And apparently thr fundees really like blue eyes…

Youre absolutely right. I would like to add in the “reddit” model. Why things make it to the front page is kind of the same comment. Two people could post the same thing at the same time. One goes viral and to the front page where millions will see it, one might get 10 views. One comment on a post, when funny, right in the before that post takes off, can get 30k likes. Its all timing and being the one that gets initially off the ground. Ive always wondered though, how easy would it be for reddit to pick the winners and losers? Bot accounts and fake upvotes, even just a little bit in the beginning, could put it on “trending” and get it to the front page and the “algorithm” could put it in everyone’s feed. Are you seeing what naturally won or what they wanted you to see? Did facebook naturally win or was it what they wanted to win?..

And then a website about proving the existence of sea monsters…

This is amazing, it took me to a US battleship website and then enrons website

Ive loved radio garden for a few years now. Its so fun to just click a random city in the world and just listen to whatever they are doing. I remember randomly listening to a music station from some island above scotland for an entire day and came out of it with like 10 bands i had never heard of before that are now a part of my rotation.

Did you know, the government of any country can do this for any service? Government sponsered amazon anyone?

There is something to be said about institutions though. When more people are part of what seems to be an upstanding institution, the more they are inclined to protect the secret in order to protect the institution and its reputation. There are a lot of examples of this. For instance the catholic church, penn state, the trump oligarchy, nasa…

This is absolutely right. Money to them isnt a tool for comfort and happiness, its simply a byproduct of power and exploitation of that power. These people dont want to be able to go into a bar and buy anything they want, they want to go into the bar and buy the whole thing and the street its on. Youre the consumer just wanting enough grass to munch on, they are the predator plotting behind you.

Its worse than that. The whole car usually runs through that computer, so when it goes out the whole car goes out and is expensive to replace.

My constant obscure monty python quotes arent landing, eh?

That is what they are shutting down. It was just a way to try to advertise stuff.

“Seriously, Bill, is that all necessary?”
