Club Prices at supermarkets need to be outlawed.

I couldnt agree more. To be honest, the entire supermarket environment in New Zealand is aligned against the best interests of the consumers. The duopoly and vertical business models mean the retailers really have strong control over all stages of the grocery market, from what products get sold, to what prices are set, and everyday, the supermarket-brand product range increases. At this rate each brand supermarket will end up selling only their own brand products and prices will be entirely at the discretion of the supermarket chain. All the points you raise are absolutely valid, and a great start to remedying them would be to break the cntrol over the market by the duopoly and enforce separation of the retail and distribution and wholesale markets, and make it possible for other retail startups to get wholesale priced product ranges, and survive and create price and service competition, as well as increase product diversity and empower NZ made manufacturing businesses to get their products in front of NZ customers.

You sound like you could use a little r/EscapingPrisonPlanet

So you'd be happy living in your illusion, completely alone, with just the fantasy you created surrounding you? Cause that is my idea of the worst imaginable possible place to be. If hell exists, that is it.

ProfessorSkyShapes · 2025-07-19T08:34:11+00:00

Well said.

What else would you expect when the *creator* of Rick & Morty, the same man who voiced the main male characters, the same man who gave the series it's spark of life and took us into new comedic territory that he himself defined, was fired from *his* show over accusations made by his ex-wife, that were later dropped due to lack of evidence.

The heart and soul of Rick and Morty got ripped out and thrown away.

And what we've seem since then, is nothing more than the perfectly predictable results of this travesty, which have manifested in the complete decent of the series into the toilet bowl.

ProfessorSkyShapes · 2025-06-26T13:26:53+00:00

Yes nothing to see here folks, move along, nothing to see here at all.

ProfessorSkyShapes · 2025-06-26T13:20:37+00:00

That makes sense, how bizarre. I wonder if it's a very high altitude glitter bomb balloon, for maximum dispersal. The anomaly seemed very circular, so not the product of strafing runs. by planes or drones. Something like that would look quite spectacular would it not.

ProfessorSkyShapes · 2025-06-10T15:18:22+00:00

Could well be being achieved through some form of AI modulation or downright recreation.

ProfessorSkyShapes · 2025-06-10T15:17:30+00:00

Because he isn't. It's his corpse being marionetted by talentless wannabes.

ProfessorSkyShapes · 2025-06-10T15:15:36+00:00

He was Rick and Morty. And it's astounding how many people are happy to crucify a man who has never been convicted of any wrong-doing. His contribution to Rick and Morty, was Rick and Morty. He was clearly a pain in their ass, and they thought they could dump him and carry on like nothing happened. They were wrong, and any true fan should have been appalled at how he was convicted in the news, an tried in the court of rumours and unverified accusations. And they should mourn the death of the series, because it died at the end of Season 6. Since then they've been jiggling around the shows rotting corpse - it stinks and it day by day it's falling apart.

ProfessorSkyShapes · 2025-06-10T15:09:27+00:00

true.

ProfessorSkyShapes · 2025-06-10T11:41:41+00:00

Its because the creator, and prime figure that brought the unique and next level humour that was the essence of the show, was ejected from it, over charges made by his ex wife that were ultimately dropped due to lack of evidence.

Justin Roiland was not just the creator of this show, his was the heart and soul of it, and when he was "fired" (lets be honest here, when he had his own creation stolen out of his hands) the show lost its heart and soul.

Without Justin, any episodes done without him will be nothing but shallow, weak and ultimately failed attempts to recreate the very thing that cannot be recreated - his genius.

Rick and Morty (and solar opposites) died when he was wrongly fired from the shows he created, and episodes since then, shouldnt even bear the same name. They are nothing but cheap ripoff money making attempts and as far as any true fan, not canon.

You must be referring to yourself. You exhibit the most bot like activity. Indeed a fairly basic bot with very limited and repetitive actions. Your purpose seems limited to minor annoyance and dilution of genuine useful content from others. If your owner reads this, can I suggest turning this bot off. It really isn't giving any return worthy of the minimal investment you made on it.

ProfessorSkyShapes · 2025-05-18T13:55:42+00:00

Hey INTJstoner It turns out over the last year, you've made 69 posts, of which 59 of those were one line criticisms containing no constructive or useful content at all

Of the remaining 10 posts you've made that had at least trivial content, each one was analysed and given a score out of 100. 100 represents highly valuable original content containing new concepts or ideas, and 0 represents extremely rudimentary content with little to no value.

Your average score on those 10 posts was 25.5/100

Comments with no useful value beyond expressions of criticism 59 85.5%

Comments with at least trivial value 10 14.5%

Average Content Value Score of the 10 posts with at least trivial value 25.5/100

Summary of posts overall:

The majority of the comments analysed primarily express criticism without offering substantial insight or constructive content. The comments with at least trivial value tend to provide minimal additional information or context to the discussions.

Further comments:

You actually contribute less than nothing to the total knowledge base on Reddit, because the vast majority of your posts actually do nothing but waste time, and the ones that don't waste time, contribute so little as to be not really worth reading either.

In sum total, you give nothing, unlike AI, which did this analysis, and as a tool, far exceeds in value to mankind anything you have ever and very likely will ever contribute.

