Can't Tell Secrets in the Garden


The potatoes have eyes, the corn ears, and the beanstalk.

In a roundabout way the US is firing missiles deep inside Russia. This is not good and whatever the reason it isn't worth it. I don't know if there is some hidden agenda that I am not privy that is acting as driving force here, but this is anything but good.

I'm not even seeking out any information or clicking on links to feed the algorithm it's just everything keeps coming up nuclear escalation by default and it's really sickening.

It does seem that there may likely be more to this story than meets the eye.

The algorithm will tell you what to feel.  That is it's purpose.

And of course, true to conspiracy theorist thinking... there is more to the story. 

It seems clear to me that someone wants this war to persist at least...

The algorithm is scary, and I know there is a lot of misinformation out there with some being credible. I'm sure the small percentage having access to some deep fortified long-term underground bunkers may also be worried, just not as much.

TSK here was talking about carrier transport for pets in case of emergency, and I've never been much of a doomsday prepper, but now I'm not so sure. I only have a couple cats, so maybe another carrier wouldn't be bad idea.

Not sure how much of a target central Maine would be, but with this continuing escalation my subconscious has even been prompting me to put a little extra gas in the car lately.

I just wish somebody would 'fold' already.

this is one of those fun paradoxical times when being a paranoid conspiracy theorist will actually make you less afraid. the people who know that aliens have long ago taken control over our weapons of mass destruction are not particularly stressed right now. the people who know that so called nuclear bombs were a psyop from day one, designed to perpetuate the military-industrial complex, those people are resting well tonight. the people who know they're living in a simulation are mildly curious about whether they'll restart from a checkpoint or return to the lobby when the flash comes.

relax, sheeple! everything is under control.

I remember the scenario with UAP supposedly disabling missile silos and whatnot, and that thought has occurred to me as well even though they failed to intervene in the past, but with the entire planet at stake or for whatever other reason, hopefully 'something' may be keeping a close eye on this. It's a longshot, but one can only hope.

"They" are taunting the militaries if we are to believe the reports.  There has been many atrocities and they just watch without doing anything...not holding my breath on this one.  Whatever is out there, saving humanity isn't part of the agenda.

I seem to have a recurring writing compulsion that just won't go away, and I just need an appropriate forum (like this one) to satisfy it is all. It reminds me of the late great New England artist of realism Andrew Wyeth.  I seem to recall something to the effect that he would be working on a piece and then abruptly leave it so as not to ruin it, and that there was an element of 'disgust' involved for no particular reason, endless repetition?

I feel that way sometimes, save the pieces, and then post them days to weeks later, or not at all.

I can relate to that idea.... I often write something, really get into it... watch it take shape... and then start feeling like the only effect I could have by writing more is risk ruining it.

But most often, my guilt makes me return... the guilt of leaving it behind...

Perhaps we need to have another Writing Contest... I miss those...  we've talked about it in the staff area... but it seems to have stalled.

Do you think we should try again?

I'm game if you are.

It isn't particularly easy to define, and I've already began cycling through a few different descriptions, but maybe it's akin to a lack of enthusiasm due a dulling repetitiveness, or perhaps perception of some lackluster performance perceived by the performer that is projected onto the audience. The various factors are either augmented or diminished depending on specific topics and differences in mood of which the audience itself may be oblivious.

Being continuously drawn to similar subject matter and finding new and creative ways to skin a cat – definitely not a cat skinner though.

With threads though the views appear as objective countermeasure as opposed to any possible nonsensical subjective thoughts and feelings of the "performer" who is subjected to an entirely different world of the mind conditioned from a moderate past to present.

I'm not sure about a "writing contest" at present which might also double as 'popularity contest' to some degree. I've also thought about entering into the debates here as well and have yet to do that.

But there is this compulsion that lingers on like a candle blowing in the wind. The flame being in some sporadic state of diminishment and rekindling – but never dying.
