WTF Joe
  • People act like they've zero eyes, ears and memory and ballotpedia isn't a thing. It's only immoral and unethical when the other person abandons their ethics and morals.

  • WTF Joe
  • I can't think of a news source that isn't corporate garbage, other than DN and a few other indies. Our news has arguably been corporate garbage since Hearst and the Spanish-American War (you can look up his infamous quote, how Pulitzer competed with his publications, etc. For decades, I was a loyal Dem voter, even suppporting Billary; I was disgusted enough after his second term to start looking hard at Kucinich, and that election cycle, the media mentioned him once or twice in a sentence or two; compare that to the platforms they gave Killary, W and other was criminals, or the recently convicted felon.

    I've learned to be terse in political commentary, if Eve6n commenting at all because I'm sick of being called a Russian bot. I'm not even adverse to the Russian people, nor am I willing to deny genocide, but "Joe doesn't genocide, you Russian shill" in some form or other gets damned old. Even when he's playing in our faces, we get told begrudgingly by very few, "he genocides less than the other guy would!" Right, like he's so different on other policies.

    We do need to demand better candidates from the DNC or better, vote for other parties candidates, but only Russian or CCP shills would dare think outside the box.

    TBD idk if Oz is a hired or sock puppet account or not, but refusing to question ourselves and our parties and individual candidates doesn't make us different, from the other side, it just rearranges deck chairs on the Titanic (nation, planet). It's late and I'm not really interested in arguing the same tired points. Just putting it out there in wild hope someone interested in hearing actually will consider it.

  • Why thank you! Shakespeare was philosophical imo, and it shows in his works. . It amazes me he got away with his pointed societal criticisms, without being thrown into a dungeon (afawk) or executed! I had to bite my figurative tongue to keep from comparing Iago to a certain well-known public figure, in my nation, but I'm fairly positive many of us can think of a few comparisons.

    Thank you again, for the compliment. May you be well, well-read and philosophical! Ashay!

  • Might be a carbon and unwanted other animal species issues. Bugs, small mammals, and predators thereof. Compost is great but it's still producing by-products. If distribution and politics could be solved (probably politics is the main barrier in distribution, followed by natural disaster, many of which are the direct result of politics), perhaps these things wouldn't be a great concern. But I'm not a scientist.

  • infinite monkey theorem
  • Good choice. Imo, the best notable quote came from Iago - "He who filches from me my good name robs me not of what enriches him, but makes me poor indeed." Or something like that. Iago was a liar, cheat and wife-coveting cad.

    Shows the timeless insight into various human character traits Shakespeare had, positive and negative, both with this quote, and the character chosen to speak it.

    Dumb question regarding single payer health in the USA

    I apologize if this is offensive, but I really need to understand:

    An instructor of a course I'm taking claims that several years ago, a 70 year old Canadian friend of the family was denied a stent, due to age. This sounds sus af to me, so I'm wondering if there is any province that would deny this procedure to someone based solely on their age?

    Tyia.

    m.youtube.com The Authoritarians by Bob Altemeyer

    3:16 Introduction18:19 CH1 Who Are The Authoritarian Followers?1:35:45 CH2 The Roots of Authoritarian Aggression and Authoritarianism Itself2:22:46 CH3 How A...

    I would encourage everyone, regardless of leanings, to listen to the first chapter, to the end, including notes. That’s as far as I got between tcb, random pop-in guests, and conversing with my parent.

    As an introductory note, Altemeyer explains that rwa can very much apply to hard economic leftists, that is, communists, as well as fascists.

    The author gives away copies of this book and self-narrates it at the link provided, so he’s invested quite a bit of himself into this work.

    The notes at the end of the chapter contain interesting anecdotes wrt a suggestion for his experiments given by Sagan, Barry Goldwater, and generalizations.
