261  Other / Politics & Society / Re: [Discussion] Family decision towards kids upbringing. on: April 10, 2024, 07:29:46 PM
In regards to how society has made women believe they are more supportive of their men and work to be productive financially,.
I believe women should be at least 70% involved in the grooming of kids.
At least their work should be regulated to give the kids more space.
Maybe working at home will add to the office work. Men should also create time for the kids, but basically, women should be available.
 
I came across some wealthy homes when both parents were running this productive financial race to give the kids the best life. In this process, they do not have the attention of the kids as much as they should, and kids grow up with different nannies that has different impact and this impact is usually negative hence such a kid might end up being corrupt.

It is now popular for families to send children to creches at a very tender age because they are busy making money. I don't blame them sometimes because of the harsh economic conditions most nations are going through. It is now very difficult for the income of one spouse to sustain the family. This has put more pressure on the family to leave the children in the custody of minders and teachers. However, parents should know that childraising is not just providing the financial or physical needs of the children because good morale and character are more important. Securing an online job is a good option but it is not all mothers that have the relevant skills to secure these remote jobs. Self-employment could be another good option for mothers since they can be able to determine their work schedule.

For the men, I think they should spend any free time they have with the family. It is common to see fathers hanging out with friends in clubs or bars instead of going home to stay with their children. Before they get home, the children have gone to bed and they will leave for work early before these kids wake up. They end up knowing nothing about these kids and the children also lack knowledge of their father. Fathers should play a major part in the upbringing of the children, hence they shouldn't transfer these tasks to the mother or nannies.

Should I advise you? This kind of discussion should be written in your local thread for effective discussion.
Agreed.  I have no idea what OP is talking about exactly, and as is typical for members here, very little details are supplied as to what's supposed to be the topic.  I initially thought this might be about the US government and all of their excess spending on idiotic shit, but apparently not.  That's fine, too since government waste has been a contentious subject likely since the beginning of society and governments.

The post might be more beneficial in the Nigeria local board but some members might also want to know about the economic situation of other countries. Personally, international news attracts me because it helps me to make a comparison with the situation in my country. One of the pitfalls of the original post is that it didn't relate his position to a particular country keeping readers in the dark. Now members are put in a condition where they have to figure out the country he was referring to.

Anyway the redesigning of the Naira not was politically and corruption motivated. Some persons in power didn't want the present president of Nigeria Bola Tinubu to win the election so they wanted to make the currency scarce which would frustrate the ability of his party to buy votes. Fortunately, he had access to other currencies and connections in the Central Bank which aided him in winning the elections.

A special investigation into the Naira redesign showed that it was not the former president Muhamadu Buhari who approved the policy but his powerful nephew and aide Sabiu Tunde. He corroborated with the former CBN governor to siphon government funds through the printing and minting contract and misappropriation of the old notes. It was reported that the contract for the production of the currency was inflated and there was no accurate account of how some of the old were destroyed.

Although there are some benefits of redesigning a country's currency for a country that is going through so many economic problems spending close to $60m on such a project was ill-planned.

I don't think it is absolute nonsense like you stated because many gamblers depend on statistics such as head-to-head, team and player history to predict a game. Supercomputers only make the process faster and more accurate.

It is quite a sick game how both parties are willing to use human lives as mere exchange chips, as if this was a casino or something.
I don't think comparing it to casinos is fair, though. It is a total crime and unjust torture.

The thousands of hostages held in Israeli torture houses having their organs harvested include women and children while the prisoners currently held by the Palestinian resistance aka Hamas are the IDF military personal that were arrested when the resistance raided their military bases across the wall that separates Gaza from the rest of the occupied Palestine.
By sending back all of Israel's prisoners from Gaza, the brutal killings and torture are leaving their mark on the world. The Palestinians are innocent. They don't have the strength to attack Israel so forcefully. They are a helpless little country. They don't want any trouble. They don't even want to take anything from Israel by force. The Palestinians don't want any trouble, but the Israelis are desperate for a Palestinian occupation of Gaza. What a heartbreaking story that can be understood by watching some video footage! How to kill small children. The dead bodies of the children in the arms of their parents are very sad scenes. When you see them, you are cut inside. They must be stopped, but the Western countries do not want to see such a scene.

Does not your heart break when you see such a heartbreaking story about Palestine?
It seems you mistakenly misquoted the words of pooya87 and Hispo. The original quote is this one

It is quite a sick game how both parties are willing to use human lives as mere exchange chips, as if this was a casino or something.
Not really the same thing though.
The thousands of hostages held in Israeli torture houses having their organs harvested include women and children while the prisoners currently held by the Palestinian resistance aka Hamas are the IDF military personal that were arrested when the resistance raided their military bases across the wall that separates Gaza from the rest of the occupied Palestine.
You exchanged pooya87 words with Hispo's comments.

