@adorable_ca Now on to lesson two, concerning Shock and Awe !
Sebring, FL 🇺🇸 English

Omg 😱 I’m still trying to process what just happened.
The highest ranking US intelligence official, just released smoking gun docs proving that Obama and his underlings committed treason/sedition.
Meaning Trump was right about everything, the news is fake, and the Deep State is real.
Meaning that all of us “conspiracy theorists” were right about the conspiracy against Trump… it wasn’t a theory.
Meaning the shadow war is real, and all our efforts over the last 10 years were not part of a “LARP”.
Meaning that we are not crazy. We were right.
It was all real.
FOLLOW ME, THE NEXT DROP WILL BE SHOCKING.

@FLCons Painful way to transform from human to jellyfish.

So Norway has this "platform diving" type contest.
The sport goes by a couple of names - one of which seems to still be on X's no no words - SO we'll just call it a Pain Diving contest. Anyway, the objective is to fly yourself off a high diving platform and do weird twists and tumbles and awkwardly into the water.
Have you ever ended up doing a full on belly flop?

In 1943, an American pilot crashed into one of the most dangerous jungles in the world.
For 31 days, Fred Hargesheimer wandered alone through the rainforests of New Britain after his plane was shot down over Japanese-controlled territory during World War II.
He was starving.
Delirious.
Barely alive.
He survived on roots and stream water while hiding from Japanese patrols searching the island.
By the time voices finally emerged from the jungle, Fred thought he had been found by enemy soldiers.
Instead, it was a group of Nakanai villagers.
They carried the exhausted American pilot back to their village and hid him from Japanese forces fully aware they could be executed for helping him.
The villagers protected him anyway.
Fred was so weak he could barely eat.
Then a nursing mother named Ida began feeding him her own breast milk for days to keep him alive while also caring for her infant son.
Fred never forgot her name.
Whenever Japanese patrols approached, villagers blew a hidden conch shell warning so Fred could escape into the jungle.
Children even followed behind him sweeping away his bootprints in the sand with palm-frond brooms to hide evidence he had been there.
If the Japanese had discovered him, the entire village could have been massacred.
Nobody betrayed him.
The children called him “Mastah Preddi.”
Master Freddie.
He lived among them for seven months before Allied forces finally rescued him by submarine in 1944.
But Fred never forgot the people who saved his life.
Especially Ida.
Especially the children with the tiny brooms.
Years later, one thought still haunted him:
“How could I ever repay them?”
So in 1960, he returned to New Britain.
As his boat approached the shore, villagers stood waiting for him and began singing the only English song they knew:
“God Save the Queen.”
Fred stepped onto the beach and cried.
After returning home to Minnesota, he began raising money through churches and local donations to help the village.
Over the following decades, he helped build:
• schools
• libraries
• a medical clinic
At one point, Fred and his wife even moved there for several years to teach children themselves.
In 2000, the Nakanai people officially named him a tribal chief and gave him the title:
“Suara Auru” Chief Warrior.
Then, at age 90, Fred made one final trip into the jungle to visit the wreckage of the plane that had crashed there in 1943.
Villagers carried the elderly pilot through the rainforest on their shoulders so he could see it one last time.
Fred Hargesheimer died in 2010 at age 94.
The schools and clinic he helped build still serve the community today.
When people asked why he spent nearly 70 years repaying strangers he could have simply forgotten after the war, Fred always gave the same answer:
“They saved my life. How could I ever repay it?”
So he spent the rest of his life trying.

@Avabelly__ It will never make it back to original owner - keep it . 👍

Found this in a pair of jeans I thrifted. My coworker found out and she told me to bring it back to the thrift shop because it's the right thing to do even if it's just $10. She mentioned that if she found even a cent she would still return it. Would you return it? I think I have the right to keep it, but she's making me feel some type of way about it.
