@sun This should be obvious to most, if not all people. If there was undisputable proof of aliens, it would be common knowledge by now.
It can still be entertainment though, but hardly something which develops your mind.
@sun You must then do something interesting, read, relax, go fishing. Meditate, pray. There are many ways.
@Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @EvilSandmich @thefinn So you would say that the US got the upper hand around ww2?
@EvilSandmich @Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @thefinn This is very sad, but at the same time, natural. Industrialists and businessmen follow the path of least resistance. I started my business in eastern europe and not in western europe because the taxes were about 4x lower. This has benefitted me enormously! Sadly the east has not learned its lesson and taxes are slowly starting to creep up to western european levels. If the trend continues, I'll have to move again in a few years.
@Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @EvilSandmich @thefinn If that is the case, why did England lose the advantage? And when did it happen?

Somewhat off-topic so quote poasting, sorry.
This always brings to mind an observation from @thefinn that Americans seem unique in their interest in religious cults/fanaticism. I extended this, musing, that perhaps there is a genetic component to this since so much of our European stock left Europe due to extreme religious or political reasons (and of course the defeat of The South in the Civil War did not help). For as many times as I've posted on that it doesn't have a lot of appeal even here so perhaps I should rethink it.🤔
Anyway, it's worth remembering too that negro worship was in full swing here more than 100 years ago with BigAg pushing Mrs. Butterworth as the sales icon for food and George Washington Carver as the lawn jockey put up by Southern farmers to make peanut tariffs appealing.

@EvilSandmich @Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @thefinn Sounds reasonable to me. Add to that, that I believe an explanation of the US innovative and industrial wonder is due to genetics.
The ones who could work and innovate left europe, where kings and corruption ruled, to a country where this was not entrenched. Fast forward 150 years and it's the wealthiest country on the planet.
Sadly this advantage has been diluted quite a lot the past 50-90 years or so, I fear.
@shortstories I go with Jordan Peterson on this one. Women are always looking for someone better than them who can contribute to the relationship and take care of them when they are vulnerable during pregnancy.
By going through university, the pool of "high status" males shrinks, and therefore fertility plummets.

@thecasualcritic @jon What is the problem with it?
I press my menu button, I type "wr" (the beginning of the word write) press enter, and then I write in something which looks 99% like microsoft word before they messed up the GUI with the strange "bar".
If people think this is too much, and if people refuse because the icons are not in the exact same position as in O365, again, people will _never move_ and they show they do not care after all.
@IGVazquez @opensourceopenmind @jon @Vivaldi Chrome I cannot touch, because it is a control and domination mechanism created by Google.
No one should use it, because using it means contributing to establishing a mono-culture on the internet controlled by corporations.
While waiting for ladybird, I reluctantly use Librewolf, even though it is based on FF.

Okay, #NetBSD on main computo, attempt no 2. I was able to get 1920x1080 resolution thanks to wsfb and gop. I need to accept that fetchmail is not going to work, but I would like to ask for your help.
(1) I am looking for GPU which will work out of box and give acceleration to web browser and tetris. I am going to review bsd-hardware.info and dmesgd.nycbug.org, but if someone is aware of good card I will happily take any advise. No new cards, no big power usage, HDMI. Currently I have RX550
(2) If anyone archives e-mails on own computo, could you share what software do you use for that?

@bpl 2. I use an email provider that support smtp and imap. Then I use mbsync to archive all my email in Maildir format.
I use alpine (tui) to navigate my emails and it works great. Currently there's 100k or so emails in there, and my mail client uses a few MB of ram.
@reverend Ahh... then I understand. I imagine that music, like sport, is a profession where the largest amount of money accumulates at the top, and then the available money rapidly declines from there.

@Limdwe @secrectml Which fruit has this vibrator?
@catturd2 This is the truth. Sadly today, the media and the left are on the same team. It is extremely important to dismantle the leftist media platforms, and conversely, to strenthen the media on the right.
If not, the US will end up like sweden, which will be minority white in a generation or two.

Trump should boycott every fake news outlet that didn’t show his speech tonight.
That includes zero interviews for the remainder of his presidency, and every “journalists” kicked out of the White House press room, again, for the remainder of his presidency.
@sun With a negro playing the role of a white woman? Not a chance. And no, I'm not watching historical dramas with a negro playing the king of england, or an asian woman playing the british queen.
