While Cryptocurrency did crash recently, I implore you to remember these specific rules. You should only invest disposable income, and not your life savings. I’ve used similar language in the past if you have paid attention. If you have an extra $50, you invest that much. You don’t invest your entire kid’s college tuition fund. That’s just common sense. Anyway, I hope you do not have a short term memory. The facts remain the same: Intel Corporation is coming with a BITCOIN MINING CHIP. That is real, it’s actually happening. What does that mean? That means that AMD will make one as well in due time. Therefore, don’t be afraid of all the old geezers from CNBC / Bloomberg. Do you really think the world is going to give a shit about the price of gold in 20 years? Or will it care more about the price of BTC and other Cryptocurrency? I mean seriously. Have a debate amongst yourselves. Do you REALLY think that GOLD will be more important in 20 years, or BTC and other Cryptocurrency? There’s your answer.

In case you are curious about my thoughts on Abortion, I think that’s a debate strictly for women. If you had to ask me, I’d say, as long as you’re on contraception, and using condoms, and you have an accident, and you want an abortion, that’s your body, your choice. But, if you’re not using contraception, you’re not using condoms, and you just want abortions left and right, please do not talk to me (obviously there are exceptions in case of rape or incest, or if the woman’s life is in danger).

Until Next Time!

So for those of you who are into Manga, Anime and Video-Games, I need your help. I was trying to order a copy of “Full Metal Panic: Who Dares Wins!” for PS4, but they sent me the copy without English Subtitles even though I specifically asked for. This game is only available in physical copy from Japan. It’s currently sold out and out of print. Thank you for your help.

While everybody is focused on Ukraine, the IPCC is reminding everybody that the risks of Climate Change are getting worse and worse. Please pay attention. Please listen to Al Gore and John Kerry.

I am very proud of Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III having a phone call with Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoygu recently in which he urged an immediate end to the conflict in Ukraine and emphasized the importance of maintaining lines of communication. NATO is united with Ukraine. The situation must de-escalate for the sake of humanity. Let us all read the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists website. I am not trying to sound like a Womanizer, but honestly, I think that if Putin found the love of a good woman, he probably would quit his attempt to destabilize Global Security. Therefore, I implore all Russian Diplomats to find Mr. Putin a stable girlfriend as soon as possible. I mean it sounds crazy but, when is the last time that Mr. Putin had a hug? Let’s use calm demeanor.

Until Next Time!

Allergies season is in full swing, so make sure you use the right medication for that. All this pollen in the air is making me sneeze! Now, for those of you freaking out if you can’t tell if it’s a cold, the FLU, or COVID-19, the best way is to make sure that you got your FLU shot, and your COVID-19 vaccine and subsequent Booster shot. In addition, if you are in large gatherings, it might be best to wear a mask just to be safe. For small gatherings, you should be okay, but if you are somewhere where there are hundreds of people, you might get sick without a mask on. Here is a conversation from Dr. Anthony Fauci on The Economist in full length. If we had 1 million deaths in America from COVID-19, not having Fauci would have meant more than 10 million dead. He has a very hard job. Listen to what he has to say.

I just heard that LeBron James hopes to keep playing Basketball until he can play with his son. That’s an amazing story because I have heard that Cristiano Ronaldo hopes to do the same thing at Manchester United. The ability to play sports with your Dad is a feeling you will always cherish as a son. I remember kicking the ball around with my Dad growing up. This just reminds me how excited I am for the 2026 World Cup which will be in Canada/America/Mexico. To watch Football (soccer) with fellow supporters, no matter what country you support, will be just a wonderful feeling. Millions of fans around the world cannot wait.

Putin has lost his fucking mind, and President Biden will have no choice but utilize not just his power, the power of the military, the power of diplomacy, the power of the Intelligence Community, the power of NATO and its allies, but understand that it is time to bring White Hats, Black Hats, and Grey Hats around the world to fight Russia without suffering repercussions.

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 521 & BENKYO RADIO 521.

