Agreed. I add that when one is hired by an organization without the ability to track productivity it is soooo irritating.

LinkedIn is run/owned by an irrational, deranged Trump hater.
I bailed out years ago because of that.
Don't do business with your enemies.
Carefully choose where you shop and what motivated you to the specific purchase.
People can live happily without many devices we are 'encourage' to buy.
That goes for sources of information and entertainment, too.
Using cash for purchases can help cut down the amount of noise, too.
It's hard for the AI to keep manipulating you without data it gets from credit purchase data.

I couldn't have worded it better, rainman0720. Same profession and I had to account for every hour charged while working for corporate America. When I started contracting, it was all merit based - that is, if you didn't do a good job no customer would call you back or refer you to others. Produce or go hungry.

LinkedIn only matters to me if a post is from someone I know and even then I don't bother with it much. Its editorial content took a left turn way back. LinkedIn floods my inbox every day and every day I hit delete-delete-delete without opening.

Wow, OUC, MAGAzean international section! Nicely done! "Shake, Rattle and Spank" is well named! LOL

all had me laughing, thanks

Hehe... Yeah. I have been thinking that what I'm seeing is a bunch of bots. I've seen bots and paid posters doing things like raid forums like our Gulch. And, for many years I found bots on FB. They'd post some passionate, short statement in favor of the globalist agenda - sometimes even with an insult thrown in (because everybody is supposed to be concerned about what others think of them. Then, I'd trace it to the posters facebook page and there'd be two or three pictures of the person from a distance, fuzzy, often with one or two fellow idiots not named. It was a solid pattern. Most humans...You could go to their FB page and see what they look like and their interests. None of that on these. Pretty funny. Popular social media has been there to influence the masses. This is why they had a total fit when Elon snagged Twitter. I was thinking, "Why do they care so much?" It was stupid. It's all....ALL about control. Linkedin is just about totally unusable anymore.

Sementics....

I'm confused. Are you not getting the care your husband earned for you?

You mean it's "SOFT" to do

Take the blue pill for erectile dysfunction.

Take the red pill for electile dysfunction.

Welcome to The Matrix! .......now non-fiction!

Hmmmm ..... Blue Pill .... Waking Up is hard to do

I've taken a 3 week break from doing anything productive toward business. I have been watching all kinds of new activity on a few forums. A lot of "new" players, pumping in mass amounts of rhetoric .... 30 posts in a day, showing only a 3 or 4 hour break between the strings for 3 or 4 consecutive days. My gut says these are paid actors using arbitrary AI inquiry or postulate to faction. From a left or right point of view, depending on the posting, some of the message seems plausible .... until I dig into the details. 90% is unsupported by anything traceable as real data or evidence. Photos/images taken from old sources or, old narratives that show up as purportedly new and show origin dates from 10 to 20 years ago.

Example: Had a claim on Quora that tariff on Canadian goods was retaliatory for the oil pipeline going to Vancouver. China and Canada had agreement in 2012 regarding investment development to further the project that began in the 50's. 2012 agreement was to expand volume to the port. Late 2024 completion and increase from 300 to 890m barrel/day. "IF" Canada could load that volume 27/7 and transport, this could supply around 5% of Chinese consumption daily. There are around only 10 ULCC tankers in the pacific to shuttle crude. This was all cobbled and out of context under strict scrutiny.

AI. Extreme caution. Dan Appleton posted a 4 part series on Quora beginning Dec. 12, 2021: What is the human mind, how does it work, and what is it's future. Chapters: 1 Photon Sea, 2 The Reasoning Mind, 3 Thought Currents, 4 Human Paradigm. You can look them up if interested (25 pages total) He also published a 175pg book "Our Language Gene" These works will explain the following statement I make: When you step away from direct interpersonal exchange and connect to anything in expressive language that is "not" you are touching upon the fringe of potential insanity.

Wish you happiness and fortune.

Before clicking (likely a second time) on Meme #1, loudly say "EEEE-YOU!" and read what V.P. Vance spanks on a smelly wannabe Nazi.
Why rattle globalist cages when you can blister stingy control freak butts?

If there were anything reasonably prosecutable I'd join you back flippin!

Oh, I don't think anything will come of it, either. I think there will be interesting names on it, though. I remember a meme of a guy in a wheelchair screaming down a street of fire, "Here's Steven Hawking coming back from hell trying to stop the Epstein list from being published" - or something like that.

I think any of those who partook of Epstien's "services" should be publicly hung, though. Even if he bought their factories for pennies on the dollar as a result...

