Interesting to see the responses to my last post and the direction you all took with my intention. So many of you were wrong.
“Bros before Hos” is an expression I was asked to explain. I could have used Hos before Bros, but it didn’t fit in this context. My reference was that Steven and Horace are friends and if they are good friends, he would not take his girlfriend from him. He also has to decide if it would hurt his friend to know the truth about Emily, or if he thought his friendship could stand the truth coming out about his girlfriend sniffing around other dick.
And the comments, well men are that way, why shouldn’t women be.” Ugh. Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. Two wrongs don’t make a right. To be clear, there is nothing wrong with seeking new relationships, but doing so while you are in a committed relationship without the understanding of your partner is cheating imo. It’s so rude to the one you are with. Its common decency and obviously, is severely lacking in a few of you.
Live your life with intention. Hold your head up high. Be true to yourself, but don’t step on the backs of others to get there. Have enough grace to “[wo]man up” and be honest. I still stand by she should have broken up with Horace first, or at least discussed taking a relationship break, before she attempted to seduce his best friend, and potentially lose her own best friend in the process. Emily should have gone to Julia first and asked her about her feelings if Emily were to date Steven. (That would be hos before bros.)

Thank you for reading today's post. Have an InterStellar Day! ~PrP
I won’t lie. The Ear is a fearful person. I doubt he has any real friends. I like many others who have come to know him, both want to kill him and be him. The power and fear he represents is both enviable and disgusting.
Tomorrow I get to travel in his entourage. He is instrumental in unraveling geopolitical foundations. He is careful not to reveal his motives. That makes it difficult to discern what he will do next.
Kind of like the Immortal. I met him on the planet 7y/9e3 some 700 years ago. He was my maker, my lover, and my mentor. We were an emotional species until we were conquered and our emotional feelings were bred out of us. The Immortal restored our emotional sense. We rewarded him by selling him out to our previous conquerors.
I his lover at the time was complicit in that betrayal. He allowed us to trap him, he lied to me about a weakness that he did not have. During the capture I became as they say on Earth collateral damage. As I was dying he said, “I give you 1 obx of immortality. That translates to 1,000 Earth years, I have 300 left. I have served my mothership for 600 Earth years. 293 of them has been either on Earth or within its vicinity. I have tried often but never successful to be in the Immortal’s company since he gave me this immortality. I understand that during the last 100 years I will be mortal again. I hope to meet him before that time. I want to tell him how sorry I am that I betrayed him.
I doubt he will care. He used to say “I’ll out live _____” to whatever I suggested should be of a concern to him. So he will probably say “I’ll outlive your betrayal.”
I love him and I would like to show him that I would devote the remaining years proving it to him.
I know what you are talking about the Immortal has a way about him and I, too, am still very much under his power.
Forget about ever meeting the Immortal. He has probably visited you in some form or another. If he hasn’t made his presence known, it means he has not forgiven or forgotten your betrayal. Hence, he will be there when you lose your immortality but he will forget you by the time you pass after the end of your mortal life.
Now you know the meaning of “I will out live your betrayal.” I am doing research on the Immortal. Therefore I would like to record your memories of your association with the Immortal. I am in the registry inside and out side the Gate.
PrP, thanks for the elaboration. I’ll admit I haven’t always lived up to your standards. The prospect of finding a really good man is so dicey, one just has to grab at any opportunity available. But then again, what goes around comes around, so I guess that makes your standards worth the effort.
I know you guys like talking about aliens, the Immortal, the Ear and this fucked up planet, but I met a real live vampire the other day. He told me that he communicated with other vampires because their thoughts can travel thousands of miles between themselves. Has anyone here ever met a vampire?
I don’t think you met a vampire. I think you met an alien that feasts on people like you. Well you lived to tell the tale. So that’s something.
There indeed exist “vampires” on worlds in the Milky Way that pose a threat to space travelers. We depopulate these worlds by injecting their atmosphere with a bacterial like substance that causes infertility in both the male and female species of the planet. Then we form a military no fly zone around the planet.
The result is that in about 15 Earth years the planet will be left with only the original population before the drop. Then we send in special units to destroy the remaining population.
She was this human. To most humans she was an irresistibly attractive woman. She was so attractive that she could easily lead men into difficult, dangerous, or disastrous situations. She was always in danger of losing her female friends because their men could not resist lusting after her.
I think someone up here is tasked with preventing her allure from causing her physical harm by human males. But what about the females who would gladly accept anything that would lessen her appeal to their men?
Some say she has lived many past lives on as many different worlds, but not always playing the being sort after. Now that the records are down will she be discovered?
Tampering with records that you are referring to is punishable by death.
The punishment for this “crime” has been too severe. One would think that if this continues it will spark curiosity as to just who this being is. Both armadas are issuing death penalties without considering mitigating circumstances.
This works for bug bite relief.

