Um, SLC Punk!

If I am hearing what you are saying it sounds like they don’t see these immigrants, minorities, or non-whites as people. Like they think they are subhumans and don’t deserve the same rights as humans. I hope that isn’t the case.

Tetlock. He’s got a few talks on youtube that are very interesting. As someone who called all three recent presidential elections, I almost bought his book so his talks were fairly interesting.

How would a carrot help with seeing in the dark? All my carrots emit zero light not even a faint glow.

I’ll take your word for it and now expect an epic ending.

Corporate training. Rehearsing a play. Lecture or panel with question and answer portion. Bingo.

Hidden Brain had a good episode “Why You Feel Empty” Aug. 6, 2024. “We all know what it feels like to be sad” … “We also know what it feels like to be joyful and happy” … “Sociologist Corey Keyes says lots of us live in an emotional netherworld that falls between these two poles, we are not depressed but still feel unfulfilled.” Anyway, I saved it cause it stuck with me because I’ve been languishing for a while as well.

The Majority Report with Sam Seder just had a guest on today for an interview about this very topic. The guy’s name was Daniel Hunter and I found it solid.

The gist of the interview was that you can block boats that are carrying arms shipments with smaller boats and that might work for a while but the coast guard will probably fuck with you.

The state of things is the US dollar is still king. We export our inflation because the US dollar is the world reserve currency. Yes there are other states that would be interested in de-dollarizing, but what’s the alternative? Flying planes of gold around the world like Russia?

This unlikely to change in the near future, because there are few other currencies large enough to fill the role and there are exactly zero other countries with anywhere near the military power to maintain reserve currency status.

How far apart are your eyes?

That Oxy family. Or the whole Panama papers? Or recently all the Boeing execs that ignored or silenced various whistleblowers with regard to the 737 Max.

JD is Nathan for You, but without awareness or knowing.

Corporations tried out binding arbitration and the people just took it with very little complaining. So why not keep eroding consumer protections or the other rights citizens fought for in the before times?

It is all about where your hands fall on your body, and it sounds like you are just an ankle holster person. Maybe tie some knots in the handles or use a clip to shorten them so the bottom doesn’t drag.
