Cities are run by governments.

Ok, so maybe power devolved to a local authority, but still government that raises revenue through taxation.

And home gardens are great, I wouldn't be without one....But far to many people are too lazy to bother.

I repeat.

It was you that brought up the subject of whining. #56

A vitriolic attack against the invisible tyrants who mess with your head.

Invisible tyrants also inside your head.

Take that and analyse it Sigmund.

I know.

And good morning RM.

Unfortunately I must go do some chores now....Unfortunate, In so much  as I can't chat for longer.

Have a nice day.

Yep.

Such is Human evolution.

There is such a thin line between rap and comedy.

Just as there is such a thin line between Putin and comedy.

If you think about things in a certain way........Then everything can take on a certain hilarious futility.

Circumcision is a perverse concept and practice for sure.

And self mutilation and disfigurement is a just as bizarre.

As bizarre as all the rituals of contrived religions.

And yep, it's so hard not to be a hypocrite.

I am an unmarked, unmodified, uncircumcised atheist.

I am the righteous one.

Save for all out conflict...Not a good option in my opinion....Would reunite the Russian people against "The West".

The general international response to the Putin regime, is working well.

Make sure that Ukraine has both military and humanitarian support, disenfranchise the Putin administration and show support and appreciation for all moderate Russians.

Disregard Russian State propaganda, and I think you will find that Putin has very few honest Russian admirers...If push comes to shove, allegiances will shift very quickly.

Young Russians are now a part of the global digital community, with little love of Putinesque cold war paranoia.

A Russian problem which must ultimately be resolved by the Russian people....And not by a U.S, Chinese or Indian President.

Ha Ha.

One could have put money on your response.

Russia is the largest country in the World ...Population 146 million approx.

 

U.S.A ties for 3rd place in size...Population 335 million approx.

Let's not worry about the Chinese for now.

I'm not sure with what logic you attribute failure to 335 million people.

I'm not sure how one attributes failure to 146 million people.

Things just ain't that simple, except as rhetoric and propaganda, of course.

Trouble is, what you are suggesting seems to be what usually ends up at as an instantaneous failure of communism.....Namely Tyranny....The Country according to Lemming, becomes the Country according to Lemming....Or Putin, or Kim etc.

Doesn't international trade facilitate/necessitate a certain level of international cooperation. Therefore a certain level of international accord?

Everything is real within a context, therefore everything is true within a context.

Basically the conversion of incoming signals into understandable data and the manipulation thereof, resulting in whatever one chooses to reconstruct, and perhaps output.

x 7.9 billion approx.

Oh inspiring Jaisha love.

Me the man of flesh, bone,

Conscienceless in thought,

Spiritless in anonymity.

Poetic inversion the crudity of lust,

For words outpouring,

Like a monsoon,

Breaches the gutters of your mind.

Line upon line,

Of out-drenched dissolute ecstasy.

Government controls......That's the point....And a big country needs a big government.

The opposite of no control is a chaotic society.

So the present government might not be the one you voted for, but that's the outcome of a free election.

Not that another lot would have made much difference in practice.

The difference would only have been inside your head.

So you dislike tyranny....But I'm guessing that the opposite of what you currently perceive to be tyranny, is just your own version of tyranny.

And what you describe is fairly typical behaviour, not mixing outside of your immediate group of family and established acquaintances....I'm exactly the same.

Though I'm content and you're not.....And the difference is not other people or big government.....The difference is just in the way that we think.

That is to say, that all the external problems that you assume affect you personally, are actually only internal problems that you create yourself.

And the 1960's were halcyon days of childhood, never to be repeated....Accept or brood, that's your choice.....

Though ironically the Russian problem has similarly returned to haunt us.

And whining was your contribution to the discussion......I just threw it back at you.

So Jaisha love.

And me all smiling at the frustrations of a misspent youth,

And the frustrations of an unspent youth.

Fairies and digital fantasy cock frustrated,

Splashing the floor,

Rapid handed cock screen temptress.

And thy remote love

For a remote witch, slender and dark in the mind

Frodo energy exudes at every thrust of the screen thumb

Fantasy energy exudes that salty contagion

Vampire dream sucking energy.

Temporary depletion.

So she-man Jaisha remote lover of the Princess Witch.

Time and tide wait for no person.

For the fantasy princess daren't look the mirror in the eye,

Lest it shatters into a thousand vicious shards,

Of age worn energy sucking deception.

Dream on hand lover.

It is about you, that's the point.

I like you am not a leader, we have adopted/adapted to other social niches.

