So, quick question.

The forum is called 'Gaming'. which is what we used to call it when we would play D&D. I know that these days, it usually means computer/XBox/WII/etc.

So, is D&D and such TTRPGs also discussed here?

Enquiring old school minds wish to know.

Thank you so much for the hearts!

They mean a lot to me.

This line has really affected me.

I will post a link to the teaser trailer I am quoting.

So, there are now 'teasers' about the upcoming Hail Mary from Marvel, i.e.: Avengers: Doomsday. One of them involves the 'X-Men' from the 2000s movies. (You know, Hallie Berry, Hugh Jackman, Sir Patrick Stewart, etc.) The trailer is interesting, but what is said during it has really hit me hard.

"The question isn't 'are you prepared to die?'... the question is... who will you be... when you close your eyes?'"

My answer is 'no one'. Completely pathetic. Because I am no one. I have had no impact on anyone or anything, except when my curse comes into play and I end whatever it was that I was involved with. (Every band I have ever been in ended right after I joined. Every band I started either ended within a year or decided to play with someone else due to 'creative differences', which is another term for 'we don't like your direction and we are too lazy to discuss it'.)

Who will you be? I sincerely hope that everyone else gets to 'be' whatever it is that you are aiming for. My time is done. I understood that after the first time I was left alone with issues that could have been helped, but I am not rich or powerful, so on one felt there was enough of a reason to bother.

When I close my eyes, I will be no one, because I lived as no one.

It was not by choice.

I want to help.

But, between my health, my lack of wealth, a complete lack of hope for anything anymore, as well as my ever-growing fury over what is happening in this city/state/country, plus the fact that I will NOT stand idly by when someone is being attacked (I do not care about their accoutrements, without proper ID, they are criminals engaged in criminal activity).

So, it is probably best that I sit in my living room and slowly waste away. I would not be of any use in the current mindset that is being applied here. (I doubt I would be of any use in any mindset, to be honest.)

But, I am finding it increasingly hard not to do something, even if that something would not be... popular?

Here's to you, Catherine!

Here is a link to the 66A district meeting tonight.

Just in case anyone felt like tuning in.

(Yes, it is streaming through Facebook... which means I still won't see it, as I do not have Facebook and would rather pour boiling alcohol on an open penile wound than be associated with it in any way. But, that's just me!)

Trump Agrees To Pull ICE Agents Out Of Minnesota

Source: Daily Mail UK

Donald Trump has agreed to pull ICE agents out of Minnesota and allow local cops to investigate a protester's killing by federal agents, Tim Walz said.

The President held a phone call with the state's governor on Monday following the death of 37-year-old Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse who was shot dead by agents during protests against the immigration crackdown in Minneapolis on Saturday.

Walz's office said: 'The President agreed that he would talk to his Department of Homeland Security about ensuring the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is able to conduct an independent investigation, as would ordinarily be the case.

'The President also agreed to look into reducing the number of federal agents in Minnesota and working with the state in a more coordinated fashion on immigration enforcement regarding violent criminals.'

Yeah. He may have said it, but does he mean it?

I call bullshit. This is a 'media placation move' to get them to be more 'equitable' in their reporting.

Well CRAP!

There is a meeting being held on St. Paul campus at UofM by my rep in the state legislature. It is about the current state of affairs in the area. I very much wanted to attend.

BUT...

There is no where to park that is anywhere near the place. The lots that are designated for public use are too far away for me to walk today, thanks to my decrepit body being even more decrepit than usual today.

SO...

I guess I don't get to attend. I cannot risk my car being towed. AT. ALL. I cannot walk those distances today. (Probably for the next few days if things go as they usually do. Filthy apartment and all I can do is sit and fume.)

FUCK.

EDIT: You know, I did not mention the district. It is for 66A.

I am really struggling here.

There is so much of me that wants to post a long screed about just how horrifying it is that many of us are going to die while our 'betters' are sitting around safe in their expensive homes casually discussing things, like this is some kind of chess game.

But, why bother writing that? No one will care about it, and when (not 'if', unfortunately) those animals start literally mowing down anyone they want to in the street, they will just redirect the discussion and continue to sit safely (mostly because these types generally don't go out in 'the streets').

It makes me want to throw up.

People like me are 'expendable'. We are just fodder. We are not rich, we are not leaders of the economy, we are just peons. Thanks to the societal rigging that was done over the past sixty years or so, we won't ever become anything but peons. And now, we are moving targets. Which is fine with those in power, I guess. I mean, other than threats of 'action' by using a system that was corrupted and tweaked to favor the very people we are trying to use said system against, we don't seem too willing to put a stop to this.

Because it has not stopped yet. It has only gotten worse. And, our leaders? They are talking. And talking. And talking.

Until it happens to someone of 'merit', we are doomed to die in droves while our 'masters' hold meetings and urge 'caution'.

How marvelous.