It seems the evil government of Benjamin Netanyahu I not tired of killing innocent civilians. In the face of global condemnation and caution, he has announced that a date for Rafah's invasion has already been fixed. Which means that they don't want peace.

What ever Israel do is to their own advantage because they are not the once beging and crying for help from the international community so if hamas want peace they have to follow any thing Israel brings to the table
I don't think Palestine will accept any condition that Israel brings to the table. They will have to protect the interests of the people. Don't forget that they also have something to bargain with.

This is interesting, if you don't mind, will you be able to make updates regarding the supercomputer's predictions? It would be interesting to see what their win/loss percentage would be in the long run.
I will consider your suggestion, maybe frequently visiting the websites of these supercomputers predicting firms and coming up with updates be an interesting activity. It will help us to ascertain how accurate and reliable they are.

I think we should accumulate statistics of successful match predictions by supercomputers. Statistics are the best and most visible form of certainty. However, I do not believe that supercomputers will be able to predict match results with 100% accuracy. The fact is that the outcome of many matches depends on chance. For example, if two teams of equal strength are playing, then the victory of one of them can often be the result of such a chance that no supercomputer can predict. Again, let's not forget that there are fixed matches that may not end as the supercomputer predicted.
One of the benefits of these supercomputers is that they can gather and analyse statistical data faster and more accurately. Human mistakes might lead to wrong predictions but these computers are flawless. I accept that gambling is a game of luck but these computers might be helpful, especially for newbies and those people who don't have all the time to analyze games.

I wonder what will happen if countries like this, switch over to Bitcoin (Lightning Network) ... because a lot of African countries are using digital payments like MPesa, so they can do this.
Adopting a new currency is not the solution to inflation. Even if Zimbabwe adopt Bitcoin as a currency and doesn't adopt the right economic policies, inflation will persist. The genesis of Zimbabwe's inflation was not a result of the printing of money but of the bad economic policies of the Robert Mugabe government. The government increased public spending without diversifying its sources of income, forceful taking back of agricultural lands from white farmers, drought and Western sanctions which affected the economy negatively. To handle these economic problems, the government engaged in the printing of currency which led to hyperinflation. Except the government handle the main economic problems, Bitcoin will have little or no effect.

We are in an era where artificial intelligence and supercomputers can perform many tasks accurately. We have reports of some AI tools passing law school examinations and some of them have performed some complex surgeries in the medical field. With these technological tools, the word impossible is gradually becoming obsolete.

In the betting or gambling sector, there has been an increase in the use of technology to make the game more interesting and profitable. Recently there has been news of a SuperComputer that can carry out complex simulations and give game predictions. Based on the Opta supercomputer prediction, Liverpool is the favorite to win the EPL with 45%,  Manchester City with 33.6% while Arsenal has a 21.4% chance.

While in the Champions League, the SuperComputer had predicted that Atletico Madrid has the slimmest chance of winning with just 5% chance while Manchester City has the biggest chance with 41.2%.

Do you think these predictions are reliable?

Israeli Military has laid down a Strong condition for considering a ceasefire in the Bloody conflict with Hamas, emphasizing the release of hostages held in Gaza as a non-negotiable prerequisite.
As it stands now Benjamin Netanyahu is pushing for this ceasefire because he has lost support within the country and majority of Isreal's allies are withdrawing their support. Recently the Isreal main opposition leader Yair Lapid had a meeting with the US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, in Washington. And he critised the way Benjamin is handling the war and as well as the collapse of the relationship between the US and Isreal. At home there have been massive protest concerning the failed tactics of Benjamin Netanyahu.

Isreal wants the release of all hostages while the keep kidnapping and imprisoning hundreds of Palestinians daily. If they want to have all the hostages released, then they should release all Palestinians that have been kept in deplorable conditions in Israeli prisons and the daily arrest of innocent Palestinians should also stop. It makes no sense for Palestinians to release hostages while the IDF keep taking more people into custody.

272  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Israeli terrorists are preparing propaganda before attacking Al-Aqsa mosque on: April 08, 2024, 01:37:12 PM
Lets refresh out memories about their most "noisy" propaganda first.
On 17 October 2023 the Israeli terrorists dropped a heavy bomb on the Al-Ahli hospital leaving 700+ casualties. This angered the whole world so the terrorists started their propaganda campaign that it was a Palestinian rocket! that caused that kind of damage. Like always some people believed this propaganda.

Anyone who believes that the attack on Al-Ahli Hospital was not dropped by the Israeli military is lying to himself. The proofs are clear and no form of propaganda can dispute the fact that it was well-planned to murder civilians. It is clear that the evidence which include videos and audio recordings that the the Israeli army used to transfer the blame to Palestinians was highly doctored and fabricated.

