In my opinion, I think people should have the right to die and ask for assisted death in a hospital setting providing they meet certain criteria - They should extend this request past only medical reasons. We do not get to decide our faith after we die - it is in the hands of our creator or whoever programmed our simulation of life If life was a simulation, this means whoever is running it would not want you to end there, and create a new simulation / life for you, it can be a shittier life or a better life, which is why the right to die and request it should not be taken lightly There is a theory though that if you take your own life, you will relive the same life over again, or as punishment you could end up far FAR worse than you did in your previous life - I strongly believe in these theories, and this is what is keeping me alive today.........We are here for a reason - we don't get to decide when we leave - there are exceptions for very ill people who are given the choice to get assisted death, but these are exceptions in specific cases, and it is still very controversial as it would still technically be ending your own life, only someone is doing it for you..........I hope I never have to take this f****** decision

Then you would wonder, why the F**K would NASA lie about the moon landing, what gains would it get, we all know that Americans never landed on the moon - Russians did

BUT apparently we were all Martians before until the planet was at war and we became extinct, now we are on Earth and the same cycle will repeat again, we might either end up on Mars again or another planet, but the moon, never, how could we ever possibly have gone to the moon - besides why would anybody want to brag about going on the moon, first of all the moon is not a planet, and second, with its EXTREME temperatures and it's lack of gravity, it would be impossible to live there, doesn't the moon reach -50C, although in some Canadian provinces during the winter we are not far from that

BUT Yet Americans keep on wasting trillions of $ for SPACE, and the end result is what, so far today we have not found life on another planet, we have not found aliens and we have not found a portal to other universes + time travel, so it is trillions of $ wasted. I think Trump (when he will be elected in 2024) should consider abolishing the space program, saving trillions of $ that are better spent on national security and the economy and the well being of people within. I think they have wasted enough money on space exploration I think it should stop and stop now - because investing in that shit is just as bad as throwing your hard earned money down the toilet and flushing, and this money comes from tax payers - who wants to pay taxes from your hard earned money so that the government looks for aliens or other planets, who gives three Fs, it's not like we are going to go there or live there.

They also want to explore the sun, well not like we will live there anyway :- maybe sun is actually hell

How can you pay later if you are no more, it's more like Buy Now Die Later

Cryptocurrency including BItcoin has kept scammers and criminals alive all this time, and fueling crime.

WELL the same way Voice Over IP (VoIP) technology is a heaven for scammers and criminals. Unfortunately, VoIP is slowly replacing landlines - and with this technology people can easily spoof caller ID data, change number, change name, even impersonate real companies and real people's phone numbers !!!!! You may think you are getting a call from your bank, because you see that same bloody number and name on your CID, but it could be a scammer on the other end of the line just spoofing the CID data. So VoIP is enabling criminals the same way crypto is enabling criminals online.

and now with AI, imagine the future of criminality. You can have criminals calling you using your bank manager's voice, someone you know, a family member, friend, your insurance agent, etc......... They might even use YOUR voice to scam others, nice future where the world is run by criminals and the politicians that support them !

I have described where is heaven to people who believe in it but even they did not understand they only understand the word HEAVEN

You think we are in hell with all that is happening around the world - I hate to disappoint you, but we aren't - I think earth is purgatory, it's that place between heaven and hell, despite all the shit happening today on this planet, we are far from hell even if there are people living in hellish misery, they are not in hell by definition. Some people claim to live a life of suffering, still not hell, hell is something far far FAR worse with no possibility for things to get better, here on earth we live in purgatory, a purgatory where you can still live a decent f*cking life if you are wealthy or a criminal / politician (same thing). and if you are not wealthy you can still count your blessings because hell is far far far worse beyond anything you can imagine.

Now back to the topic BREATHING - Tasman1's information is incomplete. For an adult, the normal breathing rate is BETWEEN 12 and 20 per minute. For infants it is 30 to 60. Let's talk about adults now, 12-20, this is a NORMAL range, you are not going to explode or die if you go outside this range - this is a normal range AT REST that rate will be much higher if you are exercising, under stress, shagging or have other health conditions.

