It's fun to use Google Earth sometimes, and just travel around, looking at places :)

I used to do that a lot! I'd use the flight simulator sometimes, but I'm a poor pilot, LOL.

Hello everyone. I am new to this region.

Yeah, it takes a bit of practice to fly longer, although once you know the controls, I only use the keyboard though, you manage to fly steadily at least for quite some time.

But you also have the ground view at some places, where you can just go around. For not to say the bigger cities, which have 3D modeling and street view :)

Although there has been some criticism against the application too, of course, from certain countries, regarding invasion of privacy, defense and national security.

Or, if you are more sadistic than our angel New Waldensia, use NukeMap. Fun way to explore the world by destroying it.

:P

Q: What's the difference between capitalism and socialism?

A: In capitalism, man exploits man. In socialism, it's the other way around.

Americans are, necessarily, the 'greatest' people on earth; 54% of them are obese!

I just want to share a song, that I still like listening to, now and then :)

When I was little it was candy and nice weather
The war was over,
Uncle Lauritz was on the radio. [1]
Of Uncle Sam we got so simple laws
Donald Duck & Co

Mothers were at home - it was easy to live
Two hours of TV
We saw double or rid (white) and black [2]
All the pop had Arne Bendiksen written [3]
And the Beatles hair was weird

Where are the heroes today?
Rise up again
Zorro come back
Who's going to save the world now?
Prřysen and child faith [4]
Is nostalgia on video

We had longer hair than Wenche Myhre [5]
Some used acid
Someone wanted to be like Dylan
A friend of mine let Mao rule
Everything he said and did
It got too f***ing awful, when he was first mature,
To see that kid
Went and got another hero than him
He chose Christ and gave Lenin his foot
And he knows he disappoints him.

Where are the heroes today?
Rise up again
Stalin come back
Ungratitude is the salary of the world
When the son of the atheist
Even pray the evening prayer

Nobody arrests villains anymore
It's every man for himself
One gets a career
Another lots of beer..

Call him a fossil, he can withstand that contempt
He knows well that power
Is up there as it always is
Give him a couple of beers and tell the guard
That he throws him out before three

The kids sing...

Where are the heroes today?
Rise up again
Tjorven, come back [6]
The heroes, they just left
The dream went down the toilet
And Uncle Lauritz is on video

Where are the heroes today?
Rise up again
Lord, come back
But Zorro, Marx and Jesus left
The dream went down the toilet
And Uncle Lauritz is on video.

Funny, but probably fuelling a misperception.

My email today:

8:58 AM “Great News! Your order is now out for delivery.”
3:57 PM “Yeah! Our records show your order has now been delivered”

Either I'm missing something or this is ludicrously fast delivery for something I ordered Thursday. From halfway across the country. With normal shipping (5-7 business days).

It happens sometimes. I'm usually thankful. But I ordered a new laptop last month (which means my old one can sit in a corner and send out recruitment TGs!) and the delivery estimate was 3-6 business days. It shipped on Jul 23, as expected, so it should have arrived between the 26th and 31st, which was good because I was coming home from vacation on the 24th. But alas, I was told on Jul 24 that it was being delivered today, necessitating a trip to a FedEx location to pick it up (because a signature was required on delivery and no one was home).

One of the few times I've been irritated at unusually-fast shipping.

I have to tell you something. I will be leaving this place permanently. I will no longer ever talk to you and will not seek any other internet contact.

Am I mad? No. Do I not like you? I love you guys... What is the problem then? Well...

Lately I managed to see I see internet and my life in it as "the better life" and I started mostly ignoring real life completely or as much as possible to a point I decided not to sleep and eat unless nobody is online from my giant group of internet friends. I don't hate you, nor blame you. I have a mental illness... I will seek help and sorry you got taken into it...

Why am I writing this? Because of two reasons:

1 - I think you deserve to know... I just do because I saw you as one of the most important people in my life for a long time

2 - It helps me to feel better...

I am very sorry if you feel bad for me in any way or sad or angry at me. You are very rightfully angry sad or to have any other negative emotions towards me and I accept that. I am trying to get out of my safety bubble of internet where I usually am an admin or have other power and just feel safe and go to the real world and learn to accept having none of that at all under any circumstances...

I am not leaving immediatley and I am willing to explain more about it. I do not have professional help at the moment, just my friends and family. I am not asking for your help or support. I loved you all and I hope you the best life you can ever get.

Slavic lechia:

I wish you all the best. Thanks for letting us know about this.

I think you made the right call Slavic Lechia, it is unhealthy to get to attached to the internet and lose touch with the real.

The marmot was prophetic!

The leaves were long, the grass was green,
The hemlock-umbels tall and fair,
And in the glade a light was seen
Of stars in shadow shimmering.
Tinúviel was dancing there
To music of a pipe unseen,
And light of stars was in her hair,
And in her raiment glimmering.

There Beren came from mountains cold,
And lost he wandered under leaves,
And where the Elven-river rolled
He walked alone and sorrowing.
He peered between the hemlock-leaves
And saw in wonder flowers of gold
Upon her mantle and her sleeves,
And her hair like shadow following.

Enchantment healed his weary feet
That over hills were doomed to roam;
And forth he hastened, strong and fleet,
And grasped at moonbeams glistening.
Through woven woods in Elvenhome
She lightly fled on dancing feet,
And left him lonely still to roam
In the silent forest listening.

He heard there oft the flying sound
Of feet as light as linden-leaves,
Or music welling underground,
In hidden hollows quavering.
Now withered lay the hemlock-sheaves,
And one by one with sighing sound
Whispering fell the beachen leaves
In the wintry woodland wavering.

He sought her ever, wandering far
Where leaves of years were thickly strewn,
By light of moon and ray of star
In frosty heavens shivering.
Her mantle glinted in the moon,
As on a hill-top high and far
She danced, and at her feet was strewn
A mist of silver quivering.

When winter passed, she came again,
And her song released the sudden spring,
Like rising lark, and falling rain,
And melting water bubbling.
He saw the elven-flowers spring
About her feet, and healed again
He longed by her to dance and sing
Upon the grass untroubling.

Again she fled, but swift he came.
Tinúviel! Tinúviel!
He called her by her elvish name;
And there she halted listening.
One moment stood she, and a spell
His voice laid on her: Beren came,
And doom fell on Tinúviel
That in his arms lay glistening.

As Beren looked into her eyes
Within the shadows of her hair,
The trembling starlight of the skies
He saw there mirrored shimmering.
Tinúviel the elven-fair,
Immortal maiden elven-wise,
About him cast her shadowy hair
And arms like silver glimmering.

Long was the way that fate them bore,
O'er stony mountains cold and grey,
Through halls of ireon and darkling door,
And woods of nightshade morrowless.
The Sundering Seas between them lay,
And yet at last they met once more,
And long ago they passed away
In the forest singing sorrowless.
