Notorious Dissident

@jayroo69 do you think it was supposed to be Shepardz, but they misspelled it?

Behold "Mitocondria Sheparzd Tisby". I'm told in prison she was a real powerhouse in her cell.

@SoveyX how do you know she's not my current ex?

@Pete694200 hope you're ok dude

DON’T WASTE YOUR ONE LIFE DON’T WASTE YOUR ONE LIFE DON’T WASTE YOUR ONE LIFE DON’T WASTE YOUR ONE LIFE DON’T WASTE YOUR ONE LIFE DON’T WASTE YOUR ONE LIFE DON’T WASTE YOUR ONE LIFE

@Pete694200 Congrats!

Today is the first time since I was 18 that I can say I’ve not had a drink, nor smoked nor chewed tobacco, in a full week. Feels a bit odd, but so does being alive after being clinically dead for two minutes 😅 #changes

@a4DLife haha indeed!

@OldGoldTooth13 Hopefully, we'll respond with some long overdue humility and respect. 🫡💕

As the White House drops the latest UAP update, some wonder about God's hand in all this. Let's consider Earth as just one masterpiece in God’s vast portfolio. It would seem extremely egotistical for mankind to think we are the only human type of creation in God's vast universe. As any artist or creator would do, one work leads to the next and to a portfolio of many creations over time. With eternity and God's incredible capacity to create, more improved versions seem likely. “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” — Psalm 19:1 What new possible wonders await our understanding? #UAPDisclosure #BiblicalCreation #GodsMasterpiece

@UZIPETRUZZI @LibertyCappy fair enough! linux is free though fyi

@OldGoldTooth13 @LibertyCappy I’m kinda retarded. And lazy. Plus I’ve already got windows Os on my laptop and desktop. Maybe if I have money someday I’ll try it someday. For now I’ll just keep it for playing games that aren’t on ps or Xbox.

Was PC the way to go all along? 👀👀

@LibertyCappy yes

@UZIPETRUZZI @LibertyCappy there are linux builds for gaming :D

@LibertyCappy If I didn’t hate windows OS so much I’d go all in on pc gaming.

@Ductape_00 @MelonieMac @Ishofarabia I'm not both sidesing. I'm claiming that some people are wrong about what the sides are. It's exactly what benefits our politicians; we don't get mad at them, we get mad at each other. I am claiming that the government acts as a unified side, against the people, quite often.

@OldGoldTooth13 @MelonieMac @Ishofarabia Both sidesing the issue like you do is one of the worst things you can do. MAGA is angry at institutions? Maybe because MAGA politicians and leaders have built careers flagrantly LYING about what the issues even are. Outrage built off lies, the talking heads are at fault.

This had to be said.... (ft. @Ishofarabia)

The biggest threat to our country right now isn't the 1% Muslim population, I agree. But it also isn't MAGA folks. The real issue is that Democrats and Republicans are only ostensibly partisan. In practice, both parties protect the same corrupt and entrenched system: spiraling national debt, endless foreign wars, surveillance expansion, corporate bailouts, and a revolving door with lobbyists. The abuses aren't exclusively on one side. Rather, they are systemic. If you're paying close attention, it's hard to fully trust any of the major factions in Washington. Our government has increasingly served itself over the people for decades. Even with January 6th, the deeper problem wasn't that some MAGA supporters got rowdy. It was that institutional anger and distrust have been building on all sides for years, yet only one side's version ever gets treated as legitimate. Maybe the left should try to understand what MAGA's concerns are, and maybe find some common ground? As an observer, I know it definitely exists. It's just that one side hates having dialogue because it thinks it knows that the other side is evil (which is preposterous, and has been the entire time). Highly recommend checking out @MikeBenzCyber 's work. He has tracked systemic government abuse, and how it operates, in a clear and functional way that should appeal to people of all political leanings.

@MelonieMac @Ishofarabia The biggest threat to our country right now isn’t the 1% Muslim population. It’s the MAGAts in power at this very moment that are the antithesis of what America stands for. Rule of law. Conceding elections, freedom of the press. Balances of power. An example to the world. Losers

@SoveyX 100% agree

Every time I hear the phrase “live laugh love,” I think about how much I want to fight the person who said it first.

@MichaelGuiette @r0ck3t23 battery technology has been a chokepoint of technological progress for a while now, in many areas, including renewables. it's an energy density/capacity problem.

