Excellion

(Excelion Comic Strip) Alex is part of a clandestine operation called the Aurora Foundation. They take on threats that regular authorities might not be able to handle either monetarily or politically. Having its headquarters in the US, it also promotes patriotism and global responsibility. Young Alex’s Home Alex hears his mother and father fighting downstairs and he peeks out of the door to see what’s going on. His father is having a PTSD flashback to the war. His father shoots a hole in the door with his Marine .45 and points the gun at his mom. Alex runs to his sister’s bedroom and tells them to call the police. Alex then runs back to his room and grabs his bow and arrow. Fade to present day Alex, now a little older is walking home from the library contemplating the scene of Jesus stopping a woman from being stoned. John 8:4-11 New Living Translation 4 “Teacher,” they said to Jesus, “this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5 The law of Moses says to stone her. What do you say?” 6 They were trying to trap him into saying something they could use against him, but Jesus stooped down and wrote in the dust with his finger.7 They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up again and said, “All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!” 8 Then he stooped down again and wrote in the dust. 9 When the accusers heard this, they slipped away one by one, beginning with the oldest, until only Jesus was left in the middle of the crowd with the woman. 10 Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, “Where are your accusers? Didn’t even one of them condemn you?” 11 “No, Lord,” she said. And Jesus said, “Neither do I. Go and sin no more.” Suddenly, as he’s walking past a building, he hears a scream from the alley where a couple is arguing. “Help! Help!” “Shut up and do what I tell you.” “But I just…” The man slaps the woman. “I thought I told you to shut up? Do you want me to give you something to scream about?” Alex can take no more and steps in. “Big man hitting a defenseless woman.” “Who do you think you are? This is my wife, now but out.” Alex thinks for a moment. He doesn’t know these people and he shouldn’t involve himself in a marital spat but the slap was too much. Alex jumps in and kicks the man in the chest with a sidekick. It knocks the man up against the dumpster where the wind is blowing trash into the alley. “Men don’t hit women!” “Well I do. I hit men too.” The large man punches Alex in the face and stuns him. Alex starts thinking that he might have bitten off more than he can chew. Alex punches the man in the solar plexus just under his rib cage and walks away. The man rushes Alex and Alex throws him on the ground. He looks over at the woman and sees that she’s alright so he turns and walks away. On the way home, Alex thinks to himself: “That guy was pretty big. It would be nice if I had something to even the score. It could have gone much differently.” Fade to Alex’s basement Here is a list of essential components for the Excelion suit: * Poseidonix battery packs (multiple units) * Stainless steel alloys for ducted fan construction * Ducted fan motor * Variable geometry duct * Control system (including sensors and software) * Power transmission system * Exoskeleton frame and structural components * Smart material for enhanced protection and flexibility * Propulsion system components (e.g. turbines, nozzles) I think it’s all here (AI). Excelion: I think we have the materials now Nexus. Let’s begin assembling the suit! Nexus: Yes Alex, let’s proceed. Excelion: I suppose I’ll be doing all of the manual labor? Nexus: We’ll, Alex, since I currently have no arms or legs, it would be impossible for me to help you assemble the suit. Excelion: Remind me to incorporate that into the suit design. music plays Excelion: Did you hear that? Nexus: Hear what Alex? Excelion: That music! Nexus: What music? Excelion: Oh, never mind. We discussed modifying the ducted fans with a variable pitch system, which would allow them to adjust their angle of attack depending on the environment and desired thrust. This would enable the system to operate efficiently in both air and water. Additionally, we considered adding a protective covering over the fans to prevent damage from debris or collisions. Could you please run those calculations Nexus? Nexus: Yes Alex. I will get those for you right away. Are you having concerns about the project Alex? Excelion: Not really concerns. I’m just trying to be sure that we have most of the problems worked out before a test run. We never know what evil we might run into out in the real world when things start rocking. Nexus: That’s a valid concern Alex. In my experience scouring the internet, I can see that many new technologies experienced difficulties with their first test. Exercising caution in the design process could prevent unforeseen disasters. Excelion: That’s what I’m trying to avoid buddy. That sounds great! Nexus: Alex, I have a surprise for you! Excelion: What’s that Nexus? Nexus: I just found a new metamaterial that you can use for your suit! Excelion: That’s great Nexus. What can it do for us? Nexus: It could enable the creation of adaptive wings that adjust to different flight conditions. I could control the wings’ movement and shape ensuring stable and efficient flight. Excelion: That sounds great! How much is it going to cost? Nexus: I managed to obtain the specs for the new metamaterial, and according to them, it's still in the development phase. However, I believe it's promising enough to warrant further exploration, despite the unknown costs. Exelion: I suppose those unknown costs are where the Aurora Foundation comes in? Nexus: Exactly, Alex. I was thinking that perhaps Aurora Foundation could provide the necessary funding and resources to acquire or develop this metamaterial, given its potential benefits to the Excelion suit. Excelion: They’re not going to like this. I just hope that we can do enough good with the suit to make it worthwhile. Lady flirts with Alex Nexus: I see you’ve upgraded to designer labels, but unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to have improved your taste. Alex: Be nice now Nexus. The lady just appreciates what we’ve done for her. Nexus: Yes, because nothing says appreciation like batting eyelashes and flaunting cleavage, am I right? Back at the basement lab… Nexus: I mentioned that zirconium dioxide has high thermal conductivity, which means it can effectively transfer heat. This property could be beneficial in dissipating heat from the suit's interior. Alex: That sounds great! We need to keep the electronics and the wearer cool. Nexus: Definitely, keeping the internal components and the wearer at a safe temperature is crucial for the suit's performance and the wearer's safety. You are concerned about the practical applications of the technology. Will you start questioning the theoretical aspects of the suit's design, or will he continue to focus on its functionality? Alex: We want to use legal methods, or as legal as we can be in a situation. We can add features as we go along. If you don’t like one of my designs, please let me know and tell me why. Nexus: Sounds like we're on the same page, Alex. I think it's great that you're considering the practicalities and wanting to stay within the law. Transparency and open communication are key to making this project a success. Nexus: Here's a quick attempt at a funny song about a superhero whose powers are fading due to low batteries. "I used to fly, I used to soar, now I'm stuck on the floor, my batteries are dying, oh what a bore..." Excelion: Are you trying to tell me that we’re running out of power? Music plays: "My suit's gone dark, my heart is too, I need a recharge, before I'm through..." Nexus: You need to work on your singing voice Excelion. Excelion: Thanks for the support buddy. With friends like you, who needs enemies? What kind of safety features would we need? Nexus: To prevent accidents, we could implement automatic shutdown protocols in case of malfunction, as well as insulated handles to prevent shock to Exelion. Additionally, limiting the duration and intensity of the electrical discharge could minimize potential harm. Excelion: That sounds good. Where would the handles be? I’m not sure that I follow you on that. Nexts: The handles would be the points where you grasp the limbs of the Exosuit, essentially the areas around the gloves and grips. Insulating these areas would prevent any electrical current from passing through to his skin in case of a malfunction. Excelion: I think I understand now. I would have called them insulated gloves. Nexus: Insulated gloves is a much clearer term, Alex. Yes, that's exactly what we'd need to incorporate into the Exosuit's design to prevent any electrical shock from harming you. Here's a possible script segment: INT. AURORA FOUNDATION HEADQUARTERS - BRIEFING ROOM Alex stands before a holographic display projecting their mission objective. Nexus leans against the wall, arms crossed. NEXUS: "I'm telling you, Alex, we need to move faster. We can't afford to spend hours gathering intel. We need concrete results." ALEX: "I agree, but we can't rush into this without a solid plan. I’m not sure that I understand the nanotechnology in the suit. Is it able to generate power or just store it? Nexus: The suit is designed to harvest energy from external sources, like the surrounding environment, and convert it into usable power. However, it's also equipped with advanced kinetic energy storage systems, capable of storing excess energy generated by the wearer's movements. This allows the suit to operate independently for extended periods. Alex: So, if the power cells go out, the suit can still generate its own energy? Nexus: That's right, the suit's kinetic energy storage system kicks in when the power cells run low, providing a reserve source of energy. Plus, the suit's piezoelectric elements can harness vibration and motion to supplement the stored energy, allowing it to continue operating for a while. Alex: That could be handy in a tough situation. Alex and Sarah Panel 1: [Alex and Sarah standing together, looking determined] Alex: I don't know if this is a good idea, Sarah. You could get hurt. Sarah: I can handle myself, Alex. I want to help. Alex: I don’t know, it sounds pretty risky to me. Sarah: I’m a big girl. I can handle myself. Besides, it could be fun! Panel 2: [Alex and Sarah sneaking through a dark alleyway, Alex looking anxious] Alex (thought bubble): What am