I doubt it. Maybe there are differences, but there’s zero chance we have anything close to enough data that could draw correlations to negative effects. This is China, if not intentionally crafting data, then definitely broadcasting data that reinforces the cultural narrative they’ve already set. If the finding were to prove contrary to their brain rot position, I doubt they’d be broadcasting.

Just cuz a brain might work different doesn’t mean it’s bad. It took morning people, evening people, and nights watch people to keep us alive for the past millenni’i, why do morning people have a favored position in society? It’s bullshit and fucked up if you ask me. There’s medical evidence of sleep types, why can’t we use that to force a schedule change? Bring back night court, fuck.

I assume ADHD brains are different from neuroboring ones too, and as an ADHD brained individual I don’t consider it a disability, or a defect or detriment. I have traits I have learned to accommodate and traits I actively protect myself from, and they might not be neurotypical ons, the most common thousand or so nuerotypical problems, I dont have. And I think that life without endless curiosity with the ability to singularly deep dive any topic for essentially forever just wouldn’t be an existence worth living. I honestly feel I can do whatever it is I set myself too, regardless the complexity. I can’t imagine the world seen from despondent resignation.

Ive pondered more than once if I would be better off without the ADHD hyper sensitive sense of justice. I’ve said for years that I started this life off as lawful good and life’s caused me to slide all the way down to chaotic neutral.

Is that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei?

I like the cut of your jib.

I have flood lights outside I put together from fog lights, motion sensors and lux level sensors, just in case something comes up on us in the night. I’m off-grid and battery power is always at a premium, so usage sensors are a hedge I’m willing to make.

Hey thanks for fleshing that out for me. That takes me back, makes me think of sitting in my room listening to RATM I just downloaded and burned off Napster and defragging the computer.

I miss the Internet of old. Before everyone got on it. We had hope then

In tech, SMART is an acronym. I shit you zero nots, this is for real.

Self Monitoring And Reporting Technologies

Fuck SMART everything. I am fundamentally at odds with telemetry, what is it up to half our mobile data plans are lost to advertisers? W.t.f.

Desantis expanded Florida’s State flood insurance, actually.

Don’t give him too much credit tho, he was forced too because every insurance provider for over half the state bailed, so he had too.

It’s also shitty insurance, from what I’ve read and filing a claim will most likely be worse than diy dental surgery. It will almost definitely be worse than Florida’s unemployment webpage, which is decidedly hostile, with obfuscated links, built-in and artificial long load times, and designed to be as unappealing as possible.

GOP “help” . With friends like these; who needs enemies, right?

China has publicly included the loss of Manchuria to Russia in like 1905~ to be part of it’s great century of shame and that China considers it part of Greater China.

Expanding North beyond that into Siberia would open up the arctic ocean to them, which if nobody does anything, will only get more valuable as we heat up

I wonder how much of this is due, or is spurred on, regardless of the publicly stated corporate slop, pressure from their government as they are ramping up military production in hopes of making a Chinese attack cost more than it’s worth.

That’s why he said “old guy question”.

I graduated in 99. I can take cell phones apart and put them back together all day but ANYTHING to do with the carriers I have negative interest in. I would rather eat paint chips while listening to harpies screeching. I just can’t be made to care.

There’s always just some people, with everything, who just don’t fucking care and nothing will ever change that. With every subject.

With homeboy here, I would t spend 1300 on a phone. Ever. I’d go out, today at this point in history, and buy a used pixel 7 (or 8 if priced right), root it and put GrapheneOS on it, but that’s just me.

The only way to have money is to not spend it and very few things are worth feeling the despair that can come with being broke. At this point in my life, there’s nothing that I can think of that’s worth being broke over. Not one single thing out there.

A hung jury just allows the prosecution to retry him

It’s up to the prosecutor if it’s worth the expense or not.

So if I were to take one of them cars and drive out to the middle of nowhere in the desert where there’s no cell service, what’s it gonna do? Shut off once it’s roaming? Not start back up and strand me in 115° heat? I just want to be prepared for my lawsuit that’s all

Yet they want a blanket ban, and once concentration camps are up and we’re officially beyond the pale…and anything not that same shade of pale finds itself in those camps…I don’t think people are gonna want to emigrate here or any of the five eyes.

