I don't get she would have a chance at all even running against my cat.
They won't decide until the 250th or so in order to further fire up the collective Patriotic spirit (for those with an un-compromised brain). Optics, ya' know...
The teenage brain is biologically wired differently when it comes to sleep and alertness, particularly in the early morning. This isn't laziness—it's a well-documented shift in circadian rhythms during puberty.
Why this happens: During adolescence (roughly starting around puberty), two key biological changes occur:Delayed melatonin release: Melatonin (the hormone that signals sleepiness) is released later in the evening for teens—often around 10:45–11:00 PM or later—compared to younger children or adults. It also stays elevated longer into the morning.

Circadian phase delay (also called "sleep phase delay"): The internal body clock shifts later by up to 2 hours. Teens naturally prefer later bedtimes and wake times. Their brains build up sleep pressure (the drive to sleep) more slowly, making it harder to fall asleep early and easier to stay up later.

This means many teens are still producing melatonin (feeling sleepy) when forced to wake up for early school or activities, leading to grogginess, reduced alertness, and impaired cognitive function in the early morning.
Courtesy of Grok. So yes, obviously, parenting is the number one factor in how our children function in this world. Each child requires a unique style of parenting, so a blanket statement that being un-gentle with your offspring is the way to go misses the mark, and opportunity for a different kind of relationship is lost.
I guess we all have our preferences about standard v DST. Imo, school starting early doesn't really work for anyone but the ones whose aim is to create obedient drones who get used to doing shit we don't actually want to do. Teens have brains that don't function well that early, anyway. If the issue is that we don't want our kids going to school in the dark...start school later.
Did we really make a flair for this exact habbening?
It seems folly to make ourselves so entirely dependent on fragile systems that consume mass quantities of things we all need. I asked Grok if AI was smart enough to do better...
"The Bigger Picture: AI is smart enough to help craft better systems—it's already doing so through optimization, simulation, and innovation pipelines. But AI doesn't set policy, choose locations, or override profit incentives. Real sustainability requires:Regulation and local oversight. Continued R&D investment. Broader shifts (e.g., more edge computing, workload efficiency, or even cultural restraint on endless digital expansion).
Your skepticism is valid: relying on ever-more-infrastructure to solve infrastructure problems risks deeper lock-in. But the trajectory shows meaningful movement toward less wasteful designs. If AI delivers on promised breakthroughs (e.g., in energy tech or materials), it could tip the balance positively. The question is whether we apply it wisely enough, soon enough."
I don't think the people of China are so enchanted with our President as this (and other posts) are saying.
Mental illness.
Her ego has to be so pleased. If her presidential campaign ever becomes a thing, the humiliation will be epic and neverending.
I actually just today started using my Spooky2 machine, both on our cat, and on my daughter and myself. The fellow who resurrected Rife's work was from NZ, and he went to China to have them made. I was rather intimidated by all the information available as well as the technology, but Grok talked me through it step by step. I have great hopes... EDIT: It was too late for us. We couldn't save our cat.
Grok: Key Topics Covered (from title, description, and partial transcript):
Late announcement and rushed preparations;
The visit was announced very late (only days before), with last-minute changes.
Shift in focus: Originally trade-heavy (the "3 B's" — Boeings, beans, beef — vs. "3 T's" — tariffs, technology, Taiwan), but reportedly pivoted toward the Iran crisis, energy security, and the Strait of Hormuz.
Massive U.S. security buildup: Record number of C-17 transport planes (around 12 vs. 2 in 2017), over 1,000 tons of cargo, large convoys of U.S. vehicles/Secret Service in Beijing — unusual optics for a state visit.
Xi's personal involvement: Why Xi is accompanying Trump extensively (e.g., to the Temple of Heaven) and rumors of a highly private one-on-one meeting. Insider signals: Possible hidden agendas, Beijing's internal politics, and how this visit might reveal tensions or Xi's position.
Broader context on U.S.-China relations, Taiwan, trade, and global flashpoints.
The tone is analytical with a skeptical/insider-Chinese-perspective flavor, common for this channel. It includes clips of U.S. planes and security in Beijing, plus references to other videos and promotions (e.g., Shen Yun tickets).
Wouldn't it make a really good read? The story of John Fetterman, V1-6.
That's my life, actually. A secret weapon becomes a target if exposed. Better to be an anonymous gifter, imo. It's certainly possible to use technology and still choose options that allow the least amount of notice. Being unremarkable is a great disguise.
I'm weeping, reading this. I read it aloud to my 29 year old daughter, and it got us both sniffling and reaching for the tissues. It's not an easy road by any stretch of the imagination. My own mother wasn't especially present because of her own wounding, so my childhood forged me into the pattern-breaker that I am, and that I don't doubt many of us in here are.
Every word in this piece speaks to my heart, so thank you for posting.
He's not planning on resigning.
I wonder if we'll be addressing the underlying issues with the fact that this particular kind of mental illness is quite pervasive among the human population.
I really feel for the humans who have to watch this depravity for their jobs...unless...
Unless they can have AI watch and describe, but I imagine somebody has to lay eyes on it. May their minds be cleared of any residual goo that might have attached to their personal energy field from witnessing such miserable things.
You can set fire to something and not be put away somewhere?
You, too, can expose your favorite congressional rep...
That was my first retarded thought.
They fit 8 humans in there?
They can wear swimsuits?
"The ~15-second clip spreads outrage effectively (hundreds of thousands of views, massive engagement), but lacks any verifiable details: no HOA name, city, state, date, or board identified. Searches across news, X, and web turn up zero matching real incidents with this exact announcement."
