  There is no greater enemy to logic, common sense and critical thinking than religion. Religion punishes skepticism and logic. In many places you can still be killed for blasphemy. When children discover Santa isn’t real, this should be an opportunity for them to break free of the gaslighting of their family religion, instead many parents double down on the gaslighting. When people are too brainwashed to accept something as simple as “fairy tale creatures are not real” their brains become mush. What would you say if I told you, yesterday on my way home I crossed a footbridge and I saw a man walking on the water. Not only that, the man was a zombie. I saw him raise another man from the dead. We should probably be getting ready for a zombie apocalypse? You would immediately think i was either insane or making some kind of joke. And if you didn’t, I would ask you to give me all your money for my new church.

  One cop is as good as another. Cops murder the poor indiscriminately, but they pay special attention to brown and black people. I think cops who use lethal force should automatically lose their job. If the force is found to be justified, they don’t go to prison and if it isn’t justified they should get a life sentence. One day is enough to fire someone.

  This is just wrong. He should have used a high powered rifle to maintain his anonymity and taken out not just the cop who killed his son but all of the cop’s superiors, prosecutors and judges who failed to hold the cop accountable. Glad he got the bastard though. #ACAB

  There are other methods of operating a blockchain, besides proof of work, which are much more energy efficient. Think of Bitcoin being like a coal fired power-plant and some other cryptos based on proof of stake being akin to solar panels.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump administration cannot use Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelans, judge says⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You can’t use it to deport anyone. The Alien enemies act is null and void. The 14th amendment and the Civil Rights Act make the use of the Alien Enemies Act illegal and unconstitutional. To use the Alien Enemies Act requires that you alter how the laws are enforced according to race, ethnicity, or national origin of the persons being targeted for enforcement. It was originally used to remove people of French origin because the Federalist party didn’t want immigrants from France or Americans of French decent supporting the Democratic-Republican party. (which is now the fake two party system we have)

  Don’t look at me. I voted for the Green party. The Dems and GOP are a single party masquerading as two as far as I’m concerned. The Corporatist Party.

  What do you mean? Of course he cares. He loves antisemitism. Note: Ashkenazi Jews (Yiddish speaking Jews from Europe) are not Semitic people Arabs are though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  650 years ago steel was pretty common. Copper, silver and gold were used for coins and jewelry. Finding the supplies to make iron rods and copper wire wouldn’t bee the hardest part. The hard part would be making a battery. I should look up the Baghdad Battery again to see how it was made. I would probably also have to worry about being burned at the stake for practicing alchemy.

  People were mining, smelting, and forging many metals 650 years ago. The forge isn’t a complicated device. A coal fire with forced air to raise the temperature. Pressurized air can be taken from falling water. There are always bubbles. Leeskalnin’s PMH is really simple. If you have copper, silver or aluminum wire and Iron, you can make a permanent magnet. Moving copper, aluminum or silver through a magnetic field gives you electricity. Bees are not too hard to keep. Make a wood house with a small entrance for them and bait the inside with some beeswax and honeycomb and you can get them to move in. I worked at a fireworks factory a long time ago. Gunpowder is not hard to make. Finding potassium nitrate would be the hard part.

  I would use the superstitions of the people of the area to scare them away from me and my space. I would build a Catalan forge and a smelter that is powered by falling water. I would make gunpowder but not share the recipe. I would also distill alcohol for sale and for hygiene. I would use Leedskalnins PMH to create permanent magnets and use them to make electricity. Electric fences also help keep the superstitious barbarians away. I would also be a beekeeper.
