That was fascinating and well done. It gets a little dry at half way but then he gets into the interesting stuff with the clips. It’s obvious why democrats hate his videos even though he does nothing but identify speech patterns that most definitely sound like a certain type of person. He should compare npr to right wing am radio to see what is exclusively going on.

@npub16er…rmn3 I’m in Alaska and below 30 for a week doesn’t typically make a battery totally dead, but if it was just not enough to turn the engine over, that sounds more normal. But I’ve left my truck out for a week with a good battery and it still fired up. So if the battery was really dead, I would suspect a bad ground somewhere and I would start looking at any place that has had some diy tinkering first.
I hope you report back when you figure out what it is.

@npub1cx7…5lhk I’m positive she flies. And it’s because someone provided a really good justification for it to her.
Reminds me that I used to watch these Australian YouTubers that were sailing all over. The last episode I watched was when they had Greta onboard. It was interesting. She was listening to an audiobook of 1984 and she said in a whisper “this is really depressing” and then made a gag yourself gesture.

@npub1r46…870e @npub16l5…f9s2 ya that sums it up quite well.
I personally enjoy memes and can scroll past the ones that are duds quite easily. I also use my home feed a lot more than my local feed, especially because some of the NA listeners that I enjoy are on other instances. If I need a break from someone, I just mute them for awhile instead of unfollow. Works quite well. Or if it is someone that I find more toxic I never follow them and maybe mute. I feel like Cpt. Obvious saying this. 🤷‍♂️

NAS wasn’t anti-NA until Adam was anti-NAS. Did something similar happen with the Facebook group and NA forum that John refers to? I haven’t been around long enough to know.

2024-01-13 22:42:02

Went to a social gathering this morning for breakfast. Somebody had a grand daughter born on Jan 6th. Everyone laughed and winced about the date. Then someone said “I’m afraid that will be our new Independence Day.”
That was followed by a lot of “Oh I know.”
Fear can be addiction to self validation.

@npub1yme…r6e2 umm there’s a fair amount considering there are only 10 million in all of Sweden and many of the 10 mil aren’t even Swedish. They have had their share of immigration problems.
Now I’m curious how many people in the US have Swedish heritage. I wonder if the number is bigger than the population of Sweden. I come across people that are Swedish or Scandinavian all of the time, especially in Alaska.

It’s a stupid loop of a conversation that only exemplifies how stubborn and hypocritical people can be because of their vulnerable pride. They can hate their own government and claim no responsibility for it but want gringos to eat the disrespect with a smile because they deserve it.

despite all of the bad things caused by drug cartels sponsored by the Mexican government that Mexicans, the people, can’t seem to prevent to this day, I don’t call Mexicans beaners just cuz they deserve a little ribbing.
The US didn’t steal anything. It used the name of the land. But maybe it’s an issue because Americans act like the own the place.
Ultimately we are just running into an issue that the founders didn’t consider or couldn’t resolve, but “gringos” isn’t the solution.

@npub1yme…r6e2 @npub19fy…n5nv I agree. I don’t really enjoy the argument about whether fascism is left or right. It’s a 3 dimensional plane and fascism is going in the opposite direction I think is best on one of those planes, and it’s obvious looking at its results. It’s collectivism and it’s radically progressive. It just has nationalism thrown in there with extremely high priority.
And Teddy Rosevelt is as authoritarian and big government as I want to go.

@npub1yme…r6e2 there is a historical context behind the names, both gringo and American. One is negative and the other is positive. When the US named itself, it was the first and only United States of America. It was the first colony to claim sovereignty in the Americas.
I feel that if positions were flipped and Mexico was the thriving high GDP nation and the US was struggling between 2nd and 3rd world status, I don’t think it would seem like such an issue that Americans called themselves Americans.

- Hosts and distributors can take down whatever they want or leave up whatever they want, but nobody can sue the hosts or distributors, including users
- unless the host does not communicate with legal requests and actions that have already been approved by a judge like a search warrant.
- or if they violate any of these requirements
Just a thought. Feel free to tell me it’s a horrible idea and why.

2024-01-13 07:33:50

I have pondered what can be done about social media.
The best thought I have had requires legislation, so I don’t love it, but I still end up pondering the notion:
In order for a company to not be liable for content:
- They can’t own or control individuals’ words or content.
- Companies can host or distribute (provide a feed) but they can’t do both.
- Legal hosts must allow users to give access or block whatever distributors they wish to block.

@npub1yme…r6e2 even if the only thing you do is bribe a cop a few dollars to stay out of trouble, you are feeding the corrupt system. It just seems so impossible to get rid of.
It has to happen at an incremental level with a culture shift and, yes, education is a good place to start. But the lefties keep thinking they are the compassionate ones and teach kids to hate freedom which is what a free and honest market truly is.
Anyway. Thanks for the discussion.

@npub1yme…r6e2 but I will agree that blaming Spain is a scapegoat. They have been gone for centuries, as you say. I just don’t see how to get rid of the corruption when it is everywhere and actually keeps things going. There is an attitude in Latin America that if you aren’t taking advantage of opportunities to be corrupt, then you aren’t doing what you can to take care of your family. And I sort of agree with it because often times I would see no way to get ahead without participating.

I am not a snowflake though. I used the term to refer to myself a lot when I lived in Central America for 3 years. It just grates on me that there isn’t mutual respect.
I could converse with you forever about this. I find it very fascinating to hear from people that value liberty and individualism like many US citizens do, but have a different background of education and culture.

