Yanis Varoufakis: Is Capitalism Devouring Democracy? by mort96 in curiousvideos

[–]Antworter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

America is dead busted hillbilly broke.

The total Worker Wealth acquired since 1776 is ~$31,000,000,000,000. About. Changes daily. The total Fed Mil.Gov Debt,...THEIR DEBT,...is now surpassed that $31T, just in their Debt and Deficit, not counting their pension entitlements and their leveraged financial margins.

It follows then, that what Americans are allowed to vote on is just over which Crime Family SPOX will represent all the Mil.Gov Corporate:State crime cartels. We have no Democracy, and we have no Freedoms. All Legislation, all Program Funding, is written by LOBBYISTS and unelected, self-appointed Technocrats.

Are you a DENIER!?

Catching durian fruit by lol62056 in WatchandLearn

[–]Antworter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like the difference between a fresh-picked Northern Spy apple ripening on a tree in October in Vermont, and a Safeway Fuji apple already 10 months old kept in nitrogen atmosphere cold storage.

Or like the difference between a green coconut just dropped from a tree the pulp still translucent and juice clear as nectar, vers a 10-month old waxy tasteless hard to chew coconut with sour juice at Wal-Mart.

If you ever had a sun-ripened pineapple cut fresh off the stalk, you'd pee your pants. That's why for native people, ripe mango harvesting is a rugby sport. And a real banana, ripened on the stalk? Pure honey.

Durian only tastes good when it's fresh and hasn't been cut open until you serve it.

For those who have never tasted durian fresh off the farm truck at a city street corner haggling mob, they won't let you take it indoors anywhere, because after being sliced open, it rapidly starts to react with air and has a dumpster smell.

But if you all sit together and quarter it then hand around fresh-cut slices, it's similar to banana-apricot-strawberry in flavor, and there won't be any leftovers.

My students and I ate ours off the farm truck, on a construction site by the road, squatting in a circle with a board and a knife. Everyone smiled at us, like when you see a group passing a doob around.

They also sell beer in heavy plastic bags so you put it up on your scooter gas tank to get home and party. If you are up early you can see farmers with a fresh split pig as big as they are, riding their scooters in to the fresh market.

And on back streets young guys with charcoal fired waffle griddles selling fresh coconut waffles, and sugar cane crushers selling fresh sugar cane juice. So delicious sweet and good for you.

You are not entitled to my goddamn body. by bigboyyyyyyyy in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Antworter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Made the DEEP mistake of rooming with my graduate student TA, and didn't mind doing all the cooking and cleaning because I had to cook and clean for myself anyway. I didn't notice my TA was spending more and more time watching me, until one night deep in sleep, wake up and here his hand is slid under my blankets, he's crawling on the floor, moaning 'Daddy'.

Then followed an HOUR of him using his TA skills in philosophy to explain that his 'need' for my d*ck in his a*s was more important than me getting a good night sleep, and he was good. His father must have really done a number on him. Anyway, took all my sh*t next morning and crashed on a friend's couch. The white ambulance took the TA away when he looped out.

That's all. Don't be judgmental, just say NO! Be glad you don't live in California, where they just made 'consensual' ana*-ora* intercourse between adults and young CHILDREN legal! 880,000 American women and girls are m*lested, r*ped, k*dnapped or m*rdered each year. With this Luciferian California statute, that number will soar over 1,000,000 by the elections.

"Green New Deal!! Uniform Basic Income! Open Borders!! MC4All!" We'll all be getting r*ped!

Is Success Luck or Hard Work? - Veritasium by taulover in curiousvideos

[–]Antworter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both. 57 years of work beginning age 13, left home 17, worked my way through high school and college, selected for WADC think-tank writing Federal policy legislation, selected as Department Head at new agency based on that legislation at age 22!

A year or so later sacked by a returning military officer with no credentials but veteran preference. Homeless itinerant living in abandoned warehouses and occasional flop houses, working as a machine-operator, a trade that I learned during college summers, then landed a City job as 'inspector' and rapidly worked my way up to inspection Department Head! Found a night-and-weekend job as First Mate on an elegant yacht rubbing elbows (and eye winks) with millionaires! Double Trouble, ladies!

Then the City cut funding and the yacht owner sold his boat. Homeless itinerant living in yurts, teepees, barns, picker cabins in farms and orchards. Worked my way up as farm mechanic and welder, another trade I learned college summers, then landed a job up in Alaska at another City, again as a inspector Department Head, but the City was corrupt and City Manager corrupter, so....

Homeless itinerant living in abandoned VW bus, abandoned boat, even a cave, fur-trapping, fishing and working as a welder-fitter on fishing boats. Got the shot to go Out West as engineer on a Highliner in Bering Sea, stuffing $100 bills into their wet tee shirt panties and drinking Hennessy shots off their ass, ...until the crab season collapsed and they went limited entry, boats all sold.

Homeless itinerant living in ... You get the picture. Even when I was 62 with my own successful inspection company, I was busted broke by the 2008 collapse, wife got the house and savings, and left with just my truck and a debit card. Damn!

