Since the world we see today have been turned into what it is by normal people, abnormal should be very attractive…

Laundry Management for Aspies
Taking care of the laundry is oftentimes exhausting.
And still, it has to be done — if you’re wondering. Otherwise, people will smell you, and they will never tell you, just stop being around you… that’s people for you, so yes, it has to be done and no one, except perhaps your mom, will ever tell you so…
Hague Invasion Act
Did you know there’s an American law that would ultimately result in a US invasion of the Netherlands?
Oh, yeah. It’s even called the Hague Invasion Act. The response to an American citizen being arrested by an international criminal court… the ones that deal with war crimes and crimes against humanity… you know, like genocide…
I’m not saying US lawmakers are making room for American war criminals, but it is a bit like catching your kid bringing a pack of condoms to a “sleepover with friends”… they might not need them, but you’re not going to take any prisoners on that one.
SF Author Beware of Law Suits
As an aspiring SF author, I try not to write about real stars and planets… I mean, who knows who might want to sue you in a couple of years or decades?
Things that will kill you
Things that will kill you:
- Three minutes without air
- Three days without water
- Three weeks without food
- …oh, and Three hours without coffee… right? 😀
But there are always exceptions:
- In cold water, there are reports of survival up to an hour without oxygen. Freedivers manage up to four and a half minutes (22 minutes when not diving to depths), helped by the mammalian diving reflex (and some preparation like oxygen saturation)
- And if you’re unfortunate enough to be in an Austrian prison in the 70ies, you may have to try to survive without water for 18 days… although, there may have been some wall licking going on there…
- If you are overweight, you can survive much longer than twenty one days without food
- The coffee, however, that’s an absolute! 🙂
Post Truth
“I can still see your hand in the cookie jar!”
“No, you can’t! That is not a cookie jar, and this is not a hand… and besides, it’s not my hand anyway… And how about your hand! I swear I saw it in this exact cookie jar last night!”
“No, you can’t! That is not a cookie jar, and this is not a hand… and besides, it’s not my hand anyway… And how about your hand! I swear I saw it in this exact cookie jar last night!”
Thin and Narrow
She was thin and narrow. Her siblings called her ugly. I thought she was beautiful.
When the two-legged ones came they threw her to the ground. One of them even stepped on her, squashing her open.
I watched her for days, halfway buried there in the dirt. She started decaying. I feared she was gone for this world. And for what? Being thin and narrow?
After a week she sprang roots, digging into the ground, and not soon after she reached for the azure skies.
At first, she was just a twig with two leaves on top. She did not even reach above the high grass. I teased her and called her Sprout. She bent in the wind and I think she laughed.
Failure is inevitable
A life well lived will have failures.
If you do nothing in order to avoid failure, that’s a failure too…
Sleep depraved
– What… is he doing?
– He’s sleepwalking…
– But why does he… do that?
– He’s sleep depraved…
