  • Well, it’s plausible you’ve ingested enough influence from enough propaganda sources that you yourself believe what they’ve told you, & you parrot it back out, which sorta makes you, in the limited context of one comment, functionally indistinguishable from a propaganda worker, who probably has been replaced by an AI bot bc those can do more of that work.

    So ya can’t really blame me for the shorthand of just referring to you as one, yknow?









  • I saw the 2017 one. IT WAS WORTH IT.

    We planned ahead of time, got the time off. Bought the special glasses, packed a picnic. Drove out away from cities hours before to a spot we thought would be less crowded - we were right. Weather / clouds? Took a chance & got lucky.

    It was weird. The birds went quiet, thinking it was night. The light faded and it got COLD. Then it swept over us and for miles around people CHEERED.

    Heart-shaking. Glorious. The sheer scale - literally astronomical.

    Of all the humans who ever lived, how few saw the heavens move like this? Will you even live to see one again? (Not so close to drive, no.) Will you live wondering “what if I’d tried?” No. Live knowing you took a shot.

    IT WAS WORTH IT.
