even with the ˙ˆß ©®åç´alliance, it is doubtful that such a war can be prevented.

    We no longer farm the quahog on the US east coast. We farm the Greenland shark now because it is easier to synthesize the elements it produces to live 300 to 500 years

  15. V[8 says:

    I am tired of aliens making arguments suggesting that humans have any redeeming value other than a good meal. The list of truly evil humans during the history of mankind is a very long list. Sometimes evil is shown by entire armies, such as those involved with the Rape of Nanking. It’s well documented that, among the worst of the atrocities committed by the Japanese Army upon the innocent civilians of Nanking, China, was the “game” that the soldiers would play… which consisted of one soldier tossing a screaming Chinese infant into the air, and another soldier would try to catch the baby with his bayonet.

    Sometimes pure evil was the act of a single person. One such person was Lavrentiy Beria, who was Joseph Stalin’s Chief of the USSR’s secret police, the NKVD. He was in charge of the mass murders such as The Katyn Massacre, which was the all at once massacre of 22,000 Polish Army officers. But other times, he took a much more personal role, such as during one of the endless purges of Soviet officers and officials after WWII and well into the 1950s. Many of those who were murdered at a moment’s notice after a knock on their door, were peers and acquaintances of Stalin and Beria. One particular official was a friend of Beria’s, as they often dined together and visited each other’s homes and families. One night, Beria had his friend arrested and brought to the Secret Police headquarters to be questioned. When it became clear that he was going to be executed, despite his pleading with his friend, the man asked Beria for one last favor before he was killed. He asked Beria to please take care of his mother, who had often hosted their friendly get-togethers.

    Beria agreed, for old time’s sake. He sent an officer to bring the mother to the headquarters. When she arrived, he strangled the woman in front of her son, with his own hands. She was taken care of. Then he executed his friend.

    I can think of few examples of pure evil that are more clear than that. It seems difficult for some aliens to fathom, how a human can sink into such depravity. Yet they still exist today, as they always have. We should never underestimate the bestiality of the human species or their capacity for destruction of their environment. It exists among them; and always will.

    To put things into perspective, regarding these post-war purge executions and the valuelessness of human life… records show that there were 799,455 executions of Soviet citizens by Stalin’s and Beria’s order, from the 1930’s to 1953 (notice much of this was AFTER WWII). Not counting the nearly two million gulag deaths. And of course not counting the 20 million or so who died during that time period by way of the artificially produced famine that Stalin caused. This is why Putin finds it so easy to continue the tradition, with assassinations, executions, and sending so many soldiers to be cannon fodder.

    As for Beria… shortly after Stalin’s death in 1953, he was arrested by the other members of the Central Committee, which included Nikita Khrushchev, who eventually succeeded Stalin. Beria was charged with over 100 rapes and torture of Soviet girls as young as seven years old, as well as being charged with treason and other offences, trumped up or not. But the truth is, the Central Committee was frightened of what more evil he would do. With his protector Stalin gone… and a death sentence given… Beria fell to the floor and begged on his knees for mercy. He and his lieutenants were taken away and promptly shot, under order of his friends and peers. His wife and son were sent to a Siberian labor camp.

    The end of Beria. But hardly the end of human evil. These monsters rise to power because we humans allow them to. Sometimes we even cheer them on and empower them; because we are stupid.

    “I didn’t know why people kept mentioning “small towns,” but assumed it was a pop culture reference I was missing.

    So, I googled it.

    Jason Aldean, a country singer I’ve never heard of and will probably never think about again after people stop talking about him, recently released a song called, “Try That in a Small Town.”

    The song, if you’ve not heard it, threatens violence on people who do various things like car jacking, stomping on a flag, “cussing out” a cop, or robbing a liquor store at gun point.

    A friend of mine pointed out that Aldean is from Macon, Georgia, with a population of over 150,000.

    That’s… not a small town.

    I’m from Logan, WV. Population is 1,400.

    I came from Chauncey, WV, a coal camp in Logan. Population is 283. I am actually from “Chauncey Holler” (Hollow). Population is probably fewer than 100 people.

