To add to what Sigs said, EVERYBODY makes bad decisions. Most of them are likely made in their youth.
Some never learn and do it all their lives and earn themselves an early death on top of a miserable life.
Most will make poor decisions more than a handful of times in adulthood even with the best of intentions because, SPOILER ALERT: Pretty much everyone is dumb, no matter what their age is.
Then there's just plain ole' Bad Luck too.
It's all in this song...
Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)
Lyrics:
Ladies and gentlemen of the class of '99
Wear sunscreen
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it
A long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists
Whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable
Than my own meandering experience, I will dispense this advice now
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth, oh, never mind
You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth
Until they've faded, but trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back
At photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now
How much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked
You are not as fat as you imagine
Don't worry about the future
Or worry, but know that worrying
Is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing Bubble gum
The real troubles in your life
Are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind
The kind that blindsides you at 4 p.m. on some idle Tuesday
Do one thing every day that scares you
Don't be reckless with other people's hearts
Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours
Floss
Don't waste your time on jealousy
Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind
The race is long and in the end, it's only with yourself
Remember compliments you receive, forget the insults
If you succeed in doing this, tell me how
Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements
Stretch
Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life
The most interesting people I know
Didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives
Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't
Get plenty of calcium
Be kind to your knees
You'll miss them when they're gone
Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't
Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't
Maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the 'Funky Chicken'
On your 75th wedding anniversary
Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much
Or berate yourself either
Your choices are half chance, so are everybody else's
Enjoy your body, use it every way you can
Don't be afraid of it or what other people think of it
It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own
Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your own living room
Read the directions even if you don't follow them
Do not read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly
Get to know your parents, you never know when they'll be gone for good
Be nice to your siblings, they're your best link to your past
And the people most likely to stick with you in the future
Understand that friends come and go
But a precious few, who should hold on
Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle
For as the older you get
The more you need the people you knew when you were young
Live in New York City once but leave before it makes you hard
Live in northern California once but leave before it makes you soft
Travel
Accept certain inalienable truths
Prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too, will get old
And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young
Prices were reasonable, politicians were noble
And children respected their elders
Respect your elders
Don't expect anyone else to support you
Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you'll have a w

Are you really incapable of thinking even 3 years ahead?
It seems so.

I will probably never make it clear enough, but I am opposed to "Trumptards" as a group. Trump got elected because his life and words appeal to the Trumptards among us. Once Trump is dead, the Trumptards will quickly find somebody as diseased, but less obnoxious and stupid, to be their new leader.
There's no such thing as "Trumptards". People who often make stupid life decisions can be found in the barrios and ghettos as often as in wealthy suburbs. The corrupt and evil vote Dem too, in boardrooms and politics more than any place else.
If you were honest with yourself... an impossibility, I know ... you'd understand what we all do: That you're just looking for an excuse to exercise your sociopathy.
That's why you went to war: so you could graduate your killing from small pets to people, and not go to jail for it. You STILL want to kill people .
I'm sure your parents did their best, but you were born evil.

The essence of being a Trumptard is a conviction that your fears are rational and a certainty of your superior knowledge. The Trumptard whose Cadillac I fixed today was convinced he knows cars. One of the two songs he is always playing in his head is titled "I Am Superior, Reasonable, And Good." (Signym, for the record, I NEVER play that song in my head.) The flip side of that vinyl record is the other Trumptard theme song: "My Enemies Know Nothing and Are Evil". (Signym, for the record, Trumptards' life stories prove they are what they accuse their enemies to be. I have videoed them at their worst. When I played back to them what they said and did, they claimed the video was fake and words had been changed. Too bad I don't have video of all Trumptards. They would deny the reality of their sad lives. )
This particular Trumptard who works in the White House plays both songs constantly:
Blocking tariffs would be "end of the United States," top Trump adviser says
By Ben Berkowitz | August 31, 2025
https://www.axios.com/2025/08/31/trump-tariffs-supreme-court
It would be "the end of the United States" if President Trump's sweeping global tariffs are ultimately struck down by the Supreme Court, White House trade adviser Peter Navarro said Sunday.
Why it matters: The administration is putting maximum pressure on the high court — and the court of public opinion — in an attempt to frame the future of Trump's trade regime in existential terms.
Catch up quick: Late Friday night, a federal appellate court upheld a lower-court ruling that Trump's sweeping global tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) were illegal.
Trump quickly warned the ruling could "literally destroy the United States" and suggested a Supreme Court appeal was coming.
The decision allows the IEEPA tariffs to remain in place through at least Oct. 14. It does not affect so-called Section 232 tariffs (like steel and aluminum) or Section 301 national tariffs (like the levies imposed on China in Trump's first term).
What they're saying: "This was weaponized partisan injustice at its worst. Politicians in black robes," Navarro said on Fox's "Sunday Morning Futures" of the court's 7-4 decision.
"If we lose the case, President Trump is right — it will be the end of the United States," he said.

