I'm thinking a new npub called "flerf smerf" could be fun, if its not already taken
One more step to the eschaton.
Are the nephilim still around?
Also, I don't "believe" anything. I construct my world as a language of faith. Belief is irrelevant. Most people think faith and belief are equivalent ; they are not. They are tangential at best.
I watched the video you linked about the earth being flat. It's not that no one can debate that guy - it's just too much work. If we have to return to the most basic premises, then that's a philosophical debate. If the strategy of a debater is to outlast his opponent by making extravagant demands and more assertions than can be handled by one person, then the result will be that no one wants to engage in debate. That doesn't make him the victor - it makes him dishonest.
And frankly, flat earth is just lazy. There are very good alternative ways to explain the earth, which would be philosophically consistent with observation while not being materialist. I can and do regularly offer alternative explanations. That's not because I believe the alternative explanation, but rather because being fully sovereign requires the ability to invent my own language of metaphysic.
There is an easy way you can spot falsehood - just see if you can develop the model further. Reality is continuous ; communication, and thus models, are discreet. A perfectly accurate model would allow infinite detail - that's not possible, but you can apply the concept in the other direction. If a model has a cut off point, where further building is impossible, then its wrong. Flat earth is rationally wrong (rationally flat, lol) in probably an infinite number of ways, and failure to find any of these ways is proof of laziness.
Its good that you are on alert against psyops, but what's the most obvious target for a psyop? Its the people looking for psyops. They got you. Both possible outcomes are acceptable to them : either you relegate yourself to non-credibility, or lots of people actually believe the psyop and then they have greater flexibility in their actions.
Nukes are real. Someone in my family worked on the Manhattan Project.
The real psyop is how they've memory holed the fact that they nuked the city that was nicknamed "the capital of Christianity in Asia" - Nagasaki. Its a lot less Christian now. They literally targeted the cathedral in their sights to drop the bomb. There were actual military targets nearby that would have made sense ; there were even other cities that would have made more sense. They nuked that city because it was Christian.
This one resonated with me because of the value of "no." A person's ability to be their own person begins with No. But the placing of the No matters - slave morality says No to the self, drawing a circle around self and dividing self from other, but choosing to deny self in favor of other. Master morality says Yes to self, and Yes to other, but it begins with the ability to say No.
Or in vastly simpler terms : those who go along to get along are slaves.

This is almost (but not quite) proof that the democrats have been rigging elections at the state level
One of the interesting things is how "blue" states voted for Trump. Hawaii is a perfect example. Democrats control every institution in Hawaii, without exception. Its a one party state, like China. But the people tell a different story. Its a very strong indication that their state level institutions are being rigged.
This map is fascinating, and I keep referring back to it. Places that I thought were woke deadzones now appear to be travel options again. I don't identify as red, but blue is a legit safety concern.
If you find an answer, let me know. I know onions relax the veins, allowing better flow and decreasing blood pressure. But directly thinning the blood, idk.
I've read/heard that leg strength is linked to heart health - specifically the thighs. Whether that's causative, idk. But I do squats and I feel stronger when I do than when I don't. I'm also a big fan of holding a weight while squatting.

Uruguay is a good candidate to move to. If I'm not confusing it with Paraguay... Entirely possible. Living near ranchers is a good strategy for quality of life.
That's the life... I need to get to that style of living
Heard "Poyais" mentioned, and found an awesome bit of economic history. Poyais is a fictional country and part of the grandest scam in history. It is blamed for the crash of 1825, which is supposedly the first crash in the repeating boom-bust cycle that we're still in.
After reading the wikipedia entry for it, I am even more convinced that the business of lending should be illegal. Not that lending should be illegal - but doing so as a business, meaning banks. They had hard money, but bank issued credit and paper, despite being built atop equity, allowed them to expand and contract the money supply.
Hard money isn't enough. Its a piece, but not the whole solution. Banks can't be allowed.
