Well, firstly, i don't think someone (a male, more specifically) should get married until they are well-settled or at least have a job like your brother-in-law. But, it is their personal decision and i'm just sharing my opinion about it.

You are actually right about the concept that people do join bitcoin community to earn some money when they have no job or they are unemployed. I was like that too once when i did not have any job ofcourse because i was a student, but then i found bitcoin and started getting deeper into it and finally got to earn a very small part of it which was actually enough for me as a student. Now, i don't know if someone married and having a family can really survive as a beginner in bitcoin without having a permanent job in his practical life.

I dont know, so few people know about bitcoin versus the amount of folks that are unemployed. In the US at least, one pretty much is not aware of bitcoin beyond the household name level, unless you just happen to know someone that is into bitcoin. i will agree that unemployed people are apt to look online for sources of income, and bitcoin is where you will eventually end up Cheesy

its lame though, living on bitcoin sucks. you will look back when the price rises, and realize you paid a 100 dollars for a tank of gas Sad

Hey guys, I believe ETH could see a fall back to around 100$ as a result of the increasing FUD concerning the possible split. Basically ETH isn't doing all that well trustwise, as there have been a lot of rumors surrounding whales getting ready for a new dump, what do you think?

I dont know the rumors you are speaking of, or are am I aware of any fud. Im actually having a deal getting a feel for market sentiment right now, in fact. But unless it goes up a little bit more, this is still a deadcat imo, and its going back down a little more. Thats purely conjecture, and disclosure, i will be buying eth if it moves below the recent low.

Nah, fortune tellers get stuff right just as often that they get them wrong. You're better of just tossing a coin.

Besides, if you're Christian, you'd probably be wary of such stuff. I remember some Christians vehemently dismissing these stuff as demonic because of that story from the New Testament about the fortune-telling servant girl. And even if there's nothing sinister with these fortune-telling stuff, you can't really hope to do anything anyway. It's not like you can game it, right?

If you believe the Bible, things will happen and there's nothing you can do against it. Heck, trying to "soften the blow" might even be thought as lack of faith.
One thing that i can attest to is that these fortune tellers cant predict the future and fortune telling is attributed to demons, and whiles they make the prophecy, i believe that the demons are able to make things happen so that they eventually come through. They have the power to effect changes in the physical realm.

I don't consider myself religious but that seem to be the opinion that the Bible take. Well, at least as what that New Testament story try to imply. Paul eventually got annoyed with the girl following and advertising them and so he exorcised her, also removing the "fortune-telling" ability.

Now whether occultists always really use demonic aid when performing tasks has been debated. The witch of Endor which summoned Samuel's spirit for example has been interpreted in various ways. Maybe the "spirit" was not really Samuel? (Why reprimand Saul though?). If it was him, does that mean the witch didn't use dark arts? Moses simply stated necromancy is an abomination but never said anything whether it works right or not.

I think you both have it. Demons would seem, under Christianity, to be the source of occult power. It seems you can ritualistically manifest your will one of two ways, through entreaty to the Lord via prayer, or through appeasement and ritual invocation of demons. i dont think demons can dick around on this side of the Veil without being asked to come; hence all the magic circle bullshit, invocation rituals and symbolic preparation required to perform occult magic. occult magic is real, if you define it as what it is; the ability to manifest ones will despite reality. we pray to have our wills advance, they cast in order to further theirs. this is most politicians, all confidence men, most successful business people. not demoniacs, but people that know how to make their wills reality, by knowing what to say and what to do to achieve their end. is not know what to "say and do" the essence of occult magic? a ritual, nonetheless.

investigations into Solomon, and his magic ring (its in the Apocrypha) that was able to command demons, will show that demons seem to serve specific functions, and have a limited scope of effect that the are relegated to. think of the word daemon and what it means in modern society. these things are like subroutines you can call up, if you know the right command line function, to get what you need done. but the Lord looks upon this type of 'black-hattery' with a very dim view, this shit gets you excluded from the Kingdom real quick.

