lol … I love Abbot and Costello … I watched a lot of the reruns as a kid in the 80s to know who they are. And I definitely remember this classic.

It made me think more about those Native named placenames … I remember one dad told me a long time ago was ‘Ptarmigan guts creek’ (it sounds weird and funny in Ojibway) … another was ‘Having Sex’ or ‘Fucking’ Rapids … for the longest time, I thought these places were a joke and didn’t exist. When I repeated them to many other people, they confirmed that this is what they were called.

If they are honest about what they are suggesting … the first step would be to be explicitly clear about who THEY are and WHO they represent.

I really don’t care that much about the technical side of things because I’m not that technically knowledgeable. However, I am more apt to trust the judgment or recommendations of prominent people in the industry (that are not corporately attached or controlled) … I would also trust public institutions or journalists or academics with a track record of social advocacy and wanting to represent people instead of corporations or businesses. I would also trust politicians or political advocates that mostly represent people and public institutions.

I really don’t put my faith in any one person no matter who they claim to be to just say they want to build something meaningful and give me no information on their background, who they worked for, who they represent or what kind of people or organizations they associate with. There have been far too many ‘good natured’ technocrats and technology people from the past decade or two who claim to say that they want to change the world for the better and then end up wanting to burn it all down for a profit.

Depending on who the group is … it is good to first do a thorough check on who the group is … it can just as likely be a group of scam artists that are riding on some nationalism band wagon happening around the world these days.

Give it about a year or two and it would just become normalized and dull. It would be funny for a month or two but after that it would be treated no more unusual as any other street name or map label. Even if you have funny names to people’s houses, eventually it all just gets normalized.

I’m indigenous Canadian and I speak my ojibway language and when I think about many of the common lakes and rivers and placenames I grew up with they’re all just places that translate to mundane things like … Rock River, Round Lake, Big Falls, Red Lake, Big Water, Muddy Water, Fast Flowing River, Trout River, etc, etc

Humans: … who would destroy such a well balanced life giving natural ecology and environment?

What would have happened if he had had 15 delicious, chewy, tasty cinnamon buns?

Never … the communists / socialists / democratic groups usually reacted because of a CIA financed coup

And it often comes into being because of a CIA financed coup

It’s like the chicken or the egg question.

I always saw it as a psychological test … they’re trying to find gullible, pliable individuals who can passably do the work and agree to be paid as little as possible and made to work as much and as often as they can.

A bonus for them would be actually finding people they could literally treat like slaves and not pay them anything.

I have peed

You will pee

We must not acknowledge one another

A jungle rule as old as humanity

I had one similar in Florida once years ago … 25 years ago now I think … and this was in Fort Lauderdale.

I was lying in bed in a cheap motel staring up at a sky light and I could see a few stars but not many because of the light pollution. I saw a satellite or a plane in the sky and I started to follow it. Moving from west to east. I didn’t think much of it, I’ve seen lights like it many times in Northern Ontario.

Right directly overhead, in made a right angle turn north … then a right angle turn back east and continued on its way. It never stopped or slowed down, just turn, turn and kept going.

I couldn’t believe it and thought maybe it was a bug on the glass? A helicopter? A speck of dust? It was weird because it followed a steady path across the sky first did a weird right angle turn twice and moved on.

I told my wife who was with me and she didn’t think anything of it and said I probably just imagined it. Maybe I did? But I’m very certain of what I saw because I was so shocked by it. I wasn’t drinking, no drugs (legal or illegal) and I haven’t had anything like it happen to me before or since.

At this point I don’t blame political parties or even individual politicians … I blame the American people who just keep putting up with this bullshit, justifying it all, half saying they are for it while the other half does nothing … and all of them saying its someone else’s fault.

America is generally just a nation of morons with nuclear weapons at this point.

Might as well rewrite history and say that in the 1940s, America fought Central European powers with alternative government systems

Sounds like a hawk or eagle … which kind of makes sense since they are originally from the Central Asian mountains where a lot of these birds also live

If I heard that cat sound in the mountains, I would just think it was a bird instead of a cat

All four of them carved onto a sacred natural site known to the Plains Indigenous people of the area as the ‘Six Grandfathers’

Go forward in your mind about 20 or 30 years after having gone through your current position or situation without positive or negative change. Pretend that everything just coasts along at the same pace.

What would your future self say to you right now.

We need to make a throne … like the Iron Throne from Game of Thrones … but made out of USB cables

lol … by the time they do pass regulations and laws to do all this … 1 Trump will be worth nothing

It will be like the German Reichsmark and they’ll be printing out so much of it, that these paper bills will be more valuable as a fuel source to cook your food than in actually purchasing anything of value.

Clay tablets it is … the Sumerians knew what they were doing.

So … what is the leading alternative browser then?

One of the reasons Firefox became so popular was that it was an alternative.

Now that they’re drifting towards something we don’t like … what is the new alternative?
