Lots of good links here ...
Lost in Space ... I watched that like in the 1960's, I was a kid, and liked it. Maybe it'll do well? I have Netflix, but hardly even watch it, also got a few hundred cable stations I hardly ever watch, but I did find a few good things on Netflix I liked. I dont buy it, I'm like on some kind of familia deal, my daughters and grandkids have it in their homes, so we have it on our tele too ... I have a Roku on the tele, to get stuff like YouTube and other stuff.
The gun thing ... great to see it is getting so much MSM coverage too ... I mean ... credit to these kids for starting this, I like when kids get involved. Of course, I'm pro- gun, had them since I was a kid, and even with stricter gun laws, I still will ... I'm sure I would, even if they were outlawed ... that's just me. I dont ever fantasize about running into buildings and wasting innocent people though, committing suicide, or whatever ... that's the discipline, some folks just dont have that. These who do these things, f*ck everything up for us that are responsible. Some seem like spoiled brats, that their panties get in a bind, over the least little thing, like a breakup with a girlfriend or whatever ... just drop her and find another girl, eh? ... geeeez
Snake colours were cool, although I never seen any that colourful in person, and I had quite a few.
Ray Kurzweil on universal income was a good piece. I think that many at the top realize this will have to come at some point, but they're all just in a rush right now, to make all the money they can (which I covered alot on my blog too), and of course, get as many of the lowest classes to die off, who are not contributing to their wealth/ profits (less people to feed, less to shell out). I mean like, they all know this, even these f'n politicians, they're just not saying anything about it ... they all have the future already mapped out.
How rich are the rich? ... pretty damn rich. It is also a culture of sort, they spend not to just live good, or try to make money because they need it, but they are alwayz trying to impress other wealthy folks, f*ck each other over and such, and they all in their circles have to keep an image and status. Pretty much another useless cult/ tribal mentality is all, that has become very popular today.
Hackable software in cars ... that not even half the concern. The shit they are putting in some of these cars today, record every movement you have, even your eyes, your speed, and a whole list ... like everything else, to sell info and to monitor, etc ... long story though. Whatever they make though, can also be unmade, eh?
Trump supporter dating service ... wow, how exciting! {:-)
Blessing your guns in church ... wow, how cool ... but no Thanx, I bless my own, I'm fiscally conservative {:-) This is nothing but another church imposed racket, to get more sheep, to make a buck off them. The real question would be "What Would Jesus Do?" ... take it from me ... Jesus would go into these christian wealth temples and shove his AR-15 up their bloody asses.
Dalek? I had to look that up ... I had no idea what it was ... I call that a torch basically.
Amazon job tracking devices ... yes, I have followed that in detail myself, and talked about this with several folks. People been sharing with me, some of the things that are going on in workplaces as well around town here. They'll pitch it as maximizing efficiency or whatever ... like, whatever. I was talking to this lady on the phone (a business who calls you, I'm sure you heard it too, as most people). She said something like "This call is being recorded for quality assurance purposes, etc" ... I told her, "Great, since my call is recording for quality assurance purposes too" ... she laughed, when I told her that {:-) All this shit is to cover their ass only, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh {:-)
Nate Green on CEO pay ... IT'S THE TRUTH. Funny thing, is when these CEO's get busted, or get drilled on Capitalism Hill (Capitol Hill) or whatever ... say like Tony Hayward, they all of the sudden say, they didnt see nothing, didnt know nothing, dont have communications with their staff, they dont recall, etc, etc. Makes you wonder ... why do they pay a MF, who dont do shit, a hundred or $200 million a year. Great example on just how full of shit our society is. Give me 10 minutes with one of these clowns face to face in a drilling session, let me question them, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh {:-)
Capitalism in the mail ... yeah man ... damn, my box is like stuffed with shit too. Good thing they have a trash can by our mailboxes, when they didnt, and just set up the mail box area ... people just threw most of the shit on the ground {:-)
Utah fossil read as far as giving up land ... that's it guy ... they dont give a shit about nothing ... neoliberal capitalism is on steroids right now, they will drill, mine, frack or whatever, to get everything they can make a buck off of.
I was voting saturday morning, it was deserted at the poll in my neighbourhood, like zilch! Hopefully it was due to the weather ... it was heavy thunderstorms, windy and cold, but it been raining here for like 9 dayz in a row until sunday. They also have mail in, but I like going in person instead. I may have been soaked and lonely in there, but at least I got out my vote! This was the primaries (not sure how y'all do it there) ... so you walk in, they stamp your card, either democrat or republican, as to which primary you want to vote (I vote democrat). Then there is a whole list of positions and races, for all kinds of offices, from the governor on down, and several amendment proposals, etc. ... I'm outta here ....
Ranch: The students' energy is admirable and inspiring. I hope they'll keep it up. Students led a social upheaval in the 1960s. Maybe they'll do so again.
I'd be very reluctant to buy a new car nowadays, unless I could be very sure what kind of software was in it. I don't want to be tracked. Luckily my existing car, though almost 20 years old, is in good condition.
I dunno what that church is doing. "Blessed be this semi-automatic, and blessed be the ammo with which it blasteth thine enemies to smithereens in the name of Jesus's infinite mercy, amen." Oh, well, nothing about religion makes much sense to me.
I guess you were never into Dr. Who.....
I've worked at companies where the CEO or CFO position was vacant for months while they looked for the perfect candidate, with no visible effect on the operation of the company. If the receptionist quits, they get a temp in right away because that job actually does things.
Thanks for linking to RN USA Infidel. Much appreciated.
The original Lost in Space series was one of my favorites!! It would be really cool if Netflix can bring it back and make a success of it.
Rational: Thanks for holding the discussion.
I have only vague memories of Lost in Space. The 1998 movie had possibilities, but blew it with what seemed to me a timid, unimaginative storyline and overblown special effects. Let's hope the new version does better.