The operating system does not approve Cheesy

and Christians forget that demons are a part of the Bible too Wink they didnt sneak in, the Lord put them there.
884  Other / Politics & Society / Re: ISIS is nothing compared to U.S. cops. on: July 18, 2017, 03:06:29 PM

ISIS, on the other hand, represents some of the best in the Islamic written religion. That's how they got their start. Some Islamic people got fed up with standard Islamic clerics, and started to look at what the Koran really said. If the Koran didn't say it, there wouldn't be any ISIS. The US simply took advantage of what was brewing with the honest ISIS people when they funded them.

ISIS might be an example of some of the worst people to the rest of the world. But to other ISIS people, and according to the literal writings of the Koran, they are as close to the best as you can come. The rest of the world, even other Muslims, are all infidels, because they don't even try to follow the Koran like it is written.

The only reason why we have Muslims that the rest of the world would say are good Muslims is, Islam is dying. It isn't dying in that they go out and SAY it is dying. After all, they still use call themselves Muslims of Islam. But Islam is dying in the fact that they don't follow all the words of the Koran and Hadiths... but rather try to twist those words into something that matches life and religion the way they want to have it.

Cool

I agree and disgree with you here. i certainly agree that islamic orthodoxy (IS is just a hyper conservative religious organization to me) is the cause of the violence/terror; I would be lying to you if I said the Koran doesnt clearly espouse some violent, separatist doctrine). Bu that is part of the beauty of these three books to me (Torah, the NT, and the Koran), I think they are living works of literature. i believe they were so perfectly written that they can be interpreted to address the evolving concerns of human society. that is, older passages will change meaning as human society reaches a greater understanding of its true nature. it addresses the entire scope of our existence, the Book; there are truths about our future that have not been realized because it it not yet time. this is the very nature of esoteric knowledge.

our religions, despite of cultures, are religions of peace. i would say we were supposed to be the most peaceful, us Christians, accepting a covenant of non violence and empathy towards our fellow like our role model, JC.

we have failed as Christians, at that Sad maybe moreso we have failed as humans, and forgotten our Father's face Sad 666 is the mark of the Beast, but it is tellingly also the mark of Man.
885  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Real Lucifer in the Vatican on: July 18, 2017, 02:45:06 PM
Lucifer is what you think he is. If you think he's evil.......he's evil. Same with wise.

Of course, Christians think wisdom equates to evil so there you go.

I applaud you for understanding this high level truth of Christianity.  a lot of Christians have not considered this point and I think this is an esoteric truth.

i get this from the Bible; the tree of knowledge imparted understanding to man. that greater understanding of ones nature is what got Adam and Eve kicked out of the Garden (and rank disobediance:) ). we werent intended to live independent of God's will, it seems. or another way of looking at it; wisdom makes man lose his savage "grace" and become accountable for his actions, unlike the beasts of the world (whos actions are beyond reproach, we dont get mad at wolves eating sheep)

with that being said, wisdom is the currency we are encouraged to cultivate, as it is the only thing we can take with us to the afterlife. i think this might be where the difference between wisdom and knowledge comes in: wisdom to me is gleaned knowledge with personal schema, whereas knowledge is more the pursuit of information for its own sake. like knowing how to fish, vs knowing the scientific name of the fish you just hooked. similar to the difference between data and information.

Christianity, admittedly, is hard.  Shocked

and yes, Mometaskers, oh the irony if this is true, just kills me inside. i kinda get the illumination/revelation symbology that could have prompted this, but its just too movie perfect to be true, LOL.

Trump should stay focused on issues directly involving the United States. Domestic issues. We have a lot of problems over here. The man is 70 years old and an accomplished businessman on an international level. I'm sure he's awake to the way the world turns.