Now let me count me breathing to see if it's in the normal range: 18 .... So I am in the normal range - this number can fluctuate greatly depending on many things and your general health conditions - as long as your organs and brain (at least for those who have one ) is getting enough oxygen to function, people should not worry

Same goes for heart rate, a typical rate for men is 70-100, BUT some athletes can have very low rates like in the 40s-50s, and with excellent vitals. The more you are fit and in shape, the less rate. People who are athletic, in shape and relaxed in general (ahahaha yeah like this exists in 2024 AYE ? ) those people have a low heart rate and breathing and they are functioning just as well....

A hard lesson to be learned in 2024 - watch out what you say about a company you do not like, online, even if what you say is factual or own opinion - here is an interesting and real story - one you would least expect to read, but it did happen, yes only in America - a country where your freedom of speech is protected by the 1st amendment, BUT, the catch is, it does not protect you against consequences of your speech ..........

WELL boy have I got some news to start your day today so have a cup of coffee (or tea) and enjoy reading what's to come

Someone paid the price for talking bad against eBay, you know a company that allegedly facilitates scammers, a platform where consumers get scammed billions of $ yearly by fraudulent sellers, you know kinda like Amazon but worse

WELL if the company you are saying bad stuff about manages to track you down, here is what they will do:

https://www.ctvnews.ca/business/u-s-charges-ebay-over-employees-who-sent-live-spiders-and-cockroaches-to-couple-company-to-pay-us-3m-1.6721906

Have fun reading You would think this kind of stuff happens in movies, but nope, it's real. Some people settle their scores with guns, some people prefer using live insects though, it SEEMS to be more effective than guns

The good news in this ? It could mean millions of $ in reward for the person / couple who received those spiders, cockroaches, lizards, dead pigs and other body parts by mail.

So now eBay responded the usual ways companies respond "We take our consumers well being seriously" rubbish, and "we have new leaders now and promise we will extend training, " more rubbish........."so that this does not happen again..." yeah more rubbish - So they thought MAYBE sending insects and body parts by mail wouldn't get noticed, how could they possibly be caught right ? Says lots about the company and platform.............

My opinion on this ? The couple deserves more than $3 million in settlement. They should get a minimum of $10m, after all this is America, $3 million is pocket change.

More evidence is showing that COVID19 was developed in a lab and accidentally leaked. WELL *NOW* there is a new virus that is being developed in a lab and being tested on humanised mice - it is such a DANGEROUS virus that if it leaks and spills into humans, it would cause 100% mortality, unlike COVID19 which had 3-4%.
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.01.03.574008v1.full

This is serious stuff there - and this is NOT a natural virus but engineered in a lab. Are they doing this for the purpose of bioweapons allegedly ? Research like that should be banned and considered crime of humanity. Instead of playing around with viruses they should research cures for diseases.

Me , I am out of perfume , can I try Jesica Parker ?

Wife , yes you can , she is still in your bedroom

Me , thanks , will try her right now

See I kinda knew where this was going after the 2nd line

So let me translate this to you in pure English,

when wife says "No did have no time" it meant "Piss off, I can't be arsed with your bloody perfume, get me a better gift next time you tool"

It would have been way different had you gotten her a box of diamond Perls, 24k gold necklaces and other fine jewelries"
If you were to ask her the question, her answer this time would be "Oi, can't you see I'm busy right now ?"

World’s wealthiest people got $2.2 trillion richer in 2023
The world’s 500 wealthiest people are entering 2024 even richer, after adding a staggering $2.2 trillion (US$1.5 trillion) to their fortunes during 2023.

Buuuuuuuuu , who care , ySense members earned much more , 2.2 trillion is nothing compared what we did earn here
This year we will earn even more , perfect start so far...

Year $0.10
Last Year $1,458.51

Lets get to your original question no one is a trillioner,but the 10 cities in the world with highest number of Millionaire's and Billionaires is as follows its not in order
1 LA -US
2 NEW YORK-US
3 SAN FRANCISCO-US

Yeah it's no surprise, if you see the house prices and also even the cost of renting even the smallest and shittiest of apartments in LA, New York and San Francisco, you would definitely need to be wealthy. In LA, a $100k salary is considered poverty, you can barely pay rent

As to London, well, yeah you need to be filthy rich to buy a house there, in the millions of $ Canada is not far behind, in a few years house prices will start at around $1m, even the shittiest house that was built in the 1930's and needs $300k of renovations, a house that was worth only $250k-$300k before this bloody pandemic, is now worth close to $700k!!!!! the same bloody old house that needs a couple of hundred grands worth of renovations

Great, even MORE reasons never to go to Australia, well there were millions of reasons BEFORE, now there is a million and one

So that big female spider, well think of it as a good thing, for those who are still single, this is a behind the scenes look at what marriage would be like, it could help millions of Australians (and non Australians) think carefully before getting married (a.k.a. falling through the trap door!)

