America may be behind but sadly quite a few countries seem to keen on racing it right to the bottom. Nobody seems to learn from all the mistakes it is making.

The big problem is that we’re not just up against plain stupidity, we’re also up against organised and weaponised stupidity that is being enabled and fanned by those in power and the media, and also their billionaire backer donors, who want to drag us all the way back to the medieval ages.

That’s much more sadistic and worse than plain stupidity which we are all guilty of from time to time until we learn better. With organised and weaponised stupidity, they don’t want us to learn better, because our ignorance benefits their wallets.

That terminal he is typing on is pretty much the physical ancestor of the terminal emulators we use today in Linux!

Yeah, the sound quality is pretty bad!

I’m now more glad than ever that Reddit banned me when they did, I would have hated to see it yet again becoming even more worse.

I’ll often order stuff from Ebay/Amazon even though the shop is right next door. It’s partial anxiety but also mostly pure laziness.

Weren’t elders/shamans/gurus looked up to as sort of spiritual and worldly advisor/authority figures back then? Granted, it’s not the same as being a chief/leader, but they talked, and their community listened and generally followed their advice.

Explorers 1985! I love this movie to bits and never knew it was considered a flop until recently.

If it helps the nights began to get longer again on the 22nd of June, the day after the longest day of the year! That’s what keeps me going.

We’re advising her to be cautious, not advising her to call the whole thing off. What’s so wrong with that?

It’s quite possible that he is indeed a generous person, but still be careful. Truly generous people like that are very far and few in between, at least in my own experience, so most are usually that nice early on when they want something from you. Not trying to put him down, because we don’t know him… But be careful.

Yeah! I feel like the old man yelling at the cloud, only yelling at the sun instead lmao

Nope it can’t. Thankfully we passed the summer solstice, the longest day of the year back on the 21st, so the nights are already getting longer and longer. My countdown to Christmas has already begun hehe! 🎄 😁

How long have you known him? If you two have only just met or met very recently then it’s very weird behaviour for sure. Heck it’s a little weird him being this forward so soon, if you did know each other only as friends before this.

I haven’t been able to sleep all night due to the heat, so feeling grumpy and groggy, total opposite to the weather 😴
