Philosophy, creative writing, art, history, and linguistics are foundational studies to the human experience. By losing those we lose freedom of thought. Not by force but by simply forgetting the freedom exists. There is a deeply ingrained value in studying the technology of human expression. Especially today where we all spend alot of time online.

I'm getting paid tonight and I wanna go out solo. I'm open to anywhere relatively close to the j train.

Restaurants, late night cafes, but Im open to take out as well.

Then travel wherever you desire again and again. Earnestly pursue a hobby or buisness, read some damn books, write some words, practice an art or truthfully anything that you never imagined you'd actually do.

Money comes back, time does not. The most loving thing you can do for yourself is grow as much as possible.

Essentially, experiment with your own identity and say fuck the script that you were given. Nothing we do really matters in the vastness of time. The absurdity in which we live most our lives to garner resources and so little being within ourselves or our community is exactly the cause of the growing dullness in the world. Play with your life a bit. Societal expectation will always be waiting for you.

I saw in the past a few people excused the exchange of bumi and tom tom because mai was afraid of azula, but how do you explain ty lee tripping sokka and nearly making him fall of the structure while he held the baby? Irregardless of fear they didn't seem to mind if the baby actually got hurt.

Also the three girls left before the baby was returned. Mai cared more about seeing zuko then whether or not her brother was going to be returned. Literally the last time she sees her brother in the show is when she rejects him and her friend nearly kills him.

Do you think corporations ask too much or too little of employees?

What would you implement in order to make employment more valuable for the average american outside of just a means of survival?

Topics can include:

Vacation time

Pay

Maternal/paternal leave

Sick time

Work life balance

Cost of living

How hard/easy people are working

Home ownership

I mainly just wanna get a read on the conservative view of the current work culture in america.

Something you feel isn't getting much attention or just something you care about.

Palantir is a software company mainly using Ai for defense, intelligence and commercial use.

Palantir gets a set of data and finds patterns in the data.

It is named after the seeing stones from lord of the rings that are connected to sauron an evil immortal trying to take over middle earth.

Flock cameras are intended for identifying license plates that would aid in police investigation. There has been growing concerns about safety, misuse and privacy violations with the cameras.

Recently anybody would be able to access flock cameras. I'm not sure if thats changed.

Named after the word FLOCK. Which is a group of animals typically birds or sheep that are assembled or herded together.

I fear that this is as important of a conversation as gun control laws. Isn't this just making a police state easier to obtain? Genuinely what's the worst that could happen and do you believe that the pros outweigh the cons?

I think in general most people don't trust the government.

Chinese robots are currently very clumsy but they can run and they can fight. Ai tech companies are pushing it down our throats forcing us to teach Ai as much about humanity as possible. America specifically is on the verge of becoming a surveillance state due to the massive amount of flock cameras being placed.

There are still human tribes that completely reject modern civilization. Most of the world is still in a loop of colonial oppression. We support these companies creating this technology without regard. Then we get those exact same companies getting government contracts and investments. These are potentially tools of war against the average person.

Even this damn post just got flagged by AI for being political. Red flags

​

Most of these companies aren't making much money and by going public they can offset the loss to people. If you have a 401k or any index fund you will be automatically bought into the companies.

50billion in yearly revenue. 2 trillion in private investor funding. Going public inflated the value allowing them to pay off their investors.

Not really knowledgeable about economics but from my understanding thats what's happening.

Flock cameras.

Ai facial recognition that can find everything about you thats online.

Police tracking people from state to state.

Are currently what we have happening.

He looked up, was going to say something and then was "swept" by wind.

I always felt like Anne Rice initially planned to make lestat his killer but changed her mind when she decided to make lestat the main character.

Hi, I'm freshly moved to the city for school, I'm having trouble meeting alot of my needs right now after moving freshly into a new place. The main one being food and transportation. I'm a big borrower and can show you a long cash app history of paying off my debts. Willing to give my name and number if need be. I can accept lower or higher and will pay back 150% of what was given. I have a guaranteed paycheck as a disabled vet. But its just not enough to cover this month's expenses. Anything helps thank you!!!!

A hot take is controversial opinions will be split about it. Racism is bad no matter the circumstance so its not a hot take.

She's a vampire they are supposed to be unchanging. I can understand madness from brain overload after living long enough. What I don't understand is her mind decaying or her having little contact with humans. I also don't understand how she was even able to find akasha if she was mostly not there by the end of qotd time period. I know it was a set up to make lestat the host but I feel like Anne Rice had to break her own rules to do so.

I can hear pitch difference. Like i can tell the difference between a c4 and a c2. I can tell the difference between a c and a d.

I can't tell you what the difference is and it makes it hard to understand matching pitch with a piano. I mainly guess when im trying to match pitch but am usually off. How do I know if I'm correctly matching pitch on my own? And then how do I replicate it?

Americans are taxed more today then what triggered the revolutionary war with little representation. I think i understand the aspect of smaller government in that context. It takes so much for anything to get done on a federal level that nothing ends up getting done for years. We do this left and right battle but at the same time the american people recognize that at the end of the day politicians mainly work for their own interests.

My issue is giving the states too much power will quickly impede on the rights of many especially in states that have a large religious population.

Companies cutting costs on goods while raising the price of those same goods (shrinkflation). The excuse is always "well we are forced to pay people more now."

Companies are buying houses which i personally think should be illegal. Its a corporation why do you need to own a family home? The newer generations are suffering under the weight of government and corporate greed.

Buying a house is becoming unlikely for most. Getting proper health care is a nuisance.

Everything has poison in it for some reason.

And of course as life gets harder for everyone. Xenophobia and racism are on the rise because the politicians want to blame someone. So it must be those "insert group" stealing jobs from "insert group being manipulated."

America is beginning to look like a pyramid scheme. How is any of this even possible? How are we in a housing crisis? How are we in a health crisis? How has america been so mismanaged that our children now have to struggle more than our parents? Genuinely who is making these decisions?

why do we vote for the lesser evil? Why do we willingly accept that the government cannot be trusted when the point of a government run by the people is that they are supposed to be more trust worthy? Big government is bad for the country but I feel like small government is bad for the individual.

I think alot of american ideals are outdated and actively work against human nature which itself is a disease in society. Americans want to be hyper independent selfish individuals that live in a society where no one is owed anything but that itself is contradictory to what society is. We all have to participate in this for it to function. So many people are comfortable with trying to put in the least and take out the most. If this keeps up what will the country look like in 10 years?
