All valid points. Highjacking this comment to share a good use for AI: I have been using Deepseek to run a solo DnD campaign. If you give it a rule sheet it’s really good for a few days.

Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masturbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men masturbating together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW

This movie (John Q) is so fucking sad and could not happen in other countries. I always remember the wife yelling at John to “Do something!” when the hospital was sending their son home.

How does this formula account for the fact that I can’t do math? Bet you didn’t think of that.

In early stages, the meditator sharpens their powers of attention. In later stages, the meditator no longer has scattered attention (i.e., “monkey brain”) and can focus effortlessly. So the monkey disappears. Excerpt from “The Mind Illuminated”:
The Ten Stages of Meditation: The monk is the meditator. The rope he holds represents vigilant, alert mindfulness. The goad in his other hand represents strong intention and firm resolve. The elephant represents the mind. The black color of the elephant represents the Five Hindrances and the Seven Problems they give rise to. The monkey represents scattering of attention, and the black color represents subtle and gross distraction, forgetting, and mind-wandering. The rabbit represents subtle dullness. The flames represent vigilance and effort, and when effort is no longer required, the flames disappear. The length of the road between successive Stages indicates the relative time required to progress from one Stage to the next. The Stages come closer together until Stage Seven, then they begin to stretch out again. Because the road folds back, it is possible to jump up to higher Stages or fall back to lower ones.

Yes, the decline of our institutions is more blatant now. But it’s a difference of degree, not of kind.
- Congresspersons, on the left and right, have been insider trading for decades.
- The SCOTUS ruled that corporations are people that have unlimited “free speech” with their money.
- Trump bombed Iran without congressional approval but before this Biden bombed Yemen.
- Bush started targeting terrorists with drones and now the U.S. president can order drone strikes. (Some have called Obama a war criminal due to excessive civilian casualties resulting from drone strikes. But Americans don’t really care about this.)
- Bush sent “enemy combatants” to Guantanamo Bay without due process. Now Trump sends “illegal aliens” to detention camps without due process.
- The CIA has brazenly declassified many covert operations to stop the spread of communism. Including installing brutal dictators and interfering with democratic elections. (They admit to doing this but, again, Americans do not care.)
- Questionable wars in Asia and the Middle East that feed the military industrial complex and make a well-positioned few unimaginably wealthy.
- Bush and Obama both bailed out corporations that are “too big to fail”.
You likely disagree with some of these examples. But my point is only this: Trump is the symptom of a disease that we have ignored for far too long. We all pledged allegiance to the flag in school. We are learned that America stands for liberty, justice, equality, etc. for all. But this country has never lived up to those professed ideals.
