Eventually I learned to tell myself, ‘one thing at a time’ (mean mentally but when I realize I’m wanting to do two things at once) it doesn’t always work but does better when in the middle of single task like clean the kitchen. As opposed to juggling the garage and kitchen cleaning because you started running to both. Though I guess it works well there too. Start on something? Do that, heh yes I know but if you remind yourself your brain may realize one day.

Actually mostly used to happen from coming inside, dealing with grabbing some water, washing hands and putting a few things in the kitchen away, I kept half washing hand before moving on and would try an optimize some putting away with cleaning then drop something cause wet hands. Once I kept reminding myself for awhile the tasks went smoother without wanting everything done 5 seconds ago.

Dunno if this is useful to others but figured I’d share cause without some effort my mind will put me on that path.

Yes let’s just fix this green circuit area…oh one more input…can stick some smelters here for a temporary measure, crap need to get this belt over for a new row…been awhile since I played but assume calling the first circuits green still works.

Never thought that’s why I may have worked well for me. Always something to do and in the end it needs to be done to increase production. Well sort of until you just have outposts do everything and turn it into train simulator… My favourite stage, always highways of track with good signals that don’t block, with tons of bots.

Also never played with biters I was so glad when they removed killing them for science.

A shame is putting it lightly, I agree with that all. Many people died for the US to be what it was, it may not have been the best but they used to do more than shake down everyone to fill their president’s pockets.

Now it’s a mob racket. I bet people who died in WWII on the allies side would look on the USA now with the wtf? Look.

I think the understated part is that it’s letting criminals win. Sure you can hum and haw about legalities of actions but it’s the straight up mob running the US right now. Just unfortunately the stupidest crime family.

That’s all he knows, how to bully and use any resources at his disposal that will accomplish that. Oh he also wants his bank account numbers going up, which again look at the first statement, is why he bullies. He also bullies for slights which were well earned.

How anyone can see this person as a leader shows a huge lack in education, which is what the Republicans wanted but still this is like giving the world’s largest military to a toddler that has discount Goebbels (Miller) doing a ton of their work.

But when you realize that’s their goal you have to have a next step is all. I’m not sure what a good one is, either kowtow and submit or fight back and possibly get crushed. The second step will be thought of by someone remembered if things go well. Mean maybe the government just shoots themselves in the foot like the do half the time and spark something on their own too. Maybe doesn’t need a thought out second step but that’s never something you can count on.

Needs people resisting as a first step for sure though which has been shown in Minneapolis, they are making me happier by the minute to be relatively close to such people. Mean I do wish they didn’t have to deal with the situation of course but people showing their distaste for fascism I fully support them.

I am across the border getting threatened bi weekly by the president of the US so it’s hard to show direct support.

There were mentions that he wrote his own speech from others. From what I understand it’s probably true since that would be his regular type of conference as a head banker previously. I’ll be honest haven’t listened to it or know a lot about Carney but this is what I’ve gleened in comments about his speech. Guess I knew about his banker credentials before and he helped us through the 08 crisis which Canada went through decently. Though I had no idea who he was until the leader of the liberal party

From everything I’ve read about his speech, which I will listen to at some point, makes me feel better with him in charge if we aren’t going to be more progressive.

We would, but what other choice would we have if if happened? Just kowtow to the US? Fuck that. Would it suck and make everything horrible? Yes, but not like Ukraine had an option when their war started.

Yeah the dude flips more than a light switch. He says what he thinks sounds good for that moment. That’s the limit of his ideals, unless it makes money then he does that.

Cause he’s a greedy narcissist. Really that’s all you need to know, if it benefits him (I think he thought calming down rhetoric during that speech would make him appear better) he does it, that’s it. No deep end, no big 4d chess, he’s simpler than peasants portrayed in movies.

