The Anti-Woke Wave: A Growing Force in Politics
OneMoreFarang replied to Social Media's topic in Political Soapbox
A big part of the rest of the world never had those stupid woke ideas. The US is slowly going back to adjust to the rest of the world. -
"Climate Change" is causing the LA fires...or is it?
OneMoreFarang replied to connda's topic in Off the beaten track
The predictions for the future are based on climate models. And those models are far away from accurate. We can agree that humans contributed to climate change. But what difference will it make in 100 years? What inventions will we have within the next 100 years and beyond? Nobody knows! Over 100 years horse manure, see picture, was the biggest crisis in NYC. And then someone invented the automobile, and that crisis was gone. I wonder how many people predicted that dramatic change at that time. -

Scientists measure and calculate. Activists take bits of what scientists say and then then shout a lot and pretend they know it all. -

Has Elon Musk become an existential threat to humanity?
OneMoreFarang replied to RSD1's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
In modern times, money means worldwide influence. Who knew Mansa Musa at the other end of the world at that time? Probably nobody. Is there any place on earth where people don't know Elon Musk? Maybe some grandparents who never used the internet. See how much influence Musk has with X. Would Trump have been elected if Musk would not have bought Twitter? Obviously, I don't know the answer, but for sure this made a difference, probably a decisive difference. Recently there was news that Musk might buy the American TikTok. Some people laugh about TikTok and Facebook and Insta and all that. And in a way I think it is laughable. What is not laughable or should not be ignored is how many people get their news from these platforms. Many! And everybody who controls the news controls a lot in the internet age. Add to that upcoming AI and other technologies and that gives Musk more influence and power than anybody else on earth. And it will likely get worse. -

Has Elon Musk become an existential threat to humanity?

I saw an interview with him (I don't remember from how long ago) that his intention is free speech, to allow all speech which is legal and only delete what is illegal. In a way I understand this. Twitter was as some stage very much left. And as Musk said, from that perspective any change is a change to the right. The bigger problem with him, with X and with people like Trump is that too many people listen to them and think they are the smart guys, and they must all know the truth and tell us the truth. Musk owning X and writing constantly whatever enters his mind would be no problem if not millions of people would read it like the gospel. Elon Musk said it, so it must be true. Really? If I would want to know something about electric cars, then I would listen what he has to say, and I would also listen to other specialists. If I want to know about UK grooming gangs, then certainly I would not rely on Musk or whatever Nigel Farange or Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon told him. And with many other subjects it the same. It's like Hollywood stars talking about politics. Just shut up about things which you don't know anything about. -
Has Elon Musk become an existential threat to humanity?
OneMoreFarang replied to RSD1's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Really? I have a Twitter account, I didn't use it for years. Does this make me mentally weak? Public people, like Sam Harris, Elon Musk and many more, seem to use X to shout at each other and about each other - often without facts. Is that good? Is that healthy? Or is it maybe a good idea to stay away from something like that? -
Has Elon Musk become an existential threat to humanity?
OneMoreFarang replied to RSD1's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
He has the money to change the world, and change it significantly, in many ways. That is very scary. Maybe he will develop Skynet and convince Trump to switch it on to save us all. We can't rule out anything like that. -

OneMoreFarang replied to RSD1's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
We can't predict the future. One big problem is that as far as I know no private person was ever as rich as Musk. How can we or anybody else guess what is on that guy's mind. I read somewhere that if 1 meter would be 1 dollar then he would have enough money for the distance to Mars and back. That is soooooooo much money that nobody can really understand it. So, what will Musk do? What is on his mind? There is nobody who we can ask who might know. -
But it is all about history, and not just recent history. Some people pretend the war started in October 2023. That is simply wrong. I don't know a good solution for the people who live there. Probably there is no good solution. Too many mistakes were made in the past. What I find sad is that some people look only at the recent year(s) and ignore the history. That is just stupid.

Trump wants to be seen as the deal-maker. Do the details of any deal really matter? Who looks at the details? And additionally, what if Israel would not follow what they agreed to? Any sanctions from the USA? Of course not. So, what does it really matter what they sign? Israel will continue to do whatever they want, and the USA will let them do whatever they want.

Trump’s Inauguration: A Gathering of Global Far-Right Leaders

Unfortunately, Trump is the biggest public idiot available. And people voted for that guy, two times! Just in case another idiot will be elected in a first world country by the people, then maybe I will divide my attention. -
Thai Man Attacks Swiss with Cue Over Alleged Pool Cheat

"12. LEGAL SHOT. Defined. On all shots except on the break and when the table is open, the shooter must hit one of his group of balls first and 1, pocket a numbered ball, or 2, cause the cue ball or any numbered ball to contact a rail" Official BCA 8 Ball Rules — Billiards.com, Inc https://www.billiards.com/blogs/articles/official-bca-8-ball-rules Most casual players don't know that rule and/or ignore that rule. And I guess in girly bars that doesn't really matter.
