China has proven itself able to change drastically and quickly. High speed rail and renewable energy. Both massive undertakings tackling massive problems for China and both done far faster and on a much larger scale than anywhere else. If there's one country I actually trust to be proactive about securing its future, it's China. I'll take the wait and see approach to the supposed imminent demographic collapse

Does it really matter if someone is either

No, I don't really enjoy life and never really have. I don't want another person experiencing what I do.

Part of being a politician is being appealing. He's not just reciting information.

Yeah I somewhat agree, I think it's more likely that he's emphasising his natural cadence as opposed to a total fabrication. People like to call him dumb but he is possibly the most successful con man in history. If you think he's an idiot you're falling for it too.

Idk I read that passage and I can mostly understand what he's saying, I'd go as far as to say it's just as understandable as a lot of the word salad non answers from typical politicians. This sounds like how someone might present themselves in conversation, someone who isn't trained in how to give speeches or have a high level understanding of language construction. People vote on vibes and the vibes trump is giving up is some guy you might bump into in the pub. That is an exceedingly valuable thing to have as a politician in a society that largely doesn't trust its politicians. And in my opinion they have good reason not to trust them, it's unfortunate who was able to capitalise most on that distrust though.

 

A friend of mine told me they bumped into a famous singer. It got me thinking that those people probably aren't famous because they are exceptionally better at singing than other singers compared to say a woodworker who is exceptionally better than other woodworkers. They're famous because music is famous and the woodworker isn't because woodworking isn't famous. It has nothing to do with their relative skill in their profession. That thought actually made me quite happy with the thought that I could've met many people at the apex of their skill and I would just never know.

 

Now that I've decided my PC is going though it just like me I will never be able to replace it

 

Not all the time but occasionally in quiet moments I can hear a pulsing in my ear that matches my heartbeat. Been able to hear it since I was a child. Mostly it's localised to one ear and generally it will quieten/ stop after a short while.

 

No idea how this would work in practice but some sort of pattern recognition for what might be a drop of water on the phone screen as opposed to a touch input.
