1/9

Comment: good morning world. Just thinking as typing here. It's not a habit starting doing this, yet bear with me please. It can happen.
To me, this isn't issue of right or left (to extremes) per se. Yet, is there a failing?
I think so.
Sat, thinking...it occurred-->

that i am looking to find solutions. And following, that I am and think alone. (Its the way it is here.) So, not being in a constant or really, anytime chat to talk of. I wonder ... as i am here-and-now, what can be done?

We're in it, aren't we!
Indeed we are.

this and that somewhat more than reading. I get a picture of say, excited distress in many. Okay, not all? But meaning here, it doesn't take to act to be the way i may have you envisage it. Not violently. I just think of a state to this. But, who does it encompass?

Well-->

if I'm on the right line to thinking. Then this is a true and utter MF. Not just contemporary from what I glean. Though exceptional today.
If we, those who are concerned to resolve peacefully. If we don't get a grip. I think it's then Nature makes humanity walk the plank.-->

It won't matter where or who one is. I think this is clear.

Anyhow, we're also clever in the main. Categorizing individuals, groupings and all that. It won't cut the mustard now. But i see differences, i do.
Now and again, more and more frequently, it occurs that -->

My view on lent:

My biggest problem with lent is the public display of fasting which is contrary to scripture: Matthew 6:16-18

Just as well, overhearing discussions of humble brags, “oh man, this is so hard fasting from x” while displaying ashes on one’s forehead seems overtly contrary to scripture. Again, Matthew 6:16-18 is clear.

Additionally it has been my experience that repentance and fasting lose much of their substance for those practicing the tradition.

However....

We cannot oversimplify and call lent a “Roman Catholic invention” or a “pagan” practice given its presence, minimally the term, in the early church with people like Athanasius.

In the modern conception: Advent is to Christmas what lent is to Easter. While asceticism is removed and shallow tradition enters into the practice, this can happen in most everything.

KIKI NO GO FUCK? – EMBRACING THE HUMANITY OF CELEBRITIES

“Kiki no go fuck?” – This was the response of one tweeter user to another who showed surprise that the popular Twitter feminist watches porn after her account was spotted liking a porn video.

The question has since gone viral and has become popular catchphrase among twitter users. The surprise showed by the twitter user is not unconnected with the supernatural expectations people have of celebrities and other famous persons.

They are expected to live up to a code of conduct in which everyone is both judge and jury. It doesn’t matter if they are academically sound or not, they are expected to be knowledgeable in all things.

They are expected to speak in a particular way – polished. They are expected to dress perfectly – perfection to be determined by every other person. They are expected to be sensitive enough to understand the historical context of a word in 1748 that makes it offensive in 2020....

... so as not to come off racist.

Their marriages are expected to duplicate the PDA of Michelle and Barack Obama while outlasting the existence of Rome.

BUT THEY ARE HUMANS...

THREAD: My thoughts on the decision not to call witnesses. Please correct me if I'm wrong. This take is based on what I think I know, and there's much I don't know, but I do not understand why the dems didn't depose Rep. Beutler. Let's talk about the objections: 1/

First, many are saying it would drag this thing out and prevent Biden's agenda from moving forward. I don't see how that's possible. The senate had the votes to depose Rep. Beutler. We saw that with the 55-45 vote to allow witnesses. GOP can't filibuster that 2/

It would have taken probably a week to depose her and introduce her testimony into the senate record. The senate is scheduled to be in recess this week. The only thing a deposition of Beutler would have done is stopped the senate's vacation. 3/

Since everything would have been done in roughly a week, and the senate was scheduled for a week-long vacation, the deposition of Beutler wouldn't have delayed any of Biden's agenda. 4/

Next, many are saying Mitch threatened to filibuster Biden's agenda. That's also an empty threat. Cabinet confirmations require only a simple majority vote, and the Covid relief package is going through the budget reconciliation process so it's not subject to filibuster 5/

@DawgLaser @GravelInstitute Rush Hudson Limbaugh III (/ˈlɪmbɔː/ LIM-baw; January 12, 1951 – February 17, 2021) was an American radio personality, conservative political commentator, author, and television show host.

You know what?

I *will* without a doubt regret this.

But I'm going to watch Mike Pence read out the last returns before I go to sleep.

Also.

FUCK YEAH, AMERICA!!!!

That was not sarcasm. Hell, I've got Lee damn Greenwood running through my head right now.

We had a no-kidding attempted coup today. One of the two guys who would have benefitted from that coup is standing in the chamber of the House - which was occupied by seditionists hours ago - signing off on his electoral defeat.

