Lol. I know. Just havin' a laugh. They would never let anyone who isn't "expendable" be aboard during a test flight. ๐๐คทโโ๏ธ
For first timers though... burgers. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Cajun spiced chicken or salmon, curry spiced salmon, garlic marinated bay scallops, with a spinach salad on the side with Greek dressing. ๐
I was referring specifically to state-run indoctrination. There's a core fundamental difference in letting someone (the state) "program" you and choosing how you wish to be "programmed".
Thank you for causing me to think in a new way about transformation. I'm not sure what point you were making. I looked for the broader context and found this article. https://leadershipvoices.com/2013/12/09/some-thoughts-on-hemingway-and-hunters/
Just a random thought, tbh. Your original quote reminded about transformation in a general sense, and how different of a person I was before I enlisted. Apologies, if it threw you off a bit.
All of my close cousins and a few of my best mates are hodlers. Been so for years. If ya ever tryin' to orange pill someone, explain and demonstrate how the LN operates. That seems to be far more effective than explaining the blockchain ๐๐ฎโ๐จ.
Although, there has been an interesting phenomenon occurring recently; as much as they still hate listening to me, they do seem more willing to lately. Pretty bloody obvious as to why. ๐
Speaking of transformation, this Hemingway quote also stands true. Took me awhile to remember who said it ๐ .

Playing chess with my daughter, cooking, gardening, bothering normies with financial and economic education even though they always attempt to get me to piss off. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
๐... although, it's not as if I had a huge list of hobbies to choose from.
... if that is in their game plan, it won't work.
Tbh, that's not that farfetched of an outlook.
I didn't start lifting until after I was deployed. Healthy hobby to hold on to though.
I was referring to alcohol. And wow! 2 months?! Quite the stretch. I don't drink beer often, but a glass or two of whisky isn't bad on the weekend.
Wow! Congrats. Losing that much weight takes some serious effort. ๐๐
Correct.
Perhaps, we have this philosophically reversed. Mayhaps it's the responsibility of those who choose to resist indoctrination to protect those who hold a preference for it. Perhaps, we're always getting this wrong. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
