Any Bridgerton fans? New season, new Penelope.

Is it out already???

Yep!

I am feeling better!!!!
I’ve been plodding through an abridged version The Arabian Nights for about 6-8 months and got to a point where I think the actual stories, the themes and plots compound in complexity as you read through all the nights (how’s that for Islamic aesthetics, jeez Louise).
I already miss the earlier nights, so I got part 1 of 3 of a “complete” translation. Part 1 seems to be just as big as my “complete” abridged version. If I can read all these AND all of Billy Shakespeare, man. That’ll be a life well-read.
(I can already imagine all the more strange and obscure classics to read after. Ha ha ha…)

So, I saw a user on Nostr message. He's a guy. He was going off that he wants to have kids, but every lady he meets has been vaxed. Furthermore, he worries that it might have alternated the womb or environment to raise a child. He can't seem to find a lady that is unvaxed. Out of curiosities? Does anyone feel the same?
reply
we have been treated with all sorts of injectables, ingestables, inhalables, and absorbables since a very early age, and finally people are starting to panic? plus, i suspect it's like a lottery. check their batch #. finally, if a man or a woman is starting to see and attempting to leave the matrix, he or she should be encouraged and supported along the way.
reply
Most injectable back in the day were noble. That's my point. But now it's not so much. the government has left it up to big corporate pigs to do their bidding.
reply
lol, were they really? don't trust, verify. look at the number of polio cases vs timing of the injectable roll-out. this is the most popularized example of the noble cause.

anyone following the collapsing bridge phenomenon in US cities? I heard another went down recently, true?
reply
The NTSB just released the report on the Key Bridge collapse, so it's been back in the news -- maybe that's what you heard about? I haven't heard any other stories, though it's been a crazy news cycle, and a smaller one might not get as much attention.

Announcement: Cricket T20 World Cup Survivor Pool on Stacker_Sports

Request every stacker to join the pool and discussion.

Just something I was thinking about. What are peoples thoughts on the USA funding the war in Ukraine and Israel?
reply
Opposed
Stay humble. Stack sats.
reply
You think it is just a land grab?
reply
I think both conflicts are a bit more complicated than that, but both of them are land grabs.
reply
or resource grabs? I just dont get why we need to fund ukraines war, and israel. Why did israel get support faster than ukraine?
reply
Israel is incredibly powerful and smart. That little piece of land of Israel has been surrounded by enemies for decades and has squashed all conflict via technology, medicine, weapon etc. What is not covered is that Iran fired 500+ missiles at Israel but roughly only over half 300ish+ made it to the air. Everyone saw the fireworks, right? Naturally, US would support such a defense system.
reply
I just dont get Israel. If it is so bad and wartorn...MOVE.
reply
But they're winning? I'm not supporting them. Don't mistake me. I think it's ridiculous if we look from a third POV. What country did the weapons come from? How did they get them is the better question.
They also told Israel they were firing all those missiles. It was just a bunch of war theater.
reply
But the threat was never real. How can it be real if your enemy gets only 60% of missiles in the air if they're using supposedly top of the line technology? The other 40 missing fire?
A way to get rid of their garbage so they can buy more.
The point isn't to fund the conflicts. The point is to fund Boeing, Ratheon, and Lockhead Martin who are all major campaign donors of both parties.
reply
Will it really help fund them? Arent these kind of small scale skirmishes?
reply
Not at all. The Ukraine conflict literally exhausted all of the available munitions that NATO nations could supply.
These are major customers of the military industrial complex.
Not even on the list today... oh the shame haha

Zap big. Zap often.

grayruby I'm very impressed! why not publish it as previous?
reply
You mean the daily post?
I just started doing the daily accountability in the saloon rather than making a post about it every day.
reply
Yes. I know, but they have previous. Which I thought was cool. why not implement?
how to do it? just paste this SN item today for tomorrow?
reply
Yes. I use the same comment and just change the number every day.

I've been taking my cat outside for a morning sit in the sun lately. He's really happy about it. He gets treats for being a good boy. 100 sats = 1 treat for mr. poopy, my cat

I hope mr. poopy enjoys his treat.

TFW you go over some lyrics you wrote years and years ago And you stumble upon a couple of random lines that you had completely forgotten about But they encapsulate PERFECTLY what you're feeling right now What a reminder of the cyclicality of life And, I guess, also a reminder of why one writes in the first place, which is... To remind oneself :)

My students had their exams today!
Before Fatherhood Stayed back after school to feverishly mark the scripts, anxious to know how my students fared (and by extension, how good a teacher I was).
After Fatherhood Left school as early as possible so that I could binge watch Rebooting on Netflix while drinking my Friday can of beer and stacking sats via my beloved Cointiply. The show was so absorbing that I decided to give up my nap in the process. Rushed to pick my kids up from their childcare centre at the last minute possible. Precious and rare ME time trumps everything.

It's so important to find time to recharge your emotional batteries.

Earned Fiat $109 while I was sleeping last night and stacked about 20k sats here yesterday with quite a few hours of work. 👀
I know I shouldn't pay too much attention on the numbers, and this might sound crazy, but I'm having way more fun in SN than in my other setup. Maybe it reminds me of those early times when everything was fresh and exciting, and you are adventuring to see what's out there.

The Art of Problem Solving
  1. Write down what you want to make it happen
  2. Break it down into small steps for execution
  3. Go through all the options in your head or write them down to see each option would lead to what, and choose the ones you think make the most sense
  4. Keep testing and improving
For simple problems, just do from 3-4; and what's your problem solving hack? 🤓
reply
reply
avoiding problems is a bad practice, they wont go away themselves:p
reply
This principle can also be applied to the writing process, I guess!
reply
or a better way - solve your problem first, then write down what you've been through and tried ( I love reading books like this, people used to just learn things from trial and error ).
Then others don't need to waste time doing the same thing again if people are being honest saying what they've tested and what worked / failed - > more time to solve other problems.
reply
Yeah, that’s better, definitely.

Actions used to lower your Status

1/n
Within the Public World, which is controlled by legislation and private organisations, you will often encounter people who will try and get you to accept a title, in an attempt to lower your status below their own.
Note: The government’s version of “the public” is in fact a private group requiring membership, which is controlled by the state and should not to be confused with the true meaning of the word “Public” referring to common land.
Using titles is one way to lower your status; another is to make you accept a course of action.
Carrying out the following actions will strip you of your status as Sovereign and reduce you to the lowest status within a court of administration or judicial court.
Make a Plea
If you are asked to “make a plea”, you have just been stripped of your rights, and been given only two choices, either guilt or not guilty.
The word Plea is short for plead, meaning to make an emotional appeal, such as begging.
However as a living breathing man or woman you have a third option, and that is to question the validity of the claim made against you. In other words, if a claim or charge has been made against you, you request they prove it.
reply
Great post! How do you come up with such philosophy. Any book or website suggestion?

did you join the community or took the course?
reply
neither. just made an account to be able to access the material. never paid anything for this knowledge

Pleading mean accepting slavery. This is so true.
