I have been kicked out of 3 of this country's most prestigious instutions of Higher Learning
USMC MCRD-SD
SJC-A
SFPD Academy
I have a cam show irregularly on queentits.com under name chatspear1970
I have an exhibitionist kink (thus the cam show). I figure everyone has a kink, and I'm thankful mine doesn't involve pain, humiliation, excrement, or children.
I have a very significant case of bipolar disorder. Has kept me from being able to work in a normal fashion for 14 years during which I have been on social security disability, medicare, medicaid, and public housing.
Now please understand, I am a good liberal (social anarchist/ fiscal and policy pragmatist). I am a huge fan of social safety nets. I think we should do more. I like the guaranteed income policies, and with the coming industrial changes we need to start dealing with a fall in the demand for labor. I am in favor of dropping the work week half an hour a year for the next 40 years. But I digress...
I want to work. I love work. It distracts from this lonely, brutish, and long existence we seem to share. I'm not a christian but I have the puritan work ethic down cold.
But remember, and this is out of place, but remember that almost all jobs involving driving loading unloading vehicular customer service etc will vanish with the driverless cars. Maybe 20% of the jobs. Just from that set of innovations. That's from the bottom 60% of earners.
Lawyers? Doctors? CPAs? AI already can do 30% of what they do. The reason they aren't yet is liability insurance for the firms. That reason goes away once services are added to the trade deals. Pacific Free Trade isn't gone forever.
Where was... I love to work. I have spent the last 6 years building an information firm that can bring the tools of big data to the individual household or small business decision maker.
Doctor says if I work enough to pay for my meds and roof and food it will kill me or a lot of other people. That was early on. Now they say not working. Period.
Let's see... No kids and cannot have kids. Got snipped in 04 because when I was a teacher I saw how many great kids didn't have anyone who cared about them. Now glad did it also because bipolar is likely partly genetic and I am not going to curse anyone with this life.
Many people say they want someone honest. I am honest with someone I'm serious about dating etc. If I'm honest with most people it will take a bunch of time and usually bad feelings.
I see a lot of "God Fearing" listed about wanted attributes. I am not a Christian. I am not a Monotheist. I am an Animist. I believe that the holy is all the world. And I don't fear.
I used to do weddings for friends back home in San Francisco, and am starting up to do so again, mostly for non-traditionals. See EasyOfficiant.
Am also working to build some community around the non-Monotheists. Just some thoughts now. Will see if goes anywhere. See AnimistMinistry.
I said I don't fear above. Not completely true. I am starting to be afraid of the majority of americans who believe in the same faith and god head, have most of the power, money, people, votes, voters, but are acting like they are being oppressed. When the dominant majority is acting like an oppressed minority, I figure that they are waiting for a Fascist Leader to come along and tell them they are right. So I am afraid of American Christians. Y'all are cray cray.
But then, so am I.
Maryland doesn't scare me so much as make me sick. Look, there are bigots everywhere. It is hard to fathom the "color-blindness" that many people claim. But there is something about the racism in Maryland I have never seen anywhere else. I have heard "I am not a racist, but THEY..." many times here. Before I instituted my rule of hitting people who show their bigotry directly to me, I heard more "What do you call 100,000 (NWord) at the bottom of the ocean?" kind of jokes than anywhere but small town New Hampshire.
I think it is the mix of Denial of Bigotry and Bigotry that really messes with my head about this place.
My current theory is that it is the slave state that didn't secede (Because DC had a gun to it's head at civil war.
