Terrorism will always exist, unfortunately.

This is why Israeli spies are mostly women… It’s super easy for them to gain trust and get away with things. Just an “oops silly mistake” and a smile gets you out of trouble. :)

Sorry, I didn’t realize it’s not the same in English. :) It’s when you live together with someone but you are not married. You are both registered on the address and usually own the apartment or house together.

A few days ago. I talked about our kid with my Sambo and was telling her that some of his behavior can be annoying.

The kid walked by in the hallway, probably hearing some of that.

Felt very ashamed.

Kagi is making some money by providing value that Google can’t. I’m not sure if it would be enough for mozilla, but Kagi is making a profit now.

Sadly, both of these companies still depend on Google.

Because people today don’t question what they are being told. Is it a good idea to ban words? I don’t think so.

Think about this for a second. What if I am offended by the word “trumpet” because it reminds me of Trump? Shall we ban that word as well?

You guys who are into banning words don’t seem to realize that there used it be book burnings by the Germans, because they felt what the books said was against their own beliefs. I rather not go down that route because someone is feeling sad about a word.

If you ban retard, they will come up with another word. Don’t you realize that?

It means you are not afraid. Because most people are really worried about someone telling them that they are being racist, insulting, or whatever they come up with. The definition of being these things is up to the person, not you. So you are a racist if you are being called a racist by someone, appearently. :)

Maybe you can tell that im mostly laughing at the politically correct movement of today… :)

To me, it’s no different from idiot and moron. I’ve been watching how the politically correct movement have been making people afraid to use retard. I’m sure they are coming for the words idiot and moron also at some point, and they are going to argue that there is no need to ever use words like that.

I mean, Kagi is just the best. I remember trying it like a year ago and I just forgot to switch back to anything else. It’s that good.

That’s right, Virtuous American Sun Energy before Dirty Commy solar beams. :p

Sure. It’s very welcome. I guess the west will find it hard to say that solar cells are spying on us but we will see :)

It’s true today that you can easily drive your entire home on solar power, but only if you live in a sunny country. If I was, I would install them immediately. They will pay back in like 5 years and after that, energy costs are zero.

I look forward to them becoming smaller and more efficient. In the future, we may be able to have glass that is made of solar panels, which means entire skyscraper buildings can charge their power continuously from the sun.

Yeah I know, I’m not American myself. It’s absolutely possible to have a balance, but it requires companies to not be so rich and above the law that they can control the laws.

It’s just really boring I guess. As a kid I didn’t realize how pointless it all is. Go to work, make money to pay bills, be tired after work and watch TV…

Thank god for working from home, it gives some relief from the process.

But yeah, it’s the same in communist countries I guess… Just without all the stuff we can buy.

It’s all about distraction. All of us seek entertainment because our lives are usually quite dull. So the media feeds us things to have opinions about. Politicians, big tech psychos, gender issues…

It’s all pointless and keeps us from actually making any real difference. People here on Lemmy fight over which words to use, gender issues, or god forbid, someone admits they are not vaccinated…! Wow. Nuclear bomb right away.

None of this matters at all, it’s just entertainment… Nobody changes their minds from getting downvoted either. Sometimes it feels like keyboard warriors here think they are fighting some kind of fight. But nobody changes their mind guys, even if you downvote them.

So it’s actually pure entertainment and distraction from what matters… :) We don’t have to be so serious.

Maybe because they have no desire to let you teach them things they have no interest in?

It sounds like you expect them to hang around and watch you do things you like… Of course they walk away if it’s not interesting to them.

So yeah, you need to find other friends somewhere, just like you say. It’s difficult.

I think I blocked some porn instance but otherwise nothing.

I’m not the kind of guy who must block something I don’t agree with.

But what you are doing is also speculation. You have a firm belief that aliens don’t visit because it’s too far to travel. Because you speculate that they would use combustion engines and run out of gas, or it would take too long because they have to travel in a line (not using wormholes and whatnot).

I think some people are just more open to looking past those limitations that we have. Just because humans have those limitations does not mean others do.

Our civilization don’t have space exploration as a profession. You and I can’t even leave the planet. We have astronomers looking at things and we have space agencies that tell us what they see. And that’s it.

Us speaking about what other species can do is a bit silly. We really have no idea.

It’s super likely that others have found a way to extract energy from space itself. Humans are still focused on fighting eachother. It’s primitive here.

I think it’s the other way around - people who claim it’s impossible because of “long distances” have problems imagining someone traveling using wormholes or other technologies humans have no clue about.

Usually the response to this is “yeah but why would they visit us, we don’t matter”.

Ever looked at an animal because it’s beautiful or fascinating? Why do you go to the zoo or the park? Why do anything except stay at home since you know what it’s like already?

Humans would absolutely travel to other star systems if we had the technology. Why wouldn’t they?
