No, don't pay attention to the actionable things we do to harm you! Uh!!!! The Earth is Flath! 5G! 5G! 5G is bad! Uh.. 5G! Uh......... We faked a school shooting! The planes on 9/11 were holograms! We never went to the moon! Aliens! Fluoride in the water!
Something I've noticed about myself is that early in the morning my ability to visualize things is far greater than the rest of the. In the morning I can visualize an entire world, with vivid colors, complex machines with moving parts, detailed faces, all without any issue. Then as the day goes on, I slowly slip into 3, colors are faded, I can only easily visualize single objects.
The contradictions and failings was how I "freed" myself from it. I realized that I expected people to act in their own interests, and in the interests of their communities. But I realized that libertarianism had no guarantees that people would, and I had seen many example of people, when given the opportunity to do whatever they want, nearly always make the worst choices. It also didn't have guarantees that people wouldn't splinter off and form their own communities and power structures. When you follow the logical conclusions of that, you realize the whole thing is bogus. People will band together to make their own groups and get what they need, and implement rules to ensure their own people's success.
I left because Libertarianism is a political philosophy for highly independent and teenagers. Nothing about it makes sense passed "I don't want mom and dad to tell me what to do."
I don't think they expect blacks to replace them ever. Most everything in Chicago that blacks live in is rentals, I'd imagine. Probably part of the problem is that blacks refuse to change the alarm and expect the landlord to do it for them (same goes for literally any other basic maintenance). This is probably to protect land lords from lawsuits if a fire happens.
She was real, but was probably retarded, and her "interpreters" made up their own speeches. She worked closely with Anne Sullivan for most of her life, and when Anne died, I don't believe Hellen published another book, though she continues writing letters.
The real issue is that there's never been another Hellen Keller, before or since. All of the "modern Hellen Keller's" have been people who lost both senses late in childhood, which isn't the same thing.
Something you may want to look at is an adapter to go to Nikon lenses from the 80's (nikon f mount I think). No auto focus, but optically these lenses are really sharp. There is a 500mm focal length "mirror" lens that you can get for around 100~200 dollars. It's not a perfect 500mm lens, but the mirror lenses made today are made as cheaply as possible and are nowhere near as good as the nikon lens from the 80's, and refractor lenses in that focal length are heavy and very expensive comparatively.
No I wanna heck'n enjoy my kids movie! No I don't want to mention the social issues that caused this, I just want me heck'n kids show!"
Worse than boomers.
I want to stop people from illegally coming in here, but also I think we should let in as many people as we can. Then we can eat our cake and have some too.
It's true with a lot of mediums. Another problem with this is that, actually, there are a lot of talented artists, including the ones that we think are hacks. The problem is that no one is paying for people to make classical marble statues. The art market, which has largely been captured by usual suspects, pays more for trash piles.