He’d bend over and ask for Canada to take more. Nothing I’ve read from him sounds like a proper leader of this country. He’s as whiny as a toddler like the neighbor’s ‘leader’. Calling that thing a leader is laughable, he couldn’t lead a train on the track unless there was a pile of gold in sight.

Mental health needs a big reform in North America, unsure if it’s dealt better with in the EU (appears to be) but sure as hell is rarely considered here.

Like we’re all expected to be mindless cogs in a machine. It’s awful. If only there were better solutions… And yes I know there are but not acknowledged around these parts.

Nah just let people crank out children with abandon, by odds enough of them will work right?

Hopefully it pans out as the neighbor. But I still totally agree with that statement even if it fucks us, then if it does but we won’t roll over quietly…I hope. Fascists cannot be appeased, let alone toddler narcissists who want their next soother. Someone needs to put that baby to bed. Placating but not appeasing them I mean, like you do a fussy toddler, not saying violence. No teaching this toddler but sometimes they can understand their place and stop making as big of a fuss and have a minor one when he doesn’t get his diet coke.

It’s on Merriam webster site as a word, what’s your question?

I read it a few times but I realized there was more to get from it cause I sort of sped read through some (dry) parts the first time. This was back in the mid 2000s when there was less relevant information for us in North America at the time. Nowadays it needs to be brought in for any decent curriculum, though I don’t think the fascists would approve that.

Course in the US there’s a lot less demanding of education for reasons like this book, you understand what can lead to our current situation and see how harmful it is. Heaven forbid the common folk understand propaganda like they show. Any truly great society would relish in their citizens being well educated and informed of such things to make better progress going forward.

I’m nearing 50 and found it seems I recall about the same of being a kid as I did 20 years ago, but don’t recall 20 years ago as much as I’d think so now. Though yes long term seems better cemented in memory than day to day lately.

Mean if I forgot the kid stuff I wouldn’t realize it cause no one around that would tell me either so…well I’m used to being wrong too.

Keep expectations low, he’ll probably beat the pettiness within a few weeks. Just describing the current president of the US. If this was the 90s it’d be an SNL skit, in 2026 it’s just just accurate.

Even if he understood (I doubt he does but perhaps) he wouldn’t even care cause NATO doesn’t give him tribute to helping the world keep peace.

Amazing what one person elected(?) can do to the world order.

I sort of thought during his first term the people who elect the country with the world’s most powerful alliance shouldn’t be just by their own country or at least be due to revue by the alliance’s participants. As much as it sucks for sovereignty we are in a different place these days, hell perhaps we weren’t aligned enough before.

Am Canadian so having our neighbor do this crap is horrifying.

Yes I know that goes against a country’s democracy but perhaps times have changed for alliance requirements. The US made themselves dependable and that should with stipulations to be a part of an alliance.

Haha I love the (semi) random experience shares,I keep doing those on here to keep up some engagement and well add something semi relevant. Usually tangential to the main topic.

Though by the description I’d love to try those pastries, never found anything too sweet. Near 50 now,I’ll assume it happens sometimes, once I thought I understood my mom saying it made her back teeth hurt which I’m pretty sure she meant it was too sweet but can’t recall it happening more than twice to me at most.

Grew up north in Canada, hate the cold but everything else about similar Nordic countries seem to be pretty good. Well work from home these days…didn’t have that before.

Heck for a good contribution you get a pardon too. Can even not be white for the right amount. Only people he says one nice thing about are people who’ve fluffed him up. If you’ve said no once to him you’re on his shit list.

Awesome leader there United States, hah he’s a LINO anyways, leader in name only. It’s really president Miller, the guy who got into politics cause he’s too weak to strangle prostitutes.

First Forza game looked so damn good at the time, like almost real for the videos (yes I know but when your peak graphics is really surpassed you think it’s real). Nowadays that never happens cause I’m old and time passes so quickly. I do stop to enjoy the flowers now and then still. Sometimes quite literally in video games to check out how things are progressing I love jungle scenes and they sort of needs tons of plants.