Yes! He should concentrate on the domestic issues first, rather than wasting the tax money by invading nations such as Iran, North Korea and even Russia. The Iraq and Libya invasions were complete disasters and I thought that at least after this, the Americans might have been taught a lesson.

We could have a giant fucking chicken in a suit in office, and this would still be the way of things. we cemented our position as big brother by being big brother, often at times when we had no business interfering, but saw the opportunity to advance our agenda without our ulterior motives being clear. but we have a subversive, underhanded way about offering said 'help'; we play the moral high ground on the forestage, while we conduct our true dirt behind the scenes.

from iran-contra and the bay of pigs, out to operation fast and furious. and even the attacks against our own, like the MK series experiments.

887  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Would you eat a human? on: July 18, 2017, 02:14:45 PM
eeating humans can give you a lot of different diseases. There is a thing called prions. Prions are this part of a human that will basically cause you problems in your mouth when you eat them. It reacts negatively to your inside of your body as it is toxic in a way, it causes holes in your tongue or cheek/mouth and will cause problems inside you too.


How can you confirm your statement ? Did you try it before ?
I don't think this is scientifically true. And I don't eat humans of course lol

no, there is some truth to this. there are a number of degenerative neural diseases that are caused by eating the neural tissue of other humans. they ony really tend to crop in cannabalistic cultures, as the eating of human brains really isnt that ubiquitous. Those zombie bros get hit with something akin to Parkinsons over time; a lifetime of prion consumption is obviously something one's body doesnt want Sad some additional information via wikipedia:

Kuru (disease)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuru_(disease)

Quote
Kuru is a very rare, incurable neurodegenerative disorder that was formerly common among the Fore people of Papua New Guinea. Kuru is caused by the transmission of abnormally folded prion proteins, which leads to symptoms such as tremors, loss of coordination, and neurodegeneration.

The term kuru derives from the Fore word kuria or guria ("to shake"),[1] due to the body tremors that are a classic symptom of the disease and kúru itself means "trembling".[2] It is now widely accepted that kuru was transmitted among members of the Fore tribe of Papua New Guinea via funerary cannibalism. Deceased family members were traditionally cooked and eaten, which was thought to help free the spirit of the dead.[3] Females and children usually consumed the brain, the organ in which infectious prions were most concentrated, thus allowing for transmission of kuru. The disease was therefore more prevalent among women and children.

While the Fore people stopped eating human meat half a century ago, the disease lingered due to kuru’s long incubation period of anywhere from 10 to over 50 years.[4] The epidemic declined sharply after discarding cannibalism, from 200 deaths per year in 1957 to 1 or no deaths annually in 2005, with the last known kuru victim dying in 2009.[5][6]

Cool

i did, im taking my morning tea. im not liking what im seeing at all Sad

http://www.parkerliveonline.com/2013/12/02/fired-quartzsite-police-officers-score-victory-in-federal-court/

Quote
A federal court judge has awarded several former Quartzsite police officers, who once represented a majority of the town’s police force, summary judgment against their former employers.

Judge Mark E. Aspey, a United States Magistrate Judge, ruled in favor of the so-called ‘Quartzsite 8’, and against the Town of Quartzsite, former Police Chief Jeff Gilbert, former Town Manager Alex Taft and former Assistant Town Manager Al Johnson.

“The record in this matter is voluminous, exhibiting a pattern of small town politics and perceived loyalties and disloyalties.”
Chief Gilbert was accused by the officers in 2011 of failing to report paid vacation time as part of his annual leave, misusing the National Criminal Information Center database by using it to run background checks on political foes and misused grant funds.


this is what pisses me off. good cops (because i dont have any issue with the function cops are supposed to serve, preserving order) tried to point a finger, and had it bent back. it is truly the bad apples that ruin this bunch, and i honestly think this will ameliorate when a lot of the older generation of humans dies off, ie we have a cohort shift. im a traditionalist myself, i see a beauty in the wisdom of elders. but the poison attitudes cultivated in America need to die off. the old mentality is clearly not helping us here.

