Let go and let entropy. 🌌
Where’s the strength in a strike if a court can just order people back to work…?
May it be so.
I think it’s a great addition, but it sure does eat up a lot of space. Any way it can be condensed to the absolute basic information?
This is what it looks like for me on Boost:
We always called them sand fleas within our family. Never really knew what their real name was and hadn’t realized others called them sand fleas as well. We often used them as bait for fishing.
Sounds like something a bot would ask. 🤔
It’s terrible how companies like this can do anything they want with impunity.
This tool seemed so beneficial.
That’ll show’em.
If this article is even moderately accurate, then this is hard to digest. I didn’t realize that Russian electronic warfare was so advanced and capable. It seems to be having a significant impact on Ukraine’s efforts and bodes very poorly for them. The article didn’t address how they can counter Russian EW capabilities, if at all. 😖
You’ve touched on a number of the things that give religious organizations cohesion and strength. The indoctrination is important when it comes to reinforcing those things and building on them. Health cooperatives, college scholarships, support when life circumstances hammer you into the ground… there’s a lot of benefits to being a part of the system. Most people never realize how much they’ve lost by being a part of the system. Why? Because they’re kept ignorant of the things they’ve lost. Keeping that knowledge and experience away from them is important to maintain the desired control.
PS. I’m truly sorry that your nephew didn’t get to realize his dream. I’m in a similar circumstances where I gave away decades of my life to these kinds of teachings and beliefs. Goodness, what I would give to go back and make different choices. But… I’ve still got a lot of years left, so I’m trying to gain my footing and make the best of this life.
Christianity is quite broad and this question will yield a different answer depending on the variant.
The example tract you shared looks like a Chick tract (or similar). That’s a specific breed of American Evangelicalism. Unfortunately, the number of followers in this brand of theology is quite numerous in the United States.
Evangelicals are definitely proponents of education, but very specifically things that align with their theology. So education in dogma, apologetics, and their brand of theology is heavily pushed.
Unfortunately, education in the sciences (particularly biology) is actively fought against because their theology and the sciences conflict on a number of matters. So long as the science agrees with their theology, they’re okay with people being educated in it. That which disagrees with their interpretation of scripture, is interpreted as lies from Satan polluting people’s minds and turning humanity from God.
These Christians will always speak of how important education is, but it takes the form of indoctrination. The more they can solidify people in their beliefs, the better and more “truly” educated they are as a result. If you believe in the sciences of evolutionary biology, then you’ve been deceived and misled.
With that said though… it’s important to remember that there are quite a number of Christians that are not adherents of this form of evangelicalism and who are strong proponents of the sciences.
Religion is about control. The more fundamental the religion is, the stronger that control needs to be. This isn’t a Christian problem or even an evangelical problem. It’s common with numerous religions and why so many devastating wars I’ve been rooted in religion. This problem is a religious problem.

Yet something else to disable in Windows. I’m losing track of each thing at this point.
I wonder if he’s the kind of maniacal leader that puts maintaining power and control first because he genuinely believes he has a plan to better his people, or…
is he’s the maniacal leader that puts maintaining power and control first because… power and control are simply all that matters…
I wonder which is more dangerous.
I wonder if it matters at this point.
This is a preventable apocalypse. 😖
Is this good…? Do they have enough influence to make a difference.
“People think that when you’re mentally ill, you can’t think straight, which is insulting,” she told the Guardian. “I understand the fears that some disabled people have about assisted dying, and worries about people being under pressure to die… But in the Netherlands, we’ve had this law for more than 20 years. There are really strict rules, and it’s really safe.”
She embarked on intensive treatments, including talking therapies, medication and more than 30 sessions of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). “In therapy, I learned a lot about myself and coping mechanisms, but it didn’t fix the main issues. At the beginning of treatment, you start out hopeful. I thought I’d get better. But the longer the treatment goes on, you start losing hope.”
After 10 years, there was “nothing left” in terms of treatment. "I’ve never hesitated about my decision. I have felt guilt – I have a partner, family, friends and I’m not blind to their pain. And I’ve felt scared. But I’m absolutely determined to go through with it.
Honestly and genuinely, I’m glad to see all that she has put into this decision and glad the state is allowing it. Now she doesn’t need to cause further pain to others through a traumatic suicide and she can gain the peace she’s been longing for.
Each day, so many lives are snuffed out of existence without a second thought. She has given this an incredible amount of thought, time, and work.
Rest in peace, Zoraya. 💜
P. S. There’s thousands of live today that want to live. They don’t want to die. And yet their lives are taken away in an instant. Perhaps we should focus on saving them rather than making someone like Zoraya feel even worse.
The portal is a genuinely fun idea. I’d love to see those all around!
But… people being people got to ruin all the fun. So… I don’t suppose I’ll be seeing one of these any time soon.
Blah.
I didn’t pick up what you’re saying in this particular article.
If so, it seems painfully too little and far too late. More needs to be done and it needs to be done now.
I understand why the relationship between Israel and the US is important. What I don’t understand is why the US can’t hold them to account at the same time.
It boggles my mind how the government of the United States so easily facilitates atrocities. They can do better. They can be better.
When I hear “Make America Great Again”, it seems everyone has lost their minds in terms of what “greatness” truly is.
I don’t understand how they think citizens can be so stupid as to take these statements at face value.
The government gets away with things because it simply can.
🤬
Phenomenal photograph. 💜
