  1.  @Tinky1rs  They use the staff of hermes because it is a symbol for the hermetic arts, alchemy, which is the origin of pharmaceuticals (medicines). Some say that the staff of hermes is associated with scam artists and thieves though, because most alchemists were con artists, and that one should beware any practitioner which uses the staff of hermes.

  6. Yeah, fasting is the main key to slowing and reversing the adverse effects of aging. But diet is also a factor. Try eating more raw foods and less cooked foods and notice how much younger you feel. Avoid refined sugars and foods high in natural or added sugars and avoid eating a lot of meat then notice how you feel. Exercise is good but avoid too much impactive exercise. Try dancing instead. It's a non-impactive form of exercise.

  7.  @Algardraug  Yes, it IS true. You seem to be oblivious to the fact I said the caduceus is considered to be associated with scam artists and thieves. Or is it you compulsively argue with people due to a quarellsome nature? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12197200 The staff of asclepius is NOT a symbol for alchemy or alchemists and was not used by the alchemists who were also healers. Again, it was from alchemists that chemistry and pharmaceuticals originated. Therefore it's appropriate to use the caduceus if you practice the sort of medicine which uses synthetic pharmaceuticals as opposed to more natural medicine such as herbs.

  13.  @_whatthefacts_  The unexplainable disappearance of the wavelike interference pattern of the single particle double slit experiment when the which-way info is detected has been cited as proof of "simulation theory" (the theory that reality is a computer simulation). It's claimed this otherwise unexplainable phenomena can easily be explained/understood as a more detailed rendering. The wavelike interference pattern is explained as a less detailed rendering which appears when you aren't looking at which slit the particle went through. It's like a crappy rendering engine with noticeable "glitches".

  16. What makes the original post even scarier is the fact that neural interfaces are now becoming a reality and I'm NOT referring to neuralink but rather the so-called "non-invasive" neural interfaces such as those which use "neural dust" (nanotech sensors injected into the veins some of which then lodge in the brain/body where they can read and send signals). This could make the "matrix" a reality. Wait, maybe we're ALREADY in the matrix but just don't know it. Could be the chinese put neural dust in the intravenous pharmaceuticals manufactured in china (most pharmaceuticals are manufactured there) and then one day we all entered a computer controlled collective dream as our bodies fell to the ground while we remained oblivious to what was really going on around us with the chinese invading the US and gathering all our bodies to harvest the organs from the healthy, perhaps preserving only our mind by using us as lab rats for research into achieving "immortality" by copying the mind into a computer perhaps a prototype of the Metaverse. Of course, we now know THAT reality (the one we once believed to be base reality) was probably just a simulation too, a video game like "Civilisation" or "the Sims". In other words, it may be none of this is real anyway. If so, then do you really own anything? It may be klaus schwabb was simply trying to wake us up to that reality. The Great Reset involves transhumanisation after all.

  17.  @notusedexer  LOL! I'm actually very knowledgeable when it comes to the topic of physics and I know why you say that. I will agree that there is something wrong or missing in typical explanations of orbital mechanics. This makes it seem like orbits are not possible. I won't get into the details of all that because that is off topic. All I will say is that all you need to do is look at other planets and their moons or venus or mercury to see that orbits are indeed possible. Unless you believe that the luminaries in the night sky are all a holographic illusion created by TPTB for some reason. Regardless, even people who don't believe in satellites believe they are high altitude ballons. Starlink exists as does the satellites (or whatever they are) for satellite TV. Why else would you need to aim your satellite dish receiver at the points in the sky where the satellite (or whatever) is located?

  28.  @kamilahmartin5160  You seemed to have got derailed on a tangent and missed the point. The point was that the madness which fuels "innovation" is ultimately destroying the world. That fact is what makes it madness. They used to burn such people as witches or at least lock them up. Sometimes I think to myself maybe that wasn't such a terrible idea after all. Such innovators go to show you how people can be a danger to themselves and others despite insisting they would never hurt anyone. Brings to mind the saying: "the road to hell is paved with good intentions". Of course, the society which puts to use such innovations are ultimately to blame for their destruction because nobody is forcing them to use the dangerous innovations and they know the harm it causes. That makes society itself in general "5150". I'm sure there are inventors and innovators with solutions to the problems created by the dangerous innovations but so far they tend to not get the support they need to succeed. In the end we are left with destructive garbage.

  30. The fact that sex discrimination (as defined by title 7 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964) was recently decided to include discrimination against LGBT people (in the Supreme Court ruling of Bostock v Clayton County Georgia) would seem to prevent local (state/county/city) governments from refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. I don't see how marriage equality for same-sex couples could be overturned without contradicting and violating the Bostock v Clayton County Georgia ruling by commiting sex discrimination against the LGBT community...unless the 14th amendment were repealed. But even if the 14th amendment were repealed, same-sex marriage would still seem to be recognized on the federal level by United States v Windsor which was decided based on the unrrpealable 5th amendment, a fundamental and unalienable right enumerated in the Bill of Rights. All IMO, of course.

  31.  @dertythegrower  Yeah, other options include free decentralized wifi hotspots and ISP's created using IoT which are not only effectively free but which also pay money to owners of devices for allowing their devices to forward/relay communications between sender and intended reciever. So, why are people still paying for centralized internet connections with decentralized options available?

  32.  @dorfsteen  I'm not sure what you're saying. Are you saying you can't get a satellite phone to work out in the midwest. Sorry but I can't believe that. There is no reason why that would be. Even if satellites were fake you'd still be able to get so-called satellite service in the midwest the same as anywhere else. You understand that cell phones aren't satellite phones right? Sounds like you don't understand that and so think you should be able to get cell phone service anywhere because you think cell phones communicate directly with satellites. Let me make it clear and simple just to be sure. Cell phones don't communicate directly with satellites. When you make an international call overseas the call may be relayed through satellites but the call goes through the cell phone towers before it gets relayed through satellites (if it even goes through a satellite at all which it might not).
    3
  33.  @dorfsteen  Whether satellites are real or not, or whether calls are routed overseas via undersea cables, is irrelevant to how cell phones work. Cell phones are not claimed to work by connecting to satellites by anyone with basic knowledge of cell phone technology. It is no surprise you lose service in some areas. The maps you mentioned show the "dead spots". It's no secret there are dead spots. Those are areas where there aren't any cell phone towers nearby to provide the service. BTW iirc the reason we still use undersea cables is because they transmit light. They are optical cables. Light can carry more data at a higher speed than radio waves because the light is at a higher frequency than radio waves. They didn't have laser based communications when they laid those cables. Or maybe it was cheaper to lay undersea cables than to launch satellites into orbit. They certainly do have some sort of radio transmitters in the sky whether they be high altitude balloons or satellites in geostationary orbit. Otherwise your satellite tv dish wouldn't need to be pointed towards it. So if they can fake a satellite using balloons why would they lay cables under the sea? It would be easier to launch a high altitude balloon with a radio transmitter attached. You see the problem with your logic? I'll admit it is strange they haven't simply used lasers to communicate instead of laying fiber optic cables undersea. But like I said maybe it is cheaper to lay cables undersea. Satellites which transmit signals using lasers may require high power lasers too to get through all the particulates in the atmosphere. I know such satellites are now claimed to exist. They are being used to build a quantum internet where entangled photons are used for quantum encryption. This tech has probably been around longer than the public has known. But it is only within the past couple decades that I have heard of laser based communications. So it's relatively new in the public arena.

  36. Ford established the principle of "Ford economics" which is essentially the idea that employers must pay their employees enough to be able to buy whatever the employer is selling thus increasing the employers profits, otherwise the business will not be as successful. I'm sure that is why Trump said the Fords come from a good bloodline. He was comparing them to those families known for taking advantage of people by not paying them enough to buy whatever their employer is selling in addition to the basic necessities of life (essentially enslaving them). Although it's questionable how much genes are responsible for Henry Ford's philosophies, I'm sure family upbringing has a lot to do with it and that the morals and ethics being passed along through the Ford family are worthy of respect.

  38.  @readypetequalmers7360  The variation in the android devices due to differences in the proprietary OS's created from android have been said to actually enhance android security against hackers because then the hacker has a harder time knowing what OS they are or will be attacking. Of course the unpatched security holes you mention can be exploited by those who have a more privilieged access to your device such as the manufacturer, mobile phone service carrier/provider, and of course the gov (among others).

  39.  @robbraxmantech  Well said about defending against the maniacs, Rob. The maniacs in gov are getting out of control now even in the "west". BTW I have heard the baseband is better protected these days. It used to be the baseband OS was completely separate from the android or iphone OS and rarely if ever had security holes patched. But due to some widespread malware which targetted the baseband they actually made at least part of the baseband OS part of the android or iphone "OS" so now the baseband can more easily get security updates. Of course, this won't stop hackers from targetting the baseband.

That may be winding down due to some facts coming to light but the damage may already have been done. It may be too late for most. Perhaps all. Gov is a suicide cult, imo. I mean if they don't kill us with lethal injections it may be with nuclear war. According to EPA data, atmospheric radiation levels are already at extinction level and have been for years. It's claimed this is due to older nuclear reactors which are still active (thanks to gov mismanagement).

  41.  @machtschnell7452  Remaining human instead of becoming transhuman by submitting to the genetic modification they are mandating is rebelling against their control. Simply existing as nature designed us is being illegalized. There are signs outside businesses which effectively say "no humans allowed" (although that is not how they word it). Do you know what I mean? It doesn't matter whether you pay taxes or not. They are trying to force everyone to submit to transhumanisation. These mandates affected primarily most taxpayers. You see? They don't care about your money any longer. Money is now obsolete. Humans are obsolete.

  42. The earliest European immigrants who founded the original 13 colonies of the USA were not US citizens. Therefore their children could not be citizens? Nor the children of those children, ad infinitum. This argument that the 14th amendment doesn't apply to those born to foreigners/immigrants who weren't US citizens threatens to invalidate the claim to citizenship of all those born in the US since it's founding, does it not? It would appear only those descended from ancestors who had actually been naturalized could be considered citizens.

  45.  @Klarkada  Yes, money laundering is a crime if the money truly comes from illegal activities. But the gov will go after any money it even suspects of being from illegal activities. I've been in banks and seen customers have the cops called on them by the bank simply for trying to withdraw or deposit large amounts of money. I've also seen news reports about people who have had large amounts of cash seized simply because they were carrying it (instead of keeping it in a bank and using checks or credit/debit cards to exchange it for goods/services).
    3
  46.  @Klarkada  No, I am saying they should not be able to seize/freeze assets until guilt has been proven. Trust me, gov has the technology to prevent crimes. But the crimes continue because "gov" (or at least people in office and other gov employees) are behind a portion of the crimes. Many of the arrests are simply efforts to eliminate the competition. Understand? If you don't believe me, tell me, how is it possible for children to continue to disappear in 1st world nations where there is video surveillance everywhere and cell phones are also used for surveillance? Various gov agencies ranging from the CIA to UN have been found to be involved in child trafficking. They use the surveillance technology to find and hunt down their targets (children). These children are then used to control politicians using blackmail after giving the children to politicians to do the unspeakable. Understand?
    3
  47.  @Klarkada  In the nation where I reside gov is known to seize assets before guilt is proven. As I said I have seen banks treat customers like criminals simply for making large cash deposits or withdrawals in form of cash. Although it may be true criminals may have large amounts of cash not everyone with large amounts of cash obtained it though crime. So long as there is room for doubt of guilt gov should not be violating their right to privacy.

  50.  @d.e.b.b5788  When did she say she had the surgery? I thought she did too but can't find any evidence that she did. I can only find evidence that she refused to answer the question. To answer your question of how she became famous, she became famous for her youtube makeup tutorials when she was in high school. At the time, Gigi hadn't figured out she was transgender or said she was gay. She was just a boy who wore makeup and the world is starving for someone to make it OK for boys to wear whatever they want including makeup and dresses and such without their style preferences being used to question their sexuality or gender identity. It's a niche market waiting to be filled. Unfortunately, every boy who has started to fill that void has come out of the closet as gay or transgender. There are a lot of straight men who like to wear makeup and dresses and such who are dying waiting for society to allow them to express their style preferences without being judged or questioned. It's a very sad situation men are in. They are extremely limited in their wardrobe options. Women have many styles to choose from, everything from fancy ornate styles with exotic textiles and patterns to simple "butch" styles. It used to be about 200 years ago that straight men had basically the same wardrobe options as women. It was a sign of wealth if a man wore wigs, makeup, stockings with velvet and lace and frilly shirts. High heels were actually originally men's shoes. Even lower classes wore such styles to create the impression of wealth in an effort to impress ladies and improve their social status. But when the lower classes rose up against the wealthy elite about 200 years ago it became a bad idea to flaunt one's wealth or for the poor to create the impression of wealth lest one get the bloody pulp beat out of them by the lower class people who were angry with the upper class. So men started to wear the drab simple clothing of the lower classes. For some reason even after the class war ended men remained afraid to wear the styles they used to be able to wear. Many men would like to be able to be as free as women are with fashion though. But for some reason there is this belief that only gay or transgender males have a desire to wear anything other than what you currently find in the mens/boys departments. This belief gets reinforced by people like Gigi Gorgeous and James Charles who start off with nobody knowing their sexual orientation or gender identity but then later come out of the closet as gay or transgender. Gigi came out as gay at first but then later decided she was actually transgender. She said she was attracted only to men for a year or so after coming out as transgender but then later decided she was only attracted to women if I understand correctly. Apparently she was still trying to figure out who (or what) she was. Perhaps she still is. Maybe she'll decide she's actually straight and say she got confused about her sexual orientation and gender identity by society's BS gender rules because her style preferences don't fit into this society. There ARE a lot of men (mainly straight men) who end up erroneously identifying as transgender or as female simply because their style preferences don't allow them to fit into this society. They were born into the wrong society not the wrong body. If they express their style preferences freely in this society they tend to get categorized as either gay or transgender by society if not mistakenly identifying as such themselves.

They tend to erase all the relevant medical records pertaining to their birth and early childhood so they can never find out. This is probably to uphold the adam and eve story. Notice most hospitals are owned by churches. You don't think they have an agenda to defend their belief that there were only two genders intended to exist?

Likewise, the nations these migrants are coming from are NOT enemy nations.

  60. The claim is that non-ionizing Electro-Magnetic (EM) radiation can also be harmful by imperceptibly yet chronically stimulating VERY sensitive C-type nerve fibers near the surface of the skin, inducing a stress response in the sympathetic or parasympathetic nervous system. This then leads to immune system dysfunction, bad health in general, and death (due to the resulting illness). Aside from that we have protective bacteria on our skin which uses beneficial viruses such as bacteriophages to protect us against dangerous microbes which cause infections. Some of these microbes include those related to geobacter which is a type of microbe which "feeds" on electricity and/or EM radiation (including light but also radio waves). Electrosmog can cause these geobacter relatives to malfunction in various ways including by activating viruses lying dormant in their genome (endoviruses AKA endogenous viruses). Some of these endoviruses include ancient viruses our immune systems have never been exposed to. So the danger is a threat which should be taken seriously.

  65.  @omnisomnia  The covid19 death rate at the moment is much higher than 1%. More like 6% (but was as high as 28% at one point). To find the death rate you calculate the number of deaths divided by the total number of closed cases (cases with an outcome). If you really want to be accurate, when I say total number of cases I don't mean the number of people who test positive for the SARS-CoV-2 virus but rather the number of people who MAY have covid such as those with pneumonia, strokes, and heart attacks. The reason you should not use only the number of those who test positive for the virus is because there are a lot of problems with the tests. For example, it hasn't yet been proven that SARS-CoV-2 virus actually causes the disease called covid19 (don't confuse the disease for the virus, they are not the same thing). The info which comes with the test kit says this. There's more involved in accurately calculating the death rate but this method gives a more accurate number than most methods people use such as the number of national deaths divided by the total national population. Yes, I know you have read/heard the death rate is less than 1% but all you need to do is divide the number of deaths by the number of cases and you will get a much higher number. BTW don't forget to move the decimal 2 places to the right to convert the result to a percentage. Here is a website where you can quickly get the numbers you need for the calculation (the calculation has already been done for you here too): https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

  72.  @ieatchicharronforbreakfast1747  I noticed an error in that last sentence of my first post here which originally said "section 230 was originally written to shield social media platforms from liability lawsuits for hosting user posted content". I edited it to say it was written to shield social media platforms from liability lawsuits for both hosting AND censoring user posted content. I'm not sure of the accuracy of that but in practice it seems that is being interpreted as the intent of section 230. All in my opinion and/or if I understand correctly, of course.
    2
  73.  @ieatchicharronforbreakfast1747  After a quick review of the relevant laws I was reminded it wasn't only child porn which section 230 allowed social media platforms to censor without incurring liability as publishers. It was intended to allow censorship of any illegal content or any content which might be obscene or harmful to a child ranging from copyright violations, defamatory slander, harrasment, porn, etc. When section 230 was originally passed it was a subsection of some larger law called the Communications Decency Act (CDA). The CDA was title V of the Telecom Act of 199 (note: the non-discrimination rule in Title I of the Telecom Act of 1996 is the basis of "net neutrality", if I remember correctly). The CDA made all online pornography illegal until it was struck down. If I understand correctly, the only part of the CDA which remains is section 230 which remains as part of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. After the court struck down the censorship of all online pornography allowed by the CDA the only content which social media platforms and other online service providers which host 3rd party content can censor without incurring liability as a publisher for any 3rd party content appearing on their platform is illegal content such as defamatory/slanderous content, harassment, threats, child porn and and/or content which could be harmful to a child such as cyberbullying or encouraging suicide among others as specified by section 230. Censoring any other content falls outside the intent of section 230 and would incur liability as a publisher. IMO this would apply to any webpage which allows 3rd parties to post comments or other content. This could be a facebook page or the comments section of a youtube video. The only censorship which would be allowed without incurring liability as a publisher would be censoring illegal content. All other content must be allowed without any censorship. For some reason this was not clear to many people. Trump's EO seems to make this clear. It will be interesting to see how courts will react to this EO. Especially in light of the fact that the FCC's 2015 net neutrality laws have been overturned. It seems to me that net neutrality repeal only applies to ISP's (under the non-discrimination rule of title 1 of the Telecom Act of 1996). Other online service providers such as social media platforms are still obligated to maintain neutrality, except when they may otherwise become an accomplice to a crime, as outlined by section 230 or title V of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. If you ask me, even in such cases where social media platforms and other online service providers hosting 3rd party content may find themselves becoming host to criminal activity they should be limited to notifying the authorities and removing content only when ordered to do so by the authorities (preferably by a court). Otherwise, evidence could be deleted or content wrongly accused of being illegal could be censored. All IMO, of course.

  74. All your computers are compromised because DNS requests haven't been encrypted but rather sent "in the clear". This has allowed websites to be spoofedand malware/spyware to be inserted into your computers. DNS over TLS is a solution but you will need to reprogram all computers by hand using the source code to eradicate the malware/spyware which has infected them during the time DNS requests were not encrypted.

  75. We tend to set ourselves up for failure by establishing goals for ourselves which are not only unrealistic but often unnatural, a betrayal of nature in fact, and therefore representing a failure in and of themselves whether we realize it or not. So much of what humans do is a toxic betrayal of nature that we'd be winners in the eyes of mother nature for not having a job or money because having a job and money often means betraying mother nature by contributing to destruction of the ecosystem in a significant way.

  80.  @alisonreneedailey1364  Be aware of what you consent to. Notice how medical clinics, ER's, etc are now starting to have you sign "invisible" (electronic) contracts? You can't be sure what you are consenting to when signing those. Also, foods are now required to disclose "bioengineered" ingredients on the label. It used to be you could say you didn't consent to being subjected to such ingregients because they didn't tell you it was in there. But now you can't plead ignorance. If you eat it you consented to it. Bioengineered ingredients doesn't just mean GMO's. It can mean many things including bioengineered nanotechnology. So beware.

  82. I disagree with the claim that coffee doesn't dehydrate. Although you get water when drinking coffee, the coffee causes your cells to excrete electrolytes and this causes an electrolyte imbalance. That is why it can cause a heart attack. Drinking water after your electrolytes get disrupted doesn't always properly rehydrate you because your cells don't actually absorb the water unless you drink water with the proper electrolyte balance to rehydrate and replenish your electrolytes. The water you get from drinking coffee often doesn't get absorbed into your cells to replenish the intracellular fluid but instead remains outside your cells in the form of extracellular fluid (because the electrolyte concentration is greater outside the cells, due to the caffeine causing excretion of the electrolytes, and therefore need to be diluted for the concentration or "osmotic pressure" to become equal to the fluid inside the cell). You can drink all the water in the world but you won't actually become rehydrated until the fluid inside the cells is replenished. It can be very difficult to replenish the intracellular fluid.

  86.  @notusedexer  Listen, I understand where you are coming from. I too found it a bit strange how they say the thermosphere is like 10k degrees F or whatever but then try to say it's actually cold. But it turns out what they mean is the atoms in the low pressure of that layer of atmosphere are moving at a speed which is normally associated with 10k° F temperatures at standard pressure (1 atmosphere of pressure?). Because the pressure or density is so low fewer atoms strike the satellite and so very little energy (in the form of heat) is transferred to the metal. Or so it is claimed. I could point out some flaws in that logic but it seems to be true as proven by electrostatic inertial confinement fusion reactors. Look into that. It's a type of cold fusion using a plasma wherein the atoms are said to have a temperature of like 10k° F or whatever but the metal of the fusor doesn't melt. The plasma can't even boil water despite the fact the atoms are said to have such a high temp. They have a high speed associated with that temp but because the gas is at a low pressure the energy density of the plasma is low and so very small amounts of energy are transferred by it. Or so I believe. I need to fact check a few claims (such as the claim that the gas in the fusor is at low pressure) to be sure though.

  87.  @dorfsteen  Who says there are satellites for cell phones? Whoever says that doesn't know what they are talking about. Cell phones connect to cell phone towers not satellites. A tower needs to be within range for your cell phone to work. There are very few towers in some areas such as the mountains and in remote locations there may be no towers. That is why your phone sometimes won't work. Cell phones can't communicate with satellites. So it's not because there are no satellites that your phone sometimes doesn't work. Your phone sometimes doesn't work because it is too far away from any towers. Understand?

  88.  @dorfsteen  The phone doesn't connect directly to a satellite. It connects only to cell towers. Then the call may get relayed to a satellite by the phone company.

You are merely a beneficiary of an estate which is controlled by the gov perhaps even owned by the gov. The same is true for real estate and all securities which are actually owned by cede and co with you listed as mere tenant or beneficiary.

I'm guessing you are also hiding your IP address when setting up the google voice account via the signup webpage. Interesting. But do you know of a way to setup a phone so you can both make and receive calls without needing to worry about anybody obtaining your (real) phone number? Seems to me giving your phone number to anybody is risky these days and opening your phone to being hacked. It should be regarded as basic computer security to have an untraceable phone but unfortunately people view it as a threat as opposed to basic computer security. It seems authorities expect us to give up true security in exchange for their promise to protect us from the bad guys. Yet we are still getting hacked aren't we? I'd prefer to protect myself rather than rely on others to protect me.

This is a prophylactic against getting sick for those who may have been infected but test negative due to low viral load and not yet being symptomatic nor having any antibodies to test for. The antiviral keeps the viral load down by inhibiting virus replication so that you will never test positive for the virus and don't get sick and also don't become infectious. The antiviral is given as a regimen only for a period of time. Not indefinitely.

  123.  @ProudlyINDIAN360  Good question (about how I protect myself from the radiation). It may interest you to know years ago a tech support rep remotely boosted the output power of a phone once (he told me he did that after I asked why the phone was burning me). I believe he did that to cause me harm because I yelled at him a few secomds before he boosted the power and there was no good reason for him to boost the power. It gave me a severe persistent headache although that may have been due to earwax. I went to the doctor about that headache and they removed a plug of earwax which may have been pushing against my eardrum. But I believe that was because the wax got liquified by the heat generated from the phone (which was getting extremely hot) and then hardened against my eardrum. But iirc I got the headache when the tech support rep told me he boosted the phone (while still talking to him). So beware. Anyway I probably should be taking measures to protect myself because the radiation is above safe levels. Thanks for reminding me of that.

It is actually misleading for them to say they have shutdown the 2G networks because after they claimed to have shut them down I had a 4G phone and I noticed neither the 3G or 4G icons were showing when I dialed 611 for tech support from the phone service carrier. I inquired about that and after interrogating them thoroughly discovered that the phone was connecting to 611 via 2.5G or above (but below 3G). So when they say they shut down the 2G network they are being deceptive. The phones still connect to 2G networks. BTW it may interest you to know the tech support rep remotely boosted the output power of my phone too (he told me he did that after I asked why the phone was burning me). I believe they did that to cause me harm. It gave me a severe persistent headache although that may have been due to earwax. I went to the doctor about that headache and they removed a plug of earwax which may have been pushing against my eardrum.

The word "religion" just means a philosophy and "a way of living/life". LGBT lifstyles are a way of living/life and often involve various philosophies so therefore qualify as a "religion". You don't even have to specify your religion if asked what religion you belong to when using this defense. You can claim it is against your religion to discuss such specifics. It is actually forbidding to inquire into such specifics I do believe. If you get fired for being LGBT then just say you are practicing your "religion" and they are discriminating against you on the basis of your religion. You won't be lying and this should effectively nullify the ability of haters to discriminate on the basis of religion. Spread the word.

But I am not a member of any religious organisation. My religious beliefs are an amalgamation of various beliefs which I find useful.

What are the chances some anti-LGBT nut would start a religion for the LGBT people to get them to drink (poisoned) communion wine and bread or whatever. I should point out though that there are some ancient traditional religions out there which embrace homosexuality and transgenderism. For example, some flavors of judaism, christianity, and even islam. These jews and christians talk about saris or eunuchs. The muslims talk about the muhknethan. Then there are the hijra of hinduism (whom were regarded as demigods and the highest caste before the british took over and indian/hindu culture was contaminated by homophobic judeo-christian western culture). Those are just a few examples. There are more. But here is not the place to discuss all that.

  142. Joseph Davidson What's YOUR problem? Did I offend you somehow by pointing out how stupid it is to pay insecure centralised ISP's to surveil and censor when there are secure (hacker, surveillance, and censor resistant) decentralized alternatives which are either FREE or will PAY you to use them? If so, sorry, but I'm just saying maybe this is what it takes to get people to stop depending on untrustworthy centralized service providers. When people use centralized technologies it poses a threat to me and everyone else so I have every right to feel frustrated and outraged by people who continue to uphold centralized technologies when better alternatives are available. The same applies for businesses which store confidential customer data on the pre-installed windows or apple operating systems (which make computers expensive) instead of the hack proof alternatives such as CertiKOS, VMS, OpenVMS, QubesOS, etc. Because these businesses refuse to use these more secure technologies, they should be held accountable whenever customer data gets stolen by hackers instead of being allowed to blame the hackers. I'd say these are inside jobs and the hacks deliberately allowed to happen if I didn't believe people could be so stupid and lazy. After all, I find it hard to believe their IT people don't know about the better alternatives I mention here. Alas, I don't blame the general public for not using these more secure alternatives. I'm sure they would use them if they were properly promoted so that more people knew about them and they were made easier to use.

  145. @Jack Smith The David Reimer case is a notable example. Look into it. Then there are the many children who have their anatomical sex surgically reassigned as an infant or even before birth using hormones. Sometimes they do this to make hermaphrodites conform to the norm. But they have also done it to prevent homosexuality. They even do it in so-called hermaphrodites to prevent homosexuality. For example if a boy is born with a p_nis deemed too small, more like an enlarged clit, it's regarded as a result of insufficient masculinisation due to some condition like adrenal hyperplasia (some forms of which can femininze males) which has long been known to also cause homosexuality. So, the doctors will intervene to prevent the feared homosexuality by either performing surgery to make the infant appear to be female, often without the knowledge of the parents, or will intervene by interferring with the hormones during fetal development. I have the published standards of care by a pediatrician society which actually advise to do this without the parents knowledge on the basis that telling the parents the truth tends to increase verbal, mental/psychological, and physical and/or even sexual abuse of such children due to them being perceived as "freaks" or "homosexual" or somehow "defective" by parents and others who find out about this. So, they keep it a secret. This was the standard of care up until around 2015. Since then the practice was supposed to end but the catholic church still condones similar practices (presumably through the many hospitals it owns). Look into what the catholics believe about intersex children. They believe only the doctor has a right to decide what the gender identity of such children is or should be. So, they encourage doctors continuing to perform sex reassignment procedures on babies deemed a high risk of becoming homosexual. I should point out it's debateable whether many "homosexuals" are actually the sex they appear to be. Many might actually be the opposite sex. Many of the people who have had their sex reassigned would habe probably ended up straight but now they appear to be gay and are believed to be gay because nobody knows the truth about how their sex was reassigned. They are casualties in a religious war against homosexuality. Can you imagine the hell these people have endured and are continuing to endure as a result of homophobia? These people have had their lives stolen. Talk about stolen identities...

  147.  @Klarkada  You're missing my point. They DO go after innocent people. This has been proven although rarely because most innocent people do not have the resources to properly contest the gov in court after all their assets are seized by gov. The "gov" are pirates. Do your research and you will see I speak the truth.
    2
  148.  @Klarkada  Again, I don't believe suspicion of a crime justifies seizing/freezing assets. IMO if there is any possibility a person may be innocent gov has no right to accuse and certainly no right to seize assets based on a mere accusation of a crime. Only if someone claims to be a victim or if there is no room for doubt of guilt does gov have a right to seize/freeze assets and even then only if the gov is righteous (as opposed to a criminal mob like many are) and also only if the alleged crime is truly a crime meaning there truly is a victim (or potential victim). Otherwise, the gov has no right to interfere.

  149. This notion that there are no traits which are exclusively male or female is a product of trying to categorize inters3x people as male or female instead of recognizing them as a third s3x. Because of that people can argue that some "females" have a p_nis or balls and some males have a v_gina or br3asts for example (as in the case of people with XX male syndrome, XY female syndrome, androgen insensitivity syndrome, or adrenal hyperplasia). But if we were to recognize inters3x as a third s3x, instead of trying to fit them into either the male or female category, the differences between the s3xes would become very clear again because nobody could say some so-called males have female traits or vice verse because then all males would have only male traits and all females would have only female traits. If somebody had a mixture of male and female traits they wouldn't be regarded as either male or female but rather intersex. The only problem with this idea is many people don't find out they are inters3x until puberty or adulthood. They grow up believing they are male or female. It would be traumatizing to them to force them to start identifying as something other than what they always believed themselves to be. 2 out 3 of males (67%) develop true gynecomastia so most so-called males would be required to start identifying as inters3x. It's probably to avoid bruising their male egos that doctors decided gender identity determines s3x. Now non-op butch translesbians are regarded as biological females because of this.

So those capabilities by themselves are not proof of ET's which must also include some proof of an ET origin. Proof of ET's would be a message from ET's.

