"Though Politics May Divide Us
...Business Will Unite Us"

from Sherlock Holmes - A Game Of Shadows (2011) at 1.08.00

Nature as the priority. Earth first... etc
Especially since we live in it!
Drive slow if you must drive!

Any economic system that is against human nature is against individuals... 

Any economic system that is against human nature is against individuals...

Book here: silvio-gesell.de/the-natural-e

Silvio Gesell based his economic thought on the self-interest of individuals, which he saw as a "natural" and healthy motive, in satisfying their needs and being productive. Gesell believed that an economic system must do justice to individual proclivities; otherwise the system would fail.

He believed that this stance put him in opposition to Marxism, which, Gesell considered, proposed an economic system that was against human nature.

Capitalism is the perfect answer for mankind's own misunderstandings, fallacies and misconceptions.

NOT just the tricks Capitalism sold us on top. We are pretty weak and some of us not even learning now, even going backwards.

The Internet is still a big gap between people,

ESPECIALLY those not understanding time is needed to know and accept most people are good and need interaction.

(So even if I or you could even help them, they would be too cautious, over-paranoid etc.. and feed their own "but I don't know you" vicious circle and frustrate themselves at your advances of anything.

People wanting jobs also just don't have a chance getting past their own barriers...

UNFAIR ALGORITHMS (IN GAMES AND REAL LIFE!) 

UNFAIR ALGORITHMS
(IN GAMES AND REAL LIFE!)

- PART 1

Oh the realisation having played all these unfair games and I DON'T MEAN HARD, I MEAN PROPORTIONATELY CHEATING ACCORDING TO MY WINNING!!

Sad reality. Unacceptable.
Bit like banking making debt and calling it 'money'.

Mario Kart I realise is my skill but powerups and other things proportionately not in my control... so love the game but leave it. I think overall I realised games are manipulation also!!

I remember many times I didn't do much wrong but came last or 'suddenly' taken out in a combo or even thought I saw a blatant dodge by computer players (hard to say without seeing code right?). Definitely something 🐟

(check my next post for recorded cheating by CPU!!!)

Kind of sad - I think I realised a few times but couldn't name it... so I won simply by brute-forcing my time in order to win against by chances hoping the code would 'let me win' like a gambling machine... just to win an unfair game. Eh I guess it's a game but imagine unfair carnival games that kids pay for and adults!

CARNIVAL CHEATS (REAL LIFE!)
yewtu.be/watch?v=tk_ZlWJ3qJI

yewtu.be/watch?v=iyG0p3iK3IA

People probably took this and applied it to life. Wouldn't be surprised at all - it's the 90's remember so not surprising if more modern people realised they can make things look fair and for people to try endlessly while paying too!!
airline tickets etc do same thing more you look at it or more you go to another partner site... dirty tricks, money involved not just mario coins!)
Even supermarkets can see when you buy 10 to up the price the next day...

Imagine how advanced these games were and clever to make it hard the closer to 1st place you were and effectively a way of knocking you down to replay the game! Knock down your skill with the other CPU players who are able to gang up and shoot more effective things at you, at the same time as you have less effective defensive shells...

Other games welcome - here's my list of cheaters for now:

Mario Kart
Street Fighter (computer does moves quicker like Flashkick by not charging the move at all - how cheap / underhand!)

I will make a list someday - it's more advanced than it seems in the different ways it helps itself win!

My Dream for Humanity
I see people born as a type of animal personality. I think less killing is a possible... flossible...

These animals represent my dream of not killing each other AND keeping friendship though I know for the human animal Kingdom it would have to be under good stewardship of the planet. I think it is possible oce fed enough, though what do with crocodile leaders preying on people and faking (apart from kill them like we do in real life when there is too many everywhere and they don't respect us) I'm not sure...

Politics, taxes 

@Loukas Compared to here in the, ahem, Ununited Kingdom where they pass you from pillar to post, round the houses, and maybe up and down a few hills as well for about a week, with a lot of screaming, shouting and swearing in between. #Sweden #SwedenForever

It is better to light a flamethrower than to curse the darkness.

The system can't be bargained with.
Can't be reasoned with.
And does not stop until you're dead.

Hi, this is my looking for work post. I'm based in Stockholm, Sweden, and could work remotely.

I have a Swedish teaching certification for ages 10-18 in social sciences and history. I also have a masters in communication, with focus on social media. I have 14 years as a news reporter and producer at Swedish public radio.

I also do editing, Swedish-English translation, and I've worked in libraries and as a researcher.

Because of the unemployment money I currently get, I can't work freelance.