    I’m from an actual small town.

    I’m descended from the Hatfield/Vance clan of Hatfield and McCoy repute. I’m cut from the Shawnee resistance to the Indian Removal Act. My ancestors were freedmen. My ancestors mined the coal that kept the pacified middle class warm and cozy in their domesticated complacency.

    And yes, if you come to an actual small town as an outsider and do things that seem threatening to insiders, they’ll handle it internally.

    That much is true.

    What Jason Aldean is talking about isn’t anything like what people from actual small towns would say. In fact, you won’t hear from them at all because it is not in the ethos of people from insular, isolated communities to try and posture with the outside world.

    They don’t think people are actually going to come there and try to burn their crumbling infrastructure and rob their single-wide trailers and their dead grandma’s house they squat with duct tape and cut up trash bags for windows.

    No city person is traveling to the middle of nowhere to steal your Aunt Gert’s Buick Skylark, Jason.

    They don’t carry enough jugs of oil and coolant to pull over every few miles and top it off because they have not been waiting on that black lung settlement for over a decade to get their car fixed.

    Noey (Noah) Mullens, the town mechanic, passes everyone’s car inspection because no one cares about regulations. The police would not ticket Aunt Gert, either, because when most everyone is that Poor, the police know better.

    The police don’t “cross that line.”

    No one is afraid of getting caught or being reported because no one is looking.

    No one cares. No city folk care. No suburban country music singers care.

    They’re invisible.

    Police do not have much of a role in small towns. People do handle things on their own. No one is spitting in a cop’s face in a small town because Officer Joe Sias and his brother Don aren’t patrolling.

    They probably never fired their weapons on the job at anything other than a rabid raccoon or coyote, and they’re considerably less armed than the average citizen. No one calls the police to report crimes.

    But in a small town, you are very likely to be robbed by your neighbor’s adult kid with a meth or oxycontin addiction. They’ll steal your grandparents’ cancer and hospice meds and your tube TV.

    And no one riots in a small town because they can’t afford to reach the power structures that left them so poor.

    At nights, people steal the flood grates around small towns for scrap metal. They loot abandoned houses and businesses for copper wire and metal pipes to scrap. No one is ever going to revitalize those structures, so people just look the other way. By day they pick up beer and soda cans on the side of the road— for scrap.

    Anything to avoid the mines.

    Aldean’s video shows b-roll of protests, property destruction, violence, and generally unrelated incidents in big cities.

    Nobody in those videos cares about what’s happening in somebody’s small town. This is the suburbanite white dude fantasy version of Scarface. It’s the product of having no sense of personal identity and appropriating some ill-imagined mixture of actual generational Poverty culture (which is not a white phenomenon) and a wholly American mythos of having a closed culture that worships assimilation.

    They often don’t think they’re racist because they often do genuinely like their Black and Brown neighbors who fish and hunt with them and go to their churches and whose kids are on their kids’ little league team.

    They have a vision of living in community that they can’t bring to reality because things have changed since the boomer generation’s good hand. They have dreams of being financially successful if they just work hard enough, but those dreams are not coming to fruition because they’re an American myth.

    They’re trying to hold on to a sense of grandiosity characterized by surviving struggles they never experienced and by having values they don’t understand or have no connection to.

    They are angry at anyone defying the order because they cope with the loss of hope for a mythical future by trying to blame people being crushed by the systems that are also eroding the white working class (at a slower rate).

    The rate has been so slow, they don’t realize their sentimentality about how great this nation is came from lies they were told and an identity that is as empty and illusory as the history they learned in school.

    It’s the equivalent of trying to be the proverbial “golden child” to an abusive parent, maintaining the illusion that the truth-telling “scapegoat” is actually the problem.

    That’s the “great again” that people like that bank on. The proverbial “New Jerusalem.”

    Is the song racist?

    That’s the wrong question, because it’s oversimplified.

