J6. But if they do less than that it will be an outrage!

Wouldn't that also be the case with stories like George Floyd. Cops kill a lot of people every year. I'm not saying it shouldn't have been a story, but that was the motive in making that one story a story. So it obviously happens in both directions. Wouldn't it be worse if it could happen in one direction but any information in the other direction was stuffed under a rug? Then our sense of reality would be completely manipulated.

I wonder if it's always been this way there.

Actually not turning would be falling. You are constantly being turned upward.

Right. That is the size issue. I'm saying there is a substantial direction issue as well.

Wow. I can't believe my perspective of the world is that distorted. It makes me want to only look at it in 3D. If we've all mainly looked at Mercator projections our whole lives our sense of where everything is relative to everything else and what direction is completely off.

People complain about the proportional sizing of Mercator but the sense of direction it gives us is completely broken. I think the average person knows it's off and people think there is an error factor to consider that a really straight like might be a little squiggly. But nope. This made me realize the Mercator gives pretty much zero accurate sense of direction if real distance is involved.

It's called mass psychosis.

Stop buying stuff isabel with a lowercase i.

 

It's ok. Consumers will take up the slack on climate change. You'll just not be able to do anything ever or eat normal food. I know a lot of you say that if you don't eat meat it produces a lot less carbon.

But what if I did eat meat and google didn't spend the energy grid's entire power supply chasing dominance in a technology none of want that badly.

This is the classic example of rent seeking. Rent seeking is when resources are spent on a contest that doesn't actually produce anything for the public. And the total resources spent on the contest by all parties can exceed even the benefit to the victor. It's Mr. Beast but instead of people exhausting themselves it's corporations exhausting the planet.

Now do native americans.

IBM did. This is one reason why we need separation of business and government.

 

It also becomes a question if anyone can criticize Israel and remain in office. If the answer to that is no then all members of Congress know that appeasing Israel is more important to re-election than any policy that impacts the American people. If that is so that makes Israel their primary constituency and the American people lack any representation in Congress.

Proving the point that someone can remain in office after speaking against genocide is really important. If they can out the few people who spoke against genocide then we really don't have a Congress.
