Just Some Advice

 I noticed today....some new bathing suit 'deal'....a one-piece that is for both men and women.

It has this feature: 'extra-crotch coverage (meaning to cover up the balls)', and 'tuck-friendly construction (meaning you could push the extra-crotch material closer in).

And when I say one-piece....I mean there is no top (you'd be going to a topless beach area, I assume).

If you are going to this level of public beach appearances.....you might as well go to a nude-beach and not waste money on 'extras'.

Five Observations

 1.  I watched a conference of 'comrades'/socialists in the past day or two.  Basically, it was a bunch of start/stop moments, where members of the audience were being 'triggered' over a hundred different things.  It was like a collection of freaks had gathered up. 

I'm not much into socialism or socialist-chatter but I'm willing to listen to a constructive dialog/discussion.  The problem here....folks seem so triggered-up....they can't even allow regular talks, without freaking out.

2.  At the rate of things....I think within a hundred years, there will be just one gender....men and transwomen (everyone will have a penis), and then society can die out within fifty years, and mankind can restart from scratc.

3.  You noticed....anything that the news media can't control/manipulate or censor....ends up being called either 'right-wing' or 'Russia-controlled'?

4.  Did Sirhan-Sirhan ever admit to killing RFK?  No.  His lawyer gave him advice to just say he was intoxicated and couldn't remember anything (bad advice).  In all those years....he more or less remembers nothing.

5.  Around 60-percent of Americans in a survey....say Biden won't 'make it' to 2028 (if re-elected).  They aren't talking about impeachment.....they mean age-wise, he will just run-out.  

In this scenario, you are betting that Harris is the best back-up deal....and that's near impossible to sell on that idea.

Just An Odd Story

 It would appear that the Target store folks went out and hired some t-shirt design individual (just happens to be trans)....to have a line which is a bit....well....'satanic' in nature.

I looked at the t-shirt offered up....simply symbiology of satanic-type.  If you weren't paying attention....it'd just slip right by you.

Did Target intend for this to occur?  I kind of doubt it.

I was one of those parents who didn't really care what the kid wore.  I'd simply say....you got 15 minutes to pick-out two t-shirts, and not to exceed x-amount.  Beyond that....I didn't care.  

In today's atmosphere?  Yeah, I'd probably have to ask and see the t-shirt before buying.

Just inviting trouble?  I doubt that the management folks really grasp this satanic angle.  

When Artificial Intelligence (AI) Arrives And You Need To Rethink Things

 1.  You sit at your office and get a call  from someone called Mr. Jones, and about three minutes into the conversation....it hits you that Mr. Jones is AI, and you probably shouldn't have answered his questions.

2.  The bank AI writes a 7-page email....to note fifteen different 'bad' habits on finance that you have, and wants to lead you to better planning on spending.

3.  You 12-year old son notes that he has a new 'friend' on social media, and about six months later...you come to realize it's an AI 'friend' (not real).

4.  You come to find that AI has been adding layers of medical tests, with these warning notes coming to you that your alcohol consumption is endangering your liver.  These notes now come almost daily.

5.  Your AI system starts to monitor your household situation, and warns you in some way that your spouse is having an affair with the neighbor.

6.  Your company hires a AI to monitor the calorie intake of employees, and you start to get friendly hints of lessening 'bad' foods....every single day.

7.  Your religious group has a AI connection....which judges stress and problems in your life, then starts to call you and request prayer-time to chill out.  

8.  You start to notice fake news going on a good bit.....going back to a media AI operation, and it's now in competition against human fake news.

9.  As a single guy, you start to get AI 'tips' on dating women.

10.  You wake up one day to realize that AI is convinced that it's never wrong.

Roosevelt Hotel?

 Back around 2007, I flew from Frankfurt to the US...for a high-school reunion.  For the first time in my life....I was flying into JFK (NY City), and was supposed to sit around for four hours....then fly onto Nashville, then drive the rest of the way.  

Well....this was the summer with fantastic lightning storms, and upon arriving at JFK....I came to discover that everything from that time (around 1:30 PM) was cancelled.  Nothing was to move.  

In fact, they were hinting that things were so bad (for the previous day, storms had already messed up things)....that I might not be able to leave NY City for three to four days.

Around 4 PM, I gave up on arranging things and begin to work on accomodations in the city.  What I ended up with?  A one-night stay in the Roosevelt Hotel (3-star) at $249 (military retired discount).  This also meant having to rig up some type of transportation from the airport to mid-town area (to run around $45).  

The Roosevelt? Well...historically, it was a fine place which had probably started to decay in the 1990s.  The room wasn't bad.....it just didn't match up to what I considered a three-star in Germany or Greece.  

The breakfast?  $32.   

It was a unique experience and around 2018....the wife and I flew back into JFK....experiencing the Roosevelt for six days.  It was a harsh six days....my German wife was pretty ballistic at the cost factor and the crappy condition of the hotel.

Back in 2020, as Covid arrived....the Roosevelt shut-down.  The talk was that it would probably be converted into condo situation (probably a decade down the road). 

This past week, I noticed the Roosevelt in the news....the city had worked out a deal with the new owners (Pakistani Airways, oddly enough).....for the hotel to be re-used as a refugee/migrant facility.  No one says the amount, but I'm guessing the city pays a million per month, to serve in this capacity.  

How long will this go on?  It wouldn't shock me if this went on for a full decade.  

Next Woke Trends?

 This is my list of possible woke trends to occur:

1.  Farting to be acceptable and 'privileged'.

2.  Marriages between 3 people.

3.  Identifying as historical people.

4.  Binge-eating and binge-throwing up....to be considered 'normal'.

5.  Marriage consent age to be lowered to 14.

6.  One bath a week to be considered normal.

7.  New aftershave that smells like sweat.

8.  People refusing to do math, for any reason.

9.  High achievers to be condemned as anti-society.

10. People start to fake serious mental disease....pretending they can turn it on/off.

Do German Rent Out Hotel Rooms For Migrants/Immigrants?

 There was some point in 2014 where this was done on a couple of occasions, and it got out into the public domain.  I'll just say that this practice lasted for a month or two.  

If you were expecting some kind Brit/American welcome where you got a hotel room for 90-to-180 days in Germany today?  Well.....it won't happen.

You get a fest-tent type operation, or a old military barracks....that is marginally kept sanitary.
