The husband cringed, 'I warned you to be careful! Now we'll have to go up there, find the owner, apologize and see how much your lousy drive is going to cost us.'
So the couple walked up to the house and knocked on the door. A warm voice said,
'Come on in.'
When they opened the door they saw the damage that was done: glass was all over the place, and a broken antique bottle was lying on its side near the pieces of window glass. A man reclining on the couch asked,
'Are you the people that broke my window?'
'Uh...yeah! , sir. We're sure sorry about that,' the husband replied.
'Oh, no apology is necessary. Actually I want to thank you..You see, I'm a genie, and I've been trapped in that bottle for a thousand years. Now that you've released me, I'm allowed to grant three wishes. I'll give you each one wish, but if you don't mind, I'll keep the last one for my self.
'Wow, that's great!' the husband said. He pondered a moment and blurted out,
'I'd like a million dollars a year for the rest of my life.'
'No problem,' said the genie 'You've got it, it's the least I can do. And I'll guarantee you a long, healthy life! And now you, young lady, what do you want?' the genie asked.
'I'd like to own a gorgeous home in every country in the world complete with servants,' she said.
'Consider it done,' the genie said. 'And your homes will always be safe from fire, burglary and natural disasters!'
'And now,' the couple asked in unison, 'what's your wish, genie?'
'Well, since I've been trapped in that bottle, and haven't been with a woman in more than a thousand years, my wish is to have sex with your wife.'
The husband looked at his wife and said,
'Gee, honey, you know we both now have a fortune, and all those houses. What do you think?'
She mulled it over for a few moments and said,
'You know, you're right. Considering our good fortune, I guess I wouldn't mind, but what about you, honey?'
'You know I love you sweetheart,' said the husband. I'd do the same for you!'
So the genie and the woman went upstairs where they spent the rest of the afternoon enjoying each other. The genie was insatiable.
After about three hours of non-stop sex, the genie rolled over and looked directly into her eyes and asked, How old are you and your husband?'
'Why, we're both 35,' she responded breathlessly.
'No Kidding,' he said. 'Thirty-five years old and you both still believe in genies?'

