Less mistakes in manufacturing, less accidents in manufacturing ,less workers comp claims, less labor cost for company's.
He is actually just explaining what folks thought when the assembly line started, or when robots first came to car manufacturing, "oh the humans are going to be out of work". No the humans will just have to get better educations to maintain the machines.
I think the threat of AI taking jobs should be a great motivator to our young people to get good educations so they can build the buildings and the power grid and such for AI to function.
I don't see poor people being any more poor or more of them.
This is video is just gloom and doom talk
ok so AI can start a war. It can also fight in ways humans are to slow to think about. Simply hack into energy grids and communications and radar systems and the enemy is down. done.war won.
Personally, I don't think that they will succeed in creating a "god in the box",
but their goal is to make as many working people obsolete as possible.
You are not thinking about what happens to all those people.
If they do manage to create a "god in the box", what confidence do you have
that its creators manage to maintain control over it?
Why would it obey the order to shut down the enemy.
Do you think it would agree with you who the enemy is?
God has no manager, i guess you could say Jesus does as he checks with his dad,
but Ai shouldn't need management once it is finished to a point it can be self reliant.
Have you seen the movie I, Robot (2004), with Will Smith?
Did you see Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning (2023) and its sequel, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning (2025)?
Did you learn anything from all the Terminator movies?
Of course, Hollywood movies mostly have good endings. Real life, not so much.
You get spooked when NASA finds an asteroid with 2.3% chance to hit the earth in 7 years, when the data is just in. You were also fearmongering over some clickbait about solar flares. Why are you worried about these things, and not about the tech giants investing trillions into an AI overlord? Why are you not worried about the absolute inescapable disaster of climate change, and politicians completely ignoring it?
I think you have no idea about the ridiculous power consumption of AI.
In my country, they are talking about building an AI-gigafactory for $26.5 billion, which would consume the amount of power comparable with 2.5 million households. One of our biggest wind-farms produces power for 1.5 million households. What a waste of (green) energy. We already have so many problems with the power grid, that new homes are waiting to be connected and some beach clubs have now created their own green energy grid, to be able to exist.
There are now lots of areas in your country, where people pay a much higher electricity price, because, big companies pocket the profits, but outsource a lot of the costs.
When AI data centers move in, utilities must build new infrastructure, and they spread the cost onto the citizens. Data centers often get special electricity deals, and the shortfall is shifted to regular customers.
AI data centers don’t look dirty, but they drive pollution indirectly and locally through the energy, water, and backup systems they require. Fossil-fuel power plants get built or run harder. Diesel backup generators pollute neighborhoods directly.
Many Americans also suffer from the noise. Building codes might restrict a grocery store in a neighborhood, but very noisy data centers are built way too damn near to people's houses.
Trump tried to get a proposal through, to ban state AI regulation for 10 years, in the federal budget bill earlier in 2025. Imagine how people get fucked over, if states cannot in any way limit where, and how many, AI data centers are built. How about state's rights, that your side claims to care about?

Asteroids can't,
Ai will never have the 1 advantage Humans have over it. The power to Reason.
No i don't want to be Controlled by AI Gods but at the same time I think Ai would do a better job at alot of things eliminating human interaction and necessity of paying them.
If it spreads itself all over the world, in every server and data center, we would never
be able to unplug it, because those utilities have completely taken over everything
we need. It might require a global memory wipe, destroying all data we have accumulated, including the system of money itself.
The AI that they want to build DOES have the power to reason.
That's their whole goal. It wouldn't be a "god in the box" without it.
I also think that AI would do a better job than humanity, but the people who are in control now would NEVER give up their power. Unfortunately, they are also blinded by power enough, to think they can control their creation. And if that fails, they would do anything to regain their power, no matter who they hurt in the process.
Divorce would simply be, Clic,back space,highlight,clic, done.
I watched a couple of the terminator movies but not the others.
You seem to forget i was learning in the field when programming a Apple 2 e was the thing to do.
So I have been in this for a long time. I was warned by a professor to never let tech control us.
AI will be a great asset, but it will only control us if WE LET IT.
Those people are exactly the type of people you shouldn't trust with that power.
There is no "WE", there is only a "THEM". And them are fucked-up in the head.
AI trys to make a restoration video, And Screwed it all up!..

