re: Does anyone else find it baffling how bad Americas image is
Posted by boxcarbarney on 7/15/26 at 10:40 am to travelgamer
A while back X changed the algorithm to where we were getting a lot of posts from Japan.
I discovered that the Japanese seriously thought the rest of the world hated them. They are taught this in school and by their media. The rest of the world supposedly hated them because they were too "Eastern" and because of the Fukushima disaster after the tsunami. There was a lot of guilt about World War 2 also.
Americans were baffled by this. Most of us respect the Japanese and their unique culture. Not sure why they would think we hated them for a disaster that was not their fault. In fact it was pretty brave how they handled the situation.
The Japanese are widely recognized as always doing the right thing even when it's difficult. Hard to think of another nation or culture that shares that reputation.
I say all this to show that it's not just a European or American phenomena. The press lies to us all and are the enemy of the people.

The Bloody 9
quote:
You can never have too many knives
“I’ve fought in three campaigns,” he began. “In seven pitched battles. In countless raids and skirmishes and desperate defences, and bloody actions of every kind. I’ve fought in the driving snow, the blasting wind, the middle of the night. I’ve been fighting all my life, one enemy or another, one friend or another. I’ve known little else. I’ve seen men killed for a word, for a look, for nothing at all. A woman tried to stab me once for killing her husband, and I threw her down a well. And that’s far from the worst of it. Life used to be cheap as dirt to me. Cheaper.
“I’ve fought ten single combats and I won them all, but I fought on the wrong side and for all the wrong reasons. I’ve been ruthless, and brutal, and a coward. I’ve stabbed men in the back, burned them, drowned them, crushed them with rocks, killed them asleep, unarmed, or running away. I’ve run away myself more than once. I’ve pissed myself with fear. I’ve begged for my life. I’ve been wounded, often, and badly, and screamed and cried like a baby whose mother took her tit away. I’ve no doubt the world would be a better place if I’d been killed years ago, but I haven’t been, and I don’t know why.”
He looked down at his hands, pink and clean on the stone. “There are few men with more blood on their hands than me. None, that I know of. The Bloody-Nine they call me, my enemies, and there’s a lot of ’em. Always more enemies, and fewer friends. Blood gets you nothing but more blood. It follows me now, always, like my shadow, and like my shadow I can never be free of it. I should never be free of it. I’ve earned it. I’ve deserved it. I’ve sought it out. Such is my punishment.”

I thought I recognized it from somewhere.
I lived in Dubai as a kid, and the only American movies we saw over there was whatever our family back home could send us on VHS. I remember watching that as a child and loving it.

I got the Honeysuckle scent.
I used the Furminator on her Saturday and sprayed her down.
I don't know how its possible for her to hold so much loose fur.
Stuff works pretty good. The scent stayed on her for a little over a day, but the stink is gone. We got rained on a little while walking, and she didn't have the overwhelming wet dog smell.

Just throw some Metamucil in there. I used to blend dry steel cut oats into my protein shakes. Either should work.

Thats the point of the probiotic stuff. Eat the smell away, don't just mask it--though the scents are pleasant and last a few days.
Cool. What scent did you get?