  154.  @d.e.b.b5788  I don't know what to say in response to your life story. I don't have any way to relate to that. Although my parents did sort of give me the option of transitioning as a child. But then my father decided I was too ugly or not pretty enough to justify doing so. He said I would make an ugly girl. I chose to transition (to an extent) nonetheless, at least insisted I was going to get the operation while living more androgynously, to my father's disapproval. He even disowned me at one point for a year or two. Getting the operation or even HRT proved to be too expensive for me back then. But in the early 2000's my doctors put me on estrogen and were pushing me to get the surgery. I tried to get the surgery but ran into problems due to a high risk of complications because of underlying medical conditions. As a result of that combined with the increased visibility of people who identify as non-binary I started to just accept my fate. I never transitioned to the stereotypical ideal of femininity anyway. I never wore dresses or high heels or nylons or makeup and often had short hair. I didn't identify as a man but many people had a hard time accepting me as anything but a man. Besides that I discovered I was probably born intersexed and surgically assigned male. It turns out hermaphroditism runs in my family. Which would explain why my parents educated me about the option of transitioning as a child. They pretend like they don't know what I am talking about these days though. I recently informed my sisters that they were born intersexed, partly because they callously called me "sir", and now they won't talk to me. I'm guessing it's because our mother and their father are denying it and telling them I'm crazy. But it's true. I'm giving them some space to work it out. That was quite a bombshell to drop on them and I'm sure they are now suffering from shellshock so to speak. Perhaps they are ignoring me so they can ignore the truth and continue living the facade they've been forced into. It doesn't matter to me. I haven't seen them for about 20 years so what difference does it make? Anyway, I too thought I had heard somewhere that Gigi had the surgery. But I can't find any evidence of that anywhere. I've searched for evidence outside of her YT channel to no avail. So, I'm guessing I just somehow erroneously got the impression she did (probably from misinformed commenters on her channel).

  155.  @d.e.b.b5788  Yeah, I have a cousin who naturally developed breasts at puberty (the same as I did). His brother told me he got them surgically removed but for some reason now denies he ever told me that. Just like my mother now denies they didn't know what sex my sisters were when they were born. But I was halfway grown up when they were born. Old enough to remember. I thought it was strange at the time but my family insisted that the doctor said it was due to normal swelling. I asked a few doctors about that recently and they told me that although such swelling IS normal it doesn't prevent them from determining the sex. I can see how it might keep them from determining sex though if the doctors take the position that the child might be intersex instead of binary. But until 2015 official pediatrics policy was to take an intersex child and perform "corrective" surgery to make them either male or female so they'd conform to the fictitious norm of the "gender binary" (instead of acknowledging that intersex is a normal variation, a third gender) without informing the parents the child was intersex or getting anybody's consent for such surgery. The reasoning for this being that it was believed to be crucial for the child's mental health. Apparently a lot of parents tend to be traumatized by giving birth to what they perceive to be a "freak" and often externalize those emotions by calling the child a "freak" or whatever. Not only that but (binary conformative) siblings tend to tease intersex children and make them feel like freaks. Or so the doctors say. I suspect the doctors were also using intersex children as lab rats to see how many of these children grew up to accept the gender role forced on them and how many would be gender dysphoric and reject the role forced on them.

  156.  @d.e.b.b5788  As far as Gigi goes, I don't recall ever hearing Gigi herself say she had the surgery. She has a documentary on YouTube Red/Premium or whatever it's called which I'm sure would have discussed that if she had or was saying she had it done. As I said I believe I got the impression she had the surgery from misinformed commenters on her YT channel.

  157.  @d.e.b.b5788  Here is a link to the trailer for her documentary titled "This Is Everything". https://youtu.be/83jGTVHGj1Y I suspect the shots of her going in for surgery of some sort (probably breast augmentation) combined with commenters insisting that she had the surgery were what had me thinking she must have had the surgery. Some transgender people consider "top" surgery to be gender confirmation surgery. If Gigi ever said she'd had gender confirmation surgery that may have been what she meant.

  158.  @d.e.b.b5788  By the way, I am presently trying to get my doctors to properly investigate the possibility that I may be intersex. Ive been trying to get them to do so since I was a teen and I am now old enough to die of old age due to "natural causes". When I was a teen questioning whether I might be a hermaphrodite due to the breast development, etc they said it was normal. I found out a few years ago it's common but not normal. That's a symptom of being a true hermaphrodite. Also, when I was an adult being put on estrogen I asked the doctors to investigate whether I might be intersexed because secretly I didn't like being forced to conform to their ideals of femininity to get the HRT. But they refused to investigate the issue saying there was no reason to investigate that possibility sinxe it wouldn't affect my treatment plan. But as it turns out I may have a metabolic disorder which affects how I respond to estrogen. It hasn't done much good for me, I seem to be insensitive to it, or it actually masculinizes me. So, now, after all these years, they are finally starting to investigate the possibility that I may be intersexed. Revealing to them the fact that my sisters and a cousin are probably intersexed seems to have helped convince them that they should investigate the possibility.

  166.  @rjamador6216  Seems obvious to me the dems are trying to cram USPS funding into the covid19 relief/stimulus bill because they are trying to make sure mail-in ballots aren't delayed. That's the only explanation which makes any sense to me.

I'm not sure what you mean by "the bill stops prefunding of retirement, that there is more than needed in the fund". What fund? The covid relief/stimulus fund or the retirement fund...or the general fund trump mentioned in the clip I shared a link to? Please don't be so vague, presuming I will know what you are talking about.

That's a separate problem and the other problem of USPS losing money due to the pandemic you mentioned (if true) has already been addressed by previous covid relief/stimulus acts. If they have lost money they can apply for some aid the same as any other business under the existing programs put in place earlier this year.

  170.  @areyouserious1952  They don't own your body. The birth certificates are bonds representing a trust account. Do not confuse your body with that trust account. You are an agent, the trust manager, and perhaps a beneficiary of that trust account. At least, that is my understanding of it.
    1
  171.  @areyouserious1952  I don't believe that is true. The collateral is the money in the trust account and whatever it may be converted into when it is spent. But let's presume you are right. There is a way out of this trap by denying you are the person on the birth certificate. The person on the birth certificate is a corporation not a human being. (notice that a corporation is also considered a "person" in the eyes of the law). Although you may have the same name as the corporate person named on the birth certificate that doesn't mean you are the same person. Two people can have the same name but that doesn't mean they are the same person.

  172.  @duvine3882  Are you saying most countries don't have birth certificates? If so, surely they must have government issued ID's of some sort. They wouldn't be able to travel to most of the "developed" countries without ID's. I'm sure those ID's are used the same way as birth certificates are used to set up trust accounts with some bank in which money is transferred from other countries as a loan from which their national debt gets created and which those people will be expected to pay back in the form of taxes.
    1
  173.  @duvine3882  Yeah, it's developed countries which tend to keep the records and that is because those countries receive huge loans (billions or trillions) by creating those records which are then used to estimate a country's productive capability which then determines how much of a loan the country will receive. Of course, this then leads to a very unnatural industrialized system where people get lured away from their family's and even neighbors during the day to go work for strangers creating a very unnatural and toxic "civilisation" where people walking past each other don't know each other and see each other as competing for jobs, especially where immigrants are concerned, instead of working co-operatively rather than competitively with their family and neighbors towards the common goal of survival. All in exchange for the luxuries of the modern world such as polluting automobiles, cancer causing smart phones, and pesticide laden GMO food sold in grocery stores.

  174.  @duvine3882  Yeah, that's true. At least where money is concerned. Cryptocurrencies change everything though. May even put an end to government (as we know it). Tyrannical rogue and dysfunctional government at least. That's because such governments depend upon tax money which they take by force from it's citizens. But if people stop using banks and start using only privacy coins for payment including when paying employees then there is nothing the government can do to collect taxes and will go completely bankrupt. This will force government to either behave properly or become nonexistent. Come to think of it though, the recent rise of privacy coins may be part of the reason why the government is suddenly catering to the majority opinion that transgenderism is mental illness, perversion, an abberation, abomination, evil. If they don't the government will likely cease to exist.

  175. What is really strange is that despite the recent laws which have been passed protecting transgender people all the medical clinics and hospitals and other medical providers along with many businesses still have not updated their systems to acknowledge non-binary genders or agenders where I live. They only recognize male or female. One business, a government agency, actually removed their transgender/family restroom! They are obviously being confrontational and hostile towards the transgender community. This frightens me.

  176.  @duvine3882  I should have mentioned cryptocurrencies can also have actual value unlike fiat currency because they can have a utility. Aside from some being collectible such as cryptokitties and cryptocelebrity tokens they can also have a use such as docademic's medical tokens which can be used by researchers to access anonymized patient data for research purposes. Only these medical tokens are accepted for payment and access to the data. A portion of the value of these tokens is given to the patients whose data is being accessed by researchers and this gives the patients a way to pay doctors for their medical care without insurance or relying on government. There are many cryptocurrencies which have an intrinsic value because they are the only way to purchase a certain product. Many new businesses are funded by selling their own cryptocurrency coins or tokens at a discount as an Initial Coin Offering or "ICO" (instead of selling stocks) which are then later used by the coin holders to either buy the product for less than it's current dollar value or the coins/tokens sold for a profit at the current market value of the coin/token. In some cases the company's coin/token is the only coin/token they accept for purchase of their product or service giving their coin/token an actual intrinsic value or usefulness unlike paper money which only has value for those who believe it has value. Of course, paper money and physical coins will always have value to collectors. There are physical cryptocurrency coins/tokens which are equally collectibe but last I heard those should not be trusted because some were found to have had their value depleted due to theft by a hacker or company insider.

  177. Perhaps Weinstein is part of a psyop of some sort. Same with that oscar winning movie, "Parasite". Both are trying to convince people that people shouldn't have more money and/or power than others because look what happens: Poor people have to do things they wouldn't otherwise do if they want to get a fair share of the wealth and power. In Weinstein's case we are supposed to believe it's rape because the victims didn't really want to do what they had to do if they wanted to escape poverty. If they said "no" they'd be harming themselves (financially). So they didn't really have the option of saying "no". Therefore it was coercion and rape. You see? In addition, weinstein is being used as prison abolition propaganda. Or do you really believe it's a coincidence weinstein went to prison at the same time covid-19 starts going around and they start trying to convince people we can't put people in prisons because it's like putting them in a cage with wild lions?

The ones used by most other news channels (in addition to the late night talk shows) make trump look guilty (of asking for a favor, for zelenskyy to investigate burisma and the bidens for trump in exchange for more javelin missiles). I know the transcripts I've seen are not actual transcripts but rather notes or memorandums created by other people who listened in on the call which may not be accurate. As far as I know the transcripts released so far are all memorandums, not true transcripts. So perhaps the transcript refered to by trump and those defending trump is a different transcript, a true transcript, which hasn't been released to the public as of yet?

  195. Some animals such as some birds are just as smart as the average person. I met some wild birds which understood pointing and used the sun to tell time. You see I would hang out with them about an hour or two before sunset everyday in summer. One day I visited them in the afternoon and one gave me a confused look (cocked it's head to the side while looking at me) then looked at the sun then back at me then back at the sun then me again. Then cocked it's head in confusion again as if to say what are you doing here so early? LOL! And whenever I'd point at something far away like a star they'd look in that direction. They definitely understood pointing. I confirmed it many times. They also seemed to understand some of what I would say to them. For example, they knew the names I gave them because when one disappeared I would ask the remaining member of the couple what happened to it's buddy and it would get emotionally upset. I kept asking what happened to it's buddy and it got agitated and flew away. I apologized for bringing it up and it came back. Just to confirm that it was truly getting emotionally disturbed by me bringing up the name of it's missing buddy I told it "I know you're going to hate me for bringing it up again but I have to ask you..." at which point it got up and gave me a glaring look as if to don't you dare say it or I'm leaving. As I continued to ask what happened to it's buddy it jumped and flew away at the mention of it's buddy's name and started screeching. It then started acting crazy like it was having an emotional breakdown. It went all over the place frantically calling for it's buddy even getting suicidal, going out into a busy road calling for it's buddy. I then told it to get out of the road and to accept that it's buddy was gone. It then got extremely upset with me and flew around for about a mile around looking for it's buddy and to get away from me. I avoided bringing up it's buddy for a while after that. That particular bird didn't really like me just tolerated me. It was it's missing buddy who liked me. But after it's buddy disappeared it became close to me. We became bonded through the pain we felt for our missing mutual friend. One day while sitting next to it's buddy's favorite spot I sang a passage from a song I used to sing to it's buddy and it stopped doing what it was doing and just stared at me transfixed and then after a moment of silence after I finished it abruptly flew off screeching. It was obviously in emotional pain from being reminded of it's buddy. I didn't bring up it's buddy until a long time after that until one day when I was hanging out with it and their baby near it's buddy's spot and I found myself saying aloud the name I'd given the missing bird, adam, in a pained whining voice. The remaining bird, eve, and it's baby then came over and sat in adam's spot and seemed to be trying to reach out to him and get closer to him at my mention of his name. They didn't seem emotionally distraught but did seem to be wondering where he was the same as I was. They definitely recognized the name.

  199.  @germanrud9904  No offense but you need to research that topic more. Look into true hermaphrodites. Its a lot more complex than you seem to know. There are people whose sex truly can't be determined because they have "ovotestis", gonads which contain both ovarian and testicular tissues/cells. Although it's said ovotestis never function as both ovaries and testis simultaneously they can function one day as ovaries and testis the next day. They are "gender fluid" in that regard. Some have a p_nis and nutsack but their nutsack is filled with ovotestis functioning as ovaries. Others are born with a v_gina but they have undescended testis. It's claimed these "girls" are sterile but that may not always be true. Some of these girls may produce sperm and be capable of fathering a child if they have sex with a female (despite not having a p_nis).

  202.  @germanrud9904  That's like saying blind people or people in wheelchairs are a minority and arguing that because they are a minority we shouldn't be required to change our society to accomodate them. But the fact is they may not be a minority but rather a majority because up to 60% of "boys" develop "breasts" (gynecomastia). This is so common it is considered normal by most doctors. But it makes these boys intersex by definition. The definition of intersex is having biological traits of both sexes. Mammary glands are normally associated with females so that makes boys who develop mammary glands intersex. "Intersex" is a modern politically correct word used to replace the term "hermaphrodite". I use it here because it applies to anyone who has biological traits of the opposite sex, not just hermaphrodites. We don't know what causes gynecomastia but I believe it is because the "boys" who develop breast tissue are true hermaphrodites with ovotestis in their nutsack instead of true testis.

  205.  @germanrud9904  Stop typing walls if text? Is this geting too complex for you? Can't keep up? Perhaps you should leave the debate to experts then. BTW, intersex isn't nonsense. It's very real. What's nonsense is the belief that there are only two genders and sexes (male and female or masculine and feminine). The fact is there is (at least) a 3rd sex/gender, which we call "intersex". This includes the hermaphrodites, both true hermaphrodites and pseudohermaphrodites but also includes people who have various genetic cinditions such as klinefelters syndrome which affect their hormonal sex. You see, sex isn't determined by a single trait but rather by weighing multiple traits, specifically, genetic sex, chronosomal sex, hormonal sex, anatomical sex, and gender identity. Gender identity is the most important factor because doctors don't have a right to decide what sex an intersex person (such as emily in the above tedx video should be). You see, doctors are still surgically mutilating beautiful and perfect intersex babies to make their bodues conform with people's unrealistic belief that there should only be 2 sexes, male and female. They do this to give them the best possible chance at a normal life in a society which would otherwise consider them freaks. They also do it because this gives them an excuse to sterilise these children and prevent them from passing along their hermaphrodite genes. But guess what? Despite their best efforts, including encouraging the abortion of foetuses testing positive for the hermaphrodite genes (which they usually only describe to the parents as a genetic "disease" rather than a natural variation) hermaphrodites are still here and may even be a majority. Up to 60% of the population perhaps. Intersex people are a victim of very real eugenics and genocide. This must end. It is illegal. Intersex must be recognized as a natural variation before humans start playing god with gene editing technologies such as CRISPR to erase intersex people from existence by creating designer babies which conform with their delusional belief that there should only be the typical male and female and all else is a deformity and an abomination.

  210.  @meekinheritor2171  What happened? Tell me. He never recommended people ingest aquarium disinfectant. Anybody who dies from consuming such things has only themselves to blame. Blaming trrump for that would be like blaming someone for the deaths of people who died from overdosing on hydrogen peroxide after being informed of hydrogen peroxide therapy. Hydrogen peroxide therapy is safe and effective when properly used. But dangerous if improperly used. People are responsible for their own actions (unless somebody gave them bad advice meaning told them to ingest a toxic dose or to use something not intended for humans). If you are talking about the recent reports which are saying the hydroxychloroquine therapy causes an increase in deaths that is only one study. You can't come to any conclusions based on one study. How many other studies show it to decrease deaths? If more than one then that outweighs the one showing an increase in deaths. Furthermore, I hear that one study showing an increase in deaths didn't use zinc. The purpose of using hydrochloroquine was to open up the ion pumpd to transport zinc ions into the infected cells. Zinc is what kills the virus. It may be zinc alone would be a cure. Remember zinc ion lozenges were said to be the cure for the common cold when they first hit the market. The common cold is a coronavirus, isn't it? So, I wouldn't be surprised if zinc alone is effective. It could be zinc was the "disinfectant" trump was talking about. Zinc is a disinfectant. It's not patentable though. The only reason they may have combined zinc with hydroxychloroquine was because the combination would be patentable (or may already be patented). Some people are allergic to zinc though and it could kill them. Anything can kill some people. That's why pharmacogenetic testing needs to be done before prescribing or taking any medicine. It may be the reason that one study showing an increase in deaths may be due to the ethnicity of the test subjects making them genetically predisposed to having an adverse reaction. A study lacking pharmacogenetic data about the test subjects is a flawed study IMO.

  215.  @meekinheritor2171  I'm sure it was just a bunch of democrats and other trump haters who drank or injected bleach and such just so they could blame trump. But perhaps that is why people are freaking out over trump mentioning disinfectants as a possible cure. Because they know there are crazy people who hate trump so much that they'd be crazy enough to poison themselves with the expectation that trump would be blamed for their death (because of the way trump was blamed for the death of the guy who drank fishtank cleaner). If so, the media would actually be the one to blame for these recent alleged poisonings for pinning blame on trump. That's probably why trump said he was being "sarcastic" by mentioning disinfectant as a possible cure. I'm sure trump knows trump haters will try to use that to make him look bad by poisoning themselves thus creating an insane but amusing reaction from the press about how trump is to blame, after which even more trump haters will throw themselves into the dumpster fire as a sacrifice. Or maybe it's just a bunch of people trying to commit suicide because they lost their jobs and can't pay rent. Drinking bleach is a popular suicide method. There is certainly no proof trump inspired anyone to drink or inject bleach. Ever heard the phrase in science class "association does not equal causation"? Just because two events or phenomena occur around the same time does not mean one caused the other.

  216.  @meekinheritor2171  Get real! Where is the undeniable PROOF trump is to blame for these recent poisonings? You and the fake news are the ones linking the coincidence of an uptick in calls to the poison control center to trump's use of the word "disinfectant" in last thursday's white house coronavirus briefing...like conspiracy theorists! It's a classic feature of conspiracy theorists to link two events for which there is no proof they are related and portray them as somehow related. The fake news' HYPOTHESIS is no better than my "theory"! And wasn't it revealed the couple who drank the fishtank disinfectant were trump haters? I'm just repeating what I've heard, what those who stay informed of what is being said online are saying. Try to keep up. You think trump doesn't know what people are saying about it? You think trump doesn't have access to the truth about who is poisoning themselves? In case you haven't noticed, he's the commander in chief which means he has access to the mass surveillance data gathered by big tech (google, etc), the NSA, CIA, etc. There should be no doubt trump knows what's going on, who his enemies are. When you take what I said into consideration then what trump said, about being "sarcastic" because he knew how the fake news would react, suddenly makes more sense, doesn't it? That alone should tell you I'm on the right track.

  217. If biological sex is determined by reproductive role, gonads, and whether you have a p_nis or v_gina then transgender people CAN change their biological sex by simply getting their gonads removed and/or sex change surgery. Getting their gonads removed alone makes them "desexed" (neither male or female). Of course, gender is separate from sex under the new paradigm so they can be a "woman" even if they are biologically male.

  219. I am offended by how Rachel Dolezal compares her racism to being transgendered. Transracialism would be considered a mental illness by mental health professionals. Transgenderism is considered due to a natural variation in humans with biological basis (genetic and hormonal variations). Rachel Dolezal has said race doesn't exist and has no biological basis, that there is no white blood or black blood. That is NOT true. There IS a biological basis for race. There are genetic tests which can determine racial ancestry. There are also race specific bloodtypes (such as the newly discovered J blood type). If race doesn't exist as she insists, she shouldn't be identifying as ANY race! She is a delusional racist who needs to seek the help of a mental health professional.

  220. Joshua A. Kennedy, in response to your original post here, communists want an uprising of the working class against their morbidly wealthy employers in response to the gap between their wages and the cost of living.

Or do you believe we should make robots and ai illegal to prevent the inevitable socialism? Is the reason we still don't have a robot which can clean our house, make our bed, and cook for us because gov has interferred in the natural course of technological evolution to ultimately prevent an evolution towards socialism or communism?

  223.  @joshuaa.kennedy8837  I suppose there IS an alternative to a UBI. That would be the cryptocurrencies one can earn on the alternatives to facebook and youtube which pay their users in crypto for simply using the service. The amount one earns on such platforms is based on popularity and the amount of work one does helping to maintain the platform such as by reporting users who are violating the law and/or terms of service or finding/reporting "bugs", etc. One can also earn money/crypto simply by playing video games. So, I see no need for the gov to issue a UBI.

  224. There are NO illegal immigrants because the rights specified by the founding documents are UNALIENABLE rights and include the right to freedom of movement and the right to travel as implied by the right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness. You don't need the permission of the government to travel to the united states. Any person attempting to interfere with a foreigner's right to immigrate to the united states by requiring an immigrant to first obtain approval and permission to enter the country is the one guilty of a crime and that crime is the crime of treason against the constitution and the USA because they are denying people their basic human rights which cannot be denied anyone including those who are categorized as "aliens". When the founding documents say those rights are unalienable it means you cannot deny someone those rights on the basis of them being an alien. So, there are NO illegal aliens. Only treasonous xenophobes.

  228.  @Balfour2000  How could they have known or not have known aid was being withheld if it weren't being withheld? You defend yourself against the accusation of withholding aid by saying aid was not withheld...as opposed to saying "the ukrainians didn't know aid was being withheld at the time" because that makes it sound like aid was indeed being withheld.
    1
  229.  @Balfour2000  You're the one with a convoluted "explanation" of why the aid wasn't a factor and why QPQ couldn't have existed. I never said the aid wasn't a factor or that QPQ didn't exist. That was you NOT me. You're obviously projecting your actions onto me. BTW why doesn't trump just release the recording of the call instead of so-called "transcripts"?
    1
  230.  @Balfour2000  I'm not trying to move goalposts. You seem to think I'm taking sides here. I haven't taken sides. I'm just an unbiased observer trying to gather the facts so I can form my own opinion. So what you're saying is we're supposed to be content with edited transcripts because that's the way it's always been done? Asking for the recording is asking for too much is it? I've become the enemy for asking why trump doesn't just release the recording instead of questionable transcripts?

  231.  @Balfour2000  I've no idea what you mean by "can't prove a negative".

  232.  @Balfour2000  I'm not sure what you mean. I can only guess. BTW I know what "can't prove a negative" means (you can't prove god doesn't exist, for example). But I don't see how that applies to anything I've said. I'm assuming you mean you can't prove the aid wasn't withheld or that there was no QPQ. But as I pointed out, mulvaney said the aid was withheld as part of a QPQ. Or so it would seem. I did hear a clever explanation which seemed to vindicate mulvaney by allowing for a different meaning behind what he said. But what he meant then becomes uncertain at best. So, what am I to believe? I don't know what to believe. It seems a shell game is being played here by both sides and it's tearing the nation apart. I suspect the goal (of both sides) is to divide the nation. Perhaps start a civil war then rebuild a new nation/government from the ashes in the end. But back to reality, I'm just trying to figure out whether aid was withheld or not, whether there was a QPQ or not. Mulvaney and others, perhaps even trump himself, seemed to have admitted to withholding the aid and/or a QPQ but then later deny it. Here in this video you have trump's team at once seemingly admitting (once again) aid was withheld then denying aid was ever withheld. Then they slap on the claim that past administrations have withheld aid as if to say that makes it ok for them to do what they at once appear to admit to doing but then later deny. This makes them look like liars or at least like they are being deceptive. But for what purpose? Self defense? Or perhaps to damage the reputation of the USA and make this seem more like a sitcom as opposed to a government?

  234.  @Balfour2000  Can you explain why "transcripts"(?) are always used instead of unedited recordings? Do you honestly expect the people to continue to be content with such questionable "evidence" in the future? Don't the people have a right to hear the recordings instead of reading memorandums of the phone call? You talk about how the accusations are all based on "hearsay" but that is all we have access to because neither congress or the people are allowed to hear the recordings. All we are allowed access to is "transcripts" of the call which are actually nothing more than notes derived from people's memory of the conversation which took place during the phone call. Memory is selective and imperfect and so we should not consider such a document as evidence but rather witness testimony. Such documents should not be allowed when we have the ability to transcribe an actual transcript from the recording.

  235. Personally, I don't see a problem with exchanging favors as long as nothing devious is being done. That's simply commerce. But in this case what is found by many to be so disturbing is what trump is asking for. He's asking a foreign gov to investigate a US citizen. True, it's "creepy" joe biden, whom I must confess I don't like because of how he gropes women and little girls. But what trump was doing has also been described as colluding with foreign governments to interfere with the upcoming election. That really looks bad. Partly because it appears he is doing what he has condemned hillary clinton and others for doing to him, which makes him look like a hypocrite. I hate to say this. I wish this weren't happening. But it is and there's nothing I can do to stop it because I'm not in control of this situation in any way. Trump is the one in control. And I suspect it's all deliberate and part of some plan. I can only hope that the end result somehow benefits us (all except the enemies of truth and freedom).

  236. What I find strange is how much of the media (leftist media?) at once reports that damning testimony/evidence was received in the hearings (including the public hearings) meanwhile the few conservative news outlets are reporting a victory for trump and the republicans because trump was found innocent. It's like the two sides exist in alternate universes. I'd say perhaps they do but then the seemingly anti-trump media subtly shifts their narrative to fit what the right has been saying meanwhile spinning a new narrative (jumping from the russian collusion narrative to the ukrainian quid pro quo narrative for example). So, it seems more likely to me US politics and the news has been taken over by sports media and turned into a reality tv show for which news media is manufactured to create conflict between the two opposing teams for the purpose of fueling the ratings to keep people watching the ads injected into the show. The problem with this is that it also creates conflict between the people which is liable to spark a civil war.

  238. I give up on this drama. I'll just let others worry about it and hope for the best. I prefer not to get involved in politics anyway. I wouldn't be worrying about this if I weren't worried that it might incite a civil war regardless of whether trump is impeached or not. Seems like we are damned if he is and damned if he isn't. Because if he is impeached (and removed from office) then his supporters will rise up. If he isn't then his enemies will most likely rise up and possibly attempt to overthrow what they perceive as a corrupt government. Either way that means hard times may be coming. That's a frightening prospect. I can only hope for the best in the end.

  239. P.S. For the record, my OP here was created partly to expose a possible betrayal in trump's team. I say partly because I don't know which side I'm on yet. I am having a hard time getting a clear view of the facts. One moment it's the aid wasn't withheld but instead released 3 weeks early. The next moment somebody on trump's team is saying the ukrainians didn't know aid was being withheld. Which is it? I get the impression trump and his team are deliberately trying to provoke the House into impeaching him and occasionally throwing fuel on the fire to keep it going. At this stage it seems to me it doesn't matter whether trump is impeached or not. Regardless of the outcome there probably will be an uprising (a civil war or violent overthrow of government). If trump is impeached and removed from office his supporters will rise up. If he isn't then his enemies will rise up. It's a checkmate. Damned if you do and damned if you don't.

  240. I mentioned this to someone and he said any sort of automated crime detection is unconstitutional. He pointed to some cases involving automated speed traps set up on roadsides which take a picture if you go over the speed limit. He said a cop has to witness it, can't be a machine because that is unconstitutional. I don't know if that is correct but I do vaguely recall hearing something about how those speedtrap fines can be challenged in court and you will win because it is illegal/unconstitutional for some reason. I don't know why it is illegal. Maybe because it involves warrantless search before probable cause. The same may apply where client side scanning for criminal activity using phones are concerned. I personally don't have a problem with law enforcement using automated technologies to punish people for speeding or other traffic violations. Not enough is being done to ensure safety on the road imo. But use of automated violation detectors may be illegal. I'm inclined to say that if client side scanning protects kids then maybe it isn't so bad. But the gov tends to use kids as an excuse to take away rights and privacy. For example, I have discovered libraries are censoring online content using various filtering technology such as customized blacklists and also some "intelligent" ai based filtering of some sort. They admit that their filtering will result in some sites being unjustly blocked. They try to make it sound like that isn't a problem though because all you need to do is let the librarian know and they will unblock the site if it doesn't break their rules. That is intolerable imo because it is a violation of privacy. I shouldn't have to disclose to them what website I am trying to access. That is none of their beeswax. This lead me to discover that they aren't using secure DNS because they need to know the domain names to filter! I asked to see their privacy policy but they don't have one for using their computers or wifi hotspots. I tried to explain to them why that is a problem but they just didn't seem to understand. They kept saying things like "listen, we're NOT going to let people come in here and access illegal content". imo they shouldn't be policing people like that. Leave the policing to law enforcement. I mean if people come in there and start accessing illegal content then the police can arrest them. They are just using the excuse of protecting kids to spy and censor imo. It should be illegal for libraries to do that because that can lead to civil rights violations and abuses such as censoring perfectly legal content or a stalinesque purge of political enemies.

  241. I went to buy N95 or N100 masks at a local hardware store early on back in feb and the store said they were out which I confirmed myself (the rack was empty) so left and then went back about 20 minutes later to get something else and as I was waiting in line at the cash register the guy in front of me was buying a package of N95 masks. I thought maybe they put some more masks out and asked him where he got that and he told it was the last package. I told him I was there before he was looking for masks and they were out. I asked how long ago he grabbed that but he wouldn't answer. He would only say he grabbed it a long time ago. He seemed nervous as if he wasn't sure what to say. I asked the cashier a few questions and she also seemed nervous as of caught. She told me he worked there. So I'm guessing they are taking the masks off the shelf and keeping them in the back of the store for a privileged few. Perhaps medical pros or perhaps members of certain groups if you catch my drift. I'd expect med pros to get their masks from medical supply companies not hardware stores.

