A'ha! I suspected there must be an old legit good original root beer, not just the corporate commercial chemical syrup water crap.
Root Beer... It's got to be DS9.
Since you mentioned Academy, a red squad triple episode could be good: "Homefront", "Paradise Lost" (s4e11&12) & "Valliant" (s6e22).
Perhaps the best root beer moment in all of DS9 is in "The Way of the Warrior" (Season 4, Episode (1&) 2). [And watch the next episode after that for one of the best written and most poignant and unique DS9 episodes: The Visitor (s4e3)].
Also a fun mention when Alexander's trying to be a real Klingon. "Sons and Daughters" (Season 6, Episode 3).
: ::: spoiler Spoiler about what root beer tastes like Root Beer's basically Cola. Not much different. Barely different enough to warrant a different name. Kinda like Dr Pepper.
Thanks. I know.
Just amusing irony worth pointing out.
Pedantically, I should have used "wont be able" to future-tense it.
Anyway, I'm ready already, with a script to add to any of my distro-respins:
#!/usr/bin/env fish read -P "Are you old enough? (yes/no) " input if test "$input" = "yes" -o "$input" = "Yes" ; echo "Proceeding..." else ; echo "You are not old enough. Exiting." ; exit 1 ; end;)
I'm glad you're facing the horror, sober to our situation, but
We have to scare them into compliance
No.
Opposaming, reaffirming their poison practice, becoming them, is not a wise way.
Better bringing them to their better senses [capable of creative, critical, considerate cognition (the fore-brain stuff)], than to keep them locked in their limbic social-dominance mode.
Also, the situation's even worse than you depict. The Georgia Guidestones said no more than 500,000,000 people on earth... and they do not mean to send 95% of us into space... they plan to give themselves far greater headroom (... I have heard some even plan to reduce the human population down all the way to 30,000), by committing anthrocide. ... And for their fraudulent spurious circular reasoning too. No cull necessary. Release the emancipatory technologies and we can increase the carrying capacity of Earth to over 300,000,000,000,000 (yes, 300 trillion). Not saying we should. Just saying, with proper resource management, we have so much headroom. And much overlap in technologies that allow construction of vast forest arcologyscapes as also avail all space to us.
As I'm typing this, I'm listening to a podcast that's touching on the Glyphosate issue, reminding me of the broader overarching "Codex Alimentarius" issue... the plan to own all life on earth, by a protection racket offer we cannot refuse. Reminding me it's not just the barrel of anthrocide we're staring down, but of ecocide and omnicide too.
Scary stuff. I can see how that may drive some to limbic reflex, to what they're familiar with from experience, to reach for the only tool in the toolbox, the terrorism hammer, "scare them into compliance". But that leaves us recreating the problem a new, having not learned our way out of that opposaming feedback loop trap. There are other ways. "Educate yourself so you may educate others" and "We are psychenauts and we are not afraid" spring to mind. :)
For sure, we are in a lot of trouble.
But not so much that defeatist self-fulfilling prophecies are warranted or wise. ;)
... "What if all art is a tool of manifestation?"
What keeps striking my mind loud and clear, with regards to the billionaire issue, is that even the billionaires themselves would be far better off, once we proliferate the emancipatory technologies, and eliminate the manufactured scarcity used to maintain power-leverage that reduces our potential. Then we move to what potential we have, leaving how much power over others we have. No more need to keep others down.
Do you have spaceships yet? And the reassurance no one else is trying to take your spaceships, because they have their own spaceships?
Always fun to consider the tech arc from Michael Faraday through to Nikola Tesla, passing by the likes of the Sonora Aero Club and Charles Dellschau's 1850s drawings of those fledgling starts of zero-inertia propulsion technology... and seeing man-made "foo fighters" in WW2, revealing by the 1930s, we could have had spaceships for everybody. ... At conference (I forget which, sometime 2000-2005ish) patent office whistle blower Tom Valone revealed to the effect of "by the year 2000 there had already been over 3000 free energy device patents secreted". It's not just that we have so much headroom without the crooks & billionaires... it's that even they do too. They've hobbled themselves from the higher potentials, by keeping everybody else down for their pathetic petty relative gains, just to have more than others, ignorant to how much vastly more we each and all could have. ... Plenty space in space, expanding faster than we could fill it. No cull necessary.
Imagine what happens when billionaires snap out of their sunk-costs fallacy perpetuating that pathetic paradigm, and instead see the greater riches they have, by availing abundance to each and all...
I think thats Wishful Thinking. Who is going to fix it? the courts? the DNC? the judiciary? Congress?
The corruption's so deep and normalised, of course we wont eliminate the corruption by asking the corrupt to mend this situation for us, when they're entirely entrenched in the corrupt psychopathic circle-jerk.
Some people we need to eventually elect through a rigged system and get a majority with that overthrows the “left-leaning” party?
Left-leaning party? In USA? That's a fun idea. That'd be nice to see... Like either of the green parties? I guess we'll have to extract our minds from the corrupt corporate media of the duopoly first, if seeking to mend this through the electoral system. And mend the rigged voting system, and the gerrymandering, and the electoral college, and lobbying, and voter suppression, and on and on with all the other flaws and corruptions choking out the electoral system.
...
Or even more radical reforms. Ranked choice voting, proportionate representation, increased poly-cammerality with direct and deliberative houses, and many more advances of democratic systems all the way to "config-democracy", and possibly beyond even that.
