"different brain states"

Clearly the brain is capable of experiencing more than 1 state - otherwise all experience would be completely uniform

I don't believe that there is something supernatural to which our brains might be attuned

Can we, by meditation or drugs, induce a dream-like state while waking? Probably. Is it beneficial to do so? I am quite doubtful.

I think much human foolishness comes from stimulating a natural and healthy mechanism outside of its evolved context. For example, homosexuality stimulates reproductive urges (and the attendant pleasure) outside of the reproductive context.

The ICJ taking the genocide charge seriously and allowing the case to proceed means that the technical definition of genocide is likely (or at least plausibly) being met


https://www.timesofisrael.com/for-years-netanyahu-propped-up-hamas-now-its-blown-up-in-our-faces/

https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2023-10-20/ty-article-opinion/.premium/a-brief-history-of-the-netanyahu-hamas-alliance/0000018b-47d9-d242-abef-57ff1be90000

Sure is convenient that the Israelis get to kill as many Palestinians as they want without it being a genocide, because the terror group that they supported (specifically because they were too radical for the rest of the world to take seriously) attacked them


How does a complete siege with no food target only Hamas?

Did you read the ICJ brief? I linked it

The court found the genocide accusation credible enough to let the case proceed


From ZA's ICJ brief:

Israeli Minister of Defence
On 9 October 2023, Defence Minister Yoav Gallant in an Israeli Army ‘situation update’ advised that Israel was

“imposing a complete siege on Gaza. No electricity, no food, no water, no fuel. Everything is closed. We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly.”

He also informed troops on the Gaza border that he had “released all the restraints”, stating in terms that:

“Gaza won’t return to what it was before. We will eliminate everything."

I think yes (but I thought voting was pointless even before)

I think the pro-Trump argument is:
1) "we" have managed to rescind some of the ballot-stuffing measures
2) "we" will get such an overwhelming victory that they can't credibly steal it

then
3) Trump will actually reform DC instead of getting rolled by it again because
a)Trump now is more familiar with DC
b) Trump has taken over RNC and now has a deeper pool of A1 staff to pull from
and
c) Personal attacks on Trump have made him more motivated to enact real reform

I try to focus on my own life but I hope it all works out and "we" really do restore the Republic. Any energy I put into politics I try to focus on key actors (especially local) rather than just cheering for my team to win the cold civil war

How to make Anarchocapitalism happen:
1) We need these businesses that provide security, we don't really have a clean model (although private military contractors will likely get in on private business if they see money being made) so we need startups.
2) New industries cater to the rich first of all, so these services should start as luxury services which over time trickle down to the general public as efficiency improves.
3) By anarchocapitalism, we mean the fully private provision of security, not supplemental provision of security in states. Moreover, the crushing tax burden of existing states robs much of the funds that would be used to pay the security provider.

So:
We should create new businesses which provide security to the rich in anarchic or decrepit states. Haiti is a golden opportunity.

Over time, if this can be done profitably it can likely expand to poorer sectors of society and come to resemble the desired totally ancap society. If this delivers a higher level of security even than many established states (not a high bar) we should see defections and secessions. Also as existing states fail (see "sovereign" debt) the existence of successful international companies which provide security gives people an immediate alternative source of security which serves to prevent the formation of a new monopoly state.


I am puzzled by this symbol escaping modern progressive anti-Nazi inoculation

Progressives would probably tear down nordic runes like Confederate statues (or have done so long ago)

Perhaps the association with Mussolini (lacking emotional/religious punch) rather than Hitler (who is basically Satan) is the difference


The fasces is a symbol of authority - the bundle of sticks represents unity, and the axe authority

Yes, the fascists used this symbol, but not only the fascists

On the other hand, USA and EU are indeed fascist superstates, but not because they use this symbol


This treats a spectrum (wealth) as a binary (rich/not rich)

I think sub-saharan Africans would quickly either assimilate or commit crimes that result in their execution


In the sort of community I'm describing I think very few foreigners would come except to assimilate

UK & US in the 1800s had plenty of foreign immigration without sacrificing their essential Anglo culture

On Political Shifts in the US

Inflation/debt drive radicalization and may just collapse the whole thing regardless of who votes for whom.

