@Troy lol My opinion about the new format calls for the least concern on your part. As I previously said, I'm the past not the future. My remarks should've been automatically deleted by the omnipotent Chess Master who is playing the game were are pawns in. It's all good. 😬

@Troy I didn't think there was anything wrong with the old format. The new way is very .. "busy". You have to go through a whole process just to discern what's current. Also, I uploaded my picture thinking it would be a tiny little image replacing the initial "A" , it didnt do this. Instead, my profile provided a lot more info about me than I preferred to have known. Sometimes we should all just leave well enough alone. 😜

@Delano Everytime I hear about Australia's criticism of America going to war with Iran, you come to mind. So how ferverant is the anti American sentiment among Australia's general population? Are they indifferent or indignant??

Speaking of conspiracy theories and computer technology and Aliens, the longer I live, the more convinced I am that there's more to "Life" than meets the eye, that what I once thought were delusions or hallucinations or dreams, are different forms of reality, vibrating at a different frequency; I definitely believe in a multi-verse and that I shift between parallel worlds. I also see images out of the corner of my left eye and sense that I have a spirit "guide" who looks out for me. Whether these are extra-terrestial or divine phenomena, they are super-natural and outre. I have also had some weird things happen in regard to computers deleting things on their own; especially when I went on a tirade about something better left unsaid; these rants would suddenly disappear from the screen as if I was being monitored. And then there was the "duplicated phrase" quirk as if, while typing, I shifted from one universe to another in the middle of a sentence causing an overlap which resulted in a phrase appearing twice in a sentence... Like just now, when the words "twice in" for some reason became underlined in yellow??? 🤫 Also, I always thought a lot more attention and investigstion should be given to the possibilities raised about other beings living inside the Earth. There are places in the South Pole that have never been explored by Man, and restricted areas there where pilots are not allowed to fly over... Whatever. Once I decided to just go with the flow when it came to the inexplicable, Time seemed to stop existing; now, - I just am. I might be dead and don't know it.😗 I've never been into conspiracy theories so I never questioned whether we actually went to the moon before, but now when I see the old photos of the astronauts on the moon, they look - phony. 🤫 And speaking of "phony", why aren't we given more specific images and info about the U.S. pilot who was supposedly rescued from the cave he was hiding in after being shot down in Iran? No name no actual picture of him. Nothing. I would think they'd be parading him around to justify the millions of dollars the rescue operation cost to pull off...

When the pendulum swings back and the smoke clears, America will never be the same, no matter which party prevails. Civilization aided and abetted by AI will morph into an entirely different society. If you're an optimist, nothing to worry about.

That being the case,Trump's base could stand pat and re-elect him.

I didn't say Trump wasn't the embodiment of the American spirit. I'm the one who is lukewarm about this country. Y'all the ones declaring your love for America and optmistically thinking this nightmare will soon be over and the good ol USA will make a comeback. 😉

I don't know how I'm able to post here, having not done the required procedure, but I'm not complaining.😛

@ProfD Trump always takes the low ground, never the high ground. He says what a lot of prople really think and appeals to the worst in people, with his lack of propriety. England's royal couple, King Charles and his consort Queen Camilla are coming to America as a good will gesture in connection with America's celebration of its 250th birthday. Wouldn't be surprised if the meglomanical Trump tries to upstage them, and a lot of people will approve of this. Trump is an iconoclast, which wouldn't be such a bad thing if he, himself, wasn’t such a depraved, narcisstic, ignoramus. As POTUS, he's a terrible embodiment of the America spirit on the occasion of its 250th anniversity.

Kanye's in trouble again, banned from the United Kingdom allegedly for the pro Nazi remarks he has made. The event he was scheduled to appear at had to be canceled causing its promoters a bundle. Elsewhere, the Chilli drama continues to light up social media, revealing a growing rift between her and T-Boz, as ticket sales for their tour with Salt n Pepa continue to stall. I guess the algorithms sent out a dog whistle to MAGA trolls who are coming to Chili's defense in droves, claiming she's has "a right to choose whatever political party she wants to support" welcoming her to join them. That has become the mantra of Retrumpicans; especially the younger ones. Praising celebs like Chilli, Nick Cannon, Nikki Minaj, and Amber Rose et al for being independent thinkers. Can the lure of being thought of as an independent thinker bring more black celebs into Trump's fold????

Not a chance. Cynique resides permanently inside your head. ☺️

Thwarting a "need for attention" is also a form of rejection.

Whatever. 😴

@ProfD You are so diplomatic. So civilized. 😌 I fail to understand why anybody is entertained by witnessing 2 growups engaging in an exchange of playground-variety insults. I'd just as soon not participate in this vitriol because it diminishes me. I have never been one to walk away from a good fight, and the compulsion to have the last word is something I've never outgrown but it's time for me to "put on my big girl pants" and walk away. In what little time I have left, l have better things on which to expend what little energy I have left. No white flag. No olive branch. Just a cease fire. zzzzzzzzz

@Pioneer1 Still can't stop thinking about me, can you? Dream on, Loser. Stick with dark brown, the same color of the shit you're full of. Phew! Can't you afford to buy toilet paper??
