I got Frontline Guardian for free on VR. It was part of the meta quest plus subscription. Pretty good. Smoking. Just as good as if not better than Gun Club. Free range shooter. Not a rail shooter. Very similar to Crashlands which I'll get only if it's on sale. Crashlands has all kinds of creatures. I mean the variety. Giant tape worms, prehistoric ostriches, what's not to like? However low budget free range shooters aren't an option.
I like stationary shooters or else rail shooters.
Mayor Ken Sim got his house spray painted with all kinds of egregious graffiti. That's out of order. Ken Sim is a very great mayor. One of the best in Vancouver's history.
This is the worst case of house spray paint graffiti I've heard of since LeBron James got his house spray painted with the N word after he helped his team win the championship.
Which leaves me what they would have spray painted had he not won the championship.
A person thinks if they leave Canada and go back to their home country, they won't get racism or be labelled a visible minority. But there would be other things like intensified classis, the typical ignorant reverse bigotry based on regional disparities, regionalism, factionalism which would make up for the otherwise racism to fill in a vacuum of negativity that all who live life on Earth must experience and turn to greater good.
China did experience a major scale civil war within the last 100 years. Communists VS Nationalists.
That's what the mayor is experiencing. Some kind of factionalism, regionalism.
Whoever did that graffiti is a delinquent.
The Chinese diaspora is a vast cross section of many communities such as politicians, Police, doctors, lawyers, and includes the disenfranchised community, the delinquent community and egotistical troublemakers. Mentally challenged.
I wish the mayor well. Perhaps moving to a place with a fenced compound with security guards, CCTV and no walls exposed that could be spray painted with graffit might do it.
I myself am not sure of my mental health although my aim is to be 100% sane and 100% normal.
One of the phrases written in Chinese is probably lum gah chawn. I recognize the middle word gah which means family which is one of the words taught in Chinese school which I went to for a few months when I was a child.
That phrase is completely lost in translation as it is an idiomatic phrase that exists exclusively in that language.
Lum gah chawn means roughly, the one who causes the downfall of the family name. If someone did a few people in, a school shooter, and they were on the News and the parents interviewed on the News too, "We really tried to raise him the best we could but we didn't know he was into all that Guns & Ammo Soldier of Fortune crap." That guy would be a lum gah chawn.
Ironically, when Chinese parents scold their children, the phrase lum gah chawn is used with some alarming frequency.
They think that Ken Sim is a lum gah chawn? He's the Mayor of Vancouver, probably 33rd degree Freemason. Which leaves me wondering what words they would have graffitied if he wasn't the Mayor of Vancouver.
Sweeping the streets does one thing very tangible. It saves me money. For hours a day sweeping, I don't smoke nor stuff my face with snacks which costs money in the long run.
"ING Direct. Save your money."
A penny saved is a panny earned. But save money for what? I was thinking of travelling to England but the idea of crossing all of Canada and then an entire ocean, Atlantic, and then doing it all again on the way back is too intense for me. When Emily Carr went to England, she got attacked. I don't want that to happen to me in England. That's why I won't go. In England, there is a thought that it could have been prevented entirely whereas if attacked in this town, there is no addjtionally labouring under such a thought.
People living on the East Coast, New York, Nova Scotia etc don't have to worry about crossing a Continent. The East Coast is closest to Europe.
Lamentably I hope to live at the most major city in Canada that is also the farthest away from England and Europe, even farther away than Vancouver although not by much, about a 20 minute flight time. However it is a point that is closest to Asia so the West Coast would be popular with Asians whereas Asians living in New York and Florida would have to cross an entire continent and then an even bigger ocean than the Atlantic.* What a long haul.
*Planes flying to Asia usually go North and then fly South as that is the shorter path.
I'm not sure if a privatized $67 a month health plan means that a woman would have to perform her own abortions. Such a nominal rate.
"That's how you learn. So you are able to do it better next time." would be the prevailing logic.
For obstetrics, all the $67 a month would provide is a bed, a doula but not one at all trained nor licensed let alone willing to perform abortions and 3 meals a day.
What's the difference between a midwife and a doula? About $20,000 a year.
So under those circumstances, what's a pregnant woman who is desperate for an abortion to do? That's if in her weakened condition, she's able to successfully physically fight the doula and two orderlies for possession and control of the cost hanger.
