I watched the film Citizen Vigilante, not because I wanted to, but because I had to. If a governments and institutions try to ban things, then obviously there is something they are trying to hide, or oppress. Then this only heightens the interest and inquisitiveness. On the whole, the movie itself, direction and acting, was very mediocre at best. However, I did find the story line and story telling and plot to be really interesting. It does address a number of issues affecting society today. Its ludicrous to even suggest, that the movie will incite violence, especially when violence is already at extreme levels. Primarily due to this enforced and completely unnecessary Multi-Culturalism ideology , which is never going to work, primarily because it is not actually the idea, rather more the primary idea is complete replacement. Trying to block or rule out any debate or even discussion on the matter, just makes this far, far worse.
If I was a German, I would definitely be voting AfD, I like the cut of their gib: German AfD Leader Alice Weidel: Development aid projects. Why is Germany still paying development aid to China? China is now far more advanced than we are technologically. Or why are we funding gender toilets in Nigeria? Nobody can explain that. Or the excessive payments to the United Nations—cut them. Then our payments to the European Union can be reduced, or even eliminated entirely. Subsidies for clientelism and climate policy—abolish them. That would create enormous fiscal room in the federal budget. Then we must limit civil servant status to a narrowly defined core of sovereign state functions: the military, the police, finance, and the judiciary. Nothing more is needed.
I have to say, after going through alot of the raw events of the supposedly high ranking BCHnostr.com users, there is just too much consistent data for my liking. First, off most the users seem Phillipino, which is inconsistent with my understanding of where BCH is used. BCH is predominantly used in : Venezuela and Nigeria: Adoption is growing in regions with unstable economies where low-fee transactions are critical for daily survival and remittances. Central America: The region is noted for significant usage and community interest in BCH. The Phillipines is hardly ever mentioned. Which makes it inconsistent with, why would you get such a high cluster of users in place where the currency is hardly used? Secondly, it seems the vast majority of the users only have the damus relay configured. That seems a somewhat irregular.
The correct spelling is mayonnaise, though "mayonaise" is a common misspelling.
One of the many things I have learned in life. Is never to believe or trust in a person that claims that they are always right. The primary reason for that is, one day they are going to be spectaculary wrong, and you don't want to be around when they are. Its always better, to listen to a person, whose been wrong a few times, but has shown that they have learned from those occassions and situations, and bases their opinions and insights that they could be wrong again, and have evaluated and considered their decisions and opinions on that.
I don't know who needs to or wants to read this but here it is. Over the past 6-8 months I have completely transformed my relationship with my phone and my actual screen time on my phone has literally dropped to minutes a day. Heres what I have done. The first few steps, are unbelievably the hardest to do, yet are ultimately the on paper the supposedly the easiest. I set a fixed time of the evening that I put the phone down, and not pick it up again at all, for me this was 20:00. I put it down, and never pick it up again No matter what. This step is really hard, as I am sure you will find out, but honestly you have to push through it and commit to it. I also stopped taking the phone into my bedroom at all. So literally where you put your phone down at 08:00 is where you pick it up in the morning. For me, this was in my office. The next step, is a technological one, I switched to GrapheneOS, and this step completely refocused my phone usage. I became very much more deliberate in my choice of apps. It's not that there is limited choice of apps on GrapheneOS, and you can get whatever app you would want on your phone. but I also took the view, that I was not going to install any mainstream app on my phone. This is hard to do, but also it makes you prioritise what you do on your phone. The end result is I have 10 apps on my phone, 4 of which I have developed myself and deployed it to my phone. The other apps I have installed on my phone, are connected to my own infrastructure. For Instance, I have Zeus Wallet, which is connected to my own node. Then I have other apps i.e. VPN and Brave Browser. Then I tend change my preferred Nostr client on what it seems a weekly basis, just to mess around. So far , I have circulated through Primal, Dark Wisp, Amethyst, Nostria etc. and I have developed my own client. The end result, is my phone is no longer an extension of me, it is nothing but a tool to enable me to do stuff occassionally during the day.
Volkswagen is reportedly planning to cut up to 100,000 jobs, representing approximately 15% of its global workforce, as part of the largest restructuring in its history. CEO Oliver Blume aims to achieve €11 billion in cost savings by 2030 through this overhaul. In Germany this is a stark manifestation of the wrong direction Europe has been heading in for 25 years. Europe and the EU have been doing stupid for a long time now and there has been an abundance of champions for it. Germans and Europeans need to stop listening to them, they are destroying Europe, there will be nothing left of it, but a third world shit hole replica. China has successfully been played the EU for fools, and judging by the gormless leaders this will continue.
When an argument or debate descends into name calling and questioning intelligence capability of participants, then you know its pretty much over and both sides are actually just declaring they have no fucking clue.
The Labour & Conservative Parties are nothing but wings of the same United Nations conglomerate, Evil Bureaucrats with nothing but a record of failure
