I love that one … you get reborn endlessly until you eventually live every single life in the universe.

You are essentially the only life in the universe. You are everything and everyone that ever lived.

What a profound awakening it would be if we/us/you suddenly realized this.

MAP … Minor-attracted person, a euphemism for pedophile

the things you learn about on the internet

A very strong reminder to all mid level right wing mouth pieces that they are all expendable. That they can be sent to the public to sow devision but not have the protection from the dangers they create … or at the most extreme be martyred by their own followers and leaders to push their agenda.

I’ll never trust America to tell me the truth about any major public event like this … this is the same country that murdered their own president for their dumb right wing agenda and got away with it.

lol … conservatives would be the first to happily just get rid of cross walks altogether … both to not acknowledge LGBTQ+ and also to give more freedom to vehicles and get rid of “pedestrians”

Gotta keep grandma entertained in the afterlife. I’m sure playing the harp and praising the lord every day can get boring after a while.

“Poverty exists not because we cannot feed the poor, but because we cannot satisfy the rich,”

As an example of how stupid our global civilization is … Africa has more than enough wealth and natural resources to produce all the food and water it needs to feed its own people without any outside influence or control. Unfortunately, first world countries have such a stranglehold on African nations and governments that they are forever beholden to foreign aid and manipulation that they will never be able to pay off their debts … which means African will forever pay first world countries and never be capable of standing on their own.

Also, I’ve been sober from alcohol and drugs for close to 30 years now … and I’m perfectly aware of all this and think about this stuff all the time. We don’t need mind altering drugs to understand how stupid, greedy and corrupt our world is, has always been and will always be until we destroy ourselves and free this planet of our own stupidity.

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.

It’s a well known method in social media now

If you want an honest answer from someone, you don’t ask them directly, because they won’t respond.

Instead you confidently give the wrong answer … then wait for everyone to honestly correct you immediately.

Those supposed people that have ‘nothing’ … do have something of value -> their labour and energy.

The wealthy class see them all as a cheap source of autonomous labour to be exploited for their own needs. It’s a hell of lot cheaper to round up several hundred indentured labourers or semi professional humans than it is to try to build or develop some new AI or robots when you have a steady supply of humans to do the work for you … and the cheaper you can pay them, the more money you can make off them.

And the easiest way to control those masses of poor is to keep them fed … let them have enough access to food to stay alive and struggle a bit … but never allow them to starve or go without any food because they will violently rebel. So it’s best to keep these masses of poor people fed just enough to keep them from rioting and wanting to kill their owner class. Wealthy owners learned their lesson over millennia, every historic societal revolution usually happened because the poor faced starvation and death … if you allow people to have absolutely nothing and no hope for the future, they will kill themselves and everyone around them willingly to try to change the system and overthrow any and all oppressors.

Oh yeah … this is Arch by the way

Wasn’t there a similar promise made by Reddit at some point? I remember people referring it to often until it became just some myth … and then at one point, people just realized it was never going to change and then it became a full blown private corporation that wanted an IPO and became a monolith that never even considered sharing anything.

ARE YOU FREAKIN NUTS!!! DON’T SAY THAT!!!

It won’t be version 3.1.4!!! … it will turn into version 3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105820974944592307816406286208998628034825342117067982148086513282306647093844609550582231725359408128481174502841027019385211055596446229489549303819644288109756659334461284756482338678316527120190914564856692346034861045432664821339360726024914127372458700660631558817488152092096282925409171536436789259036001133053054882046652138414695194151160943305727036575959195309218611738193261179310511854807446237996274956735188575272489122793818301194912983367336244065664308602139494639522473719070217986094370277053921717629317675238467481846766940513200056812714526356082778577134275778960917363717872146844090122495343014654958537105079227968925892354201995611212902196086403441815981362977477130996051870721134999999837297804995105973173281609631859502445945534690830264252230825334468503526193118817101000313783875288658753320838142061717766914730359825349042875546873115956286388235378759375195778185778053217122680661300192787661119590921642019893809525720106548586327886593615338182796823030195203530185296899577362259941389124972177528347913151557485724245415069595082953311686172785588907509838175463746493931925506040092770167113900984882401285836160356370766010471018194295559619894676783744944825537977472684710404753464620804668425906949129331367702898915210475216205696602405803815019351125338243003558764024749647326391419927260426992279678235478163600934172164121992458631503028618297455570674983850549458858692699569092721079750930295532116534498720275596023648066549911988183479775356636980742654252786255181841757467289097777279380008164706001614524919217321721477235014144197356854816136115735255213347574184946843852332390739414333454776241686251898356948556209921922218427255025425688767179049460165346680498862723279178608578438382796797668145410095388378636095068006422512520511739298489608412848862694560424196528502221066118630674427862203919494504712371378696095636437191728746776465757396241389086583264599581339047802759009946576407895126946839835259570982582262052248940772671947826848260147699090264013639443745530506820349625241749399651431429809190659250937221696461515709858387410597885959772975498930161753928468138268683868942774155991855925245953959431049972524680845987273644695848653836736222626099124608051243884390451244136549762780797715691435997700129616089441694868555848406353422072225828488648158456028506016842739452267467678895252138522549954666727823986456596116354886230577456498035593634568174324112515076069479451096596094025228879710893145669136867228748940560101503308617928680920874760917824938589009714 … and keep going until the end of time!!!

After this version … GIMP won’t receive its next update until number PI is resolved!!! Which will be never!!!

So why does everyone keep referring to Bluesky as decentralized or even comparable to the fediverse

Bluesky is the newest iteration of privately owned and controlled social media

Produced by Pornhub

… they might have already done this, come to think of it

Lol … US law is becoming less and less relevant or meaningful as time goes on

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

Get rid of billionaires and we can talk

That sounds better

… as they’re talking to a random dog they met in the park

Billionaires planning on going off planet to save themselves is a joke. Even if they built a bunker for themselves in a remote place is not practical.

Once our planets environment starts killing us, we’re all unsafe. Billionaires might last longer but their military and security will kill everyone including their leaders once society break down. When civilization dissolves it won’t matter if you tell people you’re a billionaire. The survivors will be the ones who take over violently and kill everyone else to save themselves.

And even if you could plan on building a safe haven in space … you need tens of thousands of willing workers to build that and make it possible. As the world is falling apart, I don’t think thousands of professionals will be dedicating their time to save just a few people knowing that everyone else is going to suffer and die.

That’s the silver lining to all of this … as macabre as it sounds … no matter how rich or powerful you think you are, we are all equally doomed.
