    Cows are smarter than they look. Long ago I worked in a dairy operation and they would do things to fuck with you… like if you weren’t super careful in a milking stall they’d casually lean to one side (“oopsie! my bad”) to squish you. Or let the poop rip at just the right moment.

    I don’t blame them one bit.


  • Absolutely, but if you were really interested in facts this information is not hard to find once you stop watching cable news…… I doubt you’ll read any of it but here is a random google search….

    Your snark, arrogance and cynicism are unwarranted and inappropriate.

    But I do appreciate your providing some info - I was genuinely curious and didn’t quite know where to find this evidence - initial searches did not turn up the kind of “overwhelming evidence” you claimed existed. I’m not for a second disputing the USA’s involvement in coup attempts or regime change in general - I think this is quite adequately documented. But your claim was that there is “…overwhelming evidence Blinken has supported multiple coup attempts” but the best you can do is to essentially say he’s guilty of this personally because he has worked for the US government.

    That’s honestly pretty weak.





  • There are now machines (Autorefractor) that will (more!) accurately get your prescription auto-magically. A couple of years ago I went to place that had one, but where the doctor also checked the traditional way. The results were the identical.

    I’d guess that inside of 10 years you will just get your prescription by computer and that inside of 25 surgery or other solutions will be automated and permanent. This industry of charlatans will be no more.




  • No starlink alternative

    Of course you get downvoted. Because people don’t know. Let me try to help educate y’all.

    In many rural areas in the US there is NO (as in zero, nada, zilch) cable, DSL or even mobile/LTE. Nothing. I know because I live in one of those areas. So your internet options are:

    1. Read books and talk to people
    2. A traditional satellite provider like Hughesnet or Viasat, where you’ll have 10 GB daytime MONTHLY quotas, 800ms latency and extremely poor service.
    3. Twiddle your thumbs and call it twidder.

    Until Starlink came along I could not work remotely, stream any content or game. Despite being usually 20 MBps down, Hughesnet was so high latency that page loads were usually 10-20 seconds or more. A lot of things that had short timeouts simply didn’t work. So yeah, I self-flaggilate every time I pay the bill but Starlink has allowed us to have a normal internet life.

    You don’t disagree with Kling enough to object. This is clearly demonstrated here.

    Edit: Let me a little more clear. Kling is the one bringing politics into it. The change was simple (one word!) and technically correct. It would be like if I said “I want our new logo to be red” and you said “don’t bring politics into it” when really I just like tomatoes and sunsets.

    people can have different views. you might not like them but it’s their views, not yours

    Yes, they can. And I can also view their views with disdain… or even horror and choose not to support their efforts, whatever they may be.

    What you are really saying here is that you to some degree don’t disagree with Kling and so it’s this particular view you find acceptable to let pass. If it were something like “people should be fine eating small children” you might react differently.





  • I will never love myself, does that means I earned my loneliness?

    It means you deserve loneliness. Because you didn’t take responsibility for doing the one MOST BASIC thing, which is to love yourself and believe in yourself. It doesn’t have to be perfect or 100% (in fact better not!) but you do have to be able to see the good in yourself such that you can have confidence others will see it too.

    Instead you blame others for it and feel sorry for yourself. You don’t even seem to realize that it’s this fact and your lack of responsibility toward yourself that is the reason others may find it hard to love you.

    You and only you are responsible for that. Fix that and you fill not be lonely. Nobody wants to be around someone like that.


  • This is your primary issue right here. You value yourself so little that the only value in life you see is in being in a relationship. Or to put it another way, you only see value in yourself when you think others value you. Which means, as others have alluded to and very much not coincidentally, that you will not be successful in a relationship. If you can’t accept and love yourself for who you are, others will inevitably have a hard time doing so as well.
    Given your responses thus far you won’t take this well because you are convinced you know better. And that is your secondary issue.

    To answer your question: It’s over-rated and not all it’s cracked up to be. It has benefits but so does being single.

    But if you want to experience, stop feeling sorry for yourself. Grow up and learn to value you for who you are or nobody else will.