Now, this is a very special episode, because 5/21 is my birthday! If you’re wondering how I have done all my hard work, I utilized an MBP for years before upgrading to a Razer Blade laptop. They are both great machines and as much as I like the mechanical keyboard on Razer, sometimes I’d like to switch to Mac OS to focus on writing & music podcasts since on Razer, you have access to Steam and millions of games. Alas, I still need Windows because I use Microsoft Project Manager, and when you have over 1,500 podcasts, you need MS Project to describe the #TheoryOfEverything that I have been working on. This journey all started many years ago, and I am forever thankful to those who remembered my birthday. I told myself that after someone very dear to me forgot my birthday and put me in a deep depression, I would help others like me, so that they wouldn’t feel alone. That’s why Great Teacher Onizuka manga is on my bookclub. As you can see, the Metaverse is being built! Both Playstation and Microsoft are working on one (and rumors of a metaverse from Valve Software), that’s why I assured you that we won’t have to be stuck into Facebook’s Metaverse.

While I continue to work nights on my various projects, I am still looking for a day job, and ideally, I would like to work at SAP. I am open to other companies and agencies. I have a profile on The Ladders job board, and I am active on LinkedIn as well. I am about 1-3 months away from receiving legal disability protection from the government for my Mental Health, making it illegal by law for companies to discriminate when I apply for work, despite over 5-10 years of experience in the industry.

The reason why ACA isn’t as strong as #MedicareForAll is quite simple. Medical costs are astronomical. So yes, I respect and answer to Obama and Biden, but I’m with Bernie Sanders and AOC on this one.

I have been stable with Bipolar disorder for the past 10+ years. A monthly therapist appointment costs about $200. You multiply that by 12 months, then 10 years. That’s over $20,000 fucking dollars. So when Republicans make fun of Millennials for a $5 cup of coffee and avocado toast, it’s bullshit. The “feel-good” sensation I had between 2017-2020 sitting at my favorite Coffee Shop, was a lot less expensive than (but-still needed) therapy. I got to socialize, read books, work on my blog, etc etc. A Coffee Shop is a sanctuary. It’s like a #Selfcare day. You can either talk amongst others, or you can work on your own thing. Co-Op places are amazing too, but not everybody can afford $100+ monthly membership fees.

I really like United States of Al, and especially the relationship between Al and his veteran best friend, who deals with insomnia.

Now that I have seen the entire season of Severance on Apple+, I can now watch The Shrink Next Door.

I’m not sure what I am doing for my birthday this year. I may bust out my DDJ-400 turntables, we will see. There are so many things I want to do, not just music, and writing, but also as always: Peace and Stability in the World.

Congratulations to all the winners at WeatherTech Laguna Seca! My car needed new brakes so unfortunately I missed out on visiting that weekend.

I watched the first episode of HALO and I was incredibly impressed. I am still waiting on news from the Transformers 7 director for a new trailer, as I have warned him that the Skyline GT-R is not a Decepticon, but an Autobot. Millions of Racers around the entire globe agree.

Very excited that Formula 1 on Netflix will have a Season 5 and 6 confirmed, maybe Max Verstappen will return to the show, you never know.

I had to uninstall Mass Effect: Legendary Edition from PS4 since it took too much space, but I have reinstalled it for the PC on Steam, and I am looking forward to the long adventure.

I have finished FF7 Remake, therefore now I can revisit FF XV and experience the entire story and DLCs.

Cyberpunk 2077 is still a wonderful game, but always seem to have controller support issues on Steam.

Death Stranding: Director’s Cut is a great game for Mental Health.

I understand that EIDOS MONTREAL has a new buyer. Does that mean a new Adam Jensen Deus Ex in a few years? Fans around the globe cannot wait.

This video below is how Madeon got famous. He was using samples from 39 popular songs, mixed using software FL Studio utilizing a Novation Launchpad midi controller.

Also, I wanted to refrain from mentioning this, but Israel kept shooting more and more Palestinians, and a homeless retired Firefighter begged me to share the WTC7 documentary trailer, so here you go. Bibidi Netanyahu lost his job, now hopefully he will go to jail for his war crimes.

I am extremely excited by more and more entities taking part in Unionizing. This is important because millions of Americans are asked to work for terrible wages (sometimes no wages) and don’t have someone who can protect them. That’s why they need to unionize to get better wages.

The new Swedish House Mafia album is out, and it is very good.
