....We have a president speaking directly to white nationalism.....

Hmm, that does not explain why Trump's popularity among black voters has more than doubled...

Maybe you are simply wrong.

And a side note; Nazis are pretty much a universally condemned class. The ideology is so dangerous, it's fucking illegal in some places....

Really?

Funny how many left wing people including you believe in National Socialism...

Wait...wasn't NAZI...let's see...how did that translate....

Definition of Nazi in English:
 
Nazi
NOUN

historical
1A member of the National Socialist German Workers' Party.
Example sentences
1.1derogatory A person with extreme racist or authoritarian views.
Example sentencesSynonyms
1.2 A person who seeks to impose their views on others in a very autocratic or inflexible way.
‘I learned to be more open and not such a Nazi in the studio’


What gives? Are you referring or mixing up definition 1A and 1.1 or 1.2?

Spend, I love you so I'm going to let you in on a secret. The overwhelming majority of black people do not support Trump. Dont let Rasmussen fool you. 1, contemporary support among Blacks for Republican politics is at an all time low. Dont think that the same set that overwhelming voted Obama into office twice, would only 2 years later have radically shifted to the opposite end of the political spectrum. Blacks will vote Democratic until the party shifts again, because the truth of the matter is most African Americans are economically disadvantaged relative the national cohort, and Democratic policies are helpful as fuck (a government safety net when you cant rely on generational wealth or a well heeled social network). Beyond the ignorant refrain to "leave the Democratic plantation" (you want to disenfranchise a potential black Republican voter? Say this shit LOL), all this malarkey about optimal employment is a bunch of jive. Yes, it's great that everyone is employed. But when the majority of the national cohort doesn't even have 1000 dollars in the event that an emergency arises, I'm thinking all that employment is not really translating to a level of income that provides happiness. Please see here:
https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/18/few-americans-have-enough-savings-to-cover-a-1000-emergency.html


Black folks dont own stocks like everyone else:
https://abcnews.go.com/Business/story?id=88110&page=1

35 percent  of Blacks compared to White peers, and that's for cats that make over 50k (which is not anyone who didn't finish college, so it's much worse for low income blacks). So all this market growth means shit.
And wage growth has not kept up with inflation.

So, from a Black person that runs in really, really diverse circles, trust me when I say there is not much love lost amongst the brothas for Dear Trump.

To prove me, please observe the recent Blexit campaign (yes, Black Exit) that Kanye and Candace Owen's have been cooking up.
https://m.facebook.com/blexitmn/

Waste of time, imo. Our religious culture does not condone Trumps behavior (older Blacks, which typically ran conservative until Trump. Anti abortion is a huge deal for this set. But Trump, and his Cabinet specifically, this is too much). Younger blacks are not really into Rebuplican politics.

When you let Jeff Sessions head the DOJ, well, you lose the black vote.

Dude please stop multi-posting.  Please edit your posts to include responses to multiple posts

My bad. It's been about a year or so since I posted here religiously, it wasn't a deal when this used to be the Wild West of the forum. I was actually under the impression this only applies to one offs and one liners; I will make sure to mind the rule in the future. Thank you sir!

No offense but if you think that the tanks and air force that a dictators military force would be able to unleash is countered by a bunch of farmers with a few rifles and hand guns then that doesn't say much about the confidence in your military.

Please see here:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupation_of_the_Malheur_National_Wildlife_Refuge

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waco_siege


Again, you would be surprised what a few motivated people with the right hardware can do. Also, it is important to note that the military is rarely if ever deployed against citizens in the US. It would be an escalation of local law enforcement agencies, with local police responding initially. That would escalate to the FBI and ATF eventually. The hardware at that level is formidable, but also attainable by common citizens. That leaves training, and at the highest levels, they (citizenry) would be as trained if not more so than the average non Special Forces soldier. Combat skills are teachable, and training can be purchased in the private sector.  And the shit you can get as a private citizen isn't that much less lethal that mil spec equipment.

I could have the same gear, training and comparable hardware to a common infantry unit here with an investment in time and effort. So no, think of those "farmers with rifles" as armed paramilitary groups.

The car isn't engineered and designed to kill people, let alone that being it's ONLY purpose for existing.  You literally couldn't pick a more apples to oranges comparison.

Okie. Heroin was designed as a painkiller. But it's currently ravaging our low income areas with lethal effect. And the laws and regulations around this substance reflect that potential lethality. Like cars. And fireworks. Intended purpose does not always define use. So regulation and legislation fills that vacuum.

Why can't I have a 50cal mounted to the roof of my mini van, cars hurt more people than roof mounted machine guns!

Fuck it, why not? Grin

And a fun fact: there are at best like 6 million law enforcement officers and military peeps nationwide. Compared to 100 million registered gun owners.

