I want to be Green Siskin. I saw that on my last bag of wild bird seed.
Good?
After extensive controlled experiments, we have found that wild birds by far prefer Fritos. So do squirrels.
We have a local one-legged scrub jay "Gimpy" that will rip a Frito out of my hand, mid-air if I'm too slow putting them down on the deck.
The jays and the ravens fight over the Fritos. The jays win.
Don't tire your valuable brain discussing hard stuff like system dynamics, or especially electronic design. Kid-level insults are your real talent.
That's the usual pattern:
"Maybe A causes B"
"You are an idiot."
Pine Siskin.
Ours is "Berry", lost a foot many months ago. Another jay limps on a bad leg. I think they're being injured by someone's mouse traps.
Possibly bit by a snake or something. Gimpy seems to get along fine. Birds often perch on one lag.
Is Win Hill technically illiterate?
Of course John Doe does post a lot of badly formatted off-topic posts, quite a few of them about the moral defects of transgender athletes.
The world is full of consultants who will offer help at a fixed hourly rate.
Any useful form of blocking would exclude John Doe - he really is a useless troll.
John Doe does have these persistent delusions.
Over on the sub-reddit Covid19Positive it's possible to read the first-hand accounts from users who figured the virus was no big deal, and ended up getting sick.
And then still figured it was no big deal, at least for a while until they started getting even sicker, not improving, and eventually started looking for answers from anyone they could to questions like "When will I start getting better" or "What meds can I take/what special thing can I demand they do at the hospital that will improve my condition" or "I'm not going to die, am I?"
And others sometimes try to formulate some upbeat responses but nobody really has any good answers; the users in question seem unable to process the concept that their fate is now truly in the hands of whatever God they believe in.
It makes for sobering reading, if they weren't afraid before they are by that point.
Woo hoo! That got me a big laugh!!!
No need to condemn every conservative by the actions of a few vocal members of any group. I don't appreciate it when someone condemns all liberals for the actions of Antifa groups.
The straw people... would that be the Socialists or the Leftists? You are talking about your comments, right?
If that is a problem, why do you continue to do so much of it??? Either stop doing it or stop complaining about it.
Nobody has insulted you.
"Those who could do with a better understanding of reality, such as John Larkin, either cannot or will not try to understand it."
That's not very objective discussion. Kid level stuff, to avoid thinking unwelcome thoughts. Or thinking at all.
Nothing wrong with condemning all liberals, what a hoot. I don't appreciate it when I'm mistaken for e.g. Kamala "The Jailer" Harris at all! "Un-American" is OK:
Except when Trumpos try to join in the fun then I also get annoyed:
There's the type of libertarian who'd be happy to spend hours working on repairing a neighbor's car for free out of the goodness of their own heart, but would refuse to vote to spend any of their own money on repairing a publicly-owned roadway, such that the pothole that caused the neighbor's car to require repairs, would have been significantly less likely to exist to cause the damage that required hours of work to repair in the first place...
They seemed to forget about the bears, though, who have no knowledge of politics or governments. Centrally-organized sanitation systems, and using them as designed, are a pretty great idea:
Local power structures on the scale of hamlets, or home-owners associations, tend to be a farce. And even libertarian hamlets have a power structure of some type.
Regrettably the type of US libertarian who moves to NH to start their libertarian society seems to forget even the basics of how societies and economies work, much less the advanced stuff.
Old-time wisdom about group power and societies from e.g. Hugo Grotius says a person who is e.g. estranged from their children is unfit to manage any society larger than a family until they learn how to manage a family.
But there are very likely many politicians and CEOs who are estranged from their kids.
