Can someone considerably smarter than me, with time to spare, please just find a way to federate/decentralize DNS.

I can fathom that it is complicated, maybe even impossible in the current setup, but the internet we all grew to love dies a little bit more each time the mouth breathers try to restrict it on behalf of capitalism.

Maybe remembering ip addresses can fill the void of not having to remember phone numbers anymore?

Is there a stock to invest in for anti-drone technology in the area?

If so, something tells me sales are about to go up!

Religious saviour types. You know the ones. Speaking in tongues and curing the ill by laying a hand on their head.

Not to necessarily bash anyone’s religion, but they know it’s fake, we all know it’s fake, but they keep doing it anyways.

Also, along the same lines. The people that will tell you they are devout but through ignorance, intolerance and lack of general intelligence, do exactly the opposite of the teachings, using out of context references to the text as excuses for their terrible ways.

“Look like”

I feel like if the supernatural exists as portrayed by popular culture, then societies around the globe must have had a coordinated and lasting effort to snuff it out at every turn and would have to meticulously continue those efforts even today.

We could debate that the crusades, Salem witch trials, burning of the library in Alexandria, etc are all proof of this effort, but how could anyone really prove it? And would knowing it is real and it is just not accessible make things any better?

Honestly, as much as the idea of controlling forces not inherently responsive to my own command is intriguing. Realistically it would add a whole new level of messed up to our already botched attempt at existence as a species.

I prefer to think of magic as simply the science we haven’t yet discovered.

What do you think someone from a few centuries ago would say about the technology we have today?

It was real in 2023. It was quickly and aptly named the dickyberg.

That term alone should net you the appropriate search results to confirm it.

I’m surprised they can get insurance at all after all that has happened.

I don’t think this is as shocking as that headline wants it to be.

Other countries have proven this repeatedly, along with the fact that forced static learning and homework at young ages isn’t the way. Learning through play is far more effective.

Good luck convincing the old boots that make the decisions these days though.

Forest fires are no joke.

Prepare. Stay informed. Listen to the authorities.

If they tell you to leave your home and evacuate, leave.

Mine died instantly in an accident last year. Beautiful day, routine trip and things just went momentarily and horribly wrong.

I still have so much I wanted to learn from him and so much I want to say/talk about.

If you are reading this and you haven’t talked to your dad in a while or you have something you want to tell him. Do it. Now.

When it’s too late, it’s all you will think about.

Use it to hire most of the best minds to be found with the sole purpose of creating an expansive infrastructure to provide regular people the means to organize as one.

The undertaking would be staggering. Reviewing all the known history of man, considering all the languages, cultures, failures and successes.

Researching and combining all known technologies.

All to set the groundwork for a global union of human kind to be able to collectively counteract the disease that is the upper most classes.

After much daydreaming on the subject. I think this is the way of long term existential survival for the human race.

TL;DR: Basically, the Star Trek federation.

Anything that can be remotely considered beneficial to America or its allies seems to be now considered ‘woke’.
