Balancing on the knife’s edge is always a dangerous act.

Share your thoughts, be cordial, question politely, answer in kind.

You just gave me a headache.

Please explain the thought process that led to such a wondering.

People would have to kneel, in order to do so. It’s about humiliation and asserting dominance, in weak mentalities.

I’m running the same desktop for nearky 14 years and I have two laptops that are over 8. Still daily use.

What is that?

Don’t have one. Can’t.

It’s a necrocracy. I’m going to risk the dead also vote, by representation.

100%

Full support for the leader. Dissention is not an option.

88%

The resemblance of a democracy is still to uphold. Very lightly. But…

50.9%

This is democracy and maths call the victor!

Do I have to add it?

That would make the dollar plummet and instantly end the furious import market, with no need for tariffs. With a devalued currency, it would make the country appealing to install industry back, even if low value at first, to soak up the throngs of unemployed.

And the current administration would wave away ratings and anything relating to international entitities and gladly default on their creditors, to pull everyone down.

These guys are mad but their madness has a method.

The US is on the verge of collapse, in my view. Make use of your 2nd. Everyone is tired of hearing about it.

I agree. It is possible to train the sense of smell. And it should be actively trained.

Ever got the “are you part dog or something”? Always makes me laugh.

Smell is undervalued in humans. I could smells if my partner was about to have her period before she started using contraception.

I don’t consider any part of my personality as a super power, although I am aware I have a few oddities on me.

• Smells play a very big part of my reality.

I can “smell” a shift in air humidity. This led to me learning I can cook by my nose, as I can smell the very onset of burning or low content of salt or spices.

Anyone else can smell crickets?

• it was always easier to maintain a memory if I translate it into an image.

I gave differents colours in my mind to the days of the week, I color coded my emotions in order to know how things are inside my head and I have a colour bar to range my dialogue intensity to other.

• noticing something is “wrong” around or out of place always seemed easy, be it because there is a sound too much or missing or something is somewhere it doesn’t belong or missing

I always thought these were normal things, growing up. Just like having a narrator voice in my head (this one comes really handy when reading a book; all character have a voice and the narrator has another).

The US system baffles me.

No way an unelected individual would take office in my country.

If the president dies, the national assembly president assumes the role, internally, and is mandated, by force of law, to schedule elections to within 90 days.

The only time an unelected person was nominated for a government role in this country ended terribly, with the president disbanding the national assembly and scheduling elections in less than 30 days after the apointment and the appointment had been aproved by the national assembly.

I foresee a cave-in.

I sometimes float the idea in my brain to learn how to code. If I ever come to it, I want to debate and discuss my work with another human. Not a machine.

Personal preference.

I won’t hold my breath on it.

Up until this minute, AI has produced plentiful examples of how it can produce anything but good code.

I’d rather have a developer writing software, slowly, because they have an intelectual itch and want to try and see the outcome of their idea than the proverbial army of monkeys furiously typing away.

I’m in a nearly twenty years long relationship and I am not married nor do I intend to.

Mind if I ask where are you from?

Many words were used, yet nothing was said.

If a nation is signatary of the ICC and does not enforce its mandates, that nation is a rogue nation and its politians need to be presented to the ICC.

Amazing how a simple request can be ill-interpreted.