@npub1yme…r6e2
you are totally right about Biden and the socialists of Latin America hating together the US and having allegiances in that sense. But that’s sort of my point. Biden and the lot that vote for him take no issue with being called gringo. They think “we deserve it”.
Gringo is derogatory because it comes from wanting the US military to go home. It would be like calling Germans krauts still to this day.

2024-01-12 23:33:38

- reply

@npub1yme…r6e2 everything about Gringo is derogatory. It’s only been lessened by its frequent usage and because the US accepts an understanding of the sentiment. Beaner is derogatory only because of the way people use it. If it was used all of the time and without flinching, it would just mean “those that eat a lot of beans.”
Trust, me I’ve heard that explanation for why you want call us what we call ourselves a thousand times. It is nitpicking that comes from animosity.

2024-01-12 23:23:49

- reply

@npub1yme…r6e2 well we are getting into a lot now.
I will just say for right now, the US doesn’t have an interest in keeping Latin America in 3rd world status. Everything I have seen in Latin America has been primarily self inflicted because of the shitty cultural tendencies that the Spanish left behind. For example, The Philippines has the exact same issues.

2024-01-12 23:15:15

@npub1yme…r6e2 and re: no group is all bad
Point is gringo is derogatory and I’m not redefining history or anything to say that. Gringo is used consistently even for people liked. Beaner isn’t really derogatory in comparison. But if I say Americano, “well actually that’s offensive”.

2024-01-12 23:06:42

@npub1yme…r6e2 ya I understand that.
And I understand that all of Latin America will always enjoy making fun of Americans which isn’t all bad I guess. I’m not French after all, and I can take some kidding 😜 especially because we are arrogant and could use some kidding.
Just would like some mutual respect because I see Latin America go to socialism partly because of the animosity towards Americans and that’s a big mistake.

2024-01-12 22:49:34

@npub1yme…r6e2 in English I always say American. I honestly have never heard anyone refer to themselves or a group of people as Americanos when wanting to refer to people in the Americas. Rarely are we grouped together anyway. But in Spanish or “when in Rome” I use gringo just to avoid the constant correction (“well actually”), but it has always bugged me because gringo is used consistently and pins the relationship into a negative one. 🤷‍♂️

This takes us into weeds fast because it requires defining left and right and where fascism lands and how it is used.
However I don’t disagree with opposing the language games that come from the left. It’s like “legalizing gay marriage” made it seem like if you were opposed to them, you wanted gay marriage to be illegal. It wasn’t ever illegal in the US in my lifetime or my parents’. Law enforcement wasn’t busting up gay wedding ceremonies or invading people’s homes.

@npub1rm0…9jhy they used to focus a little more on finding stuff that is funny to people who aren’t part of the mass psychosis. And they had new jingles sprinkled in with the old ones. Now it’s just, at best, a variation of old jingles.
But I believe in general, everything is a little stale. Shocking news isn’t so shocking anymore. I personally would like to hear some optimism and news that is verifiable for a change instead of constant grousing and speculation.

@npub1ug7…n0uq @npub1dux…wjvy ya. And the ridiculous argument always made by self identified communists or even socialists is that the definition of communism is the absence of state, which is an impossible achievement, especially with the way they think it should be implemented. So they can always deny that anything that has resulted in totalitarianism was their vision because it got co-opted.
If we call it totalitarianism they get offended. If we call it communism, they just roll their eyes and laugh.

@npub1xd3…9tk9 it’s been much longer than a decade. They have been wrong about everything except the military industrial complex, but now they seem to be all for it.

@npub1aem…r94a @npub1x47…tlfg he’s just a teacher’s pet trying to say whatever to impress the latest. Morgan Freedman, Bill Cosby, Denzel Washington, etc have all been saying that stuff for quite some time. He’s such a poser. But at least he’s saying the right things at the moment. Still don’t like him or trust him until he realizes he’s been apart of the problem and he genuinely realizes it and regrets it.
Until then, I’d love to see someone give him a wedgy.

Good for you both.
My wife is the most stubborn and self assured person I know. Ironically I would probably be more persuasive if I didn’t spend so much time in the garage smoking weed and listening to NA. 🤣

@npub1rd4…nr2u and they will probably get it because the majority of families send their kids to public schools still.
I don’t know what is a feasible way to stop this madness. And if there isn’t a force out there purposefully dividing us so we can be conquered, it’s still what is happening.
Collectivism and totalitarianism is an infectious mental disease that evolves to survive.

@npub1rd4…nr2u geez. Are there states that provide vouchers yet? That’s crazy. I am an advocate for fixing public schools not for my kids but for my kids’ entire generation. More and more parents homeschooling is making the public schools even worse because they have less resistance.
My local school district is losing students and therefore funding, so the school board is LITERALLY crying during their meetings pleading the state legislature to give them more funding.

@npub1py7…w4p4 I said all of these same things 15 years ago. And I have been rooting for Linux ever since. But Microsoft knows very well that Office is their linchpin. And all other developers follow suit. And most line of business apps focus primarily on just Windows, not even Mac.
But I’ll admit Linux distros keep making it easier and with web apps and cloud services, it’s easier for Linux to make some advancements on the market and more developers are making Linux versions of their software.
