Yea I bounced when they killed the 3rd party apps. I wasted A LOT of time on there over the years tho 🤦‍♂️

Still haven’t found a replacement for some of the niche interests that it scratched, but grateful for Nostr and Telegram for keeping me decently informed

Ugh ffs. I guess they learned nothing from the USS Liberty fiasco. How the US military still supports that country after that is baffling

Bone marrow is the best!

Yes I’m still figuring out the indoor wiring for our 13kW system for the house.

We have a few panels on our travel van with a basic 12v system to run a few freezers, lights, fans, etc

The key is your battery storage, and where a lot of your money will go

Seasons changing. Soaking up the last days on the lake for the year

Nice work! The best videos I’ve found on blackberries are from a farm in Alabama. They have a YouTube called Petals From the Past.

I’ll link an old trellising video but they have an updated multipart series that is really well explained in case you were curious about how to get good production with less of a tangle. Hope this is helpful for you, it has definitely helped with pruning mine and clients’ blackberries

These 10 have helped me IMMENSELY…

How do we uncover the hidden truths underlying the deceptions and deceit filling the global landscape?

How do we decipher body language and understand if we are being told the truth without actually being there to witness it?

☢️

There is no surefire way but these 10 tips have helped me along the way:

1) Diverse Sources: Consume news and information from a variety of sources with different perspectives to gain a more comprehensive understanding of complex issues.

2) Fact-Checking: Verify information from doing a few minutes of your OWN research and looking to sources who have PROVEN to be correct in the past over and again.

3) Critical Thinking: Develop critical thinking skills like understanding human biases and cognitive dissonance to evaluate information critically, assess the credibility of sources, and identify logical fallacies.

4) Media Literacy: Educate yourself on media literacy to recognize bias, propaganda, and misinformation. Who are generally the organizations or personalities that have certain viewpoints. FOLLOW THE MONEY.

5) Primary Sources: When possible, access primary sources or official statements to gather information directly.

6) Cross-Referencing: Cross-reference information across multiple sources to confirm facts.

7) Discernment: Be aware of sensationalism and emotionally charged language in news reporting. When emotions are up, intelligence goes down.

8) Body Language: Read up on some simple techniques but also use your intuition and your gut more importantly. God gave it to you for a reason.

9) Avoid Echo Chambers: Avoid exclusively consuming information that aligns with your existing beliefs. Challenge your own perspectives.

10) Be Skeptical of Conspiracies & Mainstream Narrative Alike: Do your own research ultimately and question everything with boldness. Seek truth in all that you do, if something doesn’t add up then dig deeper.

⚡️

This is not a full list of everything you could do to sharpen your ability to discern fact from fiction, but it is a great head start.

This has helped me greatly over the years and has always made me wonder why they don’t teach everyone this stuff in schools?

That was a rhetorical question…

#7 is huge. Most news wants to elicit an emotional response so our thinking brain is turned off.

If we can remain unemotional everything makes so much more sense in the world.

Also I’d add look for the patterns and trust your gut when things feel “off” (then explore deeper on that)

Sorry to hear that. Most of the parents that I’ve spoken to that removed their kids for similar reasons say it was the best thing they could’ve done, and have zero regrets fwiw

I’m guessing the growth of #homeschooling has certain entities concerned if segments like this are coming out on the msm.

The patterns are always the same when it comes to shaping public opinion and pushing for more government oversight/regulations..

As someone born in #Atlanta, raised on #Outkast as the soundtrack of my childhood this symphony touches my soul.

They start off on #aquemini then move through a lot of the hits.

Well worth a listen if you appreciate beautiful #music