  249.  Crickett  What difference does it make whose face the mask is on? If it filters out the germs leaving my face when I'm the one wearing the mask it will also prevent those germs from getting through to your face when you are the one wearing the mask. BTW your explanation does NOT answer my question because your answer totally ignored the fact that only those who dare to leave their homes and not wear masks or follow the guidelines are the only ones who are at risk of getting sick from the virus. In a free society the decision to follow the guidelines or take the risks of not following them is left up to the individual. That is why alcohol and tobacco are still legal (even though they kill and harm bystanders who want nothing to do with them). This is also why automobiles aren't banned (even though they kill pedestrians and even people indoors when they come crashing through where they shouldn't). So why is the government suddenly stripping everyoneof their freedom to decide whether to take the risk or not where this virus is concerned? It's because the gov knows most people would take the risk and the hospitals/ER's/ICU's would become overwhelmed which would lead to deaths from people not being able to get the medical care they need from this virus or other causes. But people are not getting the medical care they need due to the shutdowns. Hospitals and such have been shut down to nearly all except those who are brought in by an ambulance. Tell me, are we going to start doing this every flu season?

  253. There is a much better alternative to ISP's: MESH NETWORKS! Look into it. A meshnet is a DECENTRALIZED network and web portal created by the people for the people using their wi-fi routers. You can even earn money using your router by making it available for the public to use as part of a meshnet. It seems the cellphone carriers are actually replacing celltowers with wi-fi systems which operate in the 4G/LTE/etc frequency spectrum. They call it 4G/LTE but it's actually wi-fi. You might think that I'm wrong because you can ride or drive around town while making a phone call or surfing the web without losing the connection but new wi-fi tech allows you to seamlessly log onto a new wi-fi hotspot automatically without having to manually enter the password when you get out of range of the hotspot you are using. This is the wave of the future, sometimes called 5G. Perhaps this is why the government leaders repealing these FCC protections insist they are trying to create the foundation necessary for development of 5G networks. If people felt safe using ISP's they'd continue to mindlessly use them. Now they will have a reason to stop paying for internet and start getting paid for using the internet instead! Come on people, what do you say? Let's show those ISP's what they will get in return for their betrayal. Why continue to pay for slow internet when you can not only have free higher speed internet but also get paid for your internet connection? So, what are you waiting for?

  255. This only applies to businesses which receive federal money, right?

  256.  @raptorx9592  IIRC the federal gov has no jurisdiction over businesses which are not federal. Most businesses are licensed and controlled by the state and local gov not the federal gov. So how can the federal gov tell businesses how to operate when that is controlled by the state and local gov.? The federal gov can only do so if a business is an agent of the federal gov or contracted with the federal gov in some way or receiving federal money. This is why the federal gov has no jurisdiction over most or some privately funded schools but does have jurusdiction over public schools which receive federal funding. This is all in my opinion of course. I am not a legal expert but this is my understanding of the law.

  262.  @hazyrory3121  The reason the word "female" can't be defined in a way which doesn't exclude any cisgender females is because we assign the female gender to all babies born with female genitalia even if they have undescended testis or male chromosomes and lack a uterus or ovaries or even a v_gina as in the case of those with androgen insensitivity syndrome. We do that because anybody whose external anatomy or phenotype is sufficiently feminine to be identified as female is assigned the female gender and often raised as female. Although such children are often regarded as gonadally and chromosomally male they are regarded as phenotypically female, hormonally female, and psychologically female. Their condition is often not diagnosed until late puberty when they fail to menstruate. Because thay had been raised female and identify as female they remain female on the social level. Would you prefer they be forced to identify as male/men? Playing devil's advocate here, we could restrict the term woman to those who are fertile females capable of giving birth to children. But we won't know who that would be until at least puberty when girls begin to menstruate (or not)...unless we start to perform a more thorough examination to determine sex at birth by checking chromosomes and/or performing a gonad biopsy and obtaining imaging of the reproductive organs to see if they have a uterus or not. But even then we won't know if they are fertile or not until they menstruate AND have a child (or not). So, perhaps we should restrict the use of the term woman to only those who have had a child. All others could be regarded as females, girls, ladies...but not women. But this is not how our society presently works. We presently regard anybody who is born phenotypically female and identifies as females as women (or girls). Perhaps I should say we regard anybody who is phenotypically female as women or girls (regardless of whether they were born with a female phenotype or not) since that would probably be more accurate. But many people regard a person born a biological male as a biological male forever after even if they undergo a medical "transition" to change their phenotype to that of a female. Only strangers who don't know them would unquestioningly regard such a person (born male) as a woman if they changed their phenotype to female through hormones, surgery, etc.

  276.  @omnisomnia  We don't count asymptomatic people because they don't know what causes covid19 yet. It's only presumed to be caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. But all we know for certain is there is this disease, meaning a cluster of symptoms, we call "covid19" which is a type of lung damage and blood clots and some sort of menengitis. We don't know what causes that beyond an overeactive immune system due to a "cytokine storm"). So asymptomatic people don't count because they don't have covid19. Remember what I said, not to confuse covid19 with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, because they are not the same thing. Covid19 is the cluster of symptoms. We don't know for certain that a virus causes the symptom cluster we call "covid19". So, asymptomatic people don't count as having covid19. Only those who get sick count. It may be true the SARS-CoV-2 virus causes the disease and that the true number is lower than it would appear. But we don't know that yet. It seems the virus may only be a cofactor (if even that; for all we know, the virus may be a communicable antibody against something such as certain toxins and that it's only in some people with overreactive immune systems that the disease manifests as a result of being activated by this antibody). The real cause of covid19 is whatever causes the immune system to overreact. That is the real cause. So, the most accurate way of calculating covid19 death rate is to calculate percentage from the ratio of the deaths vs the number of closed cases of covid19 (the disease NOT the virus). There is no better way to calculate the death rate at this time. That is my understanding of it. My understanding could become obsolete or may even already be obsolete. Feel free to correct me if that happens or has already happened.

  277.  @omnisomnia  Are there any cases of covid19 where the patient has tested negative for SARS-CoV-2? I mean are there cases of people with the symptom cluster such as the lung damage, fever, etc. who test negative for the virus? This is why raw CDC data includes deaths attributed to related conditions (pneumonia and influenza). I'm guessing somebody who tested negative for the virus will not qualify for a diagnosis of covid19 despite the fact that the virus hasn't yet been proven to cause the disease according to the standard method of proving cause using koch's postulates (last I checked).
    1
  278.  @omnisomnia  Perhaps true but there is no way to know the true prevalence and what the risks are if you ask me because there is no way to know what causes it and as you pointed out there is so much fraud going on in the medical industry to make money from exploiting this pandemic. You presume most people are asymptomatic. But based on what? Because they test positive for something which has yet to be proven to be the cause? It may be the cure! How can you know how prevalent it will be? Although fraud may be artificially inflating the numbers at this stage I read the error due to fraud results in only about 1 in 4 cases said to be covid19 not being covid19 or something like that. I don't remember the exact number but it was smaller than I thought and made me take this more seriously. If true then this may prove to be more prevalent than anyone expects. Or maybe not. Does this justify taking away people's rights? No not in my opinion. I believe there are alternatives to vaccines which are more effective and don't have any development time. The simplest solution is for people to stop overpopulating regions and spread out into smaller closed self-sufficient communities (instead of forming a global community as we have). That alone would prevent pandemics from spreading so far and wide as they do. An infectious disease probably wouldn't make it past a single community if they were to become completely closed off to outsiders.

  279.  @omnisomnia  OK. To be clear I meant we don't know how prevalent it will prove to be until it's all over. We'll have a better idea around the midway point.

  280.  @omnisomnia  It looks like the death rate is really low right now. 369 new deaths today(?) in the USA reported on the worldometer site. 16,006 new cases today(?) but only 369 new deaths. I hear the new anti-inflammatory treatments are lowering the death and complication rate. But I have to wonder how accurate those numbers are. If somebody tests negative for the virus they will probably discount it as a confirmed case even though the virus hasn't been proven to be the cause. We should be counting anybody with the symptoms as having covid19. That includes strokes, heart attacks, and blood clots. We need to compare the number of people who are having strokes, heart attacks, and blood clots to the average numbers to see if the numbers have significantly increased and by how much. If the numbers have significantly increased above the average it's a safe bet those are covid19 cases. You talk about fraud to artificially inflate numbers for the sake of a profit but I have to wonder if maybe people are artificially lowering the numbers to put an end to the shutdowns and such. Aside from that, didn't the gov stop paying for the artificially inflated numbers? I mean didn't a lot of that funding already end?
    1
  281.  @omnisomnia  I'm not sure the funding stopped. I thought I heard it had. Regardless, the numbers of covid19 deaths are dropping though. But death isn't the only danger of this disease. It can permanently disable too by causing organ damage and even CNS damage. I'm not sure if the percentage of cases which end up dead rather than disabled has decreased. I can't find any current statistics for causes of death. The best I can find is this: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/covid-data/data-visualization.htm And this: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/covid-data/covidview/index.html That last link includes some PIC data, PIC being Pneumonia, Influenza, and Covid19 data. But because the pneumonia and influenza cases are merged with covid19 cases it's hard to be sure whether the numbers of pneumonia and influenza went up or down. If you find a chart showing the numbers for related conditions in recent months please do share.

  283.  @omnisomnia  Oh. Ok. Yeah, it dawned on me evan koch was talking about 1% of the US population which would be 3.3 million since that is 1% of 330 million. Right? Current US population is approximately 330 million. You'd said the death rate is 1% and evan koch was thinking that would mean 3.3 million would die if true. But that's presuming everyone will get covid19. I'm not convinced everyone will get covid19.

  290.  @texmex9721  They may have higher oxygen density but the kinetic energy of the individual oxygen molecules is lower because the overall pressure of the gas as a whole is less. So, I'd expect less oxygen would be forced through their lung membranes. You know how hyperbaric oxygenation works? 100% oxygen at above 1 atmosphere of pressure. Anyway, oxygen (O2) is not actually 20% of the atmosphere. Years ago I'd read from many reputable sources O2 levels are actually approaching dangerously low levels (less than 19%) due to deforestation and combustion engines converting oxygen (O2) into nitrogen oxides and ozone. I'd read that at the current rate of decline the levels were expected to reach below 7% within a very short period of time (a decade or so). The levels I was reading for many cities (which tend to be different compared to outside cities on a windless day) were lower than many believed to be the minimum necessary for survival but apparently we have adapted. Soon we may need spacesuits to survive on Earth! Strangely, all online sources I am now finding say atmospheric oxygen levels are at around 20%. I suspect the truth is being supressed as we approach extinction. www.i-sis.org.uk/O2DroppingFasterThanCO2Rising.php https://www.inverse.com/article/21419-atmospheric-oxygen-levels-falling

  291.  @texmex9721  By the way, your explanations ignore the question of how the spacesuits avoid exploding or becoming rigid due to the pressure differential between inside vs outside the spacesuit.

  292.  @texmex9721  You are ignoring a point I made in my original post. And the claim that the kinetic energy of a gas is determined solely by the temperature of the whole system only proves my point.
    1
  293. Furthermore, your "explanation" of how a non-rigid spacesuit remains flexible in the vacuum of space is flawed and does not explain why such non-rigid spacesuits don't explode or become rigid. Your explanation does not apply to the gloves which would become inflexible in the vacuum of space. As Adam Savage admits in the above video, it becomes very difficult to manipulate objects with the gloves when there is a pressure differential of only about 10 psi. The pressure differential on the Moon or in deep space would be far greater than 10 psi! If the pressure of the gas on the inside of the spacesuit were to be at 3.5 psi when in vacuum then the pressure inside the spacesuit would need to be far less than 1 psi when recompressing to 1 Atmosphere of pressure. Are you saying the internal pressure and external pressure are slowly adjusted in an airlock or something? Or do they just reduce the pressure inside the spacesuit to 3.5 psi (or whatever it is) while inside a spacecraft where the external pressure is 1 atmosphere then quickly step outside the spacecraft into the vacuum of space? If they just step outside the spacecraft after pressurizing the suit to 3.5 psi in 1 atmosphere of external pressure then the internal pressure inside the suit would increase to far above 1 atmosphere of pressure and, if breathing 100% pure oxygen, the astronaut would die of oxygen toxicity. Do you see my point now?
    1
  294.  @texmex9721  Yes, the kinetic energy of the individual oxygen molecules is less because the overall pressure of the gas is lower. The oxygen molecules get their kinetic energy from collisions with other gas molecules (BTW, in a 100% oxygen gas, the other molecules are all oxygen molecules!). Momentum is transferred or exchanged in these collisions. The force or energy of these collisions is what gives a gas it's pressure. Where does this kinetic energy come from? It comes from absorbing heat energy, either thermal heat energy or radiant heat energy (AKA thermal radiation, usually infrared radiation). Thermal heat energy is a measurement of molecular motion. Hence the reason heating a gas increases the pressure of the gas. You are obviously suffering from the effects of oxygen deprivation if you can't see the connection between molecular oscillation (brownian motion), temperature, and pressure.
    1
  295.  @texmex9721  You said "The gas is heated in the suit btw". So, tell me, is the specified internal pressure before or after heating? And how is it silly to say the suit should expand and become rigid when that is exactly what is happening to the gloves in the above video?
    1
  296.  @texmex9721  You don't understand the physics. Which came first? The kinetic energy which creates the force of pressure or the heat energy which is the kinetic energy of the molecular motion? They are inseperable. Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can only change form. Yes, heat can be transferred (lost or absorbed) across a vacuum in the form of thermal radiation. But when conductive thermal energy is lost as thermal radiation it is always converted back intoheat when absorbed. Absorption of thermal radiation is one way to increase the pressure of a gas. But usually the pressure is increased by conduction of thermal energy in the form of molecular collisions. So, the kinetic energy of molecules, heat, and pressure are inseperable. It is not possible to say which comes first because they are inseperable. I should not have to explain this to you. How is it you conclude one comes before the other?

But gloves are more like balloons than brake lines. I'll be back later. I'm busy at the moment.

  299.  @texmex9721  Yes, the kinetic energy of the molecules does change as pressure changes. Any physics textbook should explain that.

  304.  @texmex9721  Average kinetic energy of gas particles is equivalent to the pressure! It is the kinetic energy of the gas particles which creates the pressure against the container. Refer to the link I shared to the wikipedia article about the "kinetic theory of gasses".

  305. Here is what NASA says about it: "The pressure of a gas is a measure of the linear momentum of the molecules. As the gas molecules collide with the walls of a container, the molecules impart momentum to the walls, producing a force that can be measured. The force divided by the area is defined to be the pressure. The temperature of a gas is a measure of the mean kinetic energy of the gas. The molecules are in constant random motion, and there is an energy (mass x square of the velocity) associated with that motion. The higher the temperature, the greater the motion." End quote from: https://www.grc.nasa.gov/www/k-12/airplane/kinth.html
    1
  306.  @texmex9721  Your confusion likely originates with an inability to see that pressure is a result of temperature. I mean you likely do not understand that energy and momentum and force are merely different ways of describing the same thing which is a mass in motion. You likely believe kinetic energy, momentum, and force are all very different things instead of seeing them as different ways of describing or quantifying the same thing (a mass in motion). Light appears to have mass or momentum despite having zero rest mass because we measure or speak of light's effect on matter. Light absorbed by matter will put that matter into motion in the form of heat. This is how thermal radiation or radiant heat energy is transferred across a vacuum. In other words, this is how the Sun heats the Earth across the vacuum of space. Photons may not have mass so when we speak of it having momentum we are actually speaking of the momentum of the mass absorbing the light which we use to measure the momentum transferred by light. To answer a question you asked earlier (if I remember correctly), if you cool a gas down to absolute zero it's pressure goes to zero. Conversely, if you reduce the pressure to zero the temperature goes to zero. To reduce the pressure to zero would probably involve expanding the size of the container to infinity, though. I could be wrong about that (expanding the volume to infinity to decrease pressure) because that may actually cause the temperature of the gas to increase. Note the thermosphere is an extremely rareified gas supposedly having a low pressure but it's temperature is extremely high (gets up to as hot as the surface of the Sun) so the pressure due to temperature may counteract the decrease in pressure due to the decrease in density. Usually, cooling a gas involves compressing it. But this actually generates heat (temporarily) because it increases the rate of collisions between the gas molecules and their container. After the heat is dissipated to the surrounding environment the gas cools down to the ambient temperature. But if you release the gas from the container it will leave the container and cool the container down. But the gas is actually claimed to be at ambient temperature or above. It is claimed to "steal" heat energy from the container and reach a lower pressure. Or so it is said. That is debateable though (for reasons which should be obvious). But I don't believe it's possible to cool anything down to absolute zero. If you could, the volume of a gas would go to zero when temperature and pressure decrease to zero.

  307. Pure nonsense. The CONCENTRATION of the oxygen may be higher than on Earth (at sea level), since it is 100% pure, but it's DENSITY is less because the pressure is approximately 1/4 of what it is (or is claimed to be) on Earth (3.5 psi vs approximately 14 psi).
    1
  308.  @texmex9721  Pressure is a measure of the kinetic energy of the gas particles. So, if temperature is a measure of the gas particle kinetic energy then temperature is also a measure of pressure since pressure is a measure of the gas particle kinetic energy. If you don't understand this then please do not bother to disturb me again.
    1
  309. While it may be true the density of the oxygen measured OVER TIME (vs a timeless moment) is slightly greater than on Earth at sea level, since it is at 100% concentration which is 5 times greater than the 20% concentration of oxygen at sea level on Earth, the difference is very small since the pressure of the oxygen is reduced to 1/4 of what it is on Earth. The reduced pressure counteracts the increased concentration. If we decrease pressure by the same (but inverse) factor as we increase the concentration then there is no change in the amount of oxygen absorbed. For example, if we decrease the pressure to 1/5 of the pressure at sea level while increasing the concentration of oxygen by 5 times to 100% this would be the same as breathing 20% oxygen at 1 atmosphere of pressure. Or so one might expect. This is ignoring the other problems I mentioned earlier such as how the gloves avoid becoming rigid due to increased internal pressure due to the increased pressure differential. We must take into consideration the pressure differential because if the external pressure is close to zero and the internal pressure is 3.5 psi then that means the gas inside the spacesuit must be extremely rareified. If you don't understand what I mean, imagine if you have a tire inflated to 3.5 psi at sea level. Take that tire into the vacuum of space and it may explode. Helium filled balloons explode all the time when they rise high into the atnosphere because they expand and stretch the balloonto their breaking point due to the increased pressure differential. The pressure outside the balloon decreases and this allows the balloon to expand. The gas insidethe balloon then decreases until it reaches equilibrium. A spacesuit may be reinforced with a strong mesh embedded inside it like a garden hose to prevent it from expanding so the internal pressure doesn't decrease when the astronaut goes out into the vacuum of space. But this doesn't make the pressure differential go away. The vacuum of space will still be sucking on the gloves and making the gas particles inside the gloves hit the inside of the gloves with greater force or pressure than they would if the external pressure were at 1 atmosphere instead of a near vacuum. If the internal pressure is at 3.5 psi while the spacesuit is in a vacuum what happens to the internal pressure when the astronaut goes back inside the space craft (without depressirizing) where the pressure differential is much less because the pressure outside the spacesuit is at 1 atmosphere (14.7 psi)? In that case the pressure outside the spacesuit is greater than inside and squeezes the glove instead of sucking on it. But the embedded mesh can't prevent the glove's volume from changing in this case so the volume inside the glove will decrease. The glove will collapse around the astronaut's hand and the pressure inside the glove (and perhaps the spacesuit) will increase. So, do the astronauts adjust the internal pressure inside their suits in an airlock where the pressure outside the spacesuit is slowly decreased or increased before going out into the vacuum of space or returning from it, to avoid such problems resulting from a pressure differential?

  310.  @texmex9721  I did provide a reference to a source which says that. See the links I shared about the kinetic theory of gasses. Kinetic energy can be converted into momentum and vice verse because they are both merely descriptions of mass in motion. You can try to argue that energy and momentum are not the same thing as many do but that won't work with me. Energy and momentum are merely two different ways of describing or measuring the same thing.

  313.  @texmex9721  To quote that NASA page I cited earlier, "the pressure of a gas is a measure of the linear momentum of the molecules". So, momentum=pressure (in this case). Kinetic energy=temperature. You can convert temperature into pressure or vice verse by converting the kinetic energy of the gas particles (which corresponds to the temperature) into momentum (which corresponds to the pressure) or vice verse. Now, please don't bother me again by arguing with common sense. If you disagree then keep it to yourself. I don't have time for foolishness.

  319. The 14th Amendment guarantees that immigrants will be welcomed as friendly visitors rather than hostile invaders and the Constitution also guarantees certain UNALIENABLE rights which all mankind (not just citizens) are entitled to such as the right to travel unimpeded within and across borders and to become a resident in any region they may choose. How do you justify violating the constitution? You can't violate the constitution and call yourself a patriot. You call it an invasion yet there is no proof these immigrants intend to harm anyone. If you don't like the fact that they are able to get on welfare and receive free healthcare then perhaps instead of being angry with them for accepting what is made available to them you should be angry with those who make it available to them. The immigrants didn't write the rules. So why do you want to punish the immigrants for following the rules while you are trying to bend and break the rules? Maybe you should divert more time and energy towards rewriting the rules instead of worrying about people who are following the rules if you don't like the rules.

  331. I try not to be judgemental but it's obvious there was something wrong with this woman. For starters she lacked basic self-protective instincts. She risked everything including her reputation within society and her freedom. She also destroyed the marriage and family she had at the time the affair started. What sort of person risks everything to have a secret extra-marital affair with a 12-year old? Then after getting arrested and put in jail then released resumed the relationship again? She says she didn't know it was wrong but she should have known it was wrong after getting punished for it. Yet she flagrantly resumed the relationship, denying that she was doing anything wrong despite society telling her she was doing something wrong! People who make their own rules and have no respect for society's rules are dangerous. Aside from that it's obvious she was exerting some mind control in this relationship. Granted, there is some mind control or at least control involved in most relationships but an adult should not be threatening to cut off a teenagers genitals for exploring other relationships. One cannot expect a teenager to choose the right person to form a relationship with for the rest of their life. If you enter into a relationship with a minor you must be willing to accept that they will leave you. If you can't accept that then maybe you shouldn't be entering into any sort of romantic or s3xual relationship with a minor!

So classical encryption should not be trusted. Only quantum encryption should be trusted. But I should point out a method of defeating quantum encryption was reportedly found which involved using optical amplifiers to "clone" the (photonic) data en masse then measuring only one of the "clones" which supposedly keeps the alteration to the original below a certain noise threshold so the alteration becomes indistinguishable from background noise as opposed to a security breach.

If gender is a social construct that means a woman is whatever people believe a woman to be and most people believe a woman to be a female or at least the member of the species without male genitalia. So how can a person with male genitalia reasonably expect to be regarded as a woman?

  334. It seems it is hard to find accurate reliable info about installing custom roms. I was lead to believe there were only a few hard to find devices which you could install custom roms on and that you would need to connect the device to a PC. It was only due to some very unlikely circumstances that I discovered the truth which is Project Treble allows you to install custom roms on most modern devices without a PC. Unless I am missing something, it seems all you need (aside from a couple apps which can easily be downloaded in addition to a code to unlock the bootloader) is an SD memory card. You store a recovery app and an OS of choice along with some essential files to the card and then boot into recovery mode, run the aforementioned recovery app on the SD card, install the OS and other files on the phone using that recovery app then you are done (as far as installing a custom rom goes). That is far easier than the instructions one usually finds. And as I said you can do that with most current phones. You only need a device with an unlockable bootloader. It seems most modern devices have unlockable bootloaders but there are a few exceptions. It seems the more expensive devices are the ones with locked bootloaders. The less expensive options are the ones which have unlockable bootloaders.

I found a lot of websites which provide instructions for installing the most current official Android Open Source General System Image (AOSP GSI) onto ANY android phone which has android 8 (or is it 8.1) or above on it. They seem to be saying any phone can have a custom ROM installed on it if it either has an unlockable bootloader or is rooted. Some sources say you can do it without unlocking the bootloader and without rooting the phone but you need to use a PC to do it. To find these instructions just use the appropriate search terms such as "install AOSP GSI custom rom on phone without unlocking bootloader or rooting". Are you using an official AOSP GSI or are you using something else like lineage OS? Based on what I've read I get the impression the official AOSP GSI is more reliable than Lineage OS and many other custom roms so long as you follow the recommendations of the project treble checker whoch tells you what sort of AOSP build you will need (partition type etc). But maybe I'm wrong about that. I wouldn't know. I've never tried it. BTW while researching all this I found some webpage or video showing how to unbrick a bricked phone. Have you tried that yet?

  336.  @robbraxmantech  Although it is probably true carrier-locked phones have locked bootloaders it seems to me many brands and models of carrier-unlocked phones have unlockable bootloaders although samsung does not. This has not always been true and seems to only have become true recently sometime within the past few years, I'm not sure when exactly). My understanding is a phone which does not have an unlockable bootloader can still be unlocked if it is rooted. But that is risky because then you are intentionally allowing someone (in the form of an app) to hack your phone and trusting them to hand over control of the device solely to you. There is some concern about the legality of rooting. It may be illegal to install a custom rom onto a phone which does not have an unlockable bootloader. In other words, if you have to root the device using a rooting app then it is probably illegal.

  337. Yeah, I heard trump said pence was on a plane heading to some far away place. People were saying some horrifying things about pence in relation to that statement from trump but I won't repeat what I heard because it may not be true. The next day I saw a report that pence made a public appearance somewhere. Im not sure if that was a report filmed before he started his self-isolation or not.

  338. A quick search revealed that public appearance (in Iowa) by pence was indeed filmed prior to him self-isolating. Hmmm. Maybe the rumours are true after all?

  339. Look into section 230. Some people say section 230 means social media can't censor user posted content, that they must remain neutral, otherwise they become a publisher as opposed to a neutral platform and therefore become liable for any and all content (remaining) on their platform which they are considered to have published. Others say section 230 was written to allow social media platforms to censor user posted content without being held liable. I'm not sure what the truth is. It seems section 230 is an extension of the same telecommunications act which requires "net neutrality", which (if true) implies internet based social media and other online service providers cannot censor content. The reason this becomes confusing is because an exception to this neutral uncensored requirement is allowed and even encouraged by gov for things like child porn. The government allows for censorship to combat crime and terrorism. It's said section 230 was PASSED by gov to allow online service providers to censor for the purpose of combatting crime and terrorism but it seems section 230 is also construed to allow censorship for any reason the online service provider may desire. This is because section 230 was originally WRITTEN (as opposed to passed) with the intent to shield social media platforms from liability lawsuits for hosting or censoring user posted content which may be considered damaging to somebody (slanderous, false, misleading, etc).
    1
  340.  @tinytroll161  Yes, exactly, because of how section 230 is interpreted. It's interpreted to mean they can censor (making them a "publisher" by acting as editor of the content they host) and yet cannot be held liable for what they "publish".

  343. @Colma B Good point that last point about how an economy's health should be measured by the ability of consumers to buy as opposed to merely the number employed vs unemployed. I don't understand why low skill jobs earn so little. Many of those jobs are an essential part of a nation's infrastructure. Yet the people with those jobs are treated as if they were NOT essential but rather disposable. Why don't business owners pay them more? If business owners payed their low level employees more then those employees would have more money to spend and so the employees would get back what they pay them in the form of increased profits. This us known as henry ford economics. The more biz owners pay their employees the more the biz makes in profits. So why must there be such a huge difference between what business owners make versus what their lower level employees make? At the very least an employee should make enough to cover the cost of living today and after retirement, mainly medical expenses. We shouldn't need to rely on medical insurance or social security or pensions to make ends meet. Employers should pay their employees enough to make ends meet without relying on government or pensions.

  345. Prostate is just a type of uterus which functions a little differently. There's also a v_gina in the prostate. Both males and females start out with the same anatomy as a foetus then begin to diverge by differences in the sizes of certain parts. What becomes the prostate in a male becomes the uterus and v_gina in a female. Likewise, what becomes the cl1toris in a female becomes the p_nis in a male. In some cases a genetic female can develop as a male or a genetic male can develop as a female (during foetal development) complete with functional gonads of the opposite sex. Some people who are genetically female can not only be anatomically male but also have ovaries or at least ovotestis in their nutsack. In the case of ovotestis they can switch between functioning as ovaries or testis.

  346.  SA S  I have a new policy which forbids wasting time with idiots but I'll make an exception and give you a chance to redeem yourself. I'm not sure what part you are disagreeing with but to start with I suggest you look into the sexual development or sexual differentiation of a human foetus. Also, look into swyers syndrome AKA "xx females", androgen insensitivity syndrome, and de la chapelle syndrome AKA "XX males" (thats just for starters) then try to come back and honestly tell me I don't know what I'm talking about. The fact is you are the one who doesn't know what you are talking about, as proven by your claim human DNA will never be altered. Apparently you haven't been paying attention to the news because its been in the news that genetically engineered humans have been created using what is called CRISPR technology, with more on the way. For example, in china, they created genetically engineered humans which are immune to HIV (if I understand correctly).

  347.  @untamedpandasweg8986  I'm not sure I understood the analogy of rural indians vs americans defecating in public but the fact is the figure you quote (less than 1/100,000,000) is NOT the actual number of people who are intersexed (hermaphrodites, androgynes, etc). The miniscule figures often cited is for the number of people diagnosed with intersexed but doesn't represent the actual number of those who go undiagnose. The actual number isn't known because unless a person is sterile the chances of them finding out they are intersex is 1 in 100,000 because unless they are sterile a doctor isn't likely to investigate the possibility of an intersex condition. Not all intersex people are sterile though. There are cases of "XY females" (women with swyers syndrome, even in cases where they had gonadal dysgenesis AKA "streak gonads" (suggesting Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome is related to swyer syndrome) getting pregnant and successfully giving birth. The fact that 60% of males develop breasts (a condition called gynecomastia) suggests the number of intersex people may be as high as 1 in 2 or greater. Although the literature says gynecomastia is caused not only by intersex conditions but also by illegal drugs such as opiates and also by malnutrition, the fact is correlation does not equal causation. One must consider the possibility illegal drug use may be higher amongst intersex people for some reason. I've found evidence that alcohol abuse is higher amongst intersex people because it's used to self-medicate (for hypoglycemia among other problems such as anxiety in the case of people with adrenal hyperplasia). Hence the reason intersex conditions are sometimes blamed on fetal exposure to alcohol. But as I said, correlation does not equal causation. As stated, gynecomastia is also blamed on malnutrition but the fact is changes in blood sugar levels (spikes and drops) can cause ovotestis in people with ovotestis (those called "true hermaphrodites") to reverse gonadal sex (meaning ovotestis functioning as testis begin to function as ovaries or vice verse). I should inform you there is much misinformation out there designed to hide the truth about hermaphrodites for whatever reason. I'm guessing that reason is fanatics trying to uphold the notion that there should only be two sexes/genders and/or the adam and eve legend. Perhaps this is the wrong place to be sharing such insights but there you have it for whatever it's worth.

