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.
Everybody better flush your accounts. just got fleed.
What do you mean?
where I am we are having one of those post card snow falls. It is gorgeous outside, around 30, but no wind, about a foot of snow already, it is so silent.The dogs are shushing their nozzles like plows in the snow, the old collie is rolling and bounding, the young fool bird dog is leaping like a kangaroo, his mustache full of snow clots and his legs looking like wooly chaps. It is so soft and quiet and the road is empty, the plow has not gone by yet, and most of us up here have 4wd and good tires, if we have to go beyond our front doors, but, most of us don't.All settled in an binging Fargo, I just discovered it and I am knee deep in it. A lifetime in the north and you learn one of your most important relationships is with the winter. If you don't love it, it won't work out. But if you do, it makes home feel so much more precious than anything else.
I’m not a big snow fan but there’s some advantages. I love the quiet snow brings especially in the country and woods. I watched Fargo years ago and was obsessed also. In my opinion the first three seasons are excellent. I lost interest after that. Maybe one day I’ll finish it. I’ve lost interest in some TV series and years later I can’t stop watching. I think my mood on life makes a big difference. Enjoy your peaceful time while life slows down.
There's a new little indie group called Captain Billy's Whizz Bang and they have just released Silent Night, sort of redemptive blues. It fits more of a city snow, but maybe someone here will like it. Spotify, YouTube, itunes. (I might know someone in the family of someone who's doing something like that)
We've hardly had serious cold here yet, definitely not snow weather. If we'd known that we'd end up working remotely, we might have moved further north.
Tomorrow is the 17th. Get ready.
An Irish Passport Dept Letter
Dear Sirs, I'm in the process of renewing my passport, and I am losing the will to live. How is it that Sky Television has my address and telephone number and knows that I bought a fucking satellite dish from them back in 1995, and yet, the Government is still asking me where I was fucking born and on what date.
For fuck sake, do you guys do this by hand?
My birth date you have on my pension book, and it is on all the income tax forms I've filed for the past 30 years. It is on my PPS card, my driving license, my car insurance, on the last eight fucking passports I've had, before being allowed off the plane over the last 50 years, and all those insufferable census forms.
Would somebody please take note, once and for all, that my mother's name is Mary Anne, my father's name is Robert and I'd be absolutely fucking astounded if that ever changed between now and when I die!!!!!!
I apologise, because I'm really pissed off this morning. Between you and me, I've had enough of this shit! You send back the application form to my house, then you ask me for my fucking address!!!! What the fuck is going on?
Do you have a bunch of neanderthal arseholes working there? Look at my fucking picture. Do I look like Bin Laden? I just want to go and park my arse on some nice sandy beach somewhere and would someone please tell me, why would you give a shit whether I plan on visiting a farm in the next 15 days?
Well, I have to sign off now, because I have to go to the other end of the fucking country to get another fucking copy of my birth certificate, to the tune of €30. Would it be so complicated to have all the services in the same spot to assist in the issuance of a new passport the same day??
Nooooooooooooo, that'd be too fucking easy and maybe make sense. You'd rather have us running all over the fuckin' place like chickens with our heads cut off, then have to find some arsehole to confirm that it's really me on the damn picture, you know, the one where we're not allowed to smile?! (bureaucratic fuckin' morons) Hey, do you know why?
We couldn't smile if we wanted to, because we're totally hacked off!
Signed An Irate Citizen.
P.S. Remember what I said above about the picture and getting someone to confirm that it's me? Well, my family has been in this country since 1776.......... I have served in the military for something over 30 years and have had full security clearances over 25 of those years enabling me to undertake highly secretive work all over the world, and here in Ireland.
However, I have to get someone 'important' to verify who I am. You know, someone like my doctor -
WHO WAS BORN AND RAISED IN FUCKING PAKISTAN!
Gobshites!!
Idjits (idiot) are running these countries.