I've seen that happening in my non-military insurance for years. The send duplicate bills, bills that aren't really bills, etc. I always thought they are hoping for two things. 1-I'm too old and my eyes are too weak to read and understand it correctly and I'll just send a check. 2-Maybe I'm not good enough at English to just pick up a phone and ask, "What the hell is this?"

Yes a well functioning Republic requires a net zero balance between centrifugal and centripetal forces.

Tricare has not paid doctors since the new year started as they shift adm office but has caused all kinds of confusion

Uh OH Here it is $$1898.00 from an unknown 'Radiology Partners Gulf Coast. a division o Singleton Associates. Ambulance took an unconscious me to an HCA hospital in another city. Sorry but someone is going to eat this. I am covered by TriCare for Life - don't even have a copay and Medicare pays second. Hubby died from overexposure to Agent Orange, and I receive DIC. He also got Hepatitis in country. Don't know if it was Korea or the two visits to Viet Nam . I don't give a damn they killed my husband and I am supposed to get medical care. Purple Heart and Bronze Star for Valor. nb

be careful being in a hurry.

Notwithstanding, Claude Shannon on information theory: We are bombarded with messages. Messages that increase uncertainty are noise. Messages that decrease uncertainty are information.

I must monitor the noise to some degree to ascertain possibility/probability of a message being information. Certain initiators lose credibility after strict scrutiny. Mostly posting ad hominem rhetoric.
Open the books! I only care that personal data is redacted. Not the data of the "corporation" nor the info of those who "operate" the entity, nor the disbursements to any other "corporate" affiliation, nor their "operating" personnel. Only the data of the direct recipients for which funding was intended, as individuals. Turnabout is so delicious.

So, an unredacted list is exposed. How many are "guilty" only through association.
I'm pretty hard line on the rule of law and evidentiary process. Beyond a reasonable doubt is going to be difficult, but a great start for investigation. A few reasonable tendrils of evidence, even if not convictable, may put the integrity of the person under other scrutiny.

Lolita Express: Can only land on St Thomas or St Croix, next closest Puerto Rico. Helicopter or watercraft is the only means to access "Epstein". Watercraft is the only means by which non-documented persons may travel. Overwhelming, confirmed testimonial, in court, is the only means of conviction, provided those testifying survive.

I don't mean to burst a bubble, but I'm not holding onto hope for convictions, only questionability of conduct and integrity.

That is 100 percent my thinking and extremely well put. I recall that Isabel Paterson in "The God of the Machine," devoted a chapter to the impact of the 10th Amendment on the "engineering" of the machine. Free copy: https://mises.org/library/book/god-ma...

My dad, age 35, in 1970 began a 37 year teaching career. He could come across as progressive, yet maintained a position that was constitutionally conservative. He fought with administrations and ended up fired or pressured to resign 5 times because he advocated for process of teaching versus allowing administrative overhead to "solve" the perceived "problem". This carried over to what he was able to monitor on other government bureaucracies. He was adamantly opposed to State and Fed departments of education. He was actually opposed to anyone under 30-35 years old entering a classroom to teach. "They have no real experience to live in this world or teach the skills necessary."
After his retirement he and I talked and shared on a weekly basis regarding all the policy, inequity, waste, etc in the governmental structures. He really started getting a grasp, as he had lived through a lot of this activity, remembering elections, State and Fed regulatory changes, growth of "Departments", especially the escalation of overhead employment in the schools to address perceived and actual academic performance. The people who occupy the present bureaucracy would have been ages of students he had taught. He expressed on more than one occasion that the school system was destroying the minds, and therefore the values of the young. All of this was preparing the young for a job and not a life. "How are you going to spend your time; making a living or making a life?" My generation knows only the comforts of technology, training for a "job" and the persistent sound bites of all the narratives of the info tech available. Reading comprehension has taken a severe dive and thus the enthusiasm to pursue the skill. This was dad's prime advocacy.
So, we end up with the illiterate, uneducated, performing tasks that require real leadership and comprehension, for which they are unprepared. Dad saw this clearly in 2016. In 2020 he was aghast at the election results. A little hope that he might see some healthy change was quenched. I watched him withdraw. To the point of death almost 2 years ago. The only wish that I had for him was that he might live long enough to see the administration (literally) of Justice

I will conduct my thoughts as if this Justice were a funeral. It grieves me deeply that we are once again in the pattern of reactionary re-volution. Will the safeguards for posterity be enacted objectively or will we re-volve again on the 80 year pattern?

I remember thinking (observing) that there were several "Q" Posters, the language/articulation, wasn't always the same.
I also got tired of clicking upon endless post ID's only to be confused or disappointed many times.
Don't know what all that gibberish was for. Lucky if you found one gold nugget overall.
They were more like chipmunk holes rather than rabbit holes.
