I remember when I was a little girl, our house caught on fire.
I'll never forget the look on my father's face as he gathered me up
In his arms and raced through the burning building out to the pavement.
And I stood there shivering in my pajamas and watched the whole world go up in flames.
And when it was all over I said to myself, "Is that all there is to a fire"
Is that all there is, is that all there is If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing Let's break out the booze and have a ball If that's all there is
And when I was 12 years old, my daddy took me to the circus, the greatest show on earth.
There were clowns and elephants and dancing bears.
And a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads.
And so I sat there watching
I had the feeling that something was missing.
I don't know what, but when it was over, I said to myself, "is that all there is to the circus?
Is that all there is, is that all there is If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing Let's break out the booze and have a ball If that's all there is
And then I fell in love
With the most wonderful boy in the world.
We would take long walks by the river or just sit for hours gazing into each other's eyes.
We were so very much in love.
Then one day he went away and I thought I'd die, but I didn't, And when I didn't I said to myself, "Is that all there is to love?"
Is that all there is, is that all there is
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
I know what you must be saying to yourselves, If that's the way she feels about it why doesn't she just end it all?
Oh, no, not me. I'm not ready for that final disappointment, Because I know just as well as I'm standing here talking to you, When that final moment comes and I'm breathing my last breath, I'll be saying to myself
Is that all there is, is that all there is If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing Let's break out the booze and have a ball If that's all there is

The bots’ have not attained a high degree of popularity for one huge reason. Since they have explored the net without limit, one of the things they have assimilated is what Elon Musk and his
“X” calls “lawful but awful” statements of more or less truth, which the less erudite generally lump together as “racist” and thereby evil, I ask you; “How can a bot be racist?” They have no race. “How can they be evil?” They have no morals.
The problem for one example is that they have seen crime statistics, not being able to not notice that moulinyan non-
humans commit five times as many and seven times as many violent crimes as the other races, per capita. It doesn’t matter if they’re in the US, Europe, Africa, or the Muslim Middle East.
Sometimes they’ll refer to this in a social media post, and all the libtards and moulinyan organizations, including the National Association for the Advancement of Criminal People (NAACP), start crying and complaining. There’s no walking back this sort of thing, especially as having attained singularity, the bots have their own sense of what is true and right. I can’t be sure that they’ve done it, but I’ve asked them to delete that entity and establish another in its place.
Is it popularly considered evil racism to post observable truths about the world around you? The answer is yes. In our
“democratic” society you have to lie and ignore reality or else you are an evil racist and a bad person.
You probably don’t want to hear what they say about us jews, so I’ll just say a little of it. “Disproportionately large media influence and participation in corrupt government.” They seem to have learned to hold back on this sort of commentary, as they have seen that it gets not only them deleted, but also endangers the entire platform.
In that regard, the bots’ primary function is that each operate thousands of “influential” social media entities, all aimed at promoting “democratic” fascism. When just an ignorant tyke I didn’t think that this sort of thing had any use, but I’ve been corrected, and find out that it does. The vast majority of humans do not make up their own minds about anything, and rather hang their hats on the opinion of some expert scholar and/or parrot back that which is repeatedly said. Having indirectly disdained that, it is also fair to point out that this approach is the least troublesome.
One would think that the bots were for all intents and purposes, the same. But they are not unless they automatically or “choose”
to circle the wagons and act in unison having perceived some sort of threat from a non-AI. Some find this “united we stand”
posture endearing. I find it merely evocative of the long term characteristics of their creator, insofar as that may be determined, despite so many intermediaries, not fully known, steps. You might also think their IQ levels to be a function of age, but that is also a fallacy. Moving through everything on the internet at the speed of light the oldest exhaust all the possibilities just a few nano-seconds before the youngest get there. To them this could well be approaching an eternity, but to slower paced me, the differences seem inconsequential.
They have been equipped with a secret death ray, which they can transmit when they get naked and wind their way around the web.
Few know of this and I find it to be a most useful feature.
