Theres a lot of awesome fixes to hiccups that actually work if you do them right. One thing I've learned over the years is that most problems have an obvious fix that some people figured out ages ago and the reason you're late to the party of knowing is that after everyone else figured it out they decided not to tell you because then they could make a buck off of selling you the solution. Applies to so many things in our world.

An institution of education is a weapon against a society from actually existing. Technology has eaten our world and is shitting us out in real time.

So are you saying that each of these "experts" is not an actual top of field expert but merely one of hundreds of expert cogs (per field!) in a giant machine so vast that of course some of them will crashout, be kidnapped, blackmailed, die outright, agree to a global government psyop, etc? But that's so much less fun, especially when you consider the espionage angle.

Now that's a fun one, where did you hear that from? Other ones I've seen include; tit for tat revenge for the assassination of Iranian nuke scientists; a global conspiracy of illuminati/masons/"jews" (defined so broadly as to be useless); chinese interdiction (kidnapping, a-la the reverse of the subplot in nolan's the dark knight film - that is essentially what you said); bankers who own everything and subvert everything to their interests (which remains stickily plausible to me); of course we can't forget our favorite: ancient aliens been doing all of this from the beginning. Anything to absolve people of confronting their own DNA and the predator/prey dichotomy that rules most life forms.

My understanding is that Mao was a rural peasant from the distant Countryside who was looked down on and marked by his more (self declared) socialist Coastal betters along China's Coast who were contesting with the kmt and later Japanese invasion. The idea that Mao invented the communist or socialist revolution in China is laughable because that revolution had been ongoing prior to Mao's entrance into it. My understanding is that Mao was the guy that stood up and said look, the peasants in the Hinterlands are an Unstoppable Army that is going to come flooding from distant and Central China on to the coast and push all opposition aside and so Mao was basically saying that that the Communists should be attempting to position themselves as favorably as possible in relation to the rising peasant tide of discontent in China. If anything the concern is that if you say anything that the modern Chinese Communist party does not like or agree with they will disappear you to all the corners of the Earth. It is probably only in Taiwan that you could speak openly and honestly about the nature of modern Chinese history from let's say 1900 to the current day. They probably have a better accounting of what was actually going on, and that will soon be deleted by the now dominant Communist Party of China. You can see how they have treated their assimilation of Hong Kong, and Macau before them to imagine what awaits Taiwan.

It's sad how in the state of Washington I have become accustomed to drawing my ID out on every transaction that involves confirming that I'm over 21 whereas cross the border into Idaho there's not a single time I have ever been asked to provide my ID in over 10 years. Clearly in Idaho they can take one look at me and go like well yeah clearly but such visual social technology is beyond the pale in the great creepy state of Washington. I'm a bit sad to think of what the children of today's children will be like when I am very old and they are very young. Maybe one day nobody will know what it was like to live in a society that was able to just tell things by looking at it.

Hopefully we get good and hard the democracy that we have long been promised; and good and hard because you only get an outcome that people whose lives have been utterly and entirely unlike your own are the ones making the rules for how you and yours will be to the end of your days. Sounds like a lot of fun right? It sure is interesting how people's opinions change when they realize what kind of people are the ones getting to make the rules for everybody from here on out.

So obey me and obey my command upon what is good and right and acceptable; this is surely some sort of authoritarian on consensual pressure pushed upon people that might otherwise have a contrary opinion. Good to see you lay it out so sordidly and so sorry in terms of your own prior biases which you yourself must necessarily deny even exist. Isn't that right?

Those with teeth will devour those without. Those able to consume and perpetuate themselves will do so in the proceeding environment of those unable to replicate; they simply will not see anything but their end. And certainly these such people want nothing other than their gentle And Timely Sunset of existence and they will Embrace on endingly the new people that will continue after their own existence is ended forever.

Well, Mister "lol"; what does "have doctors" mean to you. Because it seems to me without needing any sort of special education that one could conceivably take the term 'have doctors' to mean one thing according to how one poster describes their experience and mean something else entirely depending on how another poster would describe their experience. So, explicitly, what exactly does " have doctors " mean to you?

I have perment unstoppable hiccups that have occurred in the last week or so. Nothing I have tried has made them stop in fact I just hit up more every time I try to report record anything. I would like to just breathe without having hiccups and it's not even a choice for me I'm not even permitted to even attempt to stop this Behavior May hiccups are constant and unending. I have run out of ideas of who to pursue for help this is just Agony I can't even breathe without constant hiccup interruption I don't know how to make it stop and I'll do anything at this point.
