you cant escape.
It is a bit similar like here. But the emperor and brilliant as well as reticent, non authoritarian Web mastermind Robert C. Hsiung also might have good character traits besides that the steals, lies, coerces, exploits and has never been in accordance and is no more compliant with many laws. I dont deny possible good traits of the emperor. some few people might have profited from his website. but how can you know, maybe it damages more. eg. the meds hasn't shown to be as effective as thought that they could be (meta analysis) besides the theft and possible privacy problems, flash backs or coercion that can arise when posted here. nevertheless, the website must be in accordance.

In our country leader and observer Robert C. Hsiung is president. Not Donald J. Trump. But Hsiung. Donald J. Trump has to abide by the laws.

I should read it. I know of it. I know of it as a classic. one of those books like ''To kill a mockingbird'' that is very much worth reading.
When I hear of it I always think of... I think it was the movie ''Patch Adams'' with Robbin Williams in it.
He did quite a few good ones. ''Dead Poets Society'' was one.
Gosh, these things seem like alien culture to me, right now. So very very very very alien to the culture that we have in New Zealand.
In ''Patch Adams'' he was in a psychiatric ward for a time. I don't remember why. One of the things was holding up fingers in front of someone else's face (as though for a vision test) and asking 'how many fingers do you see'. And the trick about it is that if they look at the fingers they might say 'two'. But if they look at the face of the person who is asking them the question then their vision will perceive a doubling and they will say 'four'. And so the answer to question is of course to look the asker in the eyes and see (correctly) 'four'.
And that makes sense of a lot of mental health issues. That that makes sense.
Anyway...
Once he got out of hospital he went to Medical School. As an older person. And of course that was okay.
Like how Abbey (maternity nurse) went to night school and studied for entry to Medical School.
Because, you know, there are different things you can do with your free time after work. And some people hang out with their family. And some people go to the gym. And some people go to the movies or theatre or a game. And some people choose to take night classes to work towards better employment.
Only in a system where that pays off. Haha. ALien culture, indeed.
ANyway... He did really well at Medical School. I guess his parents were Doctors and he was able to bribe his way into Meidcal School and then bribe them, again, for grades. The whole thing seems wildly...
Alien.
Ideology...
Things worth working towards.
We don't have a sense of that, here.
We don't want people working.
Brown-nosing. Angels singing the praises of our leader-gods.
That is all.

it is a malevolent leader.
It could have been benevolent actually if there had not been theft, coercion, false statements, maybe personal gain but had been choice, the possibility to revoke at all times and edit their copyrights themselves.
In our country it seems that there isnt anything of legal certainty. But we will see what the future brings to us.
It is good possible that the huawei accusations are just a huge hoax. it's likely just politically motivated.
nevertheless things can change.

well, things can change for the better. it all takes a long time sometimes.
Do you have a netflix subscription, Alexandra, when you can watch all these tv series ?
I guess you're still in Wellington.

I am in Auckland, now.
I don't have netflix. I watched some neon.
Television isn't really my thing, anymore.
I watch CohhCarnage play computer games on Youtube or TwitchTv.
Or other people playing computer games.
Or I play computer games.
Or I read. Print. I prefer to read things in paper.
There is something tactile or motor in the way I ideally or properly process written information.
I mean I can do computer work, obviously, but it's different when I can put my hands on the page and work my way through a physical heft of it.
Form memory of where it was on the page. Of how far through the page was.
Of what shelf on the library the book resides.
In the library of the world...
According to the system of classification
Into which you can slot all the books in all the libraries of the world.
ANd readily see:
What is missing.
What sections aren't there.
What books have been removed.
Which is (of course) why the physical libraries are going / have gone away.
Off to the fires of storage.

it's good that you stopped smoking.

Thank you.
Yes, it is good that I have stopped smoking.
It was the hardest thing I have ever done.
I was smoking to die. 30 + a day. Roll your owns -- so I had a constant supply. Pretty much just constantly, contstantly, constantly smoking.
So it was really really hard to give up.
My supervisor told me something that (whether true or false) actually gave me a viable way to quit:
He said that he knew of a psychologist in Wellington who decided not to chew nicotine gum as it was prescribed to be chewed... But who cut the nicotine gum into tiny little portions and who chewed a tiny little portion of the gum each time they would normally or usually have a cigarette.
And I thought to myself: I could do that. Surely. Just have a piece of gum and chew it for the time in which my comrade smoked their cigarette. Or, during the time in which I wanted one.
There turned out to be a confound: The gum isn't absorbed very well when you are having a coffee. Well, f*ck.
But that was in fact the way in which I managed to quit (eventually). After trying (and returning) a few times. That was in fact the way I managed to quit.
The withdrawal showed me it wasn't just nicotine that was addictive, though. Other things were more addictive than the mere nicotine (that was being replaced). Actually, the gum caused a GI upset that wasn't so pleasant. That made it really super easy to give up chewing the gum. Giving up the cigarettes was the hardest thing I ever did.
It was partly the hardest thing I ever did because it was a decision to live, well.
vs a decision to die, as quickly as possible.
Choosing the former rather than the latter was the hardest thing I ever did.
But I did choose that.
And... Most other people did not. And do not want that for themselves. ANd do not want that for me. And do not want me to be allowed to help improve the health of peoples since they have chosen the whole death as quickly as you can, situation.
Sigh.
I need to remembe to pay the ad block people who make youtube watchable.
For making youtube watchable.
I find it is only watchable -- because of them.
It is very very watchable -- because of them.
I owe them a netflix subscription fee -- at least.
