Any change no matter if is too late or too inconvenient would be a better change for the DNC than to allow Biden at the top position. Seriously, any other DNC politician would be better than Biden even if they changed right now or in the next few months. All you need is some politician who is about 50 years old to fight Trump every day until the election and the orange menace would suffer a heart attack trying to keep up.
This is insane … it’s almost as if the powers that be want Trump to win and the only way they can ensure that is to put him up against an 80 year old competitor because it is the only candidate he could possibly beat.
Meanwhile, they have an orange beanbag presidential hopeful spilling the beans to the whoever around the world and he gets millions of dollars of support, literal legal immunity from anything and 1/3 of the country want him to become their Cheeto leader in Mountain Dew.
That was fantastic and hilarious … From one meatbag to another, thanks for sharing
Or they are just so far advanced than us that there is no need for an agreement like that … it’s just automatically understood and they see our planet and ‘civilization’ no more than us looking at our lawn and seeing an ant hill with activity. Why interact with creatures that can only understand their immediate surroundings and could not possibly comprehend anything beyond their little world?
The ants themselves are not aware of all the activity, technology and beings living all around them and can only know about their ant hill and their little ‘civilization’. Even if the ants had some resources, what good is it for a larger more powerful organism or entity to reach down, dig out their nest and take away the tiny little food stores? or use the sand from their ant hill to … ? … to what? … fill a crack in their paving stones? The ants have nothing we need or want … or have even the level of quantity of resources we would desire. Highly advanced alien civilizations probably see us in the same way … why harvest a tiny planet when you could gather vast amounts of energy and resources from some other parts of the galaxy that are far more massive and energy sustaining.
We only see and understand a fraction of a fraction of the universe right now. We are like the blind ignorant little ants that can only understand their little ant hill. Beings, entities and technologies might be roaming around us already but we are so unaware and undeveloped that it will takes us centuries or millennia before we can even start to understand anything beyond our world.
I have a bad feeling that our galactic neighbours are short selling our planet right now
As an indigenous person who grew up without running water or modern plumbing for the first ten years of my life in Canada … I always appreciated this quote …
Will Durant Quote: “From barbarism to civilization requires a century; from civilization to barbarism needs but a day.”
Personality, presence and confidence
Natural self confidence, but NOT an arrogant selfish confidence.
Some people naturally have confidence and presence and some people need to build it as a skill.
I know guys and gals with little to no knowledge or skill build up careers because they just knew how to talk and connect to people.
I also know guys and gals with years of education and degrees but have little to no way of politely or easily getting along with people.
I’m Indigenous Ojibway/Cree from northern Northern Ontario and I speak my language. The word we use to describe white people or Europeans is ‘Mistikoshoo’.
It’s a two part word … Mishtik is the word for ‘wood’ … or ‘stick’
adding the ending ‘ooshoo’ to the word changes it refer to or describe a person.
So in all … the word just translates to ‘man with a stick’
When we made first contact with Europeans, they were all so preoccupied with their religion that they just looked like people wandering around with a stick in their hands and around their necks which was very, very important to them.
Then they taught us this strange religion and all its rules and regulations that everyone glorified but no one seemed to follow. When you look at the Middle Eastern religious traditions and what they preach and teach and what kind of culture they have evolved into, you begin to realize that religion is just another tool to control and manipulate people.
I always enjoyed reading about the history of European colonization … especially by the Spanish
Before he was burned, a priest asked Hatuey if he would accept Jesus and go to heaven. Las Casas recalled the reaction of the chief:
[Hatuey], thinking a little, asked the religious man if Spaniards went to heaven. The religious man answered yes… The chief then said without further thought that he did not want to go there but to hell so as not to be where they were and where he would not see such cruel people.
Reminds me of The Office
I’ve been involved in a number of cults both as a leader and a follower. You have more fun as a follower but you make more money as a leader.
Creed Bratton
… and I love the fact that with Creed Bratton quotes … they could be made up fiction or based on actual real life experience.
The only difference between religion and a cult … is time
They’ve been doing that for six thousand years
We live in Ferenginar … not Vulcan
A safer solution would be to just purposely target your arrival to the other side in empty space. While also travelling in a fully functional spaceship. Just make sure your little ship arrives within a set distance to Earth otherwise you will have to figure out how to travel millions of kilometers to get to where you’re going. If technology gets to the point of developing safe time travelling, I’ll assume that the same level of technology should be able to develop a space ship.
Thank you Mr Sutherland for everything you’ve given us.
I also hate these announcements because it’s a subtle reminder of how old we are all becoming.
Yes it is for most words.
Goose is niska … the plural is niskuk
Beaver is amisk… the plural is amiskuk
It’s not a hard rule but it applies to many things, objects and animals.
A friend of mine just sent me a Facebook link that says that decomposed candidate #2 was caught taking bribes from corporations … and that they’re a communist.