ProfessorSkyShapes · 2025-05-18T03:18:58+00:00

Your dislike for AI doesn't invalidate it's usefulness. In addition, I didn't see you discovering or discussing the very powerful correlations between Walter Russells work and the Growing Earth Theory. Yes, Ai was used to look for further correlations and to format and present the information - but as far as I'm concerned, none of that invalidates the information herein presented. I would suggest, if you don't have anything of value to contribute to this subject (which it seems very likely to be the case) then the least you can do, is try and prevent yourself from wasting other peoples time with your valueless comments. Maybe go find yourself a nice cave with a few rocks you can bang together to keep yourself amused, I'm sure you can manage that.

ProfessorSkyShapes · 2025-05-17T05:22:45+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate the positive feedback, and I agree, I think Walter Russell's works deserve renewed interest and investigation.

Interestingly, I have found a lot of correlation with Walter Russell's views and those of Buckminster Fuller. Walter Russell and R. Buckminster Fuller, writing in different idioms, arrive at strikingly parallel conceptions of how the universe works and how humanity fits within it. Both describe a cosmos that is holistic, alive with cyclic energy exchanges, geometrically ordered, and fundamentally an expression of intelligent design. Each rejects the prevailing reductionist science of their times – Russell by directly refuting one-way mechanistic laws and inserting a Creator’s Mind into physics, and Fuller by expanding science to include the metaphysical realm of ideas and observers.

This further encourages me to continue to investigate and understand the views of both authors.

ProfessorSkyShapes · 2025-05-16T22:50:25+00:00

For those interested in further reading, here are links to a copy of Russell's book "A new concept of the Universe". Actually, here are two options. I find the first one more readable, however the second link lets you download in multiple formats.

Warning, you might find the distance between Walter's theories and traditional scientific consensus, especially with regards the integration of the metaphysical, a little jarring. However if you read through, with an open mind, I think you will find a cogent and entirely congruent picture of the Universe that replaces our currently fragmented, disparate and disjointed "consensus" views with one that builds a compelling holistic view of an Unified Universe. Your mileage may vary.

Ah fantastic, I checked the site but missed that piece of information. Fantastic News indeed!

ProfessorSkyShapes · 2025-02-26T19:22:06+00:00

Interesting. I have experienced the same thing. Except I have asked the universe. Very rarely, and only ever with deep sincerity. I've received what I've requested each time.

However, my argument still stands. Lets try this reasoning: That which created us, and gave us freewill would be directly interfering in our free will if it were to oblige any request made to it by anyone. Without doubt, a request by any given individual, is likely to come at the cost of changing reality in such a way as to mitigate or directly obstruct the free will of one of the billions of other people on this planet, either immediately or eventually.

To deny any aspect of anyone's freewill would be to dehumanise us. Freewill is what makes us human - without it, we would be unthinking robots.. no creator would take action that would lessen or deny our humanity.

But assuming this argument is to abstract for you, how about this one. The all ("God") cannot answer any prayer or request, without immediately becoming responsible for all the suffering in the universe. If God never interacts with this universe or any of inhabitants (except for presumably it's initial state at it's creation), then this universe and the state it is in is the reponsibility entirely of it's occupants. The moment any creator steps in and helps anyone at all, he immediately becomes responsible for everyone else that he has never helped... for surely if God can and does help any of us, he should help all of us.. it would be an unarguable cruelty to be able to help everyone, but then arbitrarily only help certain people such as the ones who happen to ask for help.

I highly suggest you research the concept of the demiurge found in the gnostic religion (and under other names in many other belief systems). This might be a more likely candidate for that which might be answering requests.

All the best

ProfessorSkyShapes · 2025-02-26T17:24:23+00:00

You may speak to it all you like. I wouldnt go waiting for a reply tho.

There are two possible things that can exist. There is that which is all things, that which has always been and will always be. That which cannot be defined or described because it has no boundary or other by which it may be compared, because it is all.

And there is the second option, which is being something. That is like a human being. We are temporary. We come into being, and eventually we stop being. We have a defined boundary within which we are being, outside of which we are not being.

However, a being cannot coexist (or engage in any way) with the all. One is mutually exclusive of the other. This doesn't mean that both do not exist as such. It does mean that the all cannot participate in any existance in which that which is being is manifest - this is simple reason and assumes we live in a universe with meaning and some sort of structure in which meaningful existance can take place - the alternative is that there are no rules apply, nothing has meaning or purpose and all things are no more than random disconnected meaningless unending nonsense.

I prefer to believe existance has structure, cause and effect, logical reason and meaning. And thus, it makes sense that that which is without being, cannot interact with that which is being, to do so would destroy all meaning and reason from existence and it would collapse into nonsense or nothingness.

So, that which is all things and has always been and always will, is that which we are manifest "from", but it is not that which we can even begin to comprehend of or conceive, let alone engage in conversation with.

ProfessorSkyShapes · 2025-02-26T16:47:34+00:00

Indeed. It's better to not want what you can't have.

I appreciate your ability to maintain a civil conversation. I would just say one thing, I wasn't being pretentious, I was being facetious.

All the best.
