A quote from Dune if I recall correctly is power attracts the corruptable, not exactly that it corrupts. So not that humans are evil but we offer positions that shouldn’t be given to anyone that wants it. Mean okay I’m sure there’s good people that try for elected positions for sure.

Also quote from hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy, no one that seeks power should be given it. Or similar was in reference to who they elect president.

While hitchhiker’s guide is comedy I think it holds well, people who seek power want to abuse it. People resultant to accept a position may be better to administer. I think, while quite different moods in their texts, they were saying the same thing. One (quite boring and dry, no pun intended, at first read) another just silly with some commentary on life.

Funny how that works cause you’d think democracy would weed others out. But gestures to democracies these days we see how things work with media manipulation. I think the hitchhiker’s guide worked and well was made due to the education of the author.

So why the eff aren’t we supporting system where we can cultivate ideas to improve ourselves rather than hearing media tell us not to like someone who is probably cool anyways?

Yes a north american view but right wing has been spreading and all.

13/f/ca (just answering the meme to the best of my knowledge, never know when a similar one comes up)

That’s good, I love tap water where I live. Always drank it, mostly sharp but years are adding up. Drank it more as I aged, don’t need extra calories and all.

Grew up where tap water tasted like ass, to the point even hung over it tasted like shit. Love BC tapwater, though gets better closer to the coast in my opinion.

Don’t worry United States you elected someone almost as intelligent as he is for president.

Course don’t get me wrong, take a known biologist (apologize I don’t know any specific ones) I’m sure many took specimens to be studied for later. Unfortunately this person has shown he’s a complete idiot.

Does it really matter in this administration when they just tear everything down? Shit the mic is live… seriously US get your house in order you got someone who’s claimed to have brain worms helping diamantle your health department. Like only worse thing would be whatever the president is doing at 3am…shit posting to his owned social media.

It’s amusing how quickly you can fall from world superiority to dumpster from a lack of critical thinking. No way can they afford shit soon with the recent spending. Either educate people to be a decent army or afford the weapons but not both with their budget. They don’t have China’s numbers and less educated than any European army. Soon they won’t have money cause people aren’t producing enough taxes. Congrats US.

Yes apparently rich assholes congregate so when one slights another then we (the plebs) hear the incriminating details because they were personally impacted, but never earlier. Whoever came out is no hero but hopefully their story is heard.

Do we not see how this caste system sucks? It’s not exactly untouchables like some castes but it’s a caste system. We are their fodder, the (few) rich get power.

Now I am not advocating violence but numbers should show who has real power in the world. 3500 billionaires and 8.5 billion people, can’t we make it better for the 8.5 billion rather than the 3500?

I’d send it to HR just in case. Can’t be too careful for those things.

They’re on their decadent high or perhaps just over their peak before the real downfall. They could have been better, but that house of cards is collapsing so it’s take what you can get before it gets worse. Awesome job Americans, you had one job not to not elect a conman to presidency and you failed twice. Kudos, I doubt many others would fuck up that poorly. Hats off, flamboyant bow they made evident what was thought impossible, bring down the US through stupidity. Bravo.

Awesome I understood it (even if I didn’t say it properly in my previous msg). Just needed to be sure I didn’t miss something in my readings and watchings.

But love and attachment pulled Anakin to the Dark side wasn’t that their entire position on it?

Or did I miss a plot but? I always thought ep 3 was clear, Anakin wanted love more than what was right and screwed up the social order by helping the emperor to in theory save Padme but then he went down the dark side and was no longer a Jedi. I thought that’s what Yoda assumed would happen too, in some way.

Honestly that’s a legit question I truely miss those things in movies often, even if I’ve seen them a lot, not nearly as much as EP 4-6 of course, but close since it was on repeat at the electronics store I worked at.

I thought the intent was to show the Jedi more naive, but holding to their ideals in the face of danger. Even if it meant all but a few got killed. But also show that their ideala lived on in the end (unsure about extended only read a few books) so they sort of win too.