Quote
The officers tried to blow the whistle by reporting to several authorities, including the Arizona Department of Public Safety, the Arizona Peace Officer Standards and Training Board (AZPOST) and the Quartzsite Town Council. A DPS investigation concluded that if Gilbert had permission for the vacation time from Taft (his direct supervisor) then it would not constitute “fraud or criminal behavior” and could not substantiate the other claims.

After these letters were written, the Plaintiffs alleged that there was threatened retaliation from the Chief:

‘Chief Gilbert then threatened retaliation for any officers involved in the DPS investigation against him, stating he knew the names” of those who had “talked against” him and that there would be “consequences” or “hell to pay.”’

From their training, some of the officers say they believed they could lose their certification as police officers if they failed to report any alleged criminal conduct by a superior officer, which they claimed put them in a difficult position. One letter from the officers begins:

‘We…write this letter with great hesitation, and only after much discussion and contemplation. We hesitate because we consider ourselves a team of professional, dedicated, and educated individuals and it goes against our nature to go against the Chief of Police. We also hesitate because we fully believe that if this letter does not have the desired result, and we continue to work under the current administration, there will most certainly be retaliation.’

all cops arent bad, by all means. but the shits of the bunch, are massive, steaming piles. the lowest common denominator is exceedingly low hanging.

http://www.rawstory.com/2017/07/father-calls-for-justice-in-minneapolis-police-shooting/

Quote
The father of an Australian woman fatally shot by a Minneapolis police officer over the weekend called for justice on Tuesday hours after a local medical examiner ruled that her death was a homicide.

A Minneapolis police officer shot Justine Damond, originally from Sydney, through the door of a patrol car as she approached him and his partner in an alley near her home shortly before midnight on Saturday, according to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reported, citing three unnamed sources.

Damond’s father, John Ruszczyk, told reporters in Sydney on Tuesday that her death was “our worst nightmare”.

“Justine was a beacon to all of us. We only ask that the light of justice shine down on the circumstances of her death,” he said.

The Hennepin County medical examiner said in a report issued on Monday evening that Damond died of a gunshot wound in the abdomen and concluded that her death was a homicide.

Authorities and activists on Monday questioned why Minneapolis police who fatally shot her did not have their body cameras turned on during the incident.

Justine Damond’s American fiance also wondered about the details of how she was shot. She had called the police to report a suspected sexual assault near her home, fiance Don Damond told reporters outside the home.

in a nutshell, she called the cops to report someone being sexually assualted, and when they came, they fatally shot her in the stomach, though the door of the cruiser. it seems she may have surprised one of them accidentally, and he reacted by blind firing. very interesting that neither one of them was wearing the camera they were supposed to have while on duty.


Bless this family, and this womans fiancee. she had to leave the world because she scared someone trained to protect themselves, by knocking on a window Sad

Good luck getting to him though.

I dont know, but I think Trump is like Christmas in July for our rivals. We are embracing old foes and turning our backs on old friends. The instability his unorthodox presidential style (and liberal use of Twitter) makes it soooo much easier to make rhetoric/propoganda against the US. For example, the travel ban is a wet dream for IS; its like self basting turkey. They dont have to radicalize, the reaction to the policy did that for them for free. Same with the civil unrest and social divide. Perfect propaganda fodder against "the fat, lazy, confused West".

But Trump is probably the literal hardest person to kill in the entire world at the moment. USSS knows what they are dealing with. If they had a deal protecting Big O, then Trump must be a nightmare. Half of America was pissed for eight years, now half the world is pissed for four Smiley

And tell everyone that all the video's and news stories they see about the LGBTQ.......whatever.......are representing the vast minority of society. Something like 0.7 percent of the population in fact.

