I always really wanted to release a bunch of Komodo dragons in there, I think they'd thrive. They'd cull the population of.. Many animals! Including Floridians. I think that'd be good for us, as humans I mean. Keeps us on our toes. I think we could have a very healthy Komodo dragon population in the Florida swamps before 2050. I bet they adapt super well. They have to! They always do. Good thing, not growing too complacent in ones superpredatorialism. Let's put the beef where our mouths are, let the dragons prey on the slower ones, cull human population quite organically. It's really not that far off from what we used to do like 20KYA or so. Back then we had snub nosed bears and let me tell you, they were no girl scout cookies either!
I've listened to these podcasts about people who get caught up in like Nigerian Prince scams for real, and they give all their money away, sell their houses, their cars, lose custody of their children and wives who leave them over it, and even when everything is hopelessly lost they still keep thinking that, but maybe it IS real.
If at this point you're looking at everything and still go, yep, that's competent leadership doing exactly what I wanted, then I don't see how there is any way back to reality for them.
I read a comment from a dude deep in MAGA territoryand he said the rest of us simply don't know how isolated they are news wise, everybody thinks the same and FOX et al play on TV and radio 24/7 in restaruants, bars, at work, at home, like they are surrounded by literally nothing but hard core propaganda.
I don't live there, but I'm willing to believe that at face value. Shit, USA/CIA has known how effective political propaganda is since they cut their teeth in Central and South America (they did it in lots of other places too).
The sophistication of the modern propaganda apparatus would make Goebbels blush.
I don't know, man, at least you've had long lasting meaningful relationships. I have had peace, but never got to make a family. I figure, whatever you do in life it evens out more or less in the end. There's about as much happiness for everyone in a run. Maybe someday I might luck out and meet the woman of my dreams. We'll get a house, get married, have kids, a family together and a good life. But if that doesn't pan out, there's always hookers and cocaine.
Put'em in a stew?
