GETTR?

I have no idea if this belongs in Politics, Social Issues, Technology, or humor.

The Trump team has launched a social media app, named GETTR. Its mission statement?

Quote:

The platform, called GETTR, advertised its mission statement as “fighting cancel culture, promoting common sense, defending free speech, challenging social media monopolies, and creating a true marketplace of ideas.
From the rumors it's pretty much just twitter v2.0, but kind of looks like an old geocities site, and twitter had a baby. I won't be joining, but I can't figure out what the acronym is supposed to be. Miller is the one running it so I'm sure it's something terrible.

Person who brought the packs of tortillas to the game insists it wasn't motivated by racism.

LAPD detonates large explosion in residential area trying to dispose of fireworks.

17 Injured, 3 Seriously, After Planned Detonation Of Seized Illegal Fireworks Ends In Explosion

Quote:

Seventeen people were injured Wednesday evening after a planned detonation of seized illegal fireworks ended in an explosion in South Los Angeles.

In a tweet, LAPD said “officers were in the process of seizing over 5,000 pounds of illegal fireworks in the area of 27th Street and San Pedro. Some of the fireworks were being stored in our Bomb Squad trailer as a precautionary measure. Unknown at this time what caused an explosion.”


Unknown at this time what caused an explosion says cops who deliberately intended to detonate the explosives and obviously screwed it up.

Quote:

Reporters on the scene said immediately before the explosion officers moved them away from the vehicle and yelled, “Fire in the hole,” multiple times.

Plenty of news crews got the botched disposal and resulting explosion on video.

Good thing LAPD confiscated those fireworks, they can be dangerous in the wrong hands!

Begone sad Joker...wait, what?!.

Here, we keep it short and simple...where we can, cause…we ain’t gonna end with all those sad jokers!

“Who are the sad jokers”, and why all this fuss someone wonders?

Those who use their will to spread their sadness are sad jokers…

…cause they take the mind of others of all the joy…

…that something else than sadness comes…




“What?!”, someone may think here.

What I believe is that:

There are people throughout the history of humans…

And I understand it as:

very frequently male in gender, but fewer times also women, who use their will to spread their sadness…

And why I have to say that is as:

this is what I read in the history people wrote down over, and over, and…over…

And how I think about it, is that this happens:

because they believe that when they are sad, other people have to be sad as well, for them to feel better… but…

But this behavior doesn’t make sense to me because:

this isn’t what seems to be happening sad jokers!., as you don’t imagine stuff and stuff happens, stuff is happening, and you can imagine how that is.

And in case one wonders:

“So how can one imagine how stuff seems to be happening?”

And what I am afraid I have to say to the sad jokers is that:

if you are sad, what is happening to you, doesn’t necessarily happen to others, or you are imagining stuff…and expect them to happen…but…

And.. in the end:

if you want to have fun, you need patience to allow your body to feel fun, and you need to be careful as sometimes…it is more fun than what you can handle at that moment in your life…



“Well yeah, but sometimes it is less fun than I want, at that moment in my life!”, someone shouts back here…

That is also true, but…

1.When you are having a good time, it is just the right amount of fun…

2.And to find those times, I am afraid we come back to the beginning…

3.You need patience to have fun.




“No, No, No, you shall not write such stuff here!”, someone shouts back here angrily…

So… what if someone doesn’t understand and gets angry?.. I wonder, and I write back…

After one gets angry, some time has to pass for that one to relax, because if you REALLY think otherwise…

After one gets angry, some time doesn’t have to pass for that one to relax, but if you think this is REALLY ok for you…

If in the end, after one gets angry, some time doesn’t have to pass for that one to relax, it doesn’t seem to me that one isn’t constantly angry…does it seem to you…idiot?



“How dare you insult me, do you know who I am?”

Not really…



“I am POWERFUL, I am HOLLY, and I am WISE, and you can write nothing back here!”

Not really, here’s something for each of you…

Here’s something to all the “POWERFUL” ones

1.Powerful people are good at having others believe they are powerful. If others stop believing that, then powerful people become less powerful …quite quickly…

2.If powerful people lose all their powers…then…they don’t have any powers, and can’t have fun. When something else is happening, and others start forgetting how powerful, powerful people are, then…powerful people quickly try to remind them before everyone forgets…cause it goes back to 1…

3.Because of this, what is no one’s problem in society…becomes everyone’s problem in society. Why? Because some Jokers are sad and this is funny. Why? Cause others aren’t and they are useful to society.

And who am I?

I am no one I don’t know who the hell you think you are! Why?

Cause, you ain’t someone, and you ain’t fooling no one buddy!




