 So, they're saying that global warming is real, right? And that it's caused by humans burning fossil fuels. Well, I don't know about you, but I'm not too worried about it. After all, the planet has been through a lot worse than this. There was that time when the dinosaurs got wiped out. And that time when the ice age came and went. And that time when the oceans boiled away. And yet, here we are. Still alive. So I'm not too worried about global warming. I mean, sure, it might get a little warmer. But it's not like we're all going to melt or anything. We'll just have to adapt. We'll move to cooler places. We'll wear less clothes. We'll drink more water. We'll figure it out. In the meantime, I'm going to enjoy the warmer weather. I'm going to go swimming more often. I'm going to plant a garden. I'm going to take more walks in the park. I'm going to enjoy the little things. Because who knows? Maybe global warming is a goo...

"So, there's this guy named Jesus, right? And he's the son of God. And he comes down to Earth to save us from our sins. And he does this by dying on the cross. And then he comes back to life. And now he's in heaven. And he's watching over us. And if we're good, we'll go to heaven when we die. And if we're bad, we'll go to hell. But here's the thing: I don't understand this. Why does God need a son? Why can't he just save us himself? And why does he need to die? Why can't he just wave his magic wand and make everything better? And then there's the whole heaven and hell thing. Why does God have to punish people who are bad? Why can't he just forgive them? And why does he have to send them to a place of eternal suffering? I don't know, man. It all seems kind of messed up to me. But hey, what do I know? I'm just a comedian. I'm not a theologian. But I will say this: I'm glad I'm not the one who has to figure t...

With the fast advance of AI and virtual world full immersion, we may predict that in the next 20 years, we will have access to glasses and contact lenses connected to neural implants.  These devices will enable us to perceive our individual realities according to our preferences.  This technological "advancement" may lead to a shift in societal norms, where individuals with appealing personalities, regardless of physical appearance, could dominate the dating and matrimonial scene.  Consequently, those who rely solely on their looks while maintaining unpleasant attitudes may find themselves less favored.  Alongside this shift, a relationship will become completely irrelevant, since each partner will project their ideal traits on the other partner, not asking them to change anything physically - the emphasis on personality over physical attractiveness will prevail.  We are reaching ' black mirror ' level of dystopia. Either for the first time in human history, the...

With the new coming of Art generated by Artificially Intelligence  may it be by craiyon, artbreeder, or midjourney  michaelhoweely2022/comparing-craiyon-dall-e-2-and-midjourney/ sure we will be flooded with badly drawn circles, weird looking face, and blurry contour but that is the AI not getting there yet, the question is beyond this current limitations What we are seeing now is a revolution in the future of creation  AI are using tons of images we posted online in the 30 past years, and there are trillions of images online... What a human can imagine really depends on his imagination, his culture, his experience, is the artist really a visionary? does this artist has a style of his own? can he really invents something completely new? While the AI can just toss millions of images instantaneously and produce 20 completely different version of what has been asked - in matter of seconds. Any artist will produce maybe 3 possible rough options in 10 minutes Maybe the best is ...

There once was this old lady who was very concerned about her missing parrot. Not knowing what to do, she called 911. "You gotta help me find my parrot!" she said The operator patiently replied, "We can't help you with that, ma'am. This number only deals with emergencies." However, the lady persisted, and then the operator told her not to be concerned, that the parrot should fly back in a few days. But then, out of desperation, the lady begged, " But you don't understand! The only thing he knows how to say is 'Here, kitty, kitty'!!! "

Mentalism is more or less a subcategory of magic and, when performed by a stage magician, may also be referred to as mental magic. A Magician will usually have great hands and moves trick (prestidigitation) while a Mentalist will use mind trick, putting ideas, using subconscious signals, or simply psychologist knowledge. Here is an example, ask a friend to play along. Explain to your partner, that you will read their mind, and guess what they think, you will need paper and a pen, that is it. There can be 3 or more questions, but let's make it simple and start with three. - what is your favorite color? - what is your favorite animal? - do you prefer going to the beach, or hiking in the mountain? Here is the trick, the two first question are very open, and may have a range of response up to 1000 of possibilities, while question 3 is just only has 2 options. Now using assumptions, and making some eye contact, holding hands. chanting, or pretending to be in a transe state, the mentali...

Why is there a +18 only banner for some content on the internet? What happens when someone turns 18, is this person suddenly getting some wisdom? Nope, I have found some 18 years old dude with zero wisdom. What should happen is that a person would gain some experience, and be able to distance himself from what he is confronted, some news, or content can be hurtful. To understand this (or to actually remember how it felt) try to put yourself back into your shoes, the day someone told you about the World War 2 concentration camp, or the day you discovered what the Catholic inquisition was doing. That is the day, you absolutely freaked out, and realized that humanity is not cuddle and hugs. There is a darkness in all of us, an awful abyss of the most gruesome horrors And being 18 or older, you are supposed to have this knowledge ; and therefor you may handle some disturbing content that might be visual or reading material, that will not keep you up at night ... Otherwise, try to make the ...

Another Youtube marketing " coup " : This time a young attractive woman called Debbie (looking very much like Jenna Fischer little sister) pretends to post a video for eHarmony (the dating site) and ... after she confesses that she loves cats, things get a little weird.. See for yourself the original video by hartmanncara : Well done : 11 millions views (and counting) - and apparently the whole purpose of that video is to sell T-shirt and possibly a career in Hollywood , why not ?! Now it's getting better because this video collides with another internet meme called " Nyan cat! " and there goes the songs : But don't be fooled, it's all fake ! Although I was  sincerely attracted to her ... I mean you know ... I too got emotional when I think about cats. Especially because they're so cute, and how their ears and whiskers ... Ah! darn youtube, it's the last time I trust you!

This video is not from yesterday mind you, but it still haunts me because, it proves that marketers would do anything for a paycheck.

Well, I remember people posting with tears in their eyes, and promising Karen that they'll do the impossible to find August's father.
