The answer, sadly is “no”. Are you familiar with Collapse, by Jared Diamond (he also wrote, Guns, Germs and Steel)?
Heidi (@hlkchicago.bsky.social) reply parent
Got it!

Thank you for your attention to this matter ☺️

Putin: OMFG the smell! How much more of this can I endure? Trump: I hope they got the XXXL diapers this time. I don’t want another blow out/accident today of all days!
Heidi (@hlkchicago.bsky.social) reply parent
This makes me feel slightly better. I always say that Vance would be way worse than an addled Trump. I find JD to be creepy and he concerns me, as a beta male willing to do whatever Thiel and the rest of Project 25 want.

That was a HORRIBLE mistake! 🤯 Ty for pointing it out

I’m totally here for it! 🍿🎉

Gorgeous green! Looks like verdi gris, the color of oxidized copper.

Np, Svenning. Maybe it could be a “treat” somehow, too ☺️
Heidi (@hlkchicago.bsky.social) reply parent
You meant, “threat”, correct?

And yet, here you are 😂
Heidi (@hlkchicago.bsky.social) reply parent
Best of luck to you ☺️

Why insert yourself in a convo about something you don’t agree with to make an insulting comment, e.g. “ghetto”. I’m not perfect and made that mistake. I went into a thread w/tRump supporters where I didn’t belong and posted about him being a pedophile. I got attacked for good reason.
Heidi (@hlkchicago.bsky.social) reply parent
Sorry, it’s clear from your post history that you’re a racist. Just own it and wear your hood proudly! No one from your side cares. 🤷🏼♀️

Dog whistle much? Why not just call her the “n” word, like you really want to do?

But then we get VANCE! Are you sure?

Groceries, I’ve heard this word so much recently. What an odd old-fashioned word! (Paraphrasing rTump’s words)

Get the fuck out of here! These people are unbelievably stupid!!!!

Small world, right? I worked in their kitchen after school in HS. I took a Bible as Lit class in an attempt to understand where those fundies were coming from. I suggested that Jonah and the Whale was a metaphor for Christ consciousness and I learned, no, he was really swallowed by a whale 🤯🙄

That’s so peaceful! Nature is a great way to deal with stress. Luckily we have the lake, but I should take advantage more!
Heidi (@hlkchicago.bsky.social) reply parent
I’m so sorry to hear that! Glad you landed on your feet though. I recall a couple decades ago, Eric Estrada in commercials promoting AR and it does look gorgeous indeed. Is that the Ozarks? Wow, you have lived all around the Chicagoland area. So you know the score here 😉
Heidi (@hlkchicago.bsky.social) reply parent
Interesting! probably assumed people were only interested in “protecting”Christianity, as if there’s no other religion. I grew up in Wheaton, a fundamentalist Christian community as a non-Christian .However, the US headquarters for the Theosophical Society is based there and that helped me cope.
Heidi (@hlkchicago.bsky.social) reply parent
Isn’t it? That’s such a great thing to do to help women in Red states. Yes, I do! In Bridgeport, da former mayor’s neighborhood. Of course we have our problems here, traffic, potholes, budget problems, CPD wasting money and of course, being a sanctuary city, now ICE raids. What brought you to AR

Maybe we should question Israel’s existence as an independent country, like they do with Palestine. I mean, how long would Israel survive if ‘Murika stopped giving Israeli handouts?
Heidi (@hlkchicago.bsky.social) reply parent
Oh! And they also help women who live in red states access abortions & abortion pills 👏👏👏
Heidi (@hlkchicago.bsky.social) reply parent
Wow! You’ve got some cajones!! Glad the info is helpful. I really like their Satanic After School program info, too. Don’t tease me like that. What the law that’s worse?
Heidi (@hlkchicago.bsky.social) reply parent
Just contact The Satanic Temple who will likely help. Here’s an overview from Wikipedia about them, as well as their 7 tenets, copied from their website; they strike me as more relevant than the 10 commandments. thesatanictemple.com/blogs/the-sa...

