Cover your face with a towel and just show your eyes to sneak a peek … give a quick glance and wink

At least he’s persistent

Show them up next time and shout … “I LOVE YOU!” … bet you it will surprise them, they won’t see it coming.

Sneak a peek and tell them I said hi.

Smiling is always good, especially at the start of the day when you first get up. If you don’t see any smiles all day, at least you’ll see one in the mirror.

You can pass along my greetings … and give em a wink too ;)

At least you’re not alone in fucking up

Same here but at the same time I joke around with them, do a dance, make a face and laugh with them as we both walk towards the abyss. Getting old sucks but at least I’ll have my fun while I can.

If you’re ever interested in indigenous Canadian news then have a look at APTN News.

They have a lot of Canadian stuff and even some American but all of it is from an indigenous Canadian perspective.

Whistleblowers always seem to conveniently commit suicide at the right moment.

I grew up with a family that didn’t have a lot of luxuries when I was young. We had three channels on TV, so we didn’t spend a lot of time watching TV. So I didn’t get to watch a lot of pop culture content for about the first 7 or 8 years of my life.

So one of the first memories I have as a kid is in hearing music on the radio, record player, cassette player or any sound system … I understood that it was previously recorded and performed by other people somewhere else.

What I thought was that all the sounds were generated by human voices. Guitars? Pianos? Trumpets? Brass sounds? Violins? even Drums or percussion. I thought all of it was people just making sounds with their voices.

I’m Indigenous Canadian so my parents didn’t have musical instruments, a couple of uncles played the guitar and fiddle … but by the time I was young, they no longer played these instruments and had them. I never knew or understood musical instruments really until I was about 8, 9 or ten. Up until then, I just thought all music was just people with amazing and unusual human voices.

If I’m just being asked to be born in a randomized way in a randomized location to a randomized family in randomized situations … then no

If I had a choice of where, when and what circumstances I would like to be born in? … then yes I would like those odds better and would like to be born.

Especially this time of year when people are panicking for whatever reason, people are travelling, people are coming and going, people are buying laptops, devices and phones and the majority of them don’t know how digital files or folders even work (or where they are in a digital system).

If you know anything about computers … just pretend you don’t know anything like everyone else. It will save you so much work and headaches this time of year.

And don’t get soft either … cute girl asking for help? NO … old grandma has a new laptop? NO … your dying relative has a new phone? NO! … your two year old niece has a new tablet? NO! … your drug dealer wants to lower your debt in exchange for fixing their PC? HELL NO!!!

The public’s perception of the world and reality is based on the information given and fed to them by the media that is corporately owned and controlled by a small group of people.

If I placed you in a room and I was the only person who told you what existed outside the room, I could basically describe to you whatever I wanted you to see because you would have no choice.

It’s not the public’s fault that they are gullible … it’s the fault of an entire community of professionals, politicians, academics, journalists, media owners and thousands of other people in the industry that don’t mind working and living in a world that has all it’s information funnelled through a very narrow opening owned and controlled by those with all the power and money.

I keep saying every time I talk to my friends about AI development … we’re like trailer trash 17 year old parents that just gave birth to a genius baby who will grow up to be smarter, faster and stronger than us by the time it fully matures. We’ll teach it how to hate, to be short sighted, arrogant and want to make as much money as possible while disregarding every living thing and person on the planet.

For entry level stuff, there is almost no choice for the applicant

But for something that requires talent, expertise and a specific set of skills, knowledge and education … you’re probably better off just talking to people and connecting to people the old fashion way - networking one on one.

I had a couple of maglites around the house for years. Never thought of getting batteries because they only last about two or three months sitting and then only about a few hours of actual use as lights. So they sat empty of batteries for years.

Heard of the led conversion and now my lights last forever and double as a security bat. Never thought of getting lithium batteries for them … once I do that they’ll be flashlights for life.

And to think I was just going to throw them away because I had given up on them ever being useful.
