GM good people.

Welcome - a bit more formally 🙂

The IMF uses language as a weapon. Not nearly as unobtrusively as it used to. The IMF’s remaining days outside the dustbin of history are limited and becoming fewer.

And how is “trust” defined?

Wisdom and insight!

GM to all good people whether the skies are blue or stormy or completely unpredictable . . .

Great shirt - both sides!

I tried to via Strike and got a message saying it was an invalid address (the QR code) and possibly part of the Bitcoin Testnet.

I once considered writing a guide to sleeping overnight in major airports after flight cancellations, but I decided people who have never been stranded in an airport wouldn’t be interested and those who have would prefer to forget about it after they finished their bad trip. Good luck on this one!

That should have said never rather than ever. I’m incompetent typing on a cell phone but pretty good with a typewriter.

No way a federal agency created Bitcoin unless the ass-kissing, approval, and authorization process began in the 1990s.

I’ve ever used Twitter. Or Tiktok. Or Facebook. The last time I watched television it had rabbit ears. I like Nostr.

Look forward to hearing good news about your evolving situation. Definitely sending positive vibes toward you.

Comgratulations! Iron will!!

The raping, murdering, and kidnapping is historic fact - black and white - pure evil. The rest is where the propaganda on both sides becomes much more complex.

Absolutely agree with your concluding statement and agree the topic is important.

Do you distinguish between cellulite and lipedema? The photo looks like late stage 1 or early stage 2 lipedema. That might also be responsive to a carnivore diet, but I don’t know if it has been objectively assessed.

This is a very good presentation with good specific naming of entities. When was the presentation? Has she published a written version or something similar? Thanks for posting.

Bad judgement by the organizers. A request to focus a presentation within certain parameters of the meeting plan and objectives would be reasonable for such an event, but an outright ban is a sign of both ignorance and i. There are many things you’ve said or written that I don’t believe are accurate, but I fully support your presenting your ideas and conclusions to a free and open “marketplace of idea” to live or die on their merits and the capabilities of listeners or readers to do their own verification. The world/universe is big and complex. What living person knows it so well as to flawlessly distinguish among objective observations/measurements, hopes, dreams, fantasies, revelations, hallucinations, delusions, and adequate unbiased proof? Decentralized, open-source debate and collaboration is a good place to start.

Amazing courage and rational action - and I suppose a sort of spiritual enlightenment enabling her to do it. Neerja Bhanot’s story should be retold and taught as far more significant to the human species than the usual historical pablum of conquest and power-mongering by sociopaths, royalty, “leaders”, and politicians.
