Planned Obsolescence … designing things for a short lifespan so that things always break and people are always forced to buy the next thing.
It all originated with light bulbs 100 years ago … inventors did design incandescent light bulbs that could last for years but then the company owners realized it wasn’t economically feasible to produce a light bulb that could last ten years because too few people would buy light bulbs. So they conspired to engineer a light bulb with a limited life that would last long enough to please people but short enough to keep them buying light bulbs often enough.

lol … when I die, I would really love to have my body buried in a lead sealed container at the bottom of a shallow ocean … bury me enough to not let things eat me but enough to preserve my bones for a few million years … then place a bunch of random objects around me … like an iron bar shaped in a simple random design (like the infinity symbol) … a small solid gold sphere in my eye socket … a small diamond up my nostril… and something radioactive inside my chest … and fill my skull with copper, aluminum and other metals.
Then just leave it all and let some archaeologist in a few milllion years to be absolutely confused as to who or what the hell I was doing and why I did it

- Comment on PSA: Stop using Imgur for now 3 days ago:
I noticed with some basic testing with VPNs that a PC running Linux and a VPN is fairly obscured with no DNS or IP leaks. But when doing the same with an android phone, even with a good VPN, the browser still passes unique identifiers of the phone.
So I’m thinking the ones who say they can still use imgur are probably accessing it via a PC and not a phone.

So you’re saying that we should do more AI searches for “Trump Dementia”
… and use variations of it like … “Trump old losing his mind”, “Trump old senile”, “Trump dementia don”, “Donny Dementia”, “Ding Dong Dementia Donny Trump”

- Comment on The problem with overeating is that it feels really good 1 week ago:
It’s a survival mechanism.
We human animals were designed to live in the wilderness with no available food. We had to constantly be on the search for food or preparing it in order to survive. And when we found food, we gorged on it because we knew that there might not be another supply of food later.
Humans lived like that for thousands of years.
It’s only been very recently that the majority of us had a steady supply of food. There are starving populations but not as much as there was in the past.
We are designed and conditioned to be starving because we are not supposed to have freely available food all the time.
Maybe in a few thousand years we will adapt to having food around all the time.
But right now and for the foreseeable future, we’re going to have problems with our diet and health all the time unless we really apply our knowledge and self control to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

I used to watch jeopardy on a daily basis in the late 90s, early 2000s. My wife’s mother loved watching the show every night and we even kept score with one another to make our own guesses. My wife’s mom was a really bright lady, well read and a great mind. She won in our group most nights.
I remember watching this episode and thought it was funny … I’ll have to search for it as well.

There was one funny episode of celebrity jeopardy where an actor responded with to the answer with …
“The Eiffel Tower … what’s that?”
Everyone laughed but at the time, Alex Trebek had to wait for the judges to be able to accept that response. And the celebrity actor continued to respond in the same way for the rest of the show.

- Comment on Thoughts about responsibility 1 week ago:
Most people (including myself) are cowardly and selfish. If we have the opportunity to avoid responsibilities, especially if no one is watching or if we can “get away with it” … chances are most people would. I’m not saying that all people are selfish … if they are being watched or there are witnesses, many people (I believe the majority) would do the right thing and take responsibility.
Which is why we need a world with checks and balances … we constantly need to watch one another and set to systems where everyone is literally on a stage of sorts. Especially when it comes to politicians and government … if we leave people to do things in the dark without anyone knowing, chances are very high that they will do terrible things.
