What is he supposed to do? At least he is letting the world know what he thinks. That's something. Someone once told me that if you aren't pissed off then you are not paying close attention. I don't know about that. I prefer to be in good humour but sometimes I shake my head in anger and helplessness, so I can empathize.

If you're looking for a business partner, then that would be a good site I guess.

Don't feel sorry for that guy. He's a hero. The only way for evil to take hold in any situation is for good men to do nothing (quote by Edmund Burke).

It was Hobbes who said...

"But his Lordship [tells]us that God is wholly here, and wholly there, and wholly every where; because he has no parts. I cannot comprehend nor conceive this. For methinks it implies also that the whole world is also in the whole God, and in every part of God. Nor can I find anything of this in the Scripture. If I could find it there, I could believe it; and if I could find it in the public doctrine of the Church, I could easily abstain from contradicting it."

In northern Canada we have 63 names for "Trump".

Why should we have ideals anymore? Wallowing in the muck is almost paradise. /s

Hello. I don't usually make personal posts but I am glad this site exists. I left reddit after 5 years. It was on reddit that I was pointed here. The Fediverse sounds like a beneficial collective and I am excited to see it grow.

Usually I just post stupid puns (which are very clever in my head) and topical quips which offer nothing (but are very genius in my head). I hope to have fun, get informed, and learn something from the pack along the way. Goodbye.

3 times in my life I took out a consolidation loan to corral all those costs and pay them off. Credit cards are both a blessing and a curse. Gov't should provide credit services at a reasonable, non-compounding, interest rate.

Between credit card companies, finance companies and the banks, the interest they extract yearly would put all the space billionaires to shame.

Signed and done.

Evolution of human behaviour is slow. Right now we are all enmeshed in the dawning discovery that the current way we run society is falling apart at the seams. Just enter the core of almost any city in North America and you'll see what I mean (and not just N. America). It'll take a while to set itself right, or it may all just burn in a raging nuclear fire launched by a pissed off oligarch who does not get his way.

Definitely not forward progress towards a better day.

Never lose your cool. Smile and talk to them like they are a three year old.
