It's too bad....I would definitely have been in a market for a 2nd version of the Apple Vision....lower the price a little...ditch the external TV "face" display...and maybe a little weight and I'd have been all over it.

I find myself often putting angle brackets "P" and other tags while typing on other sites...haha.

I have it so ingrained from being here for so long...

Well, that's the long stated thing about socialist type policies....at some point you run out of other peoples' money to spend...

Not happening.....the people getting pulled off streets, detained AND deported....are not US citizens.

Fuck'em...get them outta here.

We went to the moon to try and beat the Russians from getting there first. And it wasn't known if we would be able to beat them there either. This was all to prevent the Russians from actually scarring "us", like they did when they launched the first satellites, and the first people into space. The philosophical blow of allowing Russia to reach the moon would have possibly set back the fight between capitalism and communism decades. The loss of reaching the moon first on Russia was almost immediate, with the complete dismantling of their lunar space program and them not even attempting a lunar landing (they did at least repurpose the design of their lunar rover for use in cleanup of the Chernobyl disaster as it was the only vehicle design with enough radiation protection to the electronic control systems to be able to survive long enough to operate).

Nah...I just partied a lot....

Part of the whole experience....was fun.

And...what made it fun...was pretty much 100% a-political...

Meanwhile they wouldn't have invaded Israel if Israel hadn't been founded on Muslim land by the colonial powers as a place for European Jews to immigrate to. That country's founding displaced massive numbers of Muslims causing major humanitarian issues for neighboring countries like Jordon that still exist to this day. This wasn't land devoid of human occupation all these immigrants were moving on to, people lived on this land and lost their homes so Israel could exist

Again...don't care.

That land thing....long settled for most people. If it has been there over 50 years....it's a country and that land is theirs now.

It's the same feeling I get when people say the US is 'stolen land' and we should give it back to whomever....

Fuck that, everyone took land...for ages and well, what's there now is pretty much accepted as there and belonging to current occupants.

I'm no fan of ANYONE over in the Middle East...I'd like to just forget the who shithole part of the world over there and let then all blow each other up.

I do support getting off oil or at least THEIR oil so we no longer have any interest over there. I don't wanna force ourselves with mandatory green energy, but I'll support the idea of moving away from them having any influence at all over the western world.

Fuck'em all over there I say.

And actually, aren't ALL of then over there "semites"? Same original bloodlines I thought I heard/read somewhere?

I'm not anti anything, I just don't give a fuck about any of them. None of my business....stay over there any worship what you want, Jihad what you want, just leave us alone is what I'd prefer.

Anyway, it sucks what's going on over there, but I'd prefer the US to have as little to do with ANY of them over there as humanly possible as long as it doesn't mess with the interests of the US.

This is the ONLY country I really care about....I have no ill will to others...I don't wanna push anyone down or hurt them...as long as it doesn't get in our way.

oh, blame Benadryl!

Well, we should all judiciously use OTC meds....they pretty much all have some sort of side effects.

I have horrible allergies ...and Benadryl is a friend of mine, but I watch it....

But there are signs it can contribute to dementia risks in humans.

So, careful with ANY OTC meds the public can access.

Craziest part of this is the fact that the pollution was far worse for Boomers as factories were everywhere in the US.

Yeah...sure was fun as a kid, riding our bicycles behind the mosquito fogging trucks in the summer evenings....breathing in all that nourishing DDT.

;)

Someone forgot to read the context and realize what they were quoting was sarcasm....

I managed to squeeze 4 years of college into 6 years.....got my BS in the end.

I'm old....and I never had a SINGLE instructor mention anything political...one way or another .

I could never have told you what teacher leaned which way.

None of them had neon colored hair...none attempted to become a different gender, in fact I never could have told you what form of sexual friction they preferred.

They just taught the classes....gave tests....and grades.

It seemed SO much better then. THAT, was what I was paying for......not someone to TELL me how to think or sway me to their way of thinking politically or philosophically .

I don't see the reason for it being seemingly the main thing being pushed today in education.

When did this actuallly start?

I can't imagine the hard core shit you see today is more than 10yrs old?

But anyway, I graduated late 80's...never ran into this kinda crap when I was a student.

I think a lot of Americans, are probably like I am, and really don't give a fuck about the Jew (Israeli) or the Palestinians.....

I"m long tired of the footage...it really doesn't affect my life and since we can't "save the world"...I really don't pay much attention to it...

The main take away I get is, while it really sucks to be in that Gaza region or whatever the fuck they're calling it....this crap wouldn't be happening if they hadn't invaded Israel and killed, tortured and kidnapped a bunch of Jews.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. I mean, what did they expect would happen.

Sure I'd like things to stop and everyone sing kumbaya....but day to day, I don't give a fuck and I doubt most normal working people do.

We have much more important things on our minds, like immediate family, friends, making a living, etc.

Well, when you move your priorities to indoctrination over education.....people will eventually catch on and well, you see the results of that developing now right before our eyes....

Surely one of the Teletubby descendants on that commercial had some cyber experience and could help out, no?

I mean....they didn't mention a car....so, surely...some other skills...?

People throwing around "fascisim" like you are do not seem to understand what the word actually means....it isn't someone that disagrees with you....

So far, to the dictionary definition I don't see us being even close to fascism.....

And having a will....I don't think that has disappeared from the US, BUT....unlimited money to burn to do things, especially like you list out that not everyone really is pushing for....is a totally different matter.

I don't really know of, or hear grumbling about average every day US citizens clamoring for what you propose.....