Thanks for your reply

I’m so sick of Jeffries and Schumer. They’re both ball-less wonders
Heidi (@hlkchicago.bsky.social) reply parent
Here’s little cynical me, thinking, so what? Nothing will happen to him, just like every other republican law breaker. Like Emil Bove said, tell the judges to go fuck themselves. That’s their MO
Heidi (@hlkchicago.bsky.social) reply parent
As you likely know, especially if you watched the amazing Netflix documentary, 13th, the 13th Amendment didn’t really abolish slavery, because incarcerated people can still be used for labor. Ever notice how the overwhelming majority of people in prison are POC? Coupled with privatized prisons 🤷🏼♀️

Absolutely! I read a story about a woman using a period tracking app for a bit. She was inconsistent about entering the data and subsequently got a visit from a couple of ladies, who, from their questions assumed she was pregnant. FFS, Handmaiden Tale is alive and well in ‘Murika. So glad I’m done

Isn’t that Blackrock that’s buying up property and hiking rents?

My first thought was, think about who owns WaPo and their relationship to the Trump regime.
Heidi (@hlkchicago.bsky.social) reply parent
Did you see the photo of Jeffries looking up adoringly at Bibi? 🤮
Heidi (@hlkchicago.bsky.social) reply parent
It’s a death sentence here too. Do you recall the woman in Georgia who was pregnant and in a coma and they insisted that she carry the baby to term AND the family gets to foot the bill, too! ‘Murika…land of the “free” and home of the “brave” 🙄
Heidi (@hlkchicago.bsky.social) reply parent
No. Women can not do that in those backwards states. The authorities are monitoring women’s social media and internet searches and they WILL pursue you.
Heidi (@hlkchicago.bsky.social) reply parent
The consensus among the locals is that it used to be better before it got too popular 🤷🏼♀️
Heidi (@hlkchicago.bsky.social) reply parent
That’s so cool to have raised chickens. I love those silver Polish ones. So beautiful!! Understood re cost. I try to buy better meat from local farmers/ranchers less often; $30+ for a whole chicken is not an everyday meal. I think it’s good to pay more because you value animals’ giving their life
Heidi (@hlkchicago.bsky.social) reply parent
Actually I read that the people in Whiting hate how popular and overrun with people it’s become. Iirc, it’s mostly Kasia pierogis, which you can buy at most any grocery store in the freezer section
Heidi (@hlkchicago.bsky.social) reply parent
Is that close to Martha’s Vineyard?
Heidi (@hlkchicago.bsky.social) reply parent
FUCK TRUMP
Heidi (@hlkchicago.bsky.social) reply parent
Overall, I love Costco and their business practices. They are really good to their employees, but not so nice to those chickens. I wish I didn’t know. Also, they put some seasoning on them that is delicious, but not very healthy.

Ron Wyden was one of the few senators who voted against Bernie’s resolution to stop arms to Israel

The majority of senators voted with Bernie, but Ron Wyden (last one on the list) was one of the few senators who did not support his resolution. Shame

I like the ambiguity of your phrase, “(people are suffering) Empathy for them is hard.” Empathy towards the CEO or CEOs find it hard to have empathy. They both work and are both true. I must admit, when I first saw that story, it made me smile and chuckle a little. Karmic retribution, perhaps? 🤷🏼♀️
Heidi (@hlkchicago.bsky.social) reply parent
I did read it. I was replying to the previous comment that said, “Hope soon recovery”
Heidi (@hlkchicago.bsky.social) reply parent
I saw that. Disgusting

The woods are so beautiful and peaceful, but currently there’s apparently an uptick 😜 in the tick populations. Strangely an allergy to meat is one possible side effect of getting Lyme disease from a specific kind of tick. I’d prefer a more manicured trail so I can make sure there are none of them
Heidi (@hlkchicago.bsky.social) reply parent
I’d view it the same. My concern would be the digestive distress it might cause. I had a friend whose dog ate an entire block of cheese and had a legendary story about the results 😂
Heidi (@hlkchicago.bsky.social) reply parent
I’d never heard of this and searched online for an explanation of the history. I found this information and wondered what you might think about its veracity. winstonchurchill.hillsdale.edu/glasgow-tank...