As a background for those not familiar with the Zionism cult, they believe that in order for the "end of the world" to begin and for their "savior" to come and save their asses, they need to first destroy the Al-Aqsa mosque that is located in the occupied Quds city.
This is one of the main reasons why the members of this radical cult have been occupying Palestine for the past 75 years.
This is the only ideology I've seen that both believe in Armageddon and actively works to bring it about! Their belief is that they end up killing everyone who is not a Zionist (which they consider not to be human!) and end up ruling the entire world!!!

One of these radical groups that have called for the destruction of this Holy worship place is The Temple Mount Faithful Movement. This extremist view is not a popular belief in Israel. It is also important to state that the concept of anti-Christ is alien to Judaism because it was introduced by Christianity. Extremist Israeli Knesset member Yehuda Glick and former Deputy Knesset Chairman MK Moshe Feiglin have shared and promoted the idea of this radical movement. More government officials might share the same radical views and the idealogy of these powerful politicians leads to such action. But the destruction of The Noble Sanctuary will enrage Muslims globally and might lead to more than what Israel and its allies can handle.

What are some major institutions investing heavily in bitcoins in 2024 ?  And how is it going to impact the future prices for bitcoin according to you ?
MicroStrategy seems to be one of the consistent institutional investors in the Bitcoin space. This firm has consistently increased its Bitcoin holding over time and has never sold for a long time. I don't consider Telsa a reliable Bitcoin investor because of their inconsistency. Elon Musk once announced that they would never sell their Bitcoin but the firm later published that it has sold some of its coins. Considering the approval of Spot Bitcoin ETF it will be difficult to predict Bitcoin investors for this year because more institutions are showing more interest in the sector.

The impact can be positive and also negative. Buying more Bitcoin will increase the demand thereby causing a price increase. But these institutions can also influence the market when they sell their hodling which might make the price drop. However, institutional investors also increase Bitcoin awareness and adoption.
274  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: April 08, 2024, 07:43:17 AM
Kylian Mbappe is not one of those players that should be criticized for being rude because over the years, he's never had any kind of altercation with managers that he's played under. The reason why he's been furious in recent games is because of the recent treatments he's getting from the manager of Paris Saint Germaine Luis Enrique. The Spanish manager have recently grown the habit of either not starting matches with Kylian Mbappe or subbing him off in the early stages of the second half on games he was included in the starting line up. For a player of Kylian Mbappe's status, you don't expect him to be happy with such kind of treatment from the manager and that's why he's not been cool with his recent attitudes with the club manager. I don't want anyone to term it as being rude in my own opinion
From my observation Luis Enrique is reserving Kylian Mbappé for the club's Champions League game against Barcelona. Secondly, the coach is preparing the club for the departure of the French striker. PSG team have been built around Mbappé for a long time, there is need to prepare the club for his absence since he has shown interest in leaving for Real Madrid. It is also common to see players get frustrated when they are not including in a match because they want to score more goals and win more awards. It's also great to see that Enrique was able to manage the situation because coaches like Antonio Conte,, Jose Mourinho and others might also verbally attack such players.

To answer this comment fairly.

I’ve done multiple times receiving a payment on this same address in the past. I also check the wallet address as correct before I use it to apply as loan. I’m not sure if this can be considered as carelessness or ignorance if the change of the address done after few hours when I check it while I use this same address for so many years without any issue like changing address.

In fact, This is the first time this casino change a wallet address for receiving funds and it’s done without any notifications like what exchange do when they will change a wallet address. So I’m confident that I’m not fully liable on this event.

Besides, the fee on Bitcoin network that time is too high so it’s convenient to use directly the address which I will be using the funds. It’s useless to receive the funds on non custodial wallet first then send it to that same wallet address because that time I have no idea that they will start changing wallet address. So a lesson learned on my side.
You were not careless Mate and anyone who thinks you were is unfair to to you. This was the address you have been using for a long time and the casino didn't notify you of the change of address. The blame should go solely to the casino and your experience should serve as a lesson to everyone to always crosscheck out addresses before transferring funds to it. Alternatively, we should always copy the address directly from the casino instead of relying on the one we have in our wallets or we saved somewhere else.

"She went back and forth, sent multiple cashier’s checks, deposited money into bitcoin ATMs, which was then transferred into the suspect’s account, and also bought a couple of pieces of high-end jewelry and sent them to the suspect,”

if that $669,500 was any significant part of her net worth then you have to wonder how someone could be THAT DUMB.
In some cases, greed is one of the reasons why people fall for these scammers. I have had issues when I was told that I won a huge sum in lotteries I never bought tickets. But some people might see it as a miracle and start following the directives of these scammers. I assume that these scammers can easily be tracked since there was a transfer from the ATM to bank accounts. The majority of the targets of these scammers are elderly people because many of them are not familiar with these new scams and can be easily deceived because of mental decline. They are not dumb, they are just victims of sophisticated crimes.