    Is the song a mediocre by-product of a mass delusion that white settlers have agreed to maintain because they too had their identities stolen by colonialism, so that they are also defined by Uncle Sam’s toxic legacy as the golden child who is too cowardly to ask questions, hear the truth, accept accountability, or fight back?

    Yes.

    This peacock of a song is a blatant and pitiable attempt at being unable to accept that they only get a pass from Uncle Sam when they assimilate into a fictional character that upholds the colonial ego of Big Daddy Nationalism and Mama Manifest Destiny.

    Unpacking that everything you’ve ever been told is a lie is hard work, and they’re not cut out for that because they’re not actually workers.

    They aren’t the cheap labor they benefit from. Their “small town” fantasy is as sincere as their “honest worker” fantasy.

    They need to consult their ancestors, and not just the ones who got free [stolen] land.

    My “small town” ancestors shot the sheriffs and the deputies, they burned whole towns to the ground, and they led the most violent uprisings in the history of Uncle Sam’s invasion because they did not see the people upholding the status quo as “their own.”

    Jason Aldean has no idea who “his people” are. They’re not “small town” people. They’re the middle mass, the embodied entitlement that one inherits when they come from a legacy of settler colonialism, slave trading, and evangelical purity culture that justified genocide.

    They’ve been convincing themselves they’re fighting for something noble for so long, they see the loss of that illusion as a threat to the only identity colonialism left them with— generic whiteness.

    What he can’t handle is that he’s not a “good ol’ boy,” he’s just a bully doing the business of an abusive parent to preserve the illusion of the “pillar of community.”

    If he knew how to be in community, he would not be building a cult following on nationalistic propaganda.”

    Honey badgers are known to be fierce predators.
    Some wildlife videos are just too good not to share. This video fits that bill. Recorded by Roselyne Kerjosse in 2019, it shows three—yes, three—different species of wild animals duking it out at a wildlife reserve in Africa.

    “A wildlife wrestling showdown was captured in film by a group of amazed tourists, ending in an unexpected twist,” wrote Caters Video. “While on safari in Chobe Park, Botswana, Roselyne Kerjosse, captured an epic triple-threat match between a hungry python, a lucky honey badger, and a sneaky pair of jackals that would put the WWE to shame.”

    The video begins with the python wrapped around the honey badger, slowly squeezing it to death—before a curious jackal enters the scene. The python strikes at the jackal while keeping the rest of its body wrapped around the badger. But the jackal is undeterred. It returns, distracting the python long enough for the badger to slip free. But instead of fleeing, the badger goes on the offensive and bites the snake. It pulls on the python from one side while the jackal attacks it from the other.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgKN3BuvC3E\u0026t=8s

    Then, another jackal enters the fray and starts lunging at the badger. Eventually, the badger and jackals seem to kill the snake — and then start playing tug of war with it for several minutes, as a giant rhino can be seen walking in the background. The whole thing is African wildlife viewing at its finest. Eventually, the badger drags the snake into a bush and the jackals seem to give up.

    My closest friend of 40 years has blocked me from any and all contact with her.
    To preface, she and I have been through a lot together and she’s had my back forever. But she’s a Republican and I’m a Democrat. After going toe to toe a few years ago, we agreed not to talk politics though she would throw some shady comments in now and again which I wouldn’t acknowledge. At one of our last lunches together which was over a year ago, she teased me for wearing a mask. She also says she believes she never had breast cancer. She went through a lumpectomy and chemo and has been in remission for five years yet still states she never had cancer. Once I realized she blocked me I tried to contact her and even went to her house as this relationship is to valuable to just drop without an explanation. She didn’t answer the door. I put a note in her door. Nothing. I’ve asked a couple of friends close to us who, while they are still friends with both of us do not want to get involved. I grieved about this for two months then finally came to the conclusion that she has her reasons. At our last lunch together over a year ago I told her when she has time to call me and we’ll do lunch. Since it’s been a year and I hadn’t heard, I reached out. Nothing. Im still hurt and confused and honestly a bit worried about her. Has this happened to anyone else?

    AITAH for admitting in front of all of my husbands friends that I’ve never had an orgasm?
    Recently was my husbands friends birthday party, it was a bigger party and all my husbands friends and their wives were there. No kids.
    One woman that I’m friendly with was annoyed with her husband, and joked “men. If they didn’t get us off why would we keep them.” And she laughed. I awkwardly laughed but I guess looked uncomfortable. She asked me what was up, and she pointed out that i made a weird face. I said “I’ve just never had an orgasm before, so I guess I couldn’t relate.”
    Almost a dozen people looked at me when I said that, it was super awkward. The wife then awkwardly asked “is everything ok down there” and I said “yeah, just have never had anyone try I guess.”
    For the next ten minutes all my husbands friends took turns insulting him in various ways. Many women talked about how they’d never be married to someone who didn’t get the job done.
    My husband made us leave early. When we got home he lectured me about how I humiliated him. I pointed out that she asked, and I have a tendency to be honest. He’s been really upset the last several days, and he keeps saying he can’t talk to his friends because they now think badly of him.

    AITAH for being honest here?
    Edit: I’ve brought the issue up countless times in the past. He tells me that it’s not important/not a big deal that he doesn’t get me off. Since it’s not that important, I just don’t see why I have to hide it like some kind of dirty secret.

      My husband is a Hasidic Jew. We fuck or more accurately he fucks me every Wednesday. I lay on my back and he pounds away for about 2 minutes. Then he comes and rolls over, or gets up and leaves. Never had an orgasm until I took matters into my own hands and got a toy. The idiot still doesn’t know what it is.

      I am a prisoner of this disgusting religion. They use religion to force women into being sex slaves and second class human beings. I piss in his food at every opportunity.

    JOKE:
    A blonde walks into the police department looking for a job. The officer wants to ask her a few questions…

    Officer: What’s 2+2?

    Blonde: Ummmmm… 4!

    Officer: What’s the square root of 100?

    Blonde: Ummmm… 10!

    Officer: Good! Now, who killed Abraham Lincoln?

    Blonde: Ummmm… I dunno.

    Officer: Well, you can go home and think about it. Come back tomorrow.

    The blonde goes home and calls up one of her friends, who asks her if she got the job. The blonde says, excitedly, “Not only did I get the job, I’m already working on a murder case!”

      Joke:
      A very large woman in a sleeveless sundress walked into a bar. She raised her right arm revealing a very hairy armpit as she pointed at all the people in the bar and said, “What man here is going to buy a lady a drink?”

      The bar fell silent as everyone tried to ignore her.

      But down at the end of the bar a drunk slammed his hand down on the counter and shouted, “Give the ballerina a drink!”

      The bartender poured a drink and the woman chugged it down.

      She turned round, raised her arm again revealing the same hairy armpit and pointing at all the patrons in the bar as she said, “What man here is going to buy a lady another drink?”

      The bar again fell silent but the same old drunk at the end of the bar yelled, “Give the ballerina another drink!” and slammed his money down on the counter.

      The bartender approached the drunk and said, “Look mate, it’s your business if you want to buy that woman a drink but why do you keep call her a ballerina?”

      The drunk replied, “Any woman who can lift her leg that high has got to be a ballerina”

      (H1) The Lady and the Pharmacist

      A refined and respectable lady went into the pharmacy, walked up to the pharmacist, looked straight into his eyes, and said, “I would like to buy some cyanide.”

      The pharmacist asked, “Why in the world do you need cyanide?”

      The lady replied, “I need it to poison my husband.”

      The pharmacist’s eyes got big and he exclaimed, “Lord have mercy! I can’t give you cyanide to kill your husband. Absolutely not! You CANNOT have any cyanide!”

      The lady reached into her purse and pulled out a picture of her husband in bed with the pharmacist’s wife.

      The pharmacist looked at the picture and said, “You didn’t tell me you had a prescription.”

      JOKE:
      A man was in a long queue at his local supermarket. As he got to the register he realised he had forgotten to get condoms, so he asked the checkout girl if she could have some brought up to the register:

      She asked. “What size condoms?”

