It's the temp + HUMIDITY that is the killer.

Don't worry about Oreo (Josh) though.. he still has the comfort of his air conditioned hotel paid for by his viewer donations.

Don't fret 'cause I didn't know the bean bag toss game was called "cornhole" in some circles until ~5 years ago. When I first heard that name, my mind went into the gutter WTF kink game is that? :lol: :bag:
The world's biggest cornhole party in Branson MO starts July 25th! (Games are televised on cable sports channels. I watched part of one last night.)

A lot of this feels like cosplay bs, but this has me officially disturbed. Maybe they will end up sucking down the flavor-aid.

If would really piss them off if we called them a socialist hippie commune, passing out flyers instead of flowers for donations, playing cornhole instead of singing around the campfire.

More captivating video excitement today at the 1776 BM camp. Oreo is now on his way to a grocery store to buy a couple cakes to celebrate tfg's birthday.

On edge of my seat. :bored:

LM K- another prominent vehicle has been missing from the camp -- the fake school bus.

As my understanding is that there were real children living on the fake school bus, I am pleased with this development.

They only had one cake so he got that and 18 cupcakes.

He said to the employee what he wanted written on it: (paraphrased) "Trump, you know the best President in our life time"

1776BM hit a snag early Tues evening. The reefer trailer (refrigerated trailer) ran out of diesel -- they were not checking fuel level, obviously. Now they can't get the compressor restarted. Mass hysteria!! All these "truckers" and not a mechanic among them, were trying to figure it out. They decided they need to remove the fuel filter, but they had no wrench to take it off. So Oreo leaps into action and drives to an auto parts store to buy a filter wrench. All the way, his chats are going nuts with people offering suggestions and what needs done. Oreo get's pissed and tells his mods to start kicking anyone offering mechanical advice. He ignores everyone in the chats when he gets back to camp -- LOL

Oreo gets back to camp with the wrench but the other campers have given up and are waiting on the mechanic who got the reefer going again a couple weeks ago.

Meanwhile, we'll see how that works out. How much food will spoil this time?

They got a functioning reefer. They are live-streaming the transfer of goods. It is boring.

That demands we bring Sir David Attenbourogh over from England, to narrate this personally.

"Here we are, in a field, to witness the mating dance of the lesser spotted Reefer truck. As we watch, the reproductive organs, which go by the Latin name "Idiots," transfer the vital materials from one to the other. As this happens, Birds knows as "Grifters" excitedly circle, emitting a constant plaintive cry to other, more far away organisms for sustenance. It is unknown why these other organisms show any interest at all in these birds. But regardless, the Grifters keep squawking, creating a loud obnoxious background cacophony, as in the center of the circle the quiet business of Reefer mating, goes on"

I'm greatly disturbed by this, too. The minute TPC went full Proud Boy theology, I knew this wS going to get dark. And the group has become dark.

QRR (Twitter) calls the movement "the morality police". QRR is correct.

On May 23, Santa defined the new 1776 as a "moral movement". The 1776 finally acknowledged thhh bbhjyhat the group had gone from pretending to be inclusive to being a Fundamentalist religious group.

Sadly, the members of this group don't understand that religious fundamentalism completely ends FREEDUMB!

How can you believe in FREEDUMB but deny personal choices?

-This is an anti-vax group in which every member is anti-reproductivr choice. Some members go so far as to go into pro-choice protests and tell women to keep their legs closed if they don't want a pregnancy. They call pro- choice supporters "pro-murder".

-This group is intensely anti-trans. They say truly vile things about those who are transgendered and those who support transgender people.

-Pride flags set these folks into rants against the LGBTQIA community.

-Misogyny is rampant in this group.

I don't know if anyone has noticed that group screams of "FREEDUMB!" stopped weeks ago.

Morality police try to enforce what they believe is moral. There is no place for disagreement in this movement.

Isn't that the opposite of "FREEDUMB!"?

And these are the folks who want to occupy DC.

Yep. Their timing was interesting. This was probably a coincidence, but the school bus family left just hours before CPS showed up.

The parents say they want to return to camp but that they need donations to afford fuel to get the camp.

I'm behind on group meetings. I'm sorry. Soros, Gates, and Rothschild Inc are approving fewer overtime hours.

Wed morning meeting:

*Raptor has returned!

*More dog fighting in the background. These people refuse to control their dogs.**

*Tent has to be returned to the group "Chinese-Americans for Freedom", who loaned it to them. But there is another tent to replace it!

*Santa went to a meeting of conservatives last night. There was a "Constitutional Sheriff" who spoke!!

*Santa talks about how liberal states do have people "like us". They come to us weeping!

*Why are people picking on us? We're just a little group.

-They're afraid of us!

-We're waking people up! Now people are organizing in their communities!

-We're doing what the left has done for decades! They gained control over elections.

-They hate Santa because he just lays it out for them ... :enough enough."

*Member says living on the asphalt is "inhumane".

*Talks about going swimming.

*Ooooooo. They're going to use group donations to pay the entry fee at the pool. The fee is $1 per person after 5pm.

*Have to move a ton of stuff.

*Twice died Bryant returned a few days ago.

*The group website was hacked and a mass email went out about Samuel and Santa. "We're not angry. We're just hurt."

*Santa doesn't hate other people! Even trolls!!

*It's hot! Hydrate and be nice to each other!!.

The end

**A little dog got badly bit ... twice ... by a German Shepherd on Mon. It sounds like a little dog got bit during this morning's meeting.

Speaking of cults. We were talking about cults, weren't we?

https://www.salon.com/2022/05/24/authenticity-study/
Worried about coming off as fake? Relax: New study says humans are terrible at gauging authenticity
Our society values authenticity — but that authenticity can be easily faked, new psychology research shows


Unfortunately, we may not be that good at gauging others' genuineness — even when we believe we are. That's according to a new study, which found that it's much harder to figure out if someone's being authentic than most of us thought.

In an article published by the journal Psychological Science, researchers from Columbia University surveyed a cohort of subjects and found that while most people assume they can ascertain others' authenticity, their self-rated authenticity was often at wild odds with how individuals rated their own authenticity.

In other words: few can tell when someone is being fake.

These findings are reminiscent of what scientists have learned about detecting liars. Although we would like to believe that there are certain traits which give away if a person is lying, these assumptions are often false. Someone may seem hesitant to answer questions because of reasons that have nothing to do with dishonesty, for instance.

"I think it's common to look for physical signs, like lack-of-eye-contact, to indicate deception," logician Miriam Bowers-Abbott told Salon last year. Yet she added, "our world is more multicultural than it used to be, and there are many cultures where it's more normal to use less eye-contact. So, eye-contact isn't always a great clue."
