He is suggesting we slow everything down until he works out how the Chinese are Chinesing.

The only reason for this is admittance of the weakness of your conventional forces.

Thanks, I am not the OP, parts of ffmpeg are bundled with the k-lite codec pack which I have for media player classic but mainly I use avidemux for simple video cuts and encoding. Probably should have mentioned that earlier but I went off on a unhelpful side-rant.

But the complicated software or really most software is not efficient and too wide a church with too big a footprint and wants trialed subscription and your email and permission to know your location and what you watch on TV and what you meant by that thing you said on the phone to your brother and can you write a review and take a survey and it just weighs people down and they seek out the easy.

People say easy because they are tired, they maybe remember the early days when people wrote freeware that performed just one function, very clearly. Now programs can tend to follow the coat hanger and combined harmonica rule and that can be quite tiring.

You think people all have an identical range of emotions and innate responses, but I mistook you for a different sort of mind, so that is enough of that.

TittyFrog, or perhaps if I could call you Titty, I cannot accept your analysis, I was very clearly making the point that a greatly atrophied morality was one of the primary prerequisites to the accumulation of a superabundance of wealth. Physical removal from poverty is minor Titty compared to the cognitive removal.

They are distinct, entitlement is lack of emotional empathy, a mental disorder in an individual which allows the accumulation of wealth far beyond their needs while making them oblivious to any ramifications to the society from which it was drawn.

It is the same thing, the callous entitlement to maintain wealth when it does obvious harm to others is the same asocial ability needed to accumulate it.

Very little wealth is created, it is more commonly amassed by taking it from others and more importantly it is hoarded by an ability in the individual to override the feelings of immorality that arise from seeing the effects of its grossly uneven distribution. This coarse lack of empathy is scalable and holds from impoverishing entire societies to stealing candy from babies.

And if every product is really smart and really capable how long until they start to wonder why they are spending their time helping the apes?

I honestly thought this was going to be the joke that when you turned the lights back on there was a cup of tea left on the bedside table.

Nostalgia and dreaming lives that might of been.

George is back in bed all day with the two grandmas, don’t worry about George.

My turn, starve or poisoned?

In a dentist waiting room I read an article on the best non-proprietary replacement bags for the Henry hoover.

I do not properly understand why it is not criminal for people in companies to make decisions to hinder limits on products they make profit from, but which demonstrably harm people. In the same way that it is if I found out if I hit people with a bat it’s easier for me to convince them to give me cash and so did that to a large number of people.

The YouTube thumb has the title written like it is their nicknames.

You are confusing crisis stockpiling by an individual with communal common storage. The thread is about incorrect advice for people to stockpile based on temporary perceived external threats, you yourself mentioned baked beans and pasta and now you are conflating that with humanity storing excess grain historically. Your argument has become desperate and absurd and so has that of your mini-me alternate username below. I think this article is false, governments usually expressly warn against stockpiling by the individual because of the false scarcity and price inflation it can cause. But all of that of course goes over your head because you buying up all the baked beans in Asda is the same thing as early farmers creating grain stores for winter.
