Angel, my friend Angel...! LOVE EVERYBODY AND REMAIN!

I'm afraid I cannot properly fulfill your request because I am putting the 'old' in wise old man and suffer from dementia. All I have for you (despite taking days to think it over in the back of my mind as the 'dementia' took over my body like a restless poltergeist) are anecdotes from my own life, told to me by my evil jester father/otherwise cemented into my mind. - 2008: I was chased by wild boar at one of my father's wilderness sites and made them piss off by waving my big Gandalf walking stick at them from the high ground (a big rock.) At the same site, I once had to climb my way back up a waterfall (not the large type, but I would have gotten seriously injured if I'd went down regardless due to the rocks) after falling down. Same site again, but there were people illegally camping there and since it was a government site, we had to chase them out. They were drunk and belligerent and so I allegedly climbed up a steep rock face and ragebaited them into getting even more aggressive. -200?: Different wilderness site. Usually the one we did last because of how gruelling the walk and terrain was. There was a wedge-tailed eagle eating a kangaroo carcass that was propped up on a rock. It was quite picturesque, which is probably why I remember it so vividly. As for 'interesting' people I met there that I can remember: - Bald man named Gary who refused to wear shoes anywhere and was apparently rich (he certainly didn't act it, from what I remember.) He also used to piss in fridges while he slept because he was a terrible sleepwalker. Not fun. - Botanist living in a Unabomber cabin who had a full fence of chicken wire around his entire home that was away from literally everything. Acted like a targeted individual. - Not a person, but a border collie that would run into our tent at the trailer park every morning and bring me great joy, even when it was damp most of the time because of the morning frost. EDIT: I REMEMBERED ONE! At the psych ward in 2018, I met a very ill young woman (albeit older than me.) We stayed in contact after we'd both been freed from our chains and she'd message me blessing me, sending me healing vibrational videos, talking about MK-ULTRA and there was one time that she sent me the lyrics of The Plagues from the Prince of Egypt but she replaced words so that Egypt was Babylon and my name was mentioned. She also sent videos of her speaking to God and tossing bright balls of energy that only she could see at my enemies. Lovely girl, really. I hope she's doing better now.

Me personally? No. I barely even speak English. My feeble brain degenerates at far too quick a rate to retain languages. I have dementia. There were a lot of languages (Swedish, Icelandic, Russian, Nyungar - to name a few) spoken to/around me when I was young, though, and I was forced by The Curriculum (LOTE) to learn Japanese that I did not manage or try to retain whatsoever. EDIT: I can, however, still READ Cyrillic, Hiragana/Katakana & younger + elder Futhark. Speak? No. Read? Yes. Lord knows why.

Awwwwwh... thank you so much! I'll guzzle down an entire lake in your honour.

This is actually exactly my brand. Very astute observation (not sarcasm, by the way. It's genuine!) Thank you for acknowledging my very important role in this economy. I'm a blunt, spry-for-my-age, highly traumatised veteran with half a century of wisdom from experience. I'm a wise old wizard-shaman living in a rundown shack in the middle of a forest in Norway, equipped with several millennia of knowledge. I am a court jester that tells truths nobody can execute me for because I turn them into jokes #JestersPrivilege. I am a newborn child experiencing the world with wonder, optimism and in excessive mantis shrimp, never before seen technicolour. I am a singing fish ornament. I am a bird's song. I am a man, a woman, nothing, everything, everybody's next-door neighbour, a federal agent and the person being gangstalked by said agent. This is my mycelium network. My multifaceted Loki infinite-face magical D&D die. Perhaps even my Loki multiverse trapped together in one body. I really got so far away from the point with this one that I can't even see it using the CIA's worldwide satellite network. #Apolocheese

I use Adobe Photoshop 2024 for all of them, and for my GIF graphics I use it on the motion mode after using the photography mode to edit everything. It's usually a lot magic wand/remove BG quick action to make images transparent and then feather tool to put a background behind them, and then I sort of lazily animate them frame by frame. I hope this helped! P.S., if you want to pirate Photoshop, I recommend searching for whatever version of it you want on DuckDuckGo or another browser that is more private with less of Google's pushed-to-the-top, cleansed ads and then adding "portable" to the end of the search.

ESL means English second language. Some of my older, less frequent parts speak other languages because those were what was spoken primarily or secondarily around my family & the places I'd have to be.

Thank you, brother. 🫡

Publicly, as in on social media? No, not really. That is far too vulnerable for my liking. If you want to see them, you'd have to add my account and I'd put you in a bucket to see some of the decorated ones that I am okay sharing without blowing my head smoove off.

Mmm, delicious! Clink clink! 🥂 Skål, brother!

I will pencil you in for an 11 o'clock appointment; my schedule is quite busy. We'll have to make it quick. Cereal of choice?

Awww. How kind. I wish you luck on your transition! 🤩

Essentially, it is often extreme child labour for militaristic purposes/government purposes. It doesn't have to include actually, you know... being a soldier in active combat when underage, but that of course is also included under the umbrella. It includes militaristic training, sex trafficking, cleaning, cooking, being deployed as a spy, being a messenger and so on so forth. TL;DR: Any child trafficking/labour used by the government and/or the military-slash-paramilitary groups. If those groups are involved in the process, that is child soldiery/"modern slavery," as it is called in my country.
