Damn I feel dumb.
Edit: this seems a dumb thing to post in hindsight. I just am interested in the politics, we don’t have set running mates over here, I think. |

Other places also have to live with a rising population age and this is also the most cited reason in Europe and elsewhere of the need for inward migration.

| It was a scandal that Barbie was not awarded. If the producers had shown suicidal bravery, and total commitment to gaining an award, could it have been a greater travesty? I think not. |

| Holy wow. I just read on the BBC that RFK Jnr is considering both Aaron Rodgers and Jesse Ventura for his VP. If I were sat on your political fence these would sway me greatly. How much proof is needed that Robert F. Kennedy would best represent the American people abroad, and in defense, than these... |

| The EU declaring yesterday to cut 5% use of a limited list of plastics is somewhat positive, better than hand-wringing. 5% is such a small amount though isn’t it. |

| I think each household needs a PC, provided by the government, Elon Musk, MBS, or some other such entity. But not like the thing in Dr Who where they are used to vote, that was going too far. I am posting this from an iPad but it would have been faster on a PC, and better for my back. A comfortable,... |

The slew of items being needlessly being produced worldwide are as much of a problem for the environment as our enduring landscaping of the planet. There is obvious... |

| At one time the United States led the free world. Now they chase at the heels of Navalny, and Khan. The United Kingdom has not even placed itself in the running here. Will Berlusconi be disqualified? His pile turned out to be made of glass. Topsy-Turvy. |

| I seem to be a total s**tposter but don’t like twitter because of the format. If everyone ups and leaves twitter now that it is in control of someone not willing to let it be a bottomless pit of money for those invested in it then they should be neuralinked to investigate their politics. Fascinating. |

That does seem similar to what I posted.
If general relativity was belief in God, and quantum mechanics atheism, would more people believe in GR because it is easier to explain.
And how can I infer something useful from that. |
