Dealing with troubled youth in the aftermath of misconduct can be challenging. I firmly believe that juvenile detention is an ineffective and potentially harmful solution. Be like the president ordering nuclear weapons against Iran because of you know one small section or group Within a society I could just as well say we have to Nuke the South because of the K*K and you can these kids is exactly what that does I mean I can't speak for it personally because I was never Angie but I've got some close friends that were and I saw the results and I recently seen the results In a young kid that is just ruined for lack of vocab. Interacting with these individuals as adults reveals a disturbing level of desensitization and cynicism at an early age. This desensitization can manifest rapidly, leading to unresponsiveness or harmful reactions. Robert A. Heinlein's 'Starship Troopers' explores this philosophy, emphasizing that children should not be treated as adults due to their inability to take responsibility and hold themselves accountable. This distinction is vital in recognizing when an individual transitions into adulthood. Interestingly, some people never reach this milestone. And I just think it puts in a fine point on the definition of adulthood especially in the author's case in point which is the death penalty. And his argument was that we can never really use the death penalty because we're not the ones to be able to judge whether an adolescent has grown into an adult with the criteria that we have in place now which is a birthday. I've contemplated this you know as a benchmark over the years and applied it to different situations that I've been in personally and then I've helped to counsel people that are in IE Edition I mean.. but that's a new post isn't it

Authorities say the first incident occurred at approximately 11:30 a.m. on the 5100 block of 41st Avenue South, where a robbery at gunpoint was reported. A short time later, officers responded to a similar robbery at gunpoint on the 3400 block of Bloomington Avenue.

Whilst whittling a string Winder for my guitar and at the same time nipping the tip of my index finger off with the knife I heard a familiar but far off voice say "that'll learn you!" Who's the voice is that I wonder I mean I didn't grow up in the fifties or in Mayberry right? any other etymology Geeks out there or is it just me? I'd like to know what the original Spirit of that saying was it ironic? Is it literal as in I should be smarter now cuz I don't feel any smarter

What's the void right now? It's like proving a negative or finding dark matter. What does not exist but is needed by all, they just don know it.? Musicians? Builders? Anyone see anything or need a widget that will with some work be worth the cash? I still want my jet pack, robot butler and valet and what is up with teleports? Last I saw they moved a photon like 8 inches which is amazing unless you watched it cause... What? And let's stay away from privatizing submarines. As much as that sucked for everyone In it, it wasn't pretty out here either. Can't get that made up movie out my head. How about Ai like Jarvis? I want to ask him to go find an idea. See how long it takes the terminator to get here.

Haven't been on the vendor side of things for awhile. I'm going to list a few things I have come across, these items that are no doubt of high q, and deserve the merit, I think they are just passing thru. Defying odds or perhaps rewriting statistical probability, in order to make you say "that's all me."
Check out the store or marketplace. Thanks for the add!

Well, its been another year for the books here folks. moved from downtown, then sorta moved again. Planned to take the dog, ebike and trailer, and head ...somewhere but sometime before i left the bike went haywire and kinda died. so... stayed where I was until I could get it fixed. yea that didn't happen. what followed was, depending on whom you ask, an adventure, a disaster, a camp, a lost dog, a puma, a reunion, a fire, cops, another fire, more cops, another camp, rinse and repeat, and then..... it gets interesting or so I'm told...

I've been looking at tile, a few other Bluetooth trackers but recently read a comparison. I don't agree with the testing or at least their results have not been what I've casually observed but for $20 they paid for themselves the first week.

I attached Chipolo to my keys and now I can ring them from Chipolo app on my phone. And if it's the phone I can't find, I can ring it with Chipolo even if it's on silent. If you buy Chipolo from this link, 20% discount will be automatically applied to your order.

I do not know how though, I suspect thru no effort of mine (its become a goal) I have recovered my facebook account! all started with a lost phone and ironically, I lost my phone again last night ( tracked and will recover) I was stuck in the 2FA loop for something like 6-7 months, and yall, its been an eventfull, roller coaster for the last year. I'm told I should write about it, some of it has been. (Spoiler: Yes I built the cabin and the tent city grew around me) someday When I figure out how to start from the middle, and make it less dark and more "Dark Comedy" I'll put ink to paper.

Okay so I should explain the last post and the fact that I didn't know it posted. This is me after eight days of looking for my dog. I had been working with a group called The retrievers, referred to me by somebody on Facebook I believe they're at facebook com/therevers and one person within their group was my sort of go to and she talked about trail cameras and lo and behold I have a trail camera so that got me thinking and she talked about trackers and I said well I can probably track as good as anybody that I know I mean maybe not great but I I mean I know the woods well and.. turns out no I don't know how to track because the first prints I found I couldn't identify, I thought they were dog, somebody else said they look like trash panda, somebody else said big Cat. And that stopped me in my tracks because I don't want to run into a big cat. it frightens me. cats are just as scared as us but I don't think that in any of the videos I've seen they look very scared, look more Curious and then they look kind of hungry. So I set a trail cam and the first day as you'll see in the video, went out with no food and then the second day I used my food at site of those "spooky" prints and then didn't bring any back when I got to the other trail camera.
Now, all that said my dog has been found and he is home and the cameras have been collected and no video has been looked at no pictures have been looked at I haven't had time to do any of that because I still live in a tent in the woods in the Minnesota River Valley. This is because I have made some interesting decisions. But I am getting back to work and getting back to life after 2 weeks of walking around as a machete and Tomahawk wielding crazy person who has been searching the swamp for a body that he doesn't want to find. that's why it looks so.. well that's what's happening in this video

Be back out later with more food and I'll have pics to share
