If I look around me and continue to find everyone else just complaining and arguing than doing something about their problems, then why the fuck should I be the one to do it for them?

I mean yes, I’ve been having scenarios in my mind about how glorious it’d be to assassinate Trump, Musk, Vance and whoever I can get my hands on who are Republican and messing with power.

But then a couple striking things came to my mind. If I did that, throwing everything and everyone away in my life to accomplish a pretty slim chance in achieving such a goal, what are the odds the American people will later vote in someone just as bad if not worse than Trump? Then my valiant effort would’ve been in vain. Would it have been worth it?

Then the other thought is, people are just going to go back to being shitty among themselves and infect that to everyone else near them so it wouldn’t have fucking mattered anyways. I would’ve only made things feel good for the moment and for a little while until the dust all clears and things will be back to “normal” soon enough.

Because then I’d also realize, that for real change to happen, needs to be a grand collaborative effort and we aren’t there yet and probably may not be there ever. Sure, I’ve disposed of one of those targets, but there’s still a deal of corrupt wealthy assholes around. What I’d do isn’t going to incite people to do the same, they’re just going to sink back into their armchairs and give a big sigh of relief that someone else did something they wish they could do.

And at that point, yeah I’d rather care now about shit that don’t matter to people but matters to me because of those few facts.

Four things come to mind:

Who was meant to be the X to my Y? What was I meant to do in my life? Whose lives did I help change the most? Whose lives did I actually make a living hell?

What the fuck does any of that rambling have to do with the question?

The attention has gravitated away from torrenting to streaming. Where, the anti-piracy outfits are more concerned sniping down streaming services. It was almost like they completely forgot torrenting was a thing. But, they have also taken down some big names too during the heydays of torrenting.

I just learned today that the concept of timezones was not invented until 1876.

That feels relatively young for something like that, I would’ve thought maybe that would’ve been a little further back.

I have two aunts, one in the UK and the other about a state away from me. I’ve known them for about 4 years and they’ve been the best aunts I’ve come to know. I used to have a chosen mother but things with her are up in the air after coming to light some very questionable content being shared on her FB that takes jabs at transgenders.

No but there are some people who tend to act holier than thou because they have hundreds to thousands of meaningless points. I find out that they tend to be uptight assholes.

You’re on the money with this one.

ADHD, Depression and Anxiety is stupid common for this very reason. People self-diagnose themselves all of the time, too afraid to go to therapists because maybe there’s a good chance that the therapist might tell them that they’re wrong and over-blowing themselves about what they think they have.

I sympathize with actual mental health sufferers, who have had their care stalled and stagnated, because a lot of these self-diagnosing types are blurring the lines.

Then when you try educating the fakers, out come the accusations that you “hate people who suffer mentally” and that “you don’t understand.”

Oh we do, we’re waiting for you to finally come around!

I really wish this was the norm. I never understood why the lights have to be so damn bright, why the music has to be loud and repetitive and just general noise. I remember having gone to Wal-Mart when they once were 24/7 and going in at 2 in the morning to shop was pure damn bliss. Much better than the times I’ve gone in and people are stupid, noisy and in your way all of the time.

Despite Chuck Berry predating them by 2 years. Elvis, Buddy Holly and several others making their crafts.

It was exactly the same case for metal music. Black Sabbath is hailed as the founders of Metal music, but there had already been seeds planted for the genre to blossom anyways before they were a thing.

The thing about inventions is that, a fair amount of them will have a name tied to it who you’ve never ever heard before. But you’ll most likely believe the name that is tied to it but should be more credited with refining the invention to what it would be. And one poster clearly explained that.

There will always be someone somewhere inventing something, but there’s also opportunists out there ready to pounce, take up the invention, patent it before someone else does and run away with the credit.

Man, look at most of these well-off parents splurging on their kids. Are you sure the economy is in the sinker? /s

Yep this guy has a bone to pick here. It all adds up.

As long as moral constraint is prominent, there will always be an eternal struggle with peace and violence.

Someone who wants to do good, will fear of doing what’s necessary, even if it includes violence.

And authority is another constraint, we can’t just simply dispose of those who we absolutely know for certain, are irredeemable that resolves things through violence. Because justice, due process, yadda yadda