Democrats are revolving from liberal-influenced welfare statism to anti-liberal gender communism.
Black middle class is already shifting to GOP.

GOP is revolving from neoconservatism to "New Right" blend of patriotism, libertarianism and (paleo)conservatism.
Once Trump is gone, moneyed and intellectual WASPS mostly settle in New Right GOP.
Neocon Jews & WASPs are already settling with Dems.

Working class will remain swing voters as politicians offer goodies but a broke federal government fails to deliver.

DNC will intensify its control of money and broadcast media, fueling further gender communist radicalization.
Democrats go totalitarian or lose elections and reform/collapse.

GOP remains middle class, but GOP fortunes depend on whether the working-class alliance can be maintained after Trump.

Cancer cells (anywhere in the body) ferment glucose and glutamine

The question is what can damage mitochondrial function besides seed oil. Probably smoking, but not many other things. I would be surprised if properly cooked potatoes could do it, for example.


IMO seed oils are a much bigger issue - causing mitochondrial damage which causes cells to revert to fermentation

There's 4 diets. If there's zero correlation between your blood type and which of those diets is best for you, there's still a 1 in 4 chance that your blood type will match the best diet (of the 4) for you. This does not depend on the complexity of the diets.


How about the person introducing a bill has to read it out loud?


Which one is your blood type?

Based on WebMD it seems type O & B are both told to avoid plants which are common irritants (like grains and beans)
https://www.webmd.com/diet/a-z/blood-type-diet

I agree with avoiding those things. I would recommend everyone do so, though, not just people with type O or B blood.

As to how likely it is to be a coincidence: those two types roughly match my conception of a healthy human diet while type A and AB don't. So about 50/50. More generally, the odds of a coincidence are about 1 in 4 (assuming there's no correlation at all between blood type and optimal diet and remaining agnostic about what constitutes optimal diet).

The past no longer exists, and if we try to live in it via memory we will become depressed.
The future does not yet exist, and if we try to live in it via imagination we will become anxious.
The present exists, and if we live in it we will be at peace.

Yet, we can exercise memory and imagination now in the present. We have developed these faculties to aid us in dealing with the present moment and in understanding the present moment more thoroughly. So to form an expectation may be a cause of anxiety or it may be an aid to living in the present moment more successfully.

I believe the key differences are our intention in forming an expectation (ie whether it is to equip us to take some action should a contingency arise) and our willingness to let go of a certain expectation if things turn out differently.

I believe ubiquitous government schools - especially prizing conformity, rote memorization, and obedience - have contributed to the loss of Americans' freedoms relative to prior generations.

I believe previous generations relied on tutoring and apprenticeship to a much greater degree, and the modern "standardized" model was imported from Prussia (ie the most militaristic and hierarchical part of Germany and Poland) in the late 1800s and early 1900s.


Yeah that's Prussian schooling for you. Disobedience is treated as stupidity.


This is a proceeding of the US legislature. The man being questioned is a witness who is testifying that he was involved in a criminal business with Hunter Biden.

My opinion is there's no reason for optimal diet and blood type to coincide, so the core thesis is basically nonsense

But from what I understand the diets recommended are not totally crazy so whichever one is recommended for you might work OK

I am of the opinion that something in the carnivore/Paleo/keto spectrum is optimum for basically everyone.


Do you think fraud should be a cause of action without breach of contract? For example I sell you a branded item and you discover it's a knockoff. Is that fraud, and if so should you have legal remedy?

