How the hell do they know that in 2050 the number of 60year old will be greater than the number of 5yr old, when those 5years old will be born in 2045 by a vast majority of parents NOT YET EVEN BORN TODAY !!!!
There's an entire branch of applied mathematics, known as actuarial statistics, that literally does nothing but figure these things all day long. And since corporations pay them a ton of money to do these projections, they've gotten pretty good at them. As in, amazingly good.
I had a cop pull me over for doing 60 in a 30MHP zone on my bike going downhill (many years ago, when I was still physically able to ride a bike!)
The fastest Tour de France riders, going downhill in the Alps will hit maybe 65mph, so you probably should have challenged the cop's radar gun, because I doubt you were going 60.
He was pretty fucking toughed when he bombed Syria twice. That's something Obama could never muster the resolve to do.
He bombed Syria after warning them to move their planes. The only damage was to an airfield that was fixed within days. Do you really not remember how it happened?
Yeah. Let's blame it on Trump and forget all about Bill Clinton who started this catastrophic avalanche by granting Communist China Most Favored Nation status
You can blame whomever you want. I'm just telling you why all these countries are taking advantage of the US right now..
You remember those "tough sanctions" that Trump was going to put on Iran? He even released a meme, using the Game of Thrones font, with a picture of himself looking "tough" (apparently, "tough" is one of his favorite words), and the meme said, "Sanctions are Coming". Oh boy. Well, it turns out that those sanctions included a long list of waivers for Iran's biggest trading partners (China, India, South Korea, Japan, Italy, Greece, Taiwan and Turkey) so their basically not sanctions at all. That's why the oil market's been surprised by the fact that the price of oil has only gone down, which is exactly the opposite of what you'd expect to happen if Iran was being blocked from selling oil.
I dare you to name one country that Trump has been "tough" with (besides the United States). He's basically been the whole world's punching bag since he's been elected.
The Chinese (as well as several other countries) feel emboldened to do this because we currently have historically weak leadership who will do fuck-all about it as long as there may be a chance of someday building a casino in Shanghai or the ability to borrow money from a Chinese bank or sell his daughter's tchotchkes and handbags and shit.
This isn't Jeopardy. What are you trying to say? Have there been transgender people demanding that you "play along"? Give us examples of this happening to you. Use your words.
Maybe it's partly due to individualism reaching such retarded proportions that we've reached "i want to play dress up and you must play along, else you're a bigot"
Have there been transgender people demanding that you "play along"? Please elaborate.
"Inscribed pottery shards from the Middle Kingdom of Egypt (2000–1800 BCE), found near ancient Thebes (now Luxor, Egypt), list three human genders: tai (male), st ("sekhet") and hmt (female).
"In ancient Assyria, there were homosexual and transgender cult prostitutes, who took part in public processions, singing, dancing, wearing costumes, sometimes wearing women's clothes and carrying female symbols, even at times performing the act of giving birth.[9]
In ancient India, Hijra are a caste of third-gender, or transgender group who live a feminine role. Hijra may be born male or intersex, and some may have been born female.[10] Hijras have a recorded history in the Indian subcontinent from antiquity onwards as suggested by the Kama Sutra period.
In Persia, poets such as Sa'di, Hafiz, and Jami wrote poems replete with homoerotic allusions, including sex with transgender young women or males enacting transgender roles exemplified by the köçeks and the bacchás, and Sufi spiritual practices."
. I think they're just trying to point out that things are simpler when there are 2 sexes, regarding laws and organizing things in general. In the same way that things are simpler when there are no wars.
1) Did you know that there were more than 2 genders as long as 4000 years ago? Middle Egyptian actually has words to describe them and in the 18th Egyptian dynasty, the pharaoh Hatshepsut was transgender? So, my question is when were there only "2 sexes"?
First we have to develop a communications medium that can't be censored or blocked in any way.
You already have that. It's called "speech", as in, "open your mouth and say what you want". Or, if the cat has your tongue, you can write it down on a sheet of paper and pass it along.
Can you give an example of something you wish to say but are being "censored or blocked" from saying?
And then you come back and in 1000 years you have world wars, 72 genders and sexual orientations
I'm curious, what is it about multiple "genders and sexual orientations" that you find to be comparable to world wars? Is it that they confuse you, or is there some way that someone else's preferences or gender harms you? Is it a religious thing where you believe homosexuality or transexuality is causing God's wrath upon mankind?
It means "yow! it must hurt to see yourself in the mirror!"
Wait, but why would it hurt? I have a rather pleasing face. I see it through my wife and daughter's eyes. When I look in the mirror, I basically just see my Dad, who passed back in the early 2000s. So it's the opposite of hurting. It makes me feel a connection to him across time. .
This is true. They could have promoted the site better. With luck, someone will buy it and do a better job. I remember it being a lot of chiptune and 8-bit music, but over time it's gotten to be a really nice little collection.
Jamendo is a commercial site with a really shitty mobile app. They're not doing what the Free Music Archive is doing. They're just making a small amount of music free to act as promotion for their commercial licensing service.
You coulda parted with a couple of bucks to keep this excellent project going. I have a ton of friends who have put music on that site and I've contributed some too.
You expect everything for free and this is why we can't have nice things.
Here for example, check out these nice young men from the Northwest who play deep deep funk and have given music to the site for free.
So you're able to get off of work an hour earlier in the winter?
What is this "work" you speak of? I own my own business and on the few days I actually work, I knock off at lunch. I didn't move to this beautiful place so I could sit in some cubicle somewhere.
And how's that going to work for you in mid winter, when sunset is at about 4:30 PM PDT? You can't get extra use from sunshine that isn't there, you know.
Easy, I just start surfing an hour earlier. I mean, why is this so hard that we have to change clocks twice a year?
I don't expect to be able to legislate the analemma, but we can least stop with the fall ahead nonsense. It's a waste of time and energy and nobody likes it.
The proposition that Californians (like me!) just voted to does not make any Daylight Savings Time year-round. All it does is give the state legislature power to address the issue of Daylight Savings Time.
Now, it may well end up being that we pick one or the other or maybe just leave it, or it might be that nothing is changed. My preference would be to just keep DST all year round, because it would give me an extra hour in the afternoon to hang out at the beach and maybe surf. For example, today sunset is a 5:03pm, and we're still over a month out from the Winter Solstice. If I want to hit the pier at first daylight to fish for surfperch (which are fucking delicious) or halibut, now I have to get up at like 5am to make coffee and get rolling.
By the way, to show how enlightened we are here in Cali, you don't need any kind of license to fish off the piers or the rocks if you're not commercial. Shit, back in Texas, any time you wanted to do anything in nature you had to fork over money to the state government. They were always up your ass. Here, it's more chill, as long as you're not trying to fuck shit up for other people.

Can you give an example of this "average city, with average traffic, population and all that"?

The Chinese will run circles around this dope.
Being able to say something is not the same as having a mass media platform to say something. The first is guaranteed, the second is not.
You seem to be purposely misunderstanding my question. Here it is again:
Can you give an example of something you wish to say but are being "censored or blocked" from saying?
Are you saying that you wish to say, "the holocaust never happened" but are being "censored and blocked" from saying it?
This isn't Jeopardy. What are you trying to say? Have there been transgender people demanding that you "play along"? Give us examples of this happening to you. Use your words.
Have there been transgender people demanding that you "play along"? Please elaborate.
You still haven't answered my main question:
Can you give an example of something you wish to say but are being "censored or blocked" from saying?
I would think by now you guys would know better than to challenge me.

I honestly want to know.
