They’re the puppets in positions of “power” because they’re mutually compromised so. The psychopathic circlejerk. Easily played narcissists.
He’s their boy.
… And … they have quotas for filling the prisons there, for legal slavery. Highest prison population of any country in the world. … “land of the free”.

I’d rather we were each and all free to have spaceships.
Much more ecologically savvy than petroleum powered cars and all the road infrastructure they require.
Spaceships for everybody.
Spaceships that are zero-point energy powered, capable of zero-inertia propulsion, sustaining human life indefinitely, printing another of itself instantly, and safe enough for a 2 year old to fly home. I hear these exist, and have for decades before we saw the TR-3B (in 2014 or earlier), and at least as early as a decade after the foo-fighters and the bell (“die glocke”) during WW2.
Or even just the aeros of the mid 1800s, like Charles Dellschau drew from what he saw at the Sonora Aero Club in 1850… that’d be better, for a start, even if they’ve not been made spaceworthy yet, at least they’d be clean powered, energy efficient, and spare our landscape being cut up by roads (freeing up even more acres for each our farm holdings individual and communal), freeing us to travel where there’s far more room (in the sky), no traffic, and cant crash by driver error or strike wildlife, the em-inertial field just slipstreaming us past anything, and able to stop instantly, with the internal inertial reference frame separated.
Lets wind back this over 175 year lost progress for the common people.
It’d even be a nice start if more people merely started looking into this, beyond their circular-reasoned unwittingly conditioned-presumption that it’s not possible or true.

Maybe instead of solely focusing on capping the top, we focus on raising the bottom.
Drop the envy. Pick up the compassion.

When you say “make”, do you mean extract?
I’ve heard Wall St destroy over 7 times as much wealth as they “make” from us.
I’ve also heard salaries over $£€70,000 no longer increase happiness. (Though, that was a few years ago… so, adjust for devaluation.).
More than what should a UBI be set to, if all the emancipatory technologies ceased being suppressed, and instead were proliferated to the benefit of each and all… would we even need money any more?

AI-generated code contains more bugs and errors than human output
Yeah. No shit. I used an LLM’s “help” to make fin.
It got me reading and debugging more than 10 times the [bad] code, per day, than I had in the entire prior 10 years of using fish. [And reading the documentation way more too, learning a lot.]
-
“However, it’s not necessarily a bad thing, with AI improving efficiency across the initial stages of code generation.”
-
“… more bugs and errors than human output”.
Oh but it’s so effortless. HA! Debugging takes a lot more effort. And then still have to just re-write it all yourself any way.
Still, it’s a good learning experience.
Dear AI,
Thanks for being so shit.
Taught me a lot.

2 sperm were swimming along, and one says to the other “How far to the egg yet? We’ve been swimming for ages!”. The other replies “The egg!? Oh. It’s not for miles yet. We’ve only just passed the tonsils.”
As per that great old joke, maybe it was just some sperm managed to go a long way.

It’s weirder than that…
If I recall correctly, I heard … Joseph was something like 80, and Mary was something like 12.
That does not get said a lot.
Is fun to dig into the apocryphal sources on that to check for plausibility.

Did I link the wrong hoe math bit about the table concept?.. If so, other hoe math videos/books can explain it better than I can. …But I’ll still try: The table’s what each partner brings what they have, to, to the relationship ~ which contrasts to how some people (supposedly, according to hoe math, mostly women), think they are the table. Yeah, better to have the hoe math guy explain it. With pictures.

Good catch. I overlooked that, overshadowed by the fail of missing the insinuation in the whimsical analogy.

If wimmins could learn makeup tips from trans who pass++, and cease thinking they’re the table, we’d have this no-sex depopulation problem licked real fast. Especially since wimmins are earning millions as only fans prostitutes. Simples. Just saved the world. ~ Wimmins, learn make-up tips from those who had to be the best at it because they were starting with the worst, then you’ll be double ahead. ;] And remember, you’re not the table. You have to share your millions, with your hubby and children. To save the world. ;]
(Take however much you want from that as joking, but I am serious about the makeup tips… lol. Those peeps got skill! lol).

Enough good stuff sprinkled around elsewhere,
Like the minbari master saying “There’s no shame in the truth”, as another fave line that stuck with me,
But yeah, for sure, it’s G’Kar and Londo that’s the real highlight.
- Comment on Do you ever watch old classic TV shows and realize that they are all dead 1 week ago:
Worth watching.
It gets good. Past the rough tacky start.
G’Kar: If I take a lamp and shine it toward the wall, a bright spot will appear on the wall. The lamp is our search for truth, for understanding. Too often we assume that the light on the wall is God. But the light is not the goal of the search; it is the result of the search. The more intense the search, the brighter the light on the wall. The brighter the light on the wall, the greater the sense of revelation upon seeing it! Similarly, someone who does not search, who does not bring a lantern with him, sees nothing. What we perceive as God, is the byproduct of our search for God. It may simply be an appreciation of the light, pure and unblemished, not understanding that it comes from us. Sometimes we stand in front of the light and assume that we are the center of the universe. God looks astonishingly like we do! Or we turn to look at our shadow, and assume that all is darkness. If we allow ourselves to get in the way, we defeat the purpose; which is to use the light of our search to illuminate the wall in all its beauty…and in all its flaws. And in so doing better understand the world around us.