AMEN. Im not so much against non normative sexual behaviors/preferences as much as I am against the normalization of it. Its odd too me how every show has a gay couple, but I dont know any gay or lesbian couples, and I actually have had a decent amount of LGBQT peeps (never been friends with a transgender, product of circumstance). to be the most frank, its the level of sexualization aimed at the kids, period. they cant buy products; they cant vote, why do corps aim content thats controversial at a market that shouldnt even be able to interpret it? i see an agenda there, but the motives arent so clear to me. no one benefits from the normalization of such a fringe behavior. let it ride, people should be able to practice their will; but how much effort should we spend promoting a lifestyle that less than 1 percent of actors participate in?

rights, and the ability to live without being discriminated against, is one thing. but normalization of hyper fringe behavior is a completely different beast.

Also,
Quote
Justice Clarence Thomas, joined by Justices Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch, wrote separately to say they would have revived Mr Trump’s travel ban in full. The “compromise will burden executive officials with the task of deciding—on peril of contempt— whether individuals from the six affected nations who wish to enter the United States have a sufficient connection to a person or entity in this country”, they wrote, and will invite “a flood of litigation”. And, Justice Thomas added, the very judges that blocked Mr Trump’s travel ban would probably be the ones considering whether a potential traveler has a “bona fide” reason for being excused from it.

I'm sure the judges that blocked the ban aren't going to enforce it in this circumstance. 'Bonafide'.

Cheesy

Lawyers for the Trump administration went back to the Supreme Court again late Friday in the ongoing battle over President Donald Trump's travel ban -- this time asking the justices to resolve the uncertainty created by last month's ruling on which foreign nationals are exempt from the ban.

The Supreme Court decided in June that the travel ban must not apply to those people with a "bona fide connection" to a person or entity in the United States while the case is pending full argument this fall. The justices further explained that for "individuals, a close familial relationship is required."
A federal judge in Hawaii ruled Thursday, however, that the administration's decision to keep out some foreign nationals with close family members (like grandparents) but not others (like spouses) defied common sense, and was not in line with the spirit of the Supreme Court's decision.
Justice Department lawyers argued in Friday night's motion that the justices should now clarify what they meant in June and, in the meantime, place an immediate freeze on the lower court's decision.
"The district court's interpretation of this Court's ... ruling distorts this Court's decision and upends the equitable balance this Court struck," lawyers said in the motion. "And the district court's sweeping interpretation of 'close familial relationship' ... to encompass a wide range of distant relatives -- including cousins, uncles, and siblings-in-law -- effectively eliminates the 'close' requirement and has no basis in this Court's ruling."
Justice Clarence Thomas predicted in June that the Court's "compromise" decision would prove unworkable.

The justices may ask for the state of Hawaii to respond to the Justice Department's motion before issuing a decision on the latest dispute.


In retrospect, I dont think they handed him a win on this. what they did hand him was a political time bomb, the opportunity to drop the ball a third time regarding the travel ban. Mr. Thomas told us this, but we failed to listen I see. at this point, im almost hoping you guys do deliver on healthcare, its been a rough week/month/quarter/whole administration for the guys in the WH. Insert bigly joke.

so, thoughts? you cant really argue the logic on this, although this is clearly obstructionist in nature. they just have a point; how do you fuck over all the grandmas and grandpas in all this? jokes aside, its obviously a close relationship in American society, and we have intergenerational cohabitation in some homes, I lived with my gma for a little while when I was a kid.
896  Other / Politics & Society / Did Hillary Murder GOP Operative Peter W. Smith? on: July 15, 2017, 03:50:26 PM
...NO, dammit. stop reading infowars Smiley


but now that you are here, grab a seat, and lets discuss this shitshow, its very, very interesting.



so, in the spirit of dear of Seth coming up missing behind those emails, we have another Huh mysterious death fit for a CSI episode. I present to you the curious case of Mr. Peter Smith:


Quote
The Republican operative who committed suicide after speaking to the Wall Street Journal died of asphyxiation and left an all-caps handwritten note that insisted there was “NO FOUL PLAY WHATSOEVER” involved in his death, said CNN on Friday.

