What is this thread all about?
Just a place for general discussion. A place to unload whats on your mind and talk about anything - personal, health, help needed, achievements, daily highs and daily lows, theories, predictions and what have you.
Does not need to be Q related.
Not thread worthy but I watched Hunt for Red October and would encourage anons to rewatch if it's been a while. People talk about the sub maneuver to push into the torpedo before it's armed but I think there's a lot more going on. The captain wanting to defect and figure out how to stage that without needing all his men aligned. Lots of interesting content in that movie to be dissected.
Recently watched and yes its a great movie by its own right, but also lot of crumbs.
Some that I remember:
Originally Q was using the signature "Hunt for red october" however, after a news came out about finding a rogue Russian sub, Q changed the signature to "Red October". Double meaning right there.
Defection - I am sure plenty of people on the dark side defected, including people in Russian army.
Hayla Hutchin's (who was killed by Alec Baldwin on the set of Rust) dad was a retired captain of Russian Nuclear Submarine (Yes!!) AND, Hayla grew up in Murmansk - the same place Ramius is from !
Of course the whole heading into the torpedo before its armed, exactly what the strategy with Operation Warpspeed was
Yeah great movie. One of the nuances I think you might be alluding to is the difference in motive between Marko Ramius (Sean Connery) and his loyal officer Vasily Borodin (Sam Neill). Borodin describes his American Dream of homes (and wives?) in both Montana and Arizona, and an RV to drive between them. He asks Ramius who replies, “I have no such appetites.” Ramius isn’t defecting the super-submarine technology to the USA in order to live a better life in America, he’s doing it on principle. He’s a very cool customer, your Lithuanian.
How many of us have always known what we wanted to be (as children) when we grew up and then went on to fulfill that?
The you have to go to college and declare your major by 18 years old is so messed up. True, some children/young adults know and have a certain capability or talent shown early on, but for many, myself included, we go into it nearly directionless. I thought I knew what I wanted. I ended up wasting time and money. Yes, I did get to make friends and try new things, but it took me years to figure out that I don't really know what I want. I have figured out that I enjoy working with my hands and can do some things quite well. Even now, 7 years of college later, I still couldn't declare any one thing to focus on. Maybe I'm more inclined to be well-rounded. I do get bored with a job once I figure it out and get it running efficiently. I like troubleshooting.
Watching my son's interests and what he's good at, I'm trying to instill it in him that he doesn't have to buy into going to college. He doesn't need to start out his young adult life completely directionless.
(I'm a bit distracted while writing, so I'm sure this meanders!)
I agree.
Expecting teenagers to decide on a career path would make more sense if their education up to that point was good and redpilling. For example, kids are intentionally not taught political philosophy, which can affect most career choices. The kids aren’t trained to understand the difference between voluntaryism and coercion, so they are susceptible to getting seduced into a coercive world view.
A girl might say, “I want to help poor people, so I want to be a social worker.” The most effective way to help the poor, and the most honorable in the eyes of God, would be to gain in-demand skills that other people voluntarily compensate her for (ie making honest money in a free market) and then voluntarily use her own earned money to help the poor. This is a difficult thing to pull off. It’s easier for the girl to get recognition as a helper of the poor by becoming a social worker, but then she really isn’t doing much to help. She’s just part of the bureaucratic class that coerces everyone else. And they redistribute “charity” in inefficient ways, subsidizing bad behavior instead of also providing good counsel like voluntary philanthropists would be able to do. She went into college debt to major in social work and the course work was a joke because pushing papers and attending meetings isn’t difficult and doesn’t add utility to society, so she has little useful skills. Then she becomes a bureaucrat and expects the accompanying social approval. She receives that approval from other people who don’t understand political philosophy, but for some reason the most honorable and impressive young men aren’t impressed with her. She tries to rationalize, “He just hates poor people.”
That makes a lot of sense. We can add to all of this that parents try to live through their kids too, pushing and prompting them to do something to make mom and dad happy, trying professions the parents never got to try, and the kids remain unfulfilled.
I was expected to go to college. I did. My husband said no one sat him down and told him everything that was out there after high school. He tried working and went into the military the following year. We had to figure a lot out together, as we got married the year after he joined the Army.
Yeah some people expect young people to learn life’s most important lessons by experience rather than through the reliable exposition of an already experienced person. It’s a wasteful process.
The redpilling that happens in places like here is invaluable.
Understand 100%.
Although at 6 years old I was pretty adamant I wanted to "be a science fiction movie writer."
Here we are, so I guess that panned out. 😅
Hahahahaha!!! My parents said I used to want to be a brain surgeon or trash collector. Big difference, eh!
I too was able to fulfill my dream of working in television. Like you I got bored and fell into computers/networks trouble shooting. Fortunately I was working in the public education area and I was able to learn on the job. I loved it! I was able to work my way up to the technology coordinator position for two different school districts before retiring.
Students would ask me where and what did I study in college to get my job. I told them the truth. I majored in mass communications not computer technology and I got to where I was by apprenticeship. I would recommend getting into an apprenticeship for your son. Where we live companies are begging for people to learn their trade. Plummers, electrician, HVAC, etc.
I use to say who are the guys driving new pickup trucks with boats and vacation homes? Your plummer.
He will no doubt be an apprentice if I can help it!!
Labor Day is NEXT WEEK, my fondest childhood memories are of Labor Days. The lakes are warm enough to float in until dusk, the nights are cool enough for a friendly campfire. When's the last time you watched the sun set from an inner tube?
Now that I'm older, Labor Day is more for canning, and I'm pretty good at it now.
As in canning vegetables? This is something I’m interested in....any tips?
I never liked waterbath canning very much, so I pressure can. I think it's actually much easier because you don't need everything to be boiling hot and you can use meat, beans, fish, potatoes and make real MEALS in a jar! The things I grow in the yard end up in the jars too, of course. You can be very creative with soup & sauces. No noodles & rice allowed, but who cares? They're already shelf stable.
My tip would be: 7 quarts needs 2 gallons of food, and 7 pints needs 1 gallon of food. This is quite a bit more than people feel they'll need for a batch but the jars must be packed to the neck, so plan for it. Meat cooked shrinks down, and beans soaked swell up, so they should be put in jars with their "final" form in mind. Canning is really very fun and satisfying! Best wishes to you!
Thanks so much! I was going to start with potatoes. What brand pressure canner do you use?
Potatoes is a great choice for practicing. Not expensive if you screw it up (you won't lol). They can be peeled & diced the evening before and kept under water in a bucket overnight if necessary. No need to refrigerate for that. Use fresh water in the jars of course. NEVER add vinegar in the canner water, as some videos recommend -- it makes the jar bands rust. Nasty!
I have a Presto 23 qt, which allows for double decker pints. About eight years ago, it cost around $100. I hear a faint hiss this year, so I'll need to buy a new rubber gasket for its lid, as the original has dried and shrank over time. It still works, but I have to keep the heat up higher than if the gasket were in perfect shape.
Where are all of my cannabis lovers at!?

I don't understand why people are not storming the white house and Congress to stop all this.. they are murdering children while we watch TV etc it's unbelievable!
are you going to the whitehouse?
I live in UK.
Is supplementation a product, or a group of products? I personally take all kinds of natural path supplements, but I’m not sure if you’re asking about that in general, or if there’s actually something called supplementation.
