You are quite a cliff in our times full of "influencers" of all possible kinds. How do you manage? Doesn't it feel lonely at times? Or is there a club for intractable minds? I'd like to become a member :)
I am aware of female profiles without pictures, but I am not interested in them, hence, the exclusion.
Gentlemen without picture, do your really look like the phantom image: a square singular chin, a reliable neck, a head full of hair?
Or do you fancy a number of chins and a scull like a billiard ball? In that case, the phantom is too flattering, the absence of the real photo is misleading and, actually, is a sign of a cowardly soul.
So what GULAG survivors are your personal favourite coaches in terms of keeping information hygiene? Shalamov? Razgon? Zhzhenov? Lihachev? Someone else?
But that takes time, quite a lot, doesn't it? And then you have to sift through all that long "scientific" words and then, as a reward, it turns out to be inconclusive. Isn't it simpler to go after a catchy slogan one finds on Facebook, especially if it's written in large letters?
We live under a constant shelling by different data about everything. It started shily, first with newspapers, continued with radio and then television. Though, you needed to be literate or own a radio or TV. But eventually, the information flow gained its strength and now it’s constant, persistent, powerful, omnipresent current. Impossible to avoid, so we are to manage it somehow.
Is it important for you to keep yourself “informationally clean”? How do you know what’s true? How do you separate wheat from chaff?
Could be. Any reference? And while you are at it, it still would be nice to get a proof of "It’s a fact that over 90% of lifelong smokers never get lung cancer" please.
You don't need to wonder. You can accuse them in EU court.
By the way, did you see an article in the Guardian a few months ago there they tell about investigation into anti-Covid vaccine compagne? They traced its origin to Kreml'. So you can sue the Guardian too. Your chance to become rich and famous :)
I've read the article from my own perspective: some years ago, I've been a target for a vile gossip. If it ever happened to you, then you know how it affect all aspects of your life, including your health. If it never happened to you, then it's not possible to explain. And yes, I'd like to be able to demand proof from those "free-speechers".
There's no freedom without responsibility. Did you read the article? Here's another quote:
"...the victims' relatives, who testified that they were threatened and harassed for years by people who believed the lies told on Alex Jones' show. Strangers showed up at their homes to record them. People hurled abusive comments on social media. Mark Barden testified that conspiracy theorists urinated on the grave of his 7-year-old son, Daniel, and threatened to dig up the coffin..."
“Jurors ordered conspiracy theorist Alex Jones on Wednesday, October 13, to pay $965 million to Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims' relatives and an FBI agent, who said he turned their loss and trauma into years of torment by promoting the lie that the rampage was a hoax. The nearly $1 billion verdict is the second big judgment against the Infowars host for spreading the myth that the massacre never happened and that the grieving families seen in news coverage were actors hired as part of a plot to take away people's guns.”
They mention many types of cancer including lung cancer, COPD and heart disease. All those health issues tend to decrease your life span, which is good for the planet.
For those, who'd like to quite, I'd recommend this site:
I think, it's possible to live without a mobile phone, but why? You'd need to get access to functions, that are gathered in one device, from many different sources.
- Telephone function can be replaced by land-line, but you are going from mobile to house-bound.
- Text and mail can be replaced by physical letters. Never mind, if it will take days and weeks, enjoy the retro charm.
- Music can be replaced by vinyl records or, if you want to be totally independent, you can sing and play some musical instrument yourself. As well as dance, if you want to replace Youtube.
- There are dictionaries in book form, you can always have a couple of those with you.
- You can see the weather forecast in the window. It'll be as today, why wouldn't it. Wet your finger and keep it up to tell the direction of wind and North is on the mossy side of a tree.
I'm sure, there is a lot of other solutions and replacements and it looks like that I'd manage. But again: what's the point?
There were some achievements and some failures. I's in love and I've been loved. I've learned a lot and still have a drive to learn some more. I like my job and can afford my hobbies. And the best thing: I'm not tired of it yet :)
"The meme "Karl" has spread on the Internet: a rare post does without a phrase like "Today we ate porridge for breakfast. Porridge, Karl!" Fans of the series know where it came from, and for the rest, "MK" recalls the origin of the joke and explains what the humor is. "
Humor, Karl!
" "The home of the meme should be considered the series "The Walking Dead" " and so on...
Just to clarify: your day-to-day living went into the toilet on the 24th of February of 2022.
Good news, though: Serbians and Bulgarians wouldn't be hit so hard, as they lived at very low standards before. The higher you are, the longer the fall and they have no high to fall from :)
It's not mý solution. No one asked my improvement to start this war.
It's my analysis of the outcome. If you don't like mine, you can make your own.
The only given outcome of this war - this military Putin's aggression on Ukraine - is that nothing will be the same afterwards. Whatever "afterwards" will be.
Cut down your demands, reduce your appetites, introduce yourselves to the concept of family planning. In general - learn to spend according to your income. In terms of energy spending as well as any other.
Western Europe made herself dependent on Russian hydrocarbons, while there are other types of energy. Especially the renewable ones, like wind or solar.
A question to men without picture
