Always have felt that this Biden is an an actor. He never looks the same, at least I don’t think so. Actually, there are many of them that are not themselves. This movie has many actors, even some I thought were good guys and gals. Guess time will tell. Nothing surprises me anymore. Lin Wood has a good take on the fakes.

Wow, this decoding was posted just yesterday and the decode talks about the "Fall" symbolism, and boom, today Biden falls.

I'm sorry, that only makes sense if the only people you see are performing actors and you literally never run into any real people. Your brain absorbs a lot more than your top-level thought process is aware of. That's why we humans even have intuition.

AI/Deepfakes are right now still just glorified algorithms, but they are sprawling, sophisticated algorithms that have been built up, iteration by iteration over the past 2 and a half decades. They are absolutely getting better at mimicking specific types of human expression. Still complete garbo at creation, and synthesis is still unreliable, but if you want on-demand endless "in the style of"s, AI has you covered. It can easily generate 50 plausible James Patterson or John Grisham titles, Photoshop has been becoming less of an art tool and more a collection of advanced algorithms for years now so it can do that pretty handily, and YouTube is awash in decent-sounding fakes where the living Presidents react to Sonic or play Minecraft or whatever. And that's just what normies are doing with the free stuff available to the public.

Seriously, just go to YouTube and type in "the presidents play", press enter, and scroll for days. Trump is the hardest one for the algorithm to replicate, because his speaking style is more explosive and varied than most politicians (so the computerized cadence is often noticeable as not how the real Trump would modulate his pitch and tone) - but if you didn't know better, the Obama is decent and the Biden can be uncanny. It was just a few years ago the Key and Peele guys did a fake Obama video about this phenomenon, showing how easy it will be to dupe - but they were focusing on the visual aspect, and just doing an Obama impression for the voice. That's now no longer necessary.

cold compresses, cortisone injections? My two cents having had it in my knee. Oh, and also volteran topical cream followed by DMSO (medical grade) a few minutes after.

I had a shoulder injury, and accupuncture along with a chiropractor helped a lot. I also took hyaluronic acid capsules with a stop pain roll on at night. No problems since.

Try rest, ice packs, OTC anti inflammatory meds. If it’s a hip, avoid sitting, laying on that side.

Usually when they see the dr, they will prescribe anti inflammatory and other pain meds, want to do MRIs and eventually could lead to steroid injections and possible surgery. They may prescribe PT. It’s my humble opinion that a lot of these issues can be healed without all the complicated stuff. Rest, ice, compression if possible, otc meds and once it’s feeling better, gentle exercises. A chiropractor may be able to help.

Where is the pain? Hip? Shoulder?

Bad video processing?

This Madej video is really interesting. Apart from that, I also thought it odd that an immigration requirement is to have a tetanus shot. For what? When did tetanus become communicable? But in light of what Madej just told us, might make sense. Immigrants going through the legal process, I would suspect, are going to vote conservative, as opposed to the illegal aliens whom the Dems want to grow their base.

We don't know the half of it, do we?

Thankfully I've only ever had one tetanus shot. Madej says that sterilization results from a cumulative effect.

The key point here to understand here is that we are created with a purpose, and that purpose is originally designed to be fulfilled by our growing our own hearts and minds aka capacity to give and receive true love, by understanding and following the 'word' given to us by God. The purpose of our creation is to become a perfect object of God's love, so that God can experience joy together with us through love.

How do we grow our hearts? We ourselves need objects to love, right? So as a child, I have my parents, whom I can love and (as we all know) learn to love more as we mature. (It's not always easy, because our parents are not perfect or unfallen, so they cannot love us perfectly either.) I have siblings to love, and I can grow my heart by learning to love them. As a man, I can grow my capacity to love via loving a woman, and visa versa. Then, as a parent, I can grow my heart by learning how to love my child.

What is true and mature love? True and mature love is unconditional love. It is love that does not change, even if the object of love is imperfect, or changes. etc.

What would Adam have been like if he had not fallen but instead had grown into the full capacity of love? Adam's heart would have grown to become fully mature just like God's heart, and Adam would have come to resonate with God and God's love 100%. If God felt sad, Adam would feel sad. If God felt joy, Adam would feel joy. Then, Adam's mind would become the individual expression of God's own mind, and God would live through Adam, and love the universe through Adam. When Adam loved his wife, God would feel that and experience that 100%.