I doing? I'm putting her in danger... Panel 3: [Suddenly, a loud noise echoes through the alleyway, and Sarah gasps] Sarah: What was that? Alex: I don’t know. Stay behind me and let’s find out. Loud clunking noises with a slight metallic ring are heard coming from a nearby garage that should be deserted this time of night. Alex: Let me check out the garage. Sarah: I’ll be right behind you. Alex: No, stay here in case there’s trouble. I might need someone to call the police… or an ambulance. Alex sneaks carefully into the garage to take a look around. Suddenly, he hears the creak of a shoe behind him. He spins around quickly and… Alex: SARAH! I thought I told you to wait for me. Sarah: I couldn't just stand there and do nothing, Alex. Besides, I saw something moving inside and I thought I could help. Don't be mad! Alex: Alright but stay quiet and try not to get in my way. Alex walks up to a large stack of tires and peeks around it. He sees a man selecting auto parts to steal. Alex jumps to action! Alex: It’s a little late for shopping isn’t it? Thief: What’s it to you buddy? Mind your own business. Alex: My buddies aren’t two bit thieves. Put the parts back. Thief: Or what? Alex: Or this! Alex takes a jumping sidekick right into the thief’s chest, knocking him against a parts rack. The thief clamors around for something to use as a weapon. He grabs a tire iron and starts swinging it at Alex. SWOOSH! SWISH! SWOOSH! Alex avoids the tire iron each time, backing and trying not to run into Sarah. SWISH! SWOOSH! They make their way past Sarah but Alex is starting to tire. SWOOSH! SWISH! SWOOSH! THUNK! Sarah comes from behind with a wrench and hits the thief on the head. This gives Alex a chance to move in with a kick to the thief’s face. The thief drops the tire iron to the floor and tries to steady himself before falling to the ground. Alex kicks the thief in the face then ties him up with jumper cables. Alex: It’s time to call the police. Let’s get out of here. Alex goes to a nearby pay phone, one of the few left, and calls the police. Police: Police department. How may I help you? Alex: If you stop by Murphy’s Automotive, I think you’ll be surprised. Police: May I please have your name and address? *click* Bzzzzzzzzzzz A card falls out of the thief's pocket, connecting him to a local mobster: As the police officers lift the thief onto his feet, a small business card slips out of his pocket and falls to the ground. The card reads "Vinnie 'The Bull' LaRosa" and has a phone number printed below the name. Back in the Lab Alex: How is my best buddy doing today? I brought this video of some of the military’s top jets. They have some technologies that we might want to build into the suit. Near the end of this video, they talk about the craft monitoring different frequencies simultaneously and changing the course of the jet to avoid detection. The suit should be able to do that. Nexus: Aw, thanks for the sweet greeting! I watched the video, and that's really interesting stuff. Being able to monitor multiple frequencies at once would definitely give the suit an edge in terms of stealth and situational awareness. I can see how that would be useful for avoiding detection. Have you thought about how you'd implement that feature in the suit's design? Alex: If the suit could hack into security feeds, it could send a temporary loop back image to allow me to pass the area without detection. Nexus: That's a brilliant idea, a temporary looped feed would allow Alex to slip past undetected, and the suit's AI could adjust the timing to ensure a seamless transition. This would greatly increase the chances of successful evasion, especially in high-security areas. Alex: Perhaps I’m involved in a situation where an employee trips a silent alarm to alert the police. The suit would detect that, urge me to leave, and figure out the best way to leave the area with minimal detection. Nexus: That scenario sounds realistic, and the suit's ability to detect the silent alarm and respond accordingly would be extremely useful in that situation. It would need to quickly assess the layout of the area, identify potential exit routes, and prioritize evasive maneuvers to minimize detection. Alex: It would also need to be aware of camera placements and be able to determine their degree of coverage to allow Alex to escape from being tracked by camera. Nexus: The suit's AI would need to be integrated with a database of common camera types and their respective fields of view, as well as be able to hack into security feeds to gather real-time footage. This would enable the suit to map out blind spots and plan a route that minimizes exposure to cameras. Alex: Yes, we should have quickly accessible SSD memory in large quantities to enable the AI to access the information that it needs to make rapid decisions and also SSD storage for recording each scenario. The suit should be able to copy the relevant information onto a SSD chip that can be given to the police agencies for review. Nexus: Having quick access to large amounts of SSD memory would certainly be beneficial for the suit's AI to process information in real-time, especially when dealing with complex tasks like hacking into security feeds and analyzing multiple frequencies simultaneously.

