“After collecting more than a million plastic bottles, Robert Bezeau made an unconventional decision — to build an entire village out of plastic bottles. One study has found that there could be more plastic than fish in the sea by 2050, so essentially anything else is preferable, no matter how out of the ordinary. For this one we traveled to the island of Bocas Del Toro in Panama to meet the young couple about to move into their first plastic bottle home.” Village Made Out Of Plastic Bottles | Man Saves World: Plastic Bottle Village, Construction: Plastic Bottle Village Bocas del Toro Panama [Not Great Audio]: The Plastic Bottle Village: Home made Building house with waste plastic bottles: |

01) How a Less-explored Side of Narcissism Can Cause Us Harm
“The dictionary defines narcissism as “excessive or erotic interest in one’s self and one’s physical appearance.” At best, it’s a trait that others find downright aggravating. At its worst, however, narcissism can be a pervasive, destructive personality disorder. In her new book, Everyday Narcissism: Yours, Mine, and Ours, psychologist and social worker Nancy Van Dyken peers beneath the egotistical veneer to explain the roots of narcissism and how to get past it.”
Good advice…Go listen to this.

01) The Liberal Media Myth | Episode 139 (April 19, 2018)
“In this episode of The Humanist Report podcast, we’ll discuss one of the main culprits to blame for our current political predicament: American news media. Last week they cheerleaded Trump on as he illegally and unconstitutionally bombed Syria. Also, we learned the extent of the mainstream media’s corruption when a former MSNBC host, Ed Schultz exposed how much influence higher ups have on pundits’ content. We’ll also discuss UN Ambassador Nikki Haley’s hypocrisy when it comes to human rights, Democrats’ attempts to water down net neutrality legislation in California, Trump’s flip-flop on the TPP, the Republican Party’s war on the poor, Hillary Clinton’s ongoing control over the DNC, and why Bernie Sanders should endorse New York gubernatorial candidate Cynthia Nixon. We’ll close the show with interviews from two progressive congressional candidates; Tamborine Borrelli of Washington’s 10th congressional district, and Tim Canova of Florida’s 23rd. It’s a gigantic episode that covers a broad range of topics… enjoy!”

01) CNN Smears Jimmy Dore & Encourages 2nd YouTube Advertiser Boycott
“CNN published an article alleging that YouTube is still placing ads before objectionable content; and in the process, declared an all-out war against independent media by subtly suggesting that advertisers should boycott the website again—which would trigger another adpocalypse. Additionally, they slandered Jimmy Dore as a conspiracy theorist in an attempt to specifically get his channel demonetized—or worse—deleted altogether.

01) 12-year-old boy uses family credit card to fly to Bali after argument with mother
“Boy had researched airlines which allow passengers to travel without letter from parents
An Australian family were left terrified when their son was reported missing, only for it to transpire that he had stolen the family credit card and travelled alone to Bali.
As reported in 9 News, 12-year-old Drew* had a heated argument with his parents.
“He doesn’t like the word ‘no’,” his mother said.
He subsequently told them he was going to school. However, Drew had actually stolen the family credit cards and, after tricking his grandmother into giving him his passport, travelled alone to Bali. He was able to do so having researched Australian airlines which allow minors to travel with only a student ID and passport, rather than requiring a letter from a parent or guardian.
…
He ultimately spent four days alone in the country.
“It was great,” he told A Current Affair. “Because I wanted to go on an adventure.”
feinmann0: “Headline: 12yo Aussie boy stole family credit cards, and flew to Bali solo Who says 12 year old kids are not mature enough to take the initiative?”
It often amazes me, that anybody is astonished that a twelve year old is capable of doing this…Because, why on earth would they be naturally incapable of it?
Yeah…a lot of them are infantilized…but, if you don’t shelter them horridly…and let them interact with people, and the world…so long as they have the funds to pay with…there is no barrier there.
…Stealing the credit card was bad, though.