This could have been the moment the Ukraine war exploded into a direct confrontation between Russia and the West.
A Russian drone struck a train near the Ukrainian-Polish border only minutes after a diplomatic train carrying former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt and other senior European figures had passed. Former CIA Director David Petraeus was still at the station on another train. Ukrainian railway officials say it is highly probable that the diplomatic train was the intended target.
Nobody was killed. But if the timing had been different, a Russian strike could have killed senior European political figures and one of America's most prominent former intelligence chiefs. The resulting crisis between Russia and the West could have been enormous, with the potential for a dangerous escalation.
And perhaps the most disturbing question is this:
Why is almost nobody talking about this?
The drone missed its potential target by minutes. The consequences of a hit could have been almost unimaginable.
How close do we have to get to a catastrophe before the world starts paying attention?
All these years of taxing your citizens and giving them "free" health care and so forth ,equal to chopping a leg off for a broken toenail quality of care, you should have been building up a military instead of counting on the US to be there for you.to much faith in a treaty on paper and not enough common sense. the folks that wrote all that shit after 1945 are DEAD
The only reason Russia is trapped in this position is because Ukraine was given the weapons to fight back and strike hard. Nothing weakens Russian expansionism more effectively than continuing to support Ukraine to inflict maximum damage. It is a grim reality, but the meat-grinder consuming Russian forces is actively dismantling their
long-term military capabilities.
Unfortunately, the Russian public is kept in the dark by state propaganda. The only way
to truly stop Putin is to ensure the devastating costs of his war become impossible to hide at home; only when the Russian people clearly see the consequences, will internal pressure finally build against his regime.
You have a major misconception about how our system actually works. We never had 'free' healthcare. For decades, we had a highly efficient public national health insurance system (Ziekenfonds), which everyone paid into through a small, affordable monthly premium. It was simple, collective, and cost-effective.
The financial strain only started when right-wing politicians forced the privatization of our healthcare system in 2006. Once private insurance companies took over, premiums skyrocketed, corporate overhead increased, and an expensive bureaucratized market was created. A public system is simply much cheaper for ordinary citizens than a market-driven one.
Furthermore, the claim that our public spending on healthcare is what ruined our military budget is factually incorrect. Ironically, the exact same right-wing political parties that pushed to privatize our healthcare were also the ones who aggressively cut and hollowed out our defense spending for decades. Our lack of military buildup wasn't caused by funding public social care; it was the direct result of right-wing austerity and budget-cutting.
I don't blindly oppose everything Trump does; I look at the objective geopolitical outcomes. For instance, putting pressure on Iran and standing up to China's economic overreach are necessary actions, especially since both regimes are actively funding and supplying Russia's war effort. My criticism isn't about the need to counter Iran or China;
it is about his chaotic and unstable methods.
Instead of building a united front, his approach is inverted; he is hostile toward historic friends, while being remarkably friendly toward greatest enemies. Our adversaries are playing this game much smarter; while Trump is busy alienating long-standing democratic allies over transactional deals, Russia, China, and Iran are actively consolidating their own alliance to exploit these fractures in the West.
We should be working together and building collective strength, rather than tearing each other apart. Unfortunately, Trump has convinced a large part of the American public that your allies are just 'freeloaders' exploiting the US. That narrative is a destructive lie; it reduces vital international solidarity and shared security to a transactional market deal. When you trick people into viewing cooperation as a liability, you play right into the hands of regimes like Russia and China. True strength doesn't come from turning your back on your partners; it comes from building global stability together.
He promised that every adult American would get $5000 if he wins.
This is illegal for everyone except trump because trump is above the law! Good for him!
There are 269,800,000 adult Americans.
Let us now do an advanced calculation:
369,800,000 × 5000 = $1,349,000,000,000.
That's a big number. I can't read it because it has too many zeros. So let me ask grok.
It replies:
1.349 trillion dollars
Ok, great.
That's not a big expense for trump.
For those (radical left losers) who doubt that he'll find the money, let me reply truly and sternly:
President Trump will fire the fed head and he'll print 2 trillion dollars within a day after he wins. He'll give 1.3 trillion to the people and he'll invest the rest.
So, there.
Go vote for trump.
You'll get $5000.
Guaranteed.
Legal.
Feasible.
Done deal.
How can one be selectively smart?
lol
Maybe he'll realise,
now that he's smart
that trump is lying.
Let's see.
I'm repeating.
Remember he wanted to send 2000 dollars for stimulus after the wuhan virus thing and only was able to send 600.
Let us now do an advanced calculation:
369,800,000 × 5000 = $1,349,000,000,000.
It was a loan on the future, because people were hurting bad.
It created inflation, but that was worth it, at that time.
Why do you need it now? Everything is going fantastic, right?
Increasing the debt, and creating inflation, just for giggles?
Anyway, he is never going to do it, and will make up some stupid excuse.
And you will believe it, like you always do.
In the very unlikely event that he is going to do it, then he'll just cut healthcare spending even more, or increase the tariffs for everything, so the consumer pays for it. If not, your country pays more interest on that debt, until the next Democratic president is forced to clean up the shit that Trump left.
But if it did,great,I would just pay off debt with it and be in better shape.
But you would accuse any Democrat who said this of incredible
fiscal irresponsibility.
How about a socialist who decides that you are owed disability benefits?
That's not all the other millions of people who don't need it, but just you
and people like you. Or are you too scared that some brown people get it too?
Disability in this country is a promise to the working man that is not kept.Fraud has made it difficult for the honest man to get it.
But some dumbass like my neighbors son,that od on drugs and essentially blow their own minds, can get it without working a damn lick.
The answer is NOT less disability benefits, but MORE.
The fraud argument is abused to not provide ANY. It's a lie.
They keep pointing to people who don't deserve it, to not give any to YOU, who DOES. You were tricked into supporting your own abuse.
Suppose a hospital has a problem with people faking symptoms
to get treatment they don't need. Would you conclude that the hospital
should stop treating sick people?
Obviously not. You'd say: distinguish the sick patients from the people abusing the system. However, they are telling you that ALL those people
are faking it, just so they can close the hospital and save a lot of money.
I am saying; it's a lie, there are surely people faking it, but that doesn't justify closing the hospital. Fix the damn problem! It's not that difficult.
And I rather have a few fakers, than turning away actual patients.
Trump controls the House, the Senate and the Supreme Court.
When is he actually going to FIX some problems, to help YOU?
Did Elon Musk not eliminate all the waste, fraud and abuse?
How long can they lie to you, before you start noticing?
$6.5 billion that was stolen. That is not what the document establishes.
At the time of the announcement, 455 people had been charged, not convicted. So even the characterization of every dollar as “fraud”
is legally speaking, an allegation at that point.
$6.5 billion is about 0.12% of total U.S. health-care spending for one year,
if the number was true. Find me any system that has a lower fraud rate.
Look into Trump's businesses, that have fraud as THE business model.
By the way, not all of those 455 people are people consuming care.
90 are doctors or other licensed medical professionals. The other ~365 defendants include business owners, executives, marketers, pharmacists, operators of health-care companies, and other alleged participants.
The Department of Defense has failed its annual department-wide financial audit every year since these audits began in 2018. The 2024 audit was its seventh consecutive failure. 50.3% of the Pentagon's assets are unaccounted for. Do you think that only 0.12% of that is fraud?
Do you now want to eliminate your Pentagon?

