Jim Smij

I don't blame the elites, it's the only world they've known. like so many of us, we've constructed our world based on what we were born into. for the "little guy" the "picket fence" dream turned into the "McMansion" somewhere along the line. #kardashian But, through all of it, it's #people making choices. every day we're bombarded with new information and so many are stuck in the McMansion world. like the Matrix or WallE, there will be people choosing to continue what they've always done. even if they could change, they won't.
I blame everyone, all along the line. middle management could take over, easily, but we're so divided by the dichotomy, which is by their old, old old, waaay back, design, the little guy will get bigger as will the elites, the divide widens.

I retired over 10 yrs ago and put flip-flops on once or twice a week if I have to leave the property. never had a pair of shoes/sneakers that felt good on my feet. even the handmade Italian leather oxblood shoes I wore in corporate back in the day.
im not comfortable in clothes either, but ill keep those pix to a minimum. ;)

#carbs remain the biggest problem with #dieting, doesn't matter where you get #nutrients, as long as you're getting them. sugars in any form, damage the #heart, when there's too much. simple as that. the #lies about #animal #protein & fats continue to be told... even by doctors. your body needs a little glucose. no other #sugars necessary. you can get #glucose from beef.

I'll spread it around... I have nephews & a neice. the gf's grandchildren know me as papa their whole lives. people are live in the past where marriage binded you, but it doesn't, really. i skipped parenthood , and may have missed out, but you don't miss what you never had. my fam is my fam as much as any all blood fam, which there are so many " yours, mine, ours" it doesn't matter as long as the kids know they're loved and taken care of.

meat. cold cuts, subs maybe. pizza is a no brainer, pepperoni, obviously. cocktails keeps people playing, but beer is a crowd pleaser ... especially some local micro brew.
depending on the level of players , I'd stick with basics. 5 card, 7 card, texas holdem. unless everyone is really comfortable with a game, losing can feel like you've being taken advantage of, unless everyone is pretty tight. don't let the pots get too big either. keep it chill & have fun. people get funny about money... especially if they've lost more than they planned.

the color "green" has been co-opted. the word organic too... but you knew that... but did you know...
#recycling is a #marketing strategy contrived by the plastic & oil industry to get the masses to think they're doing good but it's all so the producers can continue to produce plastics and petroleum products. recycling is a lie we spread because we #wanttobelieve the #lieswespread and can't see that we were #tricked by pure marketing

if my #camera #app pops up a web address from a qr code in a pic taken across the street. just how much does my camera app now know? android, the default app... how much does it know before clicking the link? after clicking, I figure it'll know soooo much more and so will the qr code creator app, and the redirection app...and everyone in-between, etc...