"Take the shoe people. They like war. It brings business with abnormal profits.
They made huge profits on sales abroad to our allies. Perhaps, like the munitions
manufacturers and armament makers, they also sold to the enemy. For a dollar is a
dollar whether it comes from Germany or from France. But they did well by Uncle
Sam too. For instance, they sold Uncle Sam 35,000,000 pairs of hobnailed service
shoes. There were 4,000,000 soldiers. Eight pairs, and more, to a soldier. My
regiment during the war had only a pair to a soldier. Some of these shoes probably
are still in existence. They were good shoes. But when the war was over Uncle
Sam had a matter of 25,000,000 pairs left over. Bought—and paid for. Profits
recorded and pocketed."

DailyMail article is mostly about a long-term trend over the past 20 years (I would guess due to continued degradation of diet). Strangely, they are projecting cancer rates to increase much more sharply than they have been, which suggests some new environmental factor.

My experience working in the insurance space is that a wildfire can come through a neighborhood (especially in ex-urbs, where people are building suburbs that stretch into forested areas) and burn some homes to the ground while leaving their next-door neighbors untouched. The main issue is whether there is combustible material around the home that happens to catch embers.

This home is a good example https://nypost.com/2023/08/16/house-surrounded-by-burnt-down-homes-miraculously-survived-maui-wildfires/

They have a metal roof (so embers on the roof don't lead to a fire) and they cleared plants / potential fuel from immediately around the home

"It is also widely accepted that agriculture exacted a steep price in human health, an idea that had its origin in separate research efforts decades ago. In the 1960s, studies of societies that pursued traditional ways of life showed that hunter-gatherers were not continually tormented by barely staying one step ahead of starvation. They were even considered the original affluent societies because of the plentiful food and leisure time they were said to possess (2). Archaeological skeletons examined in the 1970s and early 1980s were seen as indicating that health worsened, instead of improved, for early agriculturalists (3)."

Nope, but I think the CIA rationalizes that as providing funding for things that are ultimately good and patriotic. Few people are the villain in their own movie.


“Teacher, we know that you are sincere, and show deference to no one; for you do not regard people with partiality, but teach the way of God in accordance with truth. Is it lawful to pay taxes to the [local magistrate] or not? Should we pay them, or should we not?"


I think they're capable of all that and much besides. You seem to be trying to come up with a rationale that is compatible with the interests of ordinary Americans (at least through the CIA lens) while I think their use of any tool is likely much more based on naked self-interest and a desire to retain power

Nobody is forced to host all content, they are just not a common carrier if they pick and choose (and thus are liable for the outcome of their editorial discretion).


public schools are trying


I do not want to exempt internet platforms, I want to apply 230 as written, which is not the case now.

230 says that common carriers (eg telephone companies) providing a neutral service cannot be held liable for the messages people send across that neutral service. A tech company that censors some points of view is not a neutral service but is exercising editorial control, and can & should be held liable for what they choose to publish or exclude.

The existing framework allows these companies to censor and still enjoy the legal protection of a common carrier. By requiring them to actually function as a common carrier to enjoy this protection, free speech would be enhanced rather than harmed.


"Statism itself is the view that the state is the source of authority, or that its authority is absolute, and anarchy is the denial that any authority is legitimate. Localism is the balanced understanding that authority does indeed exist, is legitimate, and ought to be held in as low a level as possible to achieve an end. "

I don't agree with your definitions. Anarchism vests each individual with the same authority (ie legal rights and obligations) as any other. To defend archism (ie that some individuals possess an authority which makes it just and lawful for them to violate the personal and property rights of others) under the banner of localism is still Statism. You simply prefer a small, local State over one that is large and distant.

Bergoglio is a commie, so are most members of the professions you listed


Section 230 needs to be neutered - with the consequence that platforms which are truly neutral, non-censorship organizations get S230 protection and those who exercise editorial control are liable for what they publish. The current S230 for censorship organizations promotes censorship.

The family does not serve - only the individual members of the family exist to serve or fail to serve.