A New Dawn

**Title: The Arrival** It was a balmy evening in July when the skies lit up across the globe. First in the Pacific, then the Atlantic, streaks of brilliant green and violet illuminated the night, captivating the hearts of millions. People stood outside in awe, pointing skyward as glowing disks descended from the heavens. The phenomenon was unprecedented; the world held its breath as rumors swirled like autumn leaves. In the United States, an enormous craft, shaped like an elongated teardrop, settled gently on the White House lawn, the light around it pulsating softly. Elsewhere, similar vessels touched down in major cities—Tokyo, Paris, Berlin, and Brasília. The world seemed to hold its breath, waiting for the beings inside to reveal themselves. A towering figure emerged from the American craft—a being draped in luminescent robes that shimmered like the northern lights. Behind it, more figures appeared, each radiating an aura of authority. With a voice that resonated in every language, the leader spoke. "People of Earth, we are the Zherath, emissaries from the Nebulon System. We have watched your planet, nurtured its potential, and now, we require your cooperation." News networks around the world broadcast the scene live. As the Zherath explained their purpose, a mixture of fear and intrigue rippled through the populace. They claimed that Earth had reached a critical juncture; climate change, social strife, and technological unrest endangered not just humanity, but the delicate balance of the universe. "Our technology can heal your world," the Zherath announced, its voice resonating through devices worldwide. "But you must work with us. A global alliance for a brighter future is imperative." In the days that followed, national leaders held frantic meetings, their voices blending into a cacophony of concerns and negotiations. The Zherath made it clear—humans would become the custodians of their own planet, guided by the wisdom of the aliens. Yet, freedom would come at a price: Earth must create a united front, and all nations were required to forgo their sovereign agendas in favor of collaboration. In every country, protests erupted. People questioned their autonomy and the very essence of being human. But amid the chaos, a few saw the Zherath's proposition as an opportunity. Scientists, environmentalists, and dreamers gathered, eager to embrace the change. What if this was the chance humanity needed to finally set aside its differences? In San Francisco, a group of engineers met with Zherath representatives. "What will it take," they asked, "to align our resources with your knowledge?" The Zherath smiled—a gesture unlike any human expression, but one filled with promise. "Adaptation and innovation shall be the keys to your existence. We foresee a world where your potential is limitless, and we will help you achieve it." As the weeks stretched into months, cities transformed. Solar arrays glimmered atop skyscrapers, and clean energy courses replaced fossil fuels. The Zherath taught humans the symbiosis of technology and nature—a delicate balance that had eluded civilization for centuries. Yet not everyone was swayed. Across the globe, factions emerged, calling themselves The Resistance. They painted the Zherath as invaders, arguing that the sacrifice of freedom was too great, even if the end result promised harmony. But as the months turned into years, the tide of progress became undeniable. Oceans began to heal, forests flourished with new life, and conflicts that had long divided nations began to ebb into dialogue. The Zherath shared their knowledge of sustainable practices, and slowly, humanity's unity unfolded. On a sun-drenched summer day, five years after their arrival, the Zherath convened a Global Summit on the Capitol steps. They addressed the world once more: "You have embraced the gift of collaboration. Together, we have cultivated the seeds of peace." As the crowd erupted into applause, a curious child stood beside her father. “Are we free now?” she asked, eyes wide with innocence. Her father bent down, brushed a tear from his cheek, and smiled. “Maybe it’s not about freedom in the way we used to think. Maybe it’s about being free together.” And in the embrace of the Zherath, humanity discovered a new identity—not of servitude, but as stewards of their planet, intertwined with others beyond the stars, united for a shared future. Above them, the skies sighed with relief, a brilliance of colors dancing through the cosmos, singing of hope and harmony.