We give a lot of deference to those aliens who came to Earth before the humans. We should because they outnumber the humans almost 3 to 1. But those of us newly arrived here and who do not occupy the 71% of the planet, which is the ocean, object to having to take a second to their demands that we not dispose of our loses into the ocean.
We make sure that our waste is deposited at a depth greater than 660 feet(Deep Ocean). Deep ocean makes up 66 percent of the surface of the planet. Their chief concern should be with human pollution of the seas.

There should be no objection to the R*/^ gathering the shells of cashews. The argument that humans will discover the fuel capacity those shells produce is without merit. The natural resin that that fuel would be derived from is closely related to urushiol, the oily irritant found in poison ivy leaves. That is why humans don’t sell cashews in their shells. It is also why those shells are discarded. In the US when the cashews are in their shells they are sent to Vietnam and India where they can be de-shelled and sold for greater profit. It is in those countries that members from the MotherShip R*/^ gather those shells for their use.
The resin from those shells are converted into fuel that powers their vessels. The argument is suspected to come from those other MotherShip who have to bargain with R*/^ for the use of that fuel in the smaller vessels they use to navigate Earth space without sound detection.
I make this observation without benefit since neither my MotherShip nor those that I represent the Cashew shell resin.

Thank you for the American Lions. Since they are now extinct, your tapes showing them in their natural territory which extended over most of North America and down into South America was very exciting. Watching one of the largest cats to ever live on the planet Earth hunt and breed in its natural environment gave our young group a view of the Americas before humans began destroying the environment.
We now have the African and American lions. It is amazing to see them together. Although the American lion is 25% bigger than the African lion, it was astonishing to see the 600 pound African lion stand his ground against the 800 pound American lion. Even though it was no match for the speed, power and sheer jaw power of the American lion, it did not hesitate to defend its pride from encroachment by the American lion. In our opinion it has earned the title King of the Jungle.
The two 8’ tall specimen from about 11,000 years ago you left us with back then has since produced more than 20 million. We have shared them with several planets. I bring this up because Luci has taken a liking to those on the planet n945·∏. She shrank from her 35’ statue to a meer 7’ to mingle with a pride whose size ranged from 5’3” to about 8’2”.
We were caught off guard because it was the first time that Luci had caused her size to shrink so drastically.
We have always changed our gender every 11 Earth years. Now that we are leaving the planet for a place on Mars, our gender change there will occur every nine years. Those of you who have been questioning whether you are eligible for the move if your change was due, need not because it will still be up to you to make the switch.

There’s Now a Depressing Tally of Winners and Losers in the Trump Memecoin Story:
In crypto, you can often just look at publicly available records and count the number of winners and losers. One such study from a blockchain analytics firm called Nansen, as reported on by the New York Times, tells a sad story—the story of people who bought Trump memecoins.
As you’re probably aware, a recent financial disclosure says the president himself is a big crypto winner. That disclosure notes that Trump made about $635 million off this particular memecoin, just a small part of his already infamous crypto haul.
But almost 1 million $Trump buyers are losers, having been hosed for about $3.81 billion in total up to the end of last month. Back-of-the-envelope math (that is: dividing 3.81 billion by 1 million) will tell you the average loss was $3,810.

