"Pollinators coming back, a number of species of insects that hadn't been seen in quite some time. More birds. The place looks like Africa. It's so stunning. And so it's weird that we're coming up with these overly complex solutions for after the fact rather than addressing things more simply up front, like asking for forgiveness rather than asking for permission over complicating, rathe...
"Will whatever we genetically modify have a ripple effect that that is for the greater good. And if that is something that we see from this, then I think that there is a balance that could be struck. At any rate, I think it's pretty hard to look at this story and not just, I mean, say anything other than wow at first. I mean, it's really an incredible feat. Science is one hell of a thing, ain'...
"The idea that he can put a tariff on something and the next day we have a factory in America producing the widget or whatever he's, he's putting this tax on is just, it's just ludicrous. Tariffs are a tax."
"And if you cannot make you feel good, if you get stuck, if you get paralyzed, if you get depressed, if you get frustrated, it keeps you away from the things that you really want to get done for the day. So in order to deal with this, I limit the amount of time focused listening to the negativity. And I spend most of my time focus focused on what I want to achieve and how I can have a be...
"Now I don't know how this was supposed to work when you have multiple people in the elevator. But anyway, creating a highly personalized experience for your journey on the elevator, which is just seemed really funny to me. Right. I've watched how some social platforms were created in a more general sense and how they thrived. But then when you have other social platforms that create a v...
"So you know, I think pretending that, oh, that's just low brow entertainment because it's made in somebody's home or something, it so easily accessible and free is ignorant."
"There are some people kind of talking about that, that it might have been deliberate. Deliberate or at least there is one person, I think it's Waltz that is feeding information to this journalist. But as one military person reminded me, you know, these are very sensitive when you're talking about military operations leaking us out or not. Being careful with this information can put American liv...
"And I guess one of their arguments was, why would you kind of isolate an entire half of your potential fan base and like, make them kind of turned off by the idea of watching the movie in theaters? Why would you limit that, like, part of your audience? Because of the, like, profit. Like, you can make a lot of money from them."
"And if I don't tune into it, you know, if I have small as well, good amounts of gaps of times that I don't. I have my daughter, I have work, I have riding on a bus to work, you know, getting out in the public, going to school. We discussed some of those things in school. And so a lot of times I get informed about things that I don't catch on the news."
"Okay. I hesitated to offer a answer to this prompt. I've been watching the channel hoping that somebody else would speak to it first. But this is an exciting day. I think today we see we get a chance to see just how transparent this current administration is going to be. Yeah, I'm trying to stay neutral and see for face value. We'll see what happens. I know there's a lot of challenges with t...
"Okay, this one's a pretty loaded topic. The prompt is asking, how do you deal with the constant deluge of negative news? And it was also asking about doom scrolling. I have to admit that I am a pretty big CNN junkie, and the older I get, I feel like I watch more of it. And to further complicate matters, I am pretty heavily invested in politics."
"Yes, I, I watch the, the stock market somewhat closely. Not, not as close as I probably should, but yeah, I'm very, very worried about my 401k. It's not a really, in the, in the greater scheme of things, it's not really large retirement nest egg, if you will, that I have. My wife and I both have 401ks that are hovering around $100,000 each."
"So by just targeting Tesla, that is not going to create as much results, especially because if you look at Elon's history, he's not one to back down and he's very unique about that and he's been very vocal about that as well. Final point I want to make is Tesla is absolutely necessary to fix the environment. Yes, there are competitors."
"I'm not sure if we're going to be able to vote our way out of this. I'm not sure that, you know, there's enough people of character left in Washington to do anything to stop the oligarchy that has consumed our country."
"You don't even know what I do for a living. So how can you pull, you know, my productivity and say, hey, yeah, she did all these things? What about the reporting to show that, yes, I hit all these metrics, I did all these things that I'm claiming that I did? I don't know. To me, it's like. I think it's just like a test."
"What I think is a bit amusing with this situation is that at least in my day to day life, I currently live in California. I don't think I've really encounter plastic paper straws anywhere. Like if I go to the coffee, like the coffee place, the straws are gonna be plastic. If I go to the movies, the straws are going to be plastic. If I go to 7:11, the straws are going to be plastic."
"Top of the day, my swell listeners. I would be remiss not to say anything about President's Day, although there may be some mixed feelings. There may be just a lot of talk about it even being a holiday in the United States. But it is another day off for most people and of course it is a time. Well, some people are reflecting on this day."
"There were countries where it was only the father, because only fathers historically could pass on last names, but had extended it to now include mother. So the only other option if you got rid of birthright citizenship would be basically by bloodline, which is a little interesting to consider because there were Native Americans, members of a legally nationally protected federal tribe th...
"And then you have forward slash, backslash, pound sign, percent sign, asterisk, and a few other plus, minus, em dash, en dash. But it's finite. It is the infinite possibility of arrangement that makes these imperfect people sitting in rooms coding things that are dismantling our person kind. Some of us don't even know how to speak our own language. I'm a proofreader and editor, among...
"Well, first of all, one of those messages was, drake, go sit down somewhere. But he more importantly wanted to tell the culture, rap culture, hip hop, black culture, we can't sit back and let the culture be guided for us. The culture has been diluted. It's been watered down, it's been made digestible for the masses. And it's a numbers game, really."
