Then we learned that if you wanted to get the right answer from people … all you had to do was confidently post an answer, any answer, especially if it was wrong … and so many people would jump on you so fast to tell you how stupid you were and give you the right answer.

… and you also had to tie an onion on your belt which was the style of the time.

I’m all for public health care for everyone in this country and I do everything I can to support and fight for it.

But we have to stop thinking of it as a ‘right’ … it’s a privilege that can be taken away by those in power and those with money … and given enough time and resources, they could have their way and remove this ‘right’ of ours.

We have to stop believing in this magical thing that can’t be touched called ‘a right’ … sure it sounds like a great idea but those ‘rights’ can be removed, ignored, sidelined or bypassed if enough money is used.

We have to actively keep fighting for these so called ‘right to healthcare’ … because the for-profit private health care supporters and owners are constantly fighting everyone else to break it all down.

If we don’t fight back now … we won’t be able to fight back later

A man looking for companionship … drains the energy of a small nation and is still unable to find love

I thought you were describing an event or a process or that something happened … rather than in naming a place and location.

Is the analogy like giving access to a nuclear reactor to users and giving them access to AI to help them run the nuclear plant by allowing the AI to give users the most common answers and responses into how to run a nuclear power plant.

so you could use one of those minecraft worlds that built an entire computer, cpu, ram, memory and graphics system in world

Keep the modem and GPS running … just install it with a lithium battery or wire it directly to a vehicle battery system and place the unit on a school bus or local city transit bus

Or someone could start a small business offering to do this for people … the business would be to just rent out space on a moving van or transport truck and just fill it with GPS and modem units that have been removed from cars … for a nominal fee ($1 a week for example), you keep all these units powered and just have the truck driven around everywhere working as a regular delivery vehicle.

A river was damned with water and turned millions of gallons of water in order to give us this digital abomination

I’ve read before that dogs can achieve a level of intelligence of a human four year old (or thereabouts).

So your conversations with your dog would sound very monotonous and tiring after a few years. It sounds cute at first … but after telling your friend “everything its OK” for the thousandth time after ten years … and you still have to explain things … it would get pretty tiring.

Us poor people treat fines, charges, lawyers and court proceedings as deterrents against doing certain things … especially if they are illegal.

Rich people treat fines, charges, lawyers and court proceedings as the cost of doing business … and it doesn’t matter if its legal or illegal to them … they just throw money at everything and they don’t care if it’s right or wrong or moral or immoral.

Other than that classic front grill and round headlights … those things are just glorified hatchbacks with a lift-kit

I’M A MIDDLE AGED WHITE MALE?

I don’t care what we’re doing, because I know I’m all set!

True … but even African hunters in the hot weather aren’t tracking and running down prey every hour of the day every day … hunting animals, especially large animals is a one time event. It’s done once, provides a big source of food, the food gets processed, hopefully preserved for a while and it nourishes people for a period of time, usually several days or even weeks … then the hunters restart the process again.

What many people ignore about the whole hunter / gatherer lifestyle is the amount of hunger and starvation that goes along with it. Just because someone says they are a full time hunter … doesn’t always mean that they are capable of going into the wilderness, finding an animal, killing it and eating it that day. It is all dependent on luck and if the resources are available at the time … and that can change due to weather, timing, seasons, cycles and a dozen other things. Before the modern era, my parents had stories of starvation and famine happening here in northern Ontario 70/80 years ago.

There’s a reason why human evolution moved into the agricultural revolution because it was a more stable food source for everyone.

Hunting and gathering is always glorified as the epitome of apex human activity … but no one ever counts the millions and millions of hunter/gatherers that died along the way because they were just unlucky and couldn’t find enough food.

The problem is not that these wealthy owners and political insiders are doing this …

… the main problem is an entire country of complacent morons that allow it all to happen, passively support it, casually ignore it, pretend it isn’t like that and vote accordingly to put these idiots or idiots like them back into power every single time.

I’m Indigenous and I grew up in northern Ontario in a hunter and gatherer family of hunters and trappers. We did wake up at 4am to go travel, work, set things up, gather and maintain equipment … so that everything was set for the day. Then when the day came, you know what? … we sat around and rested as much as we could which was hours of just resting. Because evening would come and you had to prepare for the night. Then rinse and repeat.

Apex shit was all about conserving energy to survive. If nothing was happening, you rested as long and as much as possible because there will come a time when you will need to expend a terrible amount of energy in a short period of time to get work done, to carry out a hunt or to remedy a serious problem.

If you are expending energy all day, every day non stop … you’re doing it for someone else’s benefit and you will burn yourself out.

It’s like a clown painting a big giant bulls-eye hundreds of feet round, in big bright white and red, so that it can be seen from 30,000 feet and placing themselves at the very center of it and challenging everyone around that no one could possibly hit him with anything.

This just goes to show how stupid this idiot is … building a bunker on a Hawaiian island? … no better way to make yourself a target than to build your shelter in the middle of the ocean surrounded by nothing. … and even if no one goes after you … you would still have nothing.

It’s like the “Love, Death & Robots” episode 'Three Robots: Exit Strategies" - Season 3 Episode 1

Robot 1: The people who built the seasteads were mostly tech millionaires.
Robot 2: What exactly is a tech millionaire? It’s a lot like a regular millionaire, but with a hoodie and crippling social anxiety.
Robot 3: That wasn’t helpful at all.
Robot 2: Just like a tech millionaire.
Robot 1: These humans thought technology would save them, so they left behind any humans with the practical skills to run the place.
Robot 1: Instead, they trusted everything to automated assistants.

Lol … city and multiple traffic tickets to families … “You have parked your ash in a no ash parking zone, please move your ash or your ash will be towed”

lol … I’d create a program where it made the empty unused holodeck look like it was filled with all sorts of strange fluids and liquids that need to be cleaned.