Peter Smith, 81, a longtime Republican operative and powerful conservative mega-donor told Journal reporter Shane Harris how he worked with ousted National Security Adviser Mike Flynn in an effort to coordinate with Russian hackers and obtain information about Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

Ten days later, Smith was found dead in his hotel room near the Mayo Clinic Hospital in Rochester, MN under what appear to be suspicious circumstances.

Officials now say that Smith left behind a road map of documents and the suicide note. The Republican activist said in his note that he was in ill health and that he was about to lose his insurance coverage and therefore decided to end his life. The coroner’s report said that Smith pulled a plastic bag over his head and piped in helium gas until he expired.

Harris told CNN that it’s unclear at this point the extent to which Flynn and Smith were working on the Russian hacking project together or whether Flynn had brought Smith’s activities to the attention of the Trump 2016 campaign. However, there is “no doubt that these men knew each other,” Harris said.

He also said that Smith showed no signs of illness during their interviews less than two weeks before his death.

a few glaring takeaways:

1) killing ones self because of lack of insurance coverage may be more ironic than DTJr getting in trouble for emails, because of emails (thanks RedditMaster! +1 cookie).

2) killing ones self shortly after disclosing information related to a federal investigation, to a news outlet, is well, convenient.

3) this guy was rich enough to donate money to a political campaign. interesting he was so concerned about insurance money. it occurred to me just ow he may have been referring to life insurance, that makes even less sense to me. surely a campaign donor can afford to cover his final expenses, yes?

4) the suicide note is fucking hilarious. i dont usually joke about shit like this, but this is like, movie good.

suicide note had the nerve to say: NO FOUL PLAY WHATSOEVER. just like that. in all caps (you cant identify non cursive writing so good forensically)

really?  Huh

well, nothing to see here I guess. this note seems pretty official Cheesy

So, given that so much was made of Mr. Rich and his untimely demise, how do you guy feel about this poor dude, who to me seems like he got offed because he ran his mouth? and the Clintons would want this guy alive and talking as much as possible, he was spelling out collusion for petes sake, so youll sound like a moron if you try to finger the Clintons with this. Absolutely no motive, they would probably give the guy a medal, if he wasnt so permanently dead.

Yezzir.

Man oh, man, where do I start?

Since I have been following the Breitbart/Infowars talking points, lets cut through all that bullshit. We know:

1) DT Jr., Kushner, and Manafort lied AGAIN on their disclosure forms about meetings with Russian foreign officials.

2) Members of the Trump administration conspired to obtain opposition research from foreign nationals, a clear violation of 52 USC 30121, 36 USC 510, a law that prohibits contributions to campaigns from foreign nationals.

3) a dossier was exchanged, establishing that the Trump campaign accepted a "thing of value". why this is important;

§ 110.20 Prohibition on contributions, donations, expenditures, independent expenditures, and disbursements by foreign nationals (52 U.S.C. 30121, 36 U.S.C. 510).
Quote
(b)Contributions and donations by foreign nationals in connection with elections. A foreign national shall not, directly or indirectly, make a contribution or a donation of money or other thing of value, or expressly or impliedly promise to make a contribution or a donation, in connection with any Federal, State, or local election.

(c)Contributions and donations by foreign nationals to political committees and organizations of political parties. A foreign national shall not, directly or indirectly, make a contribution or donation to:

(1) A political committee of a political party, including a national party committee, a national congressional campaign committee, or a State, district, or local party committee, including a non-Federal account of a State, district, or local party committee, or

(2) An organization of a political party whether or not the organization is a political committee under 11 CFR 100.5.

4) DTJr lied in his interview about the scope of the meeting (eight fucking people were present, a hilarious oversight).

