  • Amongst stated reasons, “signing up” is more difficult here. Its not as straightforward a process and content isn’t as spoon fed to you as other platforms. The tech literacy needed to get here isn’t high, but as I learned the average tech literacy is abysmal.

    About 10ish years ago when I was 14, I helped some people print something. They tried printing something from a computer plugged into the printer, an error popped up saying “printer not connected”. I thought, thr printer must be, yknow disconnected. Some 6 people had gatherd trying to troubleshoot this but were stumped. I pointed out the error message that kept coming up, didn’t click. I followed the cables from the pc to the printer, it was disconnected, I plugged it in and reported back. They where stumped on how I possibly knew what was wrong or how to fix it.

    I am not good with technology, but im good enough to know im not good with technology. I have found most people, even those younger or same age tend to not be tech literate.

    Finding the application and filling it out for any random federated instance may seem like nothing but it requires an ammount of literacy many Americans dont have.


  • Yeah, I think objectively the “A.I.'s” are kind of neat, like those old desktop pal cats kinda of neat, cost almost nothing to run. But A.I. costs such an extreme ammount of resources to run enitre cities could be run in its deficits alone. We do not have the energy, water, or computers to run it, but something is bankrolling it.

    There is an old joke, a presenter at a goverment conference talks about pavlov conditioning on mice, saying due to thier simple nature they can be conditioned to repeat certain behavior at the ring of a bell, during his presentation someones phone chimes…and everyone pulls out thier phone to check if it was thiers.






  • I always appreciated the professors that looked out for us and warned us of the places not to get any textbooks from, with links so we could recognize what to avoid, of course.

    Then we’d get a professor that gave up doing anything and had us buy a $200, license (with a $200 textbook) to an online course that taught and graded his class.


  • 1% or less.

    1. They probably wont nullify the 2 term limit, can’t easily go back and after trump, will there be a democrat monarch?

    2. He wants fame and wealth, he will burn everything to get it. In this term he will burn the most of the bridges with his backers.

    3. His actions will accelerate the victory or death of his backers. Either his backers wont need him or cant back him, so he probably will get waning support.

    4. He may not live until the end of his term, let alone a third.

    5. He is too prideful, he wont bow to being a VP and will pull something that will sabotage the president on ticket.

    6. U.S.A. or the world may be destroyed in the next 5 or so years.

    7. He will try at least 1 coup this term, i’d be suprised if it wasn’t more. He will fail and/or drag the nation to civil war in the process. He doesn’t have the backing of the army and not all states are under him

    For any of these reasons or a combination therof, makes him serving a third term highly, highly unlikely.

    I am still concerned about fluoride, but for different reasons. The federal government says there is too much natural fluoride in our water so we must import water to dilute it. The federal government doesn’t trust us with police officers, or politicians, but surely the public water company isn’t corrupt or incompetent…surely.

    But hey, our teeth are really white and no ones died from flouride, far more likely to die from sudden lead.

    It always gets mez the older I get I better realize how Jank my education was,

    Elementary school taught me addition, Middle School Taught me multiplication Junior High Taught me pre-algebra College is teaching me addition, but with common core

    One day, maybe for my bachelor’s I’ll learn some of those funny math symbols…but not today
