Can someone please point me to the nazis. Every other social media user says as soon as they sign in all they see are nazis because of our censorship resistance. Ive been on #nostr for almost 2 years and I havent seen one. I must be using Nostr wrong.
@Séimí Mac Síomón The Abhartach legend is awesome. I found a few interesting things.
In that part of the world there are constant references to a time when the veil between the living and dead was thin. Its in many different stories. Something had to be going on there.
I found some stuff about the sword the druid used to kill him. The Yew wood is significant and might be the reason we had 'stake through the heart' associated with modern vampires. Check this out-
1- Yew: Known as 'the witches wood' and the wood of death, it draws off the element of water. Its a powerful symbol of death and reincarnation. Often yew is associated with sorcery and dark magic. Yew is excellent for rituals and divination. Yew trees were planted in graveyards to protect the spirits of the dead. Working with Yew can reveal the past, bringing wisdom and renewed spiritual strength. Yew: Yew wood is heavy, very hard and firm, tough and elastic even though it is actually a softwood. It is not susceptible to shrinkage and has good stability. The wood is resistant to weather and not susceptible to fungal or insect infestation.
2- The Celts will also have been familiar with the toxicity of the tree’s needles in particular. This may have further contributed to its connections with death. Shakespeare was familiar with these qualities when he had Macbeth concoct a poisonous brew. The deadly drink included “slips of yew, silvered in the moon’s eclipse”.

Interesting take on #simulationtheory from someone else
The Game should be fun for everyone and easy to exit.
People forget to realize how brutal and unfair this game is. If this life was a video game, everyone would hate it(well except some lucky ones but even they are exposed to loss and suffering) .
it's full of cheaters , full of luck, full of random unpredictable shit, chronic pain and disease and everyone actually loses in the end. Some learn the rules and manuals from earlier age but some realize it when it's too late. Even the rules and success is different to everybody and we can't have a certain map in hand to do what's right.
We all have different bodies, different upbringings, different countries, different needs yet we experience the game that is built for dominators and manipulators.
The game should be fun for everyone and and everyone should be able to exit from it when they are not interested.
But the problem is that the exiting is not easy. I'm pretty sure if there was a red button that made you disappear from life, many people would do it.
So this is not a game, it's a prison. There are many cases people who couldn't enjoy life even though they were highly successful and rich. The only porpuse of the successful and talented healthy people is to just give everybody else something to look forward to. Something to work for. That's how this prison works.
Have you ever seen this. Its a fantastic modern adaptation of a bunch of Poes works. Man it was spectacularly done. highly recommend.
