Rule 11 Mentality

 My son (as a kid) was greatly attracted to board games....before the video gamer stuff came along.  

Personally, I hated board games.  In particular, Monopoly.

Someone brought this up today....rule 11....to explain what happens when the bank runs out of money.  

You would basically print money....to keep the game going.  

I brought this up in the office once, and someone came to admit that they'd played (within the family a four-hour game) it before.

I just never had the patience to sit there and dwell on this.  An hour was the point where I needed it to conclude....a winner and a loser.  

But I also hated this 'printing' business.  It made no sense.  Someone was bankrupt....just end the game and find something else.  

Racists Chatter?

 

I have a general opinion about how the mass media and news media are reacting to something they call 'racism' but really doesn't fit the image that I had from the 1970s, 1980s, or 1990s.

The graphic to the right really sums up the discussion. 

Has Facebook, YouTube, TikTok and the rest....set up a path to confusion?

I would suggest that we've all gone down a path...asking stupid questions.  Nothing makes sense in the solutions department....unless you've opened and poured half-a-bottle of Jack Daniels for thinking-purposes.

Five Observations Over the Nashville Shooting From Yesterday

 1.  Trans-woman (biological guy)....if you didn't grasp that from very confusing news coverage.

2.  I'm going to wait to see if anyone checks his/her drug situation.  From prescription pills to self-medication....I'm curious what he/she was on.

3.  Oddly enough, today....there's talk of a manifesto existing.  If you go and review trends....women don't write manifestos.  Guys are the ones who write stuff like this.

4.  Two Nashville police bravely walked in, and took down the individual in the end.

5.  Virtually every single network news group I watched....desperately identified the person as a woman.  What I find odd....the police made a statement that they could find no mental issues with 'her'.  Gender dysphoria has always been classified as a mental health issue.  So their statement does not make sense.
