I have the same thing. Sort of. I mean I don’t make the first move because of crippling social anxiety also, and I hate to say it, but it just gets worse when you get older.

The only good thing is, as you get older you stop worrying about it as much. You develop a more “it is what it is” attitude about everything.

Oh you do that, Biden. And Netanyahu, being profoundly interested in our point of view and well known for being open minded, will surely sit down and listen respectively and take your comments into account.

Netanyahu has one characteristic; it is self-serving and that means a total bloodbath for sport. It will never change its programming. But you just go ahead and try to get this filthy piece of stinking scum to recognize it’s own fatal flaw. That will the day. That will certainly be the great day we all so fucking richly hope for.

Sure, they demand change. And I would like to see a flying pig with purple and gold spots. We can all soothe ourselves with magical thinking that, somehow, all of a sudden, people will become humane, smart, caring and worthwhile.

I’ve been alive 7 decades and have seen 7 decades of war in the mid-East, of people hating police, of police brutality, of crime, of degeneracy, of hyped-up shit-brained plutocrats thinking they are the saviors of mankind, of protests, and hate and war mongering and sickness.

Nothing will change. The only outcome, to any of this, under any circumstances, is an all-out nuclear war, which if we are lucky will come sooner than later. Sweet oblivion. Total eradication of human filth - that is the only possible and hopeful course for the future of this planet.

There was no chance Putin wouldn’t stay in office, more’s the pity as it says all that needs be said about why mankind is unreedemable and unworthy of any sort of salvation. Humanity is a cesspool, and Putin is just one of many pieces of feces that swirl around thinking it is better than the rest of the stinking filth swirling around it.

Why can’t we just have the nuclear war we were meant to have by now? Why is it taking so long for us to hit those buttons and get this nasty shit over with once and for all? It’s the only outcome that will ever be possible, why are we prolonging it??

What about the content generators who earn their living from Tik Tok? Banning it is not the solution to fixing the problems with it.

In Utah they’re so frightened of social media that they have made it almost impossible for any social media companies to thrive here. Tik Tok is now in their crosshairs because it’s the fashionable GOP target, but previously it was facebook and the internet in general. Now they’ve passed laws to restrict internet usage for anyone under 21 - on the off chance some kid might see a cartoon of a bare butt or something, and their head might explode.

AI could be a creative tool for good, in the right hands; unfortunately, most people will use it to produce crap and to spread sick disinformation that, in many cases, will be libelous if not downright corrupt. The art of persuasion should have guardrails because, essentially, most people are pimps who stink excuses.

The world can’t afford the poor either. And yet, here we have rich and poor and all classes in between, existing and extant. That’s reality and you won’t change it no matter how much you kick against it.

I live in America. Yes I’m very sure about that.

No I’m not talking about U.S. cities, but places in Mexico and Asia specifically. And if I am deep throating the capitalist system, it’s because I have wisdom to do so. You can quit being a jerk and maybe listen to someone’s else’s point of view once in awhile.

What’s sad is, here in Utah our representatives are actively working against EPA emission standards and passing laws to restrict what the government can require from industries that produce greenhouse gases. Of course most of our legislature are shareholders in big oil and gas companies, so it’s no surprise that for them, money always comes first no matter what.

I get it, I was banned from Reddit for saying that being progressive was a good thing. That was just dandy. I consider it a badge of honor to have pissed them off so royally.

Could be that they mean “ass” in the zoological sense - as in something resembling a donkey or horse (for some reason).

Hold me I’m scared.

I was cleaning my cat’s litter box before rushing out the door to work, I had CNN on and they were talking about a plane hitting one of the twin towers, and I thought “how weird is that - what are the odds.” I remembered a plane had once hit the Empire State building many decades ago, so I just thought it was some bizarre freak accident.

And just before I was about to turn off the TV, the second plane hit. And I thought, what a weird freaky turn of events!!! It still hadn’t ocurred to me it was some kind of terrorist attack.

If you were here where I am, you’d absolutely think the weather outside is because the world is ending. The wind is blowing everything sideways and howling so loud that it’s like being under a jet engine times 200. Is this the apocalypse??
