- Comment on The USA prided itself on a nation of immigrant, heck even the Statue of Liberty says it. When did immigrants (US citizens from the old world) become anti immigrant and why? 1 hour ago:
It was always racism at it’s core.
European immigrants accepted immigrants as long as they were other European immigrants. At the same time they were encouraging immigrants, they were systematically eliminating the original inhabitants or forcing them to assimilate to European culture.
It’s always been a variation of white nationalism … they don’t mind the world becoming more open and inclusive … as long as it only includes other white European people and cultures.

When America had a president with a brain and had consensual extramarital sex with someone.
Instead of a brain dead orange bean bag for a leader who committed multiple sex offenses and is linked to offenses of rape and pedophilia.

Good god this hits home
Months ago I was visited by a relative who brought their eight year old. She’s single and her boy is ever so slightly mentally not there. He’s smart enough but just not there with everything. Plus the mother is not capable of looking after him. So many wrong things and I hate to judge anything about it … both mother and son are having and will continue to have a hard life.
As we talked, the son spent the entire time with their device looking at YouTube videos.
At one point I wanted to try to make friends and asked him what he was watching … he mumbled and ignored me. I looked over at his video and it was just a completely nonsensical animation of characters running around like in a video game … I couldn’t understand what was happening or why, the cartoon animals were just mumbling nonsense, laughing, running and flashing lights and constant cuts to new scene after new scene. I looked at the kid and he was two steps away from just drooling.
I couldn’t believe it and it scared me. This device was melting any amount of brain power the kid had.
It made me think about myself and what the hell I was doing with my time.
It made me think that the world is all doing the same thing to one degree or another. Some are better, since are terribly worse.
It made me think that humanity is doomed.

Would have been appropriate as the name Lucifer is Latin for “light-bringer” and originally referred to the planet Venus in ancient folklore … en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucifer
It wasn’t until modern times that we all forgot about the origins of the name and just associated it to some demonic spirit that lives in hell. Old ancient traditions are more complex and elaborate than our simplistic ideas of right/wrong, good/bad, heaven/hell, angel/demon.
In one of the books by Arthur C Clark that are sequel to 2001: A Space Odyssey … (spoiler alert for anyone who hasn’t read the books yet) … future civilizations end up collapsing Jupiter, a gas giant that is thought to be a failed double star to our sun … when Jupiter collapses into a new smaller star, it is named ‘Lucifer’ - the bringer of light

lol … it would be like an alien species flying around in a floating spaceship over a city and using a floodlight that emits powerful xrays to view everything around it, blasting everyone with radiation that will make everyone sick and unwell … all the while the aliens capturing documentary footage of this planet full of life they’ve never seen before.
- Comment on here there be lions 1 week ago:
Lone wolves are usually sick or unwell … and have usually been made to leave the group because they are a threat … and often are desperate and dangerous because they have to survive on their own which is near impossible and they won’t last very long until they can find a group that will accept them.

Sex is sex and our attitudes and ideas change over time.
The way you feel sexually is not the same as a few years ago and it won’t be the same ten years, 20 years or thirty years from now.
There is no rule or regulation that says straight people stay straight or gay people stay gay all their lives or that they should or shouldn’t perform in one way or another.
Sex is sex
As long as both of you are mutually consenting, safe and taken care of … it doesn’t matter what you do or who you do it with.
Have fun

It would be economically viable up to a certain age. And if you maintained a certain age average, costs could be easily maintained to sustainable levels.
When you start analyzing the world and people as a series of costs and expenses, it’s very easy to find solutions.
As humans, we’ve already done that many times before … most recently in the 1940s on an industrial scale … we are capable of doing it again.

“Poverty exists not because we cannot feed the poor, but because we cannot satisfy the rich.”
The problem with the world’s resources is not how it is distributed but rather how it is controlled and owned by a very small group of people at the expense of everyone else on the planet.
Honestly if we just got rid of and outlawed the idea of billionaires, a lot of the world’s problems would be easily solved … it wouldn’t create a utopia because we’ll always be wild angry fearful apes but it would be a hell of a lot better world than the circus we have now.

- Comment on Sorry 2 weeks ago:
Having to ask continously for positive feedback is usually a sign that you are a shitty app or person.
If you are genuinely good at what you do or provide a valuable service or activity … people will be willing to say so on their own.
Reminding people for feedback might remind some people to say something positive, because people are lazy and don’t usually comment.
But if you remind often, all the time and badger them, then it’s usually a sign you don’t have anything valuable to offer and you’re just marketing something as hard as possible.
- Comment on I knew I should have cancelled the order 😑 2 weeks ago:
‘The customer is always right’ … doesn’t mean anything any more.
Don’t get me wrong - actual customers will always have no power no matter what platform there is.
The problem these days is that sellers, competitors, marketers and salesmen have co-opted the idea of ‘customers’ to screw over the entire system for everyone - customers and sellers.
Whatever you do in online sales, whether it is selling or buying … never trust anyone and don’t promise anything beyond what you are originally expected to do.
Capitalism is like a cancer that invades, infects and destroys everything it touches. When you think it about the definitions for successful capitalism and cancer are exactly the same … runaway, unrestricted and unlimited growth is the goal.
