well, euh i don't know why but steemit feels a lot friendlier than it did last year, ... since i sat it out with a few privileged who kept downvoting every single post i havent had any run-ins anymore, which is good, that way i can try to build something :p

As for Syria, it's been a battleground for years and years now and i can't shake the feeling its very convenient for both the US and Russia that they can use it as no man's land to test all their new gimmicks and strategies without actually having to fight each other (cf. Afghanistan where al qaeda was born) It is surprising however that it's put in the new as something 'new' and used as a kind of motivational beating stick to warm your american people (who grew very tired of sending out soldiers everywhere as i understood) for a new batch of war. For a moment there i thought Trump in all his testosterone might actually not start a new one during his legislature (or tenure what do you call it overthere) but it's still a conundrum, with Kim Korea saying he wants peacetalks 'as long as the states don't invade' i'm totally like wtf ??!?

what is going on here behind the screen where the plebs and small fry like us can't see whats happening ?

there's no obligation to answer lol, i try as much as , but i miss a lot sometimes, because there's this thing called life outside the screen and all that

i can no longer backvote anyone who voted me btw, its become too much but its very nice to have people here to talk with, not just to :p, on a variety of subjects i'd be lacking around here, and i have been , for years, from anything critical criticism, anarchy (non violent resistance that is) particle physics, the war-machine ... homesteading ... the mechanics of the system, you name it :p

so ... if you feel like answering please do, and if not , then don't feel bad for that lol

see you around, take care