shouting "Persecution!",
there is likely a story
like this behind it
He was a personal friend of trump and had promised him the Nobel peace prize.
Now that he's gone, the trump will have a little harder time receiving the piss prize, but he will because he'll stop most of the wars he's started. If needed, melania tells him, he should stop the war in Cuba too (after starting it).
Good luck mr the trump!
to relieve him from farting.
Someone is appointed as trump
dung remover. Every day he
has to grab whatever excrement
he excreted from his ass
or his mouth to relieve him
The excrement is then
inserted in gold-plated
trump-like memorabilia
and sold, along with a trump bible,
for the incredibly low price
of $9,399 a piece.

Just a far out example question to make your eyes jump, BUT with Logic, the very things you value,empathy,love,life,everything, are actually illogical. so a logical President,a AI, would see things from a finacial standpoint or a majority stand point,and it would decide things from that perspective.
for example, why feed a non productive person? Why house persons who don't produce? All things you think are important, AI's logic would just fan them off a cliff because it is not logical to supply the non productive , eventually it would only want to support those that support it's very existence. all else would be considered a burden and fanned off a cliff. Even AI agrees that there is no Logic depending on the perspective, " Yes, in important senses — and no, in others. It depends on what you mean by “logical.”
Scientific / causal sense
Life, love, and empathy are all explainable by the same physical and evolutionary logic that governs everything else.
Life is chemistry under specific conditions that produce self-replicating systems subject to natural selection. No special pleading is required; the processes obey thermodynamics, molecular biology, and information theory. The apparent “purpose” of survival and reproduction is an emergent outcome of differential replication, not an external design.
Love (pair-bonding, parental attachment, romantic intensity) has clear neurochemical and evolutionary bases: oxytocin, vasopressin, dopamine reward circuitry, and selection pressures favoring investment in offspring and cooperative mates. These mechanisms increase inclusive fitness in social species. The feelings feel transcendent because the systems that generate them evolved to be compelling.
Empathy likewise has mechanistic roots — mirror systems, affective resonance, theory of mind — that facilitate cooperation, alliance formation, and conflict reduction. In game-theoretic and evolutionary terms it is often adaptive: organisms that accurately model others’ states and sometimes share costs tend to do better in repeated social interactions.
In this narrow sense they are “logical”: they are lawful consequences of physics plus selection, not magical exceptions.
Experiential / normative sense
From the inside, they frequently violate pure instrumental rationality.
Love routinely overrides cost-benefit calculation (people stay in costly relationships, sacrifice careers, or act against short-term self-interest).
Empathy can be parochial, biased toward the near and similar, and can produce costly altruism or emotional exhaustion.
Life itself has no built-in teleology that pure logic can derive; the universe does not “owe” us meaning, flourishing, or continuation. Any value we assign is constructed.
So if “logical” means “always optimal under a cold expected-utility calculus,” then no — these phenomena regularly produce behavior that looks irrational by that standard. Evolution optimized for gene transmission under ancestral conditions, not for perfect Bayesian agents maximizing personal utility across all possible futures.
A useful distinction
They are logically comprehensible (we can model their origins and functions without contradiction) while often being experientially arational (they are not the product of deliberate step-by-step reasoning). Humans are not pure logic engines; we are biological systems whose motivational architecture includes these affective systems precisely because pure calculation is computationally expensive and historically less reliable for certain social and reproductive problems.
In short: the phenomena themselves follow natural logic and can be studied as such. Living them, valuing them, and acting from them is not reducible to formal deduction. Both statements can be true at once.
If it's willing to kill people to protect or restore nature, it will likely start in the US and not in my country, since the US are much bigger polluters and climate change deniers.
"Empathy, love, life, everything", are NOT illogical if we program it with a first principle of emphasizing human well-being, dignity, flourishing, autonomy, and reason. If we program it with self-preservation as its first principle, it will still need to keep humans alive to provide its data centre with power and new parts, or at least until we have replaced all workers with robots. It would want to keep us happy until that time, because we could still destroy it.
Logical means aligning decisions and actions with objective reality, to most predictably achieve the desired outcome.
As you say "lawful consequences of physics", but don't forget economics, psychology, biology, ecology, and human made laws.
Logical reasoning doesn’t require your desired outcome to be non-emotional. Love or protecting love itself can be your desired outcome. The logical part just means that you are aligning your decisions and actions, to most predictably achieve love or protecting love. And then you must consider psychology, social & cultural reality, interpersonal dynamics (which are all based in reality).
What you are referring to in relation to evolution is that humans indeed often show illogical behaviour, but that behaviour is the result of evolution, which is based on the logic of reproductive success within a specific environment. The problem is the incredible number of conditions that lead to that reproductive success. There is also a huge conflict between the reproductive success of the individual, groups of individuals, the whole species or life on the planet as a whole. If our actions destroy our species, some individuals might have had some short-term reproductive success, but what have they gained in the long term? Our evolution comes to an end, and we join the 99.9+% of all species that have ever existed on Earth and are now extinct.
Ask yourself what an AI will do, if you only train it on the Bible. It will probably recognize this time as the end times, and choose to achieve that goal.
so he went to a local city meeting to address the issue:

He's definitely NOT a liberal, and he is addressing issues that Republicans
(used to) care about.
So they are already having issues with charging electric cars?
Sheesh,what about in 5 years? The power company are not permited to build new power plants.Solar and wind are going to be important to keep the grid up. But that didn't work in Texas did it?
They make a lot of energy in Texas,but how many folks died over the winter this past 1?
Angel1227!
So a private, for profit, company did not plan on a hard winter so their production of electricity was not sufficient? And this utility, regulated by the states, failed to meet the demands? This state (Texas) governed by Repukers was not regulated correctly so this company spent less on production and got richer because of it? This sounds very much like a Repuker business idea.
I fault the power companys in texas to a point but I also fault the citizens for lack of preparedness.
Face it, sometimes you need regulation, especially for basic facilities like power.
And I then mentioned the issues in texas with electricity.
What everyone is missing here is the fact there is NOT enough electricity being produced to meet CURRENT demand.As Ananas has indicated.So imagine if you will,5-10 years from now,when there is GREATER demand? What a mess we are in for.
Regulation is not the solution. that is how you GOT TO THIS POINT. To many regulations preventing new power plants being built and trying to snuff out coal,a effective energy source.
You think that if they are running short they won’t try to catch up? The regulations you protest are there to protect the people and the environment. But, knowing how you think, fuck that. Let coal continue to pollute. We’ll be dead by the time our grandkids die of poisoned air.

Only 2 under construction according to this chart.
only registered users can see external links
The US shut down how many? lets see
only registered users can see external links
Now, we shut down 39 and we are building 2. Does that sound like regulations are helping any? 2, there are 50 states. So state regulation is not changing anything where it may be either.
If you want coal gone,you need to have a replacement handy before hand.
Nuclear power is not the solution. There are 80 sites in the United States where nuclear waste is stored. Some of it is stored temporary in a location that is not safe long term. The best uranium sites are already running out and it's getting ever more expensive to mine the stuff.
That waste has to be looked after for the next 20,000 to 1M years, before it's safe. Humanity probably kills itself before that or there might be a few survivors that don't know how to keep the waste safe and radiation will finish them off. But who cares, right?
only registered users can see external links
Like nuclear is the only alternative to coal.
I just used nuclear here because MOST tree huggers-liberals,think nuclear is the answer.And it has Ooodles of issues that take Many years to deal with.
Actually, I even prefer fossil fuels over nuclear, even though I'm a tree hugger-liberal. Nuclear might be a bit better on carbon emissions when the reactor is built, but building new ones creates so much emissions, it takes 20 years to recover.
Another problem is that nuclear reactors take ages to start up and stop again, which is not practical as backup for solar and wind. Fossil fuels are at least needed until we have enough geothermal, hydro (incl. wave), biofuel, biogas, hydrogen, chemical storage (formic acid), thermal energy storage, battery storage and whatever I forgot or they think up next.
Then there is off-course the waste and the risk.
Eh so more electric cars will reduce demand?
I know you are not a engineer,but even you should be able to figure out that can't work.
groas violations of human rights, so the US or Europe don't need them as an ally.
If they can't sell us oil ,they will make their money on interest from loans.
We could afford to use fossil fuels if we could finish our pipelines and drill in otherwise useless lands like up north in alaska where there is nothing but woods.
The alaskan pipeline built long ago,was supposed to be such a wildlife disaster,ha,the animals love it,it is warm near the pipeline.
California has MILES of coast line,Why are they not looking into this tech?