And I got news for you, spiders in Australia are not finished getting bigger - now I know what you are thinking, you are probably saying "Well that's not a bad thing, the bigger they get the more slower they are at walking or running", NOPE ! They may be getting bigger, but they can run and they can run so bloody fast, they can even jump high distances. This is no joke, I have actually seen some house spiders run and jump. The big ones too CAN, they have strong legs. God forbid if they had wings though

Actually that is not true Tasman1, unless your birthday is exactly on January 1st

BTW, most people don't even realise that the year is only based on Gregorian calendar........

The Chinese calendar says we are in year 4720, they are way ahead of us you see BUT wait, according to the Assyrian we are in year 6771 ...................... AND according to the French Revolutionary calendar we are in year 230

Ohhhhh in the 1800s, say no more I guess this explains it......imagine all women with shaved heads and black teeth and all men with curly hair........ World would be a better place, no more judging people's hair styles and looks

I wonder what more wacky predictions this guy has made, he probably predicted that we would still be driving in carts pulled by horses

No I am not over 60, I'm so far you cannot imagine

ALSO speaking of positive thoughts, the new year has barely started and already there are weather disasters, high profile crimes, political shakeups, world on the brink of WW3, etc........ it don't get any positive than that LOL!

Well ask me about my take right now then My take is, hopefully I am long gone dead and moved to a new dimension or whatever before 1) I lose my mind 2) Someone has to wipe my arsehole 3) I have to live to see what the rotten world has become.........I don't think things will be too good by the time I reach that dreadful age, and based on premonitions I have and dreams I had like I mentioned before, it seems I might not even get there, so yeah, hopefully I go peacefully in my sleep, and if I somehow, unlucky me, manage to reach that age, hopefully I have won a giant lottery before then so I can move to some remote part of the world nobody has heard of

valerie wrote: Did you know there is a squid games series?

I don't remember what service it is on. Maybe google it.

I've heard about it vaguely - apparently it sucks major cow dung from what I read in the article

I just got my e-mail from Amazon this morning about the advertisements - looks like we gotta pay $2.99 to get the ad free version - what a scam What a sneaky half arsed way to increase prices - pretty soon they will increase prices anyway - it's not about investing in new content, it's about increasing their profits, they are a public company not immune to greedy profit making - well actually all streaming services apparently are running in deficit except for Netflix.......pretty soon it is going to be FREE Prime shipping but we will send you tons of junk snail mail as ads

oh wait .......... they already do that apparently

Today 1st of January 2024, looks like some of my predictions are panning out, conflicts are getting worse, and one major event that made the news around the world - the massive earthquake and Tsunami alert in Japan.

valerie wrote: They're going to get our money any way you go.

When people saw Netflix they began reducing their cable and satellite channels. As more streaming services came along, many people cut ties with their cable or satellite service.

Now it's almost got to the stage that we might as well go back to cable.

LOL !!! Have you seen what's on cable lately ? You'd be paying for garbage essentially. People switched from cable not only because of price, but flexibility and ability to choose content they want to see WHEN they want to see it and there is far more interes4ting stuff to watch on streaming than cable. There used to be good series and good shows but not anymore, now cable is mainly crappy content and reality TV. Only a few things worthy to watch on cable nowadays like the Chicago series (Chicago Med, Chicago Fire, Chicago PD, etc.)
Besides cable prices have gone up big time too.

I didn't subscribe back to Netflix this winter and I probably won't.

There is good stuff on it right now, and Squid Games 2 is coming later this year, I hope it won't disappoint.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Time zooms by so fast. One hour you are 15 and can't wait until you're 16.
The next hour you are 66 and wondering if you will make it to 76.

You are funny Statistically the age expectancy is somewhere near 85, so unless you jump off a cliff or you have some serious health issues, I'd say your odds are good to get to 76.