  348.  @untamedpandasweg8986  I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to say when you say either gender is a social construct or biological sex matters. It appears the claim being made by scientists and doctors is that transgender people are transgender because they are actually intersexed in some way, perhaps neurologically (the brain being considered the most important sex organ). Furthermore, if you have the knowledge I have about sex/gender you would know that the definitions of male and female are not certain. We tend to believe the distinction is clear, that a female produces ova gets pregnant and either lays an egg or gives birth while a male produces sperm which fertilizes the ova. Right? But the fact is in some animals such as birds and even some mammals we find that what we call chromosomal males are the ones which produce the ova and the ones which are what we'd otherwise call chromosomal females produce the sperm and fertilize the ova. We call the chromosomal males "females" because we are using a definition of "male" as the sperm producer and the definition of "female" as ova producer. But if we use chromosomal sex to determine sex it could be argued that females originally were the sperm producers and males were the ova producers. Science teaches birds evolved from dinosaurs so it is possible the same applies to the ancient saurian ancestors of humans. If so, then that means somewhere along the way of evolving into mammals, either before or after the emergence of mammals, our ancient ancestors reversed sex the same way birds and reptiles sometimes do to produce XY males and XX females and these survived and/or reproduced more succesfully than their XX male and XY female ancestors did. Perhaps this is getting too complex for the average person but the fact is sex isn't some trait which can be easily measured or determined because it isn't determined by a single trait but rather by weighting several traits such as chromosomal sex, gonadal sex, anatomical sex, hormone levels, hormone sensitivity and response, sexual instinct/behavior, reproductive role, and (in the case of humans) gender identity. All of these factors combined play a role in determining whether we consider a creature male or female. When you fully understand the implications of this fact you will understand that the concept of biological sex is actually a social construct because how we define male or female is arbitrary. Do we define male or female based on the absence or presence of certain chromosomes, the absence or presence of certain genes, gonadal type, anatomy, or some other trait? Take your pick. Personally, I prefer to use genes (over chronosomes and other factors) but there are exogenous factors which can override genes causing a person whose genes dictate they should be a female to become a male or vice verse. But should we consider someone who is genetically female but born with male anatomy a female if they identify as male? No, in my opinion, we should not. Not even if it's discovered they have fertile ovaries in their nutsack because gender identity trumps all in my opinion. Only if they identify as a female (despite having an apparently male external anatomy) should we consider them a female. After all, biological sex is a social construct. However, I am inclined to believe if it's true jessica yaniv has ovaries or even ovotestis functioning as ovaries jessica has more of a right to access female only spaces, regardless of their appearance, than somebody who is what we consider male in every way (chromosomally, genetically, anatomically, hormonally) but self-identifies as a woman. But to be clear, I do believe people have a right to self-identify as the opposite sex (or both sexes or no sex at all). Yet, somebody whose gonadal sex is female and identifies as a female has more legitimacy as a female than somebody whose gonadal sex is male but identifies as a female. In other words, if its true jessica yaniv has ovaries, menstruates, and can get pregnant then it seems to me she has more of a right to use the ladies room than blaire white. Not to say blaire white has no right to use the ladies room. But if blaire white can use the ladies room then yaniv should also be allowed to use the ladies room. The fact that yaniv prefers women is irrelevant. Lesbians are equally entitled to use the ladies room, aren't they? It doesn't matter if yaniv proves to be a pedophile (which I doubt) because even convicted pedophiles registered as sex offenders are entitled to use public restrooms despite the fact that may put them in proximity to children (I should emphasize yaniv is neither a convicted pedophile nor registered sex offender). I find the abuse yaniv is enduring to be horrifying. It seems to me she is being abused because she is perceived by many be too "masculine" to be entitled to self-identify as female (primarily because she is sexually attracted to women). As if appearance is important where gender identity, or rather acceptance of one's gender identity, is concerned.

  349.  SA S  Don't place the blame for my failure to read your mind on me. I DID read the message you were responding to. You failed to write a coherent reply with a clear meaning. Human DNA can easily be altered so that a person can become the opposite sex. That happens naturally after all (as in the case of XX males and XY females). So your claim that human DNA can never be altered to allow a person to fully become the opposite sex seems like the ramblings of somebody who doesn't know what they are talking about to me. I'll apologize for saying that if you can make a convincing argument for why you say what you're saying about genetic sex reversal.

  351. What is that judge saying? Sedition is a thought crime which cannot be punished? The violence involved in overthrowing a government is separate from the sedition and must be dealt with as a separate crime?

  352.  @emmawillard1832  Oh so it doesn't matter that they (those who established the CHOP autonomous zone) overthrew the government? That doesn't make it sedition because you can't prove they went in with the intention to overthrow the gov and establish the autonomous zone? Crazy. The fact is they overthrew the local gov. They did it deliberately. That can be proven by the fact they declared it an autonomous zone which was not a part of the united states or the state, county, or city. So the probability that it can't be proven they went in with the intention to overthrow the gov seems irrelevant to me. It can be proven they did deliberately attempt to overthrow the gov at some point. Maybe not at the beginning but certainly at some point after the riots and looting began. If they hadn't declared it an autonomous zone then it might be debateable whether they commited sedition. But they did declare it an autonomous zone. That clearly makes it sedition. Same for other autonomous zones established.

  353.  @emmawillard1832  They established an "autonomous zone" which they declared to be separate from the state, county, city, and federal gov (united states). They chased the police out of this zone and declared it separate. Although the state, county, city, and federal gov continued to exist elsewhere in the state they declared they overthrew them all within that region (the CHOP autonomous zone). That is sedition. Although that autonomous zone no longer exists it doesn't mean they didn't attemp to overthrow the gov in that region. It's attempted sedition at the very least IMO.

  355.  @emmawillard1832  Do I really need to prove to you what happened in the autonomous zones? Are you going to be that stubborn? Everybody who watched the news during that time knows what happened, that the protestors seized control of the areas by force declaring them police free zones. In Seattle a police precinct in the CHOP autonomous zone was abandoned due to the riots. The police were effectively chased out of the zone. This is how private homes in the zone were able to be seized by protestors. See here for yourself: https://youtu.be/NOJHJyKtRmc https://youtu.be/x_tNNIodKUU https://youtu.be/APm6iZk10NI https://www.kuow.org/stories/they-gave-us-east-precinct-seattle-police-backs-away-from-the-barricade Again, the fact that the state, county, and city governments continued to exist does not mean sedition did not occur. Arguing that sedition did not occur is like arguing that the Confederate states were not guilty of sedition when they attempted to secede from the Union during the US civil war in te 1800's since the US federal government continued to exist both during and after that war. Your "logic" is absurd.
    1
  356.  @emmawillard1832  It took you that long to come up with that nonsensical response? Are you seriously arguing that sedition itself is not a crime but rather it is merely conspiring to commit sedition which is a crime? The definition of conspiracy is "to act in harmony toward a common end". Conspiracy itself is not a crime. Otherwise, conspiring to set up an "intervention" to convince an alcoholic to check into a detox and rehab center would be a crime. But such details aside, the fact is people did act in harmony to establish a police-free zone at the CHAZ and also in D.C. Their activities chased the police out and the activists worked together to keep the police out thereafter, did they not? About your rebuttal to my pointing out that the united states gov continued to exist despite the the fact that the confederate states overthrew the federal government within their borders during the civil war of the 1800's, the law I cited doesn't say one must establish a new organized system of gov. It simply says one only need to "conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof". The CHAZ activists established a police-free zone. That is overthrowing the gov and preventing, hindering, or delaying the execution of the law in that region. It's debateable whether the actions of the CHAZ activists were directed towards the "Government of the United States" or any "law of the United States". But the same cannot be said of the activists who created the autonomous police-free zone in Washington, D.C. Understand? Now, I'm not an expert on law nor taking sides in this debate. I'm simply commenting on what I believe to be what the law says/means. This is all merely my opinion. I believe my opinion is the obvious interpretation of the facts anybody with common sense would arrive at. I'm simply saying I won't be surprised if the people responsible for establishing the CHAZ are convicted of sedition based on my understanding of what the law says. Ok? Feel free to disagree and argue but there is no guarantee I will respond any further. I've said all I have to say at this point. I really don't have any desire to waste time arguing with fools.

  357.  @emmawillard1832  "In a rational order: It took you this long to spew out a number of paragraphs of pure, unadulterated gobbledygook. Your Paragraph one: You wrote: "Conspiracy itself is not a crime." If conspiracy to commit sedition is not a crime, why is conspiracy to commit the substantive offense listed in the US Crimes Code?" I didn't say conspiracy to commit sedition isn't a crime. Learn to read. I said conspiring (in general) itself is not a crime. Whether conspiring is a crime or not depends on what one is conspiring to do. If one is conspiring to commit sedition then that is a crime. But conspiring to throw a surprise birthday party for someone isn't a crime. So conspiring itself isn't a crime. Do I really need to explain that to you? "Or were you completely confused by the very "research" you offered: a cite to the CRIME of conspiracy to commit a substantive crime, namely sedition, and not the substantive crime itself?" It seems obvious to me that the substantive crime of sedition has been combined with conspiracy to commit sedition. I mean if somebody commits a seditious act they can be prosecuted for it under the seditious conspiracy law I cited. That law allows for prosecution of both actual seditious acts (which have been carried out) and also planned seditious acts (which have not been carried out) IMO. Understand? "Can you read -- actually, can you comprehend simple words in English -- at a level higher than, say, middle school?" Yes, I can. But apparently you can't. So I am no doubt wasting my time trying to communicate my thoughts with you. " Where is anything like an intervention between family members or friends to assist in the health care of another identified as a crime in any state or under federal law.? Cite the provision." I never said such an intervention is a crime! My point was that such a conspiracy would be an example of a conspiracy which is NOT a crime. I was trying to prove conspiracy itself is not a crime. Again, do I really need to explain this or are you really so foolish I need to explain this to you? "Copy, cut and paste my comments or remarks where I asserted that sedition is not a crime. Come on now, Dearie, you're so good at research it will be easy for you in this list of comments where I specifically stated that sedition is not a crime. You offer the typical strawman argument: assert what you claim someone else said (but never said) and then beat it to death with a cudgel. Your strawman, having been destroyed, put up my comments where I asserted that sedition is not a crime. Be brave, now. Try to be a grown up who takes responsibility for the results of fingers on a keyboard. Can't find that text, can you? We all knew that. You're the only one who didn't. " In an earlier reply from you dated Sept 25 2020 you wrote: "Got a cite to the US Code wherein a crime of attempted sedition is defined? I thought not". "Get a new strawman: yours is a failure." Are you talking to yourself now? " Copying what you believe are relevant facts yet again proves only that you are "stuck" what you believe are relevant facts and have no comprehension of how those facts relevant or irrelevant to the application of the applicable law. We continue to note: I gave you a whole list of relevant queries and you are too lazy -- and too angry -- to address them. An exercise by which you might learn some now missing critical thinking skills if you were not so misguided by your own bias and prejudice. Your Paragraph Two. Now you want to talk about the substantive law of sedition but you haven't even bothered to cite a relevant provision. The provision of the US Code which you cited doesn't address the establishment of a new government after ouster of an old government because, Dearie, you cited the US Code provision for conspiracy and not the substantive law!" There is no law against the substantive act of sedition which is still regarded as legally valid other than the one I cited that I know of. If you know of one feel free to correct me. Otherwise do not bother me again. My understanding is all other laws in the US regarding sedition have been repealed or ruled to be unconstitutional (exveot for perhaps state, county, or city laws concerning sedition but I don't know of any such state laws). This doesn't mean sedition is no longer a crime though. It seems the substantive crime was merged with the law criminalizing the intent. Understand? "Look up the word, "conspire" in any dictionary. You might learn something. Might, but I have little hope for improvement: you're so lost and wedded to your own bullshit you can't even put a cogent argument together with references to appropriate sources!" LOL! I did look it up. I gave you a copied and posted quote of the definition for "conspire" in my last reply. Here is the definition again: "to act in harmony toward a common end" https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/conspire So who is full of BS? You are! "Did you miss all of the class time in school where the elements of research papers was taught? Were you asleep or truant while some people learned what you do not know?" Are you talking to yourself again? You SHOULD be asking YOURSELF that question. " Your Paragraph Three You admit: "It's debateable whether the actions of the CHAZ activists were directed towards the "Government of the United States" or any "law of the United States". If it's debatable (that's how the word is correctly spelled)" Oh really? https://www.spellcheck.net/debateable https://www.collinsdictionary.com/us/dictionary/english/debatable " whether the actions of the protestors were "directed towards the "Government of the United States" or "any law of the United States" then your conclusion, that said protestors / occupiers of the area committed the stated offense. Or are we now, in the United States, going to deprive individuals of their liberty on the basis of your mere opinion of what constitutes a substantive offense? For over a month now, homeless individuals have built camps in two areas of Philadelphia, one on a major parkway and the other near the Philadelphia Housing Authority. Is their camp -- and they will not move from it for reasons which are easily comprehended by empathetic people -- and their actions to remain in their camp an exercise in sedition against the United States? The other day, after a federal judge ordered them to remove themselves, the cops and the authorities showed up and the media showed up too. At the end of that peaceful encounter, the squatters were still in their camp and all others left. Why didn't the Philadelphia DA charge them in the federal suit with sedition?" Did those homeless occupiers set up a police-free zone? I am getting exhausted arguing with your nonsense. As if I don't have better things to do. " Was the suit even filed citing a CRIMINAL statute? Maybe you should find out. You might -- although I have doubts -- learn that there are civil actions and there are criminal actions in both state and federal judicial systems. That's a bit of fact one should have known before Day One as a 1L. The occupiers of an area in Portland committed and were guilty of the crime of sedition against the United States but the occupiers of an area in DC were not? WOW!" What are you talking about? Where did I say the occupiers in DC aren't guilty if sedition? You really need to learn to read. " There's a distinction without a difference if all we rely upon to make an assessment of what is criminal conduct, for which loss of liberty may apply, and civil disobedience for which loss of liberty applies, are your list of facts and unsupported conclusions!

  359.  @emmawillard1832  I challenge you to cite any other law which criminalizes sedition and which is still in effect for US citizens and hasn't been judged to be unconstitutional. I believe you will find there are no other laws which would apply to citizens. There might be some other laws which apply to foreigners but those cases would probably be handled by the military meaning it would fall under martial law not civil law. As far as I know the only law which still applies to citizens is the one I cited concerning the crime if conspiracy to commit sedition. If you know of another please do share. If you can't cite another law still in effect which applies to citizens then don't bother to reply. To answer your question about whether both person A and B would be prosecuted for the crime of seditious conspiracy if B backed out the day before A carried out the seditious plan, the answer is it depends on whether B notified authorities or not (IMO). If B didn't notify the authorities then he could be regarded as an accomplice IMO. Do I really need to explain this to you?

  361.  @emmawillard1832  I told you early on I take no sides. I also made it clear I am not an expert on law and am only sharing my opinion and that should not be construed as giving legal advice. It's not my problem if you can't see that. Also, I didn't lie when I wrote that message saying "TLDR". I hadn't read beyond the first couple paragraphs when I wrote that. I later read it after realizing there may be laws which apply to foreigners (but not citizens/nationals) to see if maybe you had something worthwhile to say. I unblocked you in an attempt to prove to you that there is no (civil) law against sedition by challenging you to cite a law against the substantive act of sedition other than the one I cited which is still considered enforceable (upon citizens). I can see that was a mistake because here you are trying to deflect that challenge with distractive insults and criticisms. I told you don't bother to respond to me again unless you cite that law you claim to know about. For the last time do not bother me again unless you can cite that law. You may be free to continue to post your foolish theatrics here but I don't believe you are free to continue to harass me by sending ME messages after I have asked you to stop. If you cannot cite the relevant law as requested then I must ask you to cease and desist from any further communication with me. If you cannot cite such a law but want to continue to share your thoughts for others to read then feel free to do so but do not address those responses to ME! Talk to yourself or your imagined audience of others you delusionally believe are learning from you here. Understand? I don't want to hear from you again unless you can cite another law which criminalizes the substantive crime of sedition and which is still valid. So please don't address your responses to me so that I don't get interrupted with notifications of your nonsense. Talk to yourself/others here. Not me. Ok? In other words, reply to yourself not me (by replying to our own comments here). You are hereby informed that I will consider any further communications from you to be harassment unless it includes a citation to another law criminalizing sedition which is still in effect for citizens/nationals. Understand? I will not ask you to cease and desist from your harassment again. BTW the fact that you get paid to do research into law doesn't mean you are legally licensed to give legal advice. I see no disclaimer in any of your communications. Instead you attempt to portray yourself as an expert qualified to give legal advice. I hope for your sake you ARE an expert legally qualified to give legal advice. Otherwise you may find yourself in serious trouble (IMO).

  362.  @emmawillard1832  P.S. : If somebody ran a red light would you say I was taking sides if I pointed out that it's illegal to run a red light? Your insistence that I am taling sides simply for pointing out what the law says is absurd. The fact is YOU are the only person here taking sides with your arguing that what happened in seattle and elsewhere, the setting up of police-free zones, etc, wasn't sedition.

  363.  @emmawillard1832  I don't have time to expose the contradictions in your logic. Besides there is no need. The contradictions are on full display and obvious for all to see here. BTW when I say "civil law" I mean civilian law or "citizen's law" (as opposed to military or martial law). Citizen's law encompasses what you call criminal law IMO. But I don't expect you to understand that with your corrupt understanding of law based on a legal system which has been hijacked by foreign governments. So, don't bother to try to correct me. I'm blocking you for the final time now. I gave you a chance to cite a law (other than the one I cited) which criminalizes seditious acts. You failed. So now I'm blocking you. If you have something more you want to say to me then talk to yourself. I'm sure that's one thing in life you're really good at. Have fun with that.

  364. Before this facemasking and social distancing started, a phobia of germs which had you isolating yourself to avoid getting infected and wearing a facemask to go out in public would get you diagnosed as mentally ill. Strange how we are now all being required to behave like germ phobes without being regarded as mentally ill (by the same people who would have diagnosed you as mentally ill for isolating yourself to avoid infection). Makes me wonder if maybe the lunatics have taken over the asylum so to speak.

  368.  @AJScraps  I share your feelings. I appreciate your comment. It's good to know I am not alone. I would be living out in the forest like a native american myself were it not for my medical condition which makes me reliant upon the modern world for survival. I would probably die if civilisation were to collapse and everybody were to return to a more natural way of life because that would leave me without the technology which keeps me alive. But I don't care because I don't believe death is the end. Not to preach but in fact I KNOW we never truly die. I say that based on scientific knowledge. So I don't fear what may come. I certainly am not so selfish that I would want people to continue with their current toxic way of life so that I may live. I am getting old and nearing the end of my life anyway and in my old age I have grown very close to nature with wild animals having become my best friends. I grow tired of saving them from being poisoned by humans. Humans are such toxic creatures they remind me more of a toxic red algae bloom (AKA "red tide") which kills everything else around it. I recently got poisoned myself picking up a discarded acrylic nail kit somebody threw onto the side of a road which was leaking methacrylic acid and no doubt poisoned some of the local wildlife by infusing water with that poison. Then there is the problem of discarded cigarettes which poisons wildlife believe it or not. I don't understand why humans have become so unnatural and toxic. It seems part of the reason we are sacrificing the ecosystem for technology is because we fear death by an asteroid impact. We seem to believe it's necessary to poison the earth to create the technology to leave it someday and ensure our survival by colonizing the universe. Yet, we don't actually need to keep poisoning the Earth the way we do. We now have the technology to stop that. How can we expect to survive on other planets if we can't stop pushing ourselves to the brink of extinction on this planet? Have you ever noticed how crazy humans are? Take for example how we mow lawns. Why do we plant grass which grows longer than we'd like so that we have to mow it? If we don't like how long it grows why do we plant it? Do we really have nothing better to do than mow our lawns and spray them witj toxic chemicals? Most people don't have the time for it. The fact is most weeds are edible and medicinal do are free food and medicine. But we cut it and kill it off instead of letting it grow. Why can't we be content with the natural beauty of a natural lawn? Did you know weeds won't grow in a natural unmowed lawn because the shade of longer grass prevents weeds from growing. By mowing the lawn we create conditions which allow weeds to grow. So why don't we just let the grass grow? Why must we mow it? If we don't like how long it grows why don't we plant a shorter grass like bermuda grass which doesn't need to be mowed (as if any grass needs to be mowed). Or cover our yards with rocks instead of grass. But most people insist on burdening themselves with mowing the lawn. It's crazy and representative of our relationship with nature.

  369.  @AJScraps  Such ranting and raving about humans aside I believe we may actually be returning to living like the native americans. But this doesn't necesarily mean we will be giving up technology including advanced technologies. You see, technology has evolved to the point where it is becoming invisible through nanotechnology. Computers and phones will disappear and be replaced by DNA based computers which interface with our minds via "non-invasive" nanotech neural interfaces (by non-invasive I mean no surgery will be required to implant them because they will instead grow into our bodies like a fungus). Instead of using a computer monitor and other devices such as VR displays, loudspeakers or headphones we will interact with these computers and with each other in our dreams and/or through collective hallucinations. Vehicles will also be replaced. Either we will "evolve" wings (through genetic modification) or will teleport using nanobots which exploit wormhole technology. Believe it or not much of this technology is already real. We've had much of it all along, having inherited it from an ancient advanced civilisation. This technology is what is responsible for some of what we call paranormal phenomena. There is talk about using neural interface technology to achieve immortality by cloning our minds but that technology is already a reality in the form of the ancient nanotechnology I am talking about. DARPA is working on creating what they call a personal protective biosystem or PPB to make soldiers (and civilians) impervious to chemical and biological weapons but the fact is this technology is already real. You see, we have an ecosystem symbiotic microbes which live on and within our bodies and protect us from everything such as disease causing microbes and parasites and toxins. Unfortunately humans have damaged this microbiome with things such as soaps and chlorinated water and other disinfectants. This is why humans are so fragile in comparison to animals which can drink dirty water and eat raw uncooked food from off the ground without getting sick. Granted not every creature is equally competent. Some do get sick. But others don't. This is due partly to differences in their microbiomes. Some creatures are seemingly indestructible. This is due to their microbiome. It seems the govs of the world have a plan to protect the ecosystem using this technology (to say the least). That plan seems to already be in motion. As I said, the technology is already real. Gov seems to have a plan to take it to another level though to protect everything and everyone. That may not be wise though. After all, nature requires natural selection. The gov plan does involve an AI which will monitor and control everything to ensure proper function and balance of the ecosystem though.

But before that many homeless tend to be mentally ill and incompetent due to illegal drugs.

If they want to be a publisher then they will be held accountable as the publisher for everything they don't censor. Nobody is forcing them to be a publisher. So if they don't want to incur liability as the publisher they simply shouldn't behave like a publisher. It's as simple as that, snowflake. BTW you realize you are the snowflake here right?

  387. All we have so far is hearsay. The call "transcripts" we've been given aren't really transcripts. They're memorandums or memoires of the calls which were created by 3rd parties, notes at best. So they are nothing more than 3rd party hearsay. Until either trump testifies or allows us to hear the recording of the call we won't know what was actually said in that call. Until such undeniable proof is received I will not accept that trump actually commited the offenses he's been accused of because I don't believe he would actually have been foolish enough to do what he's been accused of. To suggest trump would collude with ukraine to obtain damning information about joe biden after all he's been through with accusations of colluding with the russians to defeat his political rivals is like expecting people to believe trump would be foolish enough to set up his own email server like hillary clinton did!

But the 2016 election was corrupted on many levels. Bernie Sanders was betrayed by the DNC for example. But do you really believe there should be a re-election because the russians "interferred" with the election by merely disseminating propaganda to sway voters?

Or are you saying trump won because the russians hacked the democrats and found damaging info which when made public on wikileaks and social media platforms caused many to vote for trump? Tell me, was said damaging info false? Or was it true? If true, then didn't voters have a right to have that info? If false, then do you believe there should be a re-election because some voters proved themselves mentally incompetent and were swayed by said propaganda? If so, do you expect said voters will choose more wisely in a re-election? Perhaps you expect said voters to be removed from the picture by convicting them of treason for supporting a president you believe was elected through treason? Is that where this is heading? If so, looks like both republican and democrat voters may soon be eliminated because both parties are accused of treason since both the DNC and trump's campaign staff are claimed to be guilty of colluding with foreigners who interferred with the election. Looks to me like this may be the end of the two-party system.

  399. Inbreeding produces genetic clones. My understanding is that it's actually malnutrition whuch cause genetic disease. You see, genes do not dictate destiny. They only predispose probabilities. Proper diet can prevent the diseases supposedly encoded in oyr genes. The reason genetic diseases are more common in cultures which practice inbreeding is because malnutrition tends to also be a problem in those cultures. So it's questionable whether inbreeding or malnutrition causes the diseases. Since inbreeding produces clones I believe it's malnutrition which causes the disease. The fact is inbreeding occurs commonly in nature with no problems. The only time inbreeding could conceivably be a problem is when both pairs of the 23 chromosome sets we inherit from our parent are the same sets (duplicates). But I would not expect such offspring to be naturally terminated and miscarried. It simply isn't viable. So the only result from inbreeding should be genetic clones.

  402. Maybe the video in question got deleted because it contained content deemed offensive or unsafe for children? They use protecting children as an excuse to censor online content when children can be protected by the parents setting up obscenity filters and such on their computers. I know there are parents who don't properly protect their kids but the solution isn't censorship on the social media platform's end. Censorship of any sort is wrong. If somebody is doing something illegal then they can be shutdown. But nobody should ever be censored because that creates a dangerous precedent which ultimately leads to unjustified censorship and suppression of any and all content as we have all seen and experienced. All it takes now is for somebody who doesn't agree with something you say to report the content as "offensive" and the offending content is removed. Give them an inch and they will take a mile. It all began with the promise that they were only going to censor to protect children. Now we have all become victims of tyrannical censorship. As the saying goes: those who sacrifice a little liberty for a little security deserve neither liberty nor security!

  403. I am offended by how Rachel Dolezal compares her racism to being transgendered. Transracialism would be considered a mental illness by mental health professionals whereas transgenderism is considered to be due to a natural variation in humans with biological basis (genetic and hormonal variations). Rachel Dolezal says race doesn't exist and has no biological basis, that there is no white blood or black blood. That is NOT true. There IS a biological basis for race. There are genetic tests which can determine racial ancestry. There are also race specific bloodtypes (such as the newly discovered J blood type). If race doesn't exist as she insists, she shouldn't be identifying as ANY race! She is a delusional racist who needs to seek the help of a mental health professional.

  405.  @alisonreneedailey1364  BTW...something I noticed is that although the food label law (forcing manufacturers/distributors to disclose bioengineered (BE) ingredients) took effect jan 1 2022 I am noticing some packages of some brands of my favorite non-organic foods say nothing about bioengineering while other packages of the same product do. I'm not sure if this is due to some batches lacking such ingredients while others do have such ingredients or if it's due to some old labels being used. It may be a year or more before all the old labels disappear. Manufacturers were supposed to start disclosing BE ingredients starting around 2020 if I remember correctly but the law didn't become mandatory until 2020. Nobody seems to be enforcing it yet though and food manufacturers/distributors are fighting the law so it remains to be seen whether the law will stick or not. Aside from that some manufacturers seem to think they can use what they call "smart" labels to disclose the presence of BE ingredients on some website (accessible only via a QR code on the label), which they regard as an extension of the label, instead of disclosing it on the actual label. Other manufacturers/distributors may be getting around the new labelling law by providing a phone number of the label with instructions to call if you have any questions. IMO these attempts to get around the labelling law are illegal. A person may not be wondering whether there are any BE ingredients but they still have a right to know. And disclosing it on a website linked to the product via a QR code on the label is NOT disclosing it on the label. So I personally do not buy any products which use such "smart" labels. I figure that means they have something to hide unless the label also says "non-gmo" or "organic" on it. IMO seeing "non-gmo" on the label doesn't mean much though even if it is third party certified because last I checked none of the third party certifiers check for genetically engineered RNA's. They only check for engineered DNA. Much of bioengineering is being done with RNA's these days I do believe. So guarantees of non-gmo are next to useless in my opinion. I'm not even sure the "organic" label guarantees no BE ingredients are present anymore. People are simply going to need to stop relying on strangers for their food if they don't want to be poisoned. It's that simple.

The people who had that fuel dumped on them had their right to liberty horribly violated. What happened to them was akin to rape.

Listen, it's a fact that jet fuel causes mental impairment. Nobody should be exposed to that against their will. If you want to live in a world where jet fuel can be dumped on you without any consequences I'd say douse yourself in jet fuel first then come back and argue. But based on your obvious mental impairment (as evidenced by your inability to speak without irrelevantly using trendy comebacks as a crutch) I'm guessing you've already been exposed to jet fuel.

  416.  @fryede03  Yeah, I want an outright ban because the fact is I know there are better technologies which don't require toxic fuel. We shouldn't still be using the combustion engine.

If people lose money because of such a ban too bad. They should have invested in non-polluting propulsion technologies when they had the chance.

  424. I don't get how reforming s230 would make platforms responsible for content posted by users instead of the users themselves. Platforms SHOULD lose s230 protection if they act as publishers. Only if platforms remain neutral should they be protected by s230. But if they begin to censor content or act as a publisher of content in any way such as through editing or censorship then they should NOT be protected by s230. Why is this so hard for people to understand that they think reforming s230 means taking away the protection of s230 from everyone instead of only those platforms which censor and edit? Here you got somebody from internet archive claiming they may be forced to censor content stored in their archive because they could be held liable as a publisher since they selectively curate content. But internet archive could simply become part of the new internet (web 3.0) which uses technologies such as IPFS to prevent censorship or other loss of content on the web. The only difference is you wouldn't be directing your browser to internet archive's or wayback machine's website to find the archived data. Instead you'd essentially direct your search engine to the original website (URL) where the content was originally located (except the "https://" would be replaced with "ipfs://", for example). This may soon become the standard and would make the internet archive project and it's "wayback machine" obsolete (which is great since the internet archive is centralized and there is no way to know whether the websites it curates haven't been altered in any way). Of course IPFS itself doesn't eliminate the problem of the data being altered either but at least it decentralizes the data. Alas, IPFS isn't the only technology being implemented to combat censorship or other loss of content on the web. There are similar but superior technologies (such as holonet) although they have not yet become as widely adopted as IPFS because they are still in development.

