I’m not a Christian but okay. I believe Jesus would stand on God’s side and not go against His rulings. When people state truth that others don’t want to accept, they can be verbally attacked. They have the right to say their truth as well.
They will pay. It’s written in prophecies. How can any people who had terrible horrors done to them, do the same and worse to their neighbors? They are hypocrites. To think I cried and was depressed when I visited the Holocaust museum. I’m ashamed I felt that way now, and have no sympathy when they cry about what happened to them, because they are today’s Hitler. They are today’s murderous Nazis.
When God says something is incorrect, that doesn’t change because people have become modern and adapt to the times. An act of abomination is still an abomination. How few stand on the side of God today!
But they already have.
The reason Hamas is in existence is because their peoples’ homes being taken and the Palestinians being killed constantly, for years. What would you do if your nation has lived in their land for ages, and a people came and took your family homeland and killed your family, and took neighborhoods and whole swaths of areas, then penned you up so that you couldn’t exit or enter your country without their permission…don’t you think you’d rise up with some other warriors to do something, anything? That’s what Hamas is. It is not a terrorist organization to go out and cause terror and trouble. It is the fighting representative of a beaten people.
Shunning happens with all society now, for less than this. Except it’s called ghosting. Or “cutting off” of family members. It’s shameful and no different, except we do it whenever we want, for whatever reason seems justified to us, without caring for the party we are doing it to. At least with Amish, everyone knows the rules.
We can’t point at another section of society until we fix ourselves.
I like this but would rather see a multi country coordinated oceanic study. We’re all in this together.
I’ve been with Namecheap so so many years. Highly recommended.
I also had a career in tech. I’m a woman. I’ve been stepped on, harassed, disrespected. I’m just a country girl who tried to fit in the big city. And I did for awhile. But then all the layoffs, and the last company I was at just keeled over from insufficient funding, while the ceos had a ton of money and we had all these luncheons and outside training weekends. So wasteful. Disillusioned, I didn’t want to go back.
I also wanted a farm. If you’re young and strong still, do it. I’m 60 now. We were unable to obtain that farm. I guess it was meant to be. I still hope for a super mini something - some chickens and a coupla goats or a mini cow or something. You get tired after 60 and try to downsize and reduce what you do to just what’s important.
Regarding no electricity etc - be realistic and balanced. Don’t make it hard on yourself. Go get your farm in the country, but do yourself and family a favor and have a proper bathroom, running water and electricity with internet. Nobody really likes pooping in those compost toilets or having to hand pump a well for water or garden 😀 and while you may think it’s okay if you’re strong and young believe me in 20 years which goes by fast you’ll be wanting decent plumbing and electric and will likely be grateful for some internet.
I’m on today but was unable to get on many times. It says to change instances, but with no clue how to easily do that. I could not figure it out - so I just left it do its downtime thing until I could return.
Also, a lot of the posts are weird. Political. I don’t want to see that stuff and have blocked what I can but I’m still seeing the stuff!
When I go to specific forum topics I do want to read, there just aren’t many posts.
When I end up on the front page, some days it’s the same stuff I read hours before.
Some things need to change to make it more attractive to hang out here. Even us nerdy types are finding other places.
Not complaints. Just my observations that perhaps someone can look at as a point to make some changes
I’m pretty sure multivitamins help me in one way - to help prevent me from catching colds and flus easily. I noticed this years ago when my kids were young. I would take one of the chewable kids vitamins daily through autumn and winter. Several winters I did not get sick. I’ve not done it since - every day, one kids vitamin. I switched to adult multis but I think they’re an expensive overload and didn’t seem to help. But chewable kids were too sugary for my teeth. Now they have the xylitol ones. I may try again this season.
One of my most favorite subs used to have the usual lovely posts and interactions. After the drama, one mod just posts a daily question. It’s boring. Hardly anybody responds. I don’t think people are allowed to post freely anymore, because it’s just full of these boring questions. One way to take down your subreddit.
I’ve looked at Obsidian but have you looked at Zettlr? I think I prefer it over Obsidian.
Nice to see that you’re getting your own thing going.
Manually save often. She learned the hard lesson all of us learn. I never rely on autosave anywhere. It does not always do it’s job.