Did you see the video of a Navarro with his head up Trump’s ass, saying that he should get the Nobel Peace in ECONOMICS!! Ok…
Heidi (@hlkchicago.bsky.social) reply parent
Pointless. Yeah, let’s impeach him a third time! Maybe this time they’ll actually finish the job and remove him from office.
Heidi (@hlkchicago.bsky.social) reply parent
Apparently Peter Navarro recently suggested that Trump receive a Nobel Prize in ECONOMICS, cuz he’s such a genius!
Heidi (@hlkchicago.bsky.social) reply parent
I thought it was string cheese? Is that bad for dogs?
Heidi (@hlkchicago.bsky.social) reply parent
But of course, when agent Krasnov works for you, you must have all manner of kompromat to keep him in line

Elon must have taken copies of those files when DOGE purged the government system of all its information.

Establishment Dems are polling worse than Republicans! Unless we can get those old fuckers out of there and get some new blood and ideas we’re DOA. Ffs, they’re against Mamdani!!

He also takes money from Blackrock, just to play both sides evenly
Heidi (@hlkchicago.bsky.social) reply parent
I’d agree with your list, except Booker, Jeffries and Schumer all benefit from AIPAC funding. Jeffries ALSO takes funding from Blackrock, I guess to seem “impartial”?
Heidi (@hlkchicago.bsky.social) reply parent
The establishment Dems aren’t polling very well either. The people want dynamic leaders who do more than just talk. Looks like Mamdani is scaring the shit out of you guys.
Heidi (@hlkchicago.bsky.social) reply parent
Well said! I couldn’t agree more! I really hope that Ben reads our responses. He always says to tell him what we think. I think Jeffries is financially beholden to both AIPAC and Blackrock. Can’t pick a side so take money from both!!
Heidi (@hlkchicago.bsky.social) reply parent
He’s financially beholden to both AIPAC AND Blackrock!
Heidi (@hlkchicago.bsky.social) reply parent
I’m confused??
Heidi (@hlkchicago.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah, I don’t get why we’re looking to him or Corey Booker for guidance when they’re both owned by AIPAC. And of course Schumer and Schiff. Here’s a list of Dem senators who voted against Sanders’s bill against Israel’s genocide. Cowards all.
Heidi (@hlkchicago.bsky.social) reply parent
Wow, these threaded convos are wild! I was responding to someone else who was hoping she’d recover soon. I understood perfectly that she was dead as I can read AND comprehend English
Heidi (@hlkchicago.bsky.social) reply parent
Wow, that WAS so very difficult to find! Let me Google that for you! I posted a screen shot to show the multiple stories about just the first quote. Just an FYI, search “Trump quote drug prices”. Now that wasn’t so hard, was it? 🤪
Heidi (@hlkchicago.bsky.social) reply parent
Everyone has a right to due process, if you know what that term means. Don’t feel bad if you don’t know the meaning, Krusty Gnome thought it was a protection meant for the president 🤪

No shit!
Heidi (@hlkchicago.bsky.social) reply parent
OMG I just looked at your profile and you are foul! Is your screen name “Peace love now” supposed to be sarcastic, like tRump’s repeated campaign promise to end the Ukraine war in 24 hours? Why don’t you go back to Xitter, OAN or “Truth” Social, so you can shit post with all the other peace lovers

Iirc, there was a school district somewhere in the US that banned the Bible after parents complained about its content. Don’t forget the fun of the first genocide. Oh, and fratricide, too, with Cain and Abel.
