Subaru’s Project Midnight Is a Monster. Could It Preview a Future STI? [Motortrend] I’ve been nonchalant from SUBARU for a while, but since no other car manufacturers wanted to help me with my predicament, because everybody was basically gambling over which car brand would win my vote of approval, I will gladly drive a donated SUBARU WRX STI with Sequential Paddleshifts on the steering wheel, as featured in Initial D, MF Ghost, and would love to talk to the woman who gave me the brochure at a Car Show at CAL EXPO a few years ago in Sacramento, California. PS. Gotta have a great SATNAV.

What’s up, everybody! It’s Monday, August 19, 2024. I hope you had a great weekend, and were able to enjoy the latest news thanks to my #ContentCuration. Today was the beginning of the week of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, IL. This is incredibly exciting time, and I want to thank the DNC for including a YouTube video of the full first day, without Cable News Fluffing. I can’t wait to watch everybody from that first day with ZERO COMMERCIALS (Investigation: MAFIA-OPERATING-SUPER-SYSTEM-AD-VERTISING AKA MOSSAD). It’s going to be great and it has lots of amazing speakers and keynotes. As always, big ups and shoutouts to all the protestors outside who want to see Peace in Palestinian Territories. I am working around the clock utilizing all means necessary to convince all sides of the conflicts, every major key players of the U.N. Security Council, the State Department, Quai d’Orsay, Germany, Japan, China, backchannels in Russia, to prevent more bloodsheds in Israel/Palestine. The reason being, if the conflict continues to blow out of proportion, that fanatic idiotic Netanyahu almost singlehandedly created a new global crisis and large-scale military conflict prognostic into the whole Middle East region. We were THIS close from a ceasefire in Israel/Palestine, as soon as that Hamas leader got assassinated, everything was paused, and things continue to get worst. We cannot let this go on. We need a resolution to this terrible conundrum. It has been over 74 years of bloodsheed where Palestinians died, or being subjugated to torture. I have had it. Only the number one force in the world, the U.S. Air Force, which has been in operation for over 76 years, alongside Diplomats from every nation in the fucking planet have come to a sudden realization. They are all in agreement against one single asshole, and his name is Netanyahu. Let’s get this done. I haven’t had a beer with friends in forever, and neither have you. I’m trying to play some Gran Turismo 7, and so are you. I suggest we resolve this conflict before BinladenyaminBibidiNetanyahu starts another war in Syria/Lebanon/Iran/Iraq. You’ve heard of the Military Industrial Complex, and how difficult it was to defeat this monster, don’t let this stuff start over, it’s going to be even worst horror stories for IAVA (Veterans of Afghanistan & Iraq) in 5-10-15-20 years. Don’t do it, listen to reason. I implore you, I beg of you. I politely told you all, we have bigger problems to worry about. Global Warming, aka Climate Change as you guys like to call it so it sounds less scary, almost destroyed the planet over the past recent months. In less than 20 fucking years, no more fresh water, or at least, scarcity. Since people don’t want to read books anymore, Al Gore is going to make a manga to describe his thoughts and emotions over the past 40 fucking years of him talking about that. I may be a superhero character trying to save the planet inside it. Anyway, it’ll be a great read for the next generation. Then they’ll make an Anime. Who knows. For a more, direct, explanation of the disturbing future we are facing, I suggest you play Death Stranding 1: Director’s Cut, and await Death Stranding 2 like the rest of us. Many of us are furious, and cannot wait to defeat HIGGS, the Antagonist in that game from Kojima Productions. It’s therapeutic for many of us who have dealt with trauma. We all relate to Sam Porter Bridges. PS. The COVID-19 pandemic was atrocious, and people did not get vaccinated in time. We have now have a new MONKEYPOX (racist name) pandemic possible nowadays, I suggest you get vaccinated asap. I plan on it. More comments and thoughts and analysis in the future. Thanks in advance.
