When the "people" made the Internet, they hoped it would be a way for the masses to have access to information. If you think about it, pretty much the totality of human knowledge is available online. Everything from ancient (and now extinct) languages, to astrophysics, how to build a canoe, science, technology, gluten free recipes and so on are accessible to the majority of people on the planet. That the same people spend most of their time looking at cat memes and buttsex porn...is another story. :)
But, and as is often the case, its been hijacked by corporatists wanting to make several more billions. As an example, earlier today I tapped Santa Fe into Bing, and was surprised and disappointed to find that the first page of search results was not about "Santa Fe" the city, but rather "Santa Fe" which apparently some car has the same name. Santa Fe the city, is the oldest continuously inhabited capital city in the USA. It has eons of history, culture, unique music, language, dance, cuisine, Native American jewelry, is internationally known, is probably one of the highest per capita cities for having gazillionares, movie stars, Opera, and so forth, but rather than it being the first "hit" from search engines...it goes to the gross commercialization of business wanting to sell you...a fucking car. Its so disgusting.
"Foothold"?
As in...a foot fetish? :)
“Why try hard when you can just skate by?” mentality embraced by some young people has not been enthusiastically received in official circles. We're seeing this on a global scale. Its a total shift of priorities, values, interests, on how people are wanting to live their lives. Chasing money for more material possessions...working 50, 60, 90 hours a week, for garbage wages, getting nowhere, is rapidly becoming a thing of the past...or what I'll call "Boomer" culture. Its not the 1950s to the 1990s anymore, and the ability to work hard and come out ahead, is largely gone. So instead of fighting it...people are saying "Fuck it" and adopting a new view of what's important in their lives. And I have to say...good for them. :)
Gotta "love" this sort of "Christian Patriotism". Tear gassing innocent people, who are hanging out in the park on a fine afternoon, a park *owned* by the *people*, so this stupid fuck can go do a photo-op, by holding a Bible, upside down and backwards. #MAGA
Can we vote on war?
I vote...no.

Professional procrastinators...