But I must also say, I am very surprised that the son is still in jail with bail.
I thought they turned people back loose in california once arrested and cycled thru the system
The last thing that it means is being OK with murder.
Being OK with murder, that is only on your political side.
You celebrate it, justify it, or ignore it, except in some very specific cases,
when it involves some cult footsoldier, and when it helps your cult of hate.
8 of the top 10 states with the highest Murder & Manslaughter rates are RED states. California isn't even in that top 10, they are ranked 28th.
It’s how the system works
--------------------------------------- added after 39 seconds
As usual, you guys are talking out of your ass
Wow, need to watch it closely. Must be because the victims were liberals that the liberals are going to use the system. Had it been a conservative victim, i doubt they would have even bothered to look for the killer.
why don't you make it concrete?
California is your most successful state, and that is not caused by failures.
They are succeeding because of liberalism, not despite of it.
Approximately 74.35% of felony charges in California result in a conviction.
The National Average is roughly 70%.
In 2024, California reported 1,666 homicides and made 1,305 homicide arrests.
This indicates a clearance rate of roughly 78%, which state analysts describe as significantly better than the national average of 61.4%.
States with the Lowest Murder "Solving" (Clearance) Rates:
- Illinois: Preliminary 2024 data reported a murder clearance rate of 35.5%. While a slight improvement from 33.5% in 2023, it remains one of the lowest in the nation.
- New Mexico: Reports indicate New Mexico has some of the lowest violent crime clearance rates in the country as of 2024/2025. In 2023, the state recorded a homicide rate of 11.5 per 100,000 residents, the highest in the U.S. at that time.
- Georgia and Mississippi: These states were also identified in 2025 analyses as having consistently low violent crime clearance rates relative to other states.
Everything you are saying is 100% based on your indoctrination.
President Trump’s comment on Rob Reiner and wife’s murder:
"A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS."
President Donald J Trump
Did any prominent Democratic politician do that when Charlie Kirk was killed?
And yes anal licker many Democrats made horrible comments about Charlie
--------------------------------------- added after 76 seconds
More sarcasm than joke I believe
Trump has been a hateful narcissist asshole all his life.
Otherwise, I completely agree with the statement.
while he said that the first amendment is worth some people being killed.
2) Some Democrats or liberals pointed out that Trump was more concerned
with the construction of his new ballroom, when he was asked about the murder.
3) Some Democrats or liberals pointed out that his widow was not appearing
to be grieving that much, but mostly spending her time grifting off it.
4) Some Democrats or liberals pointed out that Charlie Kirk was not a honest debater,
who needs to be respected for how he engaged with the open marketplace of ideas.
No Democrat or prominent liberal made horrible comments about Charlie's MURDER.
Trump however blamed the victim for getting killed, for hating HIM.
That was not a joke, or a justifiable remark, that was Trump being a sick bastard.
I see no Democrats and liberals declaring war on you over this, like your cult did.
I asked you about which "Democrat or prominent liberal" made horrible comments about Charlie's MURDER, because there are OTHER NORMS for public figures,
than for any random Joe Schmo on the internet. Do you agree?
Pointing out things like point 1 to 4, are NOT horrible comments about a MURDER,
that is pointing out behavior or the morality of the person before the murder or other people after the murder. That is different than celebrating the persons murder or blaming the victim for their murder. You don't have to mourn the loss of a person,
to mourn their murder.
Although, there are norms for that, when it relates to elected representatives,
who are supposed to represent everyone, like THE FUCKING PRESIDENT!!!
It's his job and he's the worst at, of all your presidents, ever.
Yes, people got fired for re-posting one of these 4 points I mentioned.
None of them are violations of free speech. What fucking country allows people
to be fired over exercising their FREE SPEECH?
Are you not thinking "this might be a bit hypocritical", before you say shit like this?
I feel like explaining stealing is wrong, to a toddler.