I never, in a thousand years, thought I would say this.

But I say thee ye, Michael Pence.

This column by @ezraklein is very good and I agree with him 100% on policy -- we need a generous child allowance now. But I'm seeing this creeping argument on the left that it's just not important for women to work outside the home, and that's concerning.

Working 60 hours a week at two or three jobs? That's obviously awful. Being paid so poorly that you have no time for your family or leisure? That's not "dignity," that's exploitation. And it is single moms who bear the brunt of this.

But while the argument that at-home work is just as valuable as paid work may be morally correct, in our capitalist reality, not working outside of the home leaves women incredibly financially and physically vulnerable. It also leaves them isolated, depressed, and anxious.

wrote a whole book about this, but paid work is good for women. Not three jobs at $7.50 an hour to stay afloat. But work for pay, which offers a purpose outside of raising one's own children, and friends and coworkers and a $$ lifeline outside the nuclear family.

When women wind up financially dependent on men, good things do not follow. Of course there are individual stories of this working out just fine. But over the whole of a society, women as carers and men as earners is not a good system.

The Kikuyu reached a point they hated anybody who talked about corruption. They boycotted reading DN for David Ndiis column that chronicled Jubilee plunder. Seventh thread on Railaphobia – LONG THREAD, YOU CAN DISCARD

If Raila was that bad for giving Uhuru competition, you would imagine that hatred would be over once he decided to support Uhuru. This was the first contradiction. A common accusation again was that he is very selfish; he must be up to something

The Kikuyu accuse Raila of killing democracy in Luoland, yet they hated SK Macharia for supporting Raila in 2013. They even boycotted advertising with Inooro and citizen radio. They hated Tabitha of Keroche and boycotted summit beer – Saying Raila was shareholder

They would say how Luos are slaves of Raila but reserve the severest insults for Kikuyus who don’t support Uhuru. They were happy when Raila was barred from patronizing a Karatina hotel and when NASA was barred from holding a rally in Thika.

The same things done to them by Moi government, they never cared about happening to other people. They never even wanted to hear about corruption. Some Kikuyus openly confessed boycotting Nation newspaper because of David Ndii’s column – it talked too much about corruption.

Benjamin Fulford Report: "Liberty Dawns on Humanity" -- December 7, 2020 | Operation Disclosure

@RabbiArielSton1 can you help me. i was concerned about the safety and well being of a person, who was alleged to have right leaning tendencies. in my concern, i reached out. his patterns escalated, and now i am constantly bullied with swastika imagery from antifa.

i have been a long term campaigner against nazi-ism in portland---and young antifa, refuse to research my work. due to my interest in de-radicalising someone, i am bullied by people like @realfrostylady who seek to punish me with brutal swastika imagery.

every time, careless antifa, blast my account with this horrifying image of swastikas, i feel persecuted, and they do not respect the way that it traumatic to me, to do this work, and have no respect. i have tried to educate on holocaust. worked at museum, read huge amounts.

my Jewish ancestry is less provable than many, and i have sincerely believed i have little bits of Jewish due to stories, and names. but does it matter? if i feel in my heart, connected to that pain, why must they brutally inflict more trauma on me. my loved ones from israel...

my loved ones from israel, are separated from me, and it was perhaps an original hate crime against me, that antifa seek to abuse me with further. perhaps it was to punish my many jewish friends, or past lovers. can you ask them to stop. the people involved with torturing me

#Fractals #Mandelbrot. Powerful insights. Using some of the concepts of that framework. The Micro and the Macro (aggregation of Micros); imagine if you will, we as a Species wanted to populate other planets. How would we do it? What structure, design makes most sense?

We might want incorporate our Creation in a manner similar to how we arrived at said new planet. Largest cell in humans is Female Egg. Smallest cell is male sperm. The big bang in "Creation of life" is a fusion of those two. Imagine an asteroid that carried our #DNA (it is sperm)

And hit the proverbial Egg (another planet) to seed life. Our bodies rebuild every part of themselves every 7 years. All of it, no single cell is supposedly left from previous build. Imagine if you will the 3 billion plus lines of code in every one of our living cells containing

Not only all the knowledge of our species but the assembly blocks to create an organic organism that had a brain to interpret the very material in our DNA? Furthermore, imagine if we had embedded antennas to share knowledge across time and space (ants and bees come to mind).

As we go through life we encode, capture these experiences and pass them, as they move from short term memory to long term memory via the rebuilding process of every cell in our body overtime. For years, people have talked about us evolving from animals, what if every plant and
