Benjamin...get the Musket.

Give Commander a Medal!

China is also saber rattling with Vietnam. Taiwan is China’s current priority, but Vietnam see themselves as on the list .

Exactly. Vietnam is sitting in the same position with China as Poland is with Russia. They both have a very large and powerful neighbor suddenly showing a real appetite for expansionism.

You are highly regarded.

Unlikely. The upside of being socially inept though is that I have more time and headspace for important things...like knowing the difference between a Country and a Continent.

I remember stuff that I was to young to viable be able to remember.

Same! My earliest memory is a man, who wasn't my Father, coming to the house and giving my Mother a letter. After reading she hid it inside a flower pot underneath a fake plant. It happened in 1973 when I was just about 12 months old. I know the year because I talked to my Mom about it a few years ago and after she got over her shock she told me when it happened.

Yes my Mom was a serial cheater and yes my first memory of life is her getting a love letter from one of her lovers. 👌

and now here we are, with idiots in our own country emboldened by the GOP and Trump.

The American Bund existed during WWII. This shit isn't new.

The nest is either never completed or it is done in half the usual time with perfect symmetry and sub-millimeter accuracy.

There is no in between.

Short Term and Working Memory of a damn goldfish. Long Term memory is so freakishly good that people think I'm making it up.

I can struggle to tell you what I had for a meal 10 minutes after I finish eating but I can tell you the exact page and location on the page of phrases that I read in a book 20 years ago.

Why did I just go to the kitchen? Who the fuck knows. Ask me what I was doing last Thursday afternoon at 3:30 though and I can write you a detailed description of the entire days events.

Welcome to ADHD.

Fucking fascinating. But I’d have to publish it as fiction because nobody would believe it.

Same, particularly before my mid 30s.

I think a lot of people don't realize that the .ml in lemmygrad.ml and lemmy.ml stands for "Marxist Leninist". They actually ARE Communist instances so their anti-capitalist stuff is perfectly fine in their instances and communities. If you don't want to see their stuff then block it, otherwise some of us occasionally find it funny and / or thought provoking.
