I have as much power as the Pope, I just don't have as many people who believe it

• George Carlin

Power, popularity and authority is always based on how many people you can convince to follow your movement. If you have enough people who believe it, I can become Master of the Universe!

Just what I was thinking ..... how do you know someone is gay? Unless they tell you, you'd never know.

Sure some gay people are obvious but about half the gay people I've ever known, I would have never known if they hadn't admitted it to me.

I want out of this transport buffer

Lol .... and just get an actor that kinda looks like Colm Meaney and whenever his appearance is questioned, he just passes it off as being an imperfect buffer clone.

Imagine an entire series of just long-buffered O'Brien's everywhere

They could still make a Star Trek spin off with him at any time with him at any age in any place .....

Star Trek: Transport Buffer ..... starring Colm Meaney

lol ... teacher tells students to be creative .... teacher is shocked when students are very creative

If I were a teacher and I had a student like that ... I'd automatically pass their assignment and two more upcoming assignments without even reviewing their work.

... and considering the state of US politics, even if that were to actually happen, there would still be a part of me that wouldn't be surprised if she came back anyway.

I think it's always going to be about 20% of the population (I'm guessing but I also don't think its a high percentage) that will always be tech literate ... or tech capable.

Everyone is skilled in some areas more than others. And the general population will always be like that no matter the era, generation or geography or capability or access.

I grew up poor in northern Ontario in Canada in an Indigenous community. I really have no real training to speak of, nor do I have any post secondary education ... I have high school but never had the opportunity to go further than that. But I have a good brain (at least I think I do) ... I learned about computer tech on my own - first learning how to use Windows, installing uninstalling stuff, then fixing updating, repairing and maintaining systems ... then drifted into the software cracking, windows cracking stuff ... then over to patching, fixing and maintaining hardware to just keep everything working ... I'm not wealthy, so I always had to figure stuff out on my own. Then once private software became too difficult, I went over to open source software with Linux and freeware and now build and repair and maintain my own systems and fix stuff for other people.

All the while, the majority of everyone else I knew never learned to do these things. I few of my friends are like me and did stuff on their own but not many (which is why I say 20%) .. the majority of everyone else just shell out money they don't have to buy $1,000 phones and $2,000 laptops to fix their problems.

It's a good thing they didn't call it oand if the person who invented the world decided to use ocean instead of sea.

Stop teasing us America .... we know what bat shit crazy politics you're capable of.

I won't believe she's out of politics until I see her out of politics.

War is no longer about good or evil .... it's just a business ... resolving conflicts is not good business but perpetual war is, no matter the reason.

We are a global society that enjoys profiting off killing one another

I too, like living in the transport buffer

Are they giving Isreal a deadline to complete their genocide?

By September, there won't be much of a Palestine left to recognize.

Intermittent fasting .... it was probably a normal way for us to live as humans hundreds of years ago when food wasn't so freely available like today.

I grew up poor as an Indigenous Canadian with my family in the north. I remember being a kid and just going on breakfast (which was always oatmeal) and lunch with no other meals during the day .... and it was just normal.

You wanted a snack late at night? No, there's nothing to eat, go play with your siblings and go to bed.

And as teens and adults, if we were travelling on the land and moving from place to place for hunting/trapping/fishing, it was normal to go a day without food just to get work done on time.

Give it another ten minutes ... it's amazing how long you can go without food. As long as you have something to drink, your stomach will rumble and grumble endlessly but you'll be able to function for a day or two without food. It's miserable yes, but it won't kill you.

Every American celebrity is basically a highly paid slave of corporate media. They don't have an independent voice in public. Anything they say or do is liable to take them off their golden leash and if they really step out of line, they'll be sent to eternal legal hell to dry up all their money.

The only people you can trust are those that are not tied to any corporate control.

Edibles were so good, you weren't even standing in your own bathroom ...... and why is the lady behind the door screaming in some Eastern European language?