Quote:When I pay attention to the Trumptards around me, it is one damn stupid thing after another with them. The example from yesterday was the Trumptard next door who couldn't understand why his Cadillac won't start, even after weeks of effort and the purchasing of many replacement parts. That Trumptard tried one thing after another and failed. His failures do not give me feelings of superiority and I was not feeling pity for that fool. By the way, the fix was easy. That moron had convinced himself that the failed fuel pump relay was not at fault. I can only speculate how he tricked himself into believing a falsehood. Here is an example of a semi-human doing a lousy impersonation of a President:

Just before he logged off for the night, Trump found time to return to his beloved tariffs, claiming they would bring “more than 15 trillion dollars” into the U.S.
What Trump claims to be true isn't happening, but that won't stop him from saying it will. If you think failure would cause his followers to chastise him, you'd be mistaken because they aren't aware.

The US Disaster With India Has Reached The Grovelling Stage by US State Department
And It Has NOTHING To Do With Helping Ukraine
Phillips P. OBrien | Sep 01, 2025
https://phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/the-us-disaster-with-india-has-
reached
The Trump Administration imposed punitive tariffs on India, expecting the Indians to come grovelling to Trump and ask what they needed to do to make things better.
And guess what? It is the US which is grovelling as the Indians treat the move by the Trump Administration with the disdain that it deserves.
The US decision to decimate the US-Indian relationship never made sense in any rational universe where states act with their self-interest at heart.
Singling out India for punitive tariffs was not just self-destructive, it was also profoundly illogical. The publicly stated idea that the move was because India was buying lots of Russian oil was, ipso facto, ridiculous. China buys even more Russian oil than India and Turkey buys almost as much—and Trump is desperately trying to keep both of these states onboard. Instead, India got closer to Russia.
So, if the move had nothing to do with helping Ukraine, it might be asked why it happened? Well, what has emerged in the last few days is that the reason for the blow-up was even more venal than most people could have predicted.
Trump was destroying one of the most important strategic relationships the US has because the Indians refused to lie on his behalf and feed his monstrous ego. Trump wanted the Indians to state that he was responsible for bringing peace between India and Pakistan (a laughable claim). And the Indian government, representing a proud state with a history of not bowing to western pressure, not surprisingly refused.
Mr. Trump had been saying — repeatedly, publicly, exuberantly — that he had “solved” the military conflict between India and Pakistan, a dispute that dates back more than 75 years and is far deeper and more complicated than Mr. Trump was making it out to be.
During a phone call on June 17, Mr. Trump brought it up again, saying how proud he was of ending the military escalation. He mentioned that Pakistan was going to nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize, an honor for which he had been openly campaigning. The not-so-subtle implication, according to people familiar with the call, was that Mr. Modi should do the same.
The Indian leader bristled. He told Mr. Trump that U.S. involvement had nothing to do with the recent cease-fire. It had been settled directly between India and Pakistan.
Its remarkable how the entire position of the United States is being perverted by the personal interest and delusions of the president. Where is the bureaucracy that is supposed to check these things? Where are the “sensible” Republicans?
This move has been so catastrophic that its hard to underestimate the damage that has been done. India was in many ways the great linchpin to any attempt to balance China with powers from the global south itself. India and the US had no areas of insurmountable difference and many areas of shared interest—and things had been steadily improving between the two states for decades.
Maybe, through grovelling, the US can try and repair some of the foolishness and destructiveness it has brought to its international position. However, even then, it has set back the US-Indian relationship for years, if not decades.
Cleaning up the damage that Trump is doing to US relations with allies and friends is going to be one of the greatest challenge the US has ever faced internationally. If, of course, it even wants to try.

What chaos at the US Centers for Disease Control could mean for the rest of the world
Published: September 1, 2025

Ever since Robert F Kennedy (RFK) Jr was appointed United States Secretary of Health and Human Services, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has been under pressure to abandon its traditional evidence-based approach to public health in America and across the world.
That pressure came to a head last week with the sacking of recently appointed CDC director Susan Monarez. According to her lawyers, the longtime government scientist, who had been in the role less than a month, was targeted after she refused to “rubber-stamp unscientific, reckless directives”.
Monarez will be replaced by Jim O'Neill, deputy director of the Department of Health and Human Services. Critics note he has no medical or scientific training.
RFK Jr’s department has dismissed and replaced the 17 expert members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices with eight new people – a number of whom have reportedly expressed anti-vaccination views.
During RFK Jr’s tenure so far, his department has:
reduced access to COVID vaccines for children and pregnant women
cancelled contracts to develop new mRNA vaccines worth US$500 million
revived the search for a long disproved link between childhood vaccines and autism.
RFK Jr is arguably the most important figure overseeing health in the US. It’s difficult to underestimate the harm his actions will do to vaccine confidence and uptake in America and around the world.

What you chose to post is simmered in your support for dictators. My point is you keep your posts in a state of incipient development towards that goal never exposing honestly what you do here.
Of course you will deny it, but it’s represented front and center in the pattern of your posts. Who you like, support and defend globally you keep in that state of incipient, i.e, beginning development.
You mask your personal truth by presenting your posts in a way where you think you can hide your deeper beliefs. You'd never say you support dictators but despite your precautions it's obvious.
Your intention is to come off as pragmatic, but you are anything but comrade signym.