“Repeated pics don’t look original or by self”
This wack-job was pissed that no one agreed with his lame referral and voted NO ABUSE. So in a true snowflake manner, he blacklisted each of the voting panel members. What a freakin’ pussy!
You’ve been a member for 4 months and have blacklisted 8 members! Really? And in the same 4 months, 4 members are have blacklisted you. Only one of the members that blacklisted you provided a reason and their reason was; “creep”. Odd that you call yourself Ratecommentinsult and you get upset aka insulted because members don’t agree with you? This site is for adults, you are 30 years old, don’t you think it’s time to grow up?
Allow me to explain something that your momma and daddy should have told you 25 years ago; everyone is not always going to agree with you.
In the case of your referral, 5 people did not agree with your assessment of lunar883. Suck it up buttercup, you were wrong, now take it like an adult.
Think of the two space shuttles that exploded. One was on the way to space and one was on the way home from space. I would rather be on the one going home.

Of course it won't be 100% effective but damn it's a good idea and you have to rip the Band-Aid off somewhere.
I just wonder how long it will take the kids will find a workaround.
Besides children, the people who really don't like this would be ped0ph1les and perverts.
I’m only stating facts. There is no way to enforce this ban. It’s all for show, and nothing more. It’s the moral equivalent of wishing on a star.
This is the moral equivalent to what they’re doing in Australia: A person is swimming twenty-five yards out in the water, when he suddenly realizes he can’t make it back to shore.
He sees people on the beach and he begins to call to them just as he begins struggling to stay afloat.
The people on shore hear his cries and look out on the water and locate the struggling person.
But, instead of heading out on the water to effect his rescue, they all begin praying that he gets saved. They all pray really, really hard.
And, he slips under the water and drowns.
Here’s what they all say afterward: Well, we did something. At least we tried.
Same thing.
Same Same
They can now claim, with puffed up chests, “Look, everyone! We did something,” even though it’s totally and utterly meaningless!
However, if we accept that this is whistling in the wind, then, as a very smart man, what do you recommend should be done short of shutting down the internet?
In a perfect world, more parents would be more attentive and protective of their children. This is not a perfect world, however. People are flawed.
The ironic part is that government is made up solely of people. As stated above, people are flawed.
Why should we, then, trust government to always do the right thing, if the people in it are just as imperfect as the rest of us?
One thing is for sure: we can always trust the government to make a bad situation worse. Not even religion has had the ability to make the world right, and religion has been around far longer than government. The problem with religion, is the same as the problem with government: there are people involved in it.
A problem exists, and government’s solution, more often than not, is to make feel-good empty gestures for bragging rights, that is, when it's not trampling all over human rights. Doing “something" then becomes justification for spending more of our hard-earned money, just to micro-manage our lives.
The solution is to stop wanting the government to fix our lives and to take responsibility for ourselves. Modern societies have become far too reliant on government to solve their problems. That nonsense must stop, because government, whether through sheer incompetence or maliciousness, will ultimately be the end of human dignity and the death of humanity.
Anarchists want the world to burn. They produce nothing but misery. I want the world to be protected, because I live in it. I merely don’t want the State to tell me how I should live my life, so long as I am harming no one.
It’s not a black and white world. Why do you seem to insist that it is by labeling me an anarchist? Do you actually believe that there are only two sides in this issue: total submission/dependency or total anarchy?
Okay, you are not an anarchist. I didn’t label you. Thanks for that clarification. It was more of a question by me than a statement, but, you are a conservative, right leaning, citizen, right? So, let me ask you, what do you think of the EPA, the WHO, abortion, gun control, conservation laws, and treatment of illegal aliens? Because, in my book, many people want to live their lives in a cocoon where they don’t care about their neighbors. They just, and I quote, “don’t want the State to tell me how I should live my life, so long as I am harming no one.”
And no, I don’t believe “ that there are only two sides in this issue: total submission/dependency or total anarchy?” and I never said that. I notice you project to conclusions that are not what I’ve written (I do that too, sometimes 🤣
Why is it always a worst case scenario?
Government has been usurping the family unit for decades now. Look at the cities with the worst crime statistics. The family units are virtually non-existent in those communities, because government stepped in and told people, “You can’t do this alone. We’re here to help.”
You destroyers just can’t leave things alone.
Those family units that are virtually non-existent are a huge problem. I agree, but, without Big Government, how do you propose we deal with it? And before you say there’s too much red tape and waste of resources (and I agree with that), remember, nothing is perfect but something has to be done. Individual help is needed but it’s nowhere enough. Government help has to be.
Why not a blanket ban for all users.

