Preliminary thoughts:

I am honestly not sure why race was brought up. If the person in the car was “a blonde haired blue eyed man” and that description would also have been given in the post because identifying exactly what they person looked like was important, than maybe it made sense. But all too often mentioning race is tinged with prejudice.…[Read more]

Anyhow, if you folks want to live in some control-freak Stepford Utopia in some place like Sim City, Second Life, Civilization, Metaverse, or some other “dream-in-every-home” program or app, have at it.

Enco must be a bot. There is no way an intelligent person would stoop to such ridiculous nonsensical stupidity. Enco…come down to Earth.

I just read about research on likely climate change effects on animal species migrations that will increase inter-species spread of diseases, especially in places like south-east Asia and tropical Africa.

The FCC fairness act is an attempt to keep the mega corps and billionaires from buying up all the broadcast media channels and then getting to decide everything we heard. I guess you prefer that.

I have noticed that some people who worship the free market, they tend to overlook the fact that in order for a market to actually be “free” it cannot be…[Read more]

The greatest investment Musk could make and gift he could give to humanity is torch twitter to the ground. I take it far beyond Autumn’s description as a place where discussions might not happen but those deriding other’s views and I would say that is a giant proportion. I have virtually never learnt anything from twitter but have only had some…[Read more]