      The customer replied that he didn’t know.

      She

      asked him to drop his trousers, she reached over the counter, grabbed hold of him and called over the intercom. “One box of large condoms, Till 5.”

      The next man in line thought this was interesting and like most of us was up for a cheap thrill.

      When he got up to the register, he told the cashier that he too had forgotten to get condoms and asked if she could have some brought to the register for him.

      She asked him what size, and he stated that he didn’t know.

      She asked him to drop his trousers, gave him a quick feel, picked up the intercom microphone and said. “One box of medium sized condoms, Till 5.”

      A few customers back was this teenage boy. He thought what he had seen was way too cool. He had never had any type of sexual contact with a woman, so he thought this was his chance.

      When he got to the checkout he told the girl he needed some condoms.

      She asked him what size and he said he didn’t know.

      She asked him to drop his trousers, she reached over the counter, gave him a quick squeeze then picked up the Intercom and said…….

      “Mop and bucket, till 5.”

      A man and a woman who had never met before, but who were both married to other people, found themselves assigned to the same sleeping room on a transcontinental train.

      Though initially embarrassed and uneasy over sharing a room, they were both very tired and fell asleep quickly, he in the upper berth and she in the lower.

      At 1:00 AM, the man leaned down and gently woke the woman saying, Ma’am,

      I’m sorry to bother you, but would you be willing to reach into the closet to get me a second blanket? I’m awfully cold.’

      ‘I have a better idea,’ she replied, ‘Just for tonight, let’s pretend that we’re married’

      ‘Wow! That’s a great idea!’ he exclaimed.

      ‘Good,’ she replied, ‘Get your own damned blanket.’

      After a moment of silence, he farted.

      The End.

      JOKE:
      My wife and I went into town to shop.

      When we came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket.

      We went up to him and I said, “Come on man, how about giving a senior citizen a break?”

      He just ignored us and continued writing the ticket.

      I called him a “butthead.” He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn-out tires.

      So my wife called him a “jerk.” He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first.

      Then he started writing more tickets. This went on for about 20 minutes.

      The more we offended him, the more tickets he wrote.

      He finally finished, sneered at us, and walked away.

      Just then our bus arrived, and we got on it and went home.

      We try to have a little fun each day now that we’re retired. It’s so important at our age! 😂

    I am not a lawyer, but here is my personal advice when dealing with cops, especially the FBI. I’m just tired of hearing how people get screwed.

    Always act respectful and professional and say you will comply with the letter of the law. If an officer or agent pressures you, then I would advise them you’d like to speak to a lawyer first. Don’t ever raise your voice, your arms, or anything if they try and bully or escalate. I know it may be tough but don’t ever give them ammo to arrest you for refusing to help them willingly. No matter how scary it gets.

    Asking for a lawyer is not an admission of guilt, it’s strictly to protect yourself because you don’t know how easy you can be manipulated into saying something that can get you in trouble even though you think it won’t. Even lawyers have lawyers represent them!
    Always document the date and time of each visit, who visited (names and badge numbers). It also doesn’t hurt to look up the phone number of their office and call and verify their credentials and not impersonating.

    I’ve dealt with local, state, and federal before at my places of employment. Don’t be afraid to call their local FBI office or your local FBI office to verify they work there, what they look like, etc… Even if the case isn’t about you.

    And if they call you, I would not reply without first verifying who they are. Ask politely that YOU can call them back at their office number that YOU looked up, don’t ever dial back the number they provide you.

    My husband, Vincent has spent railing against gays. He is a confirmed republican. We have 3 daughters and 2 sons who are also confirmed republicans. Yesterday I caught him in bed with one of our daughters’ boyfriend. There he was with his ass in the air and Kent shoving dick up his ass. I sat stunned and watched for about 5 minutes. I left when he started sucking Kent’s dick. Do I tell my daughter or just continue with their wedding plans? We are a family that hasn’t had a divorce in over 50 years. I’d hate for me to be the one that causes the first.
