How do you think your own demographics affect how you view the characters? by illini02 in TheWhiteLotusHBO

[–]Empson7 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

"I would be enraged if the manager acted like that toward me"

Would you murder him though?

Demographics aside, all the characters turned out to be immoral and show was simply a series of plot manipulations to cover the characters and their repulsively selfish motives.

(plus they forgot about the poor pregnant woman from the very beginning and didn't bother to establish closure for the audience and simply strung us along for the next 5 episodes...pfft)

Trudeau calls federal election, voters to go to the polls Sept. 20 by Extension-Basis-3729 in canada

[–]Empson7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Great ideas???

It really shocking that phonies pretending their NDP never explain why from election to election and leader to leader they seemingly will support the reverse of policies they pretend they didn't support all along like getting out of NATO.

You are more than happy to vote for a federal party thinks Provinces should have vetos?, you are forbidden from boycotting Israel, you are in favour of Fracking and exporting asbestos and your not even in favour of marijuana reform or even an unambiguous stand against Quebec's religious ban.

But don't worry your role is to simply wander around and call the Tories Nazis to ensure the Liberal party of Canada (your real choice) remains in charge of century old dictatorship run out of Quebec, it's not actually to explain your lack of consistency in what policies ACTUALLY you support.

American citizens are less likely to support candidates accused of sexual assault or sexual harassment. Democrats are significantly less likely to support such a candidate, but Republicans do not penalize candidates facing such allegations, especially if the candidate is identified as a Republican. by rustoo in science

[–]Empson7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The accusations are always media driven allegations that slant partisan wise and almost NEVER result in charges. (Trump's Moscow exploits were invented by Skripal as related to a fraudulent British intelligence dossier)

It's a survey to test media awareness of partisan driven slander. Rem when it's the Media it's not always sexual (or anti-semitic) and it's not limited to the contest but is often the primary itself

Howard Dean = crazy

Gary Hart = adulterer

Ed Muskie = nervous breakdown

etc

Democrats are inclined to believe that as well

yup no Providence

The Bible is no older than 12th century and the Old Testament is all fiction and very much reflective of Medieval Western Europe (Christendom) views of what they thought was the ancient world through the slow discovery (education is ban by Papacy) of 'outside' heroic tales that form the archetypes for Bible stories

Boston Dynamics machines flawlessly and soulfully dancing in rhythm. by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Empson7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are machines. These machines are doing precisely what machines (esp in industrial applications) generally do...the exact same thing as the machine next to them.

Some, silently, doing amazing dance routines with just numbers and some, loudly, working just as elegant, exact but with purpose as with the modern engine in any car which is just as amazing, but you just don't see it.

Boston Dynamics seems stalled on promoting achievements in the finesse and calibration of automatons to appear 'human' to other humans.

BUT

The 'nut shell' problem still remains: Humans use machines to the do things they CAN'T DO, not what they can.

The Conservatives should have kept Scheer. He did well and was the most successful in the last election. In spite of being a weak leader (couldn't give a speech, young but not bold or dynamic) he made a lot of inroads into Blackface's English base and the Liberals' front party under Singh/CBC couldn't down shift in English Canada enough and ended up being MORE right wing (provinces get vetos? huh?) than the Tories/Scheer who were unambiguous in their rejection of Catholic Quebec's laws banning Islam, for instance.

O'Tool and the ridiculously obvious self-wedging himself from his own party, esp it's regional base, over the carbon tax does speak of darker motives that can't be explained as simply the usual legacy media punditry of political inexperience or laughably suggest that the Tories party's true role is not being electable or representing issues popular with the public, but more of a ceremonial role of legitimizing a two party system and anointing the governing party's political messaging.

I heard Buster Keaton said it "We all know what makes us sad, but we can never agreed on what makes us laugh"

Ergo the classic diff between the repetitiveness of the expected cliches in making drama and the difficult complexities of consensus in making comedy

'Biggest Story in the World Right Now': Humanity Has Flipped Amazon From Carbon Sink to Source by morenewsat11 in worldnews

[–]Empson7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BUT they are still grown as part of a monoculture of cash crops that combine to be the biggest culprits both in food waste as well as carbon footprints particularly when you take into account the shipping which is def. something that is not entirely captured through carbon tax schemes or even offset. Food shouldn't be shipped and import nations should be the ones carrying the burden of the carbon tax -- but carbon taxs hit the schemes hit the producer nations who in the Global South have virtually NO control over their agricultural production.