(This then becomes basis for beginning to understand just who Jesus actually was. Jesus is the one who came to restore Adam's failure, and to grow and reach the original perfection that all humanity was destined to grow to and experience. (That's why Jesus is called 'the first fruit', the 'second Adam', the 'true Adam'.) Where Adam actually disbelieved in God's instruction not to eat, Jesus himself believed in his Father and thus grew to full 100% perfection and completion and became the perfect expression of God's love on the individual (man) level.)

The blueprint for the purpose of creation is actually given to us in the scripture. Genesis 1:28

Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

What does it actually mean to be fruitful? When is a tree 'fruitful'? It is when it bears fruit. It bears fruit when it is fully matured, when it has passed through the growing period properly and becoming mature, it begins to bear fruit.

So that first blessing: "be fruitful" actually means "grow to completion/perfection". If Adam had not fallen but instead had kept faith and grown to completion of his heart/mind/spirit, then he would have been 'fruitful'. His heart and his love are the fruit of that process. He would be the embodiment of God's masculine love. Likewise for Eve. If she had kept faith, not done what God guided her not to do, and grown to perfection, she would have become the embodiment of God's feminine love.

Second blessing: multiply. So if Adam had become a perfected man with a heart fully 100% resonating with God, and he loved as God loves, then how to multiply? If AFTER having completed the first blessing and through perfected (unbroken) faith, Adam and Eve reached 100% unity with God's heart, then if they were blessed in unity aka married to each other under God's blessing, they would love each other as God loved each other them, and the children who were born would have been born to parents who embodied the perfect love of God. Such children would have very naturally grown up protected by their parents, raised in God's full love, and themselves would pass through that growing process safely. Such a family would embody God's love on the family level, and multiply out in to a God-centered clan, God-centered tribe, God-centered society, and God-centered humanity.

Third blessing: Have dominion over the earth. If 'Adam and Eve', and their offspring (aka all humanity) embodied God's love and resonated with God's love, and God's purpose and intent was naturally expressed in their actions and choices, etc, then there could be no concept of exploiting the natural world for destructive selfish gain. Rather, humanity would cherish the precious creation God had given us, and love the creation with the heart of a parent, the heart of one who cultivates and protects nature to enhance its beauty, and enjoy nature, n a manner that would give God the greatest joy.

Thus, be fruitful, multiply and have dominion is a coded blessing, a blueprint for a) reaching self-perfection by faith in God's guidance (aka fulfilling our responsibility to unite with God and his direction) b) multiplying that in a family, clan, community and society and c) living in, loving and nurturing the creation with God's own love.

Such a world would be a perfect object of love for God, and return the greatest joy and love to God. That's the purpose of creation.

What I've outlined here is, I think you'll agree, quite logical and rational. Does this mean it isn't heavenly? Not at all. Rather, when one takes this particular prism and begins to re-examine the Judeo-Christian scriptures (aka Bible), many things become a lot clearer.

Why, for example, does evil exist? If God is all good, he could not create evil, because he doesn't have evil in him, so how could evil come into being? Were Adam and Eve created already perfected? If so, how could they sin? etc.

End: You ask about the spiritual war, and the purpose of our life in conjunction with it. Although there is a lot required to flesh that particular question out, the short answer is, in my understanding, that since the fall of Adam and Eve, God has been directing and guiding a process of restoration, wherein humanity are restored from our fallen position in a fallen lineage founded by 'Adam and Eve', where fallen parents give birth to fallen children and our original capacity to grow our hearts to love as God loves' is short-circuited.

This is why we have to be 'reborn' through Jesus. Why? Because we are born in a fallen lineage.

Gradually, through human history, God has been building a foundation to restore and reverse the mistakes of the original family - Adam, Eve, Cain, Abel, etc. Jesus came to reverse the mistake of Adam and complete the purpose of the creation on the individual level (the first blessing) for the first time in history.

I know you're not a 'Jesus guy', but I've tried to describe some of the key biblical concepts in a way that is less about 'theology' and more about a simple, logical understanding, hopefully to make some of those ideas more accessible. I think folks need to realize that over 2000 years of theological theorizing, many, many ideas and ways of viewing Jesus and the scripture itself have evolved in ways that actually may miss the mark more than we realize.

