A Picture

is worth a thousand words, or so they say. We've quite possibly not talked about who "they" are.  Maybe we have. I once said somewhere that, "We don't know who they are. Well, I do."  

The mysterious they are quite possibly those that know more than you do.  We don't care what they know, as long as they know more.  I'm not saying that I know more than you do. I'm typing it.

These days with all the various AIs out there, you can probably write a thousand words, and have it represented as a picture. I'm sure the tech has gotten to a point wherein you can create a video of a living woman in various stages of undress doing things that you couldn't show in a PG-13 movie.  

However, you can probably talk about them.  I didn't realize I was going to write about the MPAA's rating system today, but here we are.  

A beautiful naked woman walks along a public beach.  As long as she doesn't have sex with anyone on it, you get an R rating.  She can even kiss someone. That same woman in a bikini gets a PG-13, as her parts are covered.

If she were to start making love to someone on that same beach, you'd be in NC-17 territory. Back in my day, that rating was X, until the porn industry jacked it, and made it XXX.  In 2024 we even have the ability to buy the extension for any domain. 

PG will be something without offensive language or violence, and a G rated movie doesn't even have that, however, there is conflict, as that's the essence of all drama.  

We have the ability to enter into the language part of this discussion, as we're discussing creating words that add up to a certain number to describe a simple visual.  I once did the math on how many words it would take to make a movie this way. 

Some would say that you can use the F word, as that's how adults talk, however, I was raised in a polite society wherein you shouldn't be using The Seven Words You Can't Say on Television. Visually we can describe something without them.  

As a writer, I'd simply use three words: They make love.  

Hopefully that's only two people in the privacy of their own home? 

The same scene can take place outdoors at a secluded beach or park. 

There's a possibility that there's more than simply two people that make up "they." That's for the author to decide, as I'm simply reporting on what may happen.  

I started this discussion with a concept about knowing about "they."  They are not us, and we are not them. You may never be part of a they, unless someone wants to lay an epithet on you.

I'm about half way to my goal, and I don't necessarily know that these words would necessarily create an image that anyone wants to see. I could attempt to crank out more, however, I think that's enough for today, as I have other writing to do elsewhere that you probably won't get to read either.

You may see it someday however.

Fraction Magic - Detailed Vote Rigging Demonstration

Watch and learn.

 

Simple math methinks. I learned fractions in 3rd grade. I didn't realize that you could tell a machine how to do things and when to do them until about six years later.

That's ancient history for most of you, as it took place before you were born. I'm simply saying in this case, unless you have a masters in Computer Science from the University of Stupendous Choices, that I know more than you do.

The grammarians among you may be thinking to yourself, "Self, one of those commas isn't necessary." To which I simply state, "Not the point!!!!!"

I don't want to distract from the message of the video, however, if you don't have 24 plus minutes to watch and learn then to put simply, x*y doesn't always equal z.

Wherein x is the number of votes, y is less than or greater than one, and z becomes more votes than actually cast in Nevada for instance.

Now I'm not one to complain, however, I shall lament.

We brought this on ourselves. The need for the technology that allows me to write this here in the beach that is round and you read it wherever you are exists.

A hundred years ago, we didn't have any of it. We had amazing mathematicians and theoreticians that visualized all the formulas that are taking place in the background that you may not even know about today.

Einstein, Tesla, and the like. Aside: Einstein never said, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

Much thanks to my friends on Twitter that found this video. It may be down by the time you read this.

The Rant Of Randomness

Friday May 29, 2020

The Order, and Google Chrome. Original Video Animation, and more computer languages
have died than I know exist. Platforms that I didn't know about a week ago I will be
using. This is what happens when the little head rules the big head. 

Book of the face amps me up all most as much as Twitter these days. Social Justice Warriors, or
SJW's, are truly taking their influence to the next level. What if no one's listening? What
then? Maybe half of your followers are following you because they want to laugh at you
instead of with you. Maybe they're telling their "friends" that they should do the opposite
of what you're espousing. Not too much we can do about this, is there? 

We know better. We know the correct path, but do we have the right to tell others how to
live?  Certainly in the 21st century, we have the privilege to be allowed to do so. Just pay
enough money to the right sites, and have at it. Most are sheeple, and won't think for
themselves as they need to be told what to do and when to do it. If you're lucky, they'll
give you money for that information too. 

All the good stuff is free. Well, if you're getting it free, it's on an ad supported site, and
you've probably subscribed. The pay per click model is relevant and rampant.
Micropayments are a thing in this era of rampant blockchain creation, and everyone
shouting, "Pick me, pick me!!!" 

We're only in the middle of a pandemic if we know when it will end. Those that think they
know say we're going to be going through this to the end of the year at least. They're
selling fear. The clowns to the left of me are saying, "Stay home. Stay Safe. We're in this
together." These statements are only true if you believe them. 

I'm glad I live in a country where I don't have to listen to those in charge if I don't have
to. Sure, there's consequences, and that's fine. I'm willing to accept them. Food is
medicine. I've said before that I met a doctor that states Americans have the healthiest
urine on the planet. Okay. What do I do with this information? 

I don't know. Or, the lazy person's response to anything lately, "Google it." NO!!!! One,
there's better search engines out there, and more importantly B) If you don't know, then

you don't know. Say it!!!! Try it with me, "I don't know." Wasn't that easy?

There's a lot of great stuff out there, and a lot of great people willing to give you free

information, however, you have to act on it, and be mindful. The jokers to the right are
probably saying en masse, "You should only listen to me!!!" 

Being a centrist sucks sometimes, and that probably rates about a 50 on the suck scale.
Typical. Remember, on that scale, lower scores are better. However, the ability to make a
decision that's going to tick off half of the unwashed masses no matter what you do is
quite possibly a learned skill that I've mastered. At least it's an idea. 

I was attempting to explain this to someone recently, and either I started talking too fast,
or an old injury came back, but the point is I started slurring my speech. Not a great way
to get someone to listen to you. The default after that is to go louder, because maybe
they didn't hear you the first time. Or if they did, they weren't paying attention, and I
don't truly like repeating myself. 

I don't know how many plans that I'm either directly or indirectly involved with have been
put on hold, or at least, delayed. There's a serious lack of communication going on not
just here, but everywhere. I do know that it's been over 45 years since I made the
decision that put me on this current path that led me here today to give these words to
you.

I don't know how many of you are going to read this, and I don't know where you'll read it
either. I just know that my advice may be heard, and you may have heard it elsewhere
first. It doesn't make what I'm saying here any less valid. It just means that I may be
right this time. 

You may proceed at your leisure or peril. Choose to ignore me and come back for the
laughs, as you know, the funny is always free.
