Minimalism

Minimalism

For several reasons, as I run through and do a regular emptying out of cruft I don't need (even working in IT I realistically don't need to keep Tb2 cables around just in case, for a client, anymore), I pondered a bit on the confluence of a couple "new" trends that include minimalism and tiny houses. For those who've kept up with some of the people I follow, the disdain that many feel for "consoomers" of the next big corporate product and weird bobblehead, the need to buy yet another…

The Bullshit

The Bullshit

There's an old story, apparently american indian [https://infogalactic.com/info/Two_Wolves], about everyone having two wolves inside them, one good, one evil, and the one that wins is the one you feed. It makes a good point. I've said before that the boundary between sin and normal human emotions and living is excess. letting it control you vs you managing it.

Ok – he is in media, and even here, with his own channel, the story the reporter wrote will still be out there, mostly uncorrected, and what the normies see. Nevertheless, watching her twist the arguments is useful, as a reminder that SJWs always lie, as a reminder ofhow they lie and twist the truth, and a reminder to never, ever, talk to the press.

#Coincidentally There is No Truth in Pravda

The Didact recently brought up yet another recent case of “flash mob” violence [http://didactsreach.blogspot.com/2016/10/guess-ethnicity.html] where the article is strangely…. quiet… about describing the perpetrators. Short version, 50 or so “youths” were arrested , with hundreds running around in groups from 20 to 50, ganging up on and beating up people in northern Philadelphia over the course of an evening. Just from the headline alone one would guess, based on who actually does these kind of…
