I think it's always going to be about 20% of the population (I'm guessing but I also don't think its a high percentage) that will always be tech literate ... or tech capable.

Everyone is skilled in some areas more than others. And the general population will always be like that no matter the era, generation or geography or capability or access.

I grew up poor in northern Ontario in Canada in an Indigenous community. I really have no real training to speak of, nor do I have any post secondary education ... I have high school but never had the opportunity to go further than that. But I have a good brain (at least I think I do) ... I learned about computer tech on my own - first learning how to use Windows, installing uninstalling stuff, then fixing updating, repairing and maintaining systems ... then drifted into the software cracking, windows cracking stuff ... then over to patching, fixing and maintaining hardware to just keep everything working ... I'm not wealthy, so I always had to figure stuff out on my own. Then once private software became too difficult, I went over to open source software with Linux and freeware and now build and repair and maintain my own systems and fix stuff for other people.

All the while, the majority of everyone else I knew never learned to do these things. I few of my friends are like me and did stuff on their own but not many (which is why I say 20%) .. the majority of everyone else just shell out money they don't have to buy $1,000 phones and $2,000 laptops to fix their problems.

It's a good thing they didn't call it oand if the person who invented the world decided to use ocean instead of sea.

Apt metaphor .... the casino is now being run by a compulsive gambler surrounded by fellow gamblers who all think they're going to win even more money by gambling all the casino money away.

Stop teasing us America .... we know what bat shit crazy politics you're capable of.

I won't believe she's out of politics until I see her out of politics.

War is no longer about good or evil .... it's just a business ... resolving conflicts is not good business but perpetual war is, no matter the reason.

We are a global society that enjoys profiting off killing one another

I too, like living in the transport buffer

Are they giving Isreal a deadline to complete their genocide?

By September, there won't be much of a Palestine left to recognize.

Really? ... I would have taken you more of a Frosted Mini Spooner type

Tasty mystery meat full of salt and fat that will eventually cause colon cancer?

Intermittent fasting .... it was probably a normal way for us to live as humans hundreds of years ago when food wasn't so freely available like today.

I grew up poor as an Indigenous Canadian with my family in the north. I remember being a kid and just going on breakfast (which was always oatmeal) and lunch with no other meals during the day .... and it was just normal.

You wanted a snack late at night? No, there's nothing to eat, go play with your siblings and go to bed.

And as teens and adults, if we were travelling on the land and moving from place to place for hunting/trapping/fishing, it was normal to go a day without food just to get work done on time.

Give it another ten minutes ... it's amazing how long you can go without food. As long as you have something to drink, your stomach will rumble and grumble endlessly but you'll be able to function for a day or two without food. It's miserable yes, but it won't kill you.

Edibles were so good, you weren't even standing in your own bathroom ...... and why is the lady behind the door screaming in some Eastern European language?
