    I'll bet this was the same Licorice Pizza in Long Beach where @fsudog21 met his future wife ....

    For the record.... Licorice Pizza isn't a euphemism. It was a record store. And I cast no aspersions against the nice lady.

    Just clarifying.

    another giant taken down
    way more 'nephews' and others with giant genealogies
    descendants from giants of industry who built our world in the generation before ours
    nephilim

    beware of "alphas" talking about"betas" as that is how wolves socialize in their sadomasochistic homo erotic family dynamic
    the mark of the beast is not some fantasy like dungeons and dragons or some science fiction like neurolink although that is exactly how a person with the mark will act and think

    its being like a wolf in sheeps clothing for instance

    the bible has a bunch of stories
    but its mostly the same story over and over again
    just told with different analogies
    because god is kind and loving
    and gives every kind of learner a chance at getting it

    but if you ever catch yourself around people talking about alpha this and beta that you are in a pack of wolves
    and in a pack of wolves only one predator can be the alpha, and all the non alphas are his bitch
    behind every man pretending to be an alpha is actually a beta conman working for a wild she-wolf behind the curtain
    a true jezebel that loves money
    like oprah

    lol amway
    used to have a girlfriend who worked for mary kay
    for months and months she begged me to go to one their meetings with her
    eventually i relented
    she introduced me to a bunch of the hags and we sat down at a table
    i was cool until they started trying to sell me on their snake oil and convince me to go to one of their seminars
    jokingly i said, “what do you guys do, huddle together and chant… clinique sucks, clinique sucks?…”
    i thought it was pretty funny, but only my girlfriend laughed
    i was going to follow-up with a scientology jab but i figured i’d done enough damage
    the gf was pretty cool about it though, and we’d often chant “clinique sucks” whenever the opportunity arose
    not sure what my point is, other than its cold as fuck here (currently 19) and the liquor is wayyyy overpriced

    that's interesting but not exactly surprising
    I read rich dad when it first came out and still think it has some excellent lessons in cash flow even if it came from a bs amway salesman
    then again I've always subscribed to live and learn it from fools and from sages
    probably started in earnest when my brother insisted on my attending an EST seminar in the late 70s for a place to live at 17
    ever since then a pyramid scheme or mlm scam has burned brighter than the brightest light when I come across them
    I mean after all we're surrounded by them in every facet of life and have no choice when it comes to things like SSN etc
    still I think you can find some truth in how it hardens you to what you need to do as an individual because you find what works for you
    I remember that period around 07 very well because it was like a zombie apocalypse w all the mlm shit coming at me from everywhere
    suddenly my sister, my neighbor, my friend and the guy at am/pm was telling me how to change my financial future I needed to listen to them
    it was seriously one of the more bizarre episodes in my personal history cause at that point I already had a pretty good idea of what I was doing
    and handing over hard earned bones to other people to magically multiply my own wasn't realistic
    I knew it took time and a shrewd business sense but not at the expense of my integrity as a human being
    other than that first book I never bought into the continued saga and additional books and seminars he or Werner Erhard were selling
    guess Robert gets to live w his legacy as a fraud and charlatan sucks for him no matter how much money he hoarded
    oh and fuck amway...and fuller brush too!

    Hey man, lighten up on the wolf analogies , Rube. They're not evil because of their pack behaviour...everything they do...everything... is for the good of their pack and the survival of it.
    This fucking self absorbed greed is the opposite of lupine pack behaviour.
    Beware the full moon...

    TOWER RECORDS!!! And I thought we were friends...

    My uncle lived in LB so when we'd go BBQ at his place, we'd go to the original LP there. My brother loved that place. He bought me a Foghat album there. Probably still have it.

    true enough
    but then neither are snakes evil
    i lived behind the pines 22 years
    context is important
    and we telling stories here
    we also not talking about animals
    but humans
    and while its cute when we see humanity in an animal
    its not when we see animal instincts in humans
    although in our society it is regarded as a plus
    for a while...

    now good ol moses put a snake of molten metal and said look at it to be saved
    what do you think happened to those who were sticklers for the facts
    i know this is not what you were getting at and i understand you are sticking up for the animals
    i love animals too but i think using literalism and facts really screws with the whole understanding part of things
    but follow me here a little bit...
    what about the guys who said to moses "bu..but... but i thought satan was the snake?"
    "and what about idol worship, didnt we just get in trouble for looking up at idols for salvation?"
    "i thought the snake was the bad guy how can you say looking at the snake will save?"
    "why is moses doing this to us, this is so confusing, we were better off in egypts servers"

    those guys woulda died in the desert like the rest of the people who dont follow the story
    they woulda been right though, technically, factually, and literally
    luckily for us some of them hebrews got the message
    and they finally stopped being slaves to legalism, literalism, tradition and every single fact they learned in slave school
    but there are plenty of theologians and teachers focusing on the facts and the doctrines and dogmas that other men created to keep everyone spiritually dead and in need of constant mouth to mouth from their preacher

    but when their preacher is gone they dont know what to do when a big bad snake shows up
    they are as useless as a deer trapped in headlights who cant see the light or hear the horn
    snakes and rats and wolves and sharks are people who will never see the light
    even if right now they are riding high on the horse like giants
    that time never lasts for too long

    i know i write a long ass post but thats because writing is my big stick
    the deer has a shepherd carrying a big stick to protect her from the snake
    you can forgive her for being paralyzed by fear and not running away
    she has grown up knowing the shepherd will always have her back

    but the wolves and the rats and the sharks and the snakes got nobody
    they were created to be vessels of wrath
    and nobody is coming to save them
    because they are evil predators that have no place in the world to come
    except the ones who learn to play nice with those i hold dear to my hart

    Agree...snakes are not evil...used to have a few, but got drafted and had to give them away before I left.
    Another poor animal mistreated and reviled for thousands of years because it's written so in a fairy tale.

    yup but nobody is going to write a post about the treatment of the sheep
    i think theres the name of a modern day fairy movie somewhere in there
    and that theres a reason why people dont speak up about the treatment of sheep
    their meat tastes so dang good they dont want to know about how the sausage is made
    but yeah... poor snake
    it gets a bad rap by the carnally minded
