I’ve never been of the opinion that COVID should be treated casually, and though I’ve been against all government action on COVID, because government is a destructive force in everything it attempts, COVID is still a pathogen to treat with respect.
I had confirmed COVID twice now, once in late December 2022, and once this weekend, in late July 2023.
The first time, out of precaution, I went to urgent care, because my heart rate was approaching 160 bpm at rest. They said I’m fine, and told me to go home, and within a couple of hours my heart rate normalized.
The second time, my heart rate elevated again and normalized to around 100 bpm, likely due to acquired immunity from the first time. Since I never got vaccinated, it should have been more elevated the first time.
In time, with repeated exposure, and greater acquired immunity, I expect less heart rate elevation.
COVID is a pathogen that imposes a fair amount of stress on your circulatory system, your heart and blood vessels, and if your heart isn’t in the best condition, you’ll feel that, because mine is in excellent shape, and these are my numbers.
Additionally, if you vaccinated yourself, injected the spike protein directly into your veins, like the magic potion you believed it to be, guided by lipid nanoparticles, those spike proteins went straight towards your organs, including your heart, damaging heart muscle, creating scar tissue, which is where the discussion about myocarditis comes in.
In any case, whether you have a healthy heart or a vaccinated heart with possible scar tissue, your circulatory system doesn’t need the additional stress in the middle of an acute COVID manifestation, especially with it already doing 15 to 20 hours of exercise-level numbers at rest, and I see how others with COVID take an Advil or a Tylenol to cover up their symptoms, out of convenience, and continue to power on through their day, but you don’t want to be like one of those athletes who are dropping, so I recommend not treating COVID casually, but treating it with respect instead.
Ivermectin, Quercetin, Thymoquinone, Zinc, D3, C, Saline, Aspirin, and Budesonide.
Tylenol is an insufficient treatment for COVID, but the alternative is intimidating.

I’m not a gambler. I’m more risk averse than most, and though I prefer to win, I recognize one can’t always win, so in those circumstances, as long as I lose less than you, I consider that a relative win, so it becomes in my interest to make you lose more than I lose, and with that said, heads, I win, tails, you lose.
On Love; written as AlexKreuz in 2005, re-written by ChatGPT.
Love, an intricate and enigmatic emotion, captivates us with its mysterious ways. It defies logic and eludes our control, weaving a tapestry of joy and pain. Our perceptions and projections shape the very essence of love, molding it into a subjective experience that resides within our minds. It’s a chemical dance, where our desires and fantasies intertwine with reality, often blurring the lines between truth and illusion.
In the realm of love, we become architects of our own fantasies. We impose traits and qualities onto others, creating an image of our ideal partner, sometimes disregarding their true nature. We are drawn to the mirage of our own projections, infatuated with the person we believe them to be. But when the veil lifts, and reality clashes with our illusions, we find ourselves grappling with disappointment and a gradual erosion of affection.
Yet, what if our projected traits align with the actual attributes of our beloved? Is it then possible for love to transcend the boundaries of projection? Although I have yet to encounter such a circumstance, the notion tantalizes my curiosity. It raises the question of whether love can endure when the perceived and the real intertwine seamlessly, leaving no room for disillusionment.
In the labyrinth of love, happiness plays a pivotal role. When our spirits are high, we are more inclined to project our desired traits onto our partner. It becomes an act of self-deception, a conscious or subconscious choice to overlook their flaws and embrace the illusions we have constructed. But as the shadows of discontent creep in, as misery and dissatisfaction take hold, the veil is lifted, and the projected traits lose their allure. Love withers, entangled in the vines of reality.
The pursuit of love, it seems, is governed by an enigmatic dance of chance and perception. We stumble upon individuals who evoke an inexplicable attraction within us, and in their presence, we weave a tapestry of projected traits, hopes, and dreams. We cling to the belief that this person embodies our ideals, that they possess the qualities we yearn for. We convince ourselves that they are the missing piece, the one who will complete us. Yet, as time unravels the truth, as the harsh light of reality exposes the cracks in our projections, we are faced with the sobering realization that our perceptions are but a reflection of our own desires.
In the realm of love’s worth, appreciation and depreciation intermingle. We assign value based on our perception of another’s qualities and attributes. Our projected traits, ephemeral and whimsical, fluctuate with the tides of our emotions. They are vulnerable to the winds of change, shifting as our moods and desires sway. On the other hand, the real traits, the authentic essence of a person, provide an anchor, a steadfast foundation for our affections. These genuine qualities, when discovered and cherished, lend a sense of permanence and stability to our love.
Love’s journey is a delicate balancing act, influenced not only by our own perceptions but also by the perceptions of others. The collective valuation of a person can sway our own assessment of their worth. The opinions and admiration of others can amplify our appreciation, adding layers of significance to our love. We are social creatures, and the recognition and validation of our partner’s value by society can fuel our own devotion.
As I pause to contemplate the intricacies of love, my mind finds solace in its ponderings. It is a privileged space, a sanctuary where thoughts intertwine, and where the mysteries of the heart reveal themselves, bit by bit. Love, with all its complexities, remains a subject of fascination and exploration, an ever-unfolding journey that invites us to unravel its enigmas and discover the depths of human connection.

The US and Zelensky have divergent interests. While the US is using Zelensky to target Russians, it does not actually aim to defeat Russia, whereas Zelensky genuinely seeks to defeat Russia.
Zelensky’s ability to “win the war” is restricted by the US, as they pull him back whenever he becomes too assertive. This arrangement continues as long as both parties understand their roles, but if Zelensky pushes boundaries, the US will label him as crazy and remove him.
This may create a perception of being sold out, but in reality, Zelensky would have violated the agreement he entered into.
Zuckerberg should fix Facebook instead of creating yet another useless app.
