I feel you. I can also understand how some people are very invested into their local news, but the volume of that subject came to cover everything else (and in a divisive angry way) So the rest of the Terra would appreciate the option of no-participation in US internal affairs.

Testing humor 101

@Fulcrum please use the tag #politics when talking about politics, it's a new feature on Peepeth and you can be part of the positive change too 😊

1000y of darkness followed it's distruction. How could such a place be destroyed? The perils of separating ethics and social responsibility from the theory. Here "the permanence of stars was questioned, the justice of slavery was not..."

Amazing documentary, thank you.

You've been on 🔥 the whole day, but I have only an enso to give.

Thank you for indulging me. In my experience no matter how silly we find our own laugh, it's still a positive vibe that brings joy to our friends and merriment to everyone else. Best infection we can go for.

I had a strange conversation today, and I would like to know more, if you're kind enough to share your experience: are you a "laughing out loud" or a "chuckle" type? If it's the first - can you lol while reading or watching something while alone, or it's more of a social moment?

3. Educate friends&family about the urgency of orangutan habitat loss and how to reverse it.

4. Add your signature to petitions to end orangutan habitat destruction

Wow, another thoughtful project from WeiWei, thanks for sharing. (This and many other good articles!)

Is this a photo or a rendering? It's hard to tell the difference these days.

I like how you accesorize with hat & bracelet, nice touch! Feminine hats are having a comeback, and I couldn't be happier about it.

It's impossible to discuss with someone who ends their opinion with "period.full stop". As a European I am confident in the future if we choose a sustainable path, picking collaboration over hate & fear. Cheers.

Seriously chill about Europe, situation here is very different than what I hear Washington talking, much too nuanced and overall much more positive than current administration would ever aknowledge. Come visit if you want to know more, don't accept second rate political opinions.

Kant argued that rational beings can never be treated merely as means to ends; they must always also be treated as ends themselves, requiring that their own reasoned motives must be equally respected; Reason implies respect and morality.

Peepeth is encouraging me to read more philosophy. Today's quote "Act in such a way that you treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of another, always at the same time as an end and never simply as a means."

Censorship in first world - you are given 3days out or have your social media account deleted. Censorship for the rest of the world - masked people beat you, or you might disappear forever. FB was sketchy from the start, this is just another reminder that we should stay away.

This is a bit too gloom to be useful for a better future. Check out Stoicism, you might find more practical solutions when the world is less than stellar.

I agree @abcoathup And speaking of the rest of the world Indonesia celebrated indepence day on 17th August! so from #FunWithFlags just want to mention that Indonesia🇮🇩and Monaco's🇲🇨 flag have similar colors but different ratio, while Poland's🇵🇱 inverted from Indonesia🇮🇩

A mix of '80 & futuristic vibe, looks good, thanks for the suggestion.

Before Peepeth or Twitter, there were the homing pigeons; used for more than 3000y, as early as 1150 for regular service Baghdad-Syria, and also later by Genghis Khan. The outcome of the Battle of Waterloo was also first delivered by a pigeon to England. #BirdsOfPeepeth

Best people I know are part of the "kill no fly" club. It's definitely endearing when I see someone moving a bug outside into the grass rather than crush it. "Nausicaa of the Valley of the winds" might be at the origin of my appreciation of critters.

Personally I chose to mute you not bc of something specific you said but because the whole wall was full of links posted by you and it was too hard finding out about other people. If you can filter and choose 1-2 important ideas/day more people would be interested to know them.

"but these outlets have become too central to our society to censor" - what do you mean by that? What about TV & radio, aren't those central & censored too? Do we even want uncensored TV? Just wondering what kind of society would we have without any censorship. Loudest voice wins

No censorship at all - that means giving equal opportunity to flat earthers and NASA for informing masses? And people should just choose for themselves who they think makes more sense?

Gwei you are an inspiration! I would love to buy you a tea if you are ever in the area 🍵

I love the cromatics in your pictures. I also enjoyed the other day when you posted 3 different sky instances (in urban setting) - so different, all breathtaking #lkie

Are you saying that maybe we should test new technologies more thorough before incorporating them into our daily life? It is proven that humans are not great at predicting the future, so I can see the point of slowing down and think more before jumping into the new hot craze.

I miss those days too, but do we miss them for ourselves, or wish someone else would dedicate themselves to agriculture and we can keep our urban lifestyle and just buy from small farmer? On the other side, urban gardens should be a thing for everyone with a balcony.

Not sure, personaly I love the # from the loading page, but it might also be lack of any popularity contests (aka 'likes'), or the thoughtful users that put accent on solutions & positive aspects.

#Prudence is the ability to govern and discipline oneself by the use of reason. It's also one of the four cardinal virtues (along Temperance, Courage and Justice) complimenting the theological virtues (of Hope, Faith and Charity).

I plan on reading about each # I see upon login

#Persistance is the homework for today - persisting objects are four-dimensional entities extended along the temporal dimension in addition to the three spatial dimensions. But because your information content is a strong function of time, you (t) ≠ you (t + 1).

I have one too: construction workers finishing your house and disparaging your new furniture (because anything less than baroc "is not stylish at all"). 😂

Really nice! And practical since the bag bans are introduced all around the world!

The best mall trip ever! Thanks for convincing me to take the shortcut, it was fun! And like in all horror movies, at the end of this corridor there's another corridor with another door like this one (probably where the monsters hide... from consumerism)

After the lush hiking paths, one is welcomed to one of the most unique mountain top boulders, several rock formations chiseled by wind, among which The Sphinx is my favourite.

These are Bucegi Mountains, part of Carpethians, and the best hiking experience one can dream of if you are interested in mountains, flora & fauna.

What exactly are you looking for, which features of FB you want to see and which ones are best forgotten?

I used to, trying to get back to it.

Got me there! I should have said "coins" instead of "money", since experts mention posibility of other types of currency besides direct exchange of goods. But no coins found from the Bronze Age.

And may the odds be ever in your favor! 😉

I'm starting to understand how grandma felt first time she saw an iPhone.

Debating is a skill one has to pursue, and it's always been natural for ppl who were thought like this from childhood. If no (good) education combines with little experience and small view of the world - mind gets stuck and fear takes over.

That was, weirdly, esthetical. On this note I'll go to sleep, hope to have surrealistic dreams. I #lkie 🛴

Heroes of might and magic here! 😂 I didn't think about it in years, but I was addicted in 7th grade

He apologized bc there was backlash, not bc he had a higher calling; and that's the point: too many people apologize only for damage management, so no backlash=no stop for stupidity. On the other hand FB\any corporation deciding who gets to say what is a time-bomb for democracy
