You know, one of the big third party candidates is Jill Stein. If you are one of those pro Palestine supporters who hates Israel… Stein is Jewish. She might be one of those Jews who hates Israel, but she’s still Jewish. I don’t mind her being Jewish, but I do mind her being vaccine skeptical, a Kremlin devotee, among other things.

Haven’t been there yet, but I bet it’s great!

New England theme parks rule! My mom says when she was a kid, there was another Story Land location in Cape Cod. Don’t know which part exactly, but she visited it probably when she was a toddler, maybe three or four years old. I’ll have to ask my elder aunts and uncles if they remember anything more about it. It was probably the early 1960s when she went and she’s not sure when they closed it. Internet didn’t have a ton of info on it last time I checked.

Sounds similar to Santa’s Village in New Hampshire. Somewhat close to Story Land in the White Mountains area, but I can’t remember the town it’s in. Jefferson, maybe? It was alright when I went as a kid, but damn hot. I think they’ve since added a water park so that’s an improvement, but it definitely needed more shady areas at the very least. I want to Indiana last year and do find it to be nice state, so I’ll have to consider Holiday Park if I ever go to Santa Claus.

When I was young, I wanted to go to Disney World because most other kids I knew went there. Now, I’m 28 and no longer interested. Maybe I will be one day, but not now. Disney as a company has gotten too big and the “magic” isn’t really magical if 35% of entertainment media is a Disney property. Not to mention the state of Florida is run by a tyrant, and then Disney Land in California is just in one of the most congested states in the nation. Haven’t visited a theme park in years but the best ones are Story Land (lots of toddler stuff there, but still fun) and Canobie Lake Park. Maybe Knotts Berry Farm or Busch Gardens are some better theme parks in the southeast.

Remember to vote against BJP. India has a beautiful culture and a lot of the Indian students I met in college were really amiable, thoughtful people, but BJP is ruining it.

It’s okay. I still peruse reddit sometimes because the subs here aren’t sufficient enough. Also, reddit has more variety. Lemmy is a bit too political. Like /c/news seems to only post political stuff. And it’s mostly liberal leaning (which I am), but too liberal occasionally. People hate nazis here but curiously, they also hate Israel. I’m looking for more communities that are less intense and charged. Stuff about crafting, plant rearing, literature, etc. The other big fediverse site, Mastodon, has a similar prevalence of charged stuff, but I’ve found a bit more silly things both on my own and with suggestions over there. I suppose I could start some new communities here but I’m doubtful I have the fortitude to make them get increased traction.

Can he just be quiet for once? Why is he even saying that? It’s a death threat but I think he’s too stupid to realize it. This is probably why so many of your family members don’t want to help on your campaign. Melania, Barron, Ivanka, Jared… and Tiffany and her husband. You don’t have to talk every time you are interviewed. You can ignore or decline requests to talk. Lord knows you do that enough with invoices.

Sometimes I wonder if he became pedophilic because of his sad life. Between losing family in the Holocaust and losing more family and friends in the Tate/LaBianca murders by the Manson family, he must felt like his life was out of control. But it’s easy to control teenaged girls into having sex with you. Or maybe the genocide and murders he experienced had nothing to do with his sins. But it’s something I think about occasionally. I’ve seen only a couple of his movies so far but I notice some themes from his life, like the death of babies or babies being evil, and I feel like it’s some personal allegory.

He also only turned the water into wine because his mother nagged him to do it. Two of the people thought to be the most perfect and infallible in Christian tradition are actually fallen people. I think it’s pretty noble to abstain from alcohol or other addictions but the way this guy does it is so belittling.

I’m hardly an expert, just someone who loves studying law by myself until I can afford formal law school, and I did a little PR work during my internship, but despise my rudimentary exposure, Trump, his spokespeople, and legal team are approaching these indictments in the completely wrong way. They are too adversial and argumentative. Speaking little and gently would be much more helpful, and maybe even opting for a guilty plea. Trump needs to stop whining about how much he hates being prosecuted and the publicists and attorneys on his payroll need to stop regurgitating his bellyaches. It’s not like I think he won’t be sentenced for being agreeable. He likely will, but maybe they’d be able to make some compromises. Now I know why Ivanka will not work on her father’s current campaign. Her style of arguing is much more reserved, while her two eldest brothers have an aggressive style which seems to be the only one their father seems willing to emulate. I bet Trump did not listen to his daughter’s advice often enough. Edited a word.