In my view, the scripture really has one and only one central purpose. It is to open a doorway for people to establish and grow a real relationship with the 'True Adam', aka Christ. Because it is not scripture or theology etc, or faith in these that are the doorway to restoration, but rather, it is the man himself, Jesus, and what is needed for us to grow and restore ourselves and the world is to engraft ourselves on to him, through a real relationship.

Jesus himself said a LOT about how what he was sharing was limited because they could not even bear the more 'heavenly' things he had to say. Somehow, believers fell into a condition where we assume we have the whole picture. We clearly do not. To really grasp who Jesus is, and what is behind what he's telling us, we need to realize that theology is the imperfect attempts of imperfect people with frankly, limited intellectual and logical capacity over the last 2000 years.

We need to become open to realizing that how God understand and intends the scripture may not be exactly what we think it is. Only when we are open to that possibility will God be able to come in an teach us through the heart.

In response to your question re: the spiritual war and our facing evil to develop our souls, I'll say the spiritual war is the one that has been raging since our ancestors failed their responsibility to believe in God and then acted on that disbelief (aka 'fell'). To unlock the doorway for our own spirits and souls to grow (aka to grow our capacity to love as God's loves) we have to overcome the enemy that stands in the way and do what our ancestors could not.

(From a Christian perspective, that means first believing in Jesus, because we have to be 'reborn' spiritually through him to be moved from the satanic lineage of 'Adam and Eve' (who created a satanic lineage through uniting with Lucifer, aka 'Satan') into God's lineage, manifested through Jesus, thus restoring our position, at least spiritually, as God's children. (aka we are born from fallen parents (father and mother) who are all of Adam and Eve's lineage, but through spiritual rebirth through Jesus and the Holy Spirit (as our spiritual parents) we are adopted (restored) back into the lineage of God.)

Once the war is over, and humanity has been reborn both in spirit and in flesh (aka Satan's claim over our bodies is liquidated), then we will gradually recover, over generations, our capacity to grow to perfection like Jesus (Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect. Matt 5:48) and finally be restored as God's family in our capacity to fulfill the purpose for which we are created: the embodiment and manifestation of true unchanging and absolute love.

What is the point of life? What is the purpose?

If we look at any product or work created by (intelligent) human beings we can see that everything is created with a purpose, and the design of the work is shaped according to that purpose so that the work or product can fulfill that purpose. We can also see that the purpose of the work and the design of that work both reflect the nature of the creator. An artist's work, for example, is a visible expression of the artist's invisible mind. We cannot see the mind, but we can perceive things about the artist's mind by observing the work. Same with an author. Same with creator.

So, how about the Creator of all, God? We can see that all things in the universe exist with an invisible internal character that defines who or what they are plus an external visible form that manifests or expressed that internal character. Human beings have a mind (spirit) and a body (flesh). We cannot see someone's mind, but we can perceive it via how that express themselves via the body, their actions, expressions, words, etc.

Animals have an instinct that is internal and invisible, but the actions and behavior of that animal's body or form is driven and guided by that instinct. An otter behaves differently to a fox: they have different internal natures.

Plants likewise have an inner inherent identity, and they grow according to that nature. Tomatoes grow in the soil, algae grows in water.

On the mineral level, the chemical nature of the minerals determine what they are and how they behave or interact. H2O Water melts at 0 °C celsius, but gold melts at 1,064 °C.

On an atomic and subatomic level, the same principle manifests. Atoms have an inherent directive nature that determines what they are and how they interact. That inherent invisible nature is what we call the laws of physics, and those invisible laws manifest in visible form via molecules, atoms, and sub-atomic particles.

How is it that ALL things in the created universe follow this pattern, of invisible internal nature and visible external form? Where does this pattern come from? When we consider that the created universe, including human beings, are ALL manifestations of God's nature, we can clearly and logically deduce that God the Creator himself has some internal characteristic nature that manifests via some external form. God's internal nature is essentially God's 'mind' the consciousness of God that includes emotion, intellect and will (volition). Human beings have this nature because we are created in 'God's image', i.e. we are a direct (and the highest) expression of God's own nature. However, even more essential to God's internal nature is heart; the ability and impulse to love. This is why we say "God is love" because love is the direct expression of God's most essential nature, his heart.

But what is love, and what is heart? For love to manifest, it requires an object of love. A man loves his wife. Parents love their children. Gardeners love their gardens. Some guys (and gals) love their cars. Etc. Love only manifests in the world when there is an object of love. Love is the emotional impulse to give to that object, to invest in it, to see that object thrive, be happy, grow, benefit, etc. This is the true nature of love. What is the most profound, powerful love? It is the love of a parent for his or her child. A parent will give up their life and sacrifice themselves for the sake of the life of their child.

