Blessed are we who can laugh at ourselves, for we shall never cease to be amused.

I'm tired of all the nonsense in the world today. Minds is a step in the right direction. I like gardening, cooking, photography and freedom. Hoping all that visit enjoy my random posts on things that interest me.
--- examining paths ---
I do find values from places others might fear.

Sometimes reminders of things about life have a person running away from the reminder to other diversions.
Some just don't want the discomfort returned.
Obviously (or not so obvious) I am not with interest to increase anyone's already too much discomfort.
However if there is willingness to endure through to an understanding, there are these subjects which if explored well enough with a goal of empowering can be of help.
Sometimes there is appreciation for a type of idea in this space... and then sometimes not.
But it isn't the idea offered that determines which. The viewer viewing determines which.
As long as I keep my personal intent clean (sometimes requiring razor edge discernment) then the posts themselves should be without harm... any harm possible then is harm added not by me.
The process of my posting and the viewer viewing is a cooperation.
A clashing should come if there is a mismatching of the ultimate goal.
My razor tries to (and kind of does ok to) present ideas which are clean. Meaning without "evil" intention embedded.
If any of that is encountered, it comes from a different source than where I am from.
Wrapping this post up, please remember the fact that we work within the physical, which means there is an opposition - to everything.
So what I am honest about, will seem to have a flavor of dis-honesty somewhere.
Well, ultimately the totality of what is, is what one can know totally is.
So any result of our mutuality is a sharing result.
100% responsibility.
Just here to post shit I find funny.
If that offends you, just know
I find that shit funny too.

Our rights ā to think, speak, publish, worship, defend ourselves, travel, own property, be left alone ā are natural to our humanity.
These rights preexisted the government. Their source is our humanity. Government does not grant these rights. Rather, its primary purpose ā as stated in the Declaration of Independence, its sole purpose ā is to protect these rights.
No man can have a right to impose an unchosen obligation, an unrewarded duty or an involuntary servitude on another man. There can be no such thing as āthe right to enslave.ā
Eleutheromania, or eleutherophilia is "a mania or frantic zeal for freedom".Some usages of the term make it sound like it could be used in a medical context with a hint of an irrational disorder, a mad zeal or irresistible craving for freedom. passion for liberty.

Trying to be philosophically consistent and self aware, liberty minded individual making snarky and/or insightful comments (hopefully). On occasion I will try to one up conspiracy theory types for shits, giggles and the unlikely chance they may gain some insight into how batshit crazy they really are.
I also take photos of stuff. I intend my posts here show my evolution and improvement as a photographer and (hopefully) a trend slowly moving towards technical mastery and artistic expression.
If I have one piece of advice it's "stop humoring racists/identiterians". They are objectively bad people, and you should stop assuming they're just ignorant or mistaken. They're adults, treat them like it.

NEWS AND.... THE REST OF THE STORY
Linked stories are for your consideration - I never endorse anyone's opinion but my own. All my writings are well researched; particularly stories pertaining to the environment, renewable energy, military science and bicycling.
Note: As a former American soldier, I don't take sides in international conflicts and try to be objective.
