I keep thinking a puffer fish would not survive for long in aquarium like that. Hopefully that is saltwater and that’s not a gold fish as they are fresh water fish.

You know what you are correct i should have done a search before posting thanks for the correction

TNG season 1 is a good start its rough around the edges and if it starts to look like the movie “Coming to America” go ahead and skip that episode. Just watch knowing it’s going to get better like Park and Rec but it sets up a lot of storylines that will pay off later and some classic episodes that people forget are season 1 like “Measure of a man”.

If you think about it and want to be cynical and game the system intentionally not making white men the protagonist. Will piss off right wingers. They boycot it and create a bunch of press then everyone else rush to your defense and you sell even more copies.

+1 on just sub view. I have two accounts one that has news and politics and one that has none and on my non politics account I see almost none of it other than the stay comment in another sub and because I have the two accounts if it becomes a problem i have no issue just blocking that person. Since I can see their content on the other account.

Yeah I don’t really notice as I stopped playing multi-player games after quake 3 and I just keep playing quake 2 and Doom

Like windows for all games or just anti cheat games cause Linux gaming support is pretty great on most games that are not outright hostile towards it like kernel level anti-cheat games you should give it a try.

Yeah but who creates most of the service jobs Small business owners and they are not the ones I’m talking about in the capitalist group. The real capitalists just convinced them they are in the capitalist group so they vote with the first group.

I call them the embarrassed millionaires as they vote against themselves on the off chance they make it to the that next tier. The problem men like Howard Pew and John Birch stack the deck against us before most of us were even born.

Remember it was the National Association of Manufacturers and their meeting with James William Fifield Jr in response to FDRs the New Deal that started all this. You can draw a line directly from that meeting to Billy Graham to Ronald Ragan to The Tea Party to Trump.

Also automation is already be coming for those service jobs. Self checkout or order kiosk / mobile ordering anyone at McDonald’s. It turns a service job into a manufacturing job.

The problem is you think of them as one group when there are two white supremacists / religious zealots, and capitalist. The capitalist use the first group to get power to get capital and keep capital for themselves. They want cheap labor while the first group just wants more white babies and less anything else. The second group justs wants cheap labor and zero regulations and they can get cheap labor overseas if there are no regulations so they don’t care about mass deportations.

The only way to do it is run a populist campaign in one of the parties lying the whole way through then switching to an independent party that actually cares about the people and have enough numbers to get a coalition in both houses of congress. Doing all this all together without talking to each other or giving yourself away.

Yeah long covid doesn’t help ether

Yeah I was taught coping skills back in the 90s. It hasn’t affected me that much. I hold down a good job and communicate just fine with everyone I need to. Only issue I have ever had is smug jerks on the internet lacking empathy. Saying like the stuff above instead hey I think you ment their vs they are and moving on with the conversation. Instead of the sad need to look superior like they are the god keepers of the language.

I always expect it’s they don’t have the room. Grandma did a reverse mortgage. So you don’t get the house can’t pay for storage fees. Might as well get rid of it.

Prefer or can only afford great idea i never thought of non the less

It’s not always a bad thing lol

Mainly when I read, stuff moves around and I can’t read phonetically i learned to read by memorizing how words look as a whole. so I sometimes get words that sounds the same mixed up and my spelling is garbage. So whatever my keyboard gives me is what I go with. Thanks for the empathy and compassion.

This is not a story of the algorithm predicting what you like. It’s showing if you expose a human to the same content over and over again. It can change their way of thinking in order to like the thing they are exposed to. Even more so if they don’t know how it works and the person think everyone is into slime. I need to be into it too to fit in. It’s very powerful if you want to manipulate populous. It’s algorithm induced Stockholm Syndrome.

The shitty ones like Joe Rogan say their philosophers. The good ones that should get that credit. Will be the first ones to tell you their not. It’s always the rule if you have to tell someone you’re deep you are probably not.

Very cool so really host is the root meaning as far as the written record shows.

Hotel comes from the French word hôtel and that word is is defined as places providing care. Really the h in hotel would be hospitality but really that is not the case.
