Yep…and nieces…who have lived on government assistance their whole lives, and been taken care of by everyone in the family. Yet, they’re still owed something and nobody ever does anything for them! Ah…the holidays!
Ahhh, the Holidays.
Thursday will be the first Thanksgiving dinner in 30 years that we didn't have to sit through dinner with the fucking leftist relatives.
Life is good.
 
View attachment 8004440Just yesterday, I was on a divided road with an 8’ wide two lane bike path paralleling it. Cyclist is in the road instead, admittedly on the right side. I’ve got traffic next to me so cannot move over, so I pass him without slowing down. I did move left and hugged the line to give him way more than the legal 3’ clearance between us.

I get past him and see him fling a finger at me in my rear mirror. I laughed. Did he expect me to slow down to his speed? Respect his ‘right’ to use the Highway? 🤣🤣

Yes, I realize that he is a ‘serious’ cyclist and doesn’t deign to share with the occasional recreational rider…<sarcasm>

@TheGerman Feel free to elaborate.
Looks like WWII methamphetamine issued to the troops….

People wonder how the German troops, speficifcally the Waffen SS, were able to do the horrible things the did… look no further. All of them were higher than a kite…

I did that once in PEI Canada. Not a big one like that and they used power tools of the day. I was a kid and just ran to get supplies. Those Men were talented and tough. I know what my Great Uncle ( WW1 and WWII) Veteran would say about Canadian leadership now it would not be positive for sure

Pervitin... was a over the counter 'pick me up' in 1930's Germany.

Used during invasions of Poland and Western Europe to fuel Blitzkrieg. But part of the reason the Wermacht stalled outside Dunkirk may have been that the troops hit the end of their ropes... even with amphetamines. Not much later in the war it was banned.

Not sure if it's still happening today, but as late as VN, U.S. Special Operations troops were issued 'stay awake' pills. Amphetamines. And one of the reasons that the 'biker culture' of the '60's (many groups founded by WW2 veterans looking for excitement) were into amphetamines was exposure to the drugs during the war. Esp. Aircrews. Helped you ride hard and party hard!

Meh.... everyone looks for an advantage! Or a buzz. Rope on sailing ships was kept locked up because the sailors would smoke the hemp... rope locker indeed.

The Japanese developed meth in a lab. The Germans went there and bought the patent. They mass produced it as Pervitin. During the Blitzkrieg the Allies were baffled as to how the hell can the German armored divisions move non stop for days at a time.... Easy if you are jacked up on Meth. Both the military and civilians were addicted as hell. Excellent show about this on AHC channel... Called: Hitler's Super Soldiers.
