Well said! Thank you, fren. ☦🙏
It's a cult, 100%.
I think a lot of folks regard addiction as something "other people" deal with, but the reality is very few of us are not addicted to something.
You are struggling with temptation unique to you, although the addiction itself might be something many have. It doesn't matter. Except that it does, because this is your struggle. Something about this addiction is what the evil in this world thinks can prevent you from loving God, loving your best self, and getting better. Don't let that evil think you are weak to it. There is inherent strength within you.
I think there is no easy "fix". That being said, however, every stumble and every fall matters, because you work to say no the next time. And the next. And the next, with the knowledge that at some point you stumble less. I feel very strongly that having a bible next to you (you don't have to read it) and/or saying "Lord, have mercy" as my times as needed can give you a fighting chance to rebuke your temptation.
I am dealing with my own tempations, and they have a weird way of hitting you at your worst. Be prepared for it, and try to avoid the "triggers" to your particular addiction. Others here have made very good suggestions as well.
Good luck, Fren, and God Bless.
I'm 32 years old and let me start by saying: moving helps, but be careful where you go. Truly "Red" states have their blue cities, and the culture can be equally oppressive. Instead, look for the kind of community you hope to live, grow, and eventually grow old in. That's the place (likely "Red" but also very rural) where you'll do better.
That being said, no amount of moving or speaking up will alleviate the sheer existential frustration that sits like an albatross on many of our shoulders. That battle is an internal one, so is my thinking. I wish you luck on this journey! Let us know how it goes. 🙏
Looks like the original link has a zero at the end, which leads to the 404.
Story removed? Link sends me to a 404.
I am also curious about this. I've bought some silver and "junk" silver, but I have to buy in small amounts over time. I started late, too (only in the past year). Would it make sense to pull cash out in the meantime?
There are no words. He was, and still is, beautiful whether on Earth or in Heaven. What a joy to have known him! 🙏
All of these "___ Lives Matter" groups are a way to invigorate the mindless masses (like they were trained) toward a revolution that never ends. The Jewish ones or the Asian ones only count, by their estimation, when politically relevant or with enough emotional appeal.
Pick your easiest-to-marginalize group and say "no one can be equal unless ____ lives matter", and there you have it. Some bogus power oppression system exists because "we" said so, and the only way to kinda-sorta make up for it is to raise _____ group up. How? Give them money, power, and authority over everyone else. Anything you say against it is "racist", etc. Your opinion doesn't matter if you disagree, even if you are Black or Jewish or Asian. Why? Because you, by disagreeing, have clearly bought into the existing power structure. You are also a problem.
To them, "White Lives" will never matter, because they're at the top of this supposed power structure that exists. Always. Forever. There is no world where, even if the power structure was inverted, white lives would matter.
It's Marxism at its finest, pulling at moral threads and using grey-area examples where their chosen group has been oppressed to appeal to large groups. Common ground doesn't exist, and violence is an approved tool against those who dissent.
You might roll your eyes at this, but it's the kiddos drinking the kool-aide who are at the tip of this Marxist spear. We need to destroy these sicko schools that teach this crap, including CRT and SEL. Save the next generation, before it's too late!
Top comment from someone on this article's site named 444Gem is... a lot. It's mostly jibber-jabber to me, but it is fascinating:
His tattoo is a demonstration of high initiation into The Mysteries of The Dragons.
At its simplest, he is representing the four zodiacal signs (“the four living animals” of revelations) on the current cosmic wheel, which are the lines that cross the circle into four quadrants.
It refers to procession of the equinoxes; that is the Earth wobbles on its axis very very slowly like a spun top, making 1 full revolution every 25,920 years = 6066*(6+6), rotating one zodiacal sign, approximately 30 degrees, every 2160 years = 6066 years, or approximately moving 1 degree every 72 years = 6*(6+6). This is what biblical texts termed the “Mark of The Beast and the number of his name,” 666 being the most important number of the Luciferian Astrotheological Solar Worshippers’ religious system, relating to procession of the equinoxes.
The cross in the circle on his arm shows which zodiac signs are currently present at the equinoxes and solstices, which slowly rotate counterclockwise.
The sign of the spring equinox is the “sign of the age” in Luciferian Astrotheology. His tattoo references that currently we are entering into Aquarius at the spring equinox (you can see it is displaced off the line by about one degree), which thus also places Scorpio on the winter solstice line (90 degrees left) and his personal ruling sign Saggitarius in the middle of the two being a personal ID on the insignia.
He then references Taurus, which is now entering the summer solstice, with the hand signal of the horns. The enormous reference to Leo the Lion, which is now on the fall equinox is clear: on the left, during the black shaded half (the dark period), it is young and vengeful, and on the right white shaded portion (black and white dualism of free masonry) it is old and peaceful.
This tattoo references the ancient history of the Younger Dryas Cat-Astro-Phi mythologised in the biblical story of Noah, which occurred 12800-9700 years ago during the Time period called “the age of Leo,” when Leo was in the spring equinox.
This Cat-Astro-Phi of the Younger Dryas led to glaciers melting and then the sea level to rise some 4-600 feet, Thus destroying all coastal civilisations at that time, mythologised as Atlantis, the Dragons first Luciferian civilisation. This is the reference to the waters at the bottom of the tattoo and the sun symbol of Atlantis, which you can see I’m on old Egyptian scarab eagle sun hieroglyphs.
