I agree, the text forum is currently in a very bad state compared to 20 years ago.

It is depressing knowing the golden window of the internet was so short. Saidit is an attempt to keep that window open just a bit longer.

But I also think there was a golden age for each new communcation technology. There was a golden age of the printing press, before propaganda books became common and overtook the early printed book market in the 1600-1700s. There was also a golden age of radio, golden age of tv (back when they actually showed vietnam on TV), golden age of internet.... there have been many communication golden ages, and I'm sure humanity will see one again soon. Maybe not in my lifetime, but it will likely come, given the historical pattern. So all is not lost. It comes in waves, and we just happened to ride a crest to a trough as we experienced the internet the last few decades. There will be other crests to climb in the future, we just have to be patient.

I think it's already gone for the most part. Most people don't seem to realize it, and don't remember what we used to have, and how important it is.

I remember the days before most people had mobile phones, and I would get online to chat with random people, and met tons of great people and had a lot of fun talking about random things, even if we didn't have all the same opinions about life/politics.

That was during the time it was considered proper to only use aliases, and keep personal info off online interactions like chat rooms. All of those people have now vanished, and with the death of so many IM platforms like MSN, AIM, Yahoo, Skype, many IRC networks, etc., may never find them again. Part of me wants to, but another part of me wants to remember them positively, and not risk learning they are completely different people decades later, and ruin the image I have.

The whole situation is depressing. The golden era of the Internet went by in the blip of an eye, all within a single generation. I feel lucky to have experienced it, but equally more painful to know, and see it swept away while the world seems unconscious of it all.

The PCR.

Here's the reuters "fact check" article that attempts to dispute it but actually verifies everything I said: https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSKBN2442HH/

However, it was President John Magufuli of Tanzania who dismissed coronavirus test kits used in his country as faulty on May 3, 2020 (here), because he said they had returned positive results on samples taken from a goat and a pawpaw. Magufuli has been in office since 2015 and on June 16, 2020, dissolved parliament ahead of elections in October, in which he will seek re-election (here , here ).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Magufuli

President John Magufuli of Tanzania Died 17 March 2021 (aged 61)

So he died 10 months after he made the big media fuss about it.

It would be hard to impose absolutism on yourself with respect to the Internet. Especially how it's being ingrained into everything more and more.

My thoughts would be to bend those guidelines a little bit to limiting the days, or sites you typically visit that haven't offered any good value.

magnora7 · 2024-04-26T18:57:26+00:00

Agreed. As the shills and AI bots become more common, they simultaneously drive away real people, which just concentrates the awful even more.

Right now I think video is where it's at on the internet, that's not easy to fake at the moment compared to text. So that's a good way to get information from real people instead of spam/shills/ads etc. But that will probably only be true for another 5-10 years until video faking tech gets really good and is common and cheap. So enjoy the last bit of the real internet while we still have it, I say

Technically nothing is anonymous already. Things can already be traced back if you have high-enough level access to the internet backbones and the VPN companies. If the most powerful people in the world want to trace a signal back to a computer, they can.

The OP would lower the barrier to access for that information so that more companies and governments can do it, instead of a few fed agencies having a monopoly on that information. Which is probably not going to be great. I can imagine in the future perhaps large numbers of people may abandon the internet as it gets more corrupted and dangerous to use

Also the maximum growth rate of the world's population occurred in 1965, amazingly. The rate of exponential growth has been slowing ever since. We're probably on an S curve that will flatten out toward the end of our lives, and we'll see a relatively stable world population for the first time in world history potentially. That will cause huge changes in world culture.

Potatoes; Not the answer you wanted:

Protein quality: Potatoes have a low protein content (1–1.5% of fresh weight), but the quality of potato protein is very good. The biological value of potato protein is between 90 and 100, which is higher than that of soybeans (84) and legumes (73).

Legumes contain high amounts of lectins. Peanuts are legumes.

Digestive Issues: Active legume lectins can bind to the cells lining the digestive tract, potentially disrupting the breakdown and absorption of nutrients. This interference with normal digestive processes may result in bloating, gas, stomach upset, and diarrhea.
Mineral Absorption Interference: Legume lectins have been found to interfere with the absorption of essential minerals such as calcium, iron, phosphorus, and zinc. This interference can prevent the body from effectively utilizing these important nutrients.
Autoimmune Response: Prolonged exposure to lectins that bind to cells for extended periods may trigger an autoimmune response in some individuals. This immune system reaction could potentially contribute to inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and type 1 diabetes.
Malnutrition Risk: In cases where legume lectins hinder the absorption of vital nutrients like minerals or disrupt normal digestion, there is a risk of malnutrition over time if these effects are not addressed or compensated for through dietary adjustments.
Gastrointestinal Discomfort: Consumption of high levels of active legume lectins, especially from raw or undercooked legumes, can cause gastrointestinal discomfort such as nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.
Inflammatory Conditions: While not conclusively proven in scientific studies yet, some theories suggest that lectins may play a role in promoting inflammation within the body, potentially contributing to chronic inflammatory conditions.

Germany didn't attack England

England attacked Germany.

Germany counterattacked England.

And England attacked Germany
supposedly 'in defence of Poland',
or, actually, in order to continue propping up
some infamous 'Piłsudski's colonels' hunta regime,
which no-one seems to mention somehow.

Now, once Germany (and most of Europe) were destroyed by WWII,
the Polish people were promptly delivered to Stalin,
the main 'good guy' of WWII, and,
incidentally, the worst mass murderer of the 20th century,
you know the one that did e.g. this:

The Katyn massacre was a series of mass executions of nearly 22,000 Polish military officers and intelligentsia prisoners of war carried out by the Soviet Union, specifically the NKVD ("People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs", the Soviet secret police) in April and May 1940. Though the killings also occurred in the Kalinin and Kharkiv prisons and elsewhere, the massacre is named after the Katyn forest, where some of the mass graves were first discovered by German Nazi forces. The order to execute captive members of the Polish officer corps was secretly issued by the Soviet Politburo led by Joseph Stalin.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katyn_massacre

WWII ended up costing ~80 million lives ...
in order to give Poland to Stalin.

I do still enjoy the 1984 version for its style choices and I love me some Lynch body horror, but the Weirding Module stuff was kinda silly. The TV Dune was great because it really aligned with the book, but the production values were so corny. I'm interested to see how Villeneuve handles Messiah. That is a tougher sell and I hope they don't just keep Chani alive so we see more Zendaya over telling that story.

Agreed. Disappointing they felt the need to add that stuff just to give her more screen time.

This one seems legit but I am not familiar with the goings-on here.