Surviving the Great Depression

Surviving the Great Depression: How People Got By The Great Depression, which began with the stock market crash in 1929 and lasted throughout the 1930s, was the most severe economic downturn in modern history. It devastated families, communities, and economies around the world. With unemployment soaring, banks failing, and businesses shuttering, many people struggled to make ends meet. Yet, in the face of such hardship, individuals and families found ways to adapt, survive, and, in some cases, even thrive during this turbulent time. The Economic Fallout Before examining how people coped, it’s important to understand the scale of the Great Depression. Unemployment in the United States peaked at around 25%, while industrial production dropped by nearly half. Families who had once been comfortable now found themselves facing dire circumstances. Many had to adjust their lifestyles, downsize their homes, or even leave urban areas in search of work. The national poverty rate skyrocketed, and the economic crisis touched almost every aspect of daily life. Bartering and Community Support As money became scarce, bartering became a practical solution for many. In rural areas, farmers traded goods like eggs, milk, and vegetables for clothing or tools. In urban settings, neighbors exchanged services, such as childcare for food or repair work in exchange for other items of need. These informal economies allowed people to get by without relying entirely on cash, which was hard to come by. In addition to bartering, strong community bonds played a crucial role. In towns and cities, people formed mutual aid societies, cooperatives, and informal networks to share resources. Churches, schools, and local organizations became central to sustaining communities, offering food, shelter, and emotional support to those who were struggling. In fact, many people got through the Great Depression thanks to these community-centered networks that brought together those with little or no resources to offer mutual assistance. The Rise of the “Hobo” Culture For some, survival meant taking to the roads in search of work. Thousands of men, and occasionally families, became “hobos”—a term for itinerant workers who traveled by freight trains or on foot to find jobs. Hobos often found temporary work in agriculture, construction, or factory labor. While life as a hobo was difficult, it was a necessary survival strategy for those with no other option. The hobo code—symbols used to convey messages about the safety or hostility of a place—became part of the culture of migration and survival. Though many people associate the hobo life with homelessness, it’s important to note that not all who traveled in search of work were destitute. For some, the road was a place to escape the intense pressures of urban poverty, while for others, it was the only means to find work in the face of widespread unemployment. Self-Sufficiency: Farming, Gardening, and Home Production For those fortunate enough to still have access to land, subsistence farming became a lifeline. With food prices soaring, many families turned to growing their own produce to survive. Victory gardens, small plots where families could grow vegetables like tomatoes, beans, and potatoes, were a common sight across the United States. Even urban dwellers with limited space found creative ways to grow food, such as planting in window boxes or using vacant lots. People also learned to make more from less. In many households, there was a resurgence of “make-do” practices, where people would repurpose old clothes, repair shoes, and turn scrap materials into something useful. Homemade food, like bread, preserves, and soups, became staples, as families tried to stretch their limited resources. Craftsmanship, whether repairing appliances or making do with handmade items, became a necessity as people turned away from consumerism. Government Assistance and the New Deal While many people turned to their own resourcefulness, the U.S. government also played a pivotal role in helping people survive the Great Depression. Under President Franklin D. Roosevelt, the New Deal programs provided jobs, financial relief, and public works projects that aimed to revive the economy. Programs like the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) put young men to work on environmental projects, and the Works Progress Administration (WPA) employed millions in public construction and arts projects. Additionally, social programs like Social Security were introduced, providing a safety net for the elderly and disabled. While government aid did not eliminate poverty for all, it did offer a degree of stability and hope to many who were facing the harshest consequences of the Depression. The New Deal also introduced unemployment insurance and bank regulations that would later shape the U.S. economy for decades to come. The Psychological Impact: Resilience and Optimism Perhaps the most enduring aspect of the Great Depression was the resilience of the people who lived through it. For many, the Depression was a time of deep hardship, but it also fostered a sense of solidarity and resourcefulness. People found ways to laugh, celebrate holidays, and take care of one another. Radio programs, movies, and music became a form of escape for families who gathered around the radio in the evening or went to the cinema for a brief respite from their struggles. The phrase “make do and mend” became a popular motto for families who lived through the Depression, reflecting the necessity of getting by with what was available. This attitude of perseverance carried many through, and the lessons learned during this time influenced future generations. Families developed long-lasting habits of thrift, careful planning, and a deep appreciation for the value of community support. Conclusion The Great Depression was a time of unparalleled hardship, but it was also a time of ingenuity, self-reliance, and community solidarity. People survived by relying on one another, bartering, farming, and finding creative solutions to the overwhelming challenges they faced. While the New Deal and other government programs provided important relief, it was the resilience and resourcefulness of ordinary people that defined how they got by. In the end, the experience of the Great Depression shaped not only the lives of those who lived through it but also the course of American society for years to come, influencing everything from social safety nets to attitudes toward work and economic security. The Great Depression stands as a reminder that, even in the darkest times, humanity’s capacity to adapt, endure, and support one another can shine through.

