10. I don't really know what to post..lame

I have to think about this..yuck..embarrassing.

This is a personal emergency for me and has been for 14 years or more at this point.

I am grateful to EarlG for allowing me to post this and leave it to his discretion and elad/Mirt’s discretion how to use this data, which I hope is not behind a screen.
And hey local cybersecurity or whatever, don’t be annoying.

You guys are all awful. Anytime someone says something you don’t like it is all “pakistani bot! Russian bot!” Cut it out man..
Presumably you are male. Tbh I understand women who are in those fields and areas even less. I am a female (cis just for exactitude) and I don’t know what being male is like, so I suppose at some point one goes “well I don’t know”.
But I tend to think that if you are female and given more freedom thus to encroach and take liberties misguidedly calculating that there is an exact formula for avoiding complaints..there isn’t.

If most of my worst harassers have been male, so have my most trusted colleagues and closest friends.
There is no formula. You have to use your brain all the time and no clunky bot or algorithm can pull it off.

So yeah..There are no Pakistani or Russian etc bots in the mix.
I mean if you mean Lina Khan and Yasha Levine yes, I like them both and not being crazy I know they aren’t in league with Putin etc.


And Pegasus sucks and if you want actually good pr for India then letting me rant is better than listening (later edit: or contact colleagues without drivel at this end..there would be drivel enough at their end.. Josh Hawley is my friend!!!!!!
I have conservative cred!!!

I picked Hawley as the least transactional. I have no wish to go to the US. I just wish your …people..don’t use this period to start some sort of low rent, creepy thing here exploiting the narcotics war. I don’t want to have to go to my dad’s friends in the Navy.


i am pretty sure whatever EarlG is, he is not a Pakistani provocateur.

You national security guys anywhere can be a real piece of work. I am just saying..I see it all the time..If you don’t agree with someone ..Godwin’s law..
But in multipolar madness.

My dad is like that. I had to point out to him “Dad it is okay to dislike someone. But every time you dislike someone, it doesn’t mean they are seditious etc. That is lame”. I mean I am no huge fan of a lot of what passes for left anywhere.

But this is all stupid kayfabe. Snap out of please guys..hey I am cool..

But seriously you can do whatever you want in your lane, you cannot go on taking me hostage because I am unpopular..

And it is creepy..I looked up this like total creep (I could weep for the life i once had when I occasionally looked up things other than creeps) Vincent Palathingal and the ad that was displayed was “Sex Addiction Treatment” or something so..yeah..He is this like icky creepy guy and..
No it’s not a false allegation, but he is a huge supporter of President Trump (I am trying to be semi professional going forward..I am too lazy to bother to type this stuff up in professional language. I actually have no sense of humor about that honey badger stuff.
I really liked the old fashioned NIH and sorry to be stuffy..In my book, it is okay to be this bluff, salt of the earth, trash talking female from podunk india..it isn’t an abomination irl.

But to actually play up to this rot because one remembers to Dr Fauci..My best guess was Idiocracy.
But there is a lot of bullshit in American Politics.


I actually came back to India..I mean come on..I had an entirely uneventful time in the US.
And I don’t want to be Ayman Al Hirsi and be all “then I realized the left is hollow”..okay but so is she. She is a persona as much as any of these guys

Whereas Dr Fauci..okay he has to be polite to all sorts of people.
But he isn’t the slick scientist who is adjacent..

He is like most scientists I know..left or right..

This is all stuff everyone knows and the only reason I have had to say this and it is not viral.

I am planning on potentially filing complaints..

And well….;-/…it is all opaque but this is also bullshit.
This is why poeple like Colbert and Stewart
They really are normal people.

Or maybe it is that they are specifically like people like me. Okay they are white and male..but that is often not how people guage who is politically similar.
I ..No I always think the democratic nominee is probably better than the republican nominee. I am just saying that..

How peope like me think and this is another ..dammit..
My point is that one starts to assess how much better, along what dimensions etc


But that is something that woman Stepfanie Tyler say and God I hope she is a bot. If she is an actual person..lol..well..That would be unfortunate, but the feeling I am sure would be more than mutual.

I was pondering, if this pile ot junk was finally associated with my real world life..
I am sorry about the kraken food thing..
Well I am sorry..in normal mode..But you all have terrible political views and you post them under your own names which I never would.


I can go offline entirely and really I would honestly not care either way.

I care about people.I seriously seriously do.

But slobbering about it online isn’t really me. I thought of how I would do that and I remembered the Star Whale from Dr.Who
Elon Musk would probably call it a pedo ;-/.

No Musk etc are terrifying if they come and build something here with no Madhav Gadgil type oversight

I am really sorry about everything I threw around..


Anyway..My point is I don’t want this awful crap growing here in India and taking me hostage with bloody lame marijuana and