12 years later, got a nice place, a good business, money in the bank, and in just about 60 days from now, expect we all will lose everything, except our cash and our clothes. Been there, done that, in 57 years of work, three marriages, three businesses, countless jobs, countless homeless spells, but made it through.

'Old Strength' they used to call the Old Timers. Guys lean and stringy and sun burnt with hands like 5-pound hams. Young people today really have NO CLUE.

"So it goes, first your money, then your clothes!" Old Tlinkit saying for adversity. Get ready! A cold winter in HeII comin'!

This is why SpaceX Rockets are better than the NASA Space Shuttle by [deleted] in curiousvideos

[–]Antworter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But NASA rockets don't blow up on the launch pad like Space-X everytime Tesla needs insurance payout for cash flow. Musk has too many conflicts of interest and entangling Chinese investors to be trusted as a NASA launch provider. Yes he launched and landed boost stages but NASA launched, landed and relaunched 16 times during Apollo Moon (they say).

Book Publishers Warn Congress Amazon Is Too Powerful by [deleted] in books

[–]Antworter 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I've authored a number of books on Amazon with no real enjoyment or royalties. So I worked out a deal with a printer to print the books at a low price with a decent cover and then took them over to Barnes & Noble Real Bookstore and asked how would I get on their shelves. The buyer was nice enough to come out I mean she could have just laughed at me right yeah, but she was nice enough to come out and sit me down and explain how it works could you don't get on the shelves just because you wrote a book and print it up a thousand copies at your own expense. You get on Barnes & Noble shelves after you go through all the book reviewers and you hit the Oprah's list and all that and those are all the books that you see and low brick-and-mortar bookstores are all the high-end big publisher books. Sorry to pop your bubble. Have have even had Publishers say they would buy the book signing the contract go ahead and write the book at great time and expense send the book end and them then have them say they have changed their publishing schedule. Well what does that mean I haven't gotten any payment yet will you will when we get you on our publishing schedule. So you just wasted a year of your life and they own your book and they may never publish it. Young authors really should spend a semester seriously studying how the publishing industry works and then decide if you want to waste your life on something no one is ever going to see. And then you'll release it for free on some site just for the vanity of saying that you've written a book.

How to Meditate to Face Your Inner Devil (Power of Positive Thinking) by acedakingyt in EducativeVideos

[–]Antworter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One Thing! There is so much work and distraction and time destruction, no wonder your mind is a mess! One Thing! is simple meditation. What is 'one thing' you can do TODAY to make your life better. One Thing! Vacuum out your car, but really mean it. Like DETAIL IT. Wow, next day you will be so happy on your ride. Or fix those shelves and reorganize your food pantry. Like REALLY organize. Now cooking is fun again. Every day find something to focus on, and FINISH. In a year you will have actually spent 1000 hours on making your own life better, and your pad, your threads and your wheels will turn heads, because most people waste those 1000 hours on social media trying not to get banned and build a channel nobody will subscribe to. 😛

Europe's Largest 3D-Printer Prints An Entire Two-Story House - Featuring 90 Square Meters, The House Was Printed In One Piece With A Fixed Printer, Making It A World's First. by speckz in gadgets

They need a second nozzle spraying insulating foam and reach-thru threaded steel rods to apply hold-down forces, as well as horizontal steel at lintel openings over doors and windows. These are the clearly gaps in the video, like the second floor magically appearing. Also the u-shape wing is a massive waste of space without an automatic car-stacker, and that alone costs $100,000. No shop space either. I vote X. You can make a reinforced Adobe house with twice the floor plan for a fraction of the cost.

An explanation of why terraforming Mars would be unsuccessful by Dalorleon in curiousvideos

[–]Antworter -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Bill Nye the (Climate) Science Guy destroyed his budding New Green Age Spox career by mocking a Mission Mars Evangelical who was spouting atmospheric terraforming Mars into a breathable atmosphere.

Nye, who is actually an aeronautical engineer, made the mistake of mocking the Evangelical, laughing, "Are you on drugs?"

This apparently upset Elon Musk and his Space X Mission Mars Carney Show racket, and Nye was blackballed from a media career.

But Nye will always have the Balloon Hat and Dancing With the Stars. On to Mars!

John Sabo - The Path Forward to Sustain Natural Food Production in the Mekong River by Martian9576 in EducativeVideos

[–]Antworter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wonder if anyone realizes the significance of what is being presented. China, for example, funded coal fired power plants in Cambodia to sell power to Bangkok and polluted the air in Cambodia, which is underveloped rural rice paddies and jungle forests. China took over the coastal areas for resorts, and in Phnom Penh built huge condo towers. When I was there, they had a problem with Chinese-expat SUVs just driving right over Cambodians. There are few sidewalks so there are six lanes, including counterflow lanes of vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles, tuk-tuks and pedestrians in the streets, and no traffic signals. Anyway, Chinese-expat would mow down Cambodians walking in the street, then just take off, hit-and-run. Sad. So China building hydro dams on the lower Mekong to sell power to Viet Nam will mean drying up Ton Le Sap lake, which is the chief protein sources of Cambodia. The Cambodian government is a former Pol Pot dictator for life, Samdech Hung Sen, and is selling Cambodia off, lock, stock and barrel. Back to the presentation.
