They acted like McCarthy was overreacting, but look where we are now

It's upsetting but then I wonder what happened to them in their life that made them mad at God.

Beef tallow for my deep fryer

There's no incentive to allow OPEC and Iranian oil/LNG an easy route to market right now. Quite the opposite.

They're taking a few sections of Revelations out of context. Any part of the Bible should be read in the context of the rest of the Bible. None of it is meant to stand alone.

"technology" Actually trend is both increasing dependence on technology to do our thinking for us and also demographic shifts due to mass migration from parts of the world where the average IQ is very low. You can't say that last part though because you're not supposed to believe that such racial differences exist.

I would like to see more thoughtful long-from posts on here and less "Bitcoin gud!" Exclamations. Let's raise the IQ of the room for everyone's sake.

Christian Zionists are poor biblical students. The Bible is replete with examples of God rebuking his chosen people when they turn their backs on him and he often uses other races to bring his righteous retribution down upon them. If modern day Jews continue to turn away from God by denying Christ as the Messiah, then I can only assume that any persecution or hardship they face is the hand of God rebuking them yet again, and if so then it's not my place as a Christian to intervene against the will of God until such time as the Jewish people repent and accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

Yes. Why was it not incentive to end the war quickly? The US certainly has the capability. Keeping Russia in that war for pretext to continue sanctions on Russia was the greater incentive.

The longer it remains closed, the more deals American producers get to lock in place with energy import dependent Asian nations. There is always an angle, and the angle here is about America dominating the global oil/LNG market.

The blank stares when you explain nostr to normies get old. Sometimes it's nice to talk about how great nostr is with people who actually get it, and they're all on nostr. 🤣

It's not in the interest of the United States to allow OPEC and Iranian oil/gas an easy route to the global market right now. Russia sanctions, taking over Venezuela, war with Iran shutting down the straight of Hormuz... It's all connected and it's all part of a power play to dominate a global market that every country on earth depends on.

Not giving a fuck is the most liberating experience. I often pity people who still have fucks to give over what others think of them.

IRS: time to pay Me: how much I owe IRS: secret... Guess... Me: $600? IRS: jail!

That a very long winded way to say that value is subjective. ALL VALUE IS SUBJECTIVE There is no such thing as intrinsic value. Value is 100% a subjective judgement that can change at any time.

It's the lack of accountability while claiming to be a moral authority that is most offensive

Not of significant strategic value against China. Keeping pretext to sanction Russian oil was the greater incentive. The mineral deal for Greenland secures important access to resources needed to maintain the war machine. Greenland was necessary after Biden pulled the military out of Afghanistan and let it fall to the Taliban, which shut the door on mineral exploration there. Greenland is closer to home and less of a liability but it will still take a decade or more to have any extraction at scale. In the meantime China has control of the majority of rare earth mineral supplies.

Unfortunately I see a lot of resistance to doing anything to prevent spam. It's the libertardian belief that a system can always self correct without intentional guidance. There is a human element to maintaining a free society that requires occasionally deliberate intervention against bad actors.

Tom, bless his heart, gave us a community place where we could be ourselves, customize our profiles and interact with one another in a wholesome way. But then Zuckerfuck had a realization that changed the Internet forever: in the ad-supported business model of the Internet, websites worked hard to put up engaging content that would draw traffic and ad views... But what if you had the users of the site produce the content for free? Corral users into your digital pasture and they all provide endless content for one another to engage with, and all you have to do is maintain the servers and sell ad space. Then you develop an algorithm that pays attention to what type of content each user engages with the most and fill their feed with a never ending stream of whatever they'll click on to keep them scrolling all day. Use the same algorithm that catalogues their interests to make advertising targeted. They're bound to click though an ad and complete a sale eventually. This became a multi-billion dollar industry. Meta Platforms now has a market cap of $1.71 trillion, and the Internet lost it's soul. Billions of people are still stuck in the corporate social media farm. It's up to us to build nostr and make a free community for more people to escape to where they can rediscover the spirit of the free Internet.

As long as it doesn't disturb the core functionality and original purpose then add whatever you want, but yes extreme caution should be exercised to make sure that condition is met by any feature additions.
