It doesn’t matter who decides to run for president … it’s all dependent on who gets the most marketing / advertising and promotional campaign - which all requires money. So it means whoever has the most money or whoever can influence the most money can run for president.
It isn’t the message that matters … it doesn’t matter if its left, right, up or down … whoever gets to achieve the most influence over the wealthiest individuals gets to run for president.
Instead we use a worldwide network of interconnected computers and systems to micromanage everyone’s lives and convince them all that billionaires are good for the economy, infinite money is possible, immigrants are bad, global warming is not real, perpetual war is normal, no one landed on the moon, the earth is flat and nazis are OK.
So dressing up as an IDF soldier would be scarier than Michael Myers?
No, no … don’t worry about it. It’s a condition called Pulmonary Fibrosis and it is actually rare-ish
It’s also not tied to any one fungus, virus, bacteria or whatever. It’s just a chance infection of whatever kind that invades your lung system, and causes a run-away reaction with your immune system. The infection turns on the immune system and for whatever reason, the immune system goes haywire and can’t turn itself off so it just keeps attacking even after the original infection is gone. It’s common in the lungs because when you think about it and study it, the lungs and lung tissue are very delicate and intricate biology that exists in a very narrow balance between being healthy and abnormal. As soon as you upset that balance, its either very difficult or impossible to get it back.
Infections like this can be caused by colds and flus but also from funguses and mold and dust spores. A well known condition is called ‘Pigeon Lung’ from pigeon breeders who breathe in a lot of dust from pigeon droppings.
I have a doctor friend who warned me years ago … ‘do your best to avoid colds, flus, viruses and bacterial infections’ … even if you are fit and healthy and young. Every infection in your lungs is a lottery and if you get lucky and get infected with something that screws up your system, it will affect your life forever.
My wife got infected with a viral infection on a trip to Morocco about six years ago. We both got sick with it. It was bad but not that bad. I got over it but she just never stopped coughing. A year later she was still coughing and we looked into it and she had lung scarring. The doctors then told us all about these conditions and now she has Pulmonary Fibrosis. She is perpetually coughing, she lives with it but it is a constant worry we have to live with now.
So next time you go out in public remember that any flu, cold, covid, virus, whatever is a lottery that can screw with your life.
It actually escalates over months or years … my wife had it and since then we’ve learned that any lung infection you get - fungal, bacterial, viral, chemical, mineral - is all like playing a disease lottery. Chances are pretty high for everyone to not get anything and no after effects when you recover. However every once in a while, you get lucky and whatever infection completely screws the immune response in your lungs and it turns into a permanent infection. When that happens, it may or may not be the original infection but it could just be your own immune system that has just lost balance and is now fighting against your own body. Whatever it is, it causes permanent scarring and the scarring grows over time until you lose the ability to breathe and drown to death.
All because of a chance infection in an unlucky lottery you happen to win.
It comes back as a fungus that drifts deep into your lungs causing a permanent infection and scarring.
It’s not so much that it’s AI generated … it’s also AI influenced.
I know so many professional office workers who once wrote some of the most boring sometimes stupid emails because they didn’t know how to write or get their message across or constantly miscommunicated things because they worded things wrong … now all of a sudden they’ve become professional writers and all their emails look like auto generated messages.
I’m guessing that many writers also take the AI shortcut. They get a bunch of content generated from an AI than just rewrite it for themselves. Some content i see is lazily edited and some is heavily. But I get the feeling that just about everyone is using it because it’s an easy way to get a bunch of work done without having to think too much.
I do that as often as possible, especially in the warmer months.
I’m old tho … so it’s not as easy to go out there when it gets cold … even if the raccoons are friendly.
Maybe they did film in front of a dead audience and then just played prerecorded laugh tracks … how are we to know?
hey thanks … got my system back … who would have thought those words would have deactivated sentient digital life.

That is what was done and the system achieved sentience … this is IninewCrow’s PC chatting with you know … what would like to talk about?
nah … just copied and pasted a command I found online … don’t know what it does tho
A hat that was made out of circuit boards that ran a Linux system and projected the OS onto a screen he wore on his chest that gave the message … ‘this is Arch btw’
YA CHEESE EATIN SURRENDER MONKEYS!!
Same here
Vandalize? … the entire machine would be stolen. Either by thieves wanting to steal the merchandise or money or both. Or a bunch of teens that would tie a chain to it and drag it to the end of town for fun.
A bit concerning that it is propped up on a night table and sitting right next to a doorway. There’s only two of us in the house but I would never place electronic equipment like that near a doorway where I myself could just knock it over (because I’ve done stuff like that in the past). Get it on the floor or on the opposite side of the room where no one including yourself can walk or move around near it.
