Tonight I splashed on some Gabel's Bay Rum after my post work shower. #MensGrooming

It's more like an after shave, it is not a long lasting scent...along with an alcohol splash. These type of short duration scents are what I like to use after work. Aqua Velva, Brut, Gabel's Bay Rum..that type of thing.

Gabels is a cheap entry into Bay Rum scents, if you are interested in what they smell like. Bay Rum is a classic sailor scent, the combination of Bay Leaves of a scrub bush that lives along the coast of Carribean islands soaked in Rum to make a tincture along with some other spices.

Im really amazed at how fast my tum tum is filled up now. I just had a Chicken Thigh cooked down in Marinera Sauce aka Chicken Cacciatore and about a cup of High Protein Low Glycemic Index White Rice (Parish Rice). I could not finish the bowl.


I brought a ribeye and twice baked home and couldnt eat by 1/3rd of the potato and 1/2 the steak.

My intermittent fasting has shrunk my stomach.

I have virtually no hunger pangs either. It's very easy to maintain this. I do it 4 or 5 days a week and then eat as and how I want on my weekend. I try not to get crazy on the weekend, but Im not strict like on intermittent fasting days.

Ive been losing some more weight and my fatty liver is clearly visible as it pokes out farther on that side of my belly. But Im gonna fix this fatty liver and get back into top shape.

What I am about to say is wrong but if I were trying to argue for feminism

I would claim that such and such a woman is CEO because she earned it in spite of the Patriarchy oppressing her to try to keep her from earning it

This would be factually wrong because of all the systematic favoritism towards promoting women

But that is how they could try to argue some women being in positions of power at the same time as women being oppressed

does anyone have a good way to do the following as a CLI command?

1. take two plaintext files, A and B

2. in A, look for a beginning and ending tag (like "<head>" and "</head>" or something but i'm not necessarily working only with web pages)

3. delete whatever is (if anything) between those two tags and insert all of B in that place instead

in reply to 💙🩷💜Ⓑⓡⓔⓣⓣ🐡🍉🐧

This is a way to do it, but care should be taken if cutting out strings from generated HTML, there might be stuff around <head> or </head>on the same line which you might want to leave in or cut out, so you should also do some stuff like s/^.*Forecast/\1/ (and the analog in awk).

BTW to me your post feels like a MIME formatted email opened in a mail client that doesn't support it xdd (because of all the dashes)

my "solution" is that it's not our job to come up with "solutions" to colonised peoples' oppression, but to listen to what those people demand and work to bring their demands to fruition.

if it were up to me, if i were a Palestinian being starved to death, i would choose a "no state solution", because fuck the state. but i am not such a person, so it's not my business to decide.

there is so much patriarchal bullshit going around about "what should be done with the Palestinians?"

i think a guy named Hitler once tried to answer that question about Jewish people. let's not ask that question, and let the people being oppressed answer it for themselves, and let's listen to what they say, and do what they ask.

that is the meaning of solidarity.

i got back from watching capeshit (fantastic 4) which was a pretty mediocre if not bad film. very unrelatable characters i can't at all care for along with a very uninteresting plot. i didn't expect anything when I walked into the theater and I felt like I wasted my money. tbh it just felt like the movie existed just so the fantastic 4 could put into the very dragged on mcu.
It's strange too because the other capeshit (superman) was actually much better and was better in pretty much every metric, including superman himself (a literal god like figure) had more character development and was more human than the human-born 4.

THE DEVIL IN YOUR SCREEN

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably noticed it: a growing sense that many people are losing touch with reality.

While millions — perhaps even billions — seem to be waking up, questioning long-held beliefs and confronting truth for the first time, an unsettling parallel is unfolding: a rising tide of individuals slipping deeper into the abyss of mental illness.

COVID may have accelerated the crisis, but one can’t help but wonder: how much of this was already simmering beneath the surface, long before 2020 pulled back the curtain?

Is it possible that the cognitive decline we’re witnessing today is the byproduct of CIA mind control experiments covertly conducted decades ago?

Here are a few of the documented programs:

BLUEBIRD (1950) – An early program focused on interrogation techniques and memory erasure.

ARTICHOKE (1951) – Expanded on BLUEBIRD; included hypnosis, drugs, and other methods to create amnesia or extract information.

And then there’s one of the more notorious projects:

OPERATION MOCKINGBIRD (1950s–70s) – A large-scale covert CIA program (exposed by the Church Committee in 1975) to place friendly journalists in major media outlets. Hundreds of journalists cooperated — sometimes knowingly, sometimes unwittingly, and often under contract. The goal: shape public opinion, suppress stories, and promote narratives favorable to U.S. policy.

According to the CIA, the experiment was shut down in 1973 because it failed to “effectively control human consciousness.”

Do we actually believe that?

Or is it more plausible that the CIA mastered mind control — then deployed it?

And could elements of those experiments have already been woven into our daily lives?

Hidden in the written word. Embedded in our music, our films, our video games, our social media feeds. Have they quietly made their way into our homes — and our hearts?

Since the 1980s, the CIA has operated an Entertainment Liaison Office whose job is to:
• Advise film and TV writers and producers
• Request script changes to protect national security or the CIA’s image

The CIA itself openly describes this office:

“The CIA’s Office of Public Affairs works with filmmakers, authors, and screenwriters to ensure accuracy and protect security.”

In 1996, Chase Brandon became the CIA’s first official Hollywood liaison. As he told NPR in 2012:

“I had the authority to say, ‘This is something that would make the Agency look very bad — and we prefer that you not do that.’”

The Department of Defense (DoD) / Pentagon has an even larger entertainment office, whose involvement runs deeper still: they require script changes in exchange for access to military equipment, locations, and personnel.

The DoD’s cooperation isn’t just about accuracy — it explicitly aims to:
• Improve public perception of the military
• Support recruiting and retention
• Minimize depictions of war crimes, corruption, or dissent
• Emphasize heroism, advanced technology, and moral clarity

Unlike film and television, the music industry doesn’t have an official liaison office with intelligence agencies — but influence still happens:
• Label executives or producers with intelligence connections
• Use of confidential informants to monitor, disrupt, or steer politically charged movements
• Studies on how music affects human behavior
• Allegations that the CIA deliberately promoted drug culture through music
• Occult or mind-control symbolism in mainstream pop videos

Consider the pivot in the late 1980s and early 1990s: U.S. agencies and industry gatekeepers shifted mainstream rap away from politically conscious themes and toward more materialistic, violent, and nihilistic gangsta rap.

At the same time, private prison investment surged — and music glorifying violence and criminality exploded on radio and TV, while conscious artists got sidelined.

Once again: is it really so far-fetched to suspect that the cognitive decline we’re witnessing today is the legacy of covert experiments launched decades ago?