The idea that the State acts, that it can succeed or fail to protect you or to respect your rights, is a fiction that allows criminals to escape blame. Despite "our" persecution of the Nazis after the war, following orders is taken to excuse blatantly unethical and illegal behavior, as when an IRS agent commits extortion or a police officer kidnaps a person for a victimless "crime".

"There are few, I believe, in this enlightened age, who will not acknowledge that slavery as an institution is a moral and political evil. It is idle to expatiate on its disadvantages. I think it is a greater evil to the white than to the colored race. While my feelings are strongly enlisted in behalf of the latter, my sympathies are more deeply engaged for the former. The blacks are immeasurably better off here than in Africa, morally, physically, and socially. The painful discipline they are undergoing is necessary for their further instruction as a race, and will prepare them, I hope, for better things. How long their servitude may be necessary is known and ordered by a merciful Providence.

Their emancipation will sooner result from the mild and melting influences of Christianity than from the storm and tempest of fiery controversy. This influence, though slow, is sure. The doctrines and miracles of our Saviour have required nearly two thousand years to convert but a small portion of the human race, and even among Christian nations what gross errors still exist! While we see the course of the final abolition of human slavery is still onward, and give it the aid of our prayers, let us leave the progress as well as the results in the hands of Him who, chooses to work by slow influences, and with whom a thousand years are but as a single day."

The State does not exist but is merely a pattern of human behavior (a meme), but I agree treating that meme as a parasite is probably the closest biological parallel. One consequence of this metaphorical view is that over long periods of time States which are less-parasitic and more helpful (closer to fulfilling the security function of the Night-watchman State, or of a legitimate private provider of security) will tend to outcompete those organizations which are more brutally parasitic. In my opinion, this was the source of the British Empire's strength (while ruling, thus transplanting relatively more efficient organizational structures to colonized peoples as in Singapore and Hong Kong) as well as the American Empire's strength (prior to ruling, thus failing to transplant efficient organizational structures, perhaps with the exceptions of Japan and Germany).

What caused the rise of the American Empire?

IMO classical liberalism (government intentionally reducing its scope and enforcing something like common law) birthed the British and American prosperity (industrial might and technological progress) that led one and then the other to become empires. In the case of the Brits, much of their empire was formed while still basically liberal and superior organizational structures were imparted to the colonized regions, especially Singapore and Hong Kong which became fabulously wealthy.

In the case of the Americans, liberalism was gradually abandoned and the Americans instead coasted to world dominance on the back of technological and industrial power. The most successful US vassals (Germany and Japan) were the earliest in US conquest (ie while the US was still relatively liberal) and the most developed beforehand. Japan for example has very strong protections for private property in its constitution, which has led to Tokyo being among the most-affordable megacities in the world. The least successful US vassals (Ukraine, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc) are those least developed and upon whom nothing resembling classical liberalism was imposed.

If there is nothing exceptional about the middle part of North America (or the Potomac river in particular) why should the people there be the world hegemons?


What is a slave? One who is made to work for another under conditions not of his own choosing. And yet you want to impose exactly this on employers - you want to make them provide you with a benefit (paid maternity leave) by threat of force.


It made me interested in reading the book, but not enough to take the surveillance risk of buying it online.

Champion's response is aimed at the three points listed in the argument portion of the injunction but the actual order blocks him from helping people declare themselves to be "non-taxpayers" or set up a trust to avoid taxes. Other sources seem to indicate this is part of Champion's plan. His response does not specfically defend the blocked practices.

Supposing the injunction is baseless and refuses to consider his actual arguments (as Champion himself strongly suggests), this would seem to support my point that the legality of a tax avoidance plan is probably unrelated to the likelihood of "enforcement".

Nonetheless, he claims to be presenting government definitions and court cases in his own descriptions of the book. I am now curious to see what he's put together and whether I find any merit in it.

Also if you (have to) tack on random rules to your system to account for the fact that it otherwise produces perverse results that doesn't make it good or just. Instead it just shows the incoherence of your system.