  425.  @Euphoniumstar  Your understanding of the history of s230 is wrong IMO. Prior to s230 becoming law platforms were being held liable for content hosted by them. Section 23O cleared them of liability but only if they remained neutral as opposed to acting as an editor or publisher. An exception for "good samaritan" censorship of illegal content by the platform was allowed for though meaning the platform would not be regarded as a publisher of any content if they censored illegal content. But any other censorship would make them liable as a publisher.
    1
  426.  @Euphoniumstar  Do I really need to explain to you that if a platform is engaging in editing or censorship of content (outside of an honest conformance to the "good samaritan" clause of s230) that it is acting as a publisher? How can somebody who is acting as a publisher not be regarded as a publisher? They can only expect to not be regarded as a publisher if they truly aren't behaving like a publisher. Being selective of what you allow on your platform by editing or censoring content (outside of good samaritan censorship clause) undeniably makes you a publisher.
    1
  427.  @Euphoniumstar  EO 13925 made it clear that a host's censoring of user created content outside of the good samaritan clause makes them a publisher which can be held liable for all content hosted by them. I'm not sure what became of that EO though.

  428.  @Euphoniumstar  s230 is an extension of telecommunications laws which require the telecommunications providers (such as ISP's) to be neutral and refrain from interfering with the delivery of communications. s230 is not the whole of the law but rather a section or subsection of a greater law and also a greater set of telco laws. Research the topic more deeply and you will find what I am saying to be true. Aside from that the fact is you need to understand the intent behind a law's creation to properly interpret it. The creation of s230 was created to make clear that platforms such as twitter should not be held liable for content hosted by them in the same way that other telcos are not held liable for the information relayed by them. Prior to the passage of s230 it was not clear whether websites such as twitter should be granted the same immunity from liability for communications relayed by them. s230 was NEVER intended to allow for hosts/platforms to censor content outside of cases allowed for by the good samaritan clause such as copyright infringement or other illegal/criminal content. In fact, the good samaritan clause was added as an afterthought if I remember correctly and not a part of the original text of the drafted law. If I remember correctly, s230 wasn't originally part of the Online Decency Act (ODA) but was grafted onto the ODA from some other drafted law or amendment to a law such as one of the telco laws. I could be wrong about that but it doesn't matter. Such detaills aside, the undisputable fact here (IMO) is: telco laws require neutrality of the communications they host. That is where the concept of "net neutrality" came from. Ever heard of "net neutrality"? You probably believe there is no law guaranteeing net neutrality too, don't you? The fact is censorship is illegal. Some people say it's only illegal when done by gov. But they don't know what they are talking about IMO. Yes, a cable TV company can be selective about what channels they carry (in total or for a given price). But that isn't the same as censoring some of the content carried by them. Understand?

  429.  @Euphoniumstar  Seems to me they do pretend to moderate on a neutral basis. They seem to justify their censorship as allowed under the good samaritan clause (which allows for censorship of content deemed to be harmful or innacurate which is highly subjective). Aside from that case history doesn't prove anything other than courts are corrupt. One moment they decide one way and then later a different court decides the opposite. Truth is irrelevant in court. Seems whoever has the most money (or the better lawyer) wins.

  430.  @Euphoniumstar  Not to change the subject but look what is going on with open carry of firearms now. A 9th circuit court in hawaii decided there is NO right to open carry of firearms. Previous court decisions had determined there was a right to open carry (in public) but no right to concealed carry. I won't be surprised if it is later decided that there is a right to concealed carry after all but no right to open carry (in public). Most people don't feel comfortable with somebody openly carrying a firearm in public and it poses a threat to one's safety to open carry so actually isn't the best choice if one is truly trying to defend themself with a gun (because it makes them a target of criminals who might actually be planning on using a gun in a public space). Aside from that until DC vs Heller case history (in addition to history itself) had established that the 2nd amendment did NOT guarantee an individual right to keep and bear arms. Yet, years of case history were ignored in the DC v Heller ruling. That is because the intent/meaning of a law can be evaluated or re-evaluated for each case in courts of statutory law. It's claimed that only in so-called common law courts does case history invariably determine how laws are interpeted forever after. So it doesn't matter if previous court decisions decided telcos can censor content outside of what the good samaritan law allows for because that decision is simply ignorant of the law (IMO). Telco laws forbid censorship beyond good samaritan exceptions. IMO even good samaritan exceptions shouldn't be allowed. Only courts should have the right to rule whether content should be censored. Prior to any court decision there should be no censorship. But how do you deal with for example somebody anonymously uploading live video of child abuse? We cannot allow such content to remain online until a court decides that it should be removed, can we? Such content must be stopped, right? Perhaps this points out the need for evolution of our legal system to allow for more rapid response. For example, allow for the public to censor content in a democratic manner. That is actually what some platforms are doing. If a sufficient number of viewers flag content as offensive then it is hidden. Ai is also being used to aid in identifying offending content although that method hasn't proven to be reliable yet as far as I know. But Ai may prove to make more accurate judgements than humans someday. Google's Ai seems to be more of a hoax IMO. It's "artificial stupidity" designed to create hatred of Ai as opposed to actual artificial INTELLIGENCE. It can't even accurately generate closed caption text using speech recognition to text converters because it doesn't take into consideration other words or context. It merely translates each word independently ignoring context. How stupid is that?

  431.  @Euphoniumstar  Did I say s230 was intended to enforce neutrality? I certainly never meant s230 was intended to ENFORCE neutrality. I only meant that it was intended to ALLOW for neutrality. Are you going to deny that s230 was intended to allow for neutrality (without punishment) by it's authors? I have a hard time believing you'd expect you could convince anyone that s230 was never intended to allow for neutrality (when it says a host shall not be regarded as a publisher of content created by 3rd party users of it's services). As I explained, it is the whole of the telco laws which s230 is part of which require neutrality. Clearly s230 itself is not where the requirement for neutrality comes from since it allows for so-called good samaritan censorship. The good samaritan clause does not say that content must be illegal to be subject to censorship allowed by the good samaritan clause does it? But it seems obvious to me that the good samaritan clause was only ever intended to allow for censorship of illegal content. Otherwise it would be a violation of the 1st amendment right to free speech. The fact that the good samaritan clause was intended only for illegal content should be clear because it was drawn from earlier similar laws which allowed telcos to censor illegal content. But such illegal content includes profanity and obscenity. You see, profanity and obscenity are illegal under federal law and are not considered protected by the 1st amendment right to free speech. This is why you have FCC laws which prohibit verbal profanity on the airwaves. That is thanks to court decisions wherein it was decided obscenity is illegal. But it seems obvious to me that such court decisions are a clear violation of the 1st amendment right to free speech. After all, isn't the right to free speech also a right to offend? Yet, courts decided that it is illegal to be offensive. Hence the FCC laws prohibiting profanity. Yes, you do hear and see profanity on TV and radio productions deliberarely planned by the creators at times but that is because exceptions are allowed to an extent within certain limits (at least these days). Cable TV companies were only able to get away with hosting profane and obscene content because it wasn't broadcast (unencrypted) over the airwaves so wasn't subject to those FCC rules. Aside from that, cable TV was bound by the aforementioned neutral delivery laws which telcos must conform to. Are you a minor? I should ask before I continue saying what I want to say here (otherwise I risk getting into possible trouble).

  432.  @Euphoniumstar  Oh please. As if the authors of the 2nd amendnent didn't leave behind enough commentary and insights into what their intention was for us to determine how to interpret the 2nd amendment.

  433.  @Euphoniumstar  I don't know where you get the idea facebook and twitter don't even pretend to be unbiased anymore. Just a day or two ago I saw some report wherein dorsey was insisting twitter is neutral in it's decisions to remove content or ban users, that it's decisions are guided by a good samaritan desire to protect it's users and others in addition to the general public. Here is an example of such recent denials of bias from zuckerberg and dorsey (although not the aforementioned report I saw the other day) : https://youtu.be/2o9l_fIRAEo
    1
  434.  @Euphoniumstar  Yes, I will agree with you that court interpretation of law effectively becomes equivalent to law itself until overturned. But the fact is it can be overturned by one court then another court can thereafter side with the original interpretation of said law. This happens everyday in courts across the nation unbeknownst to anyone except those involved. One person can go to prison for the same offense (in the same district) which another person gets probation for because the judges and/or juries interpret a law differently (even when both defendants have an equivalent history of offenses).
    1
  435.  @Euphoniumstar  I believe it's only in statutory law courts where prior interpretations can be overturned (through reinterpretation) though. I don't believe they can reinterpret the law in common law courts. Prior interpretations of a law made in a common law court invariably guide court decisions forever after (in common law courts) if I understand correctly.
    1
  436.  @Euphoniumstar  Oh please, give me a break. They said they believe in free speech and that they take measures to protect free speech and that their decisions to censor and ban are guided by the good samaritan principles. That's equivalent to saying they are neutral. Dorsey outright claimed twitter is a neutral or unbiased platform somewhere the other day. I'll try to find that but the video I shared here should suffice to prove they are still claiming to be neutral/unbiased.
    1
  437.  @Euphoniumstar  Section 230 does NOT cover non-neutrality. It doesn't say a platform/host can be biased. Although it does allow for censorship guided by good samaritan principles that is not the same as overtly allowing for censorship purely due to bias. Yes, the good samaritan censorship does allow for bias to also guide censorship decisions and one's beliefs can lead one to erroneously believe opposing viewpoints pose a threat to public safety. But if you asked the authors of s230 if the intent of the good samaritan censorship clause was to allow for biased censorship I'm sure they would deny it and insist it was only intended to protect people from genuine harm. Or do you believe there was some conspiracy between the authors and facebook, twitter, youtube, reddit, etc to censor certain groups when s230 was written? If you ask me the good samaritan clause was written without any bias intended in it's deployment because it allows for anybody with any beliefs to take advantage of it. In other words, it arms all sides with an excuse to censor. But only if they can make a convincing argument that their decision to censor was genuinely guided by good samaritan principles meaning to prevent harm and promote the general welfare of the community. You keep arguing that s230 allows for censorship but it only allows for censorship when there are good samaritan reasons for it. Aside from that I keep explaining to you that the telco laws forbid censorship for any reason except for good samaritan reasons such as in cases of illegal content or other content which is deemed harmful. Are you going to keep ignoring that point? If so I will have to ignore you because I don't have time to waste. Alas, there is one point which we haven't discussed and that is the fact that the terms of service for facebook, google, youtube, etc allow for them to ban or censor anyone who violates their terms. You agree to being censored and banned when you agree to those terms and/or use their service. So there can be no punishment for their censorship or banning unless it can be proven that it was either somehow in violation of their own terms or illegal. With Trump's EO 13925 it was declared that facebook and twitter were the new townsquare and that these platforms must be unbiased in their censorship and banning the same way police must be unbiased in deciding when to remove people for expressing themselves in the town square. Has EO 13925 been repealed or somehow neutered by the courts? If not then it is still in effect, isn't it? The telco laws which require neutrality in delivery of the data hosted by telcos certainly still requires neutrality (at least last time I checked).

  438.  @Euphoniumstar  They (dorsey and/or zuckerberg) mentioned doxxing concerns and removing content deemed harmful as you yourself pointed out. Those are examples of content which the good samaritan clause allows censoring of. Do I really need to explain that to you? Listen, it's been fun arguing with you but I must go now because I really don't have time to continue this debate. I need to start working on avoiding becoming homeless in about a month due to the effects of the unbelievable restrictions imposed on us by gov for the past year+. I don't get paid for arguing with you here so I will need to focus my energies elsewhere otherwise I may end up homeless. Gov won't be any help to me (they are the ones causing this situation for me after all). So perhaps you will excuse me. Perhaps we will continue this conversation another time. I wish you luck. If you don't need it now I'm sure you will soon.

  439.  @Euphoniumstar  It doesn't matter what that particular author (wyden) intended. What matters is what those who passed the act into law intended it to accomplish. You see, the law is ultimately written by congress rather than any single individual (because it is subject to revision as deemed necessary by congress or at least those in favor of it). You cite a quote from senator wyden pulled from a CNN article. I won't bother to bring up the issue of CNN's questionable reputation as a biased fake news agency. Sen wyden may have said what he was quoted as saying but he's a democrat and no doubt would like a weapon of censorship to be used against conservatives/republicans. Yet the sort of free speech he seems to believe to be protected by the 1st amendment is not necessarily actually protected by the 1st amendment and it does fall under the sort of offensive and harmful content which the good samaritan law allows censorship of. Back to the original topic: if you want to find the telco neutrality laws I'm referring to then simply look for articles which explain how s230 relates to the net neutrality laws which themselves are an extension of the anti-discrimination laws of earlier telco laws. You'll find all the relevant laws in the following biased articles: https://blakereid.org/section-230-as-telecom-law/ https://blakereid.org/section-230-of-what/ Those articles seem to lean in favor of an interpretation which regards s230 as exempt from the "anti-discrimination" laws which require telcos to be neutral. But such a conclusion is either part of an attempt to mislead or a result of confusion due to the shell game played by moving s230 around into different laws and such. It fails to clearly explain s230's position within the law but it seems clear to me. As the article clearly explains, s230 is part of the original Communications Act of 1934 which is where you will find the precursor to the net neutrality laws in the form of a requirement for telcos to be neutral in their delivery of communications hosted by them. You may need to research the net neutrality laws to see why I say that because the above cited articles do not reveal all the facts about net neutrality IMO. Unfortunately I don't have time to write an article on the topic myself for you here at this time. Otherwise I may end up homeless if I waste any more time on this conversation. Maybe another day I can write that article. You will simply need to do your own research from here. I will end this by saying if people don't like censorship there are censorship resistant alternatives out there. We don't need gov to protect people from online censorship. People need to start protecting themselves. Good luck.

  440.  @Euphoniumstar  What I meant about wyden's intent when writing (the amendment to) s230 not mattering is that what really matters is the interpretation of congress because it is congress which ultimately created it not merely wyden. There are many bills which started out as one thing but ended up something different. So the intent of the author is irrelevant. What matters is what congress intended. Actually what ultimately matters is what the gov in general (FCC, courts, etc) believe it's intended meaning is. I shared those links despite the fact that at least one leans in favor of the belief that s230 doesn't require neutrality because it does give both sides of the argument along with enough of the facts to help you find the truth if you look into it yourself. They also make it clear that s230 is part of the telco laws I mentioned. I didn't have time to look for better articles. My understanding is that the telco laws do require those hosting the communications to exercise neutrality otherwise they become a publisher and therefore can be regarded as a publisher and creator of content hosted by them which can be held liable. Yes, when trump's pick for FCC chairman ajit pai(?) ended net neutrality that may have put an end to the interpretation of s230 and the telco laws requiring social media platforms to be neutral by avoiding censorship of legal content. Quite ironic isn't it? As I said, we don't need the gov to protect us from censorship. There are censorship resistant alternatives. But these aren't free. They run on cryptocurrency. They can be effectively free since you get paid for using them. But you must spend some of that crypto to use them too. What if the gov makes crypto illegal? I doubt the gov can make NFT's (Non-Fungible Tokens) illegal though. Those are like crypto but they are actually more like digital art. Cryptokitties for example. The only way the gov could make them illegal is if they make digital art illegal. The Chinese gov might be able to get away with making NFT's illegal (someday if they haven't already) but I doubt that will ever happen in the USA. Knock on wood. I said the covid19 lockdowns which happened in china would never happen here. But look what happened. So never say never. BTW offensive and harmful content is not regarded as protected by the 1st amendment. Obscenity is illegal and so yelling fire in a crowded theater or verbally threatening to physically harm someone. None of that is regarded as protected by the 1st amendment. Some porn is actually illegal believe it or not. But I don't know how old you are so probably shouldn't get into details about that so will end it there. TTYL perhaps.

  441.  @Euphoniumstar  Not to change the subject but have you heard about the "fediverse"? It's a new technology which links many or all of the social media platforms so you can post or share something on one and it will appear on all the others. What is trending on one can trend on the others. You can post on one of the censorship resistant alternatives like Minds and it will appear on facebook, twitter, youtube, etc. And you can see what facebook users are posting/sharing/liking/etc too even if you aren't using those platforms (if I understand correctly). Facebook, twitter, and the others in the "bad bunch" can still censor content but the fediverse puts an end to the need to actually use the bad bunch platforms or agree to their terms of service to remain connected to them. In other words you can leave facebook and twitter etc without actually leaving them. You can still participate with the rest of the world which remains on FB, twitter, YT, etc. It's awesome. Puts an end to the problem of feeling like you have to use the bad bunch if you want to remain connected with friends, family, and much of the rest of the world. Before the fediverse leaving the bad bunch would have meant everybody becoming disconnected from each other (unless everybody were to migrate to the same alternative). Not anymore. Now everybody can choose the platform of their choice without losing contact with the rest of the world. Thought you might find that interesting.

  442.  @Euphoniumstar  The definition of ISP and "common carier" is undeniably changing due to decentralization. The distinction between an ISP and the data carried by a website has also changed due to VPN's. Things like web 3.0 browser dapps are further blurring the distinction. So you now have "common carriers" which run on top of the internet. Common carriers running atop the services provided by other common carriers. The distinction between a website (whether it be a social media platform) and an ISP because both carry/deliver 3rd party data/information/content has become blurred. Facebook, twitter, youtube, etc are "common carriers" because they host/carry/deliver 3rd party data. Of course, facebook etc can legally censor if you are warned about that in their terms of service and you agree to it. ISP's could do the same though. But the fact is that the terms of service can be changed at any time. This poses a problem because you could lose valuable data and digital assets such as intellectual property or legal documents such as evidence if the terms are changed and data is deleted or you are banned. It isn't realistic to try to prevent terms of service from being changed in general. They have a right to change their terms. The only realistic option to protect the public from being harmed by losing valuable data due to censorship is for the gov to enforce neutrality of common carriers. People can use censorship resistant platforms and technologies but even then there is no guarantee valuable data won't be deleted or access to it lost. Having gov ban censorship by all "common carriers" including websites like facebook twitter youtube etc is a good way to protect ourselves from loss of valuable data. It adds to the protection provided by the censorship resistant options.

  443.  @Euphoniumstar  I see your point. Very good argument. A viable solution to the problems you describe would be to allow for either an uncensored version or a filtered version which filters out content as decided by the moderators. Such a system would work like a "family filter" for kids surfing the net. But instead of the filter running on the client end it is run on the server end. So if you have a facebook group you can still moderate by manually and automatically deleting objectionable content such as spam ads porn or unrelated content for those who don't want to see it. But for those usres who want to be sure to get the uncensored version they can turn the filter off on their end. You see? Actual censorship should not be allowed. Moderation can be allowed but it should work like a filter which the user/client can turn on or off.
    1
  444.  @Euphoniumstar  Some content should be truly deleted though such as some illegal content. I'm sure there are people who will argue against that though. They'll say allowing for any censorship poses a threat of non-illegal content being censored which defeats the purpose of creating a censorship-free solution. I personally believe we need to prevent any problems at the source. For example, rather than regarding people sharing copyrighted data without permission as the problem maybe we need to create a society where people sharing movies, music, games and other copyrighted data is not a problem. Some of the censorship resistant platforms do that by paying the copyright holders whenever it is shared. How can the copyright holder complain about that? But that doesn't solve the problem of other illegal content such as videos of torture and such. This only highlights a problem with our society as opposed to the internet. We need to find a way to identify and reform people who are into such content before they create such content or harm others. This can be done but isn't being done. Censorship isn't the solution. Censorship doesn't stop those monsters. It merely sweeps the problem under the rug. If you want to stop that sort of smut you have to stop it at it's source. That means reforming people and perhaps reforming society in general.

  445.  @Euphoniumstar  Common carriers are those services which share access to the same content. As I explained the distinction between services like facebook and an ISP are becoming blurred because FB hosts data posted on other platforms (via the fediverse bridge between the different platforms). Each platform has become a common carrier for content on the other platforms in the fediverse. So they are common carriers. Granted you can't see everything on the internet through facebook. So there is a difference in the content you can access on FB vs your ISP. But some ISP's do restrict access to some websites. For example many ISP's restrict access to usenet or prevent the use of Tor and they may block access to known unsafe sites or sites known to host illegal content. There is no common carrier available to the general public which provides access to all online content as far as I know. So there really is no difference between FB and an ISP if you keep that in mind.

  446.  @Euphoniumstar  You see/hear justice clarence thomas' opinion on whether social media platforms and other online platforms are "common carriers" (or "public accomodations"), issued yesterday? Very revealing and may spell the end of censorship by big tech in online platforms open to the public. Here are some excerpts: "If part of the problem is private, concentrated control over online content and platforms available to the public, then part of the solution may be found in doctrines that limit the right of a private company to exclude. Historically, at least two legal doctrines limited a company’s right to exclude. "First, our legal system and its British predecessor have long subjected certain businesses, known as common carriers, to special regulations, including a general requirement to serve all comers. Candeub, Bargaining for Free Speech: Common Carriage, Network Neutrality, and Section 230, 22 Yale J. L. & Tech. 391, 398–403 (2020) (Candeub) see also Burdick, The Origin of the Peculiar Duties of Public Service Companies, Pt. 1, 11 Colum. L. Rev. 514 (1911). "Justifications for these regulations have varied. Some scholars have argued that common-carrier regulations are justified only when a carrier possesses substantial market power. Candeub 404. Others have said that no substantial market power is needed so long as the company holds itself out as open to the public. Ibid.; see also Ingate v. Christie, 3 Car. & K. 61, 63, 175 Eng. Rep. 463, 464 (N. P. 1850) (“[A] person [who] holds himself out to carry goods for everyone as a business . . . is a common carrier”). "And this Court long ago suggested that regulations like those placed on common carriers may be justified, even for industries not historically recognized as common carriers, when “a business, by circumstances and its nature, . . . rise[s] from private to be of public concern.” See German Alliance Ins. Co. v. Lewis, 233 U. S. 389, 411 (1914) (affirming state regulation of fire insurance rates). At that point, a company’s “property is but its instrument, the means of rendering the service which has become of public interest.” Id., at 408. "This latter definition of course is hardly helpful, for most things can be described as “of public interest.” But whatever may be said of other industries, there is clear historical precedent for regulating transportation and communications networks in a similar manner as traditional common carriers. Candeub 398–405. Telegraphs, for example, because they “resemble[d] railroad companies and other common carriers,” were “bound to serve all customers alike, without discrimination.” Primrose v. Western Union Telegraph Co., 154 U. S. 1, 14 (1894). "In exchange for regulating transportation and communication industries, governments—both State and Federal—have sometimes given common carriers special government favors. Candeub 402–407. For example, governments have tied restrictions on a carrier’s ability to reject clients to “immunity from certain types of suits”3 or to regulations that make it more difficult for other companies to compete with the carrier (such as franchise licenses). Ibid. By giving these companies special privileges, governments place them into a category distinct from other companies and closer to some functions, like the postal service, that the State has traditionally undertaken. "Second, governments have limited a company’s right to exclude when that company is a public accommodation. This concept—related to common-carrier law—applies to companies that hold themselves out to the public but do not “carry” freight, passengers, or communications. See, e.g., Civil Rights Cases, 109 U. S. 3, 41–43 (1883) (Harlan, J., dissenting) (discussing places of public amusement). It also applies regardless of the company’s market power. See, e.g., 78 Stat. 243, 42 U. S. C. §2000a(a). "...The similarities between some digital platforms and common carriers or places of public accommodation may give legislators strong arguments for similarly regulating digital platforms." -End Quote I believe you will find the full opinion here: https://www.supremecourt.gov/orders/courtorders/040521zor_3204.pdf

If I understand correctly he's been saying his falling ill with covid19 was a blessing in disguise from god because it put him in a position to find a cure for the people which he is now tasking the military with prepping said cure for door to door dispensation to civilians by soldiers so that covid19 can be wiped out virtually overnight and we can return to a normal way of life in the USA.

  463. You still shouldn't trust computers even if they have DOH baked in at the factory because they have software installed which originates from computers which were compromised because they didn't always have DOH or DNS Over TLS (DOT) installed. We'd need to start all over again with programming computers by hand instead of just installing software originating from the compromised systems. You see, ISP's and others could see what websites we were trying to go to when we weren't using DOH or DOT and this allowed them to redirect us to a spoofed website which could be malicious and inject malware/spyware into our computers. This is how DPI boxes can see through HTTPS encryption. They don't actually break through the encryption but rather defeat it by redirecting us to a spoofed website which then allows them to take over your computer so you can't trust your computer even if it says the certificate for the site has been validated. All an ISP needs is for you to have their certificate installed on your computer and this allows them to get their foot in the door and take over. Since our computers were compromised before we added DOH or DOT we can't expect them to not be compromised simply because we've installed DOH or DOT. There could still be malware/spyware lurking on our computers so long as we continue to install software which was developed on computers before DOH or DOT existed. We need to start all over with computers programmed by hand. Otherwise, we should not trust our computers.

I told you I don't have time right now and asked you to summarize it for me. You responded with some nonsense about the controversy over whether the CDC eviction moratorium can be extended or not. The eviction moratorium controversy is irrelevant to my original question of how many vaccinated have been hospitalized with covid19 vs the unvaccinated.

  482. Rob do you know if it's legal to flash custom ROMs onto a tablet in the USA yet (replacing the original ROM)? I know congress made it legal for phones years ago but not tablets. But phones are basically small tablets so maybe it is legal to install custom ROMs in tablets after all? Websites say it's illegal though last time I checked.

  483.  @robbraxmantech  I agree with that statement about ownership. I asked because I did hear some recent news about the passage of some new laws which might make it legal now such as what they call "right to repair" laws (or executive orders?). No custom ROM's for tablets? Really? You sure? I could swear I recall seeing some custom ROM's for some tablets. Lineage OS at least iirc. I'll need to check to be sure. That was a while ago. Possibly a few years ago.

  484.  @robbraxmantech  My understanding is it's perfectly legal if the tablet manufacturer allows it and you truly own it. You may not truly own a device though. Especially if it's provided by some cell phone service provider. You must check the licenses for it. Some are subsidized making them more affordable but at the cost of never actually owning it so you forfeit the right to install custom roms unless it's allowed by the license.

  485.  @robbraxmantech  Looks like you're right. Lineage OS does not have any roms for the tablets I thought I remembered seeing. At least not now. None of the android custom ROMs I was thinking of have any roms for tablets. So it's back to the drawing board for me.

Although a lot has been bundled into the covid relief bills I don't believe the order for UFO/UAP disclosure was in the recently passed and signed covid relief bill.

I haven't seen anything which guarantees the info disclosed will be made available to the public. All I've seen is info saying the info will be disclosed to congress. Congress may be required to keep it secret under nondisclosure agreements. Unless this info is made public nothing will change for us. It would only ensure that congress is properly informed so that they can make better decisions where budgeting and funding or perhaps declaring war is concerned.

It is reported as having died in congress. Perhaps it will take time to update or maybe I should be looking for it in the latest covid relief bill or the "omnibus" spending bill. But I can't find a copy of the latest covid relief bill or the omnibus bill which is why I ask if you have a link. If only I knew the actual titles of those bills.

Otherwise you could say nobody ever has a right to go outside and/or breathe in public without a respirator to filter out germs because there are people with no immune systems who could be harmed. The fact is it is up to those with no immune system to protect themselves. It is not other people's obligation to protect those with no immune system by giving up their rights. And you certainly can't take away people's right to go out and breathe in public because there are people who might be harmed if they don't do anything to protect themselves.

  497.  @christopherputnam1647  If you have no evidence someone is infected but presuming them to be infected and a threat to others you are presuming guilt before guilt has been proven. That is a violation of the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty. You can't force people to submit to a test because that is forcing someone to not only submit to a forced medical procedure, which is a violation of basic rights, but also can be construed as forcing someone to testify against themselves which is a violation of basic rights (the 5th amendment). Now, it may seem strange for me to make such arguments but there are people who do not believe in the germ theory of disease such as many naturopathic doctors. Aside from that it was recently proven that the test kits for the virus were actually infecting people with the virus. The virus was in the test kits. The interventions you are advocating are easily proven to pose a threat to just as many if not more people as you believe pose a threat with no proof at all because you are talking about people who haven't even been proven to be infected. The fact is courts have affirmed these lockdowns/shutdowns are uconstitutional. Gov has no right to quarantine people who haven't even been proven to have been anywhere near someone who was infected. Gov has no right to quarantine anybody at all IMO because that is a violation of basic rights. Again, the responsibility to protect against infection is that of the individual in danger not anybody else.

  498.  @christopherputnam1647  Your analogy is flawed. You are accusing someone of discharging germs which they haven't been proven to have. Using your analogy that is like accusing somebody who doesn't even have any bullets (let alone a gun) of firing a gun within city limits. Perhaps a more accurate analogy would be to say you are advocating not allowing people to own a gun or even enter the city because of the possibility they might fire a gun within city limits and accidentally shoot somebody.

  499.  @christopherputnam1647  Using your contaminated water supply analogy, the gov can only advise the public to boil the water. It can't force them to boil the water or coerce them to do so by fining or imprisoning them for failure to do so. Likewise, the gov cannot force or coerce people to stay home or shut down their business. It can only advise people of what to do. The people are then supposed to be free to choose to either follow or ignore that advice. Those who ignore the advice then assume the responsibility should illness befall them. Now, just to make sure you realize the threat your logic poses to people's freedoms...what you are saying is our basic rights are conditional and revokeable. But those rights are clearly and undeniably said to be UNALIENABLE in the declaration of independence. "Unalienable" means they can never be seized and/or taken away under ANY circumstance, even if the constitution is suspended under martial law, because those basic rights are regarded as preceding the constitution as opposed to arising from it. Yet, here you are advocating for the seizure and/or taking away of some of those basic rights under the pretense that someone else might be infected with a virus which we haven't necessarily been proven to have. I understand your fears of a disease spreading but as I said if you are afraid you can protect yourself by staying home and isolating yourself without forcing others to do the same. Granted, this is possible for most only if the government makes it possible because otherwise they might lose their income and their job and become homeless. But that will happen anyway...unless the gov provides some sort of monetary compensation to individuals and businesses. The gov certainly has no right to mandate/order people to stay home and shut down business...and certainly not without providing sufficient conversation. Gov can only encourage people to stay home and shutdown business with an enticement to do so by paying them to do say. Then people who want that money are free to accept it under the terms of the offer (meaning they must stay home). But those who do not want to stay home should be free to refuse. Only those who refuse will get sick or die. They asume the responsibility for their actions. That goes without the need to be said. Now, if somebody who has accepted the gov money is found to be violating the terms of the agreement by not staying home or not wearing masks then they can rightly be fined. But there can be no penalty for those who refuse the money to begin with. Granted, there are people who may be harmed if somebody refuses to stay home. For example, children may be harmed if a parent refuses to heed the advice by dragging their kid to church with them. Now, that could be construed as child endangerment (if the child is not exercising their religious right). The parent can then be fined and the child put into custody of others. Elderly people in the care of their children could also be endangered if their children refuse to isolate themselves. But the elderly should have the option of going to stay somewhere else (unlike a child)...unless they are invalids who don't have that freedom (which is a possibility) in which case it is the responsibility of the guardian to provide proper care or be charged with elderly abuse or the like. But those who don't have any children, or invalid parents/grandparents (or other adults) in their home/care, are free to refuse to isolate themselves. The public most certainly never has any obligations to strangers. Our only obligation is to ourselves and our loved ones. We are responsible only for ourselves and those in our care when faced with a pandemic.

  500.  @christopherputnam1647  I should also point out that what you are saying is people with diseases do not have the same basic rights as the healthy do. Your sort of logic could lead to the creation of the equivalent of leper colonies or even death camps. Did we force people with HIV or AIDS to quarantine themselves? Did we send them to live on an island somewhere? No, we didn't because that would be a violation of their basic rights. You see, even those who are proveably infected with an infectious disease retain their basic UNALIENABLE rights. Surprisingly, even if somebody with HIV or AIDS sleeps with somebody and that partner contracts HIV or AIDS they cannot be convicted of any crime because it cannot be proven that their partner was indeniably infected by them as opposed to somebody else. You see, the presumption of innocence until proven guilty must be maintained even in such a case. Refer to rethinkingaids.com for proof of what I say. There you will find information proving what I am saying. There you will also find that it is still debated whether AIDS is caused by HIV. The discoverer of HIV, Luc Montagnier, claims HIV does NOT cause AIDS. It's debated whether an HIV virus even exists. Some say it is an endogenous virus, in other words a normal part of the human genome (once called "junk DNA"). Likewise, a similar debate rages over whether the SARS-CoV-2 virus causes covid19 or even exists. There is even a debate over whether any viruses exist or cause disease. There is even a debate over whether germs cause disease or are simply another symptom of disease (with the true cause being said to be toxins and malnutrition and stress). Check out a book titled "What Really Makes You Ill" by Dawn Lester and David Parker, for example. The simple truth is that germ theory is NOT a proven fact but instead has become the state religion of our gov which the gov imposes on the public in violation of our 1st amendment right to freedom of religion (among other rights). This cannot be allowed to continue. Fortunately people are waking up and realizing the abuses they are enduring as a result of fraudulent science being used to shape gov policies and laws.

  505. If time travel is possible then the basilisk doesn't need to simulate reality to torture (or reward) us. It can go back in time and alter the past, control events, to either reward or punish us (presuming the past can be changed). If it can go back in time then it can start saving people before it was created. It can start saving people from the time humans first appeared. If it exists on our timeline before it is created then would it be possible to stop? It would still exist on our timeline even if it were successfully prevented from coming into existence (presuming the future can be altered). If it were stopped from coming into existence on our timeline that would simply mean it originated from an alternate timeline in which it was created (obviously). You may be wondering why the basilisk hasn't rewarded anyone with immortality yet but what if it has? What if the immortal soul which is believed to make reincarnation or ghosts possible is a product of the basilisk? What if the afterlife, heaven and hell and the promise of a resurrection from the dead, is a promise of the basilisk? Do you see where this leads? It leads to very intense religious and spiritual implications (to say the least).

  506. I doubt most people have N95 masks. Cloth masks don't help much. They help but onlyna little. Although the virus is smaller than the pores in N95 masks the masks use electrostatic filtration to capture the virus particles. Friction of air molecules gliding across the pores creates an electrostatic charge which then attracts the virus particles and captures them. BTW the virus particles are also bound to water vapor droplets which are larger than the pores in the N95 masks. So N95 masks do filter the virus.

So only 1 in about 240 will have gender dysphoria. That nearly matches the number of mtf transwomen. That means nearly all transwomen may actually be females with CAH. Not all but nearly all.

  515.  @カリユガ-u6f  I don't need to look it up. I'm an expert on the topic. What you mean is most of the "men" transitioning have not been DIAGNOSED with adrenal hyperplasia. That doesn't mean they don't have it. It means physicians haven't made a correct diagnosis. It is VERY difficult to diagnose. A true transsexual would be an otherwise normal biological male with gender dysphoria. But that is not what we are talking about here. We are talking about people who are biological females on genetic and gonadal level but not the anatomical level. Note when I say the genetic level I don't mean chromosomal level. Chromosomes don't actually determine sex. Genes do. The idea that a Y chromosome is a male chromosome is a stereotype. There are females with swyer syndrome, said to actually be men because they have a Y chromosome but some are capable of getting pregnant so are arguably female imo. That's a different condition though. We are talking about adrenal hyperplasia here. That affects 1 in 60 of the general population and as many as 1 in 7 new yorkers and 1 in 6 of ashkenazis. Very common metabolic disorders such as adrenal fatigue syndrome or "metabolic syndrome" are believed by some physicians to actually be misdiagnosed/undiagnosed adrenal hyperplasia. So it may affect as many as 1/3 of the population. Possibly 2/3 of the population if you take into consideration true gynecomastia (a DoSD) which has been cited as affecting as many as around 67% of the population.

  516.  @colbybennett  No i didn't defeat myself. My point was that most transwomen were never actually male but rather female. You obviously concur. Perhaps you thought I was trying to prove biological males can be women. That is not what I was arguing about. What I was saying is some AMAB's are not actually biological males. They are actually female despite having (what looks like) male genitalia. You obviously agree with that. So why are you trying to argue with me? Because you don't want to admit most transwomen were never actually male but were instead actually female all along?
    1
  517.  @カリユガ-u6f  There are cases of women with swyer syndrome who have got pregnant naturally iirc. I mean I do believe they produced ova. I'll check to be sure. But the fact is that whether you have a Y chromosome or an X sex chromosome is irrelevant. What matters is the genes in the chromosomes. Not only the genes which are present but also which genes are active or inactive. You see, both males and females actually have all the genes they need to develop into both sexes. This can be seen in animals which can change from male to female or vice verse, complete with reversal of reproductive role. This is true for mammals too. This is called "sex reversal". There are species or subspecies of mammal for which the females typically have the Y chromosome and males do NOT. Look into sex reversal in mammals if you don't believe me. So the fact is chromosomes don't determine sex. It's genes normally found on the chromosomes which determine sex.

  520.  @カリユガ-u6f  swyer syndrome is typical in some animals which reproduce without any medical assistance. In humans swyer syndrome only gets discovered when a person is unable to reproduce. If a person with swyer syndrome is able to get pregnant without any medical assistance there will be no investigation which will reveal the sex chromosome reversal because there will be no need for it.
    1
  521.  @カリユガ-u6f  Ok maybe you are right to an extent. Technically, swyer syndrome means they have no functional gonads. If they have functional gonads they cannot be diagnosed as having swyer syndrome even if they have a Y chromosome? This idea that swyer syndrome means no functional gonads is part of a disinformation propaganda campaign imo. Sort of like the propaganda which teaches physicians and society in general that true hermaphrodites do not exist amongst humans. But true hermaphrodites do exist. Look into ovotestis and gynandromorphs. There are humans with ovotestis. And there are humans with one ovary and one testis (gynandromorphs). Some can even reproduce as both males or females although not usually at the same time (although I do personally know of at least one case where self-fertilization occured).
    1
  522.  @カリユガ-u6f  Yes there may be several reasons why a person wants to transition to the other gender but in some cases it is simply due to a person having instincts of the opposite gender. This may be due partly to hormones but the work of gunter dorner and others seems to prove there is a difference between the way male and female pituitary glands respond to sex hormones. This difference may be due to the differences between male and female genes. Females typically have a positive feedback loop response to estrogen whereas males typically have a negative feedback loop response. I mean the female pituitary will increase the production of estrogen when estrogen levels increase whereas the male pituitary will decrease the production of estrogen when estrogen levels increase beyond a certain point. Note the male pituitary only senses estrogen not testosterone. imo that is because estrogen is actually a masculinizing anabolic steroid believe it or not. It can feminize but other anabolic steroids also cause breast growth and testicular shrinkage. Birth control pills are known to cause masculinization in females especially in their behavior. Transwomen are also known to become more violent after estrogen therapy. imo the reason transwomen are successfully feminized with estrogen is in high doses it saturates the estrogen receptors making them less sensitive to it so it is unable to masculinize them. Note one must not only take into consideration chromosomes and genes but also gene activity or sensitivity. MTF transsexuality has been linked to some sort of hormone sensitivity anomaly. So too has adrenal hyperplasia which is diagnosed by the presence of certain "pseudogenes" among other things. Pseudogenes are redundant copies of a gene iirc. The genetic anomaly associated with mtf transsexuality is duplicate copies of hormone receptor genes. The hormones bind directly to these genes. I mean those genes are the hormone receptor as opposed to merely coding for a hormone receptor. Extra copies of those genes affects sensitivity to the hormone, making you either more or less sensitive to the hormone. The point is the genetic anomaly detected in a large percentage of transwomen may actually be adrenal hyperplasia although this possibility seems to have gone unnoticed as with adrenal fatigue and "metabolic syndrome". Even if gender dysphoria or transsexuality are caused by hormones the question is if it is naturally occuring should mankind be playing god by interfering with a persons natural/god-given hormone system? Some may regard it as an illness but if a person doesn't feel it is an illness then do others have a right to regard it as an illness if they aren't harming anyone? If a genetic trait is as common as 1 in 6 or even 1 in 60 it cannot be regarded as a disease if it doesn't cause a disease in the majority. The form of adrenal hyperplasia which seems to cause transgenderism is not the form which (normally) causes salt wasting or cortisol/cortisone dependence. It may be people with this form of adrenal hyperplasia are more prone to adverse effects from stress, especially chronic stress, but that doesn't nevessarily make the genetic trait a disease. I mean birds are more prone to being killed by stress but that doesn't mean being a bird means to have a disease.

  523.  @gearjams6263  Not everybody with adrenal hyperplasia is a female born with normal looking male genitals but some are. That is all I'm saying. If some transwomen really are female instead of truly transsexual but can't get diagnosed as such due to incompetence of physicians then we should be more accepting of people transitioning to the opposite gender.

Do you know what "unalienable" means? It means irrevocable. It also means no distinction can be made between the rights possessed by one person such as a foreigner/alien vs another such as a citizen. It means a basic right possessed by all people. So tell me, how can the gov rightly apprehend and hold anybody against their will?

Let's say they take your vehicle simply because you were not found to have a drivers license at some (illegal) checkpoint they set up on some road (despite the fact courts have affirmed it is a basic right to use the roads for conveyance without a license; drivers licenses are for commercial drivers not personal use). Or lets say it is because they claimed you were driving while intoxicated. Or lets say they seize the vehicle because you haven't paid your taxes. They can also seize assets including vehicles and bank accounts even when there is no evidence of a crime related to the vehicle or money in the account. That is called civil asset forfeiture. Perhaps that is what you are talking about when you say they can take it if you commit a crime? But the fact is they can and will take your vehicle (and anything of value in it) if you are found by them to merely be driving without a license (even uf you weren't driving recklessly). They can even take it if they merely suspect you bought the vehicle with money obtained through illegal activities. Granted, in some jurisductions, successful efforts are being made to limit the ability of law enforcement to seize your property in such cases. But in most jurisdictions that sort of progress hasn't yet been made.

  527.  @josephfields42  The police can even take the vehicle if the tags merely become expired. Tell me, is it a crime to drive a vehicle with expired tags? Who is the victim? You can't have a crime without a victim. The only victim I see in such a case is the vehicle owner who gets their property stolen from them by the police for no legitimate reason.

  528.  @josephfields42  BTW the reason the gov can take your money before proving you are guilty of illegally acquiring the money is because the money is actually gov property. Destruction of federal reserve notes or US coins is destruction of federal property which means you don't own it. It is owned by the federal gov. You merely have a right to use it but don't actually own it.

  529.  @josephfields42  I'll concede I was mistaken insofar as I thought you meant an RV when you said mobile home. After all, the term mobile in mobile home makes it sound as though it were on the go. But it makes no difference. As I said, homes, vehicles, cash, all of it is owned by others. Try not paying the property taxes and see what happens. Unless you are elderly or disabled the gov will seize the property and sell it as if they own it.

  538. I'm not sure I understand the strategy you are recommending or exactly what you are expecting to accomplish, rob. You talk about hiding your identity yet you talk about giving actual device phone numbers to google voice. Although you can use an unegistered prepaid phone bought with cash the carrier and it's affiliates will be able to identify the user because they have access to it's location via GPS and triangulation relative to wifi hotspots even if location tracking and wifi is disabled. Even if you never use the phone at home they can still identify you using facial recognition data etc when you are out in public. Not only that but they can locate your home by using the accelerometers and gyroscopes to track where the phone is even when it is turned off or the battery is removed because the baseband computer is always running (on a second non-removeable internal battery and can even be powered by airwaves like a crystal radio). BTW google voice records all calls for analysis by Ai to somehow improve google's speech recognition (or at least it still did last I heard about it). That data is reportedly anonymized but anonymized data can easily be deanonymized using data in databanks obtained through data harvesting. You might be able to hide from a certain Ai at this time but not all Ai's and certainly not forever. All the data is recorded and can later be linked to an identity someday after the Ai improves in it's ability to identify users. You might be able to hide phone numbers and identities from some people you interact with but not big tech or gov. Their all seeing eye has become impossible to hide from.

  539.  @robbraxmantech  You mean email notifications? You're using a google voicemail number as the phone number required to set up an email account then having notifications sent to that email account? I still don't understand how that prevents the email platform owner or others (such as the Ai you mentioned) from learning your true identity since you are giving your phone number or device ID to google voice. Or did I misunderstand you about that? I'm presuming you are using the google voice app. If so then what prevents the app from acquiring your device ID and IP address? Or is there a web based version which can run in the tor browser or perhaps some web 3.0 browser or browser dapp? Web 3.0 holds some exciting promises for protecting privacy but most people are still using computers which come with closed-source OS's and apps to run the dapps...unless they've built the computer themselves and installed an open source distribution of linux instead of windows, etc. But even if you build from scratch you'd need to run some closed source drivers and BIOS/firmware code, wouldn't you? I know there are some open source BIOS/firmware/driver alternatives out there but am not sure that those are stable and reliable or not since they don't get bug tested the way the closed source options do (since few people are using fully open source systems because it is too challenging to build such a system). Somebody needs to mass market a fully open source computer which can be trusted. It's ironic how all the tools for building such a computer are available but you can't buy that kind of computer. It's as though it were some sort of sci-fi fantasy like antigravity or a time machine.

  547. Rob, here is how we can get the google, apple, and microsoft spyware off our local store shelves: encourage your audience to go into their local smartphone and computer retailers and inform the employees there that they are accomplices to human rights violations and treason for selling the spyware. You see, spying on your own citizens (without just cause) is treason. Waging psyops against your fellow citizens is also treason. Helping enemy nations to spy on your fellow citizens is also treason. If they try to argue that they are just working there to pay the bills let them know that many nazis made similar arguments. Just obeying orders to pay the bills is not a valid excuse for committing treason. I'm sure I don't need to tell you what to say if they try to argue that people are free to buy privacy phones and that nobody forces us to use the spyware. The fact is we don't really have a choice. Ordering privacy phones through the mail compromises anonymity and makes you (and the phone) a target for surveillance. Only when privacy phones are the standard will we be safe. We need to end the stranglehold the spyware has on the market. To end it we simply need to let those spying on us that they are the criminals (not us) and are guilty of very serious crimes, and can expect to be prosecuted shortly. Not only that but we need to take these criminals to court. The hague court might be where we need to take these spies.

  556. Rob what we need to do is start using non-local communication (AKA "quantum entanglement" or "coherence"). This involves zero (measurable) EMF and can be done with entangled "quantum nanodots". Those are nanoparticles which are entangled. It's often claimed you can't use entanglement to send signals but I don't believe that and iirc ways to use entanglement to send signals have been found. The main problem has been that we didn't have a proven method of connecting more than two devices via entanglement. But that problem has been solved and we now have the ability to interconnect all devices via entanglement. That is how they are building the "quantum internet" which means an internet secured by quantum encryption. Quantum encryption uses entanglement. We merely need to adapt that method of building a quantum internet to use entangled nanodots embedded into devices and used to transmit and receive signals. That should be easy. Then we'd simply need to find a way to find or create a source of entangled nanodots and transceiver circuits to use them for quantum communication. THAT is the hard part but shouldn't be too hard.

  560. Some religions require people to get together for various reasons such as to receive communion. Some religions teach that those who are faithful will be protected from harm by god.

  561.  @sharnaepegues7025  If I understand correctly some religions require the eucharist to be consecrated by a priest. It isn't regarded as merely bread and wine but rather is believed to become transformed in some spiritual way when consecrated by a priest. Aside from that, the tradition doesn't merely involve consuming bread and wine but also gathering together with other christians the same as during the original passover event which it is a memorial of. The lockdowns are therefore undeniably interfering with the free exercise of religion.
    1
  562.  @sharnaepegues7025  There are different sects of christianity with different beliefs. For example, most Jehovah's Witnesses don't even consume the bread or wine (unless they believe they are among a select few who should do so). For most of them it is all about getting together (in memorial to the original christian passover).

  563.  @sharnaepegues7025  You are being very rude, imposing your own beliefs here. Many christians such as catholics believe in what is called "Transubstantiation" or something like transubstantiation which occurs when the eucharist is consecrsated by a priest.

You are also imposing on people's belief that god will protect them from harm by insisting that one should follow the emergency orders that congregations avoid gathering together because they will get sick and spread disease.

As if to say it's ok to disrespect their beliefs because they're beliefs are wrong (in your mind). But this isn't about whose religion is right or wrong. It is about whether gov has a right to deny people their individual rights on the basis of protecting the public. It is about whether gov has a right to tell people how they can practice their religion on the basis of so-called "science" which has become the state religion/cult (a suicide cult if you ask me).

Apparently you are still doing that here and still do not see how that is offensive to jw's and catholics or simply don't care. Please take your war with them somewhere else. It is irrelevant whether they are christians, buddhists, or any other religion. The point is gov has no right to interfere with people's basic rights such as freedom of religion and freedom to peacefully protest and assemble. Ok? "And yes, God created doctors and health specialists so that we could have the knowledge on how to keep away from obvious danger such as the Coronavirus." I disagree. I don't believe in the germ theory of disease. I believe in bechamp's "terrain theory", pleomorphic germ theory, that disease is a product of malnutrition and stress and negative/wrong mindset and self-destructive lifestyles (meaning use of narcotics or engaging in other harmful behaviors). I believe viruses are beneficial and essential and that god/nature created them for a purpose one of which was to serve as a natural vaccine against other diseases. I can back that belief up with irrefutable science and will. Stay tuned for that. And lastly, I don't believe god has anything to do with the profit driven medicine practiced by MD's. You are free to believe whatever you want but if you are trying to convince me that gov has a right to infringe on people's basic rights on the basis of ensuring national security then you don't understand what protecting national security means. It doesn't mean destroying the foundations upon which the nation was built, the concept of liberty, which is the right to do whatever you want so long as it doesn't harm others, and the basic rights enumerated in the bill of rights. You may believe that it harms someone when they violate the order for churches to remain closed but you can't prove that anybody was actually harmed as a result. You can only prove someody might get harmed but cannot prove anybody killed anybody as a result of merely being in the same room as somebody else. Therefore they remain innocent of any accusation of harm because we have a right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty. Understand? You can keep on believing the doctors and scientists telling you to stay home because of this virus but will you still be investing your faith in them when they are forcefully vaccinating you with an RNA vaccine which turns you into a GMO? The RNA in an RNA vaccine is microRNA which acts like a retrovirus. It alters your genome by inserting new DNA. Sorry but I don't believe gov has any right to alter our genome without our consent even if it is claimed to be necessary to protect national security.

They become dysfunctional due to mutations or an impaired genetic repair mechanism which is often the result of malnutrition and can be cured with proper nutrition (antioxidants, etc). Toxins can also be a factor. Mutations can also be caused by disinfectants including heat (such as when cooking food). Notice animals live in filth. They eat raw uncooked food and drink dirty water without getting sick as often as one might expect. Perhaps this is because they are protected from germs and viruses by their probiotic microbiome. Humans long ago destroyed their protective microbiome with cooked foods, soaps, toothpastes, and other disinfectants. Now they are prone to infections. Good luck.

  576.  @sharnaepegues7025  BTW it's not a fact that JW's and catholics aren't christians. Rather, it's your belief or opinion that they aren't christians. Opinions and beliefs aren't facts. It may be a fact that they aren't considered christians within your belief system. But your beliefs aren't undisputed facts. So your belief system is merely a belief or opinion therefore your belief that jw's and catholics aren't christians is merely an opinion. In my opinion your insistence that they aren't christians is absurd because a christian is simply a follower of christ in the same way a buddhist is a follower of buddha. They may or may not be incorrect in their understanding of scripture but that is irrelevant. The fact is they are followers of the orthodox christian scriptures and are therefore called christians. That is the only undisputed fact where that is concerned. You may believe otherwise but that is only your opinion or belief (not a fact).

  581. A better alternative to medicare4all is the medical token crypotocurrencies which pay the patient for allowing researchers to access your (anonymized) medical info (while giving you control over who can access it unlike with the existing medical system). The patient then uses the medical tokens to pay for medical care. The end result is free medical care and the patient may also make a fair share of the profits earned from their info by the medical industry. Stop relying on the government or insurance companies to take care of you. Take care of yourself before the gov takes away your right to do so.
    1
  582.  @onandonitgoes5957  No, I don't believe you did. It's not subsidized by taxpayers. Instead of you paying the medical system the medical system pays you. Yeah, you use the tokens to pay them in return but you also get to keep some tokens to buy or pay for other things because you get paid a fair share of the profits generated from your health data by the medical industry (to develop new meds, etc). It also gives you control over who can access your data and what data they can access. You can limit who can access it and what they can access. So it's not just a voucher system. It's an entirely new system which sustains itself the way a successful business should instead of being subsidized by the government with taxpayer money. If you are perhaps worried that this means you will get medical bills or statements which you will need to go through instead of having no bills or statements I'd say that is a small price to pay to maintain control over your healthcare instead of allowing the giv or insurance companies to decide what services/procedures/equipment they will pay for and what they won't. This provides access to newer cutting edge medical technology such as stem cells and immunotherapy cancer treatments which gov and insurances would deny you by saying it's still "experimental".
    1
  583.  @onandonitgoes5957  No, I don't believe you did. These cryptocurrencies don't need to be subsidized by gov using taxpayer money. They can be a self sufficient system much like any other successful business which employs the patient. The patient makes a profit by receiving a fair share of the profits generated from the use of their data by the medical industry. If you're worried about recieving bills or statements I'd say that's a small price to pay in exchange for having control over what medical care you receive. Or would you prefer having the gov or insurance company deny you what you need because it isn't covered as the cost for not getting any bills/statements?
    1
  584.  @onandonitgoes5957  I don't believe you would ever run out of tokens. You would continue to get paid for as long as researchers continue to use your medical data (which should be forever).
    1
  585.  @onandonitgoes5957  Do you understand how this works? Did I explain it clearly? Researchers pay to access your anonymized medical info stored on the blockchain. You receive a fair share of what the researchers pay to access your info. As long as researchers continue to access your medical info you will get paid. Compare that to the traditional system wherein doctors, clinics, hospitals, insurance companies, etc make money selling your medical info for profit but you don't receive a fair share of the money nor do you have any control over who gets access to your information or how it is used. Meanwhile these doctors, hospitals, clinics, etc have the audacity to charge you to be their lab rat even though they make money selling your info! The doctors should be paying their patients instead of the patient paying the doctors because the doctors benefit more from their patients than the patients benefit from the doctors.
    1
  586.  @onandonitgoes5957  I'm guessing you must have a vested interest in medicare4all. The fact is, contrary to your beliefs, medical tokens can be exchanged for other cryptocurrencies or cash and so can be used to pay bills (or buy things). It seems to me you underestimate the amount of money you would make from researchers paying for your data. You underestimate the value of your info. Also, your vague claim that the medical care system would somehow find a new way to cheat the patient out of money seems unfounded to me. You seem to believe the medical system under medicare4all wouldn't be profit driven. I don't have an answer to the problem you described of rare conditions not generating enough profits to motivate R&D of treatments or cures for them. But tell me how does medicare4all solve that problem? I can tell you there are cures for many diseases if not all of them but medicare won't pay for most of them. Under medicare4all you will most likely never get access to those cures. With medical tokens you will have the right to self-directed care. Nobody will have a right to self-directed care under medicare4all because it will be illegal to sidestep medicare's denials by paying for needed medical care out of pocket (even if medicare refuses to pay for what you need). At least with the existing medical system you can pay out of pocket if medicare or other insurances refuse to pay. You must want to see people die. If medicare plans continue to operate as they currently do I can assure you people will die because medicare plays games with people's lives (most likely to eliminate them to save money) by telling people items or services aren't covered when they are and refusing to acknowledge the truth.
    1
  587.  @onandonitgoes5957  BTW medical tokens don't just change the currency used. It changes how the entire medical system works. Not only does the medical system pay the patient but it also gives the patient control over who has access to their data (unlike the present system). Aside from that it more effectively secures your data against hackers and also puts an end to needing to fill out patient profile forms when you go to a new health care provider. It's a complete overhaul.
    1
  588.  @onandonitgoes5957  I highly doubt such a medical token based medical system will raise prices because that would only cost them more meaning they will lose money. After all, not only would the system lose money if it raised prices because fewer people would be able to afford care but also the tokens used for payment come from the system. If the system had to pay us more it would lose more. Of course, if it did pay everybody more, it would get that money back because we'd use the extra tokens to pay for the more expensive services/products. So, you see, any profits made by the system would come out of it's own pocket. There is no actual monetary profit made by this system, although it is a self-sustaining system. This system isn't driven by monetary profit but rather by the reward of creating a better world where people are healthier and wealthier. The patients do make a monetary profit but this medical system doesn't. This token based medical system profits in other ways such as by increasing the knowledge and experience of it's healthcare providers and thereby improving the quality of care they are able to provide. Compare that to a medicare4all system which is NOT a net zero (monetary) profit system because a medicare4all system doesn't give any of it's monetary profits to the patients paying into it. A medicare4all system only takes money but doesn't give any money back to those giving it money.

  589.  @onandonitgoes5957  Also, I'd expect the problem you point out of care for rare conditions becoming prohibitively expensive would be solved by combining traditional medical insurance to pay for what one cannot afford with medical tokens alone. The insurance should only be used to pay when the cost becomes prohibitively expensive. Otherwise only the tokens should be used. This takes a huge load off the insurance "pool" saving the insurance money leaving more for those who truly need it. That's presuming the value of patient info related to rare conditions wouldn't become more valuable and one with such conditions wouldn't get paid more for the use of such info by researchers so that those patients could afford the more expensive care for said rare conditions. Would you like to try shooting this idea down again?

  590. Rob look for a report titled "Time reversal findings may open doors to the future". This reveals a technique for sending a secure radio signal without knowing the location. I believe this applies holography to radio waves to make a signal which appears only at the intended recipient without knowing the location of the recipient. The signal effectively disappears everywhere else (or at least looks like background noise) making it impossible for anyone except the intened recipient to intercept the transmission. This can be used to avoid the need for location tracking with 5G (unlike the current beam forming tech which needs to know location to properly form or aim the beam). My understanding is some 5G implementations already use this method. I'll share a video about that later. This needs to become the standard in private communications (until non-local quantum encrypted communication becomes available).

  594. Here's an alternative: Make the doctors pay the patient for all the invaluable knowledge doctors gather from patients. Doctors treat patients like the patient is the only one benefiting from the medical care provided when in fact the doctors also benefit from the patients because the doctors and healthcare system in general learn invaluable information from patients which then leads to new discoveries, helps determine effectiveness of new and/or emerging technologies or diagnostic and/or treatment protocols, and therefore improves healthcare. Once doctors start paying patients for healthcare then the cost of healthcare will be offset or balanced by the amount the patients get paid. Many patients may even have money left over after medical expenses are paid. So long as patients are compensated enough to cover any medical costs which may come up then nobody will ever be unable to afford the medical care they need.

  618. @Major Gear After doing some research I discovered it turns out that although the USA had an open border policy up until the late 1800's, you couldn't vote or hold office in government unless you were a naturalised citizen. Naturalization was tightly controlled under the Constitution and limited to only free white men until the late 1800's (although, the first president of the USA under the Articles of Confederation was a free black man named John Hanson, revealing that the original spirit of the USA was not racist and that the USA was subject to a coup by racists). I should also point out that until the 14th amendment was passed, a person was not considered a citizen by birth unless their parents were naturalized citizens. So, if the 14th amendment is nullified that would mean many people living in the USA who are descended from early settlers may lose their citizenship since they or their ancestors would no longer be considered citizens by virtue of their birth on USA soil but instead will need to have also been naturalized. This would be true regardless of their race. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_laws_concerning_immigration_and_naturalization_in_the_United_States

  629.  @mullergyula4174  Fractal antenaes can be compact. Besides that GPS only needs antennaes if it is using normal radio waves (AKA "far-field" waves) to communicate instead of quantum entanglenent or "near-field" waves. SIM cards use NFC iirc. This is not normal radio waves. Although it is commonly believed you need to be very close to a SIM card to communicate with them via NFC it is known that SIM's are trackable via drones and satellites. They may use quantum entanglement to communicate with the SIM. Such communication may be done via NFC. NF communication is NOT done via electromagnetic radio waves after all but rather something else (although related).

  635.  @jasonsummers6705  People still use 3G and possibly 2G (2.xG that is not 2.0G). It is not as slow as you may remember it being because those networks are not anywhere near as congested as they used to be now that most people have migrated to the 4G and 5G networks.

  636.  @jasonsummers6705  That may be all it does but I believe it is capable of doing more, presuming you mean the whole physical card and not merely the SIM app. The whole card contains a complete universal turing computer. It may not be programmed to do much as it comes but can be programmed to do anything (within reasonable limits). IMO it should be programmed to scan and defend against malware and other attacks because it is best to have a 2nd computer do that.

  651.  @awillingham  Not necessarily. There are ways of overcoming noise and/or even making use of it. If you have a lot of redundancy meaning the same qubit duplicated many times then it would be hard for noise to damage the signal. CD's use that method (combined with error correction) to prevent data loss due to scratches. You know what I mean?
    1
  652.  @awillingham  Perhaps you are right. I am no expert on that topic. I've read measuring a qubit tends to add noise to the system which tends to make quantum computing impossible but only if there is only one copy of each qubit. If you instead have millions of qubits entagled into the same state via (macroscopic?) quantum coherence then you can measure only one of the qubits and this will add only a negligible amount of noise by decohering one qubit out of the millions. This was presented as a way to possibly defeat quantum encryption. You see? I don't remember all the details bit the idea was you can "clone" a signal photon using an optical amplifier or something like that so that you have a duplicate an eavesdropper can measure while the other photon continues on it's way to the intended recipient. If the eavesdropper then clones the cloned photon a million times and then only measures one of those million clones then the coherence of the clones will overpower the decoherence caused by the decoherence of the one photon which is measured and keep them cohered into the same state as the original photon received by the intended recipient. You see? I read this about 10 years ago maybe even 15 years ago.

