thanks for the video!
on an unrelated note, if i had 1K dollars to prepare for the incoming situation, i would invest it to stock up on food durables, such as noodles. I would spend $900 on food and $100 on water.
Humans are basically machines that run on food instead of oil. As long as the engine keeps turning, things can get done.
They’re not unlike law enforcement, in that regard.
Unrelated (probably), but i just researched this and want to tell people:
I’m saying this because i have been wondering, in case states try to secede and trump sends all troops he commands to the states to stop them from doing so, what would be the likely outcome.
Sorry, it’s a bit off-topic here, but the US situation is on my mind a lot these days.
There’s more things that i like about the Lion Turtle. For example, it says to Aang:
“Since beginningless time, darkness thrives in the void, but always yields to purifying light.”
What does that mean? What is the purifying light that the Lion Turtle talks about? Is there, maybe, a psychological state which conquers the harmful behavior without exercising violence?
Maybe that message only makes sense to Aang, because he’s an air nomad and believes in these ways. Maybe the Lion Turtle would have said something different to a water bender, or to another person in general.
What would the Lion Turtle have said in that case?
I like the way that Aang took Ozai’s bending powers.
There are at least two good aspects about it:
Aang teaches the viewers that there are sometimes non-violent solutions to hard problems that appear at first glance as if violence was the only solution. And i think it’s worth it trying to find these non-violent solutions. Aang was telling himself that he needed to kill Ozai after he spoke to the previous avatars on the Lion Turtle’s back; he then just luckily encountered the Lion Turtle and found another way.
The other interesting aspect that i find about the Lion Turtle is that it teaches us that besides the bending of the four elements, Lion Turtles bent the energy inside humans, which i understand in the way that Lion Turtles drove human development forward through some process maybe similar to evolution(?), and that just opens up a very interesting potential for side-stories. What else did the Lion Turtles bend? What other tricks do they have?
Actually, stop telling people to “learn” linux. Linux is either supposed to be easily navigable without the Command Line, or it’s not the right thing for most people.
Either dumb it down, or don’t expect people to learn it.

I was in school when i realized that doing homework faster doesn’t mean you get to go home earlier. You just get assigned more homework.
We are indeed going to face massive, catastrophic changes […]
And they say “nothing ever changes” smh
I don’t know who that is, but that might actually check out. I have a bookshelf full of books that i looved as a teenager :D i just keep them for the memories of enjoying them:P
fair
i guess most western maps are arranged in such a way that the middle east is in the center and the atlantic is on the map completely because
the atlantic has probably been more important historically than the pacific, as europeans sailed over the atlantic, not the pacific.
the pacific ocean is a bigger body of water, so having it on the “back” side of the globe makes sense because this way, you have a more uninteresting back-side of the globe and a more interesting front-side.
I just want to respond to my own comment with some follow-up thoughts:
Israel is mostly backed by the US to “protect US interests in the area”, which i translate as: mostly oil.
Since the transition to renewable energy is happening at an exponential speed, i guess that the consumption of fossil fuels could be reduced by 2040 by 90%. That would make the US completely independent from oil from the middle east, and the US would no longer need Israel, which would weaken Israel’s grip in the region. That is why i think they would retreat, instead of attack.
Just my two cents.
there’s a low likelyhood.
The key question is what will happen to Israel in the future?
In my opinion, Israel cannot stay in the middle east for much longer. They have to move out.
Israel is so universally hated in the middle east, it’s difficult to put into words. (at least that’s what i got from other people’s messages). it’s difficult/impossible to conceive a long-term stability in the region with Israel in it. and israel knows this, of course.
The question is: what will israel do? Will it escalate the conflict to try to grasp to power through military dominance in the area? Or will it soften its grip and let go of control in the middle east?
To be fair to the Germans, I can understand how the Holocaust is integrated into them as a kind of “original sin”. What was done to the Jews under the Nazis was so unspeakable terrible, and German society as a whole has done an enormous job at ingraining in themselves that nothing of the sort should ever repeat itself.
The problem with Germany is that they learned the wrong lesson out of WW2.
Instead of learning “genocide is bad”, it’s “Jews are always on the right side of history”. And that’s why Germany is completely uncritically supporting Israel with everything that it does.
Their government is way worse than Israel’s.
So why bomb Iranian civilians?
Israel is not only at the very center of the world (look at maps: it’s very much the geographic center. That’s why we call it middle east.)
it’s also reckless and like a dying star, a supernova. it blows up without regards to casualties. it is a very dangerous situation that we’re in indeed.
I guess when they say, she bathed in milk, they mean, she bathed in cum?
philosophy is bullshit if you don’t take it seriously, at least.
What does “6th graders” mean? After 6 years of total education, i.e. at age 12; or 6 years of high school, at age 16?
I often wonder whether the type of “mutual respect” that modern movements teach is actually just a way to disable people from taking effective action, as everything is considered “too extreme” these days (at least for a normal person to do it).
people need to think than they have it better than people in the past did. it gives them motivation and a happy attitude, and as we all know, happy workers are more productive, so media lets them keep that attitude.
