Why not buy some under water drills and an underwater propulsion device then go down to the marina and sink some expensive yatchs? How about slashing some police tires?
Why not study an industry you wanna take down and figure out how? Or gather an online flash mob and invade a conservative website or institution. How about running for office at your local council? Or sending letters to good and bad politicians saying what you think. Contact the media about something you believe but make sure it’s the right level for what you’re saying.
In a lost in the wilderness survival situation you probably want to scout the lay of the land from where you are, then follow the valleys to the nearest water source, or coast, as settlements are usually by the water.
The Official title of Taiwan is The Republic of China.
They still allowed the KMT (aka The Chinese Nationalist Party), to participate in their Democracy even though it ran the country as an anti-democracy Authoritarian state for 40 years.
Taiwan and China do a lot of trade together, a war would be difficult for both of them.
It’s a certain mentally that sometimes makes that change. Lyndon Larouche made the change and became a conspiracy theorist, as did Jordan Peterson.
It’s an interesting path, but sometimes it’s expressive of someone who feels betrayed by Western Democratic Liberalism as a whole (aka society). That kind of person is often an outsider, and outsiders can do some strange and sometimes even dangerous things.
Technically he’s a Spock stand in: hyper logical but not quite getting humanity.
This characteristic… In fact lots of characteristics get shared and mix and matched across DS9, TNG, and Voyager.
In Voyager Seven of Nine and The Doctor are the “not quite understanding humanity” characters. In DS9, it’s Odo.
Ideally newer Trek would do this too, but it might also want to have:
A quirky or modded engineer: LaForge, O’Brien, Scotty, Be’lana.
A superior strength character: Spock, Data, Odo, Worf, Seven of Nine, Tuvok.
…and maybe a couple of psychic characters, Spock, Kes, Tuvok, Seven of Nine, Benjamin.
You’ll probably also need some mentally brilliant characters, a Klingon, and someone who doesn’t fit in due to a negative background and is jaded about it.
…a brilliant doctor helps too.
These characteristics are needed so you can write certain storyline types and stand alone episodes.
Yeah, but Data is actually intelligent and brilliant. ChatGPT is often just giving best averaged answers based on what’s most likely - and still hallucinates even in the latest version.
I haven’t used it, but it happens even in the demo they showed.
It’s great that the two characters discuss this topic, I think it’s in the multi-part TNG episode where Ambassador Spock is creating a dissident movement on Romulus.
Why does shitting your pants seem such an American phenomena? I’ve seen or heard about this activity through reddit a couple of times, and also on “people of walmart”.
Is it a dietary thing? A cultural thing? is it just because most media is American? What’s the deal America?
Assuming it used all the same tools and techniques, making only minor replacements of tractors for voluntary domestic labor … I don’t see why it couldn’t reach averages in a similar magnitude. Given them larger plots where they could use industrial tools and they should produce about the same on average.
Eother way there attempts more self sufficiency are to be commended… So the I’m not sure of the point of the post really.
If we had a socialist style of market economy like Vietnam we’d produce more crops.
Also in a correctly valued economy we wouldn’t have to subsidize farming.
Honestly, you don’t have to do much to villainize some aspects of industrial farming. It’s mostly only possible due to the haber-bosch nitrogenation process, which was invented by the same guy who invented chemical warfare, and the process itself uses lots of petrochemicals and dumps a lot of nitrogen into the natural environment. That’s not even getting into the use of migrant workers, or the patenting of dna over some crops, and the food monopolies that exist in some countries.
I also don’t think it’s a case of “there can be only one system”… And I don’t run into a lot of people saying that.
For myself, this isn’t one of the more pressing issues in the world. I don’t really think people have enough land to be able to be self-sufficient, but gardening is a nice hobby.
Food markets vary from nation to nation, and have political aspects I’m fairly disinterested in, so can’t really comment on that.

I think elite schools are just first in line in terms of being political betrayers of the actual substantive left. The interests of those schools and the families that tend to be able to afford to send their children there just tend to be aligned with the interests of capital as a whole.
I forget whether it was the Koch brothers or other fracking billionaires who provided the seed money for Ben Shapiro to set up The Daily wire, but no doubt those sorts of people are financially tied to him being their mouthpiece.
Money talks, and this is all a substantial element of why we live in a two party system, even though the majority always seems like left leaning liberals… Because the free market right have a greater level of class interests with the wealthy, and so can afford greater platforms in culture and in researching how to manipulate the political theatre of opinion.
EDIT: Yeah, it was the Wilks brothers (fracking billionaires) who funded the set up of The Daily Wire. They also donate millions to PragerU. I think one of the Wilks brothers has his own church now too.
Yeah, I think so. Traditionally universities have swung left, as intellectuals and well researched people tend to swing that way, but within the last couple of decades (as more public institutions have become more privatised and more reliant on private interests) the rightwing figures have had greater success and gaining influence in these institutions
Here’s a 2019 episode from a podcast (the Know Your Enemy podcast) which details some of Charles Koch’s techniques and success in this area:
Why be a dick about it when you can just ignore them. Seems like they’re just trying to communicate in a way that’s generally experienced as nice.
Like I get it, it’s easy to get annoyed at people trying to “make” you participate in an imaginary and kinda lame social behaviour… But like, being a dick on purpose probably does you more damage than them
No one likes someone whose rude for the sake of being rude, or an edgelord, even being a contrarian just for the sake of it isn’t the greatest characteristic.
Better to find a stable calm attitude that doesn’t require that… And if it’s a way to blow off steam, better to find ways that are more in your own domain of control, rather than having it controlled by an external trigger.
Something to give thought to next time your driving jeep anyways.