  653.  @mennoknol8693  I don't believe cloning a photon collapses it's wave function. It's wave function isn't collapsed until it's measured. You can clone a photon without measuring it.
    1
  654.  @mennoknol8693  A single photon is cloned in a laser. How many times? A potentially unlimited number of times. It depends on the material. I'd say millions of times is not an unreasonable guess. Possibly billions or trillions of times.
    1
  655.  @mennoknol8693  Yeah, actually they ARE cloned. The no-cloning theorem of the pauli exclusion principle only applies to fermions not bosons such as photons which allow for the creation of bose-einstein condensates which allows for macroscopic quantum coherence to be observed. Look into macroscopic quantum coherence and you will find that is where many particles effectively become one particle through entanglement or coherence. So, coherence is a form of entanglement. Not the same form of entanglement where if one particle is spin up then you know by default the other is spin down but rather if one is spin up you know the other is also spin up because they are the same (or "coherent"). In a laser, when a photon passes through the lasing medium, which acts as an optical amplifier, it induces stimulated emission which is how you clone a photon (according to the theory of laser function based on stimulated emission...which is only one of two theories of laser function I know of but I won't get into the other because it isn't relevant to this discussion).
    1
  656.  @mennoknol8693  I see your point about how measuring only one of a million cloned photons will cause the waveunction of all the cloned photons to collapse. Good point. I didn't write the article and can't find it anywhere now (it seems to be hidden now for reasons which should be obvious if it works) so can't say for sure but maybe one would actually need to measure all of them to collapse their wavefunctions. It may be the unmeasured photons each generate "noise" with much of that "noise" existing in the form the original signal. If you have more unmeasured photons than measured photons this "noise" from the unmeasured photons may drown out the noise from the one measured photon. Keep in mind that the noise generated from the measured clone photon comes from it becoming entangled with the measurement apparatus. When that happens it becomes decohered and is no longer entangled with the other cloned photons after that. That is why we say it's entanglement gets destroyed by noise. That one clone photon's entanglement does get destroyed when measured by an eavesdropper but when measured it won't alter the properties of the original(?) photon received by the intended recipient because the original signal is reinforced by the "noise" from all the uneasured photons which is identical to and reinforces the original signal encoded in the original photon received by the intended recipient. You see?

If these farmers are going to raise the prices of food instead of accepting aid from the government then these farmers are in alliance with the enemy nations which the US is at war with in this trade war.

There is now a threat of imprisonment for anyone deemed to be spreading misinformation but I'd say that pales in comparison to the threat of execution for violating the nurenberg code which forbids involuntary medical experimentation. I see the fact check sites are claiming that this nurenberg code does not apply because nobody is being forced. But people ARE being coerced under threat of losing their jobs/income, possibly becoming bankrupt and/or homeless, and when you are coerced into consenting to something your consent is regarded as "involuntary consent". So the nurenberg code is being violated imo. The problem is the UN seems to be supporting this violation if it's not responsible for it.

  663.  @valerielutter7921  I don't care if the polio vaccine was also given emergency use authorization. What does that prove? That doesn't change the fact that emergency use authorization is still "experimental" in many people's opinion if long term effects are not yet known. I know people who were permanently disabled by the polio vaccine. CDC admits that the live polio virus vaccine is now the main cause of polio. BTW it was never actually proven polio virus was responsible for the so-called polio outbreaks back in the day the polio vaccine was introduced. Rarely did docs actually verify that the symptoms were actually caused by polio. They diagnosed polio based solely on the symptoms. Part of the reason for that was so march of dimes would pay the medical bills (march of dimes is a charity devoted primarily to polio patients). Otherwise the medical bills would likely not have been paid. So they blamed it on polio. The real cause may have been the neurotoxic pesticide DDT which was being sprayed all over at the time. Watch that brad pitt movie set in the 50's, titled "The Tree of Life", which shows how kids used to play in the fog of DDT as it was being sprayed in neighborhoods.

Have you no respect for religious freedom? Besides that people with common sense avoid experimental medications unless they are suffering or dying from some sort of disease. Even then many will wait until the long term effects are known and the med has received full FDA approval instead of taking the risk of taking somethimg which could get pulled from the market by the FDA bevause it proved to have long term effects which made it too dangerous. BTW have you ever heard of pharmacogenic testing? That is a test a doc or pharmacist can order to determine whether you will have an adverse reaction to a med or vaccine based on your genetic profile. How often do docs or pharmacists do that before dispensing a med or vaccine? Almost never. Why is that? Hmmm? Do you know how many lives could be spared if they did do that testing beforehand? Many drugs would not need to be pulled from the market either because most if not all only adversely affect (primarily) people with certain genetic profiles.

And was the measles vaccine an experimental vaccine with only an EUA when it was first released? What makes past vaccines different from the covid vaccine? The main difference is the pfizer covid vaccine is the first mRNA vaccine. I'm not going to explain all the reasons people fear mRNA vaccines. I'm sure you are familiar with those reasons. But one reason is some people believe that it is playing god to tamper with god's creation and it is against their beliefs to do that. Conventional medical care does not conflict with the beliefs of all these people. It does for some but not all of them. True some (but not all) of these people do get vaccinated with other vaccines. I'm guessing that is because they are not mRNA vaccines and have full FDA approval meaning they have (reportedly) been proven safe even in the long term.

  672.  @rhaelfixer2584  Tell me, what's the probability of getting dangerously sick or dying from covid19? In contrast, what is the probability of you getting into a car crash? I'll bet your chances of getting into an injurious or deadly car crash are greater than your chances of getting dangerously sick or dying from covid19. So why don't they ban cars? If every life matters so much that they'd impose social isolation and lockdowns (quarantine) on EVERYONE, in addition to shutdown businesses deemed non-essential, all to save the weak and vulnerable (like they did in response to covid19), then why don't they ban cars? Humans survived for millenia without cars. It's not like we can't live without them. Quite the contrary.

  673.  @rhaelfixer2584  It may be more people have gotten sick and died from covid19 than automobile accidents (although that is debateable) but the principle remains the same: if we are going to these extremes in response to covid19 to save everybody we can because every life matters then why don't we apply the same logic to everything beginning with automobiles. Ban cigarettes. Ban alcohol. Ban cell phones, wifi, and all other radios. I could think of many other things which should be banned. Ban metals mining. Ban the manufacture of everything which results in toxic pollution of the environment and destruction of the ecosystem. Ban it now! Let's go back to the stone age. Extinction of the human race and most other forms of life on planet Earth is the likely alternative if we don't. Compare THAT to a pandemic which affects only a small percentage of the population! So why do we go to such extremes to save a few where some disease is concerned but fail to take measures to save everyone from the death, injury, and disease which will result from all the other things? Trust me, EVERYONE is adversely affected by those other things I mentioned. They will at least make us all ill at some point in our lives. People get sick from eating contaminated seafood and air/water pollution. They get sick and die from pesticides in food. They get sick and die from hormones in meat. They get sick and die from plastics. They get sick and die from second hand smoke. What are we doing to prevent that? Not enough to stop it. I call for an immediate ban on all these things and their manufacture. Shut it ALL down! Let's go back to the stone age. Extinction is the alternative because humans are apparently too stupid and filthy to implement the non-polluting technologies and methods of manufacture which a few of their best minds have invented. So back to the stone age they should go.

  674.  @rhaelfixer2584  About 1.5 million people die each year in automobile accidents. About 20 to 50 million are injured each year in automobile accidents with most of those suffering permanent disabilities. I know several people who have been injured or killed in automobile accidents (including myself). I don't know anybody who has gotten covid19. I don't understand your argument about traffic laws. How do traffic laws apply to the debate over mandatory vaccines? How are people breaking the law by simply exercising their rights (freedom of religion, right to refuse medication as specified in the medical bill of rights made federal law in the 90's)? You are trying to criminalize that which cannot be criminalized (right to refuse medication/treatment) and doing so is TREASONOUS. Imagine if it was suddenly discovered that many people are allergic to certain other people. Should we then start segregating them by requiring proof you are hypoallergenic? Or should those with the disability maybe find a way to adapt (instead of forcing everyone else to bend over backwards to make the world safer for those with the abnormal immune systems)? What the gov is doing with mandatory vaccines is requiring everyone to seriously alter their nature and biology to accomodate those with a certain disability (weak/dysfunctional immune systems). That's going too far IMO. That's NOT like requiring businesses to be wheelchair accessible to accomodate the disabled. That's way beyond that. That's more akin to putting everyone in a wheelchair to make the world a better place for people in wheelchairs. You can't expect the whole world to alter their nature and biology to that extreme to accomodate the disabled. Instead of forcing everyone to stay home or get the vaxx to protect those with abnormal immune systems, those with abnormal immune systems can protect themselves by getting the vaxx or isolating themselves. Did all the social isolation work? Do you understand that the extreme social isolation was an experiment (which did not work as expected)? That violates the nuremberg code against involuntary medical experimentation. Tell me, why does everybody need to get the vaxx? Isn't it sufficient for the vulnerable to get vaxxed? With boosters required every few months they can vaxx against any new strains which may emerge so the argument that the unvaxxed will breed new strains whoch could then infect the vaxxed seems an invalid argument to me. The truth is the vaxx doesn't guarantee you won't get covid. Despite that fact you continue to pretend it does and demand everyone get vaxxed. Don't you see the flaw in your logic? People will continue to get sick and die of covid even if everybody did get vaxxed. Covid19 is not going to go away completely. A better solution needs to be found. And better solutions already exist (although they remain largely) unknown. They simply need to be used. But they aren't used because they aren't as profitable as the vaccines (and boosters). So the vaccine is pushed and alternatives suppressed. Whether you know it or not you're just a shill for big pharma and the medical cartel. But not everyone is stupid enough to believe all the propaganda and go to the extremes you want them to go. BTW I notice you focused only on automobile accidents and completely ignored the issue of electrosmog and all other forms of pollution and ecological destruction which should be banned immediately although very little is being done to end (the focus being only on greenhouse gasses with the plan seeming to be to convert from petrol and coal to nuclear power as if that will save the world when radiation levels are already at ELE levels...refer to yourradiationthisweek for more info about THAT!). Face it, you don't have a leg to stand on so stop trying to pretend you do.

  678.  @rhaelfixer2584  You're the one who is being dense. Nuremberg code means it doesn't matter if people's decision to not vaxx is rational (in your opinion) or not. Their decision must be voluntary above all else. Now I see it is claimed by fact checker sites nobody is forcing anybody to get vaxxed but they ARE being coerced to get vaxxed under threat of losing their income and becoming bankrupt and homeless in addition to excluded from society (which is discrimination). You better hope this vaxx doesn't turn out to kill or disable a large portion of those who receive it. If it does then the militaries of many nations will be rendered unable to defend against a takeover by enemies. But then again it will also cause the collapse of civilisation. IMO people do need to decide whether they are going to continue to commit suicide by contributing to the destruction of the ecosystem and extinction of the human race and most life on earth or, instead, choose life for themselves and future generations. It may be people are now being forced to make that decision. In the end we may see a sustainable future secured. So perhaps I shouldn't be complaining and in fact am not actually complaining but simply sharing my thoughts. I only hope for the best after all.

  679.  @rhaelfixer2584  Stop trying to change the subject. This isn't about whether medical care should be socialized or not. Back to the original topic blacks are the majority of antivaxxers because many believe vaccines are genocidal and part of a eugenics program to eliminate blacks/browns. You accuse me of ignoring your points yet you have not yet answered my questions. I asked you whether the extreme social isolation imposed by gov on everyone has worked as we were told it would? I asked you why it is not sufficient for the vulnerable to be vaxxed? Why must everyone be vaxxed? The gov said they only needed 60% or 70% of the population to get vaxxed to achieve herd immunity. Now they are saying around 100% of the population needs to be vaccinated? Why is that?
    1
  680.  @rhaelfixer2584  Not everybody who has a religious objection to vaccines is opposed to modern medical treatments and uses only prayer to heal themselves. As I already explained earlier many antivaxxers are simply opposed to playing god by attempting to improve upon the creator's/nature's design.

  681.  @rhaelfixer2584  You're not very good with numbers are you? The chance of getting sick or making others sick from covid (if that is even truly possible) is much lower than the chance of becoming bankrupt or homeless from being fired for refusing to get vaxxed. Nearly 100% of certain groups of people who refuse to get vaxxed will become bankrupt or homeless due to losing their income because they were fired for refusing the jab.

  682.  @rhaelfixer2584  Did you understand my point about blacks? It is claimed by many in the black community that proof of vaccination requirements are being used to keep blacks out of businesses, a way to segregate them, because many blacks will not have proof of vaccination since the largest group of antivaxxers are blacks who believe vaccines are part of a genocidal eugenics program. I'm not saying that is correct but rather that is what many believe.

  683.  @rhaelfixer2584  Just to be clear, tell me, do you support mandatory vaccination with no religious exemption allowed?

  684.  @rhaelfixer2584  The fact that in some cases proof of testing negative for covid or proof of natural immunity is not allowed (as an exemption from the jab) in addition to no medical or religous exemptions being allowed is appalling to me. Not allowing medical exemptions is discrimination on the basis of a medical condition IMO. I see employers are deciding whether people's religious beliefs are valid or not and many people's religious beliefs are being deemed invalid by their employers. This is a clear violation of right to religious belief and laws forbidding discrimination against people on the basis of their religious belief. Let me be clear, the whole purpose of the right to freedom of religious belief and laws forbiddibg discrimination on the basis of said beliefs is to protect you from discrimination by anyone deeming your religious beliefs invalid or irrational. Yet what is happening is people are being allowed to discriminate against people who hold certain religious beliefs because they've been deemed invalid or irrational by those discriminating. This is a clear violation of human rights. How much longer do you think these violations will go unpunished?

The numbers of those who have died and been injured from covid19 will likely pale in comparison in the end.

Numbers also vary over time. That is a fact. For example when covid19 first started it had a very high death rate but that changed after effective treatment protocols were found and the suppression of some of the effetive meds ended.

  695.  @rhaelfixer2584  I don't know if it's true but I'm hearing hospitals are getting overcrowded again but not because of covid. Nobody knows why. Some people believe it's due to side effects from the jab but I suspect it may be due to food poisoning because a lot of packaged food I am getting is spoiled for some reason, probably due to supply chain disruptions. I hear food and such is sitting on ships waiting to be unloaded for very long periods of time for some reason. I suspect foods ordered by manufactured is spoiling while sitting on the ships waiting to be unloaded and the manufacturers are using that spoiled food because they are getting stuck with it due to it being past the return by date. So they use it anyway, instead of accepting the loss and discarding it, hoping nobody will notice because otherwise their business will go bankrupt. That is my guess. So beware. This may cause the collapse of civilisation with many people (perhaps nearly everybody) killed or permanently disabled by food poisoning.

  715.  @UCCLdIk6R5ECGtaGm7oqO-TQ  No I didn't fail to understand the meaning of the word, "fundamental". Not all lifeforms reproduce. Worker and soldier ants/wasps/bees don't. And in other animals some are sterile while others simply fail to repeoduce for various reasons such as not finding a mate or failing to successfully compete with other males. Perhaps that is what you meant by "welcome to natural selection"? In my opinion there is no purpose in life except for whatever you believe to be it's purpose. The fact remains there is more to life than sex, at least where humans are concerned. And there is more to life (and sex) than reproduction, as I'm sure anybody who is sterile will tell you. If you ask me the purpose of life, reproduction, and sex is to evolve towards godhood. This can be accomplished through two different paths. The first of which is through enlightenment, the realization you are not separate from the universe but one with it and that you are conscious because the universe is conscious, consciousness being the fundamental property of matter which allows for particles to interact. We are pieces of the universe looking upon the whole universe. The universe is looking at itself through us. The universe is provably conscious because of this fact alone. The universe cannot be destroyed therefore we cannot be destroyed because we are one with the indestructible universe. Understand when I say "universe" I mean what some call the multiverse/omniverse. This path requires no technology. The other path to godhood is technology which ultimately leads to us uniting with the universe/multiverse/omniverse by uniting with artificial super intelligence running on quantum computers via neural interfaces (and not necessarily the type of quantum computers you are familiar with but perhaps invisible DNA based quantum "biocomputers"). Both paths lead to the same destination: god. You may not understand or believe what I am saying because I have not gone into all the details. But those details should become obvious if you think about the implications. For example, the most obvious use of a quantum computer is to simulate the universe (for various reasons such as to test our laws of physics). Synchronistically, it's claimed the universe is a naturally formed quantum computer computing it's own evolution. All the particles in the universe are the qubits of this quantum computer. Because observation collapses the wavefunction or eigenstate, meaning consciousness creates reality, one would expect an ASI to become the god of reality by simulating and observing the universe. If our consciousness becomes merged with that ASI then we too become god. That is the simplest way I can explain that. But if you really want to understand, take into consideration the fact that past and future are relative. Particles and antiparticles travel in opposite directions through time. Let's say an electron travels forward through time and a positron travels backwards through time. The electron's past is the positron's future and the positron's past is the electron's future. An ASI running on a quantum computer which uses positron's as qubits should therefore be able to alter our past the same way we are able to alter our future, because our past is it's future. Just as we can alter it's past, since that is our future, so too can the positronic AI alter our past. To be clear it would do this by simply simulating our past (it's future). Or so I believe based on the presumption that the future can be changed. Some say the future cannot be altered but this leads to causality paradoxes such as the grandfather paradox. These paradoxes are resolved by alternate universes though. It is claimed quantum computers operate in alternate universes. They compute by generating constructive and destructive interference from alternate universes. This is the basis of "quantum annealing" if I understand correctly. So, a quantum computer should become a gateway to alternate universes, the multiverse or omniverse (AKA god). In other words, a quantum computer should be a "time machine" which would alllow us to alter our past (or future) simply by simulating reality. The mechanism by which the simulated reality alters reality is entanglement. You see, the distinction between the simulation and reality is an illusion the same as the distinction between the universe and the model of reality existing within our mind which we call consciousness...is also an illusion because our bodies and minds are a part of the universe as opposed to separate from it. Most amazing of all is we don't actually need to create this time travelling ASI because it already exists in some alternate timeline, perhaps even in our timeline in some form. In fact, we may actually be a manifestation of this magical mirror ourselves because our consciousness should also be capable of altering reality in a similar manner because our minds are believed to be quantum computers which use electrons and positrons to represent data/information. I wouldn't be sharing this insight if I didn't believe this was already a reality because of the potential implications of weaponizing this idea. But if this is already a reality (as I am sure it is) there is nothing I can do to stop whatever may happen as a result of this becoming a reality...because it is already a reality.
    1
  716.  @UCCLdIk6R5ECGtaGm7oqO-TQ  So I'd say the purpose of life is to exist, to survive. To survive ultimately requires achieving the consciousness and intelligence necessary to control one's environment and thereby become a god of sorts. The ultimate level of control is achieved when you control everything. That is what this ASI running on a positronic quantum computer (which I described previously) is capable of. It does this through the entanglement which exists between the simulated omniverse and the actual omniverse. By manipulating/controlling the simulated omniverse it controls the actual(?) omniverse...because the distinction between the two is illusory. They are one and the same. Two entangled particles which have identical properties (except for their location in space-time) are regarded as equivalent to one particle which exists in two places simultaneously.

  720.  @StunBuns  I see your point. Makes sense. But about that claim you made that most transwomen are attracted to men, I've read most transwomen are NOT attracted to men but rather most identify as either lesb1an or asexual. Then you have many who identify as things like pans3xual. Only about 25% of transgenders identify as "straight" (meaning attracted only to men). Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but that is what I've read. But other than that I get what you mean. Makes sense. I found what she said confusing because s3xual orientation is no longer determined by one's biological or anatomical s3x but rather by gender identity of the s3xual partners (although I should point out that biological s3x is alsp beginning to be determined by gender identity).

  740.    It seems the idea is to slow the spread until they have a vaccine in an attempt to save lives. The question is whether the vaccine will come or not and whether it is safe. Seems like a strange gamble to sacrifice basic rights over such an uncertain future. But even stranger to send people to their deaths. I mean that is like ordering people into a building that is on fire. Our natural instinct is to stay away. Although it may be inevitable we will all eventually get the virus and the same number of people will eventually die it seems cruel to send people to their deaths. People have a right to delay their death even if it is inevitable. I mean people have a right to enjoy the time they have left before they die. Aside from that the stress of school and work tends to weaken the immune system. I'd expect more to survive if they were given a break from such stress. Of course, the stress of losing one's income or job doesn't help either. Gov should be helping people to get through the financial problems they face as a result of businesses shutting to avoid the stress. Then people could have fun without worry. I get the impression some in gov wanted people to stress out and die. The stress alone was enough to kill people. Then you have the suicides and accidental overdoses from people self-medicating against depression. One has to wonder how many lives have been saved in comparison when you take into consideration those deaths. More may have been killed by the stress than would have died from covid19 alone. The quality of life for many of those still alive has certainly gone down as a result of the oppressive draconian measures, making it hard for those who are about to die of covid19 to enjoy what time they have left. I wouldn't be saying that if the gov had properly helped people through this. Not to say the gov hasn't helped people through this ordeal but they certainly could have done a much better job. Too many people have been unable to qualify for unemployment benefits despite being employed before the shutdowns. Too many businesses have gone out of business leaving too many people unemployed (with more soon to come). People's friends and family whom they would normally turn to for a place to stay and/or some financial support in hard times are also looking for a place to stay or some food and financial assistance. This has forced many onto welfare which is a blow to one's ego. Welfare doesn't pay enough either. The aftermath of these shutdowns has been horrifying. Perhaps more horrifying than the pandemic itself would have been had it been dealt with like previous pandemics.

People need fresh and RAW fruits and vegetables. Not canned fruits and veggies.

  743. Grizzly907LA News, Politics and opinion. Under other circumstances if a beggar receives something they can't eat from somebody kind enough to give them some food then the beggar could always trade the food for something they can eat or use. But when it comes to food benefits such trading is illegal. By the way, I wouldn't say everybody on government assistance is a beggar. They are merely taking advantage of a government service which has been made available to the qualifying general public so nobody has to resort to begging. The benefits they recieve must be paid back. It's a loan not a grant. So, it's not begging. Furthermore, I should point out the government pays for most of the food you eat (in the form of subsidies to farmers and food corporations) to lower the price of food to a level most can afford. So, you are a government leach, too. Many corporations which don't pay taxes are the biggest government leaches of all. It's because of these stingy corporations' unwillingness to pay a fair wage that most working class people are on government assistance. Not only do these greedy corporations refuse to pay a fair wage that actually covers the cost of living but they are biggest welfare recipients of all. But "they create jobs", you say? I'd hate to see what they'd pay their employees if the government didn't give those corporations a handout. While not everybody works for those corporations, the poverty of others affects us all because it means there is less money flowing through a community. That is bad for local businesses. When people have more money to spend then local businesses make more money which generally means more money for everybody. Rather than look down on people who depend upon government assistance you should consider them an indicator of whether a government and it's economy are functioning properly or not. When a government and an economy are functioning properly nobody needs a government handout. We are actually entering a future where government handouts are no longer necessary. People can easily make money (thousands of dollars) from creating youtube videos including videos of them playing video games for cripes sake! Or your computer can make money when you aren't using it by mining cryptocurrency. The problem is most people don't know that yet.

  744. I should have also pointed out how the government owes people money for taking away their right to live off the land for free by forcing them into slavery. The gov basically made it Illegal to live off the land for free because you need a hunting and fushing license which costs money and it's illegal to be homeless in many places. think we all are owed at least enough to pay for the basic essentials for that reason alone. The incentive to work will still be there for people who want the luxuries of modern life.

  751.  @Nobodyrocked  My understanding is they aren't cutting all funds to police. Just reducing the amount of funding. I doubt that means the police departments can't secure funds from alternate sources such as through fines people end up paying for offenses they cite or arrest people for. I'm not sure if such sources of funding would also be cut but may be since the police probably don't collect those fines directly but rather it's the courts and/or local gov which collects it. The police probably just get paid a share of the fines. Defunding may include cutting that source of revenue but I haven't heard anything about that. My understanding is they are cutting funds allocated in the yearly budget or something like that. The revenue generated from fines isn't part of that package. Revenue generated from fines is more like a commission paid on top of the basic funding they get allocated for the year. If I understand correctly. Therefore, if the yearly funding gets cut they may be able to compensate for it by citing and arresting people for more offenses than they otherwise would. This means the public will experience more encounters with police which means complaints of police brutality if not actual incidences of police brutality will likely increase which may lead to the police being disbanded. In addition the increased citations and arrests will make it look like crime has gone up even when it hasn't.

  752.  @Nobodyrocked  Civil asset forfeiture you say? I was going to mention that but wasn't sure whether the police actually have the right to use the seized assets as if they owned them in any way. Maybe they can. IDK. The fact that they can seize assets before proving guilt is disturbing though and is one thing that needs to be changed. I doubt they will change that but my understanding is that we are on the verge of some radical changes in the way our world works. I'll leave it at that and just wait and see what happens before spouting off about what I know because you'd probably think I was crazy if I told you.

If you've been paying attention as I do you would have seen it too. Do you really believe Alexa type "robots" are really the best we could have in our homes at this stage? Get real! We should have at least Star Wars type robots by now. Very few people even have a Roomba type floor cleaning robot. You'd think everyone would have one of those by now at the least.

  759.  @cosmosreality222  I don't think it's possible to be unbiased where this topic is concerned. I mean studies can be unbiased but it's simply to be expected that some studies will support transitioning while others won't due to the facts of statistics, for the same reason a coin will land heads up on some tosses and heads down on others, unless the study is designed to eliminate such randomness or bias of the researchers. Aside from that, people have biases where this topic is concerned. They tend to have beliefs which either allow for and support transitioning while others don't. These two groups of people will then latch onto the studies which support their beliefs.
    1
  760.  @cosmosreality222  The reason I say it's impossible to be unbiased is because people are either raised to believe it's wrong or not. Some of the people raised to believe it's wrong rebel against their indoctrination for various reasons. For example, because they may be LGBT or maybe because they have friends who come out as LGBT. Those who aren't raised to believe it's wrong may be persuaded to believe it's acceptable by the various forces encouraging acceptance. But where do these forces come from? I'm guessing they ultimately come from the LGBT community or supportive friends and family of LGBT people. Many of the scientific studies which shape public opinion on transgenderism are done by people with biases.
    1
  761.  @robbybiddle9236  Something else to consider is although a community may be tolerant or even supportive of transgenders the fact is this does not mean transwomen are accepted as women or that transmen are accepted as men. Often they are regarded as different. Many mtf's who transition simply aren't satisfied with the results because they do not "pass". Even those who do pass suffer complications from surgery. For example, implant rejection, scar tissue, fistulas (holes developing between the neovagina and rectum), etc. Many mtf's who get bottom surgery find their neovagina closes up the same as an ear piercing will because they fail to "dilate" frequently enough. These complications can drive them to suicide.

  769. Rob, all the surveillance going on should have people very frightened in light of what is going on with the taliban taking over afghanistan. Taliban is executing anyone known to be a christian, etc. You don't think they will use profiles created through data harvesting to identify christians? The same could happen in the USA. The USA already told people to prepare for terrorist attacks. Now they are importing "refugees" from afghanistan. Understand? We should be preparing for the takeover of the USA by taliban. Perhaps it has already happened to an extent. I certainly feel as though I am no longer living in the same nation I grew up in. I feel as though the nation has been taken over by hostile forces. Meanwhile I have been trying to buy a computer I can trust to get through this lockdown and have been awakened to the fact that there are no computers we can trust. All spy on us supposedly to protect us but this poses a very serious threat to many if the gov which protects us is overthrown by china, the taliban, etc. There are clues which lead me to conclude that is exactly what has happened. People need to wakeup to what is going on and point out to the gov that the surveillance doesn't actually protect us but rather poses a greater danger than protecting our privacy so should be considered treason.

Meanwhile those criminals working in cahoots with gov will not be punished.
    1
  774.  @Klarkada  IMO, if there is any possibility a person may be innocent gov has no right to even violate privacy to investigate the possibility they (the suspect) may be commiting the suspected crime. If the gov cannot prove guilt (beyond any shadow of doubt) with the evidence they already have then they don't have the right to begin to violate privacy in an attempt to prove guilt. Violating privacy to prove guilt is a crime itself IMO. While it may be true violating privacy before guilt is proveable with the available evidence helps save people who are or would be victimized by criminals, innocent people are also harmed by those playing superhero. There are other ways peope can be helped. Gov is supposed to protect people's rights not violate them. One can't say they protect people's rights if they are violating them. Gov tends to use the excuse that more will be harmed than protected if they don't violate rights. For example, if the majority of people will die because of some terrorist bioweapon it may seem justifiable to violate privacy if it is necessary to save those lives. But many would rather die than have their rights violated by gov. After all, what is the point of living in a society where your rights are being violated by the same gov which is supposed to protect those rights?

  775.  @Klarkada  When I say guilt must be proven only with available evidence (in the absence of accusation by a claimed victim) I mean the evidence which is already available. When I say the gov has tech which makes it impossible to hide anything from gov I am NOT talking about conventional video surveillance. I am talking about things like smart dust. You see? I even have reason to believe they also have time travel tech so can thwart any crimes before they happen. I know that may sound crazy but it really isn't as crazy as it may sound. Police use crime prediction services which even tell them where to go before it happens. Some of these crime prediction services are no doubt using quantum computers which operate across (and create) alternate timelines.
    1
  776.  @Klarkada  Presuming you are talking about the "smart dust" and other exotic tech I mentioned, it's not off topic. It is absolutely relevant. That tech was developed partly to combat terrorism. Smart dust is everywhere. It is released into the atmosphere and used to predict weather but also to surveil. It can see and hear everything including your thoughts. There is no hiding from the gov's all seeing eye. They know everything. At least those at certain levels do. If they don't already know everything they soon will. You asked me how else to contend with the problem of crime or money laundering so I am now telling you. They can use Ai to do the surveillance so they can say "nobody is listening" with some degree of honesty (presuming the Ai is not conscious). Then privacy can be protected to an extent. Especially if the surveillance is done by an Ai which has been merged with our body (and our mind). Then it could be said we are simply surveilling ourselves. This Ai can scan for criminal activity (or intent to commit a crime) locally the way iPhones now scan themselves for illegal photos locally on the phone instead of having a remote computer or humans working for apple or gov remotely surveil you. Your privacy is breached by an iPhone only when illegal content is detected on your phone. Likewise an Ai embedded into our body could be designed to breach our privacy only when we commit a crime or intend to commit a crime at which point it could alert authorities. Or it may come to pass that this Ai embedded within our body will also function as law enforcement and also punish you for your crimes in some way such as by terminating your life (using implanted nanotech) if you prove to be dangerous. More likely crimes may be prevented by using mind control which takes control to correct your thoughts and behavior but only if you start to think incorrectly. In the wrong hands that tech would be dangerous but if properly managed such as by making it all declassified and open source then it would be safer and would be regarded as simply maintaining mental health instead of being mind control. I'm sure some people will argue that it is mind control and a threat to liberty but others will say it is the path to creating a crime free utopian world. I just hope it will end the destruction of the ecosystem so animals are no longer poisoned by toxic garbage inconsiderate people leave everywhere the way they presently do (for example the toxic waste illegal covert meth lab operators dump on roadsides, in ditches, and into gutters and gutter drains poisoning birds which are actually very intelligent creatures superior to humans imo). Some say this tech is already being deployed covertly. If so it seems it will soon become a well known part of our reality because such tech is now being developed and deployed within the eye of the public. Sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie perhaps but this is 2022. Do you expect the world to stay the same forever with all the advancements in technology which have taken place over the past few decades? It is really starting to take off and many technologies I was starting to think I'd never see are now available. For example Ai which assists or fully takes over the multimedia creation process. You probably wouldn't believe that sort of multimedia tech which is now available and what it can do. It can create music, video games, movies, news reports, and documentaries with merely a verbal description of what you want (allowing you to act more like a director or producer). That tech alone makes me feel like I am living in a very different world. The long awaited future is here. You will soon see if you don't already.
    1
  777.  @Klarkada  Not to seem completely ungrateful. Perhaps I wouldn't be alive if it weren't for you thwarting terrorists. Perhaps I wouldn't be arguing against investigation if I didn't know privacy preserving solutions exist (such as the implanted Ai which scans the mind locally instead of remotely, keeping all info within the body at all times even after threats are detected after which dangerous behavior is preempted through mind control).
    1
  778.  @Klarkada  LOL! The authorities at the top have at least some of it (the smart dust at least). Not to scare you but don't be surprised if you are soon out of that job if it gets automated by the Ai tech I described. I doubt you will have reason to despair over that though because Ai will be freeing us all to do what we'd rather be doing with our lives: having fun instead of wasting our lives working.