It also references The Dragon’s prophecy that they would return to their former glory they had obtained before the destruction of their civilisation once Leo reached the fall equinox, and Aquarius arrived at the spring equinox, which is N0W, during the rise of the NW0.
It is a prophecy of inversion and the coming N3w W0rld 0rder with Astro theology of The Dragons, the mark of The Beast.
Recently released from Reiner Fullmich, a Pfizer-specific interview with investigative journalist Sonia Elijah: https://odysee.com/@Corona-Investigative-Committee:5/Session-113-Sonia-ElijahOdysee:d
Highlights from his TG channel:
Internal emails from politicians to the EMA (European Medical Agency), including:
-Pfizer chief exec Albert Bourla put pressure on the EMA in available, private emails
-Concerns about vaccine safety were shown to have been suppressed weeks before conditional marketing approval, for fear of political fallout.
-The reduction of production quality standards in order for mRNA injection products to pass.
-The risk of uncontrolled aberrant protein formation by damaged mRNA strands was prev known and not thoroughly assessed.
-Already known about foreign particles in the batches before conditional approval.
-Conflicts of interest as the EMA: Chief was previously chairwoman in pharmaceutical industry.
So. Expiry dates are the tip of a very large, very disturbing iceberg. It is my belief that the jabs are not, and never will be, "safe". I don't think we'll see the last of adverse events for years -- perhaps decades even -- to come. Everyone (and I do mean "everyone") I have met who is jabbed (once, twice, or more) has had an adverse reaction of some kind, including cancer. 😢
Similarly, I'm going to attempt to start with this one, but I don't know if I can guarantee my participation immediately. Life-stuff is picking up right about now...
Reuters is so... ick.
Take part of the quote above: "[...] not getting their news needs met"
What they mean: people aren't consuming our blatant propaganda like they used to.
It's an almost true article, but they had to make it about C19, didn't they? "[M]ore or less accurate" my foot.
My recommendation would be to find a CS program that isn't going to make you go through the all-too-common humanities / diversity courses. Most, if not all, Bachelor's programs will make you do this. And colleges don't like admitting folks who are only interested in a class here or there.
Many are starting to add inclusivity crap into their formal coursework, too, which is a mess. STEM fields are not immune. Instead, maybe an accelerated course through an online program at a community or tech college? Those have a better chance of being genuinely useful. If you can learn on your own instead, that's the best way to do it imho.

Don't forget James Lindsay and his 3-part series decoding Queer Theory for the Marxist BS it actually is:

The whole website is great, honestly.
I've never invested in anything stock market-wise. How does a noob dive into this? Do you go through someone or Robinhood it (not that I'd use Robinhood)? Any advice for the curious?
Oooh, lucky! 🤞 you never have to.
Dr Sherri Tenpenny talks a lot about this, and was quite vocal during the rollout. I don't think it's so much a failure to articulate, but that she was on limited time to offer guidance here. She's very active on Telegram, if you're interested.
Very well said! I couldn't agree more.
The next couple of years are going to be crucial. I have a lot of hope that team Q and the (real) President can pull off a win for us all. Without the USA, where do we go?
In many ways, I think it's time to stop worrying about what the jabbed people can do to get help. They need to start helping themselves.
That said, for those who remain un-jabbed, there are many scary realities. I know several vaxxed folks donating blood, and the vaxxed are making up a majority of the hospital population.
In an emergency, where do we (the non-jabbed) go? How do we protect ourselves, with no one around to defend our personal rights in a medical setting? What plans should we have in place?
There have been several good threads about these questions here on GAW, but it's on my mind a lot now.
Go OK! I wish all States were this invested in securing their elections and keeping them as honest as possible. It might not be perfect in OK, but it's certainly better there than -- for example -- Nevada where I'm at.
I've never understood the sheer determination to prove e-voting systems are super-duper secure.
So what if the hand recount proves the e-tally, if the ballots (e.g. mail-in) are fraudulent? Or the ones set aside for adjudication are fraudulently changed? I think we could all go on about how elections have been rigged for a long time.
I dunno, maybe Oklahoma has very secure elections. But also, maybe they didn't get up to any shenanigans in this primary specifically to produce this story.
One election does not a secure voting system prove.
I don't know if I completely understand the mechanism by which someone can catch the 'Vid twice, but I do think you've probably gotten walloped by something nasty. I also get sinus infections fairly regularly (once a year or so), so I take an OTC allergy pill to help with that (store brand Xyzal, a levocetirizine).
Here's what I have for vitamins, which I take daily: Vit C, D3, NAC, Quercetin, Zinc, and Olive Leaf Extract (free radical scavenger). I also have quinine and magnesium potassium aspartate, which I take every once in a while. I also have the horse paste, which I take prophylactically every now and again (as appropriate & with proper dosing) which kicks any sign of sniffles.
Quercetin is awesome because it helps the body absorb the Zinc (Quinine does this, too). Without these "Zinc Ionophores" the body struggles to absorb Zinc fully. u/raver9876 is right: Quercetin is considered an herbal supplement and is not a dangerous drug by any means. You can find it at a Vitamin Shoppe store, and it should be stocked at your local natural food mart.
I've heard gargle-rinses can help remove a lot of viral replication, too, since this kind of virus (or whatever it is) seems to hang out in the nose and throat. I haven't done this, but I don't see why it wouldn't be worth a try.
I hope you and the missus feel better soon!
