@Shlomo remember when a RAND paper said this was the intent of the Ukraine War last year and the entire media called it fake news?

@Shlomo colleges only train Keynesian economists because only the government hires economists, and they want economists who will supply their spending agenda, and not economists that will tell them its a bad idea.

@mutageno @sardonicsmile Now it's a race against time to see if nukes kill everyone before the vaccine does.

@sardonicsmile One must be careful when one gazes into the abyss, as the abyss gazes also into you.

@thor also note that a "hashtag" used to be called a "pound sign" or just "pound" (as in when used on a phone.

So could be read "pound meat too"

@VooDooMedic is it just a COLA (cost of living adjustment) or an actual increase in welfare?

@Wopu it's to let you know there were technical issues during the stream.

@graf I use an international mail server, and 90% of my spam is in Russian, which makes it very easy to identify and delete on sight.

I'm a big fan of the gut punch which transitions into a hair-pull down into a knee to the face combo.

If you don't wear pants, the blood is easier to clean off.

@philosophy I've been recently tipping my toe into hermeticism, which has a LOT of bleedover into Taoism and Buddhism, so much so that I suspect an Indian origin.

I look at is as "different doors to the same room". You can find enlightenment through western religion if you actually go all the way.

If you pray "not my will, but thine be done" and mean it, giving up your self to be an instrument of god's will, surrendering wholly to god . . . then that's just a different door to the same room.

We went from a god that encompasses all things to a god that is perfectly loving and kind and only wants the best things for us . . . and then we created Satan to be the god of all the bad things in life like death and suffering.

Yet . . . we maintain a tradition of monotheism while practicing polytheism. It would be better if we acknowledged god similarly to the eastern Tao, as a personification of nature and reality itself, rather than a God of love and compassion.

That's my $0.02
