So I wonder how much of this is past life stuff. I have heard of people having pains from injuries in past lives. Some getting brain damage and speaking a language they have never heard fluently.
I do think we learn to intuit flavors though. Maybe its no more complicated than that. -
@jestdotty its about putting people in danger or harms way.
-
@jestdotty yelling fire in a theater puts people in danger if there is no fire. Inciting violence is another. Saying you are going to hurt someone as a credible threat. You can say these things, but there are consequences legally. So I think speech has limits before consequences. Some places have some really draconian laws about speech now though.
Also, no one is required to support you and give you a platform. So an editor is not required to publish your book for example. If you want a platform for speech that goes against the mainstream you have to build a platform or find like minded people to support you.
The government (at least in the USA) is not allowed to limit speech except is cases where it breaks the law. However, the Biden admin was paying major social platforms to limit speech illegally. That will be more apparent in the coming years I think. -
Tell them you have a headache and you have that not so fresh feeling.

@jestdotty did he even do the "Dad" voice?

It probably sounds like this, but lower pitch:

I do. Mostly when driving. Because I can't talk to people to figure it out. We don't have a a timeout flag for cars.
Also, if there is a power difference (manger to employee) and there is no open way to communicate. Then people will be passive aggressive. -
1. Nazi Germany chose not to pursue nuclear weapons because they simply were running out of time and resources. They knew the theory and were building/working on civil reactors.
2. The USA would have continued to pursue nuclear weapons regardless of what Germany did. Delivery over large distances was not yet a thing. They didn't have 3 stage rockets yet. Sure, they would have bombed the shit out of England. But they already did that with carpet bombing with V2 rockets. So until they get 3 stage rockets it is not a threat to USA. Not like it is today. The resources is also a problem. Not sure they had good enough uranium or not. Or could make the centrifuges en masse. I know the allieds did sink a ship because it had deuterium though.
3. If you look into the psychology of Hitler there may have not been a motive to actually win the war. But to cause as much death as possible on all sides. This part I find fascinating. -
@retoor I am working toward an "inspector" position so I can check for things like that.

don't dox, please.

At some point you learn to let go and realize that 99% of the internet is bullshit. While the other 1% is suspect. People are going to be "wrong" in our mind and will not accept any alternate views. The need to experience for themselves things to get perspective.
The phrase:
"They can't be told. They have to be shown." is very accurate. -
Continuous learning is a thing. But it is usually self directed.

@kiki I grew up using number 2 pencils. So I was thinking maybe people who grew up other places didn't have the same symbols for their stuff. That is why I explained so much.
-
@kiki the original post was "No." which is sometimes used to denote "Number". The response of "2" was to indicate "No. 2".

Zoom in on the picture of the pencil and you will see "No. 2" to denote number 2 pencil.

So yes, that was the intended pun. -
Most major social platforms are just free data extraction by gov agencies.

@TerriToniAX I don't know. I can't remember making this rant. But I feel like I should be eating eggs or something.

"beer weed". So if this can be genetically engineered. A weed that you can squeeze beer out of it. I need this in my life. I would become a gardener.

Sorry about your dog. I wish images worked so we can see your doggo.
My last dog that died is Blue. Last year about this time. Now he is in a little box the size of a cigarette pack on the mantle. He was a good doggo. He used to fat his way through my tv tray table and snag himself on my mouse cord. I had to put part of the cord under the corner of my laptop. I still keep the mouse cord under the corner of my laptop even though he is gone. -
@jestdotty this sounds like a drone that read an article once about preferred practices and didn't walk away with principles of the problem. Instead they took away absolutes which was likely a click bait title. So either they didn't read it and only saw the title. Or the content was way over their head. So incompetence at best.
-
@jestdotty what?!
I do it on purpose yes. I secretly have huge social media followings where I cause entire generations to do things that piss off AOK.
Okay, new idea for a book... -
Maybe your coworker Cicero will come around:

@D-4got10-01 do people at MS Office shake uncontrollably? I would check to see if its caused by the water cooler.

Funny thing. I didn't know we had cake in break room until after I posted this.