I've heard intelligent gold pundits argue that catastrophic de-dollarization will likely be a "run on the bank" for commodities as foreigners buy anything real they can get their hands on.

Most think gold won't be the one to actually set it off, but instead silver or some industrial metal. Silver is the most enticing candidate because (if memory serves) it has a lower market cap than gold but is still traded as a foreign exchange "currency" along with gold, which means a catastrophic blowout would also hit financial institutions.

"The sort of excesses of executive authority invited by too few
written laws helped lead to the rebellion against King John and
the sealing of the Magna Carta—one of the great advances in
the rule of law. But history bears warnings that too much and
too much inaccessible law can lead to executive excess as well.
Caligula sought to protect his authority by publishing the law
in a hand so small and posted so high no one could be sure
what was and wasn’t forbidden. (No doubt, all the better to
keep everyone on their toes. Sorry . . . .) In Federalist 62, Madison warned that when laws become just a paper blizzard citizens are left unable to know what the law is and cannot conform their conduct to it. It is an irony of the law that either too
much or too little can impair liberty. Our aim here has to be for
a golden mean. And it may be worth asking how far we might
have strayed from it."

This is part of why I post anti-Bitcoin stuff even though I know most nostriches are coiners. I want to engage with the kind of people who can tolerate dissenting views and who react with argument rather than invective.


I think a cell phone (the device) is good and useful. I keep mine in a faraday bag and use it for navigation (in airplane mode, which still allows it to receive GPS signal). It also has emergency connectivity to the cell phone network (such as 911 in the US). It can record audio/video in case of an accident. It can allow me to receive FM Radio or use the magnetic sensor as a compass. I think to get something like that range of capabilities a lower-priced cell-phone is one of the most attractive options.

That said, I agree with rejecting the modern always-on always-monitored lifestyle. Somehow people survived 20+ years ago.

All my calling/SMS I do over IP and thus from a laptop, using secure messengers when possible. I'm a little less screen-addicted working from a laptop rather than a handheld device that is always with me. I also like being "unavailable" without having to think about it (eg while driving or even just going for a walk). I suspect but don't know for sure that my life is much more secure/private.

Having cut the cell phone umbiIical, I am in the process of de-Googling my laptop usage and moving to FOSS & related services.

Yes, Anatomy of the State is an excellent introduction to market anarchism (and IMO simply an apt description of the nature of modern States).

The most thorough book on (the consequences of) private property is probably Mises' "Human Action". It's been a while since I read Mises' "Liberalism" but iirc that would be a good starting point.

Most (all?) market anarchists / market liberals have a notion of property along the lines of that espoused by John Locke in his Second Treatise (appropriation from nature by mixing one's labor) but many reject Locke's model of the creation of government as being in any way historical (social contract / consent of the governed model). So Locke's second treatise may be worth a read depending on what you're looking for.


Thinking about nostr vs other open communication protocols (especially XMPP or IRC)...

It seems to me the most critical differences are   1) particularity: users choose which bits of content they see, enabling the system to scale beyond a very small group
2) permanence: messages can be linked indefinitely rather than only being responded to or examined "in the moment", giving it a day-to-day rather than minute-to-minute new content cycle
3) fragmentation: replies to messages are linked to the original post rather than being equivalent to new posts, forming threads or chains of conversation

chan boards have fragmentation but not really particularity or permanence

reddit has fragmentation and particularity but is only semi-permanent (because it archives/locks old posts)

I think I probably prefer the reddit model of fragmentation (primarily by topic of interest) than the nostr model (primarily by indvidual poster) but I prefer the FOSS uncensorable nature of nostr and the type of people that attracts


pfp says it all


Quite possibly. I tend to have a lot more trust in fully FOSS projects


I don't think the "authorities" will recognize even an airtight argument for non-payment of taxes. I think if you want to avoid paying tax you need to have off-grid transactions. Especially promising to my mind is gold, which has an artificially low dollar value to inhibit ordinary transactions (eg $50 for 1tz) so even if you do report you can in theory report a much lower dollar value for the same purchasing power. In theory you may have to report capital gains taxes when you convert to paper currency, but for very high income earners that should be a much lower rate of taxation. I'm also skeptical whether converting between one form of US legal tender and another can incur a tax.