And Elon said it plainly so that everyone can understand. That being said, why are EV companies still limited to 300 miles on a charge and costs continue to go up? Is it the technology is just not there or is it because they have just gone to sleep? #ElonMusk #tesla #BYD #Lucid

Elon Musk just exposed the one lie every modern nation tells itself. Musk: “In 1969, we were able to send somebody to the moon.” Rotary phones. Computers the size of rooms. Slide rules. We put a human on the moon with less processing power than your watch. Musk: “Then the space shuttle retired, and the United States could take no one to orbit.” The most advanced nation in human history went from footprints on the moon to zero capability of leaving the atmosphere. That is not a funding problem. That is civilizational decay dressed up as a policy decision. Musk: “People are mistaken when they think that technology just automatically improves… it will, by itself, degrade.” That sentence should keep you up tonight. We treat progress like gravity. Like it pulls us forward whether we try or not. It is the opposite. Progress is a boulder on a hill. The second you stop pushing, it rolls back over you. And it never announces itself. Musk: “You look at great civilizations like ancient Egypt, and they were able to make the pyramids, and they forgot how to do that.” They did not run out of stone. They were not conquered. They got comfortable. And the knowledge bled out so quietly that nobody noticed until it was already gone. That is the real threat to everything we have built. Not a nuclear flash. Not an asteroid. Not some dramatic Hollywood collapse. A quiet forgetting. Every chip we fabricate. Every rocket we launch. Every data center we power. All of it held together by a thin fraction of the population working at a pace that would break most people. The moment that fraction gets tired or outnumbered by people who believe the machine runs itself, everything dissolves. And here is the part nobody wants to say out loud. We are not special. We are running the same operating system as every civilization that came before us. Comfort is the sedative. Complacency is the flatline. One generation that stops fighting is all it has ever taken. You do not lose the future in a war. You lose it in your sleep.

@elonmusk "because the highly feminized organization is not friendly to his virtues and attributes." The words she was avoiding were "sexism," "prejudice," and "discrimination."

@jayroo69 milk is for babies

We need to study the correlation between villains and milk

@Pete694200 At least the finish line is in sight :D

@OldGoldTooth13 Amen! It’s weirdly addictive - the challenge of it all. I’m finishing my MBA thesis course soon so it’s going to be a big headache until then, but we’ll get there :)

@Pete694200 @grey4626 I'll help!

I kept getting in a cycle where grok says not enough people see things to move, I have to open a ticket, they see the evidence and say they can’t help, and I think it comes down to me having too many followers that have literally never actually contributed or posted anything original. As a result, I think perhaps I’ll be trimming down and trying to streamline to accounts I KNOW are solid and try to rebuild? We’ll see! I appreciate the support and the work you put in.

To the quiet constellation of souls who have chosen to stand with me...here on X, and over on my Substack...thank you. In a world that grows louder and more fractured by the day, your presence is a rare and deliberate act of grace. You read not merely for entertainment, but for resonance. You linger not for spectacle, but for substance. You support not out of fleeting impulse, but from a deeper recognition: that ideas still matter, that language still holds power, and that thought, when sharpened with care, can cut through the noise. Whether you’ve left a thoughtful reply, shared a piece that moved you, or quietly become a subscriber on Substack, you’ve become part of something I hold in high regard...an invisible community bound not by trends or tribalism, but by a shared appetite for clarity, depth, and unhurried reflection. I do not take your attention, your time, or your support for granted. Each one of you is a quiet affirmation that there remains a place for the measured voice, the long sentence, the patient argument, and the refusal to descend into the banal. I will always say, and I mean this wholeheartedly... You are some of the most beautiful people I've ever crossed digital pathways with. Truly. From the depths of my heart, I offer my sincere and enduring gratitude. With respect, appreciation, and love... Grey. 💀🖤💋

@CryptoTyranus @otokyo__ encyclopedia Britannica! Encarta as well, on CD ROM :D

Very few people OWNED an encyclopedia, dictionaries too. You mostly found those in schools and libraries. Though I think i did technically own a small dictionary, so if that counts the only ones im missing are. 16 and 19. I also didn't do anything with a fax machine until 2008. So thats kinda borderline.

6 for me!! I feel confident nobody Has all 20 How many for you?