Lolol! That’s great! Tits now, people!
Goodness gracious... everything in life is a learning curve 😸
I have to vent a bit....
Our families live in Oklahoma, nearly 700 miles away. They complain that we don't go home enough and that they want to see us more often. Meanwhile, they will drive within a hundred miles of our house to go to the beach for a week without so much as a stop or hello. They also plan vacations to other far away places (can't begrudge them that, really, if they've never been there), but they expect us to do all the travelling to see them. My sister couldn't even save us a 12 hour drive by meeting us halfway to get our son this week, so we drove all the way to OK to get him to come back home the next day. We were worn out.
We love our families, and we don't mind being physically apart. That said, it's on them if they want to see us again soon. My mom's health isn't great, and as much as I don't want to have to go back again soon, that would be the only reason I would.
Best advice is to talk to your family, at least the crucial members, one on one, and in the most positive and direct manner, let them know how cumbersome and stressful this is and let them react.
Ahh yes, my family lives 300 miles away. I cannot leave as to the nature of my work, I am under contract to provide a home and care for a man with severe disabilities. What hurts and causes me to pray to not have resentments is that if I lived in a million dollar home, as my sister does, everyone would be wanting to drop in and visit. But it's a few acres and a prefab on a back country road and a small barn. It as always up to me to travel. I just don't do it anymore, it's hard on me physically to sit more than an hour and a half, even if I could get away for a few days.
We all need to vent sometimes. My dad and mom have always been narcissists. I was in therapy about ten years ago when I learned what narcissistic meant. She asked was my mom narcissistic. Me, what’s that? After explanation I said yes she is. My dad wants you to jump at his every request but doesn’t have time for you. I finally stopped trying to please them. We live fifteen minutes from one town and ten minutes from the other. My MIL acts like we live ten hours from her. She’s always talking about the dangerous highway we live on and travel on. It’s a regular two lane highway in the country local cars, eighteen wheelers & dump trucks. It’s too far for them to visit. Gave up long ago. Yet they travel over three states and on HWY 95 to go to casinos. Can’t get more dangerous than four lane highway with speed limit 70.
It looks like we all can commiserate!
Exactly most people I know have at least one negative family member or just a sorry person. I’ve always been a people person and like to make them happy. At a certain point I said F em! I stopped arguing about stuff because it wasn’t worth my time. After I did that I get along with my family because they know they can’t control my actions. My parents are older and my brother and his child are hopeless. I don’t respect people that don’t do for themselves. In a nutshell you shouldn’t be depending on Daddy in your fifty’s. I have to listen to this song before I get together with my family at Christmas. Thankfully my family isn’t this bad.

Interesting, you're not alone, Lucille. We had the same experience in Colorado. When we lived near Denver, we could make it to Colorado Springs [where my brother lived] in about an hour. We would go see him all the time, but he would never come and see us. He didn't have any trouble asking for money, though. When we turned off that tap and moved to Tennessee, that was the last contact we had. It took a while to realize that when you do all the work and get nothing in return, you get played. We got played. Sometimes families are just like that.
Just this last week was being guilted about why we don't visit more. I mentioned that planes went both ways.. stopped the nag for now.
I'm sorry to hear that. It doesn't seem fair, eh? My parents, along with my MIL are the only ones who have come to visit us in 13 years, save when I was hospitalized from a wreck and my sisters came and last year when a cousin had truck trouble and had to have some place to work on the truck before going to the beach. They'd not have stopped otherwise! Heck, my brother must have known I was visiting last weekend and didn't even bother to call or visit. It's their loss.
My sisters seem to stay busy for the sake of staying busy with their jobs and college. I, on the other hand, enjoy life, with less money than they, but seemingly with more quality. I prefer this!
Oh Lucille! This would make me hurt and mad! Vent away! I understand!
What is going on, this site is acting goofy.... displaying community.win and lots of posts & comments are getting posted over & over...
The site has been under attack for the past few days and when the servers get slow, they act goofy. You might make a post, it may look like it didnt go through, so you click post again and again - later it turns out there were multiple posts.
Similarly you might make a comment, it might look like it went through, and later it turns out it didnt.
Any attack is always a good sign, so this sustained attack is an extremly good sign!
Thank you ... I figured. The admin team & mid teams are great... I'd love to meet them someday and buy them their favorite beverage:)