The BC election is interesting but the American election is the majorly one.
The American election could wind up being a mirror, a strange fractal to the BC election as it looks like it's heading towards a 50 - 50 split just like the BC election wound up being.
In BC, the NDP got 47 seat, the BC Conservatives 44. On Monday, November 4, on CNN, Kampala Harris 47% and Donald Trump 44% of advance vote!
What's with all these 50 - 50 splits? Ratings?
A woman could win the US election.
It's a sign of the times that must be accepted. Men have pressed women for centuries in politics resulting in a waste of centuries of political talent. Although sometimes women became Queens and Empresses and that's more major than a Parliamentarian.
The fallout of the BC election has resulted in a Legislature where women outnumber men 2 to 1 kind of like any local shopping mall on 50% off women's shoe sale.
If I had a daughter, I would tell her, "You can be anything you put your mind to including politics."
Hopefully the woman in question is kind and not mean.
A mean woman can be scary. The scariest woman I've ever seen anywhere on record is Madeleine from The Fall of the House of Usher. For a child to watch that movie, Madeleine would be just terrifying.
When Eve ate the apple, there were no consequences. It was when Adam ate the apple that there was sin.
However, if a woman is mean, God knows and she gets karma just like anyone else.
Bad karma, good karma, it depends on the actions.
I try to generate good karma for myself with varying degrees of success.
Women are still exciting to me. I thought that at 50, all the batteries would have drained and I wouldn't feel excited anymore. Just numb. Often women are exciting.
The movie The Substance had a lot of beautiful women.
However, I think I'll be single for life. There's not a lot of women my age in this small town that I have much in common with. In a small town, selection suffers.
Winter is coming. I wonder if I should get an electric snow shovel for the Courthouse grounds if it snows. These snow shovels cost $300 or $150 for the smaller sized model. It would have to be recharged. There would be less than five days a year in this town where something like that would be needed. A regular shovel costs $15 or $30 at Walmart.
I got AVICII Invector for $1. Regular price, $30. What a deal. Fun fun fun. Nintendo Wii style app.

I am watching the movie The Apprentice. It's about Trump when he was young, he spent time with Roy Cohn who was his mentor. Roy Cohn was connected to Joseph McCarthy, Tailgunner Joe, so the chain of infamy continues to this day.
Lawyers can be strange like M Emmet Walsh as the lawyer in the movie Big Stan.
Roy Cohn was a strange character.
I wonder if Leftists financed this movie or those who would vote for Kampala Harris. The movie seems to portray young Trump as a mixed up guy who hung around with strange characters. I doubt Trump was like that at all.
Nothing in politics is as good or as bad as it first appears so Trump might not be that bad and Kamala Harris might not be that good.

Too windy. No street sweeping. When it's too wet and rainy and or too windy I won't sweep. It's three t ok mes the work. If given the choice between wet and wind, wet is better. Wind redisperses the debris.
The wind is at near tornado levels.
The US Election.
Democrats created the KKK. Republicans freed the slaves.
So now the Democrats have a half black half whatever female Presidential candidate. Virginia Slims, you've come a long way, baby.
Andrew Jackson was a Democrat. He was also profoundly racist. How racist? On a scale of 1 to 10, he was about 100.
It was at a time when unlike now, if you're deemed to be too racist, you wouldn't get the job, back then if you were deemed not racist enough, you wouldn't get the job.
I hope that Kampala Harris wins. With the upsurge of female presence in the corridors of political power, I hope that Kampala Harris doesn't sic all women on men in revenge for centuries of political oppression and suppression. The men's reply to that is, "But are we talking about the same men? The men who suppressed women for centuries are all dead. The ones you're after have died. Would it be fair to the men who didn't suppress you, certainly not on the level that those of the past suppressed you."
The name Amazon as the biggest retailer on the planet is predictive programming as it seems that in a lot of places, women are running the show. Female mayors MLAs, MPs, Premiers etc.
What an embarrassment of riches.
In the States, there is a separate vote for the President and another for the Congress person. Therefore there is more of a delineation between the Executive and Legislative branches of government. In the States, it is more clearly defined.
Even if a Democrat President has a 73% Republican lead Congress with Democrats representing only 27% of the seats in Congress, that person is still the president.
