No Stupid Questions

that we don't have freedom (in the us specifically here) there is a party that is pretty well known for it's "individualistic, and freedom centric approach"

I call bullshit though. Have you seen how much red tape surrounds everything? How much shit you have to get through in order to simply, do something. You want to build a house? Just wait until you find out about how many different possible ways that can be different. You want to run a business? Well you better believe that shits a mess also. Taxes? Simple? There are numerous variants. Federal, state, sales, property, estate, etc...

You want to do something trivial and supported by ALL of society? Even that is arguably more difficult than it should be. You can genuinely talk to people who have actual degrees in business (or at the very least, work in business) about business, and they will not be able to understand a single word you say. Because you aren't speaking the way that they speak, which is quite ironic considering how business is supposed to work.

You wanna go outside? You are probably being surveilled, and the likelihood of you ending up in the hands of law enforcement controlled AI recognition software is above 0.

Having been a linux user for 4 going on 5 years now. It's honestly kind of appalling, how much bureaucracy that everything has these days.

None of this matters. Every part of your existence is electrical impulses and chemicals reactions.

How stupid we humans are for coming up for all kinds of biases based solely on where other people were born at, more than their parents. Not only country wise, some people can get super defensive against people born 20-30km away within the same country and state.

To a lesser extent, more people should be aware of Dyogenes of Sinope, aka Dyogenes the Cynic's antics. A man that "saw through" society's bullshit and was willing to live and act according to what he preached: owning nothing, living in poverty, giving no fucks to societal norms of the time and being truly honest to everyone in their faces, behaving "like a dog", kynos, which is the root of the word cynic.

The ISS. Woke up around 4-5 am just to see it a couple of years ago. I was afraid of missing it, but then saw a fast dot on the sky. First a dot, that split into 5 and a line, after that back to a small dot before disappearing.

Seeing the human technology in space with naked eyes is beautiful.

There was helpful site on Nasa to know when to look for it, but looks like theres an app for it now. Give it a try if you like space stuff, it cost nothing, well maybe a sleepy morning.

How much damage suburbs strodes and massive footprint drive up box stores actually do. The amount of materials and ecological flattening needed so that everyone can have their own yard with a patch of shit grass. All the concrete reflecting heat into the atmosphere and causing temperature instability, the damage to the water and carbon locking systems we all need to survive because so many people can't stand being around people outside their own isolated family units or need to find a place to park their car. We need affordable city and high density village housing and flip the script on housing costs heavily incentivizing moving out of suburban areas.

We need more trains and buses but more than that we need design where our land use is treated as an actual resource that requires harm reduction policies instead of just "unused" land because "unused" land is what is keeping the planet alive and if we don't start reclaiming it we are gunna be in massive trouble.

Does anyone else hear every electronic device and feel a wave of comfort when the power goes out?
