If you have an Android, get yourself F-Droid, then use it to download one of the free open-source apps that can archive things like YT videos offline. You might also want to download some movies in case your streaming service is affected and you get bored waiting for the white hats to switch the Internet back on...KEK.
Just noticed that the dates on those 2 posts that say "archive offline" have a sort of simple pattern:
02/05
--/--
04/03
The months go up by 2 and the days go down by 2, so if you take it as a missing date in the middle, you get 03/04: March 4. Coming up soon.
My dad is 80 and he and my mom are visiting Mexico. He has had some health problems recently, so I was surprised they decided to fly down south, but anyways, long story short, he's in the hospital there, about to undergo a cardiac catheterization and maybe a get a stent. Insurance and the Mexican medical staff are driving him and my mom crazy. Please pray all will go well and my dad, who is just starting to get nice and based, will realize his need for salvation and put his faith in Jesus Christ. Thanks, all.
UPDATE:
my mom said she just met with the cardiologist and the procedure went smoothly and actually saved his life. A stent was needed for a major artery. Dr said he should be all good now.
Praise the Lord, and I thank you all for your prayers! I look forward to shaking your hands in Glory some day, and hopefully I can introduce you to my parents there as well!
Trudeau has asked the Governor General (the British Crown's representative in Canadian Government) to prologue parliament to give his party time to find a replacement to run in the next election. This means parliament will be shut down, and bills that have been introduced but not passed into law basically become dead. If anyone wants to bring a law back in the next session, it will have to be reintroduced and debated, etc. One of Trudeau's worst bills was C-64, the so-called Online Harms Act. I asked Grok to summarize anyone unfamiliar with this legislation why this bill was so bad, and therefore why Trudeau's resignation cascades to this excellent consequence.
Libertarians express several significant concerns regarding Canada's Bill C-63, the Online Harms Act:
Freedom of Expression:
Libertarians argue that the bill poses a substantial threat to free speech. They are particularly worried about provisions that could lead to the criminalization of certain expressions, potentially creating a chilling effect where individuals might self-censor to avoid harsh penalties, including life imprisonment for hate-motivated crimes. Critics fear this could extend to prosecuting individuals for "thought crimes" or opinions that are merely offensive but not necessarily harmful.
Government Overreach and Surveillance:
There is a strong concern about the expansion of government surveillance and control over online content. The establishment of a Digital Safety Commission with powers to regulate content, impose fines, and even enter residences without warrants is viewed as an overstep, potentially leading to a surveillance state. This is seen as a move towards digital authoritarianism where the state can excessively monitor and control what is said online.
Anonymity and Reporting System:
The bill allows for anonymous reporting of "hateful conduct," with financial incentives for informants. Libertarians find this system problematic, as it could encourage abuse and lead to the weaponization of the reporting mechanism, where individuals might be targeted for their opinions rather than actual harmful actions. This could create a culture of snitching and undermine the principles of fair trial and due process.
Vagueness of Definitions:
The definitions of what constitutes "harmful content" or "hate speech" are seen as overly broad and vague, leading to fears of arbitrary enforcement. Critics argue that such ambiguity could be exploited to suppress legitimate discourse, including political dissent, under the guise of protecting against online harms.
Potential for Misuse:
There's apprehension that the bill could be misused to target political opponents or minority voices, especially given the government's discretion in interpreting what content is harmful. This could disproportionately affect those speaking out against government policies or expressing controversial but legal views.
Retroactive Penalties:
The notion that police could retroactively search for and penalize past online content is another point of contention, as it suggests a policing of historical expressions, which is fundamentally at odds with libertarian principles of individual liberty and privacy.
These concerns collectively paint a picture of a bill that libertarians view as potentially stifling free speech, expanding state power, and creating a climate of fear around digital communication, which they argue is antithetical to the values of liberty and personal responsibility.
I think of these two cities as Satan's playgrounds within America. LV is called the City of Sin for good reason. NOLA is different but the same...a place drenched in debauchery and of course the voodoo is clearly satanic. I'm not saying that either city is 100% evil, nor that other satanic thrones don't exist in America, but I just think of these two cities being linked in that way, that many people regularly visit them just to immerse themselves in a sinful atmosphere. My 2¢.
When Abraham pleaded for Sodom in Genesis 18, God said he would hypothetically spare Sodom for the sake of ten righteous men if such existed. Well, Sodom may have fallen short, but I know there are millions of men and women in the USA who have received the righteousness of Christ. God will NOT allow your nation to be destroyed. God bless you, and may His will be done in your nation.
