Looks Can Be Deceiving

in #outofthinair3 years ago

I've been waiting for an opportune moment to share these images—patience always prevails. The other day, Pura and I were at the vitamin store and I noticed these supplements marketed toward specific eating practices. The things were expensive, too, $24.99 for 30 enzyme supplements.

Keto, vegan, and vegetarian, well played Pure Essence! There's a handful of missing eating practices but at least Pure Essence advertised three of the more popular ones. Looking at the front of these boxes, I assumed it was the capsules themselves that are different—animal product, no animal products, no sugar, something like that.

And then just this morning, @ganjafarmer and I had a conversation where I was able to share a YouTube clip with him—I've been sharing this clip with a lot of people lately (anyone with three minutes to spare). I was telling him how surprised I am more people aren't familiar with Sinclair Broadcasting Group.

They own ALL that shit ⬆️

Yesterday I was invited to a gun show here in Tennessee where gun laws are about as mild as rain in California and the three people I rode to the show with were repeating the exact.same.information I'm seeing congest the blockchain the past few days—we've all seen it. Ganjafarmer and I addressed the same catch phrases: fraud, election, recount, you know, the same shit everyone else is saying. The weird part isn't what they're saying, it's the fact they're all saying the exact.same.thing.

I sent him a link to that YouTube clip I was telling you about and he was appreciative so I'll share that clip with you. :bonus: It gave me an opportunity to run that cover image of the supplements and now I can show you the backs of those boxes—the ingredients.

See it?

Identical

I think it's easy to repeat what we see and hear when we're not paying attention to the whole picture—like the backs of those boxes. There’s more forces spinning this globe on their finger like a basketball than just the ones your internet researches steer you toward. Wether it's on this blockchain or in that car yesterday en route to the gun show, people I know both virtually and personally are saying the exact.same.thing—Verbatim.

Wait a minute...

Well it looks like you should but one of each so you can help justify their marketing agent’s job.

The news... aka the brain washers. 🤣😂 I just want to know the weather and 80% of the time that is fake news!!

Dude that was funny. Eh, when I wanna hear some noose it's weather, too, and what I'd give for 80.

It's freezing here! And that ain't fake.

We had snow... the wind came in and now we ain’t gots any... just stuck around long enough for me to work in.

Yeah I saw that pic you sent me this am, I'm still bundled up from lookin at the thing.

Not sure I'm gonna make it over here man

I have to admit... the past couple of years I've been glued to the TV because of all this crazy political crap going on. Not that I'm invested... just curious and it has led me to learning an awful lot about things outside of this world and now the noose just doesn't interest me as much as it used to. And even though we do have the "boob tube" That's what some old timers I know call it it's off more than it's on and when it is on it's on something stupid and mindless and stuff I can laugh at.

Watching that three minute video reminds me of... oh what was the name of that..... oh yes, project mockingbird... heard of it? I don’t want to get started on all of that... this would become a post instead of a comment.

I know you think I should do this on my phone @dandays but pffft my thumbs are not ready!! At least this one is a little longer than my last one.

Thanks for keeping an eye on me @bellelynn. If I had three, I'd give'em all but you're gonna have to settle for two thumbs up.

I've had quite a few people say something about how I do the majority of this with my phone. I have an iPad but I just use it for art and some trading. We don't have a computer. 🤫 Don't tell anyone. They'll think I'm a weird nerd and I got this gangster ganksta gangsta persona to maintain. Did I spLeL it right?

It's cool, I'll let your novice character count slide while your keyboard gets its nails did.

Operation Mockingbird. I won't get you started if you don't get me started.
Sounds like a Rolling Stones song

Ain't "Noose" great?! Don't go googling (weird, I guess googling's a word, my phone didn't correct it) 'Boob Tube.' I'm not certain what you'll find but I have a feeling it won't be entirely what you thought.

Don't be a stranger.

Don't worry @dandays... I'm sure there will be times when you don't see me for a while but then there will be times when you'll wish I just went away already.... regardless I'm here for the long haul, I still have a lot of story left to tell... I'm not going anywhere.