I don't think taxation is morally legitimate or long-run wise, and I question whether taxation is enforceable to the extent advertised. Nonetheless every legal technicality I have investigated to openly refuse tax payment has proved fruitless. On Dave Champion, it seems the "authorities" reject his arguments: https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/federal-court-bars-nevada-man-promoting-tax-fraud-scheme

I do indeed.

I'm not worried about hyperbitcoinization - if Bitcoin becomes the dominant money (which I don't think is possible, but I could be wrong) then commodities will trade at a rate that reflects their scarcity (limiting supply) and usefulness (determining demand). I might lose a little value but my savings will still be fine.

Moreover, if hyper-Bitcoin world retains industrial civilization, "we" will be shipping oil and manufactured goods and foodstuffs around the world, presumably in a way that engenders trust. Why can't precious metals be shipped around the world in just the same way?

On the other hand, if gold becomes the dominant money again (it already kind of is, but setting that aside) why would people want Bitcoin?

This article seems to show that 225C for 25 minutes produces toxic levels of oxidation products in seed oils:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3118035/

so that rules out using them as frying oil (IMO) but of course the dose makes the poison


Also I'm looking for specific claims about the rate of oxidation and not seeing a paper on that topic, but I am seeing plenty that claim various connections between (dietary) linoleic acid and disease:
https://openheart.bmj.com/content/5/2/e000898
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10671267/
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4578804/
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3467319/


I don't think there's any point at which seed oils are beneficial to the body
The main fatty acid in most seed oils is linoleic acid, which has a clear disease pathway:

Linoleic acid metabolism is suppressed in diseased individuals:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9722286/

Linoleic acid levels are significantly associated with HNE (which linoleic acid produces when oxidized as in cooking) in both the general population and even more strongly in diseased individuals:
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2213231713000979

HNE is "the most toxic" aldehyde and involved in "important neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's desease, multiple sclerosis and other diseases such as cancer, diabetes, inflammatory complications, atherosclerosis, osteoporosis, cataract and age-related macular degeneration." :

For a USA citizen in a non-commie state I'd recommend an AR15 (plus 22LR conversion bolt) and a 32 or 38 handgun for concealed carry. That will cover home defense, EDC and SHTF. You can branch out with hunting gear as needed.

In a commie USA state you definitely want a long gun for home defense if possible, which might mean something like a pump shotgun or lever action rifle. Your concealed carry will likely be a snubnose revolver. Alternately you might make/finish your own AR lower receiver and pistol frame.

In Europe you may be looking at something like a double-barrel shotgun for home defense but it will vary greatly by country.

Finally in totally non-permissive regimes you're looking at FGC9, zip guns, black market real guns etc.

The ponzi scheme?

Social security is a "pay as you go" retirement scheme, which means the money young people put in is used to pay for old people right now. That's exactly how a ponzi scheme works - the old investors are paid out by new investors. What about the social security trust fund? It's full of US Treasuries - IOUs from the Federal Government, just like if there were no trust fund. It's also broke now. Not ten years from now, right now Social Security is selling US bonds because it's giving out more than it takes in. If they didn't have the trust fund, the US Treasury would sell bonds to get the money. See how that's already happening?

Yes. One example: rather than allow wages to fall (as other prices fell), both Hoover and Roosevelt administrations did everything possible to keep wages at the inflated level they had achieved. Consider normal supply-and-demand price theory: if you artificially keep a good or service at a very high price, there will be an excess of supply and deficiency of demand, a wasteful surplus. When the surplus is in labor, deficient demand means mass unemployment.

