How dare Eskimos eat meat, they should eat bananas and fruit!

No way that have ever happened and will ever happen!

Napoleon had won the war!
LatvjuAvs··on How are humans going to become extinct?
One man lives to reach the end. One man lives to experience the change.

Everyone is so concerned with survival and living in bubble, but yet accepting seasons, sun rising and leaves falling. Yet they fail to realize that the biggest fear for them is change, nothing else.

I must fight something I do not accept and I am fine with something i am familiar with.

Not too sure if this thinking will change soon. Or changing this thinking would mean end to humanity.

LatvjuAvs··on News is bad for you – and giving up reading it will make you happier
Have you tried Heroin? :)
LatvjuAvs··on Fighting human trafficking
Yeah, imagine world where slavery did not exist, so that if you did not paid taxes you would not go to prison. Blasphemy, good that Google is working to avert that!
LatvjuAvs··on Monsanto: All Your Seeds Are Belong to Us
And people are happy when you pour more poison on plants and they are fine :D
LatvjuAvs··on IT for Oppression
Telly says so, must be true. Also, illusion. Illusion of fear, truth and lies. And sadly loss of self thinking.

Works very well together.

LatvjuAvs··on A Personal Statement from Iain Banks
People still struggling to accept life.

Man grow out of this world, created awesome books, then he changed to something else. World as it is, is because he is.

LatvjuAvs··on How much sleep do we really need to work productively?
And we have come to age when we stop trusting our bodies. We need papers and researchers saying how much we should sleep, how to sleep best and when not to sleep.

We stopped trusting in ourselves what to eat, how to sleep, how to walk and how to breathe, and when to go and relieve ourselves.

Everything must be boxed and timed.

Disconnected we are.

LatvjuAvs··on U.S. plans to let spy agencies scour Americans' finances
Who will protect weak from the man who protects the weak?
LatvjuAvs··on Why Github and Stack Overflow are the wrong tools for democracy
Relying on "strong leaders" are one of biggest downfalls of humanity. Not relying on yourself is one of your pitfalls, it will go on and on and on until enough is enough or you will die and someone else will take place in pitfall.

Loathing politicians, looking for savior, looking for strong political leader, waiting for someone. Protesting against yourself on the street. Putting someone in charge then putting them away with hope that someone else "good enough" will take place.

Age of heroes are gone.

LatvjuAvs··on Why Github and Stack Overflow are the wrong tools for democracy
People are afraid of freedom and in same time are saddened by having not enough control. Failing to realize there is no sweet middle spot.
LatvjuAvs··on How Criticizing in Private Undermines Your Team
At some point in life you have to step out of diapers and accept challenge, accept disagreement, accept envy, accept talk-down, accept criticism.

Either way, there is no correct way.

LatvjuAvs··on Procrastination is Not Laziness
Welcome to the theater where we pretend that we are playing grown ups and life.
LatvjuAvs··on Procrastination is Not Laziness
You will move world if you want to.

Or when you are in fear from something, if you believe in fear.

Fear from not being successful :D. Fear from not reaching someone's else expectations. Fear from doing right/wrong things.

Motivation ultimately is carrot-stick mechanism. You should never be motivated to do something you like. Because it is natural.

And all I can tell you, you have not found what you would like, because you too have placed values in very very unbelievable(for you) place.

LatvjuAvs··on Procrastination is Not Laziness
So instead finding something you would like to do, we must commit to exercises, motivation(discipline), regulations, restrictions in hope that reward will outweigh something we really do not want commit to.
LatvjuAvs··on New Sanctions Imposed on North Korea as it Warns of Pre-emptive Nuclear Attack
I like these sanctions, the one aimed at Iraq starting from 1990's. Really helped for everyone living there. Who would not love a dying child from hunger on his arms, it is like a Easter present.
LatvjuAvs··on 40 Years After an Acid Attack, a Life Well Lived
Without the incident, there is no heroic life to be lived. There is no lessons to be learned, there is no one left to be saved.

You must see little bit further how everything interacts like a connected cogwheels.

First you have emotional burst, the anger, the sadness, full range of emotions, then, you must go further than that. Then you must see how well it have played out.

LatvjuAvs··on Uncopyright
At some point in your life, or not, you might realize that money < life. Until then you wi

LatvjuAvs··on Fauja Singh, world's oldest marathon runner, completes final race at 101
Give him 2 years, he will get bored and will do another run, I know these "never again" old geezers.
LatvjuAvs··on DIY Weapons of the Syrian Rebels
No flip-flops indeed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v...

Usually all dead terrorists encountered in Syria do not wear flip-flops. Even live ones.

LatvjuAvs··on DIY Weapons of the Syrian Rebels
Do not worry my friend, they are creative bunch, and they have came up with great tools to distribute around for civilian needs.

There is no better way to say hello than leaving these in civilian buildings after leaving area, and wiring them up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v...

LatvjuAvs··on New Solution Can Cut Video File Size By Half – Without Losing Quality
Of course, until you compare 1by1 pixel, you see no difference.

But when you do, yeah, I understand why size drops is that big.

LatvjuAvs··on DIY Weapons of the Syrian Rebels
Seriously, is there anyone who buys rebels story anymore? Wasn't Libya enough? But, to open ones eyes, one must face the ugly truth.
LatvjuAvs··on The Extraordinary Science of Addictive Junk Food
Thank you, I actually never researched this. It is different than drinking green tea, where i juggle it inside my mouth, play around with taste then swallow it :)
LatvjuAvs··on The Extraordinary Science of Addictive Junk Food
There is just no way anyone CAN eat high fat diet the way high carb diet works.

The more carbs you eat, the more you carve, the more fats you eat, the less you want to eat. Of course if you do not combine them.

For me it has become once per 24h food intake sometimes and then it is more like a necessity than hunger.

I do eat once per week some chips with honey.

But now I cringe thinking about coke, cake, donuts, bread, cookies, chocolate.

LatvjuAvs··on Using a Hosts File To Make The Internet Not Suck As Much
Nice list to go trough in boring times @ work. Thanks.