But you are the type a person that constantly moans about those that have become leaders.

And fortunately you and I both live in countries where we are free to moan about our elected leaders.

Though I don't bother, because I am happy with the status quo and the freedom it affords me.

So if you're so unhappy with your lot, instead of moaning get up of your backside and go make a difference.

Alternatively you could just decide to be content with your lot, and channel all that energy you waste upon pointless negativity, into something positive.

So what's it to be?......Grumpy old git or contented bystander.

Happy Purim.

And freedom from oppression for sure.

So Happy Purim to all Palestinians  Ukrainians and decent Russians too.

And to everyone else around the World who is denied freedom of expression.

Let's be honest.

Who's whining?

And why is it always someone else's fault?

Maybe, just maybe, your own internal negativity is exactly what it is.

Perhaps something to do with setting unachievably high standards, and too much reliance on digital misinformation.

I was sort of agreeing.

Though the truth of the effect is human susceptibility.

As I stated, most people will only have very basic information relating to Nelson Mandela, probably just gossip from TV news. Ask them for a specific fact, such as in what year did Nelson Mandela die and 99 out of a 100 would probably have to guess. So it wouldn't be difficult for a charismatic person to trick people into accepting a false account.

The response may seem to be collective false memory, but the basis of the effect is purposeful trickery, and human susceptibility. Especially in situations where people want to be seen to be woke or not intellectually lacking.

N.B.    99 out of a 100 is obviously not an accurate statistic, though I have asked 6 people today and none of them knew when Nelson Mandela died.

How random is magic?

I would say that magic is pretty specific.

Chaos is a state of mind.

And we assume because we are,

That the universe is.

So if the universe is, it could be, either with or without us,

Perhaps.

But therein lies a planetary spec of dust with an atmosphere that sustains an ecosystem.

Crazy but true,

I think.

But if we didn't think we wouldn't,

And who would know if the universe was or wasn't.

Something else perhaps.

Maybe,

Quantum mechanics,

Otherwise currently known as,

Bits of flying around stuff.

The reality is that what can be done can be done.

And inherency is a physiological proposition.

Is postnatally acquired data, inherently acquired data?

Not really, so morality and consequently immorality become preponderant make believe.

So in reality, fucking whatever, isn't actually moral or immoral, it's just the manifestation of the real needs of inherency.

But it's been a long time since we left the trees, and started making up and remembering stuff.

Perhaps it would be better to adopt the sperm bank and castration system of population management.

Along with quotas and gene scrutiny.

I think that it's fair to say that the above statement is the epitome of vagueness.

Of course, once a reasonably biggish event has occurred, you will be able to say, I told you so.

Not that standing and observing a clear night sky, cannot inspire a spiritual response. Of course it can, the vastness of the unknowable universe is the greatest of mysteries.....But that's a wholly internal human physiological issue.

In short....Light enters the brain via the eye and is converted into imagery, which stimulates a pleasing chemical response.

And all associable data contrivances such as astrology (and marketing astrology), follow on from that.....All created within though....That is to say, make believe.

No harm in that though.

Unless such data is used to make believe that harm is a necessary consequence of the cosmos.

And of course, given a World population of 7.9 billion, in 195 different nations, and the innumerable amount of events  generated therein. It's all too easy to concentrate upon the coincidences and overlook the hiss.

But Hey....Enjoy astrology peacefully and carefully and don't let me dampen your enthusiasm.

I don't think that there is anything peculiar about the "Mandela effect".

It's just trickery that  exemplifies the fallibility of the human.

So Broome told a lie, and gullible people lacking pertinent knowledge and not wishing to appear foolish and unsophisticated, bought straight into the lie without a second thought.

Basically they were intentionally tricked.

Very few people will know a great deal about the life and times of Nelson Mandela. For most he's just a fairly well known South African guy.

Of course, the whole Mandela effect thing might be a Mandela effect thing.....Can you be sure that it's not?

My life is just fine.

What is it that you cannot do, that makes you so unhappy?

Or do you just constantly  buy into negative social media and peer based propaganda?

Mines a nice chilled bottle of IPA.

Cheers.

Or ask them about the key to their success.

The war was started by a typical Russian paranoid megalomaniac.

And perpetuated by a descending hierarchy of lackies.

Ok Mr Vlad let's go fight the Ukrainians.

Believe the bullshit, do the bullshit.

And for sure, it's all about wealth and power.....And who get's to fuck the most women.

Seriously....It's just the evolution of base instinct.

And you can be certain that  younger fitter stags are watching and sniffing and waiting for the opportune moment to move in.

