I prefer to walk. 0-60 in 1,892,160,000 seconds.
Not a second too soon. Not a second too late. At one with the world. In perfect motion. Slow. Accurate. Targets hit. Meaning of life or I don’t give a shit.
@Miss_Snuffy Once upon a time the German government thought Jews were bad.
I will think for myself thank you.
This government is dumb, lies all the time, authoritarian in their instincts, & barely competent at politics.
They also keep on doing stuff… that wasn’t in their manifesto.
@Miss_Snuffy So. YouTube is the new smoking ?
Or maybe we just kept on making things safer, & safer, & then safer some more, until nothing made sense anymore…
Next we ban children under 16 from crossing the road unsupervised.
& no road contact after 8:30pm. For 16/17’s
Utter.
Madness.
Suggestions kids won’t be allowed to watch YouTube until they are 16 ?
& even then they won’t be allowed to watch after 8:30pm until 18 ???? Or something like that ?
I refuse to believe this world is real anymore….
Surely this can’t be our government ?
How did this happen ?
@beverleyturner Race relations peaked at “do not be prejudiced”
but then turned into the unnecessary “positive discrimination”
Leading to the inevitable tolerance of
minority led racism,
& a submissive
majority.
“Anti-racism” …has become the new form of racism.
We live in a democracy ?
@stuartbridger1@JonathanWiltsh7@JackHadders@ZiaYusufUK Well if the policy is made part of the manifesto the upper house only gets a few times to say no, then it has to give way to the wishes of the elected lower house.
Part of our “unwritten” constitution.
@JonathanWiltsh7@JackHadders@ZiaYusufUK A Reform government might not be able to do this, but a Reform majority parliament absolutely could.
(Surely you understand the difference ?)
Quite simply..
By…
Changing the law !
& you certainly don’t need
“Then you are an idiot” in civilised debate
The feedback loop of nature vs humanity is like a training wheel,
Much like the one we experience with the algorithm & Ai. Trained on humans. Then the humans trained on the Ai ?
But the natural training wheels of Mother Nature still exist.
Remember.
Nature always wins.
Human creativity is a mystery. How does it happen. Where does it come from ?
Consider the feedback loop of nature & human coexisting, neither with the balance of power,
Perhaps our creative output is the juice squeezed from this, lemon, apple, or whatever
The “Fruit of reality
@ItsLumin_ Totally understand that view. My “For You” seems like it’s for someone else. But I still get value from the accounts I follow, & have always liked jumping into peoples replies etc… so I stick around & tolerate the ways it has gotten worse.
Twitter has decided I should see lots of Stevie Ray Vaughan & …. The Bangles, apparently.
Not complaining.
Much better than the stupid fight videos.
I am aware that I annoy the opinion intolerant.
I do the best I can to temper & filter myself, but sometimes, I am sure I say too much.
But I would like to take an opportunity to apologise right now to any that ever got too much of it, too quickly, or too soon.
Thank you.
The value of art comes in the process of doing.
The value of being a good person comes within the value of seeking to be one.
Both of these have an expense to be paid.
Their value is received in ways beyond physical understanding.
But,
You will know it when it feels right.
@DanNeidle Additional question… do you think the person that made that error should be held responsible for the political ramifications of one of its, or even its only ? shareholder ?
Tax accounting is not politics… should they lose their job ?
@DanNeidle So if his company broke the law… who at his company is responsible for that “error” & what are the consequences for them personally ? Limited companies are by law treated as “persons” in order to protect those working for them from legal consequences, since we all make mistakes.
@g_gosden Education gets you a better job. That pays for the better house in the better location where the problems society has are less visible. You vote on issues you were never educated in…
Economics
Taxation policy
Social integration…
Bins
How many of those educated studied these ?
If two people were arguing their case in the same room, physical proximity would temper their language & they would show more respect to each other.
But they only do this under the risk of physical violence… so is real world debate actually better than hate on the internet ?
@RmSalih Why is it always “if he said the same thing about Jews” ?
Jews are a small minority in the UK, & low worldwide population of about 15.7 million. Their behaviour is not similar to Muslims either.
Why not “if he said the same about Hindus” ??
Also a false comparison, but still…
If you want to achieve things,
introduce expectations.
If you want to be happy
Remove expectations.
Some things in life’s complex maze,
of options, are very simple…
But it’s usually the simple things
That you cannot see.