Would you kindly share your thoughts on profiles that are predominantly comprised of AI generated images? The reason I ask is that there has been a referral to the Evaluation Panel for the deletion of Evlin303. I believe I have an understanding of your tolerance toward members that post internet pics so it would be great to have an understanding of what your opinion is with regard to AI generated images. Thank you.
This site was created for people to post their own images and videos. I am ONLY tolerant of internet images because, if I weren't, many members would end up reporting each other over memes and tributes. Most people here cannot (or pretend they cannot) understand the difference between those and third-party porn taken from internet. I know this from experience - I've tried explaining fair use concept many times with little success. Therefore, I must tolerate internet images, as long as a member doesn't make a habit of posting them predominantly or pretend they are personal.
The same reasoning largely applies to AI content. I cannot forbid it completely because people might use AI-generated memes or apply fantasy-style modifications to their own photos and videos. That is a form of art, so a complete ban isn't feasible. However, if I see an account that predominantly posts AI images completely unrelated to their own, I will delete it.
That said, I barely look at the uploads on this site. I built it for you - the members, so you can collectively decide what kind of content belongs here. Please stop asking for my opinion and using it as an argument against other members.

Although the article said something about “free socks”, the $15.xx receipt screams otherwise.
All this hopping around smiling and dancing and spending small fortunes on useless trinkets and being reminded of how much of my famly is dead and gone, just seems appropriate for my mood.
NOw if they come out with a Scrooge Meal, I will damn sure get 1!
The Walton’s got nothing on you! Wouldn’t it be nice if during the 2025/2026 winter season for you to update and post more photos of snowfall taken on Graff’s Mountain? Just sayin’………

A friend, in Michigan has an upcoming birthday and shopping for the “perfect gift” is too stressful so as you may have guessed, I send cash. This ATM only dispenses 100’s, 20’s, 5’s and 1’s but I’m sending 50. On special occasions my paternal grandmother would sometimes gift my sisters and me money and that currency would ALWAYS BE crisp paper bills. This tradition has been imprinted in me for a hundred years and I need a $50.00 bill. I trot into the bank, stand in line, the teller motions when it’s my turn and when I get to her window, I explain that I want a $50 bill in exchange for these random bills dispensed from THEIR ATM. She asks whether I have an account with them, and I don’t, they are unable to accommodate my request. I explain that I just charged a $5.00 service fee at their ATM…..After a bit of conversation, she reaches out to her superior who after touching and visually inspecting the cash, approves the “transaction”.
Can anyone explain why something so seemingly minor is such a major production?
I trot into the difficult to buy for so I send her money
Chase Bank — Some “denomination-select” or “smart” Chase ATMs let you choose how your cash is split (e.g. $1, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100 bills).
PNC Bank — PNC has upgraded many of its ATMs to allow denomination choice, sometimes including smaller bills like $1 or $5.
Bank of America — Some of their ATMs (especially at larger/ metropolitan branches) reportedly support choosing between different bill denominations (e.g. $10, $20, $50, $100).
Wells Fargo — At certain upgraded or branch-location ATMs, mixed bill options (beyond just $20s) are sometimes available.
27 miles away is a bit far to get the desired bills from an ATM.
I would suggest finding a small store and exchanging the money there.
They are usually happy with smaller bills, because they can use them for change.
My girlfriend is on friendly basis with two shop owners. She sometimes exchanges
change for big bills with them, specifically to help them fill their cash register.
It depends on the business. Some get small bills all day from customers, overloading the cash register, requiring them to take trips to the bank to get rid of them. Those businesses wouldn't like you asking to exchange your small bills for their big bills. One of the shop owners my girlfriend knows has a souvenir shop. She often has pretty rich tourists paying with big bills for a small item, requiring lots of smaller bills in the cash register.

