Popular Post Buck Turgidson Posted September 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 1, 2020 We are all human after all.As a mixed-race, mixed-culture, mixed-religion, multi-lingual world traveller, I have often been asked the question "Where do you come from?"Often, when I reply "Canada", the next question is "Ok but where do your parents come from?"When I reply "Canada", the next question is invariably "Yeah but where do you 'originally' come from?'To which my answer is "Earth, where do you come from?"I have lived on 3 continents, and done business in 40 countries in my life. I teach in 2 MBA programs, am self-made, run my own tech business, consult for large and small businesses, design my own products and market them. I have worked in war zones, and do charity work with autistic coders.I have seen joy in my travels, but what sticks with me most is the suffering wrought by those who would place some sub-segmentation of our species over what we all have in common.I have tried for years to reform prejudiced people, and have been successful in the real world, but have to admit defeat after years of trying to engage with racist trolls on Discord. In the spirit of diversity and inclusion, I invite anyone who identifies as human above any other denominator to join this alliance and keep those denominators out of our space. We can disagree on all kinds of things, but let's elevate the discussion to historical, scientific, philosophical, or political, for example - even those topics can get heated. Maybe we will find common ground in the common interest of cross-cultural and respectful dialogue.That said, if you want to include divisive racist, religious, or base nationalist rhetoric, I encourage you to supplement your Discord with some other alliance's server. You are still welcome here, but you can check your denominators at the door. Snowflakes looking for an excuse to get offended and take a stand will find this place boring. Older folks like me might find it to be a refreshing break from the rampant poor behaviour on Orbis. I am absolutely appalled by some of it, not only from players, but also from admins who have given me strikes for standing up to prejudice. This is a seed that I hope will endure and change the way people deal with each other, ever so slowly.This text will be updated once we have a few like-minded members who are interested in crafting a constitution out of this manifesto. And I hope it will have an impact by the time my kids play a game like this.No taxes of any kind. Ever. https://politicsandwar.com/alliance/id=7802Also, it's just pixels. And don't do drugs - they recently ruined a good friendship of mine. I will just sit here and wait for the trolls and haters - look forward to meeting people who still have their marbles. 1 9 3 Quote Are you originally from Earth, too? Proud owner of Harry's goat.

The idea is not complete, and I am flexible. I think we could all use a little positivity these days, which honestly does not come naturally to a curmudgeon like me. I will try, hard.

I am a human first, I can even find common ground with Manitobans. Unfortunately, or not, I can't return to your province until I pay a 440$ speeding ticket I got when I drove my '83 Firebird in 3 sades of primer gray in the mid-90's...

It is a place that welcomes people from abroad, where neighbours rarely shoot each other, and where access to healthcare and an education are rights. We still manage to find stupid stuff to divide us. 7 minutes ago, Mars said: there is no spoon Sure there is.

One day you will see that the ground can make a good habitat. Here in my jungle, just bought this uhh, new tree here. It's fun to swing around here in the jungle. But do you know what I like a lot more than materialistic things? Knowledge!...In fact, I am a lot more proud of these seven new sticks and stones that I had to sharpen, the whole 2000 new bugs and fruits that I've got. It's like...the billionaire Warren Buffet says: "The more you learn, the more you earn.". Now, maybe you've seen my Ted Ex talk where I talk about how I collect one shiny rock a day- you know I collect rock a day not to show off, once again, it's about the knowledge. The real reason I keep this tree here is that it's a reminder. A reminder that dreams are still possible. Because it wasn't that long ago that I was in a little jungle across the country, sleepin'...on a bush, on an ant hill, with only 1 small berry to my name. I didn't have a monke pack. I had no opportunities to mate. But you know what? Something happened that changed my life. I bumped into a mentor. And another mentor. And a few more mentors later I found FIVE mentors. And they showed me what THEY did- to become alpha monke. Again, it's not just about the berries or sticks, it's about the good life: health, beetle larvae, love and happiness. So I recorded a little video, it's actually on my website you can click here, on this video and it will take you to my website where I share THREE things that they taught me. THREE things that you can implement today, no matter where you are. Now, this isn't a "get evolved quick" scheme. You know, like they say. If it sounds too good to be true, they are too good to be true. I'm not promising you that TOMORROW you will be able to go out and claim a tree with your scent, but what I am telling you is that it can happen faster than you think if you know the proven steps! So, I recorded a little 2 minute video on my website, uhh, like I said it's not the most professional, I just shot it here with my the NatGeo WILD! team, but it's real. Nobody can argue that this isn't mine. True story. And I'mma give you...the three most important things you can do today. So click the link, go there. It's completely free to watch. It's just a couple minutes. Invest it in yourself. Always be curious. Don't be a cynic. Okay? People see videos like this and they say "uhh that's not for me, that's for somebody else". DON'T LISTEN! Don't listen! Be an optimist! Like Caesar from Planet of the Apes, the chimp who started a new terrestrial era, he said...that when he was 15 year old, he read a book by Helen Keller. And that book changed his life and his hands (it was a cheese grater). Books can change your life and in that book, Helen Keller said: "asg,dskhgd". So, if you're a pessimist, if you're a cynic, you don't have to click here. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hah, you've failed to complain for 20 years? Then you don't have a case. At all. You've long since de-facto yielded any rights to the intellectual property now owned, licensed, paid for and in prior decisions defended in court by Grumpy. There's craploads of precedent to support Grumpy's case and nil to support your own. Best you can hope for is to settle for a fair price; have you got change for a penny?
