@RickiTarr

I would totally do that if I hadn't gotten hoisted by a metaphorical landmine early on in the festivities.

For now, I'm just celebrating the fact that the holidays are over. Cheers to everyone who made it through another unpleasant holiday mostly intact 🥂

We're officially 365 days away from Christmas again! Let the healing commence ❤️‍🩹

One of the things that drives me crazy is the people who are constantly saying we need to go back to our roots, eat, sleep, and live like Amazon tribes or Neanderthals. If you do any research at all, this is just a ridiculous concept. Especially when you the are also encouraging people to reject modern medicine in favor of "natural" medicine. Now I understand that our current modern medical establishments are rife with issues, and I'm not denying or excusing that. But let's just address basics, life expectancy, only about 20% of Neanderthals made it past 40 years of age, and the average life expectancy for modern Amazonian tribes is 53 years. Being that I am now 42, I'd like to live a little longer than that, and the reason I can is MODERN MEDICINE, access to clean water, good and plentiful food, living indoors when it's too cold or hot, working jobs that aren't as physically demanding. Telling people that if they go back to some kind of traditional past lifestyle, that they will live a healthier happier lifestyle is a falsehood and a dangerous one. Get medical advice from a medical professional, who bases their research on science, not some person on YouTube who bases their ideas on things that seem true to them.

I'm sorry this was so ranty!

The entire Star Wars Franchise was purchased for 40 billion dollars less than Twitter. I think about that sometimes.

@RickiTarr And Disney ran it into the ground. Musk is the deranged owner driving his company into the ground, disney is the souless corporate entity doing the same by hiring talent challenged people.

What is it called when something makes you laugh, but also makes you want to cry a little?

@RickiTarr So you're saying that we can use LLM as a tool to help us reframe our narratives, to consider ourselves from opposing perspectives and uncover the questions that will reveal our deeper truths? That countless iterations of sacrifice and struggle have dragged the collective potential of our species from surviving the tar pits to scaling the very heavens and now we have the tools that will carry our wearied, broken souls over the line, to our brightest possible future?

The idea of owning land is so weird. At one point, someone just murdered enough people so that no one questioned them when they said it belonged to them, and we just kept on doing that, I guess.

@RickiTarr Nomadic hunter-gatherers were mostly communal. Land ownership (along with the ownership of "water rights") came along with agriculture.

@RickiTarr

"When I was three or four years old my father tried to explain the concept of America and nations in general.

And at one point he told me that the land in our country belonged to all of us.

This piqued my interest.

Recently we'd been moving about regularly and in some places I had my own room and in others I did not, so I innocently asked ‘Where is our land?.’

I will never forget the look of perplexed amazement and surprise on his face. In fact it is one of my earliest recollections.

And it was the first time he could not explain injustice to me.

And the first time I even knew what injustice was."

@RickiTarr
And the concept of land ownership is so damaging to society and to the world. It's bizarre that we've allowed it not only to be adopted at all, but to become pervasive.

If we've learned anything in the last few years, it's that you don't have to be smart to be rich, you just have to be willing to fuck people over.

@RickiTarr And in almost every case, while still being willing to fuck people over, you have to start with a large pile of cash. (Rags to riches stories are rare and usually involve an unusually strong drive to fuck people over).