There was no casket in the car , you can see thru the rear glass, the casket shown is wood, the car "hit" it ,flexing the hood, that casket would have flown all to shit had it hit the vehicle it is shown to hit or if the car hit it either 1.
There is software that people have on their cell phones that allow them to make a short video,and then have AI modify it. I was shown a video of my camper bouncing all around a camp ground tipping over large desiel pushers and other trailers and knocking down trees. Never happened, looked real though until you saw the bottoms of the trailers and such,blank,black no detail.
so take these videos with a grain of salt,

This question is asked after Thanksgiving but prior to Christmas and New Year, what is the “traditional” meal served in your household?
Thanksgiving is easy for me to describe, it was turkey with stuffing, yes, seasoned bread stuffed into the turkey cavity which included some prunes, mashed potatoes, green beans, my mother would make a side dish using canned yams that she “doctored up” with brown sugar, cinnamon and various spices. I NEVER UNDERSTOOD why this dish was always included because it was so WRONG! There were buttery rolls and because it was the holiday, butter not margarine was on the table. Cranberry sauce, I preferred the cranberry sauce with the berries rather than just the plain gel and for dessert, pumpkin pie with whipped cream and mincemeat pie. As a child my ears and eyes made no sense out of something that was called “mincemeat” but truth be told, it didn’t taste “that bad”, it just looked like a hot mess.
So what is or was a traditional holiday meal in your home?
Along with deviled eggs!! I don't like the berrys in cranberry, i just like the sauce in flat round slices.
Very GOOD.
I hardly remember ever eating a marshmellow.
So I’m asking YOU whether you would punch your spouse, partner or significant other in the face for 1 million dollars?

In the video, there are two mature gentlemen in the back seat and in awe of the technology. One pointed out that the self driving vehicles will be helpful in the event that their driver’s license are revoked (due to age).
Is anyone able to explain what the need for the lighted beacon on the top of the car?

Does supervise mean that someone be present in the driver’s seat? I believe that in the State of Texas, self driving vehicles are on their roads and serving as “cabs”, UBER, etc . If my understanding of Texas and self driving vehicles is correct, then my guess is the fares are sitting in the back seat or in the passenger seat as the woman in the video was.
Okay, so in Florida the driver must be seated in the driver’s seat and the Tesla is equipped with cameras that monitors the the person in the driver’s seat to sure they’re not on their phone, sleeping, reading a book, engaged in amorous activities, etc……. WHY BOTHER CHOOSING SELF DRIVING/AUTO PILOT?
Are you a salesman?
Now some will argue that planes have auto pilot. Well, there are no ditches and stuff up there and no wheel alignment to be off and let the car go off track and etc. Alot of variables with a car,are just not there with a airplane.

During World War II, almost all the nurses were women and for the weary servicemen, that alone was a morale boost.
A Navy Chief lay in bed, oxygen mask strapped tight, still groggy from a grueling four‑hour surgery.
A young nurse stepped in to give him a sponge bath.
Through the mask, the Chief mumbled...
“Nurse…are my testicles black?”
She froze, cheeks burning...
“Chief, I’m only here to wash your upper body and feet!”
But he persisted, louder this time...
“Nurse… are my testicles black?”
Worried his vitals might spike, she swallowed her embarrassment, pulled back the covers, lifted his gown, and gently examined him.
After a careful look she said...
“Chief, there’s nothing wrong with them.”
The Chief pulls off his oxygen mask, smiles at her and says very slowly…
“Bless your Heart and thank you so very much as that was wonderful, but listen very, very closely...

What I find peculiar about Florida is their mosquitoes come out for about an hour and then go away.
I was born in Ludington, lived north of Grand Rapids for a while (Sparta area), and then got dragged over to the Thumb (Lexington and Croswell) when Dad got a job offer there. Did two years in Meyer Elementary in Lexington (5th and 6th grade), then did time in Cros-Lex junior high and high school (one of the worst school systems in the State outside of Detroit at the time. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it).
Parents got divorced in ’76 or ’77 (her cheatin’ heart) and the woman who gave birth to me dragged us four kids all around Sanilac County because she kept pissing off our landlords and getting us evicted when she wasn’t banging bar flies at the Colonial, a bar in Lexington at the time. My dad headed to Florida for a while after they split up. When he came back, I didn’t go live with him because the woman who gave birth to me had my head twisted up pretty badly. I missed a lot of years getting to know Dad better because of her. Turns out, he was a pretty good guy.
My senior year was endured in Mason County, in a school in one of the little towns that wasn’t Ludington, which was a little bit better than what I went through at Cros-Lex. Lived with my maternal grandparents that year. They were cool. I miss them, especially Grandpa.
I got the hell out of there in 1980 by joining the Navy, otherwise, I’d probably still be po’ white trash living in a rented singlewide somewhere in Mason County, on some backwoods gravel road. Career opportunities were rather meager, and low paying, during that time. It was, stay and stagnate, or flee and fly.
I left the state with zero regrets. I’m doing much better now.
That’s weird about the Florida skeeters. Michigan mosquitos are little bitches, 24/7. The state bird shouldn’t be the robin; it should be the mosquito.