This was my intro to the Holocaust rabbit hole: https://odysee.com/@TheNoticing:c/One-Third-of-the-Holocaust:e

My current belief is that tens or hundreds of thousands of Jews died in Nazi camps from allied bombs, disease, and (as the Nazi industrial capacity collapsed late in the war) starvation. I think the Nazis should be considered primarily responsible for this, with the "Allies" also somewhat responsible. I also think there were some mass murders of Jews (eg 7,000 Warsaw Jews after the Warsaw uprising). However, I think the mass extermination program was war propaganda that has little or no resemblance to the truth.


Yes.

But the whole Anne Frank story is irrelevant to the Holocaust myth. She wasn't even gassed to death; she died of typhus like most of the dead Jews in WW2.


So I can see the gas chamber built by Polish communists after the war?


It's retarded to demand evidence? No wonder you believe in Bitcoin


Why do you believe that? What evidence convinced you?


hub/cap


Oh, if you mean that many Jews died in the camps from "Allied" bombs, and (as German industrial capacity collapsed late in the war) disease and starvation, I am in total agreement. I don't think it was millions but probably hundreds of thousands died needlessly. The Nazis (who sent them to the camps) are ultimately responsible. I also believe there were some intentional mass murders of Jews, particularly the decimation (in the precise meaning of the term) of the Warsaw Jews following the Warsaw uprising. What I doubt are the things modern scholars doubt, like the electric floors, the vacuum death chambers, the rollercoaster of death, the human skin lampshades, etc. Plus I also doubt the gas chambers.


Why do you believe that the Nazis planned the extermination of the Jews and attempted to carry it out with partial success ?


I have not


Why do you believe that?


I like Nic Cage - he's very melodramatic but often it works well. I think Ed Norton is more nuanced and has greater range (eg "The Score"). I'm also a fan of Vincent D'Onofrio who can be kind of typecast but has some amazing roles (eg "Men in Black")

I played Pokemon (both the card game and video game) as a kid and Magic: The Gathering as an adult. I advise extreme caution; both of the card products are basically scams. Artificial rarity can lead to spending truly insane amounts of money.

I would look for non-trading non-collectible alternatives. One card game I enjoyed as a young adult was Dominion, which has a bunch of expansions and therefore can get pricey, but it's really nothing compared to MtG or Pokemon where new cards are constantly released and (most of) the old cards lose value. For greater competition in the strategy space I would recommend classic board games like backgammon (which IMO is the most fun), chess, checkers, etc.

Assuming that your child has his heart set on Pokemon TCG, I would look into proxying, ie printing up the card images yourself for (almost) free.


What makes you think otherwise? Perhaps you have seen the photographs of emaciated corpses from the liberation of Nordhausen?


The Jewish holocaust is a key myth for the Statists (we had to go to war against Germany) and for anti-Statists (look how evil the State can be); it seemingly defines both Jews and antisemites.

And yet, upon closer inspection, I am not convinced that any such thing as the extermination of the Jews was ever planned or implemented.

Measured in gold (my preferred inflation adjuster) it's way more than a 30% drop, more like 80%

Verdict: Beef cheek flavor was fine, maybe a touch funky / vinegarey. The texture reminded me of smooth muscle like beef heart. The meat was quite lean despite fine marblng. I trimmed off the associated fat cap which was massive; I didn't see a way to keep part of it on and there was a very tough membrane there as well. I'm attempting to render the fat cap into tallow. Overall a fine meal, not something I'd go out of my way for but very cheap despite the wastage of not getting a properly trimmed steak to begin with. I could definitely see this as fodder for grinding or dishes like chili.

There are two separate scenes superimposed - outside the window and the reflection inside. It's hard to see either clearly.

It kind of reminds me of Jurassic Park, where the dinosaurs are mostly shown in darkness/partially obscured/offscreen.

It's very impressive, but I'm not yet convinced it can do a wide array of different scene types.