Im Canada, not so much. In Canada it's like a VR DLC bundle where when one votes for the Mla or MP, they simultaneously vote for the Leader of that candidates Party. Which doesn't address what if you like the MP or MLA but don't quite like the Leader or vice versa? In Canada, the line between the executive and legislative Branches of government aren't as distinct as it is in the US.
In Canada, the Executive branch is merely a glorified form of the Legislative Branch, whereas in the States they have their cards more on the table.
In the States even the Judicial Branch is subject to electoral vote as sheriffs and judges are voted for in some counties.
BC is looking for an MLA to appoint as Speaker of the House.
Could a Provincial Premier opt to be the Speaker of the House? Absolutely not.
The Speaker of the House is Legislative Branch.
The Premier is Executive Branch. Two completely different branches.
An member of the Executive Branch of government can no more be a Speaker of the House than a member of the Judicial branch of government.
Life is good to me. Today I found Crisis Brigade 1 from Sumalab games and I got it for $7.
Dead Second, Spunge Games from Australia. No other apps.
Crisis Brigade, Sumalab, part 1 called Crisis VRigade is a much simplified but similar version. I can't wait!
Drop Dead is from Gear VR which also makes Warhammer and Battle Sister at $25 plus tax each and are not stationary but free range shooters. Crap! Not interested and too high of a price too.
I'll check out Warhammer and Battle Sisters gameplay on YouTube. If it's stationary, I might get it. If it's a tree range, then I'll forget it.
Holy smokes! Remember the movie Point Break where bank robbers were wearing masks of US Presidents? In Crisis VRigade, bank robbers are wearing a mask of one US President. Trump! When a headshot is achieved, the Trump mask flies up off the face! As if it wasn't obvious enough. It's a hard game. I get struck down every time and on easy setting.
Trump is everywhere. In movies and in video games and apps like Trump Granny which is a horror escape room app.

The Courthouse grounds. More sweeping the grounds.
Trump went from being kicked off of Twitter to the owner of Twitter paying people $1 million to vote for Trump.
The Elon Musk advantage.
Trump got convicted so that means he'd be the first President to be on probation or something close to it. House arrest means that one can go to work but the minute work is completed then its back home immediately. Shopping for necessities is permitted. As President of the US, the definition of work cuts a pretty wide swath.
If the Dems lose, it would probably be because of Ukraine which Russia invaded on February 24, 2022 and Israel, October 7, 2023. This happened under the Dems watch.
Trump said if he got in power, the war in Ukraine and Israel would end very quickly.
Also the capitulation of Afghanistan to the Taliban happened in August 2021.
Trump said he would have handled that differently.
We'll see what happens.

President Donald Trump has been elected the 47th President of the United States.
It was a choice of either four more years of woke and SOGI or four years of Great White hope.
Trump has walked the gauntlet. He's the comeback kid.
He was not invited to attend the inauguration of President Joe Biden. He was kicked off Twitter. He got convicted of 34 counts of white collar crime but instead of thinking like most people would, "I got a criminal record. They'll never vote for me now." He was back in there like a dirty shirt. Then he got shot and then he raised his fist defiantly yelling, "Fight! Fight! Fight!" refusing to go gently into that good night.
As impressive as Kamala Harris being a VP is, Trump pulled off an act that was hard to follow.
Trump overcame adversity as well as odds stacked against him and the cream rises to the top.
Kamala had the odds in her favor, technically, squeaky clean record, already in high office whereas Trump was politically unemployed or else politically in between jobs at the time and yet Kamala didn't win.
She would have made a fine President.
"Trump Will Fix It." Trump won't be able to do anything about Ukraine etc until he is officially installed in Office in January 2025.
For President Trump:
"Welome back to where your dreams were your ticket out
Welcome back to that same old place that you laughed about
Well the scene has all changed since you've been around
But the dreams have remained and you've come around
Who would thought they'd meet you
Right there where we greet ya
We tease him a lot cause we got him on the spot
Welcome back
Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back."
I'm like SCP - 049. The plague doctor. I am doomed to wander the halls of purgatory for thousands of years. I think that I'm going to be single forever. This time.
With Trump on board, Elon Musk will send people to Mars for sure! Government contracts or what?
What about Elon Musk neurolink?