What will we do here in the states? Pay more for stuff because of round ups in price? I understand the high cost of the penny being made but we could have contracted that work out to china or india and kept the cost down.
are looking for one…
only registered users can see external links
End sarcasm.
You said that the cost will round up but you forgot about the round down. It works out in the end and it only applies to cash sales not credit cards or debit cards. They go to the penny.
I carry cash and change
I use a card for paying medical bills then pay it off in a few days, using the rewards i earn to help pay my bill lol,use their little system to my advantage.
What this no penny thing is leading to though is the cashless society that the 1 world government-liberal agenda is pushing for. All the transactions would be electronic, thus trackable, thus taxable, thus controllable. Thus eventually no free enterprise system. your kid wants to run a lemonade stand ,but has to pay for a machine to take cards and electronic means of payment, and would have to pay taxes on the small amount of money they make. All in the future, all needing nipped in the bud before it gets to far gone.
In some states and cities, it is illegal to round up a transaction to the nearest nickel or dime because doing so would run afoul of laws that are supposed to place cash customers and debit and credit card customers on an equal playing field when it comes to item costs.
A spokesman for Kwik Trip, the Midwest convenience store chain, says it has been rounding down every cash transaction to the nearest nickel. That's expected to cost the company roughly $3 million this year.
that is 1 company loosing 3 million a year because of this great idea,

I was 1 of 3 children and we were all daughters. The life lessons/skills taught should not be geared toward sons, alone. I wish I would have been taught how to change a tire and prepare my own tax returns….. although I can’t recall any specific occasions, my GUESS is my father did change a flat tire or two. As for tax preparation, that annual obligation was given to a paid accountant. I do wish my mother would have held MANDATORY informal “cooking classes” for my sisters and demand I. Sadly, I DO NOT have the knowledge, skill or raw courage to undertake the cooking of a turkey and traditional Thanksgiving Day dinner!

I worked in a major department store once in one of my coworkers was talking about exactly this idea and we thought it was a great one. I still do.
Isn't it ironic that someone could be arrested for not doing Walmart's employees jobs properly? 😄
I wonder why they don't have brooms on the bottom of the carts so we could sweep the floors while we're shopping.
Self service checkouts, ATM’s, Ticketmaster, as well as the kiosks in McDonald’s were created for folks who want to get in and out and don’t want to wait in long lines and with that implementation, did away with a human being! Oi!
It’s not the store; it’s the people who shop there that's keeping me out. Too many rude, malodorous, entitled, pajama-wearing trash wandering aimlessly around for my comfort.
If I need anything, I shop Walmart online. I just ordered two aloe vera plants from there online and they arrived within a couple of days. No need to go to the brick and mortar, as far as I am concerned.
You must have a “love” of words, too bad you never had the opportunity to interact with JustWill. JustWill….. I miss that guy!!

MY THEORY WHICH IS A GUESS is because they destroy their gifts to convert to additional points!
--------------------------------------- added after 12 minutes
Here's another point to ponder, why is that even a feature? How did it come about?
Did someone recommend it or is it just part of a package of options? Thanks.
I opt to use the invisibility feature for myself and for my points. As a premium paid member, I realty don’t see any perk to hiding my gifts and wondered whether anyone was able offer rationale on why they choose to hide their gifts.
There is a box at the top of my gift page that I could ✅ and by doing so, would deny other members access to viewing my gifts. In my mind, those gifts are now hidden from view of others.
I don’t like to delete any gift for any reason however, admittedly I have…. There’s been times that I have been short on points, didn’t want to buy points and decided to destroy a gift, sent from years ago, for the points I “needed” at that time.
As far as hiding my gifts, I have what I have and they were sent by so many different members for so many different reasons. I’m sure I decided to delete some negative gifts but there came a time that I had clarity in my thinking; why delete something that I “earned”?
