Pics or it didn’t happen

I don’t know if people realize that even back then, he was already a billionaire. This is creating a false perception of the person, like Trump tried to do in order to appeal to poor working class that are still taught that the key to success lies in hard work and then, some more hard work.
It’s funny how people asssume that a lot of these billionaires have started from scratch and on their own, just like them, and therefore so can they. I’m not trying to knock people down, but people often get so lost in their hopes and dreams, that they also forget to be realistic. We are not exactly comparing apples to apples here, or apples from the same orchard. A humble appearance or habits does not make him just like you and me. Bill Gates may also appear simple in his appearance like the rest of us, but in practical ways, he also might as well be coming from another planet.

On marsupial reproduction
youtube.com/watch?v=EkKT6H2SMHU
It’s quite a remarkable adaptation of marsupials (externalized fetal development), which was presumably a reaction to an unpredictable environment (such as droughts). But it also seems quite precarious to me, as well. What is the advantage of expelling an underdeveloped fetus over internalized placental development? Rodents, for example, can also gestate one fetus, while keeping a spare one (blastocyst in stasis), and have two uteri for that purpose, but in their case the development of their embryo is internal (placental). I wonder if marsupial reproduction was an adaptation to repeated miscarriages or conditions (?) that were unfavorable to sustained internal gestation, because considering all costs and benefits, internal development seems preferable. I’m thinking there was a condition present that kept terminating pregnancy (internal), and the cost of that was too high, so an externalized development was an adaptation to lower the cost of pregnancy, and that cost seems to have been passed on to the fetus. Poor little joey.

Is it just me or the politicians (especially European) are getting younger and younger?

Sebastian strikes me as controlled opposition.

Pluto in Libra.
Like George Washington, last time around.
A generation fit for heavy legislative burdens.

The millennials, Pluto in Skorponok, are the warriors. The same was of course the case back then. Washingtons warriors were Pluto in Scorpio men. As were the lads set against him.

Yes yes, the bigger the events, the more regular their patterns.

This might be an interesting topic to look at because today, we practically worship Hollywood culture (film and actors) worldwide. But throughout history, such things (acting, pretense, or mimesis, if you will) have been usually looked down upon for various reasons.

Cultural neoteny, perhaps? It appears to me that experience is no longer relevant. It’s far more important to be up-to-date with the latest trends – one of the things children are very good at. A consequence of globalization?

bump from the past. how goes it

They found a black hole, y’all. Thing’s as big as our solar system.

I’m goin’, man. Now who’s coming with me?

Thanks for a very interesting read, about a very ground-breaking event. =D>

Upon studying the Sciences, I often thought… and said, that Scientific theories and findings that hold up here wouldn’t necessarily hold up in other parts of the Universe, and black holes are proving my thinking correct… just like the thought, that not all alien species would be warlike and aggressive and want to annihilate us.

‘circle turns around - the changing voices’

what happens when a mindless, white working class redneck who on account of being brainwashed by christianity and the protestant work ethic, is perfectly satisfied with spending all his time off from being exploited at his job doing HVAC (which he thanks god for having), at Daryl’s pool hall and beer where he meets Rhonda the waitress (who likes to ride the mechanical bull while all the boys watch), starts an extramarital affair, and relieves himself from the overwhelming guilt every night by playing that stupid game with god where he kneels before his bed and says ‘yeah but i’m only human and humans sin so please forgive me’, only to do the same thing again next friday, etc., etc.? how does a lying piece of invalid, mediocre white trash with an IQ of 91 and a big 'ol ford pick-up truck with a lift-kit (that he doesn’t actually need because he never goes off road; it’s just for show) and two trump bumper stickers symmetrically placed at each side of the tailgate between the confederate flag in the middle which symbolizes a war which he knows nothing about (it’s just for show too), deal with the sheer intensity and depth of the existential guilt and shame he feels at the thought of his wife, Terry May (who he met at the ‘jesus saves’ church seven years ago), finding out and demanding a divorce? what does he do when he pulls out of Rhonda’s driveway at 3:30 a.m. and starts that long, lonesome drive home when he’ll reflect on (with as much sophistication as a redneck dimwit can muster) the great struggle he must endure to save his impious soul from the very devil himself.

easy. he puts this song on, and, transforming into a redneck poet/philosopher/tragedian, enters the reverie, looks deep, deep into the mysteries of the universe and the plight of the white man in his struggle against evil… while the rain patters against his windshield as he drives down highway whatever.
