Yeah, the response to COVID was silly, in general. I think Trump was in a bad position then, though, as if he hadn't done shutdowns the Dems would have howled about how he didn't care about people dying and would have then gotten into office and administered something even more stupid.

I wonder why in October of 2021 everything went up so fast?

I believe it was Nero who said, when confronted with the fact that the urine collection for doing laundry was an unpleasant odor, that "Money does not stink". Of course, One should examine their life objectives if they find that Nero is their idol.

That's partly why. I remember they did some change of ownership or something that caused the content to start sucking.

I don't read it a "lot more". I read it now and again, and yes, this is usually because a search engine somewhere has bumped it up to the top. Formerly, as in probably 7-8 years ago, I was reading more stack overflow and tech republic for the kinds of things that now show up on reddit.

If I wrote it, I'd have to read it. I'm not the best example of monetizing my content here. I am a good example, though, of showing how the freedom of the press is more here than other places on the net.

I think the best use case for stacker.news is the kinds of independent publishing and monetization it allows for. I put my own book here in rough format first, and since there was interest in the agora, made a store yesterday for selling pdfs of publications. To me, that's how you are going to spread the use--people go where the content they want to consume is.

This is not the ideal way to uninstall it, for sure.

I wrote the whole thing here as a stacker exclusive. I'm sure you can find it if you look around. #507279

I don't want to be remembered once I'm dead. (some folks don't taste death I hear) If I am going to be remembered, might as well be now while it might do me some good. People can, for instance, right now, purchase my book(s).

Or any book...

I generally find people who write this kind of poetry to have done the opposite of what this poem says.

Play AI games, win AI prizes.

Ah, yeah, I all ready know all this. I thought maybe the video was saying something else. Thanks! (Glad I didn't hit play and then understand it was all the stuff I knew)

An hour and forty minutes is a little long. Do you have a summary of the main points this video is making?

Without providing evidence? Uh, I think Tulsi Gabbard has been providing mountains of it?

Yep. He said people couldn't imagine what it meant...
