I was in rural northern Ontario … we had about the same … except that instead of PBS we had TVO, our provincial public broadcaster, and together with CBC, the two were basically our PBS … every morning was watching ‘The Friendly Giant’ before heading off to school

The disaster comes in many forms … a common one that many rich people take advantage of is … the disaster of having a wealthy relative die to receive the inheritance.

The corruption to them is that dead voters don’t stay dead and have the audacity to actually be alive.

Lol … this is how the AI takeover starts

First we get inconvenienced by having a few things shut down in our office, then we start seeing pieces of the internet fall apart … once we start seeing memes being made about it all … the nuclear weapons have already launched and we only have about 40 minutes before we realize that the end has already started.

Some of us will just see the bright white flash and shock wave.

Most of us will start getting mad because the internet isn’t working any more, no TV, no radio and we won’t know about the apocalypse until we step outside and start asking other confused people about what happened.

If you look back on your family history, there is sure to be an individual or two who took part in a war of some sort … and for whichever side it may be. And it doesn’t matter what side of a conflict anyone is on because it is always the same … the ones who start a war or are shouting the loudest for it, are usually not the ones fighting it (they also actively do not want to include their children or families in it either).

The remembrance I always try to point out to people is to remember the fallen and the broken soldiers that became part of any war … that means all the fighting men and women on either side of a conflict … because in the end, no matter what your perspective, everyone is coerced by their leadership (whether democratic or authoritarian or fascist) to convince good people to fight for whatever cause has gripped their nation at the time. Most people the world over and across time would rather live a quiet peaceful life than to take part in global politics to kill other people because kings, queens, politicians and corporate heads are having a disagreement about something.

The remembrance I’m talking about is to remember why we fight, why we start wars and what the root causes of these conflicts are.

That is how we honour the dead of the past, by remembering not to do these same things or to lead to these same circumstances again in the future.

Several generations of people grew up watching a dozen TV shows and a few movies … generations before that just read books … and endless generations before that just talked to each other retelling stories to one another … I think we can exist by just watching less.

I’ve got several subscriptions on the go right now and the more I think about it, the more I realize, I don’t need all this junk and if there is something I really want to watch for some reason … I’ll go sail the high seas and get it myself.

Every company should run on the Orange Orangutan’s advice … great idea.

I wish American news would stop reporting on what Democrats MIGHT do … and just report on what they already did.

They keep pumping this endless hope fountain and its getting tiring … I’d rather hear about what was actually done rather than listening to the possibilities.

I know he isn’t running for leadership … what I’m point out is that your leadership and even your spokespeople have to always be old people in positions of power … and it’s OK to have older wiser people in power but over the past few decades that idea has become farcical because you are being led by a government of 70 and 80 year olds

Holy crap America … you need an ancient wizard to tell you to get rid of the dinosaur in your midst?

I love Bernie Saunders and I think he’s great … but you really need to get some younger people into positions of power to get you through the next few decades or you’ll be thrown under the bus of more progressive countries around the world or else you’ll just fall under a total facist state because your elderly leadership was easily coerced.

Yup there it is … America’s false hope to do something meaningful and doesn’t follow through with it

You don’t disappoint me by disappointing me

It’s not so much that new tech is bad … new tech could be made to be ten times safer than what we have now.

The problem is that the new tech is controlled by psychopaths who want to squeeze as much profit out of everything imaginable … imagine all that new tech controlling air traffic but its all locked up by proprietary software that would hold entire airports, agencies and governments hostage, or be made available to the highest bidder and even for international opponents or enemies … and all of it up for grabs for profit and regardless of morals, ethics or human decency.

lol … when you install fascist leaning authoritarian minded power mongers into positions of leadership … don’t act surprised if they don’t want to leave when you don’t like them any more.

or for rendering AI porn … so much AI porn

Better yet, rent our unused brain space and let corporations use that wasted brain energy for their server farms … great income for the average person who seldom uses their brains. Then we could use that income to buy credits to have AI think for us … circle of life.

Yeah … I’m not trusting American to do anything right any more. They keep repeating the pattern of ‘do stupid things’, ‘keep doing stupid things’, ‘hey guys I’ve stopped doing stupid things and I’m going to give you hope’, … then revert back to ‘do stupid things’ again … over and over.

It wouldn’t be so bad with any other country. The problem with the US is that they have such a big effect on the rest of the world due to the size of their military. It’s like having a really dumb neighbour and you can’t say or do anything about them because they have a really unhealthy number of machine guns and military grade weapons in, on and all over their house that everyone can see.
