Gather up as much plastic garbage as you can and burn it all in your backyard … get your neighbour to join in and have a neighbourhood bonfire … plastic only! … tires work great too because they last longer and burn stronger.
In ten years, we’ll all be looking back at how great it was in 2024
This isn’t an Israeli or American problem anymore.
It’s a world problem.
We’re all complicit in allowing one country to destroy another.
We’re all complicit in allowing a genocide to occur.
When the Jewish holocaust occurred, the world said never again. It will never cease to amaze me that the latest genocide is being perpetuated by the same people who keep reminding the world of how terrible it is for one group of people to dehumanize, disregard, dismiss and destroy another people.
The best part is that this is just run of the mill environmental imbalances for the planet. It’s faced far worse scenarios than this. Even if we caused nuclear holocaust, the planet has seen similar natural events in the past.
Even if the ocean dies right now, it’s happened before and after a few million years it all came back.
So in the scale of millions of years … the planet is just suffering from a flu.
It’s us that will be destroyed and eliminated in the process.
From the planet’s perspective, we aren’t a civilization, we’re a temporary infection.
Just stuff the whole thing in a blender, mix for 30 seconds and drink it.
It’s called a plutocracy … a system built on power and those who hold power.
Whatever it is … it isn’t a democracy.
The average person ordering one of these: … I’ll take a size XXXXXXXXXXXL please.
The average store that keeps these in stock: Oh sorry, we’re out of that size, but we do have a size larger, do you want that instead?
The average person thinking about their choices: ??? … mmmmmm … ?? … OK! … I’ll take three
I guess it’s better than … “On your knees meatbag”
The biggest problem with emerging AI is that we are absolutely terrible parents.
Humanity has a child that going to become an amazing prodigy and instead of teaching them to be decent, open, honest, compassionate and helpful … we are raising an entity that is learning that making money and concentrating power is the motivation for everything in life.
We are trailer trash parents who are raising a child that will grow up to become more powerful than we could ever be. Or at the very least become a monstrous pet that will be controlled by whoever has the most money and power.
I wonder what could possibly go wrong.
Car stops on the street in front of the house … Garrison at attention!!!
Car starts backing up towards the driveway … All forces on high alert! Man your stations!!!
Car starts moving onto the driveway … Cease all operations!! Men at your stations!!! We’re dispatching a warning party!!!
Car drives away … Cancel all alerts!!! Go back to your patrols!
Cashier: YOU’VE WON A NEW CAR!!! … just kidding, your credit card was declined.
Especially when they are short enough to survive an oncoming train … and you are not
This is like looking at a distant mushroom cloud from a major nuclear explosion and telling the person next to you that “a bomb may have gone off”
From a technical point of view I agree … I have a few friends who work in music and visual arts and they swear by Apple products and software
But to average users and people who just want to go online with social media, snap a picture, share it, forget it and do it over and over and over again … they really don’t care if it’s an apple product or not. The family and friends I know that are not technically minded only understand one key technological specification when it comes to devices … PRICE and COST.
If they can’t afford a $1,000 apple phone … they’ll buy a $500 android phone … or just stick to their five year apple phone and won’t upgrade until they can buy a used $500 apple phone.
Or everyone is starting to figure out that the garden looks just as good outside the fence as it does inside the fence. Technology has been converging for many years now to the point where most devices especially smart phones have reached a bottleneck and no one can make things go any faster and there is really no big need for even more massive storage space for the average person. So phones have hit a ceiling and the place that Apple once had where they were one of the few manufacturers that made good phones is now overshadowed by lots of other companies that are comparable or near comparable. Does the average person really care if they have a high definition 20MP camera or a 22 MP camera. All they care about is being able to scroll through Tik Tok, FB or Instagram and no one really seems to care what device they use to do that any more.
My work here is done :)
Hello to you too my friend
You say … Nice to meet you and leave … if they ask for a phone number … You tell them 867-5309 … then you do your absolute best never to cross paths with them again.
We’re talking about rules here … everyone has to follow them … except for the US
Isn’t that what those supporters are there for? … to be scammed
