Everything Mel Brooks.

Airplane!

The Producers

Blazing Saddles… etc.

So many of his movies have such memorable lines and jokes that still hold up today.

Not a VPN, but you may also want to look into I2P.

Basically, a p2p protocol for the entire internet.

Its considerably more complicated to set up than most modern VPNs, where nowaday’s its usually as simple as install an app with a GUI, verify some settings and you’re good to go, and i2p is also quite slow…

… but its totally free, and you can torrent over it, and as far as I know, if you’ve set it up properly, it is basically undetectable by ISPs, due to how it uses ‘garlic’ routing: basically, a whole bunch of users net requests are encrypted, anonymized, and then smashed into a big packet… so an ISP would have to untangle all of that for every packet, and afaik, none of them have figured out how.

I2P would obviously be horrible for watching streaming content though, snail speed.

Yep.

Its ‘federated’ as long as you ignore a single massive chokepoint controlled by one company that allows them to block/ban/censor users of any part of the system.

So functionally, their ‘federation’ system is actually just a false marketing/propoganda campaign that may also result in crowd sourcing some server costs.

It’s psuedo-federation, along the lines of a psuedo-historian or psuedo-scientist: They pretend to be something they are not, in such a way that makes them seem trustworthy when they are in fact not.

Completely off topic, but I first read that as ‘DNA’, did a double take.

At this point, an announcement that whoever is in charge of all DNA continuing to work just stepped down or got fired… wouldn’t really seem that out of character for this timeline.

Bingo.

Psycopathy/Sociopathy (They’ve been merged together into ASPD as of the DSM 5) is 100% normalized, actually idealized, often literally worshipped, promoted as the mode of behavior of a successful, powerful person.

… So long as you don’t directly go around murdering and robbing and defrauding people yourself, one at a time, if you can do all that indirectly via commanding or directing a complex, layered, system, then congrats, your psycopathy produces concentrated profits and socialized misery, and tens of millions of idiots will believe you are a role model.

Now we need Cardi B Linux alongside Hannah Montana Linux.

The problem is that they will tell people to pray away cancer, that diseases and injuries and such can be healed spiritually.

That means you can end up with kids who need actual medical help, and won’t get it, and will then be told that they’re sick because they didn’t pray hard enough, that their soul is impure and that’s why they’re sick.

Recent studies have it at closer to 92% ‘junk’ DNA, and 8% actively coding.

Also, a lot of non-coding DNA does actually serve other useful functions, it just doesn’t actively code.

It could play a role in epigenetics, ie the regulation of what active coding sequences are active and when, it could be telomeres that prevent DNA strands from unravelling at the ends, it could be binding and scaffold sites that assist in the structural stability and integrity of the chromosome.

DNA can be functional, without being active-coding.

Only regions that are both non coding and also totally non functional are truly ‘junk’, but we keep consistently finding more ways that ‘non functional’ regions are actually functional.

Life is a process of systems within (and outside of) an entity interacting consistently with each other.

Why would a static screenshot of exact chemical composition matter for any process that involves a moving or animated body?

A bricked computer with a corrupt boot loader is chemically the same as one that actually works.

A car is chemically the same before and after you turn the key on its ignition.

A lightbulb is comprised of the same substances whether or not its turned on or off.

… Part of the difference between an alive and a dead body, is that the chemical reactions that constitute animating the thing into being alive … have stopped.

A dead body is not metabolizing. It has no brain activity. The chemical reactions required to keep its heart beating are no longer happening.

Decomposition then sets in.

These are all differences in chemical processes.

Ironically Christian Scientists are actually a distinct sect/cult of US Protestant Christians and would be very angry at the Mormon idea of Kolob if they heard about it.

You joke, but lemme introduce you to Tacit Blue:

Yes, this thing did actually fly.

Stealth demonstator aircraft from the early 80s.

No, tumblr is terrible in a ‘hyperventilating gaslighting cliques of pretentious elitist malignant narcissists acting like cult leaders and followers’ way.

A cheap, run down, shady motel.

Ads within an ad, about about ads.

Can you put a liuqin in there?

Not at all, because I’m already convinced the CIA killed JFK, already know the FBI did everything they could to fuck with MLK including sending him fake ‘fan mail’ urging him to kill himself.

I reccommend the Eyes Wide Open channel on YT if you want extensive documentation of the CIA / FBI related fuckery going on from its inception through till the 80s.

Please outline your political/electoral strategy to accomplish this.

You would basically have to pass a constitutional ammendment if you wanted this to not just immediately be overturned by the next administration.

That means you need either:

2/3rds of the State Houses and Senates to call for a Constitutional Convention.

or

2/3rds of the Federal House and Senate to do the same.

… and then your new amendment(s) have to be approved by 3/4th of the State Houses and Senates.

Unless you have a plan to somehow get a supermajority of support from a supermajority of States, this is magical thinking and will never happen.

My generation, Millenials, tried but ultimately failed to overhaul first past the post voting to break the two party duopoly death grip, and rework the Presidential Electoral College into a popular vote.

Probably both of those are prerequisites for a durable Presidential max age.

Drag, Bot, whichever alternate identity is in charge right now, please go see a therapist and ask them to evaluate you for Dissociative Identity Disorder.

As the saying goes, you may not be interested in politics, but politics is interested in you.

Democracy doesn’t work if everyone is stupid and misinformed.

Americans currently have an average literacy ability of 5th - 6th graders. Less than 10% of Americans are capable of independently, critically evaluating contrasting information.

A person who chooses to be surrounded by stupidity, and then absorbs that stupidity, is stupid.

Yes, there is a difference between stupidity (low mental aptitude, ability, potential) and ignorance (low actual knowledge set), but ignorance makes you stupid, and stupidity makes you ignorant, or even worse, full of ‘knowledge’ of false facts.

Frankly, I’ll go so far as to say that if you willingly choose to consistently retard your own understanding of the world, by getting all your info from idiots on Facebook or TikTok, then you are definitionally retarded.

I’m very, very tired of acting like misinformed idiots, who continuous choose to become more idiotic and misinformed, who are extremely belligerent, do not accurately fit into this definition.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/retard

Merriam Webster:

retard (verb)

to delay or impede the development or progress of : to slow up especially by preventing or hindering advance or accomplishment

If a grown adult with the mental acuity of a child assaults you and tries to rob you, you are entirely justified in fighting them off and holding them morally culpable for their actions.

If said manchild instead publically advocates for and votes to have someone else do this to you, they are just as morally culpable.

Idiocy may be an explanation, but it is no excuse.