5) Natalia Veselnitskaya is most likely an agent. And for the record, its really dumb to assume that Obama's "deep state" would help Russia give opposition research to Trump. So dumb, in fact, even FOX, the bastion of fair and balanced reporting, had to chime in:

Trump Jr Russia meeting: Who is to blame?
The Russian attorney whose campaign-season meeting with Donald Trump Jr. has caused headaches for the White House was cleared to enter the U.S. at the time of the visit by the Obama State Department, officials confirmed to Fox News late Thursday.

A brief timeline released overnight helps to resolve questions over how Natalia Veselnitskaya even had legal permission to be in the U.S. And it also shows multiple Obama agencies were involved on multiple occasions in granting access to the lawyer after she was initially denied a visa.

According to the timeline released by the Department of Homeland Security, the Obama Justice and Homeland Security departments granted her a special type of “parole” to be in the U.S. from September 2015 through February 2016 to work on a court case in New York. After that expired, according to DHS, the State Department issued her a B1/B2 non-immigrant visa in June 2016, according to DHS, just in time for her meeting with Trump Jr., Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner and then-campaign chairman Paul Manafort.

That newly revealed meeting has revived congressional scrutiny of the campaign’s alleged coordination with Russia, since an intermediary told Trump Jr. the lawyer could have dirt on Hillary Clinton as part of the Russian government’s bid to help his dad.

While Trump Jr. has since said, in hindsight, he would have done things differently, his father on Thursday took a more defiant tone and seemed to blame the Obama administration for letting the lawyer into the country.

so, while one could put their head in the sand and dismiss this as a nothingburger, its a very large, triple patty nothingburger with extra cheese and onion straws. You could say this isnt collusion, and technically you would be right, I wont argue you. But the lies are starting to pile up, lies that dont make sense unless something is being hidden. SO much fucking smoke. Its all very interesting.

and the best part is that, I dont think everyone has realized this is already over. DTJr is going to jail; the intelligence community has known about this for over a year. they sat on this, to let him hang himself, along with Kushner and Manafort. And now rumors of Sessions possibly resigning? They let them deny Russian meetings publically, and never refuted it, until now. This is why you dont piss of the intelligence community Wink it doesnt seem that smart, and apparently you dont get far Cheesy

Kinda like tweeting an incriminating email chain against the advice of your legal counsel..

Yall should be mad at Twitter. Twitter fucked this alllll up for the right.

Please, our more conservative friends on the board, wax fucking poetic in your opinions of this. I am all ears, this will be BTCtalk Gold Wink

heeey dudes and dudettes, Green here Smiley

Been a while! I was wearing the Adex token signature for a while, couldnt comment on all the juicy, juicy dish coming out of DC at the moment. I'm going to get into DTJr's ass in a minute, in another thread, but right now i want to talk about something i came across a while back, that has been on my mind for some time.

Im Christian, yall know that. While I digest esoteric/occult knowledge to compare it and contrast it to CHristianity, I generally steer clear. I forget who, but a great man once said that knowledge is a commodity you cannot test before you try it. If someone gives you food, you can get it lab analyzed; if someone gives you a gift, you can have it inspected. But knowledge must be digested to be understood, and that consumption breeds the danger. If the knowledge is poison, its too late.

So with all that, I present to you the prophecy of one Baba Vanga (cited from dailymail, they are essentially a tabloid nowadays, but this is all over the place, look it up)


Quote
The blind psychic who predicted 9/11 and the rise of Islamic State has also forecast that Barack Obama would be the 'last US president'.
The woman who was known as 'Baba Vanga', and regarded as the 'Nostradamus from the Balkans', predicted correctly that the 44th President would be African-American.
But it's unclear what the Bulgarian-born Prophet - who died in 1996 aged 85, and who had an alleged prediction success rate of 85 per cent – meant when she said Obama would also be the last, Prophecies reports.
Obama technically remains president until Donald Trump is sworn in on January 20, 2017.
Baba Vanga prophesied that the 44th US president would be black and he would be 'the last one'. She went on, saying that at the time of his stepping into office, there would be a spectacular economic crisis.
'Everyone will put their hopes in him to end it, but the opposite will happen; he will bring the country down and conflicts between north and south states will escalate,' she said.
However, she also spoke of a Messianic personality, but left few clues to help recognise this 'peacemaker' who in her words 'will sign the lasting peace'.

