Future Timeline

I don't know if this is allowed in this topic area, but I saw this today, and it affected me. Oklahoma nonbinary teen (16 years old) was beaten to death in the bathroom by three older girls. Originally they were able to get up with help according to an anonymous friend, but when they were taken to t...

More and more, I think I was lucky to grow up in a time when social media didn't have such a stronghold. You still had the cliques and everything of course, but it wasn't about popularity contests online, for the most part. I was even sometimes five to ten years behind my peers in entertainment medi...

Hope everyone who is living outside the tropics had a good winter solstice (for the northern hemisphere) and summer solstice (for the southern hemisphere). For everyone celebrating holidays over the next few weeks, I hope you have an enjoyable time, and if there are any illnesses or recoveries, that...

Never mind, I found the answer to the questions I was asking.

After a lot of reflection, I have decided to remove my comments. They were not helpful to the current situation, and I think too dichotomous when this conflict has always been convoluted and complex in some ways. Also, I feel like I'm not the person to be commenting on this situation at all, because...

I'll tell a kind of messed up story of US medical care from when I was about ten years old. It's not fully bad, but even then there were some issues. This will unfortunately also reveal a little bit of messed up facts about my family, but anyway. I was at a birthday party, roller skating, but I didn...

I'll try predicting too. I have nothing to lose in the future since I don't expect to live another year (or rather, will be surprised if I do – unaddressed medical issues). So, the whole doom/utopia debate is meaningless to me. It definitely gives you a very different perspective in life to be at th...

I'm also thinking the massive amount of deaths could not only be from the virus itself but because they have a large population and not enough medical services when that many people get sick at once.

It's been real fun. I get the privilege of trying to go to work in a blizzard tomorrow. Lol! -10 degrees Fahrenheit pretty much all day (feeling like -40s at times due to wind chill etc., at least that's what my weather app tells me). I joke that Siberia is visiting us (and we don't have the worst o...

To add to that, I've always thought if you have a super-intelligent AI, it could potentially create its own language that not even the greatest human minds could ever figure out.
