Their ages here 9, 12, and 14.

The video was posted Aug 7, 2015, which would make Dany 15, Pau 13, and Ale 10. I’m not saying this to correct you, but because I’m always remembering these days that Dany and Pau were born in early 2000 and 2002, while Ale was born in late 2004. I like watching people having difficulty calculating…[Read more]
PopeBeanie replied to the topic SCOTUS Gone Rogue, Politically & Ideologically in the forum Politics 1 year, 10 months ago

OK, I’ll expand this topic beyond SCOTUS. It can also be about neo-GOP, 2024 election, and Project 2025. (It’s a fricken conspiracy.)

PopeBeanie started the topic SCOTUS Gone Rogue, Politically & Ideologically in the forum Politics 1 year, 10 months ago

They’ve gone even further than I expected, and I was already pessimistic.

Hari Sreenivasan spoke with Leah Litman, law school professor at the University of Michigan about Trump’s classified documents case being dropped by one of the judges that Trump appointed.

Later in the interview possible remedies to balance SCOTUS were also…[Read more]

Truth doesn’t have to be logical and realistic. Fiction does.

The philosophical question is not about what your life means to you.

I hope the following, self-referencing logic doesn’t sound too convoluted.

We could just presume there’s a consciousness or two, e.g. God and/or humans, that know truth. But sans either, before the word “…[Read more]
PopeBeanie replied to the topic We need to know why Trump is so popular in the forum Politics 1 year, 10 months ago

Bannon, in his evil genius way, saw this coming, and helped make it happen. There’s some kind of cycle of socio-economic evolution and reactive populism that he has an understanding of. IMO he and Trump are agents of disruption, deception, who smell opportunity, while finding other like-minded, collaborative organizations also smelling…[Read more]

The meaning of life? What does that mean?

I have a kind of dismissive opinion on these questions, although like wrt free will, I just go with my instinct to act in life as though I have it. I definitely feel I have a purpose, and that life has meaning. If those feeling are just delusions or illusions, then they’ve emerged “…[Read more]
PopeBeanie replied to the topic Sabina Hossenfelder says Germany is circling the drain in the forum Politics 1 year, 10 months ago

I saw this when I was on YouTube yesterday, and recognized I had no clue about the German economy. (That’s what I should be embarrassed about.)

On a seemingly different topic, I have to say that I’ve left Google Search as my primary search engine, because it has become so bad, prioritizing extra clicks over linking to the most relevant…[Read more]

A new phase is beginning in Ukraine and NATO vs Putin. I hope Russians wake up and smell the deceit.
- jakelafort replied 2 years ago
  Russians?
  
  Or their leaders?
  - PopeBeanie replied 2 years ago
    I just assumed that the leaders already know about the deceit, but I guess maybe some will smell a chance to reform, and/or rebel, too. They’ve all been under Putin’s thumb for so long, now, some in profitable positions.

Apparently (some of?) the Christians hate Jews for killing Jesus. This is so bizarre I didn’t believe it at first.

a) I thought it was the Romans that killed him, which makes the placement of the Vatican in a bit of an awkward position.

b) I thought the killing of Jesus was an essential part of the master plan.

Here in the US, meanwhile, we a…[Read more]

Humble, fun, talented, creative, technical, professional, not a lame song out of over a hundred. I still get goosebumps, now even before the actual goosebumpy part because I know when it’s coming.

I ran into a one minute short, and just watched and re-watched it over a couple dozen times or so:
