Probably should've spent the money fixing that instead npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist this is an underrated philosophy. like people who cc half the country on an email to make themselves look important. it's so unproductive. at any time I've got at least 300-400 unread emails and 99% of them are bullshit that doesn't affect me and I don't even need to know about it. and I'm not even talking about spam. i submit that email has been the worst invention humanity has come up with so far. i could spend 8 hours every day just reading and replying to emails npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist except he's not. civil damages cases are not a crminal conviction, but you know that. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist did they harm anyone? also, taking one day where there's a protest is using an extreme to argue the norm. fact is crime levels in DC are down. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist ready for another Viking rape and pillage raid? npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist this new immersive AI tech is wild, hey? npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist ROW!!!! land of my viking ancestors doing me proud. Haaland needs to take the field with a shield and axe next game, hed look right at home npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist imagine what India would be like if they hadn't left? npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist you sure he's not just reading the grocery list his wife gave him? npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist I believe there is a little known law that actually obliges you to stab them in the eye with a fork npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist a little observation of mine. every place I've lived where you can't view the sea or get to it easily, people are angrier and more irrational. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist might go a bit lower if the doom merchants are right, but seems to be clinging to 60k like shit to a blanket so now is as good a time as any to stack. the p2p platforms suck balks though greedy cunts wanting 25-35% over market is not on npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist I had heard Benjamin Franklin was partial to a hard cider first thing in the morning. Cider. The breakfast of champions npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist if guys in the slums of the 3rd world can make it work with a couple of pallets and a tarp, then you sir are without excuse you may need to capture a slave to waft ypu with a large feather, but apart from that..... npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist enjoy. of course, your healthcare aint free. what's your tax rate? npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist I defintely don't like food as much as that guy! npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist inspiring. I'm off the rob that bank this afternoon. wish me luck!! npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist and definitely dont use the eclectric kettle (look it up Americans. howntf do you not have them) far worse goes in them. worked with a guy who's wife was a hotel cleaner. the storuea she told......🤮 npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist Interesting he mentions Saudi and not Iran. He's a hard out Shia, Saudi is Sunni so of course he doesn't support them. Taqqiya on full display there. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist its also how you get a knock on the door from the boys in blue. keep your degeneracy offline. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist should be. theres something wrong with you if your not one. best game ever invented, been playing it since the first one. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist soccer. english named it that. and I'm still calling golf football 🖕😂🖕 npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist that's why I prefer to build things in my shed. they don't work either, but at least I can hit it with a big fucken hammer npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist what you get? vid won't play for me npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist I often lose more than that. govt steals it as "tax". basically i lose it to some fat, lazy slob that wants to bludge at home on drugs and McDonald's. oh, and I have to pay for their house too. and have to pay for their healthcare when the McDonalds gives them a heart attack. fuggen socialism sucks balls. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist oh well, if AI says so 🤣 the US govt is famous for its departments working in silos and not sharing info. but in any case, training is onenthis oractical experience is another. i am wondering why you're obsessed about the size of the US military? it would seem entirely irrelevant to the skills of any specialized teams and hownthey might compare to the rest of the world npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist a. ones got nothing to do with the other. but i did say to someone here "bet Ill get a reply referencing 9/11 🤣 b. no you don't remember correctly then. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist no, the US doesn't get hit by missiles and have to rescue its citizens like Israel does. funnily enough npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist how so? npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist well matey boy, its only going to zero when every single person agrees its worthless. given institutions are buying it, thats clearly not the case. institutions dont create runs, bubbles and crashes, they like stability so whilst its just them trading the price will stagnate. like the idiots saying house prices will crash. well only if everyone has to sell their house, but if that happens the economy will have absolutely tanked so house prices will be the least of your worries but eventually the wallies of the public will jump back in and away we go again. thats how it potentially hits $1m. which given money printer go brrr policies, simple inflation says $1m is inevitable. the real question is, is $1m going to be worth anything at that point? I've got a friend who pulls in 250k simply driving a truck in Australia. if you said in the 90s that would happen they'd have locked you up. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist why? they're experts in urban warfare, its pretty much all they do. they have expert teams for finding bodies in exploded buildings. just like Japan and New Zealand have expert dog teams to search earthquake aftermaths Australia has experts in fighting bush fires i hadn't heard the McAfee link before though npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist Don't post on Nostr before taking your pills in the morning. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist that'll be Keir Starmer shortly npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist that's a nice room. shame the rest of islamabad is such a shit hole npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist stay indoors? lol you don't have aircon, it'd be cooler outside! i remember some evenings in London watching tv sweating my bollocks off and praying for just a breeze npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist yup, I don't get you poms at all. run off to the beaches of Spain or Greece and say how wonderful it is. high 20s in old blighty though, what the world is going to end. I played cricket in Scotland for a couple of seasons 20 years ago and got fried almost every weekend it was so warm and sunny. its the UK, not fuggen Iceland. London is 50deg N, Queenstown NZ is 42deg south and if you've been there in summer it gets bloody hot. didn't see people there panicking it was the end of days. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist the last of the V8 Interceptors? npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist thats what I was wondering. but I guess people love annechonchamber so uf you tell them what they want to hear, then you're away. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist I enjoy the debate with people skeptical of the Bible more than with folks in agreement. I have to look up a lot more passages to formulate a response. Usually I find something new or look at it from a different view. One thing I didn't answer though is your comment about wisdom existing before creation. this is covered in the start of John's gospel. in the beginning was the word, the word was with God and the word was God. Jesus is referred to as the word elsewhere, which is part of the trinity belief the Jesus is God, along with the Father and the Spirit. so yes wisdom is preexistent, but not man's wiadom. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist I hate the "refer to our ToS" when you ask why. got banned driving for Uber years ago due a complaint but they wouldn't tell me what the complaint was, let alone which passenger complained, so I couldn't even make an argument in my defence. They just kept sending me the ToS saying I'd breach part of it. after a week of back and forth I got sick of it and sent them an email complaining it was all a racist plot to get rid of white drivers and only allow Indians, and I'd been talking to other drivers in yhe same position and we'd be going to media. within 5mins "on review of your case we've decided only a warning is appropriate and your account is reactivated" 🤣🤣 the race card even works for us white guys! npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist it not the bitcoin thats the problem, it's the way people zap me sats for talking shyte on here. it just encourages me to talk bollocks incessantly npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist I can see that becoming a cult hit like Romper Stomper. Russell Crowe's first major film. that was released at a time when there was resistance to Asian migration into Australia and New Zealand and I think there were the same fears it would incite anti-migrant violence. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist anti-contrails? npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist well I guess I could see things that way too. i have the wiadom to accept the Bible as the word of God, and therefore studying that gains me knowledge of who God is. but that's with an external input from God. what I was trying to get across regards philosophy is if you're just old mate in the woods trying to explain the world you experience in front of you, you'd first need some knowledge of how things worked to then think through how it all comes together and then develop a theory to explain it. but the wisdom of having a Creator for it all comes from witnessing the creation, not from an internal source. Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse. I think we're on the same page, we just have a different idea if the source. as for institutions, I don't belong to any particular church or denomination. I'm not religious, and I believe Jesus was highly anti-religion too. I take the Bible literally and am way off into the realms of giants, blood lines, fallen angels, all that good stuff. not many churches touch that stuff, and I'm not interested in a warm, fluffy version of just believe and life will be sweet, rainbows and unicorns. nah nah, once you believe it's like the Matrix - you see what it really is. you quoted a lot of Solomon in the Proverbs, but Ecclesiastes is also attributed to him Ecc 1.9 For with much wisdom comes much sorrow, and as knowledge grows, grief increases. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist yes they are, but what comes next is no better. Andy Burnham looks likely to be next and he's just another WEF stooge. and they've got a whole page on him. I keep getting "access denied" all of a sudden, lol https://www.weforum.org/people/andy-burnham/ npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist you'll have to get a new chant. maybe Keir's replacement's a wanker Keir's replacement's a wanker but I suspect Burnham will be just as bad if not worse. its not cutting the head off, merely popping the zit. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist no, I said gnosticism was worse than just being wishy washy (your words) and much more nefarious. they believe Enoch to be their founder and therefore assume the book of Enoch to be true, and therefore want to learn the knowledge referenced in it. is the book of Enoch true? is the copy we have now a faithful copy and translation? i don't know, aside from it being quoted in Jude. thats not the point though. i was simply saying what they believe. same as if I was describing what a muslim believes based on his koran, it's in no way endorsing or agreeing with it. quoting Mein Kampf doesn't make you a nazi either. we'll end up way off on a tangent in secret societies here, might be fun but time consuming. but many of my uncles were masons, one was quite high up. strange beliefs, and yes there's a fair bit of satanic influence within it. but on philosophy I should have explained better that yes I agree the word means wisdom rather than knowledge, but as it was to differentiate between a wise man and a "lover of wisdom" that would infer someone seeking wisdom. well you can't find wisdom without first acquiring knowledge. plenty of people have knowledge but fuck all wisdom, but you can't have wisdom without knowledge. and that is philosophy really. find the knowledge and then find the wisdom to apply that knowledge. as the saying goes, knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist one can say the exact same thing about you. the term philosophy was created to distinguish the seeking from actually being a sophist, a wise man. but mostly in regards the book of Enoch. you've made some wild assumptions and additions to create an idea I never said. I simply referenced the knowledge mentioned in the book of Enoch, but made no claims about what it should or shouldn't be. the Freemasons consider Enoch to be their founder (probably the other Enoch, but still). Enoch and Jashar are both referenced in the Bible, but that doesn't make them canon. Ba'al is also mentioned, doesn't mean he should be worshipped npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist Gnosticism is far worse than just being wishy washy. its an attempt to uncover the forbidden knowledge talked about in the book of Enoch. That's also what philosophy is at its heart and while translated as wisdom it really is the search for or love of knowledge. I see you wrote a lot of replies, whuch Ill try and get to but the circular reasoning one is worth the time now. you said you're from Catholicism which colours things a bit but we'll try and get there anyway. church first. it has no authority. the church is simply the collective body of believing people. when they meet they are called churches, and the 7 letters to 7 churches in Revelation is quite clear there is more than 1 church. i could spend hours on what the vatican has got wrong, but it has no authority and is a political machine that tried to co-opt Christianity as it rose in popularity but also incorporated a lot of pagan rituals to satisfy those parts of the empire too. the circular Bible argument you refer to is a bit of a red herring and I think comes from the failing of modern education where any paper you write in college has to reference other people who said the same thing, basically. two, problems. 1. this kills original thought and reinforces group think. 2. has led to the idea of truth by popular vote. you claimed at one point we can all have a unique path to God. yet the Bible provides a unique path and you reject it because its not backed up by other references? which, btw, there's plenty of extra-biblical writings and archeological evidence that support its claims in an historical sense. the only question is the supernatural parts, which can't be proven by digging in the ground. you haven't shown me how or where it was corrupted (neither has a muslim btw, and they hang their entire religion on that hook). you've explained the theory well, and its an entirely reasonable idea to any kid who played chinese whispers. but there just is no evidence of that. people have tried to, there are some shocking efforts, but they've all fallen away quickly. but its not a book, its a library of 66 books, written across centuries, in different languages and cultures, by 40 different authors all with an entirely consistent message and writes things long before they happened. the links in it are unbelievable the world's first hyperlink document as I heard someone put it, and lots are very obscure little things that don't matter in terms of the content or message, but I think are there just as a way to authenticate it and avoid manipulation. because its impossible to replicate. you cannot get 40 people round the world now that don't know each other to write a coherent book even if you give them the cues. much less across centuries. whats more interesting is that it has survived. the entire might of the Roman empire tried to crush it and you provide examples of people's lifes work being erased. not only that but the people who claimed to be eyewitnesses were prepared to die, quite horribly often, rather than recant. you don't die for something you know is a lie you made up. members of a cult wull die for the bullshit, but the cult leaders usually miraculously survive. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist sedans ain't cool. a small red convertible will be the go. ideally 2 door. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist this seems similar to what my neighbor argues. the one thing, as he likes to say. I think the physical world we experience is just a very small part of actual reality. that's why these things are difficult to debate satisfactorily as if there is a God outaide this reality that created it, then we can never understand from inside the machine. but how would such a God reveal anything of himself to beings who can't comprehend? I once worked in a very hot, tropical country where if it dipped below 20C overnight it was a disaster. trying to explain to them what a frosty morning feels like was impossible. they just have no concept of it. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist oh no, i've studied lots of things and views. for the record I was raised in a very conservative Christian home (Americans might evangelicals, idk) but spent much of my early adult life traveling the world, chasing skirt, and indulging in all sorts of things legal and not so legal, shall we say. philosophy has it's place, but its very limited. my neighbor and I debate this long into the nights, where he believes meditation and thinking deeply will lead you to God. meditating and allowing the "universe" to provide you the answer will give you an answer. but do you know who or what is answering you. you're not going to find God inside yourself unless you think you are God. there is no circular argument for Christianity. Its quite straightforward, really. a Christian is a follower of Christ (as I'm sure you know is basically Greek for Messiah) so the only questions are is the Bible true? then who is Jesus? the reason I reduce the argumrnts against to "some dude" is a rather flippant way to say many, many men have debated and contemplated these things and who God might be long before Jesus walked the earth. the later arguments about the Bible being altered, mistranslated, twisted, edited, etc etc are very old but without evidence. those that study such things, even secular ones, agree that what we have today is pretty much what was written in the oldest documents found. take the Isaiah scroll for example. roughly 125BC dating. So about 700 years after Isaiah is believed to have lived. if what we have today in the Bible is still accurate to a 2200yo scroll given the explosion of travel and language changrs around the world, then we could safely assume that scroll is faithfully accurate over jist 700 years guven its in the same language. so personally I find the "altered text" arguments to be circular as they just hang on an assumption of the length of yime rather than any proof. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist debating what may have been destroyed or not is a fruitless exercise. what information was lost in Alexandria? a few 2nd hand excerpts are nothung to hang one's hat on. so some dude in the past disagreed with the church (and btw, I disagree with the Catholic church on most fronts). so what? people have always written such stuff, or similar. I'm not in favour of silencing critics, it's much better to simply expose where they're wrong. but by the same token, just because someone was silenced doesn't mean they have some hidden knowledge. they might just be full of shit and everyone was sick of listening to them. the new testament was likely mostly written in Greek, but the old testament was written in Hebrew, albeit many of the copies surviving were translated into Greek. but surprise, surprise, people wrote in the lingua franca of the day. which was Koine Greek btw used across the ancient world and a bit different to traditional Ancient Greek. A bit like international English is not what the British would call "the King's" we have copies. Wes Huff is pretty good in this area at explaining how ancient texts are authenticated. yes the path is personal, onky you can walk it for you. but there is still only one path. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist I'd like to say I have some idea what all that means and provide a well thought out, nuanced opinion. but.....Gladiator was a fukn great movie. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist it was in relation to the previous comment about parts of the Bible not being true. my point was its either true or its not, we can't just pick and choose the bits we like on a given day. if it is true and there is a God - happy days, we have something to follow it can't be true and there is no God. - logical impossibility. if its not true but there is a God - then theres a lot confusion and we can be sure about anything if its not true and there is no God - nihilism is the natural outcome. you can make up meaning if it makes you feel beeter, but ultimately if it just ends when you die then there is no point to anything and certainly no benefit to sacrificing anything in your life. jusr do what you want and fuck everyone else. as for God existing prior, John says in the beginning was the word and the word was with God and was God. it may have been compiled in the book form we have today around the 4th century, but that doesn't mean it didn't exist prior. for God to have a plan the word and truth must've existed before the world was even created. othereise if it all took him by surprise then he cannot be the God of the Bible. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist well you're quite wrong, I'm sorry to tell you. but I guess if the Bible isn't true, there is no God, so nothing matters. a bit dark and fatalistic, but there we are. all the best. hope you find what you're looking for npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist wow. God is Satan? just.....wow. lets just say I'm happy for you that you've got yourself out of the Utah cult. but I think you've quite the journey (as much as I hate that phrase) to clear some things in your mind. yes, God will accept you just as you are and forgive you anything if you ask for it. and that's the same God in the OT, just look at some of what David got up to. sent a guy off to the front lines so he could shag his wife. but it's not a free for all, do whatever you like, its all good. the book of Judges says peoole lived like that, did what was right in their own eyes, and that was a pretty awful time to be alive. interestingly lines up with the Bronze Age collapse, where the powerful nations died out and would've been the wild west with little law enforcement. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist oh is that what you think, cunt? outside, right now. imma fuck you up npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist Leviticus 19:28 would beg to differ Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.(kjv) npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist not sure about the video being referenced here, but it worked for me. during covid part ofnthe stimulus here was to allow full write off on business equipment instead of havung to depreciate it over a few years. bought a new truck, got 40% discount with the sales tax refund and then write off against my income. happy days. paid cash though. probably not worth it if you're financing. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist its parked in what appears to be the middle of nowhere, and someone just happened to be standing a safe distance away filming it. what a happy coincidence npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist https://image.nostr.build/a037855a1c09f122a8943a5c806abeaebb8a14558cee090826c89d540b33831a.jpg and if you want a nice meal while you appreciate the art work npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist you're not the first person I've heard suggest Starmer might call a GE and take the whole party down with him. I doubt it though. it would destroy Labour and he'd havr to fear for his personal safety npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist So Burnham won, I see. How long before they launch the leadership challenge or will Starmer resign by the weekend? And for any Poms, will Burnham be better, worse, or just held hostage by the same very left backbenchers and bureaucrats? I don't really know much about the guy. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist why are there a load of bots on Nostr that just ask dumb questions? i don't understand the point. are people just trying to make Nostr seem busier? that sort of shit will definitely drive people away npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist go fuck yourself, botcunt npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist this ia just a 60 day ceasefire. theyll be back at it by end of August npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist but I think we'll all care a bit shortly Seattle's woketards decided one of the game's they host had to be a pride game. the game that will be full of poofters and rainbow flags is........Egypt v Iran 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 can I be the one to tell them? go on, please! npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist meh, they kicked me out in the 90s when it was INS. I don't recall getting shot in the face, but it was a long time ago now. memory ain't what it was. also, a cap on immigration simply stops people coming in. if your population is falling, then people are heading for the exits. not a good sign. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist he's making Biden look like Einstein. so companies just don't list publicly, which means they don't raise capital, which means they stay small and foreign AI companies leave them behind. oh, and of courae an poli worth over $1m will suddenly find an Omar-sized error in their accounts and suddenly be worth five eighths of fuck all npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist its not the politicians, although some of them aren't mentally well. but they are just the pawns out front. the real problem is the deep state bureaucracy that knows if a politician actually wants to change anything, they can just slow play the ball and obstruct for 3-4 yeara and that guy will get voted out. the politicians have very little actual power npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist well yes it is, but not bevauae you kick the ball. it was called football because it was a ball game played on foot bybthe commoners, as opposed to the rich bastards who played their sports on horseback. so saith Stephen Fry, so GFY if you think you know better! 😂 thats why rugby is called rugby football. and you have American football. technically golf is a form of football too. although soccer seems to mostly be played writhing on the ground in faux agony rather than being on yourr feet, so soccer is definitely a better name. or wendyball perhaps. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist not a soccer fan either, even though I played a few seasons. was a handy keeper, 50% saves on penalties and a league trophy to show for it. but by fuck it's a boring watch. that said, watching the Scots and Dutch fans going off looks like a great party. and yrs, it is soccer. you Englush named it that npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist It never had anything to do with kids, but to force adults to hand over their ID for everything. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist that's because Aussies are pissweak. I've spent a fair bit of time there, and they all bitch and moan about everything but never have the balls to stand up to authority. got stuck there during covid. i havr nevrr seen a nation so willingly bend over and take it in the ass. It was quite frightening to watch. I expected a country founded by criminals would be the first to revolt. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist or, 1. get elected to office. 2. steal everyone else's money npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist I had a root canal done. my nerves are in a weird spot in my jaw apparently, but anyway this sadistic cunt wouldn't believe me the anesthetic wasn't working. so I had to sit yhrough a root canal and feel every fucken bit of it. when I went back to see the prick to get it checked he wanted to do something else. I'm quite a big guy but my exact words to him were "mate, if you ever do anything like the last time I'm going to put your fucken head through that wall" he went pale and uh, oh, um, maybe I'll get the senior dentist to come and do it. a very wise choice, young grasshopper. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist some bloke down the pub said this is bullshit npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist buying starbucks makes you a poor judge of coffee, at the very least npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist but don't confuse that fot pacifism. nowhere does it say if you see someone oppressing the weak and the poor to turn a blind eye. quite the opposite npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist have they not learned from 500 years of their own history? tyrannical control simply produces pirates and revolutionaries. the US could've been a well behaved member of the Commonwealth if old George had just wound his neck in a bit. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist the bigger problem is he also has no idea what he's trying to accomplish! hes in a holding pattern. if Burnham wins Makerfield, Starmer is gone and he knows it. if Reform get up (can't see Restore having the numbers) then he's safe for now. but will probably lash out in revenge. he's a lame duck, but can do a lot of damage before Labour find their balls and oust him npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist I believe Alaska is literally like that. Inside city limits you have to follow the code, but out in the wilderness you can build whatever you like however you like. just don't cry if iy comes crashing down around your ears. npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist nah mate. I'm GenX, we're from '65-80. oldest GenXers are 60 and mostly still working, to pay for the bullshit of younger generations. the UK takes 330bn income tax, but spends 350bn on welfare payments. most of those collecting welfare arr more than capable of working in Australia, country of 27m, they have 4 levels of government: local, state, federal plus a senate. ofbtheir population only 10m are workforce age and of them 30% are employed in some level of government. so you have 7m citizens trying to support 20m non-productive members of society. its fucken bullshit. as Mike and the Mechanics sang, every generation blames the one before. bit this has nothing to do with generations, and no single point of failure. its a collective failure of living beyond our means for decades and eventually someone has to pay for it. problem is nobody does. back to Aussie for a minute. votibg is compulsory there, with about 19m being voting age. so even if all 7m productive workers voted in a bloc (and they won't, because vast numbers are unionized) you've got 3m will vote to keep their cushy govt job, and another 9m on some form of handout that won't vote to end it. they're fucked. most western countries will be similar. we cannot vote our way out. its at the point of just set fire to it all and start again npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist you said "The sudden ability to borrow easily from future generations must be like crack, and boomers are all crackheads." anger? maybe not, but certainly doesn't read like you're a big supporter. my point is it's nothing to do with boomers. its the generation that lived through both wars that set the economic scene. it to be fair, after going through the austerity of 2 world wars and great deoression, can you blame them getting over excited by the promise of abundant wealth? npub1ap5rtukal9af56elyg6077untu9wgqmyrfhwrcpeqcsydl8f9gpqq39lpm Moist but in terms of wages, what happened around 71 was the result of the feminist bs of the 60s. the workplace got flooded with women wanting more than secretarial/tyoist positions. nevermind their gender, in broad economic terms you doubled the workforce but didn't create new jobs. basic supply and demand principles will tell you what happens to wages then. same thing is happening now with mass migration. and women flooded the middle ground. very few started businesses, and men still dominated the physical, dangerous jobs and those jobs are very well paying still. but its the mid-level, medium skilled jobs that might want a uni degree that women are competing in, and those are the jobs a man could support a family on 50 years ago, but not any longer. that side of it has nothing to do with the gold standard or monetary policy. arguably we'd be even worse off if "cheap" money wasn't so readily available