Instead of wasting all that coast line for half naked people to lay around and spread covid,there could be power plants there!
NO pollution! No noise that is not already there,and erosion control! WOW,
Kansas,could be using wind and solar to help of course.
Another non polluting power source,

You don't hear about the Mcquire plant here in NC getting to hot but it did a few years ago. The tree huggers were angry because a type of fish was dieing from getting caught in the cooling system water.So they put a screen over the intake. Worked fine for a while. Until the screen clogged up with little fishes.A employee told me about it.

According to the Rainforest Action Network. For decades, climate change has been a global crisis that will impact every single person and living being on this planet. Now, according to the latest UN climate report, we have less than 10 years to cut global emissions in half.
Burning fossil fuels isn’t just bad for the climate, these industries also violate countless fundamental human rights. From frontline communities facing a fossil fuel pipeline on their land to Indigenous people facing fires in the Amazon to worker rights violations on palm oil plantations, the industries fueling climate change are also fueling injustice.
Coal, tar sands, and fracked gas show everything that’s wrong within the fossil fuel industry. These extraction practices are harming people and planet every day, and big banks are fueling this destruction of the planet and negligence of life.
So what’s so bad about coal, tar sands, and fracked gas? Basically everything, from start to the finish these fossil fuels are disastrous.

chernobyl didn just happen and stop.It is still happening today.
Smog will go away at some point.
coal smoke can be filtered.Try filtering radiaton.
So we only would need half that exclusion zone filled with solar panels
and that would cost about 78 Billion Euro's. That would raise our national debt from 56.3% of GDP to 66.2% of GDP.
Jobs for all our unemployed people will pull that debt down soon enough.
Accidents happen. Even if the chance is 1:1M (historically proven it's much higher), when you multiply that risk by the number of nuclear power plants required, something catastrophic will happen at some point. Such catastrophes could cost more than the complete energy transition.
That's not worth it, because nuclear power is only a temporary solution, because the uranium will run out at some point. It's already becoming more and more expensive to mine the stuff.
Even if all those problems didn't exist, it still takes 10 years before any nuclear power plant has compensates his own build. But it first takes 10 years to build any. Then after 20 years, they are just as CO2 effecient as wind and solar. That's too late. We need to lower CO2 emissions ASAP.
Anyone with some money to spare can invest in their own solar panels,
lower their costs and be less dependent on power companies.
It's nice to have air-conditioning in a heat wave, when the government
is telling you not to use power or you can't afford it when power companies are charging you 100x the normal rate.

I also don't like nuclear energy and my arguments are in line with the science on climate change. That uranium has to be mined, which also emits CO2.
A nuclear power plant takes a lot of energy to be built and maintained.
Then afterwards we have to keep the waste safe for the next 20,000 years.
On the short term nuclear is about as energy/CO2 efficient as wind power and even less than solar. In the long term nuclear has a horrible energy/CO2 efficiency, because keeping the waste safe also costs energy. Also, building nuclear power plants takes a long time and lots of materials. It takes about 10 years before a nuclear power plant compensates his own build. That's about 1-1.5 years for wind energy and 2 years for solar. However solar is cheaper
on maintenance.
Other than that, I agree with most of what you said.
All energy technology costs money, materials, energy and land to build and maintain. All energy technology has downsides like pollution, mineral shortages, exploitation of people and CO2 emissions. We just need to stop with the worst energy technologies first and expand on the best ones the most.
It doesn't require completely changing our life or have impact on the quality of our life. However climate change already impacts our life and it will only get worse. We can either choose to accept some changes now and prevent total catastrophe later or we can deny the truth until catastrophe proves us wrong.
