It was more a counterpoint to the constant refrains of white-shaming "Oh without the evils of the colonizers' oppression, the world would be completely peaceful, and everyone would have perfect lives" that we encounter in various public avenues.

I think the fact that you mentioned colonialism strictly in terms of a shameful and violent thing, made me want to push back a little. Not saying to take pride per se, just to avoid the shaming language.

FWIW none of my ancestors had shit to do with colonialism but I'm still shamed about it because I'm a white American

noice · 2022-04-28T21:10:42+00:00

People that kvetch about colonialism shouldn't be taken seriously. If any other race were the primary dominant seafarers in history, they would do the same thing, except the atrocities would probably be worse.

The statement is true though. Without the GMOs they would certainly use higher quantity and different variety of chemicals. And they make it resistant to glyphosate so that it is unaffected, so that weeds are selectively targeted. This reduces the overall quantity and variety of pesticides needed. It's kind of a win-win for Monsanto and farmers, just a loss for the consumer/society that is exposed to tons of glyphosate because it's in absolutely everything

I can't remember if there is a crowdfunding service that uses Monero or not. I want to say so but I may've been hallucinating.

When it comes to using crypto to transfer money to a community, I think then who controls the wallet can become controversial and cause problems, since it's usually 1 or a few people. This could be the case if you just use crypto without any crowdfunding service infrastructure. That said, Monero is awesome in that if you publish a private view key, you can demonstrate proof of receipt of all of the funds. Then there would have to be some system of accountability by the organization receiving that money, so that it's allocated FOTPACHly (lol). Once the money is in the hands of the organization, then Monero's untraceable nature becomes kind of a double-edged sword, because it's harder for the crowd to know if it's being used responsibly, but it also makes it resistant to tyrranical forces.

It's not just educated people but it's probably a higher % of people who went to college that are this way. It could be related to the fact that the majority of people who graduated college go on to corporate jobs, and in those environments going against the hivemind is suicidal

I can help you use Monero if you'd like. I've never had problems with the official Monero wallet, but I imagine a pain point may be that it wants you to run a full node and download the full blockchain to use it. I believe you can set it to a public node to avoid that - you lose some privacy in theory but you might feel OK with a node that's trusted by the community or something.

For converting XMR to BTC, I'd suggest TradeOgre. It's got very low fees since it's a trading platform, there's no KYC requirement, and they list BTC-XMR pair (including plenty of other BTC pairs).

Cakewallet is a self-custodial phone app wallet that is very simple to use and has both BTC and XMR wallet functionality. It uses a remote node that Cakewallet owns, but you can change it to a different one if you want to.

There are other suggestions here: getmonero.org

I had an idea some months ago about basing a forum loosely on the concept of Dunbar's number - Imagine if you really only interact with a small enough set of people that everyone can recognize one another. Could explore content from other groups, but couldn't interact with it directly. Maybe inter-group interaction could have some type of agreed upon protocol as well.

Could be some incentive program for that, or maybe they'll hand over the rights to some % of the lumber. They mentioned inconsistent snowfall being the biggest problem, so maybe it's just not a viable ski resort and so was sold for cheap

Plant breeders have used radiation to induce mutations (before selecting for traits) for decades. That's not considered GMO since there's no splicing. If anti-GMO normies knew about how totally chaotic "traditional" plant breeding like this is, it'd probably blue-screen their brains

Honestly once you know it's male chromosomes you should increase androgens in the womb, maybe as easy as having the mom take some small amount of testosterone during pregnancy. And then give him hGh when he's an adolescent. I'm not a doctor but I think that would be most likely to create the chad phenotype. But the handsome & blue eyed parts would be much more dependent on the genetics of the parents

This is misleading due to the timeframe involved. Look at the time frames of sampling, consider the separation of fully vaccinated vs other (including status unknown), and look at the vaccination percentage over time from other data sources.

The Minneapolis Police Department squad car has been in storage at the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension garage pending this trial. One day a couple months ago, Nelson, along with the other defense attorneys and some staff members, went there to look over the car.

Inside, Nelson said they spotted some chewed up pills and a full pill. And the state tested them.

"They are in fact methamphetamine and fentanyl, and they contain the DNA of George Floyd," Nelson said.

The implication is that the drugs were in Floyd's mouth, and he spit them out when the former officers were trying to place him in the police car.

The state has given no explanation how the BCA could have missed that potential evidence.

I verified that kare11 news is a blue-checkmarked media outlet in Minneapolis.

You're interesting but misleading.

7500 deaths will not appear appropriately in yearly statistics with around 90,000 deaths/year...

Fact check - False. 7500 deaths will inevitably be part of the total number of deaths for the year.

There are many factors that are the causes of death. For example, under-5 mortality decreased...

Fact check - Non-sequitur. Irrelevant.

Also people live longer now than they did...

Fact check - Non-sequitur. Irrelevant.

The graph is also misleading because it does not show spikes in deaths...

Fact check - Lol you didn't even look at the country-specific data. The data at the top appears to be all of Europe. Look at Sweden you buffoon. No excess. The map and the country-specific data below it.

Also see what analysts are seeing...

I acknowledge that there was a spike in deaths at the Spring of 2020. That happened in a large number of countries, including the US. What I'm arguing is that they handled it in a more sensible manner than many other places. Now they're probably close to natural herd immunity.

With 742/million due to COVID...

Fact check - how do you know that mandatory masks and economic shutdown would've prevented these deaths? From your own data on euromomo.eu, why does Sweden show no excess deaths while Italy, Switzerland, Slovenia, Austria, Greece have much higher excess?

noice · 2020-12-13T05:46:22+00:00

What do you think of the fact that Sweden has around the same number of deaths in 2020 as the past 10 years?

Its both though

noice · 2020-12-12T12:48:55+00:00

So yeah, mostly cases. We'll keep watching the deaths to see what happens there, but keep in mind that everyone is tested for COVID now. Have to see other metrics as well such as influenza deaths and total deaths to get a clear picture.

Also, I'm not asking for studies because I'm unaware. I'm asking for studies because I want to talk about science directly with you.

noice · 2020-12-11T21:25:41+00:00
