You can write for #informationwar....easily and on a format...kick that writer's block in the junk!

Well, somebody beat me to ZeroHedge, but American Thinker, Daily Signal, PJ Media and (dare I say it) Life News. I also get ideas from Y-Tube but I don't watch the same stuff most other people do. These are mostly for ideas about subject matter anyway- after I get the idea, I start digging elsewhere (like that floppy which was the culmination of YEARS of research).

Ah three sources- the good 'ol academic method- I thought she was dead and buried. In your sub-chap. Back It Up you have a typo copy/pasta* you must have been hungry (I told you extrafries but you never listen my son). Reading through I think you have the makings of a fine article. For myself, I find that writing more journalistically, or editorially works for me... I think academia is a bit dry for this format... kids want to be entertained- Like you said, throw in some pictures and maybe a video.

I hope you got the email I sent- if you haven't seen it, you need to look!!!!! PELIGRO!

thanks for the feedback!

I was used to academic writing from grad school, but I was told by a few folks to dumb it down and let Steemers have the chance to understand it.

American Thinker is a good one. I'll have to look/see Life News

I'm still working off the extrafries damn it!

And thanks for the Electrum headsup, too!

I got so far into academic writing that even the professors couldn't follow it. I was having difficulty interacting with people in everyday life. So now I've "trained" myself to always consider my audience- it doesn't do any good to tell someone something if they don't understand what you're talking about... it kinda defeats the purpose of language. (I'm also much happier). In my writing I don't focus so much on "proving" what I say- what I write about is almost all based on over 20 years of research and experience, so I'm pretty certain of the veracity. I just make sure to keep it understandable.

Someone on here yesterday wrote a post about Electrum's security protocol being breached (thank God I saw it). I upgraded my wallet. It said that the password protected wallets weren't hit YET.

I've been doing kind of a paleo diet (rib eyes) and talking berberine which is supposed to be a miracle supplement as far as blood sugar, cholesterol and triglycerides go. I have diabetes and haven't had to take but 1 shot in over a month.

the language of academics can be addictive, the multi-syllable, pseudocognitive, thieve's cants of researchers (but particularly in social "science" researchers)has a rythm of it's own. I fell into the same trap

"trained" myself to always consider my audience

I wish I did, I still drop into Professor Steve mode more often than I should to tell folks what I'm gonna tell em.

rib eyes....mmmmmmmmmmm

couldn't help myself

good to know you're doing better!

I've become an acolyte of Occam's Razor and, of course, as you know Andrzejewski's Law.

And those steaks are ruined... Burnt to death. "We have a name for that where I come from- shoe leather!"

my brother does an orange juice, brown sugar, soy rub that always looks burnt, but damn it good

Andrzejewski's Law.
cant say as I do

Google it and look who you find lol! You did it before. "Verbiage increases to the extent that ambition exceeds knowledge."

I do a variation on Black Forest steak... I put a pat of butter, about 1 tsp of whutsdishere sauce, and 2-3 tbsp maple syrup and microwave for about 35-40 secs (until butter melts) and pour it over the steak... It makes a great dipping sauce.

dint see anything under "Andrzejewski's Law." but I did find the others by searching the quote

and that steak sauce looks damn good. gonna try it!

Ah, the art of creative bullshitting- that sounds remotely familiar! And my friend Charles Sykes- he was instrumental in my growth as a Conservative.
