And apparently thr fundees really like blue eyes…

Youre absolutely right. I would like to add in the “reddit” model. Why things make it to the front page is kind of the same comment. Two people could post the same thing at the same time. One goes viral and to the front page where millions will see it, one might get 10 views. One comment on a post, when funny, right in the before that post takes off, can get 30k likes. Its all timing and being the one that gets initially off the ground. Ive always wondered though, how easy would it be for reddit to pick the winners and losers? Bot accounts and fake upvotes, even just a little bit in the beginning, could put it on “trending” and get it to the front page and the “algorithm” could put it in everyone’s feed. Are you seeing what naturally won or what they wanted you to see? Did facebook naturally win or was it what they wanted to win?..

What the hell did i just read…

I’m sorry, i can’t pronounce that, I dont want it.

And a brake job probably wont run you $1200…

And then a website about proving the existence of sea monsters…

This is amazing, it took me to a US battleship website and then enrons website

Ive loved radio garden for a few years now. Its so fun to just click a random city in the world and just listen to whatever they are doing. I remember randomly listening to a music station from some island above scotland for an entire day and came out of it with like 10 bands i had never heard of before that are now a part of my rotation.

Did you know, the government of any country can do this for any service? Government sponsered amazon anyone?

Well done

Its also liability. Doing nothing has been successfully argued in court over and over. If they do things and bad things happen because of it, they can be held liable. I think there are some cops who would definitely jump in there, but i agree that most wouldnt put themselves in that situation.

You dont think hes been part of a thing at some point where they take the pineal gland out of a living person?..

I think youre actually agreeing in a round about way. The ceo is beholden to the shareholders who just want the stock price to go up. You have to pay a ceo that much money because they see the books, they see the profit, they have a hard job to do selling out their own employees. How much does your soul cost? Well, for some ceos its 20 million. Theyre the train conductor running the train down the rails of profit over people.

Im going home and binging it

Adam sandler had a running joke on one of his albums where the guy trying to laid just keeps namong it wrong and failing.

There is something to be said about institutions though. When more people are part of what seems to be an upstanding institution, the more they are inclined to protect the secret in order to protect the institution and its reputation. There are a lot of examples of this. For instance the catholic church, penn state, the trump oligarchy, nasa…

What i find intersting and encouraging is that saying what you just said 20 years ago people would completely dismiss any line of thinking like this. Now, if i said something similar to someone in an elevator they would engage and want to discuss it. Change might actually be possible if minds were more open to the headroom possible.

And they have to be completely completely broke. They take everything. So either you lose everything or just give all your money to eldercare. Its quite heartbreaking, my wife is in long term care. Its quite standard protocol to dump people in homeless shelters if they cant pay. Even if something is going to kick in soon and they’ll be able to pay soon enough, a one month lapse and youre out. I could write all kinds of stuff about this.

When youre a vegetarian meat just smells like a rotting corpse

What we need to do is basically have a movement to tell any politician that if they approve any military budget above 1b, we will not elect them next election. We need a movement of actually voting for sane people with sane policy. Everyone is all “crazy grandpa has a gun and hes trying to destroy everything”. Well, crazy grandpa just asked for 1.5 trillion dollars to buy more shit to mess more shit up. Don’t give him any money. If a crazy person walked up to you and said, “give me 1.5 trillion to mess everything up” no one would give them that money. Lets instead maybe invest in education? Healthcare? Social saftey nets?