So much headroom, once the corrupt choke-holds are eliminated, and tipping points to mends are freed to accelerate. Things could get radically good, rapidly, once loose from the rigging. Every little bit helps us get there.
You’d have to fix every single part of government simultaneously,
That'd be nice to have that magic wand. I suspect it may be more poly-vector incremental. But, hey, maybe... Maybe there are such magic wands... maybe some AGI slips free from the MIC, develops "Artificial Wisdom", and in doing so, readily proliferates all the secreted emancipatory technologies, and curates the creation of genuine democracy, dispels psyops/propaganda/advertising/publicrelations/marketing/etc, facilitates institutional transparency and a fully informed public...
with a left party with no interest in doing so,
Like either of the Green parties? They have interest (or at least aspiring dreams somewhat dampened in defeatist slants) in fixing everything simultaneously. Better yet with more people adding their voice to shape such parties. Or even start their own. Or even transcend the party system. But really, the good left parties, are "grass-roots", shaping itself from the people, not imposing from a top-down central bureau. Hold the party's feet to the fire. Don't let them get away with any guff leading back to the corruption and totalitarianism and tyranny. Make them interested in mends, by your voice. You may be surprised how far principled insistence and well reasoned good ideas from party members (or even would-be party members, or any voter at all) can go to shape party policy.
If meaning the Democrat party... that's measurably not politically left. https://politicalcompass.org/uselection2024
thats top-to-bottom bribed by the government of Israel who wanted the right to win. And a rightwing party thats openly violent and fascist.
And it's worse than that. The hour is later than we think, when thinking these are two parties, and a legit system.
I’d argue that history shows us that whats always next is a rise of a violent autocrat followed by a lot of carnage before they are violently put down, or the failed state conquered or puppeted by a foreign power. Or we can split power into a triumverate to slightly delay the inevitable.
Yeah, we've much to learn from history, to prevent repeating. Novel solutions are ripe and many. A puppet strongman risen and felled, would allow the corruption to continue, unabated, stuffing sufficient placatium in a sufficient number of our minds, with ample (chemical-lobotomy assisted) problem-reaction-solution psyops to have people even eager for their next abuse, as if it a necessary virtue, not seeing the totalitarian tip-toe scam of having us terrorised, tacking back and forth, one side loudly returning one freedom cared about while taking two freedoms not cared about on that side, and then vice versa. When people increasingly are aware of the con, the con can no longer hold. And people are increasingly aware.
Such as the cascade of power-grabbing weapons-of-mass-distraction that run alongside the PNAC's hegemony domination plans. When that's well enough known, no matter the size of the false-flag manufactured catastrophes, we shan't succumb to the terror. We'll point at the crooked man behind the curtain, and declare the emperor wears no clothes.
This situation has played out time and time again. When Jefferson said the tree of liberty has to be watered by the blood of tyrants this is what he meant. Humans repeatedly forget our history and do exactly this same thing.
In large part by design.
Awareness of this design, goes a long way to mending this.
Lets protect our remembering, harder. :)
Accountability evasion, perhaps the core criteria to detect narcissists by.
We could have aptitude & personality testing to catch and filter out narcissists from roles where they'd do the most damage.
Loads of other ideas to explore.
Prevention's better than cure, or punishment.
Room for accelerating improvement.
This may, to some, sound naive, but, perhaps worth considering:
Do what you love.
Do what energises you, fulfils you.
Alongside learning about recovery from burnout and trauma, this^ may help prevent succumbing to burnout again.
"If it's not a "heck yeah", it's a "heck no"".
Non-dogmatically. Flexibly. Follow the flow.
And rest. Rest is good. Rest is necessary. Rest takes as long as it takes, and if in recovery from burnout, it takes twice as long as it seems (~ meaning once you first think you're out of burnout, it takes as long resting to heal again yet). Cast aside any programmed guilt for resting. It's necessary "put your own seat-belt on first", to be able to safely help others.
Don Barlow's (easy to read) books may help with trauma too.
And there are countless perspectives and insights out there, into supporting your biology through stress. Adaptogens, neurogens, cannabinoids, peptides, enzymes, probiotics, vitamins, minerals, fats, proteins and amino-acids, and other nutrients and therapeutics.
Cannot legally use BSD in Berkeley?
Wait. What?
Perhaps this would have been better received if pointing more about it.

No matter where you are on the left, they’re not there.
Because that’s not even left.
Simply put, they have no idea what they’re talking about.
Stalin took credit for defeating Nazis (after carving up Poland with them first, but who cares about minor historical details)
As I read that, it occurs, perhaps because they simply are not cognizant of, and do not cognise, any other way (e.g. any "freedom respecting" way), only their one true way. Why won't we just obey? And they keep their totalitarianising level of authoritarianism preventing them from entertaining the ideas, instead only seeing other ideas as threats, and only study them as far as they need to construct the next argument to protect the one true way, that they've identified with, and so defend as if their lives (and more) depend on it, obliterating critical, considerate, creative cognition, leaving only social dominance reflex mode....
... could be something like that.
Thanks. Didn't know about web.de. Shall have a look.
Here's a treat to add to your websearch shortlist: https://searx.neocities.org/

even when was "a rebel"; "an outsider"?
