Operating systems do fall within the meaning of "Other Stuff."

Other Stuff is quite broad... 😀

I've heard more than once now, just on a podcast yesterday, that digital money, including #Bitcoin, was created by the intelligence community, for their use, and to give them a backdoor and allow them to also control it...

Of course I would expect Bitcoin maxis to vehemently protest.

I normally keep my Uber rides under 45 mins. But for a few reasons I ended up just getting a two-hour Uber from an airport the other day.

The driver was nice but was like, “damn lol I hope Uber pays me well for this”. The issue with long rides is that the Uber driver is far away after the ride in a new territory and has to try to earn rides back to their normal location. He asked if he could at least stop for coffee or something and I said of course.

So we go for a while and eventually pull over over at a convenience store and he goes to get some coffee and a snack. I go out and get a coffee too and then I pick up his tab and pay for both of us. Uber ended up calling both of us for a health check because the car was stopped.

Buying him a coffee opened him up a bit so we talked for a while. He asked where I was coming from and I said Egypt, and he said he was from Ghana. While chatting and me explaining why I am coming from Egypt, he made a great point that in many places outside of the US, family is a big deal whereas in the US, it is much diminished. And as a result, it’s very important to build connections with neighbors and coworkers in place of that. Even just tell people “good morning” if you usually see them on the way to work so that people know who you are. He came to the US alone four years ago so that is something he describes having learned and a strategy he is using.

Anyway as we pulled up to my destination I gave him an unusually big tip to compensate any inconvenience or unpaid time he might have getting back. A few mins later my doorbell rang and he had come up to say was super thankful for the big tip. The Uber algorithm had kind of screwed him over and the trip price (and thus his share) was low for the hassle, and he felt screwed over by Uber, but then he saw my tip which instantly fixed it.

I should have checked to see if he had a lightning wallet or tried to convince him to download one if not, because then I could have done one of those social media “okay everybody tip this guy” posts. :/

Good for you for your generosity to that Uber driver! I have seen personally how that Uber takes 50-60% of the fare, while it's the driver who is doing all the work, using his or her gas, their time, paying for their own insurance and maintenance, etc.

I can't wait until a decentralized rideshare app, perhaps based on Nostr, disrupts Uber and Lyft, and returns the money and power back to the drivers, and the customers...

If God is real and did create us, and we will all see Him and stand before Him one day to be judged for our works, this will be the most awesome thing any of us has ever experienced...

The church is the parallel society created by #Jesus nearly 2000 years ago.

Canadians fell fast asleep. Reasonable lifestyle, no threat of war, 6 month hockey season, cold beer. Frankly, Canadians sat complacently by as Marxism took hold in "government schools", fascist corporations sowed the seeds of what would become the green agenda. Lead by Maurice Strong (of Power Corporation) the communist manifesto took hold. Each "s-elected" Prime Minister (regardless of party) followed the instructions of their masters, the Desmarais family. Finally the groomed drama teacher was old enough to complete the non-violent insurrection and complete the take over.

Meanwhile, Chinese influence had bought politicians in every Province, held Trudeau's political career on a leash and set policy through WEF devotees.

As Fentanyl flooded into the country through the Vancouver waterfront, controlled by organized crime, the governments turned a blind eye. Allowing the proceeds to be laundered through the casinos which now dotted the landscape like McDonald's. Those proceeds were then used to blow up the real estate bubble in the largest markets, only to cash out and return the funds to the CPP before there embezzlement was discovered but not before the governments filled their coffers with billions in taxes from the house sales.

The Plandemic was the final act and enabled the governments to show how apathetic the population had become. They'd line up for an experimental jab, turn on their neighbour for not wearing a face diaper or having one too many house guests. The government printed money and handed it out to anyone who could fog a mirror. CERB was the trial balloon for UBI. Freezing the bank accounts of law abiding protestors, showed the cabal that Canada was ready for the CBDC and would willingly accept it, so long as hockey stayed on the TVs, cannabis and alcohol was accessible via Door Dash (bread and circuses).

Overly polite Canadians found themselves afraid to speak out against any wokeism, so instead of questioning or protesting they looked to TikTok, Meta and Hollywierd via Netflix and Disney+ to tell them what to think.

As a final nail in the coffin, the uni-party of Canada, Liberal/NDP/Conservatives passed bill C-11 aka the "online streaming act" to bury free speech under the guise of prevention of mis and disinformation. Only government approved podcasts and streaming channels will be allowed to disseminate the fact checked propaganda. Canada’s mutation into China was complete.

I write this as a 6th generation Canadian citizen. I no longer have any patriotic leaning toward the dotted lines on a map that proclaim the territory called Canada. It is no longer a land which represents opportunity, diversity and promise. It is a hollowed out husk of its former self, a play thing for globalists and a laboratory for the pharmaceutical industrial complex. Technocracy runs the show, Canadians gobble it up.

Alas people will still travel to Canada with the post card image of the true North, strong and free, in their minds. They'll look past the tents which fill city streets while ogling the mountains. They'll dawn a mask so as to fit in with the collective and stand 6ft back from a person rather than meeting and conversing them. They'll revel in the fact that their currency is worth so much more against the Canadian peso, not stopping for one second to realize that they are witnessing a failed state in the making.

That's Canada... Eh?

G.K. Chesterston said: "Once abolish the God, and the government becomes the God." I notice that many (most?) secularists are also statists. Perhaps the choices boil down to either: Jesus is Lord or Caesar/gov't is Lord.
