Oddly Satisfying Video
My ears were bleeding, so ... no, i wasnt quite satisfied!
We are just a small part of this wonderful Milky Way Galaxy
That is exactly what i feel, when looking up to the stars ... not frightend by my insignificance, but elevated by being part of something much, much larger. It calms me.

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Donald Trump
They will loose with a Trump nomination, they will loose with an independent Trump. They will even loose when Trump suddenly vanishes, because they NEED the Tea Party votes to even have a fighting chance. Its a loose-loose situation. Good for the Dems, bad for the States. Having only a Two Party System is not good, but having only one valid political party left is not something i would call a democracy. Sane republicans have to finally get their shit together!
I don't see the GOP surviving much more of this, which is a very positive outcome.

Bernie Sanders Polling Surge - Seth Meyers
This isnt about the change new technology brings. You can welcome the Digital Age or you can condem it. Doesnt matter. What matters that things WILL change. Very drastically in a small amount of time. A LOT of stupid, boring, menial jobs will soon vanish. Which is a good thing, but what to do with all this people who worked on those jobs?
Our wealth is based on us buying lots and lots of new things. Things and services. For that, we need money. We work to get that money. But if more and more jobs vanish, you cant just wait and hope for the best. You have to somehow counter that loss of expendable income.
What method you use or what combinations will be effective ... time will tell. But relying on the Invisible Hand of God (err ... The Free Market) and making the already super rich even more rich will NOT work.
As i said ... in Davos more and more influental people finally agree that something has to be done, because those job losses and economic changes will happen. Very fast. This is not a slow process like changing from hunter/gatherer to farming. Even the Industrial Revolution took several generations to finally establish itself. The Digital Revolution, in combination with a more and more intertwined, globalized world will change our lives in a matter of only a few decades.
I'm really not sure about that. The agricultural and industrial revolutions didn't exactly have that effect, it just moved jobs from one place to another right? I mean, my job almost didn't exist 10 years ago. Not saying there is no challenge, but the elimination of thankless menial labour has to be a good thing overall no? I'm more worried that our slaves are finite resources that will need replacing eventually, one hopes not with the human variety.
Bernie Sanders Polling Surge - Seth Meyers
This isnt just the US economy. The Digital World will make many jobs obsolete everywhere. In a few decades there will be not enough manual work left to make a living for everyone.
Which means ... there will not be enough spending capacity left to generate enough revenue for a lot of industries. When no one has work, no one has the money to buy stupid crap they really dont need, so entire industries will go bancrupt which means more jobless people which means even less disposable income.
In Davos, on the World Economic Forum, for the first time there was a decent and serious discussion about possible solutions for this developement. From heavily investing in education for future generations to different models of basic income.
"They" know that something has to be done. There has to be some form of wealth distribution or everything will go up in flames.
@Bernie:
As a European Bernie isnt THAT much a leftie. He wont win the nomination, but the more he gives Hillary a hard time, the more influence he will have on her future social and economic policies. May be he'll even end up in her government.
I think that's a bit of a flawed argument and hardly what's wrong with the US economy.
undoomed-vegan suggests killing meat eaters
While i refuse to watch this crap, i still have one question: Does she want to kill all flesh eating animals & bacteria too or just flesh eating humans?
Besides that ... crazy person is crazy. Nothing new under the sun.
Star Trek Beyond - Trailer 1
Southern germany. Hightech cinemas all around
There is an "old" cinema about 50 km away, but ... it's only a movie, not some life-saving hospital. I wait for the bluray.
Wow! Really?!? No 2 D theaters at all?!? That's nuts. Where are you located, if I may ask?
I also have trouble with the new 3D, but I intend to give SW a chance. I hope I don't have to see it a second time in 2D to actually see it. I live in N Cal., and we barely have 3D theaters here, but plenty of smaller 2D screens.
If only they would make a good quality, 4K, 3D projector at a reasonable price, I would just stay home. People in theaters suck. It's like their parents never taught them that a theater is not their living room. That's why I only see an average of 1 movie a year in theaters. I would see far more if it weren't for the other movie goers.
Star Trek Beyond - Trailer 1
Have fun! I will pass on the new SW movie. There is actually no effin 2D cinema left in my region and my brain and/or glasses/weak eyes are incompatible with this horrible 3D bullshit.
My mind cannot process a simultaneous excitement for Star Wars and Star Trek. I will get back to Star Trek after Dec. 18th, thank you.
