Notl it bloody well isnt.

Its Liquid Hot Magma. Thank you.

Wheres the damn sharks?

I specifically wasn't talking about a position that has an 8 year lifespan. This was a discussion about positions that have no limits and the system that rewards seniority over capability.

And yes you are absolutely correct the machine can and does be made to work for the next person who slips into that position. However that event is significantly less useful to new faces than it is to established politicians who are also known quantities that are most likely using those networks as well.

It does matter who the figurehead is, in spite of the popular belief that the individual doesn't matter. It absolutely matters and that's kind of what we are taking about. Isn't it? Someone who is already in the game is going to use those system much better... And when we don't use them we have instability and incompetence which causes instability and damages things for long periods if not I definately.

Your own example of Reagan and Trump prove my point. It's not just age that's the most important factor. It's competence. Cognition is a big part of competence

It's as simple as this(if only to me anyways). Experience DOES matter. Let me attempt to explain where I'm coming from, no promise I'll succeed

Forging relationships and networks with hundreds of people and organizations is incredibly valuable to getting things done. Doing something for a long time generally makes you better at something.

When that something is talking to people and convincing them of things you are trying to accomplish, being known to the levers that you need to push and pull lets you get better results.

I'm personally not opposed to much better cognitive checks before, and also beyond a certain age for all public positions that have real affect on how everyone else will have to live, but there are centenarians with full and complete faculties, not many for sure, but knowledge is power, even if the flesh is weak that knowledge is still very valuable.

If if I'm not wrong, then arbitrarily throwing away close to a century of experience just because of a number, and not competency is crazy to me. I fully admit I don't know how to responsibly design and implement such a thing though. It could easily be abused/corrupted so that's a problem to figure out unfortunately. But I do think it's possible to design such check from people much better than myself. And yes I realize nothing is perfect but that's okay because life is change and any system needs to be able to adapt to changes of modernity

That being said there are also other things we could do. One thing I've always thought would be good is we could revive the concept of an Council of Elders and give it some influence on the processes we employ our leadership. Something like an appeals approval thing or oversight committee with some type of usable lever they can flex when needed. I don't really know how it would work, just thinking out loud a little here. Kind of like a jury but not too much with power. I'm from North America and First Nations here still have long way to go to before past injustices are reconciled but I think as a nation we should include more of their cultural traditions in the way we govern the country.

I think I'll stop this stream of consciousness here since most people have probably dipped anyway and I'm running out of steam anyways

I don't think this is a good argument for your point

Entirely fair. I'm just tired of this MJ story that wont end

It also doesn't mean that they are either.

I actually kind of want one when playing Once Upon A Time. Assuming it has no wireless connectivity in any way

That would also be my guess

We will have to wait and see.

I do think charmer has some unique elements and is definately one that stood out to me and is a memorable song. I'm just curious about their explanation of how it hits their ear differently than mine

What is it about that song that sounds so different to their other stuff? I've been listening to them a lot and am just curious, no shade

I assume it already is illegal and this is a nothing burger. But absolutely quite disgusting if depicting underaged people having sex is not already illegal as well as depicting incest is not already illegal

So many people in the comments are asleep at the wheel.

The Ministry of Justice said that possessing and publishing porn showing incest between family members and sex between step or foster relatives where one person pretends to be under-18 would be a crime.

Porn showing characters that are related having sex

Porn showing UNDERAGE characters having sex.

That's it. That's all this stops.

Which probably is already illegal in most places

This will stop very little to no additional porn according to what was said.

It's NOT a ban on showing step porn, only when one person is under the age of 18.

This solves maybe having. Some law to help prosecute things that are likely already being prosecuted but will do nothing to stop what has become popular.

For most people life sucks and then you die.

Anyone can find happiness with their lot in life, no one truly understands why some of the worst experiences lewd to positive outcomes, but the typical result is misery.

As you age you have more experiences to compare reality to. Many of those experiences wouldn't be a recognizable experience to the other people that shared that time and space. We create our own reality in our minds that usually is shared in a comprehensive enough way to recognize and agree with, but each person's experience and interpretation of that shared experience is their own.

Whether crows are wonderful exciting and creature to behold, or dive bombing poop monsters waiting to target you is your own mind interpreting what you see.

These experiences shape how you look at the world and you repeat many of them in some ways reinforcing the held interpretation of it

Its a very easy to find pattern in historical records that older people(generationally) see the new world that has been shaped by younger people is harder to understand. And while some people do find this exciting and energizing, most people will find it a burden or a corruption of what they understand.

Things change. Viva mutator, non tolitur.(I don't know if this is a real quote but I always remember it from some fiction book I read that explained this translated "latin" phrase as life is changed, not ended)

How you can enjoy your life while living through some of the worst experiences or on going conditions is beyond my understanding, but you won't stop finding people that are amazingly happy in spite of this. Maybe a very small amount but you won't ever stop finding more if you put enough time in.

I eat cheese on its own as a snack regularly. I never eat bread on its own without at least butter on it.

It's enjoyable to eat cheese on its own so there is no problem here. And I would also have just put the extra cheese on the last piece of bread but it wouldn't annoy me in anyway. The bread I would just toss unless I was actually hungry, but I've been eating cheese and bread all day so I'm not likely to be hungry

Bread is not good for many birds to eat.

This is a silly premise to begin with, but to answer it having an extra piece of bread left is the less desirable option

Uhhh in this economy?!
