@process That man will never come close to being a "friend". Racist to the core.

Looking up "tactical voting" for my constituency this morning. Result: "NONE, vote for whom you wish". Well, thanks for reminding me that we live in the backside of the country and our votes won't make a blind bit of difference! πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

I don't know what is happening outside my window but there is a little girl, must be all of 4 years old, and she is giggling for all she's worth! A real, belly giggle, that just makes me grin listening to her joy in playing. The world needs more of this.

@Booga This is one problem with cultish behaviour. They believe what they believe based on from whom they get their "facts". So they can't allow themselves to think otherwise. Whatever lie they are told becomes their "truth". To dispel that lie becomes a matter of personal survival and trauma. And so history records the lie, because it's too hard to tell the truth.

@Booga Indeed. It's all in "how it's told". There are so many lies told, as you say, because of bias. If AI could be used for ONE GOOD THING, it might be in sifting truth from propaganda, but that won't happen. Who programs the AI? Even the history I have seen will be distorted after I am gone. And I won't be able to set it right any more. We need to maintain our right to question everything! Critical thinking should be a life-skill.

@CriticalCupcake Ride in the back of the car? Yes. Lay on the furniture, no. (pack order). family vacations? Of course! They are family! Be fed at the table? No. They are pets. The table is for people, the "top dogs of the pack".

@th3j35t3r That's good to read! Everyone deserves to be part of this great community. You've worked hard for that. Thank you! ❀️

Funny thing about "history". It can be very different, depending on who's telling it. Funny thing about nearing my 70s.. I've witnessed a lot of decades with my own two eyes. It's not so easy to be fooled about those! I wish we could retain history in a way that leaves no doubt what happened, who is to blame, who is to be praised, and who was honest about their story.

@Museek Haha, yeah, I know that feeling! "Come talk with me?" "What? You're bored already?" πŸ˜‚