While I agree I sort of wonder if Trump has a request that was a bit too far, like covering up more of Epstein issues than she’s already done or saying even something more incriminating to other issues.

The scandals of this administration are like a random stage dude pulling the kerchiefs out of his sleeve, they just keep coming so when one gets buried they find a replacement.

And that’s half the battle having us guess why something happened vs what happened but they play 3 card Monty with all the possabilities.

Yes that sounds like a sound government… Good job united States, you went from superpower to super fucking idiot in 3 terms.i figure Bush 2 only gets super idiot in case you’re curious.

Typo I corrected once and didn’t double check the suggestion.

Sure did. Oops.

Personally never been in many bad relationship long enough for me to feel that. I’ve had very mutual attraction where we both supported each other for the most part. If it gets to that early then that’s a sign it’s not working. If it feels that bad it can’t be beneficial, then that’s probably a cut off point (depending on length, after years a discussion is in order anyways).

The bad one? Perhaps had blinders on and didn’t see but looking back didn’t see as much take to the give. It’s easier to see looking back but don’t take that one bad issue is a reason things can’t work either. Sometimes a good talk (the horror of any tv show) can work things out so everyone is at the same expectations. If not then … That happens too, more often than finding a long term partner. Otherwise there’d be hardly any dating.

In the end communication about expectations are the key, if they don’t line up you probably won’t as a couple either.

Also no thank you for attention to this matter. Heh that always made it sound silly anyways. Also I my spelling isn’t always on point but no spelling errors?

Maybe that’s why I have too much of it then. Also think it does worse for people to believe in things that have no factual basis for being real. We need to learn we are humans, an sentient being but just an animal, we aren’t special and we have issues and need to deal with them in a healthy way.

For the record I’m just saying no tangible proof of a higher existence, if you want to believe that’s for you is all. To each their own. I just need some proof myself.

Course some people drink a lot not like that’s worse than religion healthwise. Long as you don’t go on a crusade anyways then the drinking may be better.

I believe I misread and was thinking of other articles then, oops my apologies. Oil shipping at about 20% worth of world wide though, that’s a big enough chunk to make anyone with a vehicle cringe, regardless of where you are. It’ll eventually hit. Also sure that oil is used in many places not just vehicles to pump up the prices for consumer products. Though unsure of exact oil types on where it ends up exactly, apparently a lot of Asian countries… Which have many manufacturers for our random crap we enjoy.

Sorry I think in the end my answer is that the oil is so much for the world economy that alone is enough to screw the world. To the point that other factors may not be an issue (they may be and I may be ignorant too)

Well their countries aren’t antagonizing Iran so they can be okay. There’s only really two countries that decided to poke them and those country’s ships won’t be allowed. Though some fee may be required but not sure the antagonizing countries get the option of a toll.

I’m not sure if that’s what you were asking or if being facusious but my understanding of geopolitics is minimal also understanding of people too so figured I’d comment.

Oh look to his Google search a supporter of Trump. Also someone who frauded Florida. Funny how fraud and Trump always show up in the same inquiry. I’d say let’s try others but I’m only human it’s fraud all the way down.

I’m Canadian but can’t believe how many criminals they vote for in the US may as well be a mob operation. Actually a mob operation would try and be less obtuse than this administration. Yes an actual forward mob operation would be less criminally negligent than Trump, it’s horrble people think being able to be racist is better than being run by the dollar store mob now.

Yeah no shit, we have to be sad about awesome actors but the Orange douche here is running around like he’s had half a life left. He’ll be remembered alright and if there’s an afterlife I hope they make him watch everyone bitch about his existence.

I played a small bit in the late 90s, it was fun chilling with my roommate and painting miniatures. Think I spent more time painting than playing though. They never lookrd great but was space marines in red with yellow accents, the odd things you still remember a 1/4 decade later.