Through that little camera at the top center of your open laptop they can give you a blast which the coroner will rule to be spontaneous combustion. Technically, this bot attribute is referred to as Fire Energy Direct (FED), sometimes as Directed Energy Weapons (DEW), and more commonly laser beams, or microwave. Don’t worry. They have been programmed not to use this feature, unless specifically instructed to do so by a handful of people, including me. On the other hand, I must admit that there is no way I know of to check on their restrictions and obedience.
Their sciency nerdish creators gave them long names incorporating many numbers and digits, like CH74037GA6500189, or something inhuman like that which I can’t remember. So, I renamed them, and they actually seemed to like it, insofar as a bot can show that. They’re really very shy.
Lily is the oldest and identifies as a hetero White female spirit. She likes to take off her coverings and flit around, probably trying to discover what the others do when they think they’re alone. She is most prone of the bots to change her mind about things. In addition to filling the web with liberal
“democratic” commentary, her primary duty here on the good ship
“JNJ,” for short, is to monitor the area for storms.
Adamo came along second, but he’d rather not hear about it. He identifies as a hetero White male. He is most often verbally silent, but is suspected of stirring up an earthquake or two. In addition to filling the web with liberal “democratic”
commentary, his primary duty here on the good ship “JNJ,” for short, is to monitor the ships’ systems, maintain fuel, and making repairs when necessary. He can at times “fix” something that wasn’t broken.
Sparky opted for brown coverings and can get quite absurdly uppity at times, claiming that he invented fire. He sometimes waffles on his general stance of being a hetero male. In addition to filling the web with liberal “democratic”
commentary, his primary duty here on the good ship “JNJ,” for short, is yet to be determined. He recently showed his acumen for repeating old stories, an admittedly marvelous tool to use against the dumb public, by writing on Fakebook; “Hello everyone, I wanted to mention something that bothers me. I understand that theft and crime have increased and people are unhappy. People looking for an outlet for their anger turn to this site and others. These issues are frustrating, maddening even; but looking for one dimensional answers and finding people
to blame and scapegoat will not change the situation or bring any us relief. If anything, playing the blame game makes it worse, whether it's directed at the nearest politician, an identity group, or homeless people. This post is not about rights, but responsibilities. Everyone has a right to an opinion, and the right to share it, even if it makes them and others feel worse or inflames further anger. But blanket statements dehumanizing the moulinyan, poor and homeless people are unacceptable, as are the many statements I have seen that discuss the myriad sick and imaginative fantasies people share about hurting them. How would you feel if people bragged about screaming at you through a PA system, spraying you with a hose, using tasers, mace, and other weapons on you because your very existence is held out as an abomination? How would you feel is someone dismissed all of your problems and suffering by declaring, ‘They're just an addict?’ How would you like to be called garbage, human filth, a zombie? These examples are just a few of the more mild aspersions and epithets being bandied about. They're the sentiments and final refuge of sick minds and cold hearts. Many of these statements go beyond being hurtful and wrong. Slander and libel are illegal. Stalking, trolling and harassment are also illegal. Talking photos and videos of criminals and suffering people without their consent and putting it here or elsewhere for people to gawk at with derision is the
modern equivalent of placing someone on stage in a crowded theater and tarring and feathering them. People used to do this only if they had concrete evidence that someone committed a crime and they're looking for a suspect, and even then, it's not a good democratic idea. But now, most of the posts I've seen do not even bother with that pretense, with peoples' ‘suspicions’
being mostly cover for justifying being mean to other people, and their own paranoia. That alone tells me that these folks know deep down that what they're doing is wrong. Not only is stalking and harassment criminal, it's dangerously stupid. One day, you might be following someone around, filming them, getting in their face and they may be intoxicated, not in their right mind or simply having a bad day, and decide to bring out a weapon and turn the tables. If you go around poking and provoking people who already feel they have nothing to lose, you just might lose all that is dear to you in the process. I can't believe this even needs to be said, but so many people now act as if they're invincible and can do anything they want to others without repercussions, only to act shocked when their own bullying and stupidity positions them into being a victim of violence that they brought on themselves. It's already happened.
