There are some robots that post information from news articles on here I follow them

@DoubleD

If someone built a robot that boosted every comment that was text but no pictures 24 hours later after it was posted then that might increase the percent of visible posts that are discussions

@DoubleD

I just block out robots that post pictures and follow all the people that post any text that is something other than pictures that look like they are actually talking about something instead of just posting pictures at least one time

Talked about at this link

It disappears after loading with web dot archive dot org so I took a full screenshot then opened the picture and took a partial screenshot of some of the section of that screenshot

As the tax rate increases more and more people will want to quit working because they can not produce enough to support themself after tax and the tax will go to support someone else

But technology can improve how much each person produces so that in spite of the increased wealth loss through taxes they still produce enough to support themself

This might result in eternal torture of male tax payers by the welfare system that gets worse and worse every year with no revolt to end the torture

"27 Then he said to them, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘Each man strap a sword to his side. Go back and forth through the camp from one end to the other, each killing his brother and friend and neighbor.’” 28 The Levites did as Moses commanded, and that day about three thousand of the people died."

The mainstream media would call Moses anti-semitic if he said that today

@bobbala @givenup

And he took the calf the people had made and burned it in the fire; then he ground it to powder, scattered it on the water and made the Israelites drink it.

Is the decline in quality of fill in the blank related to an increase in the number of Indian employees with no filter mechanism to remove the low quality ones which did not happen before when some Indian employees were selected but only the best among them

Has this also resulted in an increase in the amount of low brow toilet humor in modern media on account of the low quality Indians are obsessed with poop

The story is that a lot of people would spend so much of their time staying still meditating that people developed exercises to prevent health problems from the meditation

Sitting prolonged in lotus is better for the health than sitting for prolonged time in regular sitting in what is called easy pose

@Justicar

I do not know about the claim involving oxygen but a lot of so called ancient Indian and Chinese medicine

1 is not good medicine

2 when it is good medicine a lot of the time they take something western and pretend it was a ancient Asian secret

3 Sometimes the ancient people understood proper medicine but some person does not understand what they originally meant because they used a lot of metaphors before more precise language was developed by western scientists
