Never, never go full McAfee.

Not leaving. Just joking (obviously a lame joke).

I missed that for my entrance.

But will definitely do it for my exit.

How do you find those addresses? Can you paste those addresses into a note?

Dark.

Dark.

Bitcoin doesn't exist!

How can people be accused of transmitting anything, when all that's happening is people are executing code on a giant software program (a ledger)? Nothing's going anywhere!

This is beyond bizarre.

Stop!

If you keep posting memes like that I'm gonna have to get adult diapers.

In a Technocracy privacy is simply not allowed.

This is an excellent site to understand everything that is going on around financial and communications control.

Probably a back pill to swallow. Sorry.

I don't think I'm confused about what is considered animal cruelty. I think most people do not consider killing and eating animals as being cruel. And I think (hope) most people that eat animals do not wish them to be treated cruelly. And I certainly wasn't trying to criticize you.

After posting my comment I read your earlier comment about the someone posting a video showing cruelty to a duck or something.

You rightly point out, people have double standards about being cruel to some types of animals but not others.

In regards to killing and eating animals for food, the problem is the conflation of animal cruelty and raising/eating animals, which corporations do on purpose (they argue killing/eating animals is good, therefore cruelty is good. But of course they hide their cruelty and make customers think they treat them well). I think in your reply you were saying that is what I was doing. This is correct, I intentionally was. That was the point I was trying to make.

Unless I'm grossly misinformed, and as you are probably aware, for the majority of animals eaten, they live and die in tortuously cruel conditions due to modern factory farming processes. Likely they live in pain and fear most of their lives. Obviously this can be avoided if they are raised and killed humanely. So it's possible if you keep the animals yourself, or buy from someone you know has treated them humanely. But that's probably out of reach pricewise for most people because factory farming reduces the price of animal products.

Saying that, I've yet to hear anyone advocate something along the lines of, 'eating animals and animal products is the healthiest thing you can do for your body, but I recommend you make your health sub-optimal, live a shorter life, with a little more discomfort and disease, so as to reduce the suffering of animals.'

I suspect that is because for the most part we believe we are more important that animals, and that I and my family/friends are more important that all other humans.

As for adjusting my moral compass, I'm not sure I even have one... checking online shopping now.

Anyway, after understanding more the background as to why you posted what you did, I'm thankful for you and what you are doing.

Sounds good. No pictures of animals cut into little pieces, for eating, before, during and after cooking.

The opposite of that statement is, 'Want to be weak and feminine? Be rude and unkind to men.'

Cool. Very cool.

I started last week.

O.A. Order through Anarchy.

Bitcoin seems anarchist to me. Bitcoin is a social network of rules without rulers.

And by my understanding, Bitcoin is NOT libertarian?

Just image a night with those two.

Make that four.

Actually, should be a six.

Stay positive everyone!

Someone famous once said, 'Propaganda is to free societies what the bludgeon is to the totalitarian state.' So your suffering from a psyop attack. As you rightly observe, 'your mind has been poisoned'. All our minds have.

This is a normal for bitcoin - great setbacks such as Mt Gox hack and China mining ban. But, as they say, 'honeybadger don't care', bitcoin marches on regardless.

You might be correct, but I'm not aware that, 'no exchange wants tainted coins'. Maybe some, but they're probably best avoided anyway. Perhaps there are others with different attitudes? If not now, in future?

And remember, the future is not assured. And what can seem bleak in the current time, can turn out to be very good. Perhaps bitcoin will end up bifurcated - some locked inside the system, some outside? If you have some in both you might be hedging your bets?

Coin outside the system may become highly valuable, with people willing to buy it from you at a premium. So you might become very thankful that you have some outside the system!

Difficulty spending now means forced savings, which is likely good.

It might be better for travel when you become unstuck in America (nothing is permanent so your situation is likely to change at some point)?

Coin inside the system will likely be co-opted, but it will likely still retain value. NGU still likely.

And societies' attitudes change. What was once was once illegal, becomes legal. I'm sure you can think of some examples.

Have you heard of the ancient Chinese fable of the old man that lost his horse?