You know, I didn't think about googling "Boob Tube" until you told me not to google it. I think you were really trying to subliminally tell me to google it. But of course I know better. My brain probably couldn't handle the images that would pop up. Can you imagine? I'm really trying to resist... thanks a lot Dandays! Why???

I love "noose" and am stealing it! It's so fitting for what's going on. And since this election I really think they're hanging themselves. People are waking up to what their agenda is all about.

And hey, if you wanna go down the road with Operation Mockingbird or any of the other "Operations" I've learned about this past two years, I'm game. I would actually love to know your thoughts. I mean, we seem to have some type of "chemistry" not sure if this is the right word or not so of course I would be intrigued to know what you know and your take on all of it.

Are you telling me you're not a weird nerd? I thought that may have been something we had in common. I have learned recently that if you have a "freak flag", let that shit fly proudly. I'm a weird nerd, who loves old black and white horror, all things dark and wicked, is scared of spiders and truly wants to be a professional pot smoking hippie, who believes our creator is an alien and looks to the sky at night wishing I could fly to the stars... I'm tattooed, curse like a sailor and think like a man... most of the time. And yes I am proud.. be proud of your weird nerdiness Dandays... it makes you unique and not a stiff. And you can still embrace that while maintaining your gangsta?ness? I don't think it matters if its misspelled.

And you don't have to thank me... as I repeat myself... it's truly been my pleasure!

I missed it by one, dammit! I marked down that you were scared of snakes. Knew I should've checked spiders.

Yeah, I uh.. well, there's no way I can match that response other than that virtual weight you just felt in your pocket was me--your comment is easily valued at $61.33. See you on the other one.

Noooooo... please don't tell me that I've rendered the character count wizard speechless!!!

And yes it's definitely the creepy eight legged things that give me the heebee geebees. My son makes fun of me sometimes because I call him to come get the big bad spider and to him the thing is tiny but I swear it's as big as the furball.

I'm rather fond of snakes and wouldn't mind being ones human caretaker one day. One of the big pretty ones.

And thank you for those very humbling words @dandays ... I was hoping that i wasn't sharing too much by giving you a peek into who I am.

Truth. And I'm glad I don't watch Sinclair Group TV! 😁

We haven't owned a TV for about three years now, I'm really making an effort @melinda010100. It's the damn TV's in the gym though.. get me every time!

I've been known to leave public places that have TV news blaring, and I always tell them why I am walking out.

I call it Noose. Go ahead, you can use that one. 😉

Indeed! Good one!
I do have a TV and turn it on to watch the F1 race with my guys. We can't be together, but we can watch an event together on TV and send texts back and forth and stay connected that way! Being in Wisconsin we can all 'get together' for the Packer game.
And I do watch a show on PBS or Netflix now and then when I am between books.

Fair enough. When we were out there traveling, a lot of the Air B&B's we'd stay in had TV's--most of them actually. Oh man.. Pura and I got all kinda hooked on a Netflix show called This Is Us.

I LOVE that show and have actually paid to get the full seasons as soon as they come out. In the newest epidode The 3 are celebrating their 40th birthday. Such great characters.

!BEER
for you

You're the best @eii.

Yay!

Thanks for keeping an eye on me @ecency.

How were the selections at the show? Plentiful or sparse...? Were prices bumped up?

Oh dude. Typically I wouldn't start like that, I'd say something like 'well if it isn't my favorite happy guy!'

But oh dude.. I've been to a few shows in Vegas and that should lead the race as far as open arms. Nah.. a gun show in Tennessee makes the Vegas show look like a grocery store.

Weapons and accessories were pretty reasonable. My buddy ended up getting a custom AR-10 with 5 magazines for $600 I think. Maybe it was $640. I wasn't really shopping but I found a good deal on a S&W hammer-less 32--$285.

Ammo, though, fuuuuuccckkk! Wait, bigger than that, FUUUUCCCCKKK! Anything under .40 was about a buck 25 a piece I think and 5.62's were something crazy like $5/piece. Nobody had 9mm rounds for sale and the 50 cal's, ready? Wait for it.. wait for it..

$25/each!

Not lookin so good...is it...???

It's lookin so something.
Just not sure what
