Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

re AI is poised to destroy and replace search as Google defined it more than 20 years ago.

related:Google's Culture of Fear

A very good read that explains what has happened to Google. It sounds very much like what has happened to Disney.

"gender medicine... It will go down as one of the worst medical scandals in history."

I a few years you will see hundreds of TV ads by law firms to sue the various hospitals and doctors involved in this. However, the actual damage done by this foolish escapade into appeasing mental illness is 1000 times less than the damage by the covid vaccine.

The less biased reports are that Gaza is awash in food. The problem is that Hamas and thugs are taking the food and even beating and shooting the common people who come to get the food handout. Ironically but unsurprisingly a recent incident where mobs of Gazans attacked a UN convoy of food trucks some 100 civilians were killed, trampled, run over and some shot, but Hamas blamed the IDF and the biased MSM reported it as fact. Gaza's problem is Hamas.

There were photos of Hamas fighters who had surrendered to the IDF, without their shirts. There were quite a few obese Hamas people.

re These US cities will pay you up to $15K to relocate there

My little burg offers a lot to build on plus incentives equaling about 25k, I think.

Of course there is a feed lot literally right next to town which makes the town smell like cow manure fairly often. When it rains or is damp it can be particularly bad, even by my standards, and I am more tolerant than most people of the odor.

Nebraska . . . It's not for everyone.

When we were originally looking for a farm or large acreage the first thing we would do is look for an aerial photograph of the area that would show, quarries, pig farms and cattle farms. Some wonderful houses were in our no go zone.

$1400 a pop for a course in advanced brainwashing. Learning to color between the lines that THEY designate. Must be getting grants from the Biden BBB education department.

Have you seen this about the NY AG? Looks like she is engaged in some shenanigans.

Both the polar bear and the threat to world order links are pretty much the same. To quote Wally in Dilbert - a "plague o'er the earth" unless you hire me.

I even agree that both are at least partly true. There is warming and it's likely people caused some of it - I just don't see the catastrophe part. At most - AT MOST - some localised serious problems with flooding, but nothing existential for the species. And Trump is indeed a loose cannon who may wreck as much as he builds. It's just that his competition is all wrecking, no building.

Negative voting is what I have done since the 80's. It's fine. It's not the death of the republic.

Hi there AVI, Re Climate change: Believers of Evolution should welcome climate change because it is one of the factors that drive evolution -- survival of the fittest. To control climate change is to deny species their chance to evolve. How Gauche.

AI Censorship Targets People Who Read Primary Sources To Fact-Check The News

Because you are only supposed to see The Narrative.

QUOTE:
“In my dream world,” censorship technician Scott Hale told NSF grantmakers, people like him would use aggregate data of the speech censored on social media to develop “automated detection” algorithms that immediately censor banned speech online, without any further human involvement.

. . . “Misinformation” that NSF-funded AI scrubs from the internet includes “undermining trust in mainstream media,” the House report says. It also works to censor election and vaccine information the government doesn’t like.

The polar bears aren’t dying. The coral reefs aren’t dying. We don’t hear anything about the destruction of the rainforests anymore. They’ve banned plastic bags in more and more places. Replaced by paper bags. Paper bags! What? I’m old enough to remember when we switched to plastic because the forests were being wiped out because of demand for paper. So many doom and gloom predictions that have never come to pass. No matter. More and more scientists are pushing back against the cult of global warming. What’s a religious fanatic to do?

Unlike Hadrian, Trump did not build a wall and I wouldn't place a bet on him doing it if he gets elected again. And that's a big if.

Don't blame me, I didn't have any choices in my party's primary by the time election day was here.