The number of winners from the $Trump story is about half—roughly 5,000, according to Nansen. They made just about the same amount, $4 billion, “capturing enormous gains while the broad retail majority absorbed the losses,” the report says.
Memecoins have been criticized as essentially slush funds—ways for the personality around which a memecoin is built to absorb the wealth of supporters and fans. One study has claimed that memecoin investment is rife with market manipulation, saying “82.8% show evidence of artificial growth strategies designed to create a misleading appearance of market interest.” Probably don’t buy memecoins if you want my thoughts on the matter.
B-12 Deficiency????
If you’re feeling foggy, sluggish, forgetful or just generally out of sorts, you might be thinking you need to prioritize sleep or get a better handle on your stress levels. But what if you’re actually dealing with a nutrient deficiency?
For a vitamin that isn’t exactly top of mind for most people, vitamin B-12 plays a surprisingly large role in nervous system functioning and overall brain health, including supporting memory, focus, mental health, and keeping brain cells healthy. When B-12 levels drop too low, the brain is one of the first places you might see the effects, with symptoms like forgetfulness and brain fog.
B-12 deficiency is more common than most people realize, affecting around 6% of Americans younger than 60 and around 20% of those older than 60, though the exact numbers vary. Many different causes can play into B-12 deficiency, including the food you eat, medications you take, and issues with absorption and your age, with older adults being more susceptible.
“Vitamin B12 deficiency is one of the few reversible causes of cognitive decline,” said Dr. Majid Fotuhi, a neurologist and adjunct professor at Johns Hopkins University. “Catching it early can prevent long-term brain damage and restore mental clarity.”
Here’s what you need to know about vitamin B-12 and your brain, including why it’s so essential, how to get enough of it and the ways a deficiency might show up.
How Vitamin B-12 Supports A Healthy Brain
Vitamin B-12 affects brain health in many different ways. It helps build and maintain myelin, which is a protective covering around nerve fibers that allows brain cells to communicate quickly and efficiently. It also helps support DNA synthesis and keeps brain tissue healthy over time.
B-12 is also essential for producing neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin, which help regulate mood, focus and motivation.
Another important role of vitamin B-12 is helping the body break down homocysteine, which is an amino acid that can build up when B-12 levels are low. Elevated homocysteine has been linked to increased oxidative stress and poorer blood vessel function, which can worsen cognitive decline.
“Together, these roles make B-12 essential for sharp thinking, memory, and mental energy,” Fotuhi said.
When B-12 levels are low, nerve signals can slow down or misfire, making brain cells more vulnerable to damage. Over time, a B-12 deficiency can lead to confusion, balance problems, slower thinking and difficulty concentrating. Some research has also linked higher homocysteine levels to cognitive decline and neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.
Signs You May Be Dealing With Low B-12
If you’re low in vitamin B-12, you can experience symptoms throughout your body. These include fatigue and weakness due to anemia, numbness or tingling in the hands and feet, heart palpitations, memory problems, difficulty concentrating, trouble with balance, and mood changes like irritability, depression and apathy.
Anemia is common when someone has a B-12 deficiency, but you can experience neurological symptoms even without anemia when your B-12 levels are low, said Dr. Brian J. Copeland, a neurologist at University Medical Center New Orleans.
Symptoms of a B-12 deficiency can develop gradually and may not be obvious at first, but they may worsen over time.
“Symptoms of a B-12 deficiency may not appear until B-12 levels are significantly low in the body,” said registered dietitian Patricia Kolesa. “Serum vitamin B-12 levels of 200 pg/ml or below would confirm a deficiency, however measuring homocysteine and methylmalonic acid can also offer insight into vitamin B-12 activity.”
In a recent study, some older adults showed signs of cognitive and neurological issues despite B12 levels that were technically within the normal range but on the lower end.
If you’re worried about your memory or experiencing fatigue or weakness, having trouble with balance, or dealing with any symptoms we’ve mentioned, speaking with a health care professional and having your B-12 levels checked can be a helpful step in protecting your brain health.
“Vitamin B12 deficiency is common, underrecognized, and relatively easy to diagnose and treat,” said Dr. Joel Salinas, a clinical associate professor in the department of neurology at the New York University Grossman School of Medicine. “Because its neurologic and cognitive effects can mimic more serious brain disorders, it is routinely assessed in evaluations for cognitive decline.”
Different Factors Can Put You At Risk For A B-12 Deficiency
Vitamin B-12 is crucial for the production of red blood cells. In order for your body to get enough of it, you have to eat foods that contain B-12, and your body has to properly absorb the B-12. A protein called intrinsic factor that’s released by cells in the stomach helps with B-12 absorption. Your body cannot make vitamin B-12 on its own, so if you don’t eat enough foods rich in B-12, take B-12 supplements or have trouble with absorption for any reason, you could be at risk for a deficiency.
“Vegetarians and vegans are at increased risk for a B-12 deficiency, given that vitamin B-12 is primarily in animal food sources,” Kolesa said.
People with gastrointestinal issues that affect B-12 absorption, like Crohn’s disease or celiac disease, pernicious anemia, a history of stomach or bariatric surgery, or heavy alcohol use, may also be at risk for low B-12 levels. Older adults are also at higher risk for a B-12 deficiency because absorption often decreases with age.
People taking metformin and acid-suppressing drugs like proton pump inhibitors over long periods of time may also develop a B-12 deficiency and should be monitored, Salinas said.
What To Do If You Have Low B-12
Eating a diet rich in B-12 can help maintain healthy levels. Some good food sources include fish, meat, eggs, dairy, nutritional yeast and fortified breakfast cereals. But people who are deficient may need to take B-12 supplements orally or via injections. Your primary care doctor can test your levels through a basic blood panel to determine whether you’re deficient or low in vitamin B-12.
“Oral B12 supplements are effective for most patients, while injectable forms are used in more severe cases,” Salinas said. “Blood testing is the most reliable way to determine whether dietary intake alone is adequate.”
Testing is an important way to catch a B-12 deficiency before it progresses to the point where it cannot be reversed. When a B-12 deficiency is treated early, memory loss, mood changes and problems with focus can completely resolve. But without treatment, permanent memory loss can occur, Copeland explained.
“In the most severe forms, this can progress to frank dementia with behavioral symptoms including psychosis,” he said. “This demonstrates the importance of testing vitamin B-12 levels in anyone with memory loss without a known cause.”
