It wrinkles my brain that Jupiter’s moon Europa has oceans that are sixty miles deep, while Earth’s oceans only reach seven miles deep at most. I’m willing to bet good money that there’s life in Europa’s oceans. Like five bucks. You hear me, NASA? I bet you five bucks that there’s life on Europa… Now that there’s money and reputation on the line, I bet they send a mission there real quick.
I have no idea when this was originally posted, but NASA is working on their Europa mission RIGHT NOW to look for alien life! But get this, they theorize that because of the depth, gravity, and composition of the oceans, any organisms that lived there would be waaay bigger than aquatic life on Earth. So far everything’s going well with regards to their Europa mission so they should have a spacecraft on its way to look for giant sea monsters in space in only a few years. (The planned date is in the early 2020s.)
He bombed seven nations at once, families literally sleep in the same room so if there’s a drone strike they die together. He initiated the habit of designating all males over 17 as enemy combatants if they’re in the area of targets to “decrease” the civilian death counts. He made it policy that US citizens can be killed if they’re in foreign nations. He made teenagers primary targets. He deported more people than any other president back to the violence they fled from. He prosecuted and jailed more whistleblowers than any other president. He continued and escalated every one of Bush juniors policies and associated his name with terror the world over. But you know the glo or whatever
In case you haven’t been on Twitter lately the most recent discourse is that a vegan consoled a crying child and gave her money for ice cream, and another vegan made a callout because she didn’t tell the child to buy vegan ice cream.
post apoc media is always banging on about the necessity of macho survival skills but frankly it’s the gardeners/farmers who know 150 preservation techniques for winter beets and who understand the art of good pH balance in compost who will survive on our non energy dependent farms while you all butcher each other with katanas in burnt out shopping centres
So my friend was telling me yesterday that she got a new Samsung smart TV for her living room. One afternoon she was sitting on the couch across on the TV, which was turned off, talking to her friend about social anxiety.
The next day her Samsung phone, Facebook account, and her son’s Instagram account (which is linked to her phone number) were blown up with ads for social anxiety medications.
She called Samsung up like “WTF“ and they admitted that it was a “feature“ on the smart TV for it to record conversations even when turned off in order to provide customized ads. You could turn off the setting but of course you probably wouldn’t even know about it unless something like this happened because it’s not like they readily advertise “this thing will record your conversations even when it’s turned off“.
No in 1984 the government forced people to have a telescreen, in the real world people just buy them
If i Remember correctly they only record key words, not the whole conversation.
How do you think they hear those keywords? The microphone is on all the time. They may say they aren’t preserving information but it’s really their word against yours. Also if you have a computer or laptop there’s a near certainty that you have a certain Intel chip that constantly monitors your data and cannot be turned off so have fun with that.
You can turn the microphone off. Or at least with mine and a few friend’s. Well majority of the laptops have term agreements as well. Including mine I know what’s happening. They can also be remobed by someone who knows what they are doing. I’m also not doing anything on these things that can compromise my identity or accounts. Don’t do illegal things. Term agreements??? Ever heard of em??? They have to abide by them as well. So anything they have is inadmissible in court. Is it right? No. But that’s what people get when they just click on shit.

this is fantastic now children in Puerto Rico wont be able to receive the education they deserve thanks to their messed up government
Its even worse than that. I’m living through it. Not only are schools closing, hospitals are collapsing. Only around 9% of the island has electricity and it comes and goes at times.
People are dying in hospitals because of lack of diesel for the generators, a lot of the water is now infected, there are disease outbreaks and scareceness of food. I am safe, but many are not.
Some have water, others don’t. We need help. Sending money would be helpful but what would help even more would be sending water filters, filtering water bottles, food, medicine, if somehow possible diesel.
All of you reblogging this news helps, but what we need is physical help. If you can’t, then spread the word, but God if you can send supplies… Please… PLEASE do. We are dying. Help us, help us save ourselves. Help us save our people. Help us save out ISLAND.
If you’re not in a position to ship or transport useful items to the island (which is sure as heck the case for me in New Zealand) then the best thing you can do is give money to a reputable relief organisation operating in the area.
I believe that my life has been doomed since I was born as I have always had such horrible luck, but I have managed to get this far, I swear I don’t know how, but I truly want to continue living. To complement my bad luck, I was born in Venezuela a country with a terrible economic situation that gets worse every single day, for the last 20 years.
I have seen so many successful fundraisers, for things like buying a cellphone, but I can’t even manage to reach people. I know helping is not mandatory, I understand if you don’t want or can’t donate.
But please, help me reach more people; this is literally a matter of life and death.
I don’t know what else to do. I don’t want to stay here any longer. Predictions say that for the second half of the year the situation will be so terrible that even if you have some money you won’t be able to buy anything because there will be NOTHING to buy. All those that don’t manage to leave will simply die of starvation, sickness or pretty much anything.
I just want to leave with my mother as soon as possible, I promise we will do it spending as little as possible. We are even planning on helping out a friend that is in a worse position than ours. He would be of great help in the travel. It is a 7 days long journey by bus from Venezuela to Peru. We have to go through Colombia, Ecuador and Peru to reach Lima (Peru’s Capital city. This way we would save as many as 3 times what is worth the travel by plane). Plus, we will have some money left to rent somewhere cheap when we arrive, do all the paperwork to stay legal in the country and survive while we find a job and get paid.
Living here in Venezuela, I swear it must be like living in North Korea with a bit of internet. The government does whatever they want; they up until this very moment are still stealing all the money this country generates. They deny that there is a crisis. They won’t leave humanitarian aid to arrive. And they will NEVER leave the power willingly. EVEN if someone overthrows the government it will take as much as 50 years or even more for this mess to be somewhat fixed.
I do not have the time to wait. Nobody has it and that is why people are fleeing in mass. But I do not have the resources. At any moment, the government could block all the ways of getting out.
Please help me, just by getting out of here, I can try to make a life or my own. I will have the chance, the first ever chance of just living and not surviving one day more.
Believe me when I say that just 1$ will be of great help, or just sharing my fundraiser so more people will see it.
It sadly has a time limit, Gofundme acquired Youcaring and obviously Venezuela is not in the countries supported by Gofundme and I do not have a bank account to open a fundraiser there. So, I only have 33 days left with this fundraiser before it gets taken down.
