It's terrifying that I need 2-5 step verifications to reach some new academic research (that comes with warnings that future testing is needed!) but there's infinite no of conspiracy amplifiers 1 click away on any social media. That's not free speech, it's Idiocracy in real life.

Radicalizing people for advertising money is not only evil but a danger to our future survival. It's not just Jones, also antivaxers, flatearters, all sorts of cults, porn&gore animations on YTkids, so pretty much all it's becoming more harmful than helpful. What is the answer?Dk

What is your opinion on Logan Paul?-the youtuber who stumbles upon a suicide victim and shows it to his mostly adolescent followers bc it's sensational and makes fast views; his video was taken down, he was also shut down by YT (temp or permanent, not sure).

Alex Jones, the guy who called Sandy Hook shooting a hoax, same person who started Pizzagate is no longer given a free megaphone? Good, we don't need to give the microphone to the village crazy in order to prove we have free speech. No one stops him from getting his own site=free

Paying for every service would increase the divide between lower & higher wealth families exponentially with each generation, getting more and more ppl under poverty line without any chance of exit (with higher child mortality & more children\family, paradoxically).

Patrick Stewart will give us another round of Capt Jean-Luc Picard via #StarTrek. Make it so!

BigHistoryProject.com it's also a good place to start tracking history knowledge (specially if you want to share the info with youngsters)

Roads and sanitation are also cool. Replace "the Romans" with "government" and we get closer to the full picture https://youtu.be/Y7tvauOJMHo

Fun fact: upon testing the ivory pieces from the Bronze Age, scientists realized 90% of it is from hippos, which is strange because they're no hippos in Levant (Syria)...Not anymore, anyway.

Charming place. Any interesting legends about the island?

TIL about the globalized world of the Bronze Age: 700 years before invention of money there were commercial routes linking the mines in Siria with nowadays Egypt, Cyprus, even Scandinavia. How could such a strong network fall? https://youtu.be/bRcu-ysocX4

Hope to see more of Horus, he looks like a character

It really does grow on you (peepeth), pretty much like Tim describes the process here https://youtu.be/frNpdG4F9mw

Short expo on modern tribalism and how we look for our own tribe much like our ancestors https://mymodernmet.com/punk-island-david-burlacu-photography/

Peepeth doodlig & listening to what experts predict about the future of our penguin buddies (not optimistic about the impact of climate change on any of these species).

I took it as a challenge to up my game in photography, and it also encourages to be selective about which pics to put online - so I decided to post max 1 picture/day and in the end is more than enough even when I want to share pics with family.

Vsco is my favorite: with a higher quality of the pictures, and their own fast editing options (I sure was glad to escape the pink&purple insta-filters!). Really nice app if you are interested in photography (amateur or professional).

They are great indeed, but I was hoping to learn a new trick 😅. I'm also using datacamp, memrise & duolingo for entry-level lessons; cost-free & enjoyable, other really good resources.

I'm in love with #KhanAcademy, really the best place to brush up highschool lessons. What is your favorite online edu source, peepeth?

Thanks for reminding me about it, very handy feature indeed.

It's great that internet gives everyone a voice (sometimes even a megaphone!), But whoever went to a karaoke night knows that not everybody should get the microphone 😅

It's a grim future we build every day we put (any)ideologies above decency and helping each other.

QED

A self-identifying "critic of islam" young lady goes to a predomly muslim neighborhood and tries her best to show Islam into a bad light. Nothing happens really, but she declares free speech & Islam as incompatible. And we also know where this type of rationalizing is going :(

First "hate speech disguised as freedom of opinion" peep. Does hate really fill any emptiness inside, or is it just bc controversy makes for easy views & money?

There's something very satisfying in this pattern, taking in the theme & contrasts #ilke

Very interesting initiative #Trudia, l will follow with much interest. I noticed initiatives for rating credibility of news or official statements (Washington Post, factual.ro), wondering how effective are for general public?

Is there a Hobbes around peepeth too? Btw this is my fav comics, any creative ppl relating to it?

If value creation would be appreciated more than the appearance of a trend we would pay teachers more than we pay foto-models. Of course this lack of judgement transfers into our digital world.

German is for connecting with new friends, Python for new colleagues.

Starting lessons in German and Python, wonder which will be easier to get fluent in. They say it takes around 9 months to get comfy using a new language, what's your experience PPers?

Urban development and history are very sexy topics on their own, but together it deserves an enso 🎑

Private land is in a category of its own - need agreement from owner if possible, but if you are in a wild area of safe country just use common sense and be gentle with the land you camp on.

Btw it's not camping if you don't stay more than 1 night & if you don't start a fire; stealth camp is called bivuac and it's not legislated (so it can't be illegal) 😇

Pickup lines from a 7yo boy (approaching a new girl):
B: Hi, do you like cats?
G(irl): Yes...
B: Do you like PokemonGo?
G:Yes!
B: Do you like me?
G:Yes...?

I really like the # while loading peepeth, but where can I search these suggestions? #transcendence #legacy #purpose etc
