 What’s your take on Vitamin supplements? #asknostr 
 Be cognizant of your diet.  Supplement any prolonged deficiencies.  Be discerning about the quality of what you ingest.

That's pretty much my MO. 
 Civil War stuff...

 Prometheus surprised me too.  I started fresh from the opening credits, so I spent the first half of the film not even realizing it was part of a franchise, just digging the style. 
 How do you escape the matrix? 
 Timelines are weird.  "The dot over the 'I', that broke me!  I'm done!" 🤣

 Jesus turned (some) water into wine because he understood scarcity & human nature.  Excellent marketing really, since we're still here talking about it, and folks pay a huge premium for wine over water these days. 😏

 There are two aliens inside you:
One is a Klingon; the other, a Ferengi.

 You're saying:  all the silent shit governments do today, we need more of that?!? 
 They'll just do more stuff if they never need to justify anything. 
 Don't be too quick with your judgement. You never know what people are going through.  
 Credit money is compulsory AND it was forbidden for much of our history.  Go figure.

I do miss the other two a lot.  And honorable mentions for  Bennington, & Weiland

 Is K9 Mail still a thing in android or are there better alternatives? #foss  
 I prefer FairEmail.  Paid for it twice, but the free featureset is nearly everything.  Handles multiple accounts/identites well.

 "Would you rather pay for taxes or healthcare?"

Sounds like a no brainer to me 🤷‍♂️ 
 The etymology of the word educate has its roots in Latin with "ducit" which means to lead. The id... 
 Slavery.

2 fundamental things social humans use nearly every day:  literacy of ideas (language) & literacy of actions (money).

We teach just enough of language to spread propaganda, but stop short of teaching enough of it to see past the propaganda.

Much of the propaganda is a narrative about or in service of economics, of which we unsurprisingly teach nothing to students.

The best logical reason for this level of ignorance/ineptitude to persist for so long past the Enlightenment Era where mass literacy was sparked is to preserve the institution of slavery, an owning class & a working class, with workers who truly honestly believe monopoly credits are a fair trade for their life's work.

 Some of Disney's early content was majorly insensitive.  Like casually enslaving dwarves & shit.  No fucks given.

Something tells me Walt would have followed the money though & morphed the business exactly as his successors did. 
 why do people think saying “ im just doing my job “ makes them less corrupted? it’s weird. 
 Nothing screams "I'm an NPC with no agency" like the phrase "Life isn't a game" 

But your's gets really close.  "I'm just a subroutine, k?" 🤦‍♂️

 This note hints at a deep disconnect between our information systems & the physical reality they're meant to represent.

It's why unconstraining dollars from gold (or anything else) causes civil unrest.

It's why erasing history on the internet is common while erasing history in the physical realm is nearly impossible.

There are some places where unconstrained imagination is fine to exercise.  The foundations of our communication and cooperation mechanisms across society, the internet & economics, are not such places.  We need to start re-tethering these things to our physical realm, and get our heads out of the clouds!

 Language Warfare

Like bastardizing the word cache to convince folks dollars store value

Or bastardizing the word inflation to mean price "rise" instead of monetary "expansion"

It helps to be skilled with language in today's era; modern education fails miserably, seemingly by design

 Proven right...for keeping things dead simple.

Folks who "lose their savings" often can't explain their savings at all, because of our rube goldberg financial systems nature.

Bitcoiners simply "have a few sets of 24 words."

What's fascinating is that some people actually resent bitcoiners for succeeding in this way

 Every account switcher sucks. 

Is the Gmail app the best way to handle multiple accounts? 

They... 
 Problem is if I see a note on my feed from AccountA, I want to boost it from AccountB, but not follow that profile.  It's likely more than 10 clicks to accomplish that, then more clicks to navigate back to your starting point.  Some folks would just forego the boost & move on, which is very suboptimal. 
 FairEmail handles multiple accounts & identities well.  I stay on it's unified view & routinely toggle the sending identity when I send or reply to something. 
 Fork the project & start ripping things out if you don't want them.  The account switcher at the bottom works.  But I'm genuinely curious what the reason for your sepwrate accounts is, that a new long press toggle would somehow inhibit your experience 🤔

 Once you glean the scale & modernity of munitions at play, the ethics of an individual murder take a backseat to the fear of not keeping up.  

It's an "it sucks but the only other option is surrender" situation.  And from what I've seen & heard, it isn't an easy thing to reconcile. 
 Didn't all the media orgs give up on journalism and simply start reporting who said what to whom ... 
 This is literally the thing that got me to avoid this kind of media.  Watching a picture of a tweet next to a talking head is insanity, but the "trusted news sources" leaned into that format hard in the beginning 🤦‍♂️
