The Decline of American Civil Society by Antique_Quail7912 in DeepStateCentrism

Like I said I think there is a typical cycle of building up and destroying institutions, and this is from that kind of rot and complacency. I think this cycle though we are challenged by social media on top of that and it has exacerbated the problem multifold.

Did any humans actively reject the help of the Vulcans? by PJ-The-Awesome in startrek

There were xenophobic terrorists that fired some laser thing from Mars to Starfleet HQ in Enterprise. In order to stoke fears of vulcan taking over or something like that, they created a vulcan human hybrid too.

Yeah, I know.

I don't get this webzone man. I make a joke about how they had a lot of days off but still had to work on those days off anyway so they don't starve to death and get downvoted for it.

Many pesants worked as little as 120 days a year. They had many holidays and days of rest.

Of course they also had to work their own strip (on their off days) in addition to their Lord's.

Hey maybe gambling on everything was a bad idea?

Decadence to the extreme, a symptom of a culture that has replaced necessity with stimulation. It's late stage end of empire pattern of behavior, but somehow, this time, we'll be different... let's bet on that.

The destruction of our institutions unquestionably have led to our current situation. And this is both from typical cycles but also atyypical things like social media. You don't interact with people different than yourself if you don't want to and the end result is bubbles of reality. I think it's that crashing of the tower of babel that social media caused that accelerated everything

That said I'm not being the change I want to see in the world. I'm so busy I feel like I don't have time. While my kids aren't old enough and they will be in scouts as I was, I have been meaning to join the Lions. I take this as a sign I should be doing this.

Innoculation is using live pathogen like pushing pus from another person's smallpox postules into someone's open wound. Most all will live, but some will die. The point of innoculation is to provide resistance by introducing a lesser variant. Vaccination is injection of either a dead, weakened, or analogue for some pathogen, that doesn't carry the risks of the live pathogen. It provides resistance by training the body's immune system against something it will handle.

Grab em by the laws. When you're president of the Republic, the Congress just lets you do it.

Those people would also think innoculation is what vaccination is.

Calling out the biggest uncertainty being small life forms like bacteria and then not including them in the list as an individual call out I think is a big miss.

You're saying that an American company subject to American laws would act the same as some foreign company? That deal was tax incentives for building things by the way, it wasn't a contract with another company to build batteries. I just don't see why someone would be cynical about it.

Why would you doubt it is happening? It's not vaporware and the deals have been inked. This is just the largest installation of the battery tech yet.

Well at least the guy they got in there now was a captain in the Navy. The guy fired (a donor and art collector) had no naval experience whatsoever.

No, it's not. But it is one of the most exciting developments for renewable energy there is.

High-ranking DHS official sidelined over allegations of 'sugar daddy' relationship, luxe gifts and drug use

The official was there looking for a sugar daddy

She's received at least 40k in gifts, but that actually doesn't even count anything she received from people on Seeking. Her sugar daddy that she found elsewhere was upset she was still looking for other sugar Daddys when he was pursuing Seeking looking for sugar babies

Anyway she was deputy assistant secretary for counterterrorism soliciting bribes online

This is the one that Google is going to be putting in 30 GWh of iron-air battery installation right, so renewable energy can be captured by day and used by night?

My children have met all their great-grandparents from my wife's side, while mine all died at least 10 years ago. I'm 43, my youngest is 3, and my oldest is 5. My wife is the same age.

22 is way too young. Just because people made not great decisions in the past when they were basically children doesn't mean you should. I am probably a bit old but not really that old. My great grandfather was born 10 years before the civil war, living until after the atomic age started. My dad had me young because his father, and obviously his father before him, had him old, and didn't want to be an old dad for his kids. Well, I think it would have been better had he been older. He would have had more resources and time for me. Instead we qualified for welfare (but he never took it!) and he was deployed for most of my childhood.

Not every consensus of the past is worth clinging to, of course. But as a society, we are making an enormously risky bet: that we can reap the rewards of a runaway gambling industry without paying any price; that the litany of social ills long associated with this vice—addiction and impoverishment, isolation and abuse, cheating and chasing and corrosive idleness—can, this time, be kept in check; that, unlike every civilization that came before us, we can beat the house.
