This is incredible. So much that it’s kinda hard to believe.
Yeah, as it sounds like you’re aware, if you’re not a full-time-company-person in the U.S, you’re basically expendable dirt here.
But we also have a majority of benefits tied to full-time employment. My wife and I live with family and both work part time…we both agree that jobs’ intrusion into peoples’ life space is a huge source of destroyed relationships and broken homes, depression, and plenty more social maladies.
It’s simply not worth it.

Yeah, I think he just comes to mind first because of the whole “D.A.R.E” thing, and his horrible effects on literally everything are still felt so profoundly today.

This is encouraging if they’re onto something! I’ve been obsessing over it lately, finding some way to actually recycle or at least destroy plastic. Sadly I don’t have that kind of background.
There isn’t gonna be “profit” in this. But man, people are voluntarily putting subdermal chips in themselves to become diet-cyborgs, and gene-hacking plants together in their garages.
Ironically, look at 3D printing and how that exploded! (As well as the very niche research into spooling plastic bottles and stuff into filament!)
Plastics up-cycling or elimination has to be headed by hobbyist hacker types more than anything. It won’t get the grants, it won’t get the government sign-offs, and in sheer mind-blowing stupidity, waste production is projected to increase exponentially in the next coming years.
There’s plenty of people with hard science degrees getting ignored for jobs, getting radicalized just by looking out their window. I know it’s a complicated subject, but coordinating efforts like distributed protein folding and I dunno, limited use of LLM to scientifically predict things…
People way smarter than me gotta be on this already right? We gotta figure this out and open-source it to anybody and everybody who wants to deploy it, before the world’s big players has a chance to do anything to stop us.

I appreciate your gratitude and I really do hope it does some good for others… Especially because I really hate needles but I have it done anyway for this reason. Lol 😬

I’m increasingly seeing neighborhoods where there’s only a sidewalk on one side of the street…and then it terminates for no reason…and then it starts again…
It’s so bizarre.

True! It was then technically named after a meme…which the coin named itself after, as it was supposed to be a “meme coin”.
Still stands though.
“Government agency named after meme. Such dumb. So chaos. Woooooow.” Lol

Oh my gosh that’s so much closer, you’re right. Bet you could totally make a nature-oriented specialization too. :D

I really appreciate this. I’m stuck awake and exhausted too. My house all voted and did what we could, here in NV, but I hate that nagging feeling that it wasn’t enough.
I’m praying to maintain that fervor, that raging fire to believe in good and fortify against coming evil… But it’s one crisis out of our hands to the next, and I’m just so tired. :(
I find myself returning more and more often to
Ephesians 6:12-17
Eph 6:12-18 KJV For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15. And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16. Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18. Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
Sending hopeful feelings for you to wherever else in the country you are.
You too, friend. We’re still here. We’ll get through this one day at a time.

I would totally take you up on that hug there, mein bruder. This feels pretty damn awful. :(
I’m still holding out some kinda vague hope for the “final numbers” but…right now I’m not alone in feeling a little lost and confused at what we’re about to go through and what the heck life will look like in the near future.
A lot of previous elections felt like empty hype and doomsaying but this one feels like we’re gonna feel it immediately.
God help us all.

Also I don’t want more Americans moving here.
I have a sad feeling the rest of the world feels the same way.
I’m at the point where I want to leave these borders. I want to go somewhere relatively quiet and developed that has worker’s rights and isn’t some major player in the game of global domination.
I’d respect my new home and integrate and do my best to get along with my new neighbors.
But I’m pretty sure we’re stuck here to endure this madness.
The rich have already departed though. So you’ll probably end up with less humble American refugees and more pompous real-estate moguls. And for that, I’m sorry.

Why’s this feel like a car-dealership special: Where you negotiate and negotiate and FINALLY they seem to relent…
…but it’s still in their favor and they simply shifted the numbers to different variables so you feel like you’re getting a fair deal…

Probably because in many cases we can’t afford to freakin’ move and resettle in our own country, so it becomes trivia knowledge instead of practical know lol.