Whilst those with weakness of mind will be thrown to the wolves, with arrogant disregard.

As long as the blocked responds pertinently to a thread, then the onus falls upon the blocker to ignore.

If the blocked chooses to not ignore, then that is the choice they make.

In my experience of Dart and in my opinion, I find those who have a tendency to use the block function, do so for disingenuous reasons.

@Poly

Spirituality, as in a physiological response to a specific stimulus, is a normal occurrence.

I don't quite see what the big deal is about spirituality.

Other than some people like making a big deal about it......Which often results in exaggeration and fantasy scenarios.

And anyone that is near death, will have a near death experience....That's pretty logical.

And anyone that is actually dead, cannot possibly recount tales of an afterlife.....Obviously.

Therefore a living experience is not evidence of a non-living experience.

Well.

My children are 34 and 36 years of age.

Not sure they would want to go sight seeing with Mum and Dad.

But you never know.

And yep...Class based exploitation was the norm, and is ongoing.

Always make it so, that people want what they can never quite afford.

Therefore in my opinion, one of the keys to contentment is to not want what is unaffordable.

Regards.

Oh dear.

Society is always controlled.

But perhaps in not the way that you think you want it to be controlled.

You would just want to control society differently.

So what changes would you make?

The opposite of control is no control, and I'm not sure that would be much fun either.

Yep English, from the Germanic Angle.

We're all bloody German Stephen, even the f**king Queen.

And I and Mrs Zed crossed the imaginary line and invaded Wales about 8 years ago.

Ah. 

But even though things might seem grimmer these days to us 60ish type people.

The mire of doom and angst is only really inside ones head if one lets it persist there.

And where from did/do we acquire this angst laden mire of doom?

I believe it's known as IT.

That marvellous technological revolution that was going to make our lives so easy.

You and John Cleese.

Like peas in a pod.

Notwithstanding the Angles

And........Given the nature of migration from the cradle of humanity, I doubt that there is such a thing as a native Brit.

We're only as native as at the point in the past  we choose to start from.

I think that it's fair to say that we are all native earthlings.

So I don't feel that I can claim reparations from anyone.

For sure, in so much as that which can adapt.

But I was referring to the overall balance of the Earth's atmosphere.

That which sustains the only known planetary ecosystem.

Yep. Well written.

Such is social hierarchy evolved from natural ability, coupled with data development and transfer.

And gas is ten dollars a gallon.....Such is the price of not walking.

I would suggest, just from a thoughtfully logical view point, that the long term detrimental effects of deliberate cigarette smoke inhalation, cannot be beneficial to living systems.

But then, the long term effects of living also has it's drawbacks.

A single aberration in DNA coding might already have us singled out for a earlier than hoped for demise.

So enjoy living whilst it's still possible to do so.

So, as with the oxygen discussion, this just goes to exemplify the evolved fragility of Earth's ecosystem?

Nonetheless, it all makes for an alternative discussion topic.

So well done.

Covid was an excellent motivator.

So maybe a deadlier virus.

If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Aphophasis and Phaneron.

Overthink because one can.

The sponge thing was a good example.

The nature of oxygen is such that it readily combines with other elements to form essential life sustaining chemical molecules. All within the tenuous stability of Earth's atmosphere.

Try breathing in outer space.

Wear a mask if you want,

Wear steaming dog shit turds on you face,

For all I care.

I won't wear one,

Because, 

Fuck you.

Wear a mask,

Care for all,

And steaming dog shit turds on your shoe,

If you want

Fuck!

Let's face it.

Life's one big risk.

Stay safe,

No point hiding.

So watch wear you step.

Nice one Doc.

So much wrong with this statement.

Probably why you made it.

Most life is life based or carbon based.

And living processes are reliant upon O as a molecular component.

H2O or CO2 for example.

Any expert chemists out there?

10.5 inches, with a decent girth.

A Gnome with an extensive tool kit then.

A few people think that they are something, and adopt a label.

And some people think that other people are something, and apply labels.

But the reality is that most people within a given society are moderately the same.

And most of the time, this balance works as well as can be expected.

Somewhere between 0 and 100.

Though younger than me, and older than some of the boys on this site.....So between 20 and 50.

If we split the difference, then my guess would be 35ish.

Anywhere near?

Questions are complex because the answers become not straightforward.

In Russia not too many questions get asked......They have a put up and shut up or else approach to doing stuff.

Social evolution is a variable phenomenon.....As is all too apparent.

Reality is always internally relevant.

No different to consuming any pathogen.
