There you go then, now we can all go nuts, flushing away!:-)

Only if climate change doesn't kill us all first:-)

Okay well if you want to talk more about it we can but obviously not if you need a break. I did warn you... that video is... a LOT to have to process! I have watched it many times and still can't quite put my finger on it.

If in part it seems like it is missing something, note that it is: judgement. The creator does not say whether these things are "good" or "bad", as almost every other YouTuber does these days, but simply presents the information for us to make up our own judgements. Wow, such respect accorded to us!

Fwiw I think you are right about a lot of what you said: the forces of Globalization and Automation are changing our world, and Democracy isn't as necessary as it once was, to have e.g. advances in science, technology, and so on. e.g. Boeing planes can literally fall out of the sky, and what do trillionaires care for the loss of a few more of the masses, among the billions of people already on this planet, when they have computers and possibly a single pilot to fly their fleet of tens of private jets anywhere and however they want?

Anyway, rest easy - these things won't be solved overnight, or possibly at all, but either way they are kinda out of our hands.

Or doesn't string theory postulate that electrons themselves are merely vibrations of even more foundational... thingies, though ofc nobody really knows much about that.

Maybe we're all part of the same waveform duality equation:-). I really dislike the thought that I could be in any way related to Donald Trump, but it does give me compassion to think that there but for the grace of God (and education, and genetics, and circumstances, and hopefully many more things added to this list to provide separation:-) go I, or any of us really.

Or like a forklift (or tank!). Dang boy, what have they been feeding you out there!? :-P

I only do it once a day even - the flossing part before bed is by far the most important iirc.

"Need"? Not really.

"Want"? Absolutely, apparently.

But it is their house, so their rules, and the issue of corruption in the world won't be solved overnight. The same if someone says "you can't smoke weed at my house", okay then... you know what to do about it - find another house, or even make one on your own.:-)

Here's to hoping that it happens right at midnight for ya! :-D

Sadly, corruption won't go away anytime soon, though I do wonder how long the UK and USA will both last, when trillionaires have more money than actual governments.:-(

See e.g. the story in the USA where the whistleblower was "suicided" while testifying against Boeing for failure to follow safety protocols. Wings are falling off of planes, and nobody will do a damn thing about it.:-( Bc why should a person who has their own jet want to pay taxes to pay the salaries of those who enforce safety standards, just to protect The Poors?:-(

Depending on your method of access to your Lemmy.World instance, there should be a view source button where you can see exactly how this was done. Have fun with it, and use responsibly! :-)