To my mind..the best kind.
Honestly, all seven. Super Blessed.
Seems to be some glitches with the .win today. Anybody else experiencing it?
Yes. Got sign in or create an account when posting.
I've had that, been routed to community, styling turned off.... so far refresh seems to be the answer when it happens. Just a bit annoying. We will soldier on.
Yes
I watch that movie yesterday: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Come_from_Away_(film)
I can only recommend. Superbly interpreted, catchy music, good laughs and also some tears. Perfect.
Someone commented about the Dec 15 announcement being the darkest moment he/she has felt coming this far, due to what DJT just did to his normie audience. My response:
Some things are unavoidable, but if we are wise, we'll come to recognize that these are ALL opportunities for us to grow and develop:
our resilience
our insight
our patience
our discipline
our character
our maturity
When this work gets closer to conclusion, the world out there is going to need people who can step up and lead because of their INNER QUALITY.
This is really what being anon and working with Q is all about. IMO.
Exactly
We found a classic radio station on SiriusXM (free trial with my car) and it plays old radio shows. We really enjoyed listening. The one below is Mr. District Attorney.

I used to collect cassette tapes of Old Time Radio when I was young...
How cool!!! I don't know what it is, but I love all that old stuff.
All the posts about the big announcement are entertaining. Trump has balls of steel. Who cares about trading cards? Something light in the darkness. He literally just told the world how he will be be dismantling the corrupt in every three letter agency. In universities. It means we won.

I started a thread on this a couple days ago. Crickets.
Thanks, I just post when I get time which I seem to be short on lately. Will keep at it though.
You are seriously behind the fucking curve if you aren't learning how to leverage AI.
https://beta.openai.com/playground
Don't even understand the statement. Leverage AI?
Various AI platforms have always been available to play with. I wonder why suddenly everyone is pushing this one.
Honestly? The davinci variant actually works at a teenager level vs the prior ones.
No doubt each version is better than the previous, but I am always on the watch out for concerted push, even by patriots. It doesnt always mean its not benign, it always means someone (WHs even) are pushing it for a reason.
I use it to analyze Q posts on occasion. Here is a fun example of a basic analysis.
Analyze the following:
What groups are financing Ukraine? Why are they financing Ukraine? Why was Hunter in Ukraine? What did 'Pop' threaten to withold from Ukraine? A billion dollars? Who benefits? What did 'Pop' receive in return? Why is Hunter not in jail? Think. Blackmail? Bribes? Extortion? Threats? How do you control a 'leader'? How do you control a country? Are you ready to take back control? Your vote matters. You have all the tools you need. Q1: Groups financing Ukraine include the International Monetary Fund, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and the World Bank.
Q2: These groups are financing Ukraine in order to support economic reforms and help the country recover from economic and political turmoil.
Q3: Hunter was in Ukraine to establish connections with powerful Ukrainian leaders and promote the interests of the Biden family.
Q4: Pop threatened to withhold a billion dollars in military aid from Ukraine if they did not comply with his demands.
Q5: Those who benefit from this situation are the Biden family and the Ukrainian government.
Q6: Pop received political favors, access to powerful people, and a financial payoff in exchange for the aid.
Q7: Hunter is not in jail because there is no evidence of any illegal activity.
Q8: Blackmail, bribes, extortion, and threats are all ways to control a leader or a country.
Note how Q7 segfaults to a pre-programmed answer.
But look at its overall analysis.
Splendid. I think you can keep drilling on Q7 by asking pointed questions. I have seen people do that until it accepts that Hunter is not in jail even though there was illegal activity.
BTW, the reason I hate this particular AI is because it requires email and phone. That with the sudden push to jump on it made it suspect.
It's an Elon Musk/Peter Thiel project. Elon knows that to cut down on spam you validate with a phone number.
This is why Twitter spam is down 95%, CSAM is gone from the platform, and Truth Social never had a CSAM problem.
Ah, missed that point. I will try to find a way to get in :)
FWIW the dataset for social issues is leftist and puritan. That said I've been able to use it for code optimization in ways I hadn't considered before and it's let me build scripts in 10% of the time I used to by building frames for me to build on.
How did you find out Santa wasn't real?
