    Ah yes, but that’s just in the U.S. Other countries will need other colors…

      They’re probably laughing their heads off. If I were a you-know-what theorist, I might think they were trying to create a little extra trauma while they’re at it–not just mental trauma, but physical too. Like putting a stick so far up your nose it risks puncturing your brain, or putting you through some other humiliating “test” for the…[Read more]

      • Yes humiliation is one of the mind cracking procedures. I know I feel it and see it with the everyone wearing masks. Still creeps me out, especially grown adults and children appearing on TV sports programs and commercials.

        I thought things had quieted down since the “election.” Certain entities retiring back to under the bridges and such. I guess it was too good to last. What color is it going to be this time? Red’s already taken, with that business back in 1917.

          My toast was burnt this morning. I think the Russians did it!

            Gotta get more Dem seats in the Senate by hook or (more likely) by crook… Why don’t they just pass a bill enabling one-party rule? They could call it the “Enabling Democracy Act.”

              Let’s hope this discourages the other vax manufacturers! Funny how they’re abandoning the vax in order to focus on developing a therapeutic drug. Maybe they figured they could make more money from a costly drug than from a vax. (Never mind that there are cheap existing treatments… That’s never stopped a drug company before.) Glad to see…[Read more]

              Nah, no worries, I don’t have a safe space (nor, in general, do I tend to warm to those who advocate them). What made me bristle was the thought that identity politics might be invading even technology and discussions of AI.

                I don’t get the current obsession with sex and gender in all things. I thought we were past seeing humans through the lens of sex, gender, sexual orientation, race, etc., and now it’s not just humans, but objects. And then when there are actual problems in real life, well, ideology comes first and reality takes a backseat. It’s nuts. I…[Read more]

                • hope I didn’t violate your safe space by bringing up the issue of ascribing a gender to an AI service. I thinking giving a machine a gender is fascinating but I understand how others may not agree. I always have liked learning what french nouns were masculine or feminine.

                    Oh, I didn’t catch that it was the same fine folks responsible for Sophia. “Grace” and “Sophia”? Completely innocent choice of names, I’m sure…

                      • Right, and supposedly there are 5 different models. “Sophia” and “Grace” are the only versions I’ve heard about, sure makes one curious about the other three.

                        “A Hong Kong-based robotics company plans to mass produce humanoid robots to replace workers across industries such as healthcare and education.” According to the company’s founder, “The world of Covid-19 is going to need more and more automation to keep people safe.” The magic malady that makes robots…[Read more]

                          • That would be Hanson Robotics, the wonderful folks who brought us Sophia. They also have a Medical/Healthcare model called “Grace” I believe…..smh.

                                    I think a lot of the insane-sounding announcements of the past year have been trial balloons–removing people from their homes to “facilities” if they’ve got CV1984, forgiving all debt in exchange for giving up all property rights, and so on. They’re trying to figure out how far they can go before they get serious pushback. I’ve been…[Read more]

                                    I’d assumed the attempts to impeach were to make it legally impossible for Trump to run for office again, but I really don’t know.

                                      • We really don’t know much at this point. Speculation abounds. We have to wait for it all to play out. I have invested in lots of popcorn.

                                        Not sure if there’s a connection, but this made me think of the “dividing of the waters above and below the firmament” mentioned in Genesis.

                                            I don’t know if this is the one you’re looking for, but it’s somewhat similar. This is part 1, which is pretty much Mikovits; there are some other people in part 2, but I don’t think RFK Jr. is in either one.

                                                  How sad… So much for the rule of law, the free press, civility, and all that quaint stuff from yesteryear. I can’t believe what we’ve seen out of Portland–it’s like a “failed state.”
