… on side note, the old guy actually looks like a native elder I knew years ago from Six Nations in southern Ontario
Entire countries do the same with national debts
Reminds of the Ambiguous Gay Dual …
Meanwhile, they have an orange beanbag presidential hopeful spilling the beans to the whoever around the world and he gets millions of dollars of support, literal legal immunity from anything and 1/3 of the country want him to become their Cheeto leader in Mountain Dew.
Are we talking about today … or tomorrow? … by the way, what day is it today? … or tomorrow? … what are we talking about again?
That was fantastic and hilarious … From one meatbag to another, thanks for sharing
Or they are just so far advanced than us that there is no need for an agreement like that … it’s just automatically understood and they see our planet and ‘civilization’ no more than us looking at our lawn and seeing an ant hill with activity. Why interact with creatures that can only understand their immediate surroundings and could not possibly comprehend anything beyond their little world?
The ants themselves are not aware of all the activity, technology and beings living all around them and can only know about their ant hill and their little ‘civilization’. Even if the ants had some resources, what good is it for a larger more powerful organism or entity to reach down, dig out their nest and take away the tiny little food stores? or use the sand from their ant hill to … ? … to what? … fill a crack in their paving stones? The ants have nothing we need or want … or have even the level of quantity of resources we would desire. Highly advanced alien civilizations probably see us in the same way … why harvest a tiny planet when you could gather vast amounts of energy and resources from some other parts of the galaxy that are far more massive and energy sustaining.
We only see and understand a fraction of a fraction of the universe right now. We are like the blind ignorant little ants that can only understand their little ant hill. Beings, entities and technologies might be roaming around us already but we are so unaware and undeveloped that it will takes us centuries or millennia before we can even start to understand anything beyond our world.
I have a bad feeling that our galactic neighbours are short selling our planet right now
I try to do this in real life with just about any public service I encounter.
If someone does something good, nice or even remotely within their job description … especially with young people … I’ll take a moment and fill out a survey, receipt feedback or just talk to a manager to tell them what a great job they did. I find this even more important for the young man or woman with their first job … or an immigrant or person of colour who’s trying to fit into the community for the first time.
I’ve worked in storefronts, grocery stores, restaurants, waiting tables, cooking, cleaning, janitorial and in hotels, schools and hospitals … and I know that with the public, the only time you will ever hear anything from anyone is when things go wrong. Very few people ever take the time to say thanks for the good job or leave a comment or write something positive.
But they’ll spend hours or even days organizing themselves to lodge a complaint or consider hiring lawyers to get back at a company or employee for not giving them more pickles for their hamburger.
2AM … I guess I should go to bed earlier today … tonight? … this morning? … tomorrow? … today? … in the future?
As an indigenous person who grew up without running water or modern plumbing for the first ten years of my life in Canada … I always appreciated this quote …
Will Durant Quote: “From barbarism to civilization requires a century; from civilization to barbarism needs but a day.”
Personality, presence and confidence
Natural self confidence, but NOT an arrogant selfish confidence.
Some people naturally have confidence and presence and some people need to build it as a skill.
I know guys and gals with little to no knowledge or skill build up careers because they just knew how to talk and connect to people.
I also know guys and gals with years of education and degrees but have little to no way of politely or easily getting along with people.
We live in Ferenginar … not Vulcan
A safer solution would be to just purposely target your arrival to the other side in empty space. While also travelling in a fully functional spaceship. Just make sure your little ship arrives within a set distance to Earth otherwise you will have to figure out how to travel millions of kilometers to get to where you’re going. If technology gets to the point of developing safe time travelling, I’ll assume that the same level of technology should be able to develop a space ship.
Yes it is for most words.
Goose is niska … the plural is niskuk
Beaver is amisk… the plural is amiskuk
It’s not a hard rule but it applies to many things, objects and animals.
Oh, … good … since one of the commandments say you should not kill … then we can get rid of everyone’s guns then.
We should be in planetary emergency mode right now. Even if we did stop the fossil fuel industry right now completely, we would still feel the effects for a few more decades or a century or two.
Instead, we keep going worried that we might disrupt the financial markets instead.
The stock market will still be functioning in a hundred years … but we’ll be fighting for scraps of land and water by then.
If a group of people say or do something intentionally hurtful, justify it with their own logic and keeping doing it, even when you tell them to stop or show them that you’re upset, that’s …
POLITICAL CONSERVATISM
If an entire population accepts one group of people saying or doing intentionally hurtful things to another group of people on a societal basis based on religious, cultural and historical precedents and beliefs, that’s …
COMPLETELY NORMAL
A friend of mine just sent me a Facebook link that says that decomposed candidate #2 was caught taking bribes from corporations … and that they’re a communist.
