https://www.britannica.com/topic/Zoroastrianism
What is the oldest monotheistic religion? Zoroastrianism. A cool name for a religion. I figured I might as well go back to the very beginning, you know... for context
When I'm told what to think I always rebel, think the opposite and try learn about the issue in hand. Its my natural reaction to censorship- Totally gfy for a bit and I'll get back to you on it shortly, attitude.
So I've immersed myself in the ancient history and culture of the middle east areas, which was not the intended effect of the censorship I'm sure.
Cradle of civilisation the say. Maybe... but maybe not when you think about it. Its definately the foundation for western culture. One thing for sure though, its a fascinating area with a literally incredible history.
Cheated? I Haven't gotten that deep but it seems interesting to me also that The Vedas and Hinduism are also connected here- This adds another layer of intrigue and also leads to a possible explanation of the vedic root of more global transmission of "civilisation".
You know about the god Maya from india who it seems left India and ended up in.... Yep, South America and possibly founded the Mayan civilisation (much Indian iconography ie St Augustin etc) Ive heard it mentioned that Greece was also a Vedic culture which now makes sense too. So all roads lead to India and Sumaria.
The zoroastrian attemp at monotheistic religion it seems, is fundamental to where we are today and possibly survived and spread due to geographic location.
Is now a good time to mention ET's and Vimanas? :)
I will look into the Avesta now for sure, thanks
Oops, America is obs Israels bitch and there's nowhere/way to hide it now.
The only way forward for America is to move the war boats away and reclaim a semblance of dignity and international respect... But they won't.
My Boycott continues and deepens, even found an alternative resin/fibreglass range. Bye bye Westhmarine... Hello Blue Gee

So has Shane McGowan of The Pogues... So along with Darling and Kissinger, I wonder who's legacy will be best remembered in years to come.

Installed Linux G4OS onto an external SSD using the Windows Installer method. First experience of Linux so wanted to eliminate user incompetence.- Apparently this is unique to G4OS.
So after 4 attempts I got it sorted (I encountered a rare issue according to G4OS forum. Could only find a couple of mentions of it)
Not a frickin word did I understand re the solution. I fixed it by doing a disk cleanup and new download etc and actually plugged laptop into router as per the instructions I only half read.
Funny thing is the error message still flashes up initially and then she boots??
Result- Bloody brilliant. Got a lot to setup still but its fun, kind of, working it out. Comes with XP environment option and can have a mac style space if wanted, with everything in-between. Ttf or open type font supported. Gimp, Inkscape etc way quicker, way quicker all round in fact. Hugely exceeds expectations
Negs? Although it's great when in fully, the Boot hieroglyphs at the start are scarey and always a fingers crossed moment. I expect as I get more familiar it will subside.
Personally I got used to a really stripped Windows setup to make the most of my aging machine. Now I feel like wow... what a step up, and all for the price of an SSD.
Fully converted and props to G4OS
I wonder if there's a lesson here for Nostr re onboarding?

This is really bad news untill it isn't. 5 eyes coming, each from a different angle. US transactions, UK nodes and software, this from Canada. Australia, New Zealand? - Then there's Europe The plot just gets thicker and thicker
The hodlers are the true warriors
The following is word for word, the Oxford Dictionary Online definition of the search term - Why are the British so dissonant when the shit hits the fan
Disclaimer- I'm one of them

"As Sir Keir told The Jewish Chronicle in an interview in March last year, the family continue to observe the tradition of Friday night dinner and attend London’s Liberal Jewish Synagogue in St John’s Wood, despite his own atheism."
So UK Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer of Stupidity has a reason for his sacrificing countless votes with his unintelligent, cowardly, unequivocal support of the Tories Israel line.
When an opposition... just isnt
I wanted to post link from original interview (which describes her as Zionist in the title of search result snippet) but couldn't get access because of Tor ⛔
For extra spice The SNP in Scotland has a leader- Humza Yousaf of Pakistani decent and married to a lady who is described as... wait for it... "partially Palestinian" by britannica.com
In fact his Mother-in-Law was caught up in the war and had to wait at the border crossing for the initial evacuation.
Soo...Good luck with that independence thing Scotland
You see we're not really racist n stuff at all... We're just intrinsically and comprehensively, fuckin barkin mad🌙🐕
I think I saw most of it the other day. It is well worth a watch and covers a little known perspective. Not to give anything away but it is pretty convincing stuff dont you think?
Imminent deal in Israel/Palestine apparently... So right from the off there was always a reason for the insistence on the term pause- Looks like a plan to me. If it is, we should all be asking what comes next and also be afraid of the potential depravity of the planners... We're all the planee's remember.
We need to at least consider possible counter options.
So what if Saudi turn off the taps? What if Russia and Venezuela join in?
The international families of those killed and survivers themselves could almost certainly bring their own and collective legal cases to various courts etc -The UN workers, Doctors/Medics, Journalists and others. Even if they all just attempted let alone succeed, all at the same time. This will create chaos and crazy pressure on incumbent govs and organisations all over.
So what really are the likely consequences to us all if its really all part of "the plan"
Just saying what if
Yeah, tough year for the other half so ready to escape. Snow in the mountains would be a bonus.
Osmo is brilliant and not cheap but def needs to be on dry wood. Went a bit mad with the UV exterior version this year. Really nice finish though and apparently lasts for ages. Get a hairdryer on it to try n dry the wood out
Nowt like a bit of hard manual labour in tough conditions to stiffen the spirit- Theres a reason Rum was invented 😂 Enjoy
Off to get my twice yearly haircut and so looking forward to it.
My hair guy is a fekkin genius of insight and I can't wait to get his views on the current situation.
He's a genuine, unreconstituted Anarcho- Libertarian (that's a bit left btw and he hates the fact he has to add 'left in front of it cus the names been "co-opted by the American right") and introduced me to bitcoin about 6 or 7 years ago. He gives a good haircut too- it usually takes about an hour.
He's self employed because in his own words "I'm unemployable" so yet again I have to go to a new venue... Legend. Hope he's got time for a coffee afterwards
So my haircut guy has come up with a new metric for gauging next years GE here in the UK. Contex he correctly forecast the brexit referendum and the following Tory landslide under Boris the stupid.
He calls it the "Strictly Come Dancing signal" & it goes something like this...
Last year Hamza won when on the night he shouldn't have and previously the great British public likes to leave the entertainers, gays and disabled in the comp and then votes for their favourites when necessary at the end- consequently the best never win- So if you can't vote correctly for a dance comp then why should you have any faith in them when it comes to a GE.
This year however, the public have been brutal, getting rid of the clowns, disabled and aged in correct order of ability as per the way a competition should go therefore his prediction...
The next GE will be a Tory win or hung parliament despite the polls. The reason being, Keir Starmer missed a golden opportunity to bury the batshit crazy Tories by the unequivocal support for Israel instead of taking a more measured, "moral high ground" position because Labour are shit-scared of falsely being smeared by antisemitism again.
This will lead to mass abstentions and a low turnout because the politicians are completely out of sync with majority opinion on the street, leaving mainly the base of each voting for their tribe.
See- I told you he is a genius of insight- The Strictly Come Dancing Signal... Brilliant.
We'll see next year if he was right again

