TODAY IN THE WEST

Two themes today: one for your education, and the other for relaxation.

First, the relaxation. Today is National Comfy Day, which leads to a Question of the Now: how do you get comfy? For me, I wear comfortable clothes, sit on a couch in my sunny living room, and I read. In the morning it's with coffee, in the afternoon, it's with ice water, and in the evening, it's with homebrew.

Now for education. Today is World Day of Social Justice. Social justice is a concept communicated in various ways by many great cultures, religions, and philosophical schools. Whereas in antiquity the thematic focal point was usually the city, we now think more globally since issues of social justice are interconnected. In a way, NS reinforces this through the various outcomes tied to issues. Want to pursue ecological justice? Look at economics, military industry and practices, class, race, and sometimes even religion.

This year, the UN's theme is Social Justice in the Digital Economy. Read more here: https://www.un.org/en/observances/social-justice-day

You can be socially just in small ways by observing our cardinal rules: give your chocolate to Darkesia to whom it belongs, and don't be a d*ck.

Remember that our Festival of the Perfections begins tomorrow, and you can still join our Valentine's Card Contest.

The UN is so useless

Wickedly evil people and The heavenly protectorate

Fresh pot of coffee, sweatpants, turn the lights off, and bingewatch from bed.

Leaving so soon? Not that we care.

How the Antichrist gets comfy:

After a steamy shower and full body grooming, I put on silky pajamas and begin a beauty ritual; facial peel, moisture/collagen mask, and illumination cold pads. Laying back and allowing myself to be spoiled by a masseuse's hands massaging my calves and arms a mimosa at arm's length away. Followed by a mani-pedi by my Lady in waiting. All the while listening to Chopin's Nocturnes...

Social Justice

One subject that has caused much argument is the administrative recognition of hate speech.

The UN has drafted a plan of action against the concept (see: https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/hate-speech-strategy.shtml)

Hate speech often gets tied into the argument of free speech. To wit: by restricting certain types of public statements; oral or promulgated; a government would reduce an individual's civil rights.

Yet, hate speech intrinsically seeks to restrict or strip away the civil rights of "non-favorables" it highlights. It has been the prelude to genocide, segregation, and incitement of coups against liberal and inclusive administrations.

Fascists often use hate speech as a tool to anger a prejudiced and ignorant populace to action. It's continued existence is a blight on the reputation of a progressive and enlightened nation. In simplex: it must be banned for the stability of a country and general consciousness of empathy.

I get comfy with my polar bear pajamas. Since I work from home, I ensure I have seperation by having comfy pajamas and work pajamas. Only the finest of comefy pajamas. I like to read on my beanbag or on the bed, and it helps me relax. I also take long ass showers, and my water bill has really grown since I redid my bathroom.

Mrs BBD and eldest granddaughter have identical (apart from size) polar bear pyjamas.

Education is something you could do with when one considers your spelling of “your”. Try writing in proper English please, not some urban patois.

Question of the Now: how do you get comfy?
Answer: we put on the BBC world news then nap to the monotonous drone.

Does anyone have stamps?

And now, from The Pacific Post of 2008 during the TWP Delegacy of BIteland:

TAO Smash Puny Region!!

Global Union of Nations

7th June 2008

In another example of a Feeder refusing to give in to regional rule violators, The West Pacific's Black Sheep Squadron, including several allies, took over the region Global Union of Nations, after the founder was deleted for rule violations, and have just finished gutting the region. The region's natives had responded furiously and immaturely to the moderator's actions, resulting in further Mod action including the deletion of GUN natives for rule violations, and the argument spilling into TWP's RMB.

After this display, TWP delegate Biteland ordered BSS into the region, to the approval of many members of the region.

"Those stupid Pouchies have gone on far too long without being punished!!" snarled TAO, "It's about time them roo-fur licker's got what's coming to them!!"

After large amounts of whining and an insincere apology from the natives, Biteland ordered the region to be destroyed. But the stupidity from the natives continued, which included insulting the region One Big Island, who promptly declared war on GUN and moved in to bolster the TWP soldiers. GUN's biggest and most foolish mistake, however, was to insult both Darkesia, the delegate of Gatesville, and Gates himself. This resulted in the Gatesville Guard being deployed into the region, accompanied by the following statement by Darkesia: "I can not be responsible for injuries caused by your own gross stupidity."

Although there has been some controversy on TWP's actions, native of The West Pacific, The Faeyas, had the following to say on the matter: "I think that it was sad that Star-san and Teachal-san had such two bad people in their region that it came down to this. In the end they couldn't force the two to apologize, and they didn't mind the action, so all in all , how could I find anything wrong with it?"

After gathering influence over a week, the BSS delegate proceeded to banject the remaining natives and ordered a pull out. The nation American Woman took the delegacy after BSS and its allies pulled out, with the stated intention of rebuilding the region despite still having no founder. However, the majority of the natives had already left to form two new regions, the imaginatively named The Global Union of Nations, and The Privateer Republic, the former containing the idiots who started this whole incident, the latter containing those who made some attempt to cool the situation. As to which split off region will be more successful.....The Pacific Post invites its readers to draw their own conclusions.

Anybody want to help me build a Battle Bot? Looks like it would be fun

For the Festival of the Perfections, I share this work of another. A blast from the past. From the time of The Empire in The East Pacific, August 2008. You might recognize some names mentioned.

"The Empire" took the Delegacy of The East Pacific in dramatic fashion, with an array of interesting characters/personas. Including their Delegate, Lady Phedre. Who also served as TWP Delegate in another form....twice.

"With the recent happenings in TEP, the NationStates world has become split on the issue, with all sorts of officials either very carefully expressing their support (lest they be stoned) – others fiercely oppose…still others are having laughing fit.
In the light of this, I’d like to present to you, Our Prima Donna: Lady phedre."

Right now I'm trying to fix a dual-beam laser, but I've failed to order the correct diode. Back to the specs, and finding another supplier.