(Fallen or corrupted love is a completely different story, for another time!)

So imagine God, the absolute consciousness with unbounded, unlimited love, before the creation. Who or what could God love? There was only him. Only God.

This then, is the purpose of creation. God created humanity as his children, his object of love. When God created humanity, then God found his own true nature as our Father. God created the man (Adam) and the woman (Eve) as the perfect and ultimate expression of his own nature in the material world, children who have the capacity just as he does, to love, to give, to find beauty in an object. The more the object reflects one's own nature, the more profound the expression and experience of love, and joy through love.

God created the entire universe as the home for his children, comprised of all the elements that would be required by his children, scaled into three distinct 'kingdoms': the animal, the plant and the mineral kingdoms. As human beings, we are comprised of the elements of the material world, we grow and interact with our environment like plants, bearing seeds and 'fruit', and our bodies also embody an instinctual nature, like animals. But we are different from all these because we have consciousness. We have emotions to feel, intellect to know, and will to desire and drive us. And most important of all, we have a heart, an inherent nature that seeks to give love and be loved and experience joy in love.

And, like all living creatures, we are created to pass through a growing process from the point of conception into full maturity. Plants start out as seeds, for example, then pass through a growing period until they mature and bear fruit aka reproduce. To reproduce, they must grow to that maturity. Animals are conceived by mating between the male and the female, and then grow over time to maturity, after which they can then reproduce. Until the plant matures enough, it must survive. Until the animal matures enough, it is usually protected and nurtured by its parent(s).

Our bodies grow in the same way. We are conceived, then born after gestation, and then over time we grow. We learn, our bodies mature, until after puberty we can then reproduce. However, we reach real physical maturity AFTER the puberty period, around the age or 20 or 21.

In the material world of plants, animals and our physical bodies, the growth is automatic. Add water, sunlight, nutrients and food, plus activity (photosynthesis in plants, behavior in animals and our physical bodies) and these will automatically grow and reach maturity.

However, that unique aspect of ours, our spirit, our heart and mind, the growth of these is NOT automatic. They require something additional. We are endowed with that something that needs to be activated in order for our heart and spirit to grow. That something is choice, aka our responsibility.

Why? Because if God our Father has choice and creativity, plus the responsibility that goes with it, we also need to have that, for us to truly be his children and to be the embodiment of his nature. This is why God had to create humanity with responsibility and choice; so that we would reflect his nature and become the perfect object of his love.

What does this all mean? It means, we are created to grow our hearts and minds aka our capacity to give and receive love, by maturing out hearts, AND, to do that, we have to make the right choices during the period that we grow from immaturity to maturity. This is why God gave 'Adam' and 'Eve' the commandment: (do not eat x). That commandment actually endowed them with responsibility. Choose the right way, believe in what I am teaching you, and you will grow fully into complete life, the perfection of your spirit wherein you reflect my nature perfectly (aka the Tree of Life). But if you disbelieve what I tell you and eat that x, you will die.

It was not a test, it was not a trial. It was the loving guidance of a father educating his children on what they had to do and what to not do in order to grow to fulfill their created purpose. Well, we know they chose to disbelieve their father and the choice they made brought about destruction and separation from God and destroyed their (and our) capacity to grow fully and properly in the spirit. The connection with 'Satan' that was established caused a rift within, so that the seed in our heart from God was now at conflict with a false seed planted by 'the serpent', so that our minds of bodies embodied conflict, between good and evil inside us. And our ability to fulfill the purpose God created us for was demolished.

To be continued....

Ooooh, that's a big question. One that I will answer with a few prefaces:

one, like all things in the universe, human beings are created with the dual characteristics of [invisible internal character] + [external visible form]. At some point in the past, humanity fell into a state of 'corruption' and ignorance (described in many scriptures/faith traditions, such as the story of Adam and Eve). Historically, the re-discovery of truth (knowledge) as the antidote to ignorance has progressed along two distinct paths - an internal (invisible) path and an external (visible) path. These are 'religion' which has been the path to re-cover the truth about our invisible internal nature (aka 'spirit') the 'world' it inhabits (the spiritual world) and 'science' which has been the path to re-cover the truth about our visible external form (aka 'body') and the world our body inhabits, aka the material universe.

