Well, you can’t be considered creative if all you do is accuse others of something you are actually doing. One thing is taking inspiration from reality, another is just to take reality as it is an alter what may point towards you.

Ain’t that right? At least leftist conspiracies could be more creative and entertaining than something as silly as “child molesting pizza parties in a pizza joint basement.”

All I read there is a “we investigated ourselves and saw no wrongdoing” kind of deal, with the extra steps of collusion between government organizations and judges in their pockets.

Having a parade for a country that has allowed itself to become what Israel has become does not make any sense.

I was never told, but I always assumed it was to orient yourself without looking, and that’s where the index fingers go when hands are resting on the keyboard.

Nothing bad in having some variety.

Maybe they’ll come up with stuff the other team didn’t and both improve that way.

Something like capsules of sodium that will only break once in the system would be much more expensive.

They vote whoever their priests tell them to vote for, because apparently, church-state separation was something made up by woke liberals or something.

Let’s kill the mothers, that’ll save the children.

Makes perfect sense.

I love the documentary about that gif.

If you have to kill someone to get organs, that’s lower in the list than getting organs from someone who is already dead. Getting organs if the family gives consent causes less pain than the organs being donated, so it goes higher on the list. So the most humane way to get organ donations goes to the top of the list.

If you counterfeit, you devalue the currency, and you cause harm to those who own that currency because they effectively lose wealth, so it’s lower in the list than earning the currency.

Power plants produce power. That’s an utility. A public service.

Public services can’t be privatized, or they inevitably enshitify. And they can’t be fully under government control, or a bad government can also ruin them, like when right wingers take over and start destroying public services to excuse privatization.

Without a benevolent AI like in the Culture books, the next best thing is public ownership with independent public oversight.

In person only a few times. For example, one of my relatives had a boyfriend who gave me a really creepy vibe.
He ended up being a controlling type with trust issues.
After the relative broke up with him, he appeared at the doorstep bleeding from cuts on his wrists.
Another relative had another biyfriend that gave me the vibe and he turned out to be a cheating bastards and a scammer who was only under control because of his mom, and when his mom died he went full unleashed. Now they are still in litigation over a piece of land he convinced the relative to buy, but now refuses to buy or sell, so the relative is stuck with that crap. The only reason to keep that is if he wants to get the whole terrain for free, or keep things like that to cause distress and harm my relative.

On the other hand, one guy that I don’t like at all because he’s a very right-wing fascy type, doesn’t give me that vibe, and he’s been really good with another relative despite me not liking him and putting in my relative’s head all sorts of right-wing ideas I don’t like at all.
He may be wrong, but he isn’t ‘bad’, if you can get what I mean.

It happened to me with many disgraced celebrities, but so far the worst one has been Leonardo DiCaprio. After The Beach, he gives me a horribly bad vibe. Strangely enough, it doesn’t happen with anything he did before The Beach.

Whatever horrible thing he did that stained his soul to such a degree, it must have happened between Celebrity and the end of filming The Beach. It’s as if he became 25, went to Thailand, and did something that turned him evil or something.

They want kids out of universities because it’s the sharing of ideas that pushes bad ideas out.

Once the entire workforce is uneducated menial workers, they’ll just replace them with robots.

Yeah. The best possible outcome after a situation like this is the victim not being harmed in any way, so the perpetrator is denied the satisfaction of causing harm.

Generation IV power plants can be designed so that they are physically incapable of going into meltdown. And the technology is getting better and better at reusing the waste.

So, of course, one would prefer a nuclear power plant.

If anything, we really need to update old power plants and replace all other non-renewable plants with cleaner power, renewable or not.

After seeing the solar roofs in Aleppo, I think all cities should be like that.

Silver linings.

Good.

The more of this they do, the more people move to federated sites.

MAGA is great research on how much you can scam someone before they go full Bastille on your ass.
