The Roman Empire lives on in Catholicism, the Byzantine Empire lives on in Orthodoxy, the Israelite Empire in Judaism, etc.

Maybe the American Empire will live on centuries from now in Mormonism? 🤔

If the NSA created the wheel I would still use it.

I've been thinking about #Bitcoin every day since 2018 and it still blows my mind.

Few years ago I found out that no-poo (no shampoo) method is great for my hair and overall health of my head skin.

For even longer period of time I am using only regular soap bar made from natural ingredients.

One thing I am not able to let go is a antiperspirant. I know it’s worse shit than other two above combined but I can’t help it. I smell like shit even after short period of time. Bad “genes” from my father we can say.

Deodorants do not work for me because they always leave me with an irritated skin in my armpits.

For godsake, do you know about anything that could possibly work and will not give me cancer a few years later down the road?

Cue CCP targetting relays in 3,2,1..

The literal meaning is "to choose" but a more contextually accurate translation for its technical use would be "to innovate." It's making a new choice, apart from conventional wisdom or God's law.

#Aotearoa #NewZealand let’s permanent residents vote. This was my first election since moving here. Very laid back experience. They don’t check your id nor do the require a signature but they do double check the records and have everything recorded on paper.

This is my first time voting in a proportional representation system. You vote both for a party list and for a single first pass the post representative. I like it except I wish the direct voting was ranked choice. Right now for Wellington Central there’s a tight three way race between Labour, the Green Party, and National (the main centre right party). Clearly the vast majority of people in Wellington want labour or the greens, who are in coalition anyway, and not National.

Before electoral reform in 1996 this kind of problem came up all the time just like happens today in Canada, and the UK. The American solution is to just make every electoral district gerrymandered so it’s not competitive. Most of the time when I voted in the US the Republicans didn’t bother to even name a candidate. The winner has had between 65% to over 80% of the vote. Why bother?

Anyway people actually don’t know what the results of this election in NZ will be. Seems likely that there will be an unstable center right coalition.

The Matrix is the most accurate and powerful allegory to explain modernity.

The main difference is that getting out of the matrix in reality isn’t abrupt. Instead it takes a lot of work and time and deprogramming. Shit is an absolute mind-fuck. Glad to be out doeeee

Is James Corbett here yet?