Thus, one result of the 'fall' of 'Adam and Eve' was a fall into ignorance about reality (internal and external) but another result was a rift or separation created between our spirit and our flesh. Example, almost all humans desire to be better people, but to act out our lives and live as our hearts aspire to is virtually impossible. We have lived in this dysfunctional state where the inner heart of goodness has been unable to live and act out a life of pure goodness through the outer body.

Just as our spirit and flesh are destined to be re-united and the blockage between them removed aka 'sin' (this is the ultimate goal of all God-inspired faiths), our perception of internal truth recovered via religion is destined to be re-united with our perception of external truth recovered via science.

In other words, the two themes pursued by religion on the one hand and science on the other are destined to be unified. We will come to understand 'spiritual' questions etc, to a highly developed level that is logical, rational, and 'scientific', while our understanding of 'material' questions re: the nature of the material universe will interface with the miracle that is God and the spirit world.

Example: We are close to this point on one hand, with science having reached the point where we now understand that the entire material world is in fact energy, and that this energy functions according to certain rules. What we still do not grasp clearly is how our consciousness interacts with and influences that energy.

In the realm of spirit, however, for the most part, we are still working with very old information. Christianity, which developed as an expression of the message of Jesus Christ, is essentially a 2000 year old message delivered by Jesus at a level that the people of his time could grasp. So today, while the gospel has always been incredibly ground-breaking, there are myriad questions about spiritual reality that simply have not been answered, and many aspects of theology that developed based on what Jesus shared 2000 years ago are quite illogical, and incompatible with a modern, logical way of thinking.

Which leads me to my second preface, quoting St Paul.

When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I set aside childish ways. Now we see but a dim reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

What's Paul actually saying here. he is explaining that NOW we (talking about the faithful at that time) see only a dim reflection of reality, but at some future point 'we' will see clearly, like face to face. Now, he only knows "in part" but at some future point aka 'then', he will know fully, even as he IS KNOWN.

This is one of the most powerful scriptures. Who is Paul 'known' by? He is known by God and Jesus. He is essentially telling believers that what they understand via the gospel of Jesus is only a partial aspect of the truth and that at some future point, there must be, there will be, an upgrade into greater comprehension of the 'truth'. Just as Jesus did not contradict the Law of Moses, that upgrade will not contradict what Jesus taught us 2000 years ago, but rather, augment it and raise our understanding to a whole new level.

With all due respect to my fellow believers, the truth is that most Christians think they understand the whole picture, and never really reflect on what Paul is saying here. What Paul is saying is actually borne out by Jesus words himself: "If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things?" Also "I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now". etc.

Those are two long prefaces, but I think they are important for giving context to my answer to your (great) question. To be continued.....

its either sway to public opinion or end up the only person doing what they believe in. hint: public opinion ain't all its cracked up to be.

I believe God created us in His image, gave us free will and the gift of His Son Jesus Christ, so that we may ultimately "come to Him" in a perfect Love only gotten through struggling against evil and choosing to be Saved.

That's where I'm at these days. Good question. Bless.

My favorite got EOS...sad. Princess Connect..probably the best mobile rpg and gacha I have ever played but now it is no more because crunchyroll sucks

I did play a few different games at various points, but they all get pretty hectic if you want to keep up. What is this game about?

Hmmmm...

I put together a few data points: the roles being played, openly or not, by various members of congress; what I think was the very successful operation where McCarthy was nominated and elected speaker, with the certain 'concessions' orchestrated into space; the ongoing and unfolding disclosure processes, including by not limited to: Twitter, Durham Report, J6 tapes, congressional committees, etc.; the ongoing redpill that is Biden (now despised by both the left and the right, for different reasons) and the apparent inability of the Biden administration to significantly advance the globalist agenda in any big way (including reversal of all the changes originally made to Trump policies after Joe got in, but then gradually reinstated during the last 12 months).

I put those together, and I feel confident from a logical perspective that the 'debt deal' thing is not what it seems on the surface, while 'conservatives' go into outrage. I mean, if there is a real (internationally reaching) plan to implode the fiat currency petrodollar system (and it sure looks like there is), then does this deal help or hinder that ultimate goal?

Ragers gonna rage, and outragers gonna outrage, but when the Boss is quiet and tight lipped, smart folks would be wise to withhold any reactive judgments, and pay simple attention.
