  • I’d love to get the chance to talk to Isaac Asimov and talk to him about the future and how he decided to start releasing his stories. Probably around 1972 because I liked bicentennial man a lot.

    Other than that:

    • go back to see socialist radical anti-authoritarian Jesus do his real protesting instead of the biblical king washed stories.
    • or go back to the fall of Amen to see the end and beginning of monotheism of the modern day and understand the actual departure of the worker force
    • see if I can find the actual great flood that all the myths seem to talk about and see if the conspiracy of it being about the Mediterranean basin is true. So probably Mesopotamia time and hope it’s recent enough memory to hear actual stories.

  • This idea that this was the last election for the Democrats too was a losing argument.

    Thinking that the vote going the way you wanted would have just turned over a perfect world is lazy and unrealistic.

    Trump would not be a fading memory and is a direct symptom of the “keep going with the status quo” ignoring the issues policies we have had.

    A different performer would have taken his place and we would have to do it all again for people like you to pretend it would all be perfection as soon as we got the right centrist in to make everyone forget about their and the worlds issues.

    People complaining about the issues they face aren’t making them suddenly exist. People shutting up about your flaws don’t make them stop existing either. It just makes you even more ignorant to them.










  • So, as someone that was homeless 3 times already and went from that to doing ok for myself enough to at least have some vacation and self autonomy.

    Find something that only you, can do.

    That was the advice that worked for me. Don’t try for the specific jobs that make money or even make you happy doing it but something that you knew if people thought about it, they think of your name to get it done.

    It’s stressful and a shitty life sometimes but I know people rely on me. And it’s ok to take time to figure it out and make bold decisions to get there. Stuff you wouldn’t expect to do can be a great starting place.

    I couldn’t afford my existence in America ( got bullied out of my STEM field because it made other stressed people feel better) so I looked for jobs that would pay for it for me. That’s how I discovered the circus and cruise lines. Food and lodging and people trying to get by. From there I found something they needed fixed and learned how to do it.

    You need to be willing to change. And probably willing to go your own path in a way that will mean a life different than you ever knew. Nothing that worked for anyone else will absolutely work for you, we are all too individual and different.

    But that’s why you can do something. Maybe you can work with leather and make aprons that no one else can. Maybe you can operate a remote station alone better than others cause you like the quiet. Maybe you can land planes in Boise Idaho cause you don’t mind living there and like planes. Maybe you can run a cult of personality where people think you are their mother God…

    I dunno it’s worked for others but it’s up to find what you can do and how far from the norm you are willing to go.

    Normal is a myth of America anyways. Go do you.





  • Oh sure. And I left but the group I worked with is national and as they brag the largest entry point for new candidates and they weren’t the state.

    Florida just ends up an easy excuse to ignore that it’s millions of people experiencing situations closer to mine.

    It’s not like Florida was a swing state or anything with a huge population and economy.


  • I understand all that but instead of starting with ways to start naturally and get your name out there it was directly to money. No, conversation on anything else. Just a dollar threshold for us to hit or get out of their hair.

    This was with the “run for something” group while in Florida. But there was definitely people from other states and they were all equally disturbed at the immediate grilling for us to fund ourselves and to be in a major religion.

    I do get that it seems ass backwards and incompatible with how a person would actually run for a local position and it’s why a lot of people have become disenfranchised by the whole system and party.