Interesting historic snapshot.
I only watched the first 15 mins so far but can't stop laughing at Britain's "special relationship" with the US which amounts to Britain's giving the US a good rimming whenever it wants one and the US won't starve Britain. To this day the British have calluses on their tongues 👅
Left vs right is prosaic and banal level 0.7 civilisation stuff designed to control through divide and conquer. We're better than that surely... surely?
Time for an evolutionary jump

This is special and a work of art to boot.
Filmed in sepia and very close-up. An entire lifetime of adventure etched onto this amazing face. The light in his eyes is incredible. To have stories like like this you have to be old... 86 and solo across the pacific i ask you.
Solo sail across the Pacific the wrong way. Set aside some time and allow yourself the pleasure of watching this. Enjoy

Religion is dead
Undeniably...
Christianity desecrated by Christians
Judaism desecrated by Jews
Islam desecrated by Muslims
Hinduism desecrated by Hindus
Buddhism desacrated by Buddhists
Nostradamus was right... Again
BTW... Nostr- Damus... just got it. Slow or what?
This is the kind of profile I was hoping to see when I joined Nostr. Thoughtful, articulate, intelligent and as rare as rocking horse shit. User name does not check out

This will piss Darwin off.
If Panspermia wasn't enough, on top of that we have Pandoravirus and then...
"Eight percent of our DNA consists of remnants of ancient viruses, and another 40 percent is made up of repetitive strings of genetic letters that is also thought to have a viral origin."
Interesting 🤔 Maybe this is why some people bug you

Democracy Brit style circa 2023.
Unelected Prime Minister makes an unelected bloke a Lord so he can bestow upon him the lofty position of Foreign Secretary and serve a Monarch in a government which is a vaguely democratic & infinitely corruptible parliamentary charade.
Sooo... If you ever wanted to know why our sense of humour is legendary, look no further- Epigenetics
Israel boycott expanded, bye bye Netflix, funds diverted to products/services/countries with ethics. Wherever possible.

While Israel contemplates allowing coffee breaks in their war, a little light reading to accompany said coffee...
The roguest of all rogue states...
"Since the UNHRC's creation in 2006, it has resolved almost as many resolutions condemning Israel alone than on issues for the rest of the world combined."
This doesn't refer to the list prior to that date, which is as long as your arm.
Cross-reference at will- at least know we know the full scope of their brutality, defiance and criminality- supported/enabled by??? Lets just say, the usual suspects.
...I mean more than the rotw put together...Israel is goat on this
Everything should be legal untill made illegal. This is the natural order of things... Always has been.
The problems come when a population believes they have only the rights bestowed on them. This is dictatorship.
If prostitution isn't illegal then its legal and the question becomes should we continue to have a right to prostitute ourselves? Feel free to interpret prostitution as widely as possible.
Its not easy being me 🤪
Your answer seems to work. Which comes first though (a priori)?
I suppose the thing comes into existence and law grows around it. From prostitution to AI, this all seems to hold.
AI is legal and yet there's a huge rush to "Law" it. Why is the question on prostitution not settled long b4 now?. All I'm saying is there's a natural order and going against that is anti-human expression and requires coercion and control. There are many ways to "prostitute " oneself.
Allowed? Who should do the allowing, then, who are the allowed and who are the not-allowed?
You see whats going on with this yet? The direction of travel is... unattractive let's just say.
