Random Thoughts Thread

It should be easier to search YouTube videos in various ways.

Every video ever published, oldest to newest for example.

With more and more AI content, I yearn for older videos.

Same with other sites for art, photos, stories.

Date verified content before AI, is 'worth 'more now I'd figure.

A wide majority of dairy cows are brown, so generally speaking, chocolate milk does come from brown cows.

Blacks must like chocolate milk.

It's not the old thread, but it'll do

Chocolate seems to stick to blacks.

Was/Is DC dangerous or run down?

On the news people seem unhappy about the recent police actions in DC.

From a pure function point of view,

Some cities might 'be better off with a cleaning.

Areas with falling buildings, homeless, and graffiti everywhere I mean.

But of course people aren't 'so easily moved or their property appropriated.

. . . Not to mention the 'size of some run down cities in the world.

. . . Not that people 'aren't moved or their property appropriated at times, just isn't always 'easy or 'right of the government.

Maybe functionally not the best method of fixing the problem either.

Civil war was a solution in the past. It worked.

I think there might be a Civil War when Trump takes the right to vote away from Blacks and Women.

when Trump takes the right to vote away from Blacks and Women.

Why should that happen when in 2024, Trump's voting numbers increased in 2024 over both 2020 and 2016 by black and women voters?

Woke is past tense and dead

Suppose homework required a student to wear one of those virtual reality helmets? Limiting outside sight and sound.

If the student cannot access their personal phone, they cannot use their personal AI, and certain capabilities on the headset could lock during certain assignments.

Removing the headset would be recorded as a fail of the assignment. HA!

Course, students could still learn braille or touch based Morse Code.

I wonder if one could elect an AI to any position of government?

Could be more 'representative of the voters, than some humans.

It might have a chance if you can call Trump’s intelligence artificial.

I need to cut my finger nails.

Are you hoping to sharpen your skills?

(Why carry ridiculous stories with a lack of evidence)

I don't know of other countries, but my opinion of the USA.

I'd suppose the situation has been better and worse. Depending on time and location throughout history.

Depending on technology, laws, society values, Goals.

I vaguely recall reading of the recent TV era, of there being a lot of control on the networks, censorship of sex and curse words for example, or even 'suggestive of such scenes.

Films as well, used to have more censorship and oversight, I 'think.

. . . I don't 'think it was 'cheap to produce the news. Though even without a ton of money people could hand out or sell pamphlets or pool their money for an ideological paper.

. . . I've heard of Communist pamphlets and newspapers in history, I don't remember Communist Radio or TV, until they managed to take over a country.

Not that Communist Radio or TV did not exist before they took over a country.

In America, I think TV News at least, worked a lot more hand in hand with the American government, until maybe Vietnam, where there was a break between the two?

I'd have to read up on it.

I think that was also around the time of Civil Rights.

As I think about Civil Unrest, now I'm just speculating, I'm sure News and Government had disagreements before Vietnam, but during and after Vietnam is also the Hippie Era.

Audience change.

The two political parties also used to be more in step with one another, Tip O'Neill I've read about before.

Polarization of politics, Politicians don't work together to control the news,

They use the news as weapons against each other.

Not that they 'didn't fight before, but situation became worse maybe.

Every time a standard falls, other standards fall with them, sometimes.

And then we have the internet,

'Every User 'Is the 'News.

Competition, maybe it could have gone two ways, higher standards, or lower standards.

Lot of 'News Companies, I wouldn't even 'call News Companies, they're talk shows.

But concepts bleed into one another.

But I think the News wants to be heard first, not heard as most correct.

Not to say that there are 'no standards, or 'no good news companies.

But standards over time have fallen, and market is bigger. I think.

The sound of a car turn signal always makes me sad. I have no idea why.

I would suggest that quite a few dairy cows are black and white.

Not sure if this constitutes a "wide majority".

Is a wide majority the opposite of a narrow majority?

Or just an obese majority?

Though generally speaking milk is whitish and chocolate comes from dark continents.

And chocolate milk comes from bottles.

I really want to make myself a grilled cheese sandwich. The problem is that I'd have to buy a whole loaf of bread and a whole stack of cheese. But I don't want to commit to a whole loaf of bread and a whole stack of cheese just so I can have one or two grilled cheese sandwiches. I hate to waste food, so I know if I got the loaf of bread and the cheese, I'd feel obligated to eat it all. I'd end up eating grilled cheese sandwiches after I didn't want them anymore. This wouldn't be a problem if I didn't live alone. I'm sure other people might like to have them. First World problem can really eat my lunch sometimes, which sucks because I make good lunches.

Can someone explain Fiji water to me? How can water be "luxurious"

Also, what is it with American restroom stalls? Is it really that hard to fit the door to the frame because I really don't like being watched whilst I deficate.

Also why do American toilets have so much water?

Why not buy a sandwich and toast it.

Though cheese will keep for ages in a refrigerator...Ignore sell by dates and just remove any mouldy edges.

And bread can be frozen and used two slices at a time.

Though most mass produced sliced bread is packed with preservatives and will also keep well beyond its sell by date.

In fact, stale bread makes better toast.

You make a good point about freezing bread.

People say bread should be eaten fresh.

eVERYTHING THAT COULD GO WRONG DID GO WRONG AT WEORK TODAT, SCREW IT i AM NOT RETYPING IT

It happens. But if this day is worst, then logically next day will most likely be better.

Though cheese will keep for ages in a refrigerator...Ignore sell by dates and just remove any mouldy edges

Not really. If cheese is good enough, I will eat like 2 pounds of it in a day. If it is bad taste type of cheese, I wont eat it at all. Just put it outside.

You suck Monkey Dick and fuck fat strippers on the street! I also bone grandmothers that are half naked and half dead!