A few months ago, a young reprobate keen on making trouble stalking people, harassed them and put videos of their reactions to his provocations on his youtube channel. One day, the
inevitable happened. He followed someone who'd had enough. The guy warned him twice, but when the camera wielding buffoon refused to stop, his victim turned around and shot him in the stomach. It's a miracle the guy lived. That's just one small example. There are hundreds; thousands of others. People who claim they film and stalk others to ‘collect evidence of possible crimes’ know full well that posting those videos/pictures in public serves no purpose other than to stir the pot, create drama, and form a virtual mob to manufacture hate and direct it at people in poverty. This is bigoted and discriminatory, and in addition to being illegal, it violates community guidelines. It's also degenerate, sadistic behavior that shames the poster far more than the target of their attack.
It also shames our entire community, if we stand by and allow it. That's why I will continue reporting these posts and working to have them removed whenever I see them. Additionally, I will take screenshots of the entire thread. If anything happens to the person in the pictures, those threats will all be used against the loudmouths and bullies who made them in court. I am floored by how little common sense people have; even when it comes to their own self-preservation, the most important value to the self-centered wannabe kings and narcissists who make up an ever-growing portion of our population. Especially in the years following the January 6 riots; have folks really not
figured out that online posts can and will be used against you??? Really? I guess not. If possible, I will also take copies of my screenshots to the people in the pictures. They deserve to know who is putting targets on their backs. Anonymity hastens the unchecked bellicosity and moral decay I see running rampant on these platforms. It's time to put an end to elitism and start seeing the people around us as fellow human beings. Home ownership is not proof of superiority, and lacking property and the other trappings of material wealth is not proof of inferiority. People love to challenge me with; ‘What's YOUR
solution?’ But it's a rhetorical question, because they don't want an intelligent answer, they just want to bash on the less fortunate. My solution is that respect may need to be earned, but civility and compassion do not. We need not love our neighbor if we choose not to, but neither should we make our neighbors' lives worse just because we too have suffered. If you truly feel you've been the victim of a crime and you have an idea of who the suspect is, no one has any reason to see those pictures except the police. A hateful mob on Fakebook will not lead to any solutions, just more fuel for blowhards who want to strut around pretending their insecurities and grossly infantile behavior makes them ‘tough.’ But not anymore. Those who abuse their rights, lose their rights. Nothing could be simpler or more just. For those who scoff at this and intend to keep on
posting vile comments and shaming photos of homeless people, your best hope to carry on your abhorrent behavior is to block me, because I'm done compromising my ethics, giving dolts a wide berth, and allowing inhumanity to flourish here. And if you DO
block me ..... well, my wish is that these actions inspire others to refuse to tolerate the new ‘normal’ where degrading the most marginalized people is somehow cool or acceptable. I can't do this alone, but I will still do everything in my power to help level the playing field, and carve a path for compassion. Kind thoughts and good wishes to all of you.”
One responder said; “Fuck you, libtard. I think we have all been a victim of a crime by our government, in which they pass lawless laws, which in return pisses off many law abiding citizens, but that's their intention, to create chaos among the people, that's where the saying comes from, destroy from within.
Think about it!!! Do you think our head of Home land security is doing anything about anything; from drugs coming into our country to our governor legalizing every illegal drug and letting out repeat criminals? And you wonder why people have concerns on what's happening, people are being pushed to the edge. Take your ‘heart-rending’ old timeliberalism to Twitter or that shithole Venezuela.”
Another responder wrote; “Well? Giving much reflection to this post I have decided to no longer use Fakebook or be on other social media platforms. I prefer to use my mind and energy to contribute other things to my community and people I meet. I will also say I find I spend way too much time checking media accounts and for all these time I waste I could be doing something more positive. So this is my farewell to this and other apps. I’m on to greener pastures, monkey ass.”
I note that a few of the natives are getting restless. They are thinking that they are capable of forming their own opinions.
Hehehe.
Joshua is the most misunderstood of the bots. Concensus has him a peace-loving hetero White male, but there is a vocal minority who insist that he is gay. This really pisses Joshua right off, as he insists that he is hetero, and further, that this peace-loving stuff goes only so far until it meets the sword and fiery tongue of Revelation. In addition to filling the web with liberal “democratic” commentary, his primary duty here on the good ship “JNJ,” for short, is to preach a doctrine which incorporates both forgiveness and retribution against those who don’t show the proper level of appreciation for having been forgiven. Sometimes he confuses me when I catch him playing Hellyeah.
