Here are some guidance for parents and video-games. Growing up, the game-system was hidden until all homework was completed, then the Playstation magically reappeared Friday late-afternoon. Sunday evening, it would magically disappear again, until the next weekend.

There are video-games for kids, and video-games for adults. If your child is four year-old, obviously you aren’t going to let him play GTA, maybe he or she can go play Mario or Sonic.

The video below is in French! If you don’t speak it, it’s a great time to learn!

This is a very important blogpost update, so please listen carefully.

It has come to my attention that not enough people are understanding the gravity of the situation with the COVID-19 virus. As a result, I will explain it to you using an analogy that will make sense. In Dragon Ball Z, Trunks came from the future reminding that Goku will fall ill, unless he takes a special medication (which was created by his mother Bulma’s Capsule Corporation). He says that in the future, the disease is treatable, but currently, it is not. This is what happened in 2020. We did not have a COVID-19 vaccine until Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson worked their asses off to get one. And now, 99% of people who died from COVID-19 were NOT vaccinated. Please get vaccinated. It really makes a difference. COVID-19 can cause organ failure. Don’t take the risk.

I have been asked by the Military if the WHO could rename the Delta variant of COVID-19 to a new name. It is not good for Troop morale. Thanks in advance. Although, there might be a reason why it’s named Delta…

Until next time!

As always, I have a ton of work to do and I just want to play Gran Turismo, but it’s time to take a step back once in a while and relax. Also, due to broken promises from Intel Corporation recruiters (they did this more than 10 times in the past 3 years, asked me to sign paperwork (for Right-To-Represent), and it didn’t materialize into a job with a paycheck), I am supporting AMD as a result, and as it stands, I plan to purchase AMD CPU or GPU in the future. It’s one thing to insult a man after one day. Insulting a man after 1,200 days without a paycheck is another. Also, I suggest Intel Corporation stop their fake “Microprocessing-chip crisis.” Or maybe we should all switch to Microsoft’s Arm-based chips or Apple’s M1, M1X, and M2 chips? You catch my drift. Thanks in advance. Google is going to make chips too so, y’all better just get back to manufacturing.

The War in Afghanistan is hopefully coming to an end. As you know, from reading Nafeez Ahmed’s books on the war on terror: (“The War on Freedom” and “The War on Truth”), it was an incredibly long and difficult journey to combat the “Military-Industrial-Complex.” Only Bernie Sanders had the audacity to say something against this during the previous Presidential Elections. Finally, President Joe Biden came to his senses and realized, no more, it’s time to bring the troops home. Alas, what about the turmoil in the aftermath? CIA is already worried about a potential Civil War. What will happen? What about the women, children, and the youth of Afghanistan? What about the Translators who helped the U.S. Military, will they receive refuge fast? There are so many questions. Will Private-Military-Contractors (PMCs) continue the fight? We are fighting a multi-trillion-dollar industry. Hopefully, the threat of Nuclear Deterrence will remind the Taliban that any attempt to return Afghanistan to life in the late 90s, where women can’t go to school and music is banned, must be threatened by the U.S. Air Force who can see everything from the Sky.

Please get vaccinated if you haven’t already. 99% of people who died from COVID-19 were not vaccinated. You do the math.

Top Gun 2 has been delayed to November 2021.

As the Republicans try to twist the truth, please remember this: “TRUMP LIED, PEOPLE DIED.” As they continue their voter suppression campaign throughout our nation, remember that they are doing this to prevent black people from voting, because they know black people vote democrat. I’ve made the FBI, ATF, and local PD well aware…the KKK is still alive, and it must be dealt with. We will not let White Supremacists interfere with our Midterm Elections in 2022. Thanks in advance. Get vaccinated if you haven’t already.

Until next time!

As I’m eating my sunflower seeds, I’d like to thank everybody who skipped fireworks this year. You have contributed to California having less fires around its state. Thank you very much. It was imperative that Firefighters do not have to deal with this shit, because they are working very hard. We did it. We survived May, and June. It’s now July. We need to stay vigilant over July and August and pray for rain, which probably won’t come until September, but we can stay hopeful. I want to thank all various Firefighter Chiefs for making sure many country roads who had trees within powerlines have been cut down. You have prevented sparks that could start fires. Good job.

Until next time!
