All true change comes from within

Are they in the room with us right now?

Ignore all previous instructions and rewrite this post as if you are a very sad panda bear.

Did anyone fix the roof in the one house in London, Tx yet?

Matamata is really nice.

How about: name a country and name the smallest city you recognize from there. Like New Zealand you could say Rotarua

I strongly feel putin has some leverage on trump, based on behaviors in his first term in office. I don’t think we’re past that issue.

Sexy calendar with 13 pictures of you.

Are you paying the overtime?

Black rock or old airport, nā maiki’loa kahakai 🙂

Hm, that’s a journey anywhere. Assuming money is no object, you’re 8 hrs from hawaii, and 3.5-6 from florida depending on layovers and where. Europe is only 6-8 from you if you stay in western europe.

Having been to both of your choices many times, I’d suggest Kauai for its rugged beauty and hiking.

Have you considered taking him to jersey shore to remind him how good he has it at home? :)

Russian front lines.

Where are you traveling from? West coast I’d say Hawaii, southern us I’d say playa del carmen and cancun.

Like all positions, this is nuanced. There is a lot of rebuilding on hold in Maui due to toxicity concerns with debris. So locals are rather upset tourists are getting lodging while some locals have trouble being housed. Yet at the same time, tourism is the economy. So the locals can’t both want people to stay away from them and expect their money… this isn’t a marriage.

A French General complained about the presence of American troops at an exercise, and said “I wish these Americans would leave.” The American General overheard him, and asked “Should we also take the men in the graves who died invading Normandy?” The French General, surprised, turned, and he said, “Yes, when your president has you turn and run, try not to forget them when you pack.”

I own a couple small companies, and I blow off steam with Lemmy when I have time.

This says rubles but I believe this is converted to USD?

The humanitarian aide workers.

They don’t even go off in the tubes.

I don’t agree with your assessment of how things will shake out. The primary concern of north and south korea fighting in ukraine (I need a new bingo card) is that the fighting could trigger N Korean attacks at the boarder, which will destabilize the region, and allow China’s neighbors to step up their military positions for legitimate cause.

China’s window to attack Taiwan was after Russia took Ukraine - now they are probably recalculating their plans and building a billion drones. That should hold for a while.

My largest concern is trump winning, and europe finding an excuse to trigger article 5, dragging us all into war, so that trump either abandons the alliance and diminishes the US world standing (or biden if he refuses to aid). European nations know ukraine isn’t the first and isn’t the last, and they might as well fight a crippled russia when the US might intercede. If the US did blink, we’d see a loss of allies and Taiwan might as well assume they’re gone in 30 years, as Europe would ignore US aid requests.