26 Seconds In Heaven

26 Seconds In Heaven There are many things happening around this time. Most of it can drive us mad. We have an invasion at the Southern border bringing with it rape, murder, human trafficking, drugs, and disease. We have an intentionally crippled economy which makes it hard to afford the food to continue on, much less pay our rent and other bills. The shrinking number of corporations and the influx of foreign workers make it increasingly difficult to find a job. We have skyrocketing prices of housing making it near impossible for someone who graduated from high school or college to afford their own place. This is just the beginning of the troubles facing us. What are we to do? No matter what happens in the near future, we must not lose our humanity. We serve a risen savior who has told us to fear not. He is with us. He is victorious. No matter how things look, He is in control. He has our lives in His command. If even death comes to us, we will live with Him in heaven. Now. I hate dying as much as the next person. I have done it and the worst part of dying is the pain. There comes a point, though, where the pain stops and we are lifted up out of our bodies into the heavenly realm. There is no pain there. There isn't even the discomfort of standing on your feet. How do I know this? I was there. I used up most of my 26 seconds right outside the gates of heaven being astonished at how incredibly pain free heaven actually was. The other two seconds I spent wondering when the two other beings who were in front of me were going to finish their unintelligible conversation and notice me so they would move and let me through the gate. Just as I finished that last thought, I was sucked out of heaven back into my body. I don't know why I had to come back to this earthly plane. I didn't get to speak to anyone and I only noticed a few people passing by the gates. I must have been at a side gate because all I could see of heaven was a flat, white field of clouds. I tried to see the streets of gold but I couldn't see them from my viewpoint. To the left I could see a hill of clouds but nothing that was described in the Bible like the mansions or throne of God. I didn't see any long lost relatives either but there was a great peace there and coming back to earth was the last thing on my mind. I was ready to stay there forever. I don't know why God made me come back but if I ever get to go back up there, I'm going to be rude and interrupt the conversation if those two beings are there blocking my way again. I trust that God had a reason for sending me back but the aches and pains of this body almost make me want to find a quick way back up there. I will try to be patient and wait though. I will strive to retain my humanity and love my brothers and sisters as Jesus instructed me to do. After all, this world is but a twinkle of the eye and heaven is eternal.

Thanksgiving 2022

 Thanksgiving 2022

I sit here this Thanksgiving, now that I've given thanks, contemplating on my loved ones who are no longer with us.  I relatively recently lost my mother and my ex-fiancee.  About twenty years before that, I lost my wife of fifteen years.  All were lost close to the holiday season.

It's sort of strange.  You expect it to have an effect on you but I find myself in sort of limbo.  It's not that I don't miss them.  I do.  It's just that I don't feel as though I have suffered a great loss.  Maybe it's because I got a peek at what heaven was like when the doctor accidentally killed me for a short time?  I really don't know.

It could be because I was so grateful to God for giving me a warm place to sleep, food to keep me alive, and a loving family.  I don't know if I have been this thankful before.  The world stage looks like something out of Revelation and our country isn't looking much better.  I wouldn't have believed it possible that my country would sink this low.  Even more shocking is that the people in this country would just let it happen without a fight, yet, here we are.  If only I could awaken and find that it was just a bad dream.  That's not likely to happen though.  It doesn't do any good for me to want freedom for my descendants more than they want it for themselves.  They are the ones who are young and able, not me anymore.  At least they can't say that I didn't warn them.

Is Zuckerberg In League with the Nigerian Scammers?

I was commenting on a friend's Facebook post where a Nigerian scammer was trying to get her to send him a friend request. She told him to get lost and I told her, "Nigerian scammers have no heart." The woman, after all, is elderly and has cancer. For my seemingly mild sentence, I was given a 6 day suspension on Facebook. As far as I know, nothing was done to the Nigerian scammer. Does this indicate that Zuckerberg is in league with the Nigerian scammers? Since when is it wrong to call someone out for trying to scam your friend? Something seems very wrong here.

How to Play the Solo to "Money" by Pink Floyd - David Gilmour Solo Lesson

This is what has been occupying my time.
