War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth a war, is much worse. When a people are used as mere human instruments for firing cannon or thrusting bayonets, in the service and for the selfish purposes of a master, such war degrades a people. A war to protect other human beings against tyrannical injustice; a war to give victory to their own ideas of right and good, and which is their own war, carried on for an honest purpose by their free choice, — is often the means of their regeneration.

A man who has nothing which he is willing to fight for, nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety, is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. As long as justice and injustice have not terminated their ever-renewing fight for ascendancy in the affairs of mankind, human beings must be willing, when need is, to do battle for the one against the other

Well you just posted about a storm. I'm in the calm, build as much as you can before you unleash the storm.

The dream is free. The hustle and grind is sold separately.

A health body promotes a healthy mind. Bunch of bitcoiners out skiing this weekend. Have you engaged in physical activity yet today? Do you plan to later? I just finished an hour of cardio. I lift weights every weekday morning to start my day. Have to let the body "rest". What are you doing to stay in shape?

The G stands for Graphics. The G in graphics is hard. So I say gif not jif. Though Gin is pronounced Jin. So say whatever you like. I will understand either way.

Good Morning!

Anyone else out there an ex tabletop gamer in their youth? Am I the only one who when confronted with one of these what ifs wants to start talking to the questioner like a GM?

Ok? Where am I? What do I have on me? Can I improvise a weapon? Is my car nearby? I use my remote to to start the security alarm to try and scare the gorilla. Then I sneak into my car and try to crush the gorilla between my car and a wall.

Obviously if I was locked in a cage with one. Game over for me. But that's a highly unlikely situation to ever happen. I'm certainly not gonna pick a fight with one in a jungle. I'm also not fighting unless a small child or someone I love is in trouble.

Has worked just fine for me and many others. What are you using?

Most times people learn how not to do things before learning how to do them. If it wasn't wokeness it would have been something else.

To zap, or not to zap: that is the question:

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer

The reply guys and ratios of outrageous fortune,

Or to take arms against a sea of trolls,

And by opposing end them?

*facepalm* I swear I just got a new phone and have a dark theme and just assumed. Thank you.

Shopping for somewhere to purchase sats in Canada that does scheduled DCA.

And I'm west coast born raised and currently trapped on the east coast.

So I always say nah-stir. And the reason for this is Nosferatu.

GM everybody! Happy Friday!

And crypto?

This all white bright mode is exhausting though. Dark mode ASAP plz.

Avoid this trap with DCA.

I need to find someone with expertise in the field of vertical farming.

Hard work pays off. For the record I haven't shrunk I just used to always by longer and roll em.