We lurvs our guns here in good ole 'Murica.

@Hellfish I went back and merged those two back to back posts into one big ass post, and deleted the second one. Again my bad Wink
24  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Active Shooting at Pittsburgh Synagogue 7+ dead already on: October 28, 2018, 09:21:14 PM
I feel as though you didn't read me right on your first pass. I'm as pro gun as you. Just anti lobby and pro common sense legislation. Let me fisk your points...

So, the NRA caused all the mass shootings?  The NRA advocates for certifiably insane people to be allowed firearms?  Last I heard, the NRA is lobbying group advocating for the civil liberties of it's members.  Please prove me wrong.

No, I dont think the NRA busted a cap in anyone's ass. However, they have been espousing some pro violence shit lately (I'll dig up the quotes if you ask nice) and yes, they are largely responsible for hamstringing gun legislation that would affect the baseline sale of guns. This is a known fact, and demonstrable. I mean, think about it. Legislation hurts sales. Less sales = less money. There is a reason why the NRA spends over 100 million annually to keep gun culture alive. Its profitable.

And funny you should mention insane folks + NRA. They recently lobbied to remove reporting requiring the SSA to report certain mentally disabled beneficiaries to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System. Which Trump dutifully signed into Law. Please see here:
https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-joint-resolution/40/actions

One's ability to defend him/her self is unfortunate?

The fact that one has to defend themself is indeed unfortunate. Yes, I sincerely hope that no one needs to use a gun. But if they do, then Thank God we have the liberties with guns that we do now. Again, pro gun here. But also Christian. Dont like violence, that's not WWJD.

WTF are you trying to say?  People with guns do 100% of the killing?  People with guns kill people 100% of the time?  Regardless, both are obviously wrong, making that a stupid statement on multiple levels.  

Be careful what you ask for.  If some kind of test is imposed I'll wager you're likely to fail it.

It's like you want me to be anti gun, but I'm not...

No, I was saying that in mass casualty events, it's always take a person with a gun. You know, cuz guns dont shoot themselves. I am trying to relate that guns aren't dangerous, crazy motherfuckers with guns are dangerous. Could I have said this differently? That's a serious question.

And finally, I come from a family of gun collectors and sport men. We have been using guns responsibly for many generations, and I hope to pass my collection along to my child before I leave this Earth. I am the furthest thing from a gun grabber. But the laws need to change my friend. Dont know how old you are, but I promise you this shit was not like this when you were growing up.

We should not be punished for the behavior of the lowest common denominator.

I would like to have a working tank and a roof mounted 50 cal on my mini van.  Lots of people are responsible enough to own these devices so I demand one as my right to bear arms (LOL jk I'm not American).

Lots of countries have figured out the balance.  Hunting is a sport but not a sport where you need a fucking assault rifle or even a hand gun.  Those 2 weapons are designed to do one thing only, kill a human.  They literally have no other purpose on the planet and would never exist if we didn't need to kill other people.

Generally countries agree that military weapons should not be in the hands of civilians no matter how many people can use them safely, it's just safer for EVERYONE if these weapons are not in civilians hands.

Now as far as the laws are shit without firepower.  How many times have you guys needed to revolt against your government with civilian firearms since independence?  How many other democracy's have had to have their citizens revolt against a tyrannic take over. If you had a president that tried to become president for life  Roll Eyes do you think the commanders and entire military would roll over and bend the knee.  If he did control the military do you think a few citizens armed with AR-15's and hand guns are going to present much resistance to the best military on the planet?Huh??

The fact that it has not happened does not mean we should tie our hands against the future. I would rather work out the kinks than throw the baby out with the bathwater.

If we took licensing more seriously (thorough testing, more extensive background checks), essentially it would resemble your paradigm of only the military having assault rifles, except trained and vetted civilians would be able to have them as well.

Honestly, in rural scenarios, you would be amazed at what a small group of well armed people can do against a government. Leo's dont function so well in non urban environments, only the military. If rural America suddenly said fuck it, we secede, it would actually be pretty difficult to contain. It's not a few citizens; virtually everyone in my community has multiple guns, at least one long gun and one hand gun. I mean that literally. I live between two farms Cheesy

But ARs are part of sporting and collecting culture as well. Not trying to engage in whataboutism, but consider the car. Has caused considerably more damage through misuse than guns have historically. Given how ubiquitous they are, we have evolved a very thorough system of testing and certification, and the use of civil liability, to ensure that those that use said tools are qualified to do so safely. That level of care needs to be applied to gun laws.

Start off by restricting guns to those convicted of domestic violence. They commit a tremendous amount of gun violence, more so than the mentally infirm.