now, I dont really ascribe to the occult, but I understand there is a truth in all things. this prophesy has always captivated me; you just dont predict the first Black President. and shes been right, more or less, about a few other things:

Quote
Vanga is said to have made hundreds of predictions in her lifetime, including that there would be a 'great Muslim war' which would start with the Arab Spring in 2010.

GLOBAL WARMING AND THE BOXING DAY TSUNAMI
In the 1950s Vanga reportedly predicted how 'a huge wave will cover a big coast covered with people and towns, and everything will disappear beneath the water'.
She also warned of the effects of climate change by suggesting 'cold regions will become warm... and volcanoes will awaken.'
'Everything will melt, just like ice,' she added.

THE 9/11 TERROR ATTACKS ON NEW YORK
In 1989, she is said to have made reference to the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center.
News.com.au reports how she once said: 'Horror, horror! The American brethren will fall after being attacked by the steel birds. '
She added that 'innocent blood will gush.'

BARACK OBAMA BECOMING PRESIDENT
The pensioner once predicted that the 44th US president would be African American - but she also warned that he would be the 'last US president'.
LOOKING IN TO THE FUTURE
Vanga made predictions for the next few centuries before she died. Highlights include her warnings that aliens will help civilisations live underwater by 2130 and that there will be a war on Mars in 3005.
In another apocalyptic message, she said everything on earth will die by 3797 - but that by this stage humans should be capable of moving to a new star system.

LOL, a touch kooky, but interesting, nonetheless.

So, what do you guys think? Look her up, she has some interesting predictions (shes dead boss) but I believe her success rate is a little overblown by her followers.

Is this a paid game bro? or just a normal game?


Yeah, the game is figure out how long before he takes your money--good luck!

I'm just trying to figure out what happened to RP. This isn't the same poster; either OP has undergone severe emotional/psychological trauma, is using an addictive substance, or account is compromised. Due to knowledge of game assets the later isn't feasible, but this is indeed a head scratcher.

I had managed to passively accumulate about 7 to 10 XMR. Now I get to listen to snippets of esoteric media, and bemoan my loss.

First day price: 1ETH = 1170ADX (+30% bonus)

First week price: 1ETH = 1035ADX (+15% bonus)

Regular price: 1ETH = 900ADX

It seems somebody just fix 30% bonuses + profits already with this prices

-snip-

Its only start of ADX trades, when token will be added on major exchanges we will see the good price rising. Hold your coins and wait for the good news.

bittrex and polo will be a good choice,, i believe when ADX listed on both exchange the price will be huge  Wink
also this project has many potential for longterm investments
I think that the bittrex will be added adex token as fast as possible, but it will not possible for polo to add a new coin after the gnosis because there is a lot of problem with polo especially too many users get freeze due to the unknown reason. Just try to grab more in the cheap price.
Yeah. I think also the bittrex doing their best to have a adx token as soon as possible. Many investors are now excited to trade their adx token because they know it has a potential.

I think Bittrex may have asked Adex for additional information on the application, Ivo mentioned the application process again (I can't remember, either their was another part, or they contacted them back with an additional request for information.) I'm not mad at all, it seems like the hype is building now that we have shaken off the weak hands. Adex didn't advertise this too much, I will admit. But now that the momentum is picking up post ICO, people are having issues buying in as cheaply as they could have, if they had faith Wink

I have a feeling this token is going up, and staying up. And Jihan Wu is onboard, so there's that Smiley
