I think Kamala Harris isn't a far-left radical.

I don't think the Democrats are communists.

For whatever reason.

Did you watch Terminator 2? Is that it? You want to be Sarah or John Connor? As judgement day is coming and you need a personal armory?

What the hell?

When you have your militia, you can do whatever, if someone tries to do anything to take away your freedom, you can defend yourself.

But who wants to do that?

Nobody.

The cops shouldn't be your enemies.

It's so saddening for me to see these innocent kids have been shot by school shooters. Harris and the other one. It could've been anyone.

You should also register every single firearm made.

██████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

But why this macabre fascination with guns?

It's cool in video games.

But in video games, the first lesson you learn, even on Easy Mode, is you end up dying, and that's just not acceptable in real-life.

The second amendment served it's purpose then in 1776 or 1700s. And 1800s. You needed them to "control the slaves", sure. In 1861 Abe came in.

It's not the 1900s when Al Capone used the Tommy Gun. What did he tell the cops, that he needed it for "self-defense"?

Now it's the 2000s.

So, why make such an evil, cursed thing in the first place?

Missing Udesh, Valuing the Dharmadasas and Remembering Halo 3

11:45 p.m. (b)

I miss Udesh. Those people (Dharmadasas) are like my family. I'm very proud of how I made it clear to Thilanga uncle of this. Without in anyway affronting him, telling him off or provoking anyone. I don't hate anyone. I will always consider those people and everyone else in positive ways, as my siblings-like and in favorable ways. I'll be here for them in good-faith.

Playing Halo 3 were some of my happiest memories.

A Food Ministry, Gordon Ramsay and World-Class Safety Standards

We will give honorary citizenship to Gordon Ramsay and also also Jamie Oliver.. And also, we have a "Food Ministry". I think we might be the only country to have a 'food ministry' but we will. And they'll be responsible for food safety. And it's all thanks to the awe-inspiring heroism of Ramsay.

I had food poisoning. I had salmonella para-typhoid and nearly died during my 9-days in hospital. I hate poor food hygiene. We'll make sure we have the best food safety standards in the world.

Mirtazapine, Editing Old Entries and Worrying About Hirshon’s Liability

2:15 a.m.

████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ I am writing out the edited old entries. Removing any nasty bits, to post online. It's all original content, mostly, besides quotes, so it'll fetch quite a bit of traffic. And so, I can give half to Hirshon, who should not be a ordinary share holder but a director, because if and when we get sued, as it's news, the guy will have problems. I don't know if it is possible. It might be the other way around, as usually, directors get sued, but the shareholders don't get sued. But it could be that way. And then he'll be photographed. Which is not cool.

I couldn't watch this boring ass-speech by Ali. It's too boring for me. I only like the kind of hardcore stuff I like. talk.
