Creating a two tier society is un-American.? There are lots of fully vaccinated people opposed to this.? In other parts of the world and places in the US where this is already in effect the vaccinated opposed to this are joining the unvaxxed by choosing outside dining leave the dining rooms empty.? Restaurants don't mind because they still make money that way.

A "TIC-TAC" shaped UFO has been spotted flying over Colorado and appeared to have shape-shifted! YMMV.

The question is, why would we fly a new advanced space craft during the day over a Space Force base? And, if alien, why would they be "shapshifting" over a US Space Force base in broad daylight? The US Space Force was tasked by Pres Trump to probe threats from outer space. Go figure.

According to the law of karma, everyone is a bot to one degree or another.? Humans are born with and develop volitions (sanskaras) which can be positive or negative, in the present and inherited from previous lives. Sanskaras are what drive people to perform actions (karma). The process of accrued karma will continue in a never-ending cycle of rebirth until you reach enlightened liberation. The other Barry probably wouldn't agree with this because he thinks he has freewill and so he thinks his messages and rants are because he is in control and clever in posting. YMMV.

Perhaps humans are just stupid and just react to the environment.? I know that has been used successfully in some human simulation models.

The internet died in 2016 or early 2017. It is now empty and devoid of real people - entirely sterile. Almost all of the supposedly human-produced content is fake, created using AI and secret algorithms. It is largely populated by bots aided by a group of elites that are on the payroll of various large corporations that are conspiring with government to control our thoughts and get us to buy stuff.

“Higher crime rates in Austin are a direct results of a homeless policy that lured more transients to Austin, of police budgets that were cut so more taxpayer money could be diverted to leftwing activists, and of a Soros-backed county DA that has installed a revolving door to put dangerous criminals back on Austin’s streets without prosecuting them.”

Too many streaming services.? Investors often demand that if everyone else is doing then their company must too.? There's going to be a shakeout soon.? People only want to spend so much on streaming (been figured as low as $22 a month).?

And then we have the "free with ads" streaming services trend too.? Unlike broadcast TV the trick there is fewer ads usually only around 5 minutes per hour.

Most of these companies need to book content and studios pitch to them.? Exception might be Amazon where anyone can submit a video and as long as it passes guidelines it is available on Amazon.? It's an opportunity for new filmmakers to show their first movie and in a few cases their series.

And skip the "read a book instead" refrain.? Many these days work at a computer screen often reading text.? So looking at a screen across the room can be more relaxing on the eyes than reading a book.? It's all just media anyway.

Now that's funny!