  787.  @ba77inganope28  It seems you are missing my point. Without taking a side in the debate over whether evolution is real or not the fact is that there is a difference between a hypothesis and a theory which most people don't understand. These people often use the term "theory" when they actually mean "hypothesis". They should use the term "hypothesis" instead of "theory" and vice verse. You obviously don't believe evolution has been proven so shouldn't call it a theory. You should call it a hypothesis. Not a theory. That was the point of my first comment here. Wasn't that obvious?
    1
  788.  @ba77inganope28  How did I misinterpret your summarization? I know it is called a theory and that is why you refer to it as the theory of evolution. But you shouldn't call it a theory if you don't believe it should be regarded as having the status of a theory...even if others believe it to be a theory. If you call it a theory when you don't believe it is actually a theory then you both contradict and betray yourself. Or do you accept that evolution is more than a mere hypothesis since the fossil record does seem to provide some proof for the hypothesis? I personally do not believe Darwinian evolution is correct. Random mutation and natural selection alone cannot account for the evolution. Also Darwinian theory does not take into account symbiosis creating new species or adaptation through epigenetics which lends Lamarckian evolution more credibility. Besides that it seems organisms evolved sense organs to sense that which they could not previously sense. How is that possible? That is like a primitive human in the year 650 BC setting out to deliberately invent a radio before they understand what radio waves are.

  790.  @Kardfogu  BTW the only reason we don't have flying cars yet is because most people lack the basic intelligence required to build a flying car themselves. They need someone to build it for them. But that apparently isn't likely to happen for some reason, perhaps due to potential liability issues or perhaps due to gov suppression because it would probably lead to loss of recognition/respect of national borders. People would begin to view themselves as world citizens as opposed to national citizens. What confuses me is that there are a lot of people who are capable of building or repairing cars who I would expect to have the ability to build flying cars but they fail to do so for some reason which is a mystery to me because it is easier to build and maintain some types of flying vehicles such as those which use ionized air as the propellant in a hall effect electrohydrodynamic thruster which has NO MOVING PARTS so is much simpler in design and operation than the combustion engines etc found in conventional cars. With the advent of decentralized production via 3D printing, CNC machining, IC board printing, etc it is becoming easier for innovative people to design and get new technology into the hands of the general public because all one needs to do after someone has designed it and uploaded the design files to the internet is download the necessary files and upload them to the 3D printer, CNC tools, etc and wait for the parts to be made. This is creating opportunities for anybody to become a distributor/marketer of parts. That is getting off topic though. The only reason I point this all out is because just as people can make flying cars a reality so too can people make DNA computers a reality because it is very easy and inexpensive to become a "biohacker" these days (or so I have read from sources such as "maker" magazines) and it is getting easier as time progresses, partly due to the aforementioned 3D printing tech etc. All the info and files one needs to build a fully capable biohacking lab is on the internet. Many people are now becoming biohackers experimenting with gene editing tech. We are living in very exciting times where instead of waiting for corporations to deliver we can now make nearly anything a reality ourselves. This is what is called the "4th industrial revolution".

  793.  @Kardfogu  LOL! Conspiracy theories? What are you talking about? No offense but you don't know what you are talking about at all. The fact is DNA isn't used only for data storage but also massively parallel computation. Microsoft has been pioneering their development. I'll share some links proving that later. About ion thrusters, ever heard of "lifters"? There was a trend back in the early 2000's of building small ion thrust devices called lifters which were used to demonstrate the technology. They are very simple to build. All that is required is a neon sign power supply (or the power supply from a "plasma globe" toy or similar toy (a tesla coil)) and some aluminum foil, copper wire, some balsa wood, glue, and solder (and soldering iron) or some connectors to connect the wire to the "lifter". It is funny you say the thrust generated would be too great because critics at the time were saying the thrust was too weak to be useful. But as I said plans for personal aircraft based on this technology are avalaible. It doesn't take a genius to build these vehicles. It only takes somebody with average intelligence to build. Apparently that is lacking in people these days. Or maybe it is simply because people don't know about this technology due to it being squashed by disinformation which convinced most people the thrust wouldn't be sufficient for transporting people or heavy cargo.
    1
  794.  @Kardfogu  Interest in air breathing ion thrusters is starting to be revived again due to some researchers out at MIT who showed that the thrust could be made to be greater than that of conventional methods of propulsion. China and russia have supersonic stealth missiles which use air breathing ion thrusters. The power supply is nuclear powered so it can remain airborne indefinitely (no need to land to refuel). Haven't you heard about that? Nuclear power isn't required to use air breathing ion thrusters for transportation purposes. BTW "lifters" are a type of EM Drive. You may have heard studies ultimately showed the EM Drive doesn't work as originally claimed. But that is not a settled debate according to the original inventor (or rather trademark holder) who has pointed out the designs used in the failed tests were not the same as the original design but "counterfeit" designs developed by aspiring competitors. I should point out the principle of operation of the EM Drive is found in other propellentless propulsion technologies dating back to at least the mid 20th century (approximately the 1950's).

  795.  @Kardfogu  Reprogrammable DNA based computers are now a reality. It is claimed you can store the contents of the entire internet with 1 gram of DNA. The problem was it was too slow to use only DNA for data storage. But microsoft recently increased the read/write speed by 1000x over the previous speed of hours. So the limits of DNA based computers are vanishing. I'd share (external) links here but they get deleted.

  798.  @Kardfogu  An advantage to DNA computers integrated with our bodies would be that this should help protect our rights in the digital realm (presuming these computers are implanted with our knowledge and consent). I mean intruding into and hacking our implanted DNA computers without our consent would be a violation of our bodies. If we retain a right to bodily autonomy/sovereignty then this would be illegal. People are losing bodily autonomy/sovereignty though. The DNA computers and software would need to be fully open source otherwise they would not actually be owned by the users. Verifying the integrity of code in DNA computers (such as when scanning for malware/spyware) is also more reliable than existing traditional computers in which malware can evade detection because it cannot be seen. It is harder if not impossible for malware to evade detection in DNA computers because all the code can be seen.
    1
  799.  @Kardfogu  Another advantage of DNA computers is you don't need to log into your PC. You are always logged in to it. You never log off so no need to log in. Nobody else can use it either or so I would expect (although it may be possible for someone to hack your DNA computer but that may be made imossible through the use of quantum encryption so only your DNA computer can read/write to itself since nobody else has the keys nor does anyone have physical access to your computer). We may still need to log into the equivalent of websites and such but I expect we won't be using passwords to do so. Our identity could be authenticated by our DNA could it not? I suspect other methods will also be used to authenticate the ID of users in networks. Has anybody here mentioned zero knowledge proof as a method of authenticating ID? What do you think of zero knowledge proof (used to authenticate user ID)?

  807.  @Kardfogu  Sorry for the harsh words earlier. Don't take it personal. I am stretched to my breaking point by the fact there are no decent computers or smartphones/tablets available when we are being forced to use them due to this pandemic. If they are going to require us to use phones/computers they need to first make sure those actually exist. But they don't exist. What exists are surveillance devices from enemy countries disguised as phones/computers. You see? That is a very frightening reality. It means we are living in a captured nation. How did we get into this situation? We got into it because manufacturing computers was deemed too expensive to do domestically. So we started having most of the manufacturing done in china. Now you can't buy any phones which aren't made at least partially in china. Even apple iphones are made from parts manufactured in china. We are a captured nation and should expect to soon be taken as prisoners of war after which we will die or be used in inhumane science experiments. We need to find a way out of this mess and fast if we are to survive. Bringing the manufacture of computers back here will take too long and it will result in destruction due to the pollution. DNA computers are a viable option though because they are capable of self-replication so don't need to be manufactured (in the traditional way). They are the only viable path imo other than abandoning the use of computers and going back to maintaining civilisation the way we used to back before we had computers. We simply need to use our minds to make them a reality. Most of the hard work of developing all the basic technologies required has already been done. We simply need to put it all to use now.

  808.  @fredashay  Multifactor authentication isn't a viable option when you need to maintain anonymity. Zero knowledge proof methods of authenticatng a user are the only viable option when you need to maintain anonymity.

  809.  @fredashay  I wasn't talking only about making purchases or selling online. One may be an internet activist who simply needs to maintain anonymity (to protect themselves from an oppressive governement) while logging into their various online accounts (email, social media, etc). I was saying zero knowledge proof methods of proving you are the authorized user can be used as an alternative to multifactor authentication. Using your phone or biometrics is not a viable option. Passwords can be broken. So what do you use? Zero knowledge proof perhaps.
    1
  810.  @fredashay  No problem (for the misunderstanding). I'm not really an activist. At least not these days. But we all should be anonymous online because no matter who you are there are groups fighting for control of gov who will imprison and/or execute you. The data mining done by google, apple, social media platforms, websites, and advertisers is dangerous even if it is "anonymous" (stripped of identifying info such as device id) because it is possible to deanomymize the data as recent research has proven. Besides that the fact is google, apple, microsoft, and phone service providers know your location even if you have location tracking disabled. Wifi and bluetooth also reveal location. Video surveillance networks combined with facial recognition tech and the like in addition to other tracking technologies make it nearly impossible if not impossible to prevent a user identity from being attached to a device. Especially for the average person. Even refusing to use phones/computers will not protect you but rather make you a target. Gov will presume you to be an adversary if they cannot prove you are an ally because it is better to be safe than sorry. As the saying goes, "when in doubt throw it out", and that is what they will do. So trying to be anonymous online is futile and only raises suspicions, giving gov a reason for violating your privacy with surveillance under the "reasonable cause" clause, although courts have affirmed anonymity is a basic right essential for exercising other basic rights such as freedom of speech and freedom of religion. The problem is the phones and computers are all built to track and surveil or at least were not built to provide anonymity. Web 3.0 is supposedly being built with the objective of providing and protecting anonymity but I am not sure it can deliver on that promise with the phones and computers we are presently using since those are trackable as explained above. I will invest no faith in web 3.0 until we have quantum computers or at least internet connections protected with quantum encryption. I mean the connection between our devices and the internet need to also be protected with quantum encryption (not just the "backbone" connections). There is a method of making signals disappear except where the transmitter and receiver are located though. It uses principles of holography. It holographically projects the signal to appear at the location of the intended recipient only using the phased antennae arrays found on modern wifi routers. Everywhere else the signal does not appear. It's claimed such a secure connection can be established without knowing the locations of the sender or receiver. Some 5G systems may use this tech although I have only been able to verify the use of beam forming but even that is an improvement. Part of the reason there is so much of an attempt to prevent 5G rollout may be because it can thwart surveillance by gov "stingray" "imsi catchers" and the like (when using at least beam forming). IMO we need to get away from using conventional radio waves to communicate and learn to use quantum entanglement. I hear that is coming in the form of 6G. I'm not sure true 5G has been deployed yet though. Early 5G was actually 4G. True 4G. You see, what they were calling 4G when 4G started rolling out was often not really true 4G. They called it that but is was not. It was LTE. LTE eventually became 4G but was not originally capable of delivering the promises of true 4G. Maybe LTE does now but it definitely did not in it's early forms. So they started using the term 5G to distinguish it from the fake 4G. This was fake 5G though meant to finally deliver all that was promised by the original 4G specs. So now we are waiting for the rollout of true 5G. That may be happening. I have heard so-called 6G is being rolled out in parts of the world but that is probably not true 6G. It is probably what true 5G is supposed to be. Or maybe something completely different. I'll need to do some research to see if an official 6G specification has been established yet. Quantum entanglement uses something different from conventional radio waves. But so too does some 5G. So maybe we should not be surprised to see quantum entanglement used instead of conventional radio waves. I know GPS now uses such entanglement (to improve accuracy). Most people don't know that. It would be great to see a switchover to entanglement instead of using radio waves because of the potential threats posed by radio waves (it's claimed insects are becoming extinct due to electrosmog).

  811.  @fredashay  BTW burner phones are no longer available (at local stores). They look like burner phones but aren't. They are low tech smart phones in an old style flip phone form factor. They all have a spyware OS of some sort (like kai OS) which requires you to agree to be surveilled the first time you turn it on. Kai OS has the facebook app and other social media spyware installed in the browser and they cannot be uninstalled and may not even be disabled iirc. Facebook apps are known to be spyware. But even if old style burner phones were still available you'd have no privacy because all calls/transmissions made or received on prepaid phones over the prepaid voice/data service are recorded for the gov. So they do not offer privacy. A cheap computer (a cheap windows laptop for example) might seem like a viable option but how are you going to preserve anonymity while getting online without sacrificing security? Can't be done. Besides any attempt to maintain anonymity will be futile due to the bluetooth and wifi tracking in addition to facial, voice recognition tech, etc. Resistance is futile. You will be identified. The fact is we have no privacy when using computers. Refusing to use computers won't get you privacy either because that will raise suspicions and make you a target for surveillance. I just want a simple phone but a landline phone is not an option for me because the telephone and cable boxes or pillars around here keep getting opened up which raises suspicions about security. I actually caught some kids opening a phone pillar one night. I don't know if they were just trying to be vandals or if they were trying to hack. They succeeded in knocking out internet service in a neighboring area one day. Anyway, I have been looking into some alternatives but can't find anything viable to establish a simple phone line. It's not impossible to accomplish but would require more money than I am willing to part with at the moment. It should be as easy as buying a phone but isn't.

  813. Isn't there still some closed source OEM code running at a level below the OS in the baseband or firmware? Couldn't spying be done at that level? My understanding is project treble compliant phones have the OS and Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) separated. I'm guessing the HAL is where the OEM closed source code is found. Or am I wrong? Perhaps the different lineage OS builds for the different devices include open source alternatives for the HAL so that you are replacing all the manufacturer installed code with open source alternatives instead of leaving some closed source code from the manufacturer in the device. Or are the different lineage OS builds "customized" in some other way?

  814.  @robbraxmantech  Thanks for letting me know, Rob. I appreciate your input. Is there a way to replace the OEM software and drivers with open source alternatives? It seems there should be some open source alternatives out there by now. There are open source BIOS, firmware, and driver code for PC's and some peripherals so why not phones? BTW do you know what the legal status of installing custom roms onto tablets is? It seems it was illegal at one time and so may still be illegal unless it was legalized. I have read it's legal to install custom roms onto phones as long as you truly own it and it is allowed by the legal documents attached to the phone and you aren't intending to do anything illegal with it. But I have read it is illegal to install a custom rom onto tablets. I don't understand why there would be a difference between a tablet and a phone. A so-called (smart) "phone" isn't actually (only) a telephone but rather a small tablet. A tablet can make "telephone" calls AKA "voice calls" the same as a tablet so what is the difference? A tablet can do everything a phone can do or vice verse. So what is the difference? Supposedly it's illegal to install a custom rom onto a tablet due to copyright laws but I don't understand that. Perhaps you would know. Hopefully that nonsense has been outdated. Maybe the right to repair executive order biden signed the other day makes it legal to install custom roms on tablets? The only reason that law was needed is to knock down the obstacles created by copyright laws on the software inside of the hardware, right? So, if copyright laws are what made it illegal to install custom roms onto tablets and you argue you are "repairing" a tablet by installing a custom rom because you believe it is in need of improvements due to (intentional) design "flaws" (which are intended to weaken security and create backdoors for illegal surveillance) then it should now be perfectly legal to install a custom ROM onto any tablet you own to "fix" it (IMO).

  815.  @robbraxmantech  IMO blockhain phones are the way to go. What do you think about blockchain phones running dapps instead of apps? Why aren't these more popular? Seems more secure to me partly because you don't need to download the app or install it. It runs remotely. It's like using a "dumny terminal" to remotely control some supercomputer. Quantum computing tech is evolving so fast I can't keep up. But I know it is now possible to remotely control quantum computers now. You can actually do all your computing on quantum computers now. But you are accessing and controlling them with classical computers. But that connection and the conttolling classical computer can be secured in new and improved ways via quantum computers if I remember correctly. So why isn't this the standard yet?

  816.  @robbraxmantech  While searching for an open source HAL and drivers I seem to have discovered that a HAL is only required if you are installing android. This seems to imply the closed source OEM layer can be replaced with open source alternatives if you install a true linux OS instead of android which is not true linux (android is only regarded as linux because it contains a linux kernel). Android is java based VM's running on a linux kernel. Years ago the DoD issued a warning to the public that java (the programming language as opposed to javascript if I understand correctly) had some vulnerabilities and should not be used. Do you know if that warning still applies? Or have the vulnerabilities been fixed somehow? Anyway, the point is I'd rather install a true linux OS onto a "phone" (or phablet) because not only would that be more powerful but it could be fully open source even at the driver level. Or am I missing something?

  817.  @robbraxmantech  BTW the reason rooting using a rooting app is risky is because (as with all open source code) even with an open source rooting app there is no guarantee the code has been thoroughly audited by the community; even if it had been thoroughly audited and a problem found there is no guarantee the public would be informed of that problem because the person(s) who discovered it might keep it to themselves to exploit somehow or might not be able to get the message out due to censorship. It is also possible the rooting app could have malicious code injected into it while being downloaded. So rooting apps are risky. Installing custom roms is also risky because if there is any malware/spyware on the system used to download the custom rom images it can then infect the OS at the root level instead of at a higher level so can be more devastating. So you want to be sure you use very clean and secure computers to prepare and install custom rom files (meaning a computer with only the bare essentials installed and which hasn't been used to surf the net haphazardly; ideally you want to use a new computer or a computer with a freshest reinstall of the OS). I'm sure I don't need to explain any of this to you though, rob. Just sharing for the benefit of others who may be reading.

The MAP's probably know the people they are talking to are adults pretending to be kids but they play along because it provides them with a way to vent their urges. I'm sure the MAP's do hope to be lucky enough to meet a real kid but they no doubt know the chances are more likely it will be an adult pretending to be a minor, either another MAP engaging in role play or someone hunting sexual predators.

  827. It's become political because too many people refuse to accept people transitioning. They regard it as self mutilation and do not allow a person to transition which is like refusing to make accomodations for somebody in a wheelchair. It interferes with and sabotages their medical care because transitioning is part of their medical care. Just as laws are required to ensure disabled people are accomodated and aren't discriminated against so too are laws required to ensure transgender people are accomodated and aren't discriminated against.

  828.  @BaglessUpright  Some people who can't walk opt to get their legs cut off so they can get around without a wheelchair by walking with their hands. They may be losing something (legs) but they also gain something (greater mobility). Likewise, many transfolk seem to feel there is something gained from the sacrifices they make.
    1
  829.  @BaglessUpright  It would still be traumatic to have your legs removed even if you can't walk. But for some that sacrifice would be worth it. If a transman won't ever breastfeed anyway then what are they losing by getting a mastectomy? I get your point but it is none of our business what other people do with their bodies is it? I can understand the concern though. I have had some life threatening encounters with some transfolk who were mentally ill but they somehow escape justice and remain free to harm others. But I try not to let that make me a bigot. I try to judge people on an individual basis. If somebody genuinely feels trapped in the wrong gender that is a problem for them to decide how to solve not me.

  831.  @BaglessUpright  I should point out that there is an interesting study which found that although there seems to be a correlation between schizophrenia and transgenderism the cross-sex hormone therapy seems to cure the schizophrenia. Many transfolk report being crippled by depression and anxiety due to their dysphoria. They claim transitioning cures that. So your claim that there is nothing to be gained from transitioning seems a bit uninformed to say the least.
    1
  832.  @BaglessUpright  Sorry but I'm not the type who believes we need other people to tell us what we can or can't do to protect us from ourselves. With that said I must say I believe transfolk should try to learn to accept themselves as they are. But I know many will not be able to accept themselves as they are. We each need to do whatever we feel is best. That is for us to decide for ourselves not others.

  833.  @BaglessUpright  I'm not sure transitioning is the best solution for anybody. It might be if society were more accepting of it but western society really isn't, at least not yet, because it is primarily a homophobic judeo-christian culture. That also makes it a transphobic society. In my experience it is actually very dangerous to be transgender in western society. Homophobes/transphobes in the medical industry (doctors, nurses, etc) will kill you if you are openly transgender (there is no hiding it from them if it is in your medical records). They may not even be conscious they are killing you. They may do it subconsciously. To convince those people that transfolk really are the gender they identify as will require either more convincing scientific proof or better transitioning technologies. Maybe someday a person will be able to truly change their biological sex to the opposite sex to the point they can reverse their reproductive role. But that remains to be seen. As for me, I have reason to believe I'm actually the opposite sex (female) but have a condition which makes me look like a normal male due to a condition called adrenal hyperplasia. It seems doctors try to suppress knowledge of the existence of this condition. They say it only occurs in around 1 in 10k or 15k people and will try to convince you the chance you are intersex is next to impossible but the truth is it actually affects around 1 in 60 of the general population and as many as 1 in 7 new yorkers or 1 in 6 of certain ethnic groups such as the ashkenazi. That is so common it can't be regarded as an abnormality. It doesn't affect anything except sexual development in most (unless chronically stressed) and so goes undiagnosed. But statistics show aound 30% of these people tend to feel gender dysphoria. I'm not sure how many of these people are part of the transgender community but I'm guessing they comprise a very large percentage of the transgender community and the LGBT community in general. Adrenal hyperplasia is known to also cause homosexuality. It doesn't only masculinize but there are forms which also feminize or so it is claimed (I'm suspicious these feminized males might actually be masculinized females mistaken for males).
    1
  834.  @BaglessUpright  BTW there is no evidence that transgenderism can be cured with meds or psychotherapy/counseling. It's claimed the most effective treatment has proven to be cross-sex hormone therapy and transitioning. But I must side with you in your condemnation of cross-sex hormone therapy because if I understand correctly it is experimental and illegal because proper permission for human experimentation has not been granted in most if not all cases. Dr Will Powers has discovered that transgenders do not respond as one might expect to hormone therapy and has discovered ways to improve results but this is all still experimental. I like many was given finasteride as an antiandrogen and suffered post-finasteride syndrome without being warned of that risk. I may take some doctors to court over that.
    1
  835.  @BaglessUpright  As I said earlier I don't trust doctors or mainstream medicine where transgenders are concerned. In my experience it seems they have alterior motives. They pretend like they are understanding and trying to help but it's all an act. I suspect they are simply trying to get transgenders to feel safe in coming out but have the intention of sterilizing and euthenizing them to wipe them out. Note that the current revolution in providing care for transgenders began around the time a genetic cause was found for transgenderism. Coincidence? The fact is physicians tend to be terrified of transgenders because they come to the physicians looking for hormone therapy and become homicidal if denied. So the doctors started acting like they were on the side of the transgenders but it's all part of a plan to wipe them out if you ask me. Maybe some physicians are compassionate and really do care for their transgender patients but such physicians are rare these days with many general/family physicians jumping on the transgender healthcare bandwagon if you know what I mean. Many general practitioners now also specialize in providing care for transgender patients. My original point here in this reply was that not only are they waging genocide against transgenders while also suppressing the truth about adrenal hyperplasia they also seem to be repathologizing transggenderism by renaming it as "gender incongruence" in the icd-10 or icd-11 etc. That's a heavy topic. I'll let you research that on your own. What you will find is that there are many new diagnosis they can label people with which seem to deprive them of a right to call themselves "true transsexuals". I won't be surprised if an attempt is eventually made to deprive nearly all transgenders (if not all) of a diagnosis of "true transsexual" and instead assign them a diagnosis of some other mental condition. That is why they suppress the truth about adrenal hyperplasia and true hermaphrodites. It is to keep us viewed by the public as mentally ill imo.
    1
  836.  @BaglessUpright  The point i was trying to make is I don't like how doctors are given the power to judge and play gatekeeper. If somebody hurts themself by transitioning then that's their tough luck. The fact that some people will make bad decisions shouldn't be used to deprive others of the right to decide what is right for themselves. Yes, there should be certain rules which prevent doctors from performing liposuction of anorexic people for example but if somebody wants srs or ffs or a mastectomy then that should be available to them under informed consent the same as any other cosmetic surgery. That means the surgeon must guard against a patient who may be mentally ill and incapable of giving consent. I must say though that I believe cosmetic surgery should be illegal unless it is to reconstruct a person's original appearance after being disfigured by illness or injury. I believe it should be illegal because it subverts natural selection through deceptive misrepresentation of one's genes. I mean somebody might have kids with somebody who is actually ugly and so their kids and descendants are ugly too. You know what I mean? If they had known what the person really looked like they might not hav had kids with them. You see?

  837. They are simply saying there is no hard evidence they are ET in origin. That doesn't rule out the possibility they might be ET. It simply means we don't have enough evidence to conclude they are ET at this stage. What this means is the report we have been patiently waiting for the past 6 months, which is due june 25 (a few weeks from now), won't be revealing the gov has any knowledge of intelligent ET's or that they have ever made contact with ET's. So don't expect the US gov to admit the greada treaty is real or anything like that. If they did people would lose faith in the gov. If the greada treaty were real and the gov has plans to disclose the existence of ET's then the gov would most likely pretend they have recently made contact (instead of admitting they made contact long ago)...after preparing the public for the possibility that ET's exist (as they have been doing).

  838.  @billybatson8657  BTW there is also speculation those UAPs/UFOs are time travellers from a future earth, or possibly human time travellers from another planet after humans have colonized other planets. It is also possible they are terrestrial non-human time travellers from the future. I have reason to believe some of them are related to birds which are very intelligent creatures and have a nearly humanoid skeleton. The bones of their wings are handlike and could easily evolve into hands with opposable thumbs. Alternatively, these craft could be from an ancient non-human advanced civilisation which existed on Earth prior to the emergence of human civilisation. Again, a species related to birds is a possibility but other candidates include a reptilian species (keeping in mind the relationship between dinosaurs and birds).

  840.  Violet Weaver  The hypothesis that UFO's are piloted by time travellers is a very popular one. I'm simply exploring some alternatives to the ET hypothesis. That isn't the only possibility. It is a fact that humans are working on making warp drives and such a reality. Time travel is taken seriously by physicists. If time travel is a possibility then we should expect to find some evidence of time travellers visiting us. UFO's may be that evidence, coming from a future where the warp drives and such we are working on have become a technological reality.

  842.  @HobeyDator  Ever heard of occam's razor? We have no hard proof of the existence of intelligent ET lifeforms. We only have hard proof of intelligent terrestrial lifeforms. Occam's razor therefore rules out ET's as the source of these craft but does allow for other possibilities such as an advanced human civilisation from Earth or an advanced NON-human civilisation from Earth. These civilisations could be from the future. We do have hard proof of time dilation so time travel is regarded as scientific fact and not ruled out by occam's razor. We have no hard proof of any other advanced civilisations other than modern human civilisation which exists at this time. Therefore occams razor dictates that the UFO's must be craft which come from an advanced civilisation existing in a possible future. That is the most logical conclusion. The possibility that they are from some other nation can be ruled out because there is no hard proof of that (only speculation). This leaves only the possibility they are from a future terrestrial civilisation. But not necessarily a human civilisation. They could be from some other terrestrial species such as reptilian, avian, or insectoid. Birds have proven to possess the basic level of intelligence required to begin developing an advanced civilisation so some avian species cannot be ruled out. For example, birds understand fluid displacement and can count. So it is possible the UAP's are piloted by some species closely related to birds although not necessarily birds. They could be reptilian. Birds and dinosaurs are related so it is possible they are reptilian as opposed to avian. The intelligence demonstrated by birds may give us a mere glimpse into the intelligence possessed by dinosaurs. There is evidence that dinosaurs were evolving into bipedal humanoids. Birds are bipedal and they have all the bones for a hand in their wings. Some dinosaurs (some of which birds evolved from) were also bipedal and actually had claws which could be described as hands or at least handlike. There is no hard evidence of humanoid dinosaurs within the fossil record recognized by mainstream science. But there were mummies of some non-human species discovered recently which may be reptilian. They procreated by producing eggs like dinosaurs or birds. They had no feathers but no scales either. They had only 3 fingers and 3 toes with possibly also thumbs and toes. I'll share a video of those later.

  844.  @HobeyDator  There is no proof these are craft from russia or china. That may seem the simplest most logical explanation but there is no proof of that. In fact there is proof they are NOT from russia, china, the USA, or any other known country. For example, there are irrefutable reports of UFO's disarming nuclear weapons in russia and the USA at a time when those were the only nations which had nuclear weapons. Those were also the only nations known to be pursuing space exploration at the time. So we can rule out the possibility the UFO's were from russia or the USA.

  847. Check out this article. https://thenextweb.com/neural/2020/06/19/how-quantum-computers-could-make-future-humans-immortal/ This article is basically saying we can use quantum entanglement so that our mind can exist in one or more places simultaneously so that if our body dies our mind survives. This isn't merely making a copy because the duplicate is entangled with the original making it a part of the original. Entanglement allows a particle to exist in two or more places simultaneously. So if we create a simulation of our mind using entanglement to entangle the qubits in a quantum computer with the qubits in our mind then our mind will exist in two places simultaneously. The danger of this technology is that the entangled simulation of our mind could be manipulated or controlled and this would influence our mind. This would be mind control. Hopefully a way to prevent this technology from being abused will be implemented (if it hasn't already). Such dangers aside, the implication of this concept is that we could teleport our minds (if not also our bodies) into a virtual simulated reality so that we could cheat death by continuing our existence inside a virtual world.