A liberal on guns:

Heya peeps, GB here. If you dont know me, nutshell is I'm an American Black Southern Evangelical Liberal. Actually moderate. Grew up with guns. Read my old posts for more insight.

Guns aren't the problem. The gun lobby is (read NRA). A gun is a tool, for obtaining food, entertainment, and unfortunately, self defense. When I see a mass casualty event, one thing is invariably true for each and every single occurence:

The shooter is batshit crazy. And has access to legal guns.

I hate to be cliche, but guns dont kill people. People with guns do 100% of the time. We need stronger laws to determine who and who shouldn't be allowed to have guns. The founders, fleeing an oppressive and violent government, understand that citizens need military force in a truly democratic society. Laws mean shit if you don't have the firepower to back them up, and that rings true for both the citizen and the government. Do people need assault rifles? In most cases, no. Besides the legit firearm enthusiast, there is nothing you can hunt (save other people with ARs) that requires that much stopping power. Should they be illegal? Fuck naw. Because there are folks that are sane enough and responsible enough to enjoy these devices without posing a danger to the public. We should not be punished for the behavior of the lowest common denominator.

But on the same hand, things must change. I'd be disgenuine if I pretended like the US doesn't have a problem that other countries without guns dont. But I think there is a middle, reasoned approach that can reduce arbitrary violence.

@TEC, by a few years ago, did you mean two years ago, around the time Trump took office? This is around the time Antifa became openly active.

I would also disagree with conservatives being targeted generally. It's mainly Trump supporters, and those that are enabling this. Classic Republicanism is a noble idea, a necessary check on liberal policies that is supposed to balance out governance over the long term. But this brand of raw cultism is insane, and the general public is condemning this nonsense. Rather than a general push back against conservatism (because most folks are moderate on both sides), this is a direct response to Trump and the degradation of the office. We have a president speaking directly to white nationalism. We at least used to hide our shame, now we wear it like a firebrand of regressiveness.

Also, the recent wave of hate crimes is decidedly conservative. The majority of mass casualty events belong to conservative actors, at least in the recent few years.

Why are these actions more frequently occurring in aTrump presidency, more so than any other recent 4 years? It's the level of rhetoric coming from the head. It has incited everyone, and this generally more aggressive climate is the fruit of having an uncivil leader pander to his base.

Reaping and sowing and yada yada yada.

And a side note; Nazis are pretty much a universally condemned class. The ideology is so dangerous, it's fucking illegal in some places, literally.

How bad do you have to be fucking up in order to get your platform confused with that of a Nazi?

Trump could easily shed the anchor that racial nationalist provide to his platform. Only takes a few words, and it should be inconsequential given how small of a percentage of his base they are up  Cheesy

But instead, there are "fine people on both sides"...



27  Other / Politics & Society / Re: 2018 USA Mid Terms! Red or Blue Waves?!? on: October 27, 2018, 05:35:32 AM
but I will admit the media fucking loathes Trump, and has been riding his coattails to better ratings). What we haven't seen before is this divorce from reality, this embracing of wild conspiracy and falsehoods because they reinforce the narrative we would like to see. The parts of society that truly believed in the batshit weren't encouraged to have a voice. Social media has been a curse in this regard.

I don't personally consider the media calling out Trumps lies as the "media loathing Trump".  If any other POTUS lied THOUSANDS of times the media would have been "riding their coattails" as well...  I also don't consider fact checking the liar in chief as particularly antagonistic.

He literally made up a 10% tax cut on the lawn in front of Marine 1.  He promised the tax cut before the fucking mid terms, I mean this isn't a little stretch it is literally impossible as congress is on the campaign trail and not in session.

He is on tape describing his preferred method of sexual assault, he is an unnamed co-conspirator in a federal case.

Frankly speaking the fact that Trump was elected in the first place and the fact that soooooo many people believe his blatant lies is the reason why most non Americans believe that primates are more intelligent than the average red neck (MAGA bomber was a genius LOL).

I do agree that unfortunately the conspiracy losers have been a fringe group until recently when twitter/FB etc gives them a voice and Trump gives their moronic ideas credence.

At this point as a non American IMO if your countrymen aren't smart enough to check this lying racist retard with Congress and the Senate then you guys deserve everything Trump does to your country.  TBH with the turn out being up to the level of a Presidential year it could go a lot better for Republicans than the Dems might be thinking.

Oh, to be plain I understand the need to check the blatant falsehoods and half truths. I just think some of the shit they report on (like his weak ass hairline, or his shit diet) is tabloid fodder at best, and just a vehicle for ratings (I will admit, the outrage is refreshing. The constant gaslighting is having an effect; we are pretending like this shit is normal and I'm starting to not balk at some of the shit he says and does.

I ingest so much political rhetoric from so many places (I'm a black liberal