the forum might not be here in 80 years

Of course it will be, and I'll still be posting in it.

Thinking of evolution makes me depressed. We seem to  be in a retrograde phase at the moment.

No chance, the British Crown is one of the top dynasties that rule Washington, Westminster and the EU.

btw, it seems unlikely that Megan Markle and Harry are of Royal descent.

Wow - so much misinformation and fear mongering. The real question is whether you have developed immunity. If you have, then travelling won't be a problem, unless you hit government quarantine restrictions. If you haven't got immunity, then build it whilst the weather is fine. Otherwise you will live in fear until you do get infected.

btw - don't rely on rushed and under-tested vaccines for protection. At best they will be worse than natural immunity, and they could leave you with a crippled immune system, or worse.

Staying home is the worst thing you can do. Get outside and get some sunlight and exercise, and boost your Vitamin "D". Monkey mask don't do much to stop the spread of immunity. Well actually they do, as they slow down your ability to build immunity if you are one of the few that hasn't built it already.

Much of the housing is government-owned.

Actually it isn't. The arch-Oxford globalist, Margaret Thatcher and successors gave it to housing associations, and they are morphing into property development companies. She also gave a lot of out national assets to the City of London bankers.

I haven't tried sex with a mask - is it better than with a girl?
1088  Other / Meta / Re: Allow newbies with merit to post images on: September 08, 2020, 12:47:55 PM
Posting redundant images in non-social threads can be really annoying, and disrupt the thread. Putting the poster on ignore doesn't always help, as some dick-piece may quote the image, or even nest it. Newbies coming from social media platforms where text creation may be an insurmountable challenge, can bring their bad habits to this forum.

Whilst it is sad that so many people and businesses have died as a result of government action. The fact that many people are starting to realise that no healthy person has died from the virus yet, and massive sums of money are being diverted from essential services such as traditional health care, means that we could end the destruction wrought by the Pharma industry, if we have the will to force changes in the political spectrum.

Right now I am refusing to accept death after life. I've still got too much to do with my life.

The idea was for non-English speakers to create and English language topic for the benefit of this forum. Lets take a topic such as the use of Bitcoin to buy groceries in Venezuela. The poster may be a Spanish speaker with minimal English skills, but his local experience could be interesting and useful for Bitcoin Talk members. He would post on the Fit to Talk English forum in Spanish, or his best efforts in English, and a group of us would edit it and optimise it for him. When he was happy with the final post, he would copy it onto a board here, and he would include a reference to the training thread, and this will avoid an accusation of plagiarism. If it was a worthy topic then he would be awarded merits. The ensuing discussion in the Bitcoin Talk forum could be interesting to all of us, and it would help the forum to expand its international interest.

I've got getting on for 400 sMerits to award, and it is quite difficult to award them. I don't feel I should award them to boost posters who support my medical opinions, and much the same applies to political comments, although not many people seem to consider that Brexit and the EU tracks back to the Knights Templar. I find it hard to find discussions about Bitcoin at a macro-economic level, and my knowledge of Bitcoin at the mechanical level still leaves a lot to be desired, although I do enjoy reading the help posts, and try to reward some of the knowledgeable posts. This seems to be an area that doesn't receive enough merit. I suppose I'm mildly interested in merit stats, especially where they seem to be going onto boards that I don't feel are the most beneficial for the forum. I need to spend more time learning about stable coins as well.

One of the most important (in my opinion) possibilities for Bitcoin and BitcoinTalk is the improvement in cooperation and association between different classes, cultures and countries, and I would like to do something to increase this. The Fit to Talk English project was one of my attempts to achieve this. It is unfortunate that it started to be hit by spammers, and it ended up tasking up too much time. The domain is blocked by the WiFi at my current location, and I seem to be using the cafe here most days. I might try to find a way round this. Let me know if you think it is worth the effort.

Whales are wearing their fur coats in this bear market. They have their speedos on underneath in preparation for the imminent spring. Smiley

It's quite rare to have banks doing international bank transfers without fees in terms of the exchange rate and stuff.

My credit card doesn't charge fees for international payments, but of course it charges the receiver, and makes a small turn on the exchange rate, but this seems to be slightly lower than a normal bank exchange charge.

I do mostly disagree with the content of your posts (to the extent that for a long time I thought you had me on ignore),

I don't put people on ignore just because they don't agree with me. I'm interested in so many different things, that I can't be right all of the time. Smiley I ignore people for the misuse of quoting, and for including useless images in non-social threads. That's because it slow down my scanning of the thread. A far rarer reason is when people like Franky resort to personal abuse, rather than logical debate. It shows that they don't have a valid argument, and it isn't worth reading their posts.

You don't learn from people agreeing with you. You learn when people submit an opposing or alternative viewpoint, or when they expand on your opinion.

I gave you a few merits. Not really because of that post, but because of your correct use of quoting, and because the few posts of yours that I read seem to be undermerited. Pleased continue to support the forum.
1097  Other / Meta / Re: Legendaries need love as well. on: September 07, 2020, 07:30:01 AM
Well a very good morning to all my readers. Smiley
Here we are at the start of another week with the monkey faces trying toi stop themselves getting immunity, but I'm starting to repeat myself, so I need to switch to other topics. I find it interesting that reputable surveys are coming round to confirming many of my opinions. The latest ones are about the use of free or low cost vitamin "D", and commenting on the fact that research into itsd benefits has been suppressed in many reports.

Bitcoin is still slipping slightly, and it looks like a good chance for a bit of accumulating. Now that winter drawers on (sic), and breath comes in short pants, I'll try to spend a bit more time here, I'm so far behind with DeFi, and that looks like a really important new trend, and Bitcoin Talk is the ideal place to discuss it.

I don't believe that we need another new rank above legendary, but it would be handy if we could think of some way to verify an honest and reliable reputation. Default Trust goes part way towards this, but it seems more oriented towards good forum behaviour than honest trading. It probably can't be done though while account sales are allowed.

Merit seems to have lost its direction slightly, with large quantities of merit being awarded to the forum statisticians, and not so much being awarded to good discussions, and help for members with crypto difficulties. I'll see if I can do a bit to change this. I've got quite a bit on this week, so it may have to wait until next week. Later today, I have to get rid of a steel balcony for a friend. It's probably not worth the effort from a financial point of view, but I think I need the exercise, as I'm spending too much time sitting in cafes and driving.

I think the woke teachers should be sacked, and we should go back to old values such as honesty, mathematical, commercial and scientific skills, and communication that doesn't depend on finding alternative words for "black". It's also time we realised that your sex is dependent on the bits God gave to you, and not on your pleasure orientation.
1099  Other / Off-topic / Re: What’s the most disgusting food you’ve eaten ? on: September 06, 2020, 11:44:17 AM
McDonald's burgers, I've never tried the shakes. They seem to include additives to make you feel hungry,and to stimulate the pleasure zones artificially. They also use ultra-processed foods,and you can see the effects they have by looking at the width of many of the staff and customers.

Conspiracies are saying this virus was made to control the human population which is somewhere clicking.

It isn't a conspiracy. Bill Gates has stated that publicly.