Letting the bankers take the wheel in the 80s has cannibalized the health of all Western society and commodified whatever was left.

We were told to worship no one other than God/the source/the creator/the allfather/the universe/the truth/whatever you want to call it…but all I see is worship of another invisible diety, this invisible hand of the market - easily the most worshipped god in the modern day. Capitalism is incapable of bringing about salvation, unless you believe in accelerationism, and then everyone participating is gonna be found wanting.

Like, capitalism has failed to even create a society where it’s own people want to breed in. Something so easy for us and we would rather throw it all away, myself included. For comparison, Mozart had 11 children. 2 survived into adulthood.

With an exception carved out for Tesla, I’m sure.

In the same vein, all the techbros who voted for Trump are gonna be real asshurt once immigration exemptions are made for tech workers

Like silicon valley is gonna be forced to pay market rate for American talent, pffh, c’mon now. Wages are like prices but the opposite. Prices always go up and never back down. Wages always come down and never go back up. Tech workers enshittification will commence at triple pace now

It’s a fallacy that law enforcement needs 30 secs of someone on the line to trace a call. Any call can be traced, almost immediately. I doubt the largest cell providers even require a warrant . we know for a fact that Amazon hands over video from ring cameras with or without owners permission. I bet if someone were inclined to try, they could probably call up Amazon, say they’re a cop and just “here you go, hero”. Smh. Regardless, it’s not like there are judges that effectively give autographed rubber stamps to the police chiefs, right?

Every death threat that isn’t followed up upon is a choice made by LE. They allow this to continue. It could be shut down, right fucking now, if they would just do their fucking jobs and not leverage domestic terrorism because it benefits them.

The Dixie cups gave him strength

Once you have so much it’s obscene, you don’t have any peers.

Without peers, you don’t have true accountability. Without accountability man becomes monster

It should be in the DSM, seriously. Then we can argue we’re legislating a maximum annual income limit for their own good, to protect their mental health - and we wouldn’t be lying in the least.

Ever met a wealthy child?

Monsters. All of em. #eattherich

The truly sad part too, is real connection to the past, to humanity, that wave of empathy and seeing your place in the chain, happens when we are doing the same mundane things that those chucklefucks think their too good for. First time it happened to me I was meading the dough for some daily bread. And it was like the history of my ancestors and I all merged into one, all around this one activity.

People without people aren’t people.

I mean…Russia stands to benefit the most from climate change. Followed by Canada.

A few degrees centigrade and just about everything below the 40th parallel become unhabitable. That leaves the northern border states in the US. 350million of us gonna squeeze into Washington, Montana (fuck Idaho) N.Dakota Minnesota, NY, New Hampy, Verminion and Maine? IDK about that.

For the first 20 years of my life I thought we would step up and have a plan to avoid the worst. That next 20 years I was waiting for real coordination to be heard over the politicking. The last few years I realized we do have a plan. And that plan is the exact one I thought was waaaay too barbaric for modern times but now I’m convinced it’s the only outcome we’ve planned for at all.

And that’s to build the wall and drop a machine gun every 20ft. There’s ~200million people between us and South America and the army has way way more ammunition stored up than just that.

So the choice of having the world’s rich humbled down to the common man and we all degrowth or slaughter 200million people, America has chosen blood.

Politics is nothing but coordinated violence, in that it is nothing but coercion of people against their own interests. If you’re an interested party, than youre adding to the coercion of others. If you stay out of it, then it’s not political to you is it?

Politics:violence

Politics:economics

Economics:violence

Try telling people whose rent has doubled or tripled within a decade that economics isn’t violence. You’ll experience some carnal violence in return, I’m sure.

Politics = violence; it’s the NC-17 version, violence all grown up and sophisticated. Sanitized for TV, in it for the sound bites. In fact, I’d say at least half of it is theatre alone. It’s even been packaged up for the people to play along from home. The evolution of violence, fun for the whole family. I mean, what else would we talk about come holidays? HELPING each other?!?

We should call him Macroni, a la crony capitalism and it sounds as stupid as his face looks.
