Work is work. I have worked in a number of jobs from road work to civil service jobs and in each of them the work has been done through cooperation and the very basic need to earn a living.
However, on every occasion, there have been a plethora of absolute arseholes within the workforce: racists, misogynists, malignant narcissists, violent sociopaths, misanthropes, religious and political crackpots, deranged conspiracy theorists and all manner of socially abrasive individuals; all of which, who under no circumstances, would I or did I, associate with outside the workplace.
Iām retired now, and so I get to choose who I associate with. And I no longer waste any time or exhaust any energy on people I dislike. Lifeās to short.
Just got these in. They are GPS trackers. They also have a Bluetooth disconnect alarm, so as soon as the iTag moves out of range it sounds an alarm on my phone. Iāve bought them for my grandson Oliver when we go out in public. Slip one in his pocket or backpack, safe in the knowledge I can find him immediately. Not quite Big Brother, but Protective Pops.
Obviously, you should always know where your children are. However, with having three children, keeping track of them all in a busy playground was quite a task. Having a device which instantly alerts you if they move out of range is a godsend. Many years ago, whilst walking through or busy town centre, my youngest son peeled off to look in shop window. He had been missing for only a few seconds, but due to the crowds, had disappeared from sight. The panic which ensued was the worst few minutes of my life (even dying on my living room floor wasnāt as terrifying). I found him after a couple of minutes with his nose pressed firmly against the Disney store window. He got a telling off, and I got a right royal bollocking off my wife.
I donāt know what they use. You simply pair the Tag with the phone in the iSearching App and it tracks off the GPS. The proximity alert is run on Bluetooth and triggers as soon as the Tag is out of range 10-15 meters depending obstructions.
They are tracking it with the help of other iphones in the vicinity that has bluetooth and/or position turned iirc. Same with the google version, in the US where iphones are more popular it does mean that their version will be a lot better though.
See.. the dumb-ass woman blurts right out with Pro-Palestine, Fuck Israel brainwash mantra. She knows not one shred of truth or fact. Literally the dumbest creatures on the planet. Dude gracefully schools them all. Good for him.
Probably down to the UN/WEFs wish to impose world governance and its Agenda 2030 but it seems the eastern side of the world has either ignored or not signed up to that lunacy.
Its why the west opened its borders all at the same time in sync. World media is also in on the game (see Trusted News Initiative). Id say the far East is the best place to sit and watch the western shit show play out. Itās going to be one hell of a ride.
If you just avoid social media and news altogether, the US is still shockingly normal, especially outside of the biggest cities. Most people just donāt give a single fuck about all that shit the news pushes. Itās all so manufactured and overblown, and not to mention objectively staged in a lot of occasions. Itās not a conspiracy theory that paid protesters exist and get bussed around the country to protest all kinds of different causes, itās fact. Most people went through the phase of āIāll just let everything slide because itās not really in my ecosphere and it doesnāt effect meā and once it all got out of control, people have started pushing back against all the nonsense. Even the most liberal people I know are starting to come back to reality and realize thereās limits to what we should allow as a society and I feel like thereās glimpses of common sense starting to show up every once in a while again in the media which is a huge step forward lol.
I feel like we finally hit the tug-of-war phase in society where people just want normal back, but so much ground was lost before normal even picked up the rope that itās gonna take some time to pull back. I think one of the most important things that needs to happen is that people need to stop defining their self image online and part of that is just a symptom of streamers and social media influencers and people being used as walking advertisements for an overly consumerist market being praised like theyāre idols or role models and thatās gone on for so long itās become normalized. The internet has opened up every person to be forced to compare themselves to the richest people on earth constantly instead of just comparing themselves to real people in the real world and I feel like itās made people go insane trying to stand out. Itās getting rarer and rarer that kids (or even adults) have hobbies they actually commit to and itās mostly because theyāre chronically online. I get sucked into it all the time and have to just close all my tabs and go listen to music or build something so I donāt accidentally get pulled back in. Iāve been going insane not working lately because of the amount of accidental time spent online and every time I just totally avoid the internet and go do something, itās like a weight is lifted immediately. I havenāt had any ārealā social media like facebook or instagram or anything in 20 years, only things like forums and reddit, which I mostly just will drop a comment every now and then, not usually making any real posts and even with the limited amount of social media Iāve had, the internet is still so littered with garbage that just being online in general still has enough of this trash in front of me to put me in a shitty mood. But the real world is still out there chugging along and itās nowhere near as bad as the media would have you think it is. Most people donāt have a fuck to give, they have their own shit going on. The loudest people on all these social topics are the most brainwashed and also the most covered in media by a colossal margin but they donāt exist in the real world. Itās really odd to me that people have become so divided that they can defend literal terrorist organizations just because the other side hates them. I hate that religion is becoming MORE common in the world, but even though I think all religions are wrong, I think Islam is the most wrong and doing the most harm with Israelās direct and indirect action and influence being a close fucking second place. Foreign influence in the US needs to be almost entirely cut off, starting with AIPAC. Policies and elections need to involve US citizens interests alone and all these NGOs masquerading as innocent fundraisers in politics taking in foreign money need to be completely wiped out and exposed with everyone involved being thrown in prison, not just banned. Electoral college apportionment should not include anyone but US citizens, non citizens donāt get a say in a country they canāt be bothered to get citizenship in and every immigrant friend I have feels the same way and hates that everyone wants a free pass that took them years to get just so they can live off social security and welfare. NOBODY has any problems with immigration in the US, literally nobody. Itās the ILLEGAL immigration that is the massive problem. The US is a great country but itās being exploited by every possible fucking place right now, including from within, and I think thatās starting to come to an end and as a country weāre just too involved in the rest of the worlds business and vice versa. But most importantly, the media is almost entirely fiction at this point and for some reason itās shaping society and causing literally 110% of the turmoil and some of the worst parts are that other countries are believing and pushing US media and it just makes it look even worse from the outside when the reality is that shit is mostly fine everywhere.