And here’s something to all the “HOLLY” ones

1. Holly people are the ones who are good by default (good by default= as a given). Because they are good by default, if they say or do something, it can’t be bad. Because they can’t be bad, anything they say or do is fun in the end…

2. And…as anything they say or do is fun in the end, and people want to have fun, the holly people end up saying what happens next…cause it goes back to 1…

3. And…because what happens next, happens…well…next regardless…what is no one’s problem in society, becomes everyone’s problem in society. Why? Because some jokers are sad and this is funny. Why? Cause others aren’t and they are useful to society.

And who am I?

I am no one I don’t know who the hell you think you are! Why?

Cause, you ain’t someone, and you ain’t fooling no one buddy!




And here’s something to all the “WISE” ones

1.Sad Jokers spend time and effort to trade with others (trade=I do this for you, you do that for me, for whatever this and that is for the specific occasion and instance with the other you are trading with) , but they are not having fun. Because others spend time and effort to trade with others, plus have fun doing this , Sad Jokers need to become good at something else to make money. So they spend their time and effort on something else, on which they become efficient…

2.Because they become good at something else, their actions are not reducing the time and effort spend to trade, as… they spend their time and effort on something else. So, the money they make, is more efficient in reducing the time and effort spend on trading, than they are, and…the more money they make…the more time and effort needs to be spend on trading in society, and money in the end becomes inefficient for society…cause…

3. Because of this, what is no one’s problem in society…becomes everyone’s problem in society. Why? Because some Jokers are sad and this is funny. Why? Cause others aren’t and they are useful to society. How? By saying what money does…what’s that? Money reduces the time and effort people have to spend to trade with one another, this is what money does, and don't waste my time and effort any further...




Because in the end all you powerful, all you holly, and all you wise ones…

I don’t know what paradise you imagine…

…but from that paradise that you imagine, can you imagine this place here now where you imagined it from?..

…what does that mean? It means I don’t know what paradise you imagine, but in real paradise…even the devil is having fun…or you forgot someone, but God REALLY didn’t forget something to do, if God REALLY did everything…

…but be careful…cause the devil has a mother…but also don’t worry…MAMA in the end puts order.

…and who is MAMA you wonder…MAMA is the rest…what is the rest?.. the rest is all there is minus you…

…and who am I? I am no one I don’t know who the hell you think you are! Why?

…cause, you ain’t someone, and you ain’t fooling no one buddy!





P.s. “NO, NO, NO, I am a sad joker and want to read more, as I think I know what is really fun!”

“Now, you writing down all these stuff here no one, wait a minute…how can you…no one…write that God REALLY didn’t forget something to do, if God REALLY did everything?.. who are YOU to write that down?!.”

When one writes something down for the same God as the ones before one

When one writes something down for the same God as the ones before one, the ones before one did not write it down EXACTLY as the same God would want it to be written down, because if you REALLY think otherwise…

When one writes something down for the same God as the ones before one, the ones before one wrote it down EXACTLY as the same God would want it to be written down, but if you think this is REALLY ok for you…

If in the end, when one writes something down for the same God as the ones before one, and the ones before one wrote it down EXACTLY as the same God would want it to be written down, it doesn’t seem to me that...

GOD REALLY DIDN’T FORGET SOMETHING TO DO,

IF GOD REALLY DID EVERYTHING

...for the next ones who would like to write something down for the same God…does it seem to you…idiot?

And remember…idiot…

I am no one I don’t know who the hell you think you are! Why?

Cause, you ain’t someone, and you ain’t fooling no one buddy!




“No, no, no, you don’t know what funny is…the above isn’t funny as…funny changes…”

…:0…

\‘ | ‘/

Funny changes into what?!.

If funny changes into something that’s not funny, well it wasn’t funny to begin with, was it?

And if funny changes into something else, then after that…

…funny changes into something else…and after that…

…funny changes iNtO something else…and then after that…

…funny changes iNtO sOMethinG else…and then after that…

…then after that…you look stupid saying what changes…because

Funny and something else don’t change…funny is just something else than what you imagine…because

When something you imagine is really funny…well then…it has to REALLY be funny…and…

When something you imagine isn’t funny…well then…it REALLY isn’t worth our time and effort spend talking about it, unless we have to of course…

…and to save us from the boredom of ENDless talking…

When one imagines something

When one imagines something, something else is really happening around one, because if you REALLY think otherwise…

When one imagines something, something else isn’t really happening around one, but if you REALLY think this is ok…

If in the end, when one imagines something, something else isn’t really happening around one, it doesn’t seem to me where inside one imagines something…does it seem to you…idiot?




“No, No, No, what you write down is childish, and I know better!”

...and for god's sake sad jokers, don't try to be funny...you ain't funny yet I am afraid...

...but then again I could be wrong ;)...

...well, I guess we'll see if any of you can write something of any use, rather than



"Oh, no I don't like that, you can't write that, but I cannot explain why I don't like that, no you bad and stupid"

...yeah, yeah, and you are all honorable geniuses, sure

...how about your honor do us the honor and write something that the rest of us can, even if we don't like it...you know...

at least honor it...
