"A man has no right to sex with his wife."

How many paychecks can a man not make before a woman will distance herself to reestablish a foothold in the world?

How many times can a woman deny sex before a man channels his sexual energy outside of the marriage (by porn or with a stranger)?

Marriages have roles and duties.

Today's wonderful views on the trail.

So it is becoming a fight over the media.

But anyway.

The candidate is already decided behind closed doors. We just don't know the result yet.

Not sure how to respond to this.

i recommend to watch the video

orthodox jews who reject zionism

quite an eye-opener

certainly, najalt, i talk to jews here, i like some jews, i dont like aspects of jewish identity, i dont like israel, i dont like jewish control in the world

I feel like the answer is yes.

Although it was predictable ahead of time that so many Palestinian civilians including children would die as a result of Israel’s response to the attack on Israel by Hamas, as the numbers continue to add up it is increasingly hard to watch.

Half of Gaza’s population is under the age of 18. There is not much more sad in this world than children, cut off from electricity and communication, violently dying from air strikes in darkness.

And sadly this happens in other places of the world too.

For much of human history, people were only aware of their own local area. Now we have awareness of large swaths of the world, and so we can keep track of tragedies in real time. We then desensitize ourselves out of necessity. Like, the sheer amount of negative information and unsolvable problems hit us through media, and in order to productively do something to add value to someone else, there is little choice other than compartmentalization it. An electrician can’t be caught up in the troubles of the world as he goes out each day and fixes things and building things, for example. In order to add order to his small part of the world, he can’t be fully caught up with its global chaos.

And then, I see these crazy protestors tearing down flyers about kidnapped Israelis, as though that activity could possibly be the best use of their time. People have a strong tendency to want to be part of something bigger and longer lasting than themselves, whether it is their religion, their community, their ideology, or their work. But some people chose such fruitless ways of doing it. Yes, you can and should advocate for not bombing children. No, you shouldn’t try to erase what happened to murdered or captured Israelis either. It is not rocket science.

The world is an increasingly polarized place, and my biggest concern is for those polarizations to be used to take rights away in a more broader context, or to wage war between larger opponents. Politicians will propagandize any small share of “crypto funding” to bad groups to justify more restrictions on those technologies and privacy in general. As countries go through sovereign debt crises, having some sort of enemy to point to helps their narrative for capital controls and keeping their citizens in currency and bonds as they are inflated away. I’ve studied the 1940s financial environment too much to be unaware of this.

Always look through to the bigger story, and ideally with a perspective of empathy toward many sides of any complex issue. Strive to be able to articulate your opponent’s view as well as they can, so that your counter argument can be most effective and surgical in its nature. And then, when there is nothing you can do about something globally, try instead to bring order and reason and improvement and kindness to whatever small portion of the world that you can.

That was hilarious

Self-CPR during a heart attack. Please take two minutes of your time and read this:*

1. Let's say it's 7:25 PM, and you're heading home (alone, of course) after an especially tough day at work.

2. You're really tired, agitated, and frustrated.

3. Suddenly, you start experiencing severe chest pain. The pain continues down your arm and up to your jaw. You're about 5 km away from the nearest hospital.

4. Unfortunately, you don't know if you'll be able to make it there.

5. You're trained in performing CPR, but the person who taught you didn't explain how to do it on yourself.

6. How to survive a heart attack when you're alone? Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack and the heart's rhythm becomes incorrect, leading to weakness, there are only 10 seconds before losing consciousness.

7. However, these victims can help themselves by coughing forcefully and repeatedly. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as if trying to produce phlegm from deep within the chest. Breathe and cough (repeat this every two seconds without stopping) until help arrives or until you feel the heart beating normally again.

8. Deep breaths bring oxygen into the lungs, and coughing movements press on the heart and maintain blood circulation. The action of pressing on the heart helps it return to its regular rhythm. This way, heart attack victims can reach the hospital.

9. Tell as many people as possible. You can save lives!

10. A cardiologist says that if everyone who receives this message sends it to 10 people, we can save a life at least once.

11. Instead of sending jokes, please... contribute by passing on this message, which can save a person's life.

12. If this message reaches you... more than once... please don't be upset... instead, be glad that you have many friends who care about you.

Hold your finger on the message and pass it on...

A minute from your time won't hurt.

I will do so too once I get comfortable with Nostr.... so far I'm looking for a client the manages threads better, that allows Alby-linked zapping, and has a decent iOS app. So far, nothing does all of that IMO.

Currently: Primal on desktop, Damus iOS

Suggestions?

The upcoming FinCen rules will be an interesting test of your hypothesis. If people and companies tend to comply, you’re absolutely right - people just want comfort and safety more than freedom and Bitcoin has a good chance of failing simply because people don’t want to use it when could make the authorities angry. If we see a lot of non-compliance, there’s still hope.
