For fantasy is true, of course. It isn’t factual, but it’s true. Children know that. Adults know it too and that’s precisely why many of them are afraid of fantasy. They know that its truth challenges, even threatens, all that is false, all that is phony, unnecessary, and trivial in the life they have let themselves be forced into living. They are afraid of dragons because they are afraid of freedom.

I used to get Mexican beef for our Steak Night special for $5 to $6 per lb for a 15 lb slab.
$22 with a Twice Baked around 7 years ago.
It was grass fed before people got excited about that and decided to pay extra for it.

I bought a Vitamin K2 supplement, but I get plenty of K2 from my diet.
So Im just using it up. I think my Garden of Life Vitamin Code multivitamin also has some. I dont take the 4 pill recommended daily, but just take 1 or 2 pills depending on if Im fasting that day. It's just an insurance policy to boost nutrition, not a substitute. You want to get most of your nutirition from your diet.

Metadata embedded in the video and analyzed by WIRED and independent video #forensics experts shows that rather than being a direct export from the prison’s #surveillance system, the footage was modified, likely using the professional editing tool #Adobe #Premiere Pro. The file appears to have been assembled from at least two source clips, saved multiple times, exported, and then uploaded to the DOJ’s website, where it was presented as “raw” footage.
I thought they have cyberforensic experts at the FBI ...

All I say is that the FBI shouldn't be so dumb to fuel the conspiracy with such a mistake.
I think the CIA was involved in the killing of JFK. The shoot with such an old gun was nearly impossible. Trump didn't release all secret papers about it, so what is the government hiding?
All I say
in NYC we say "how you doin?", "fugeddaboutit" and "All I'm saying is."
and if you really want to sound authentic
"I don't know nutthin about it."
which is exactly where i stand on conspiracy.

Trump Calls Epstein List A Democrat Psyop, Tells MAGA 'Not To Waste Time And Energy'
On Saturday, Trump gave a masterclass in how to look guilty - writing in a Truth Social post "We have a PERFECT Administration, THE TALK OF THE WORLD, and “selfish people” are trying to hurt it, all over a guy who never dies, Jeffrey Epstein. For years, it’s Epstein, over and over again."Yeah, why do people want to find out which rich and powerful men were fucking children provided by Epstein? And what did Trump mean when he said that Epstein 'never dies'? (Maybe QAnon knows)
Trump then attempted to discredit the Epstein files, equating it to the Steele dossier...

We are looking for an investor who can loan our holding company 237,000 US dollars.
With this money, we will open a farm in Baku, Azerbaijan to produce animal-based food.
We will also make our own animal feed, so our products will be healthier, better quality, and cheaper.
Because we sell quality products for less and have strong advertising, we will sell more worldwide and make big profits.
Why Azerbaijan? Because animal farming makes a lot of money there, but few people do it. That’s why we will earn more by starting in Azerbaijan.
Additionally, by producing our own animal feed, we will be able to sell healthier, higher quality animal products at a lower price.
Since we can sell quality products cheaply and thanks to our strong advertising network, we will be able to sell more internationally and make huge profits.
The reason for establishing the business in Azerbaijan is that animal husbandry is a very profitable business in Azerbaijan, but since there are very few people doing animal husbandry, establishing the farm in Azerbaijan will provide us with more income.
Your profit:
You will lend 237,000 US dollars to our holding company and when 22.03.2026 comes, you will receive your money back as 953,000 US dollars.
Your earnings will be great. When 22.03.2026 comes, you will get your money back as 953.00 US dollars.

That is the nature of this system.
Capitalism incentivizes abuse by valuing profit above all else. Corruption begets corruption. Wealth and power are used to capture regulations and bend them to gain more wealth and power that is used to bend regulations for more money and power round and round we go and the final, inevitable form of this type of system is corporate feudalism. That's how it works by its inherent nature.
