I'm shadow-banned on all platforms for pointing out how these algorithms effectively censor while avoiding legal conflicts with their customers.

To: Every person in power on planet Earth,

From: A member of Gen X,

Give us peace,
Or give us death.
These are the only choices you have left.

Sincerely,
Chris, the Fool

Why does no one teach children the dynamics of family relationships? More specifically, regarding maintaining a couple's relationship while raising a family?

Most divorces could be prevented by this.

We are doing our children a great disservice.
We are failing them.

No, they will not stop. It is too profitable. Nor will they hold anyone responsible accountable. It would jeopardize their own freedom.

This thought has not left me alone since it occurred.

'Suicide is a symptom of a dysfunctional society.'

It's a bummer, I know.
We can fix the causes behind this epidemic.
Or, we can keep ignoring them. (This is what all governments do, now.)

Who had them programmed?
Who approved it?
These are the people to hold accountable. Once they understand they are at less risk by letting humans decide, this will stop.

Is help that comes with a price, help?

This question drives me nuts from all viewpoints.
I want to help.
I want to be helped.
I do not want my efforts, wasted.

Help, or not to help?

(I think I'll puke if I take this any farther. 😁)

P.S. Serious question.

With all of the talk about empathy of late, I am compelled to state my beliefs.

Like everything else in this world, empathy must be used with care. It should only be used when it benefits all involved.

Isn't this obvious?

I'm interested in a discussion about instincts.
How they affect our lives when compared to "animals."
How we react under certain conditions individually and as species.

e.g., Is suicide a species survival trait to conserve resources?
Does it occur individually when we try to ignore all instincts?

Higher education and the US Department of Education (DOEd).

Higher education requires maintenance.

The DOEd prevented students from performing this maintenance by garnishing wages.

They have now made it impossible for many to now use the education they are paying for.

The unfortunate truth is that the Democratic Party more closely resembles a Money Laundering operation than anything else at this time.

I do not agree with supporting Argentina this way.
The people in power want these materials. It is why they are throwing are money at them.

Yes, our own come first.
Trump has already forgotten this.

In truth, the decision to stop this planned weekly time-off for our country had nothing to do with anything but politics and money.

We need a national weekly day off from commerce. A chance for people to recover and connect with family and friends. It would improve the nation's productivity and mental health.

Sunday used to serve this function for America. However, this was stopped because of β€œreligion.”

Argentina has resources we want. We aren't just giving them money for nothing.
But!
This still doesn't sit well with me.

A string of at least a dozen homegrown onions.

A string of at least a dozen homegrown onions.

I went to see someone today, to return some documents they had lent to me for a research project. We talked of many things and then I came away with a string of onions that they gifted to me, that they had grown and strung themselves, and something in the skill of it all astonishes me.

New Horizons image of Io-Europa conjunction taken on March 2nd, 2007. Two LORRI image were combined and colorized with MVIC red and blue channel data taken 11 minutes later.

The original image release using this data combined IR, red and blue filters as red, green and blue, this uses only the visible portion of the spectrum and interpolates the missing wavelenghts (such as green color). As a result, Io's jupitershine-lit hemisphere is not green here as methane is not strongly absorbing in the visible wavelength range. The color of the volcanic plumes, in particular the huge Tvashtar eruption seen here, should also be closer to "true" color.

Distance to Io: 4.6 million km
Distance to Europa: 3.8 million km
