Everyone knows her (a #poem)

When the sirens wailed
and all went black
she was lost for words
and couldn't go back

It was close to sundown
when the mountains grew closer


It felt like a touchdown
when she tried to compose her

She couldn't remember
why they chose her
't Was in September 
and everyone knows her

You are absolutely free! As long as you conform.

They hate anything 'woke' because they want social injustices to keep existing. Thanks to (the lawyers of) Ron DeSantis there's no longer doubt about why Republicans are anti-woke.
Conservatives (is 'conservative Republican' a pleonasm?) say they want freedom. In reality they don't want freedom for all. 

In 'the land of the free!' that freedom is only for those who conform to a fixed set of rules:

-Dress like you're an extra, playing in an office setting in a movie about a law firm;
-Put 'christian' in your social media profile;
-Get regular haircuts;
-Be hypocrite;
-Strive to take first place in your field of expertise;
-Act grumpy and frustrated when you don't succeed. Which is most of the time;
-Blame others for anything that goes wrong in your life;
-Say the USA is the best country there is and act surprised if that makes foreigners want to live there;
-Misquote the Bible and the Constitution at every opportunity you get;

-Saying you follow Jesus means you don't need to live by His rules;
-Say you hate foreigners and that granddad De Santos or grandma Doornik worked really hard to become American;
-Be white. Or at least act like you are. Denounce your family name and your ancestors if you have to.
-Be proud of something you never spilled a drop of sweat for to achieve: being American.

Do you check al boxes? Congratulations, you are a real Conservative American!

You have earned the right of learning how Dee Snider from the rockband Twisted Sister, single handedly, exposed the stupidity, hypocrisy and twisted (...) minds of some of your leaders:

14 Smiles (a #ShortStory)

Her smiles were 
his measurement of time

She would smile at her co-worker, other clients or at him


An extra big smile 
when he invited her 
to talk about sex 

Some of her smiles he missed 
because an old brick pillar
obscured his view

He stayed for 14 smiles

Why do Americans want to ruin their own future?

"The next generations of Americans will have to live with poisoned water and soil."
That quote was taken from this clip, 

explaining that - generally speaking - Americans really do not care about anyone or anything but themselves. As if they take pleasure in ruining the planet and depriving their grandchildren of clean air and water. Their faith in capitalism is só strong that they are willing to suffer themselves so [their politicians] the oil industry has an ever increasing standard of wealth. As evidenced by the fact they voted for policitians who introduced a ban on the future banning of single use plastics.

Figures (click) show that the American population (and that of a few other countries) really has gotten dumber. Some of their supposedly smartest people - the ones actually [ruining] running the country are people who deny the existence of (man caused) climate change, believe in 'jewish space lasers', that women can't get pregnant when raped, et cetera. If the smartest people in a country are that unbelievably dumb, what does that say for the general population?

Of course - and luckily there are Americans who are still capable of thinking and won't let a handful of media control their thoughts and actions. But I fear for the future of the 'land of the free'. And that of the planet. 

So, why do you think that so many (non-)Americans are so dumb?

To Fly (a #poem)

So many different faces
So many different lives
So many different stories
So many different cries

Not many different people
are like you or I
No one 's really illegal
Everyone deserves to fly

Ladies, are you real?

A friend of mine once transferred money to a nice lady who contacted him and said she had always been looking for a nice, mature Dutch man, willing to marry a sweet Romanian woman of 25. She was 'saving to come over' and 'only needed a few hundred euros more'. Apparently my friend was unaware he wasn't chatting with a nice Romanian lady, but probably with some male student, working for some ugly and middle aged Russian conman. I told my friend about one of the giveaways: real women don't have perfect round br3asts that are identical to eachother and are obviously not grown but bought. 

A rather large part of all internetdata seems to be occupied by pretty, young ladies who all seem to long for an intimate relationship with desperate older men. As long as there's only a small percentage of men desperate enough, these cons will exist.

You find those 'ladies' on dating apps, social media and more and more often they send innocent men 'accidentally' a text message that was supposed to be for a businessman they had just met and who wrote his phonenumber on a napkin. They apologize, start chatting with their victim and before you know it, he buys shares in a non-existing company, falls for a pyramid-scheme, pays money for a plane ticket for a non-existing person or some other con. 

Here's a question for ladies reading this: if you really want people to like you for your humour and intellect, are 'Humour' and 'Intellect' the names you give your br3asts?

If not, why are you 'showing off the goods' if you claim you just want a decent conversation, perhaps even about s3xism?

Do you also receive a couple of friendship requests a week from ladies like these? And how do you deal with them? They usually just started their social media account, only post selfies, no education or anything real mentioned and have the number for a 'private' WhatsApp group in their bio. 






"I'm a young bl0nd from a small town. 1.69m on bare feet, 1.78m on heels and 1.10m if you're nice to me."

And ladies, please, if you are real, don't blow up your lips, booty or b0obs. Unless you're not interested in an actual nice guy, but only want to be intimate with guys who like their blow up dolls to clean themselves. Simply imagine how your implants will look like twenty years from now. Okay? Is that really the look you're going for?




Don't worry, you won't get a social media ban for sharing this picture of Donatella Versace. We're not allowed to share pictures of bare br3asts with the n1pples showing (unless they're male, of course. D'oh!) but there's no rule against sharing pictures of expensive pieces of plastic.

Interesting update: August 23d 2023 this post was removed by Google 'because it violates our rules on threat and intimidation'. So I changed a few words and letters and see if I now fall in line with what is considered 'freedom of expression' in the USA. Which isn't easy because what you can freely express in the USA changes every so many couple of months. Depending a bit on what's trending on social media under conservatives.

'Yes, but if I want to show my butt, lab1a and cleavage, that's my right! Any man who then stares at them is just a s3xist pig!' 'And if a man shows you his p3nis through some thin trousers and you stare at it?' 'That's totally different!'

Just out of curiosity: why do some men do the same as some women and send unsuspecting people pictures proving how big their...er...brains are?

(And why are their jogging pants always light grey?)

You'd died (a #poem)

In the limelight you shined
and you didn't care who watched


In the shadows you declined
an invitation to be matched

In the papers it said you'd lived
but in your heart
you felt you'd died

Connect the dots!

If you really want to think for yourself and not just repeat the words of a populist, you need to actually be able to 'connect the dots'. i.e. You have to know what 'data' is, thrustworthy information, use your knowledge and insight to combine those parts and use some wisdom to finally 'connect the dots'. If you are unable to do so - or simply can't - you 'll only feel welcome at meetings of conspiracy theorists.

=========================
As I'm sure you know by now, conspiracy theorists don't care about facts and are living in 'the upside down world'. They want people to 'wake up' but are shushed asleep by populists. They want others to 'connect the dots' but act like toddlers when they try themselves. They like to state they're not afraid but are terrified. And so on.


If you are serious about joining a discussion, you should grasp terms like 'correlation' and 'causation'. If you don't, that's okay. But please keep to simpler conversations. I'm learning French but don't understand the language well enough to engage in complex conversations. So - for now at least - I'll refrain myself from saying more than stuff like 'Ta musique est géniale!' and 'Je t'adore ta bouche. Viens chez moi, samedi?'

What do you think of people who can't 'connect the dots'?
