  1. US propaganda on North Korea Ballistic Missile Explodes On Launch Fourth Straight Time · · Score: 0

    This is a serious problem. The entire discussion in this article is circular auto-gratification. Why exactly is it in your interest to make fun of North Korea?
    How exactly do you know North Korea exists to destroy everything you know and love? Why exactly is it so easy for you to be convinced of such things?

    To be blunt: how exactly is it that you are so stupid to believe anything other the fact that North Korea gets a bad image in our media solely because the US lost a war to it and the interests of some astronomically wealthy businessmen suffered? How are you so stupid that you accept this opinion that has been slid into you mind exploiting the weakness of you wanting to fit in?

    "OH YEAHHHHHH A NORTH KOREA STORY NOW I CAN REALLY SHOW THAT I FIT IN AND MAKE SOME GOOD JOKES AT NORTH KOREA'S EXPENSE AHAHHAHA TIME TO GET SWEET MOD POINTS FOR GOING WITH THE FLOW"

    This is not a kindly little old service that helps you find things that are important to you.

    This is an extremely malicious program to shape your point of view by enticing you with items that are scientifically proven to stimulate you and then associating those items with other items that promote an agenda that is against your interests.

    This is literally some faceless entity telling you to your face that it has the power to decide what you like and that you will agree.
    What is to stop them from inserting suggestive material into your feed? How can you account for the affect such things would have on your point of view?
    Self awareness and thoughtless stimulation cannot exist together. Guess which one helps you get what you want and need out of life in the long run?

    Not that this specific change in this specific service is particularly important, but it is a clear sign of what role the internet plays in most peoples' lives.

    Your literal romanticisation of the present circumstances is really just fantasy. Really, be a little embarrassed. Most of what you say is true, but the last part is not excusable. It's just false.

    There is no political competition. There is no democracy. What the voters' opinions on policy does not directly influence policy. Their opinions are used solely to work around their objections without addressing them if at all possible.

    lard is perfectly healthy

    what is not healthy is combining it with a significant proportion of calories from carbohydrates
    and also consuming unnatural forms of lard such as produced by animals fed naturally-bizarre combinations of nutrients (read: grain)

    the sets of hormones related to the metabolizing lipids and carbohydrates in large amounts are completely at odds.

  21. war on us through the microbiome on US Death Rate Rises, Health Officials Aren't Sure Why (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

    It seems like a crisis with antibiotics was planned. It's a problem with "side-effects" of hygiene as much as bacterial evolution, and our immune systems are kept weak not only from "hygenic" practices but from the lack of exercise resulting from unnecessary antibiotic use.
    Perhaps the antibiotic resistant crisis was engineered to ease the pressure on society of having so much surplus "labor resources".

    "Hygiene" was originally necessary to keep up economic efficiency in cities where different ethnic groups were co-mingling by keeping them from infecting each other with each others' germs and to stop them from getting at each others' throats for smelling differently.
    The solution was simply to burn the flora off the skin completely (with lye soap, chlorine, et c.), which eventually results in extinctions in the digestive tract, respiratory system, and the rest of the body.
    Simply put, there is supposed to be a circular relationship between all of your natural flora that is completely disrupted by "hygiene". Yes. The flora from your feces is supposed to spread on your skin and into your mouth and nose and eyes and ears. Not only your own, but that of the people around you.
    The only time this becomes a problem is when people get too crowded and the system of flora gets overwhelmed with too many variants. Especially when many different people with quite different populations of flora from different lands and ways of life meet up.

    This has all been well-understood for a long time; for some aspects even since ancient times. Absolutely none of this is mysterious to any ranking health official.
    The implications of all of this seem quite predictable. People will get sick. Not just once in a while, but chronically. This will become more and more pervasive as generations go on and more and more species of flora are extincted.
    Meanwhile we are given antibiotics.

    Evil is hiding in the "muddled" issues. More often than not some one knows exactly the truth of the matter and is using it to control everyone who doesn't know. This is the nature of our form of civilization. Probably about time to put an end to it, or accept your extinction.

  23. Genocide on US Death Rate Rises, Health Officials Aren't Sure Why (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The people, especially whites, are being punished for the failed social doctrine to which they have been subject. They are too hard to please; they need more resources to do work than immigrants from the third world. They expect a quality of life that "they don't deserve" according to our leaders and people who don't have any real problems in their lives in general ("they're not me so fuck them" syndrome).

    The situation boils down to the simple fact that we have incompetent leaders that are incapable of mobilizing our human resources because they live in a bubble and can't relate to anything they don't have first-hand experience in, which is not much. They are used to having people do all of that for them, but their social doctrine has seen that all of those people have disappeared.
    They've milked the cow too dry: the worst aspect is that the world wars damaged the population severely by disrupting the traditional transference of knowledge, habit, and experience; too many kids grew up without fathers and the media failed to pick up the pieces.

    If throwing money at the problem by making an exaggerated effort to solve it with whatever devices happen to be lying around doesn't work immediately, as was the case with the media, our leaders find the problem to be impossibly difficult to solve. The quality of true innovation has escaped them from generation after generation of soft living; they completely rely on others that they can entice with wealth to do everything for them. They have inherited a system that they very barely can keep track of and have completely forgotten how it was made. They have lost the characteristics that allowed their ancestors to make it to begin with.

    If they can't solve the puzzle, then, like the spoiled rotten idiot children they are, they start attacking it. See: the recent "recession". It is simply the rich robbing everyone who isn't working in the industries with the most growth. Squeezing people dry until there's nothing left to shed but their very lives. This ensures that people are living day-to-day and cannot organize to do something to help themselves (against their leaders' interests), like enact a revolution (like the German Third Reich).

    Exactly correct.

    Disclosure cannot be instantaneous and automatic. It must be the result of the acting will of a person for each and every case. The only way to prove that it was an act of the person's will is for a pause in which the person can choose to act in such a way as to prevent the disclosure.

    The argument that a person could stop what they are doing and turn off their phone at any given point is not relevant.

    The telephone company is, by the implication of the contract with the customer, party to the customer.

    This is a perversion of law and a worse offense to justice.

    Take this opportunity to realize that by passivity the general population has given up the very objectivity of their perception and thereby the god-given rights of they themselves and everyone else. The judicial system is a rabid dog that is sicced on anyone competing against the interests of the dominant economic entities.
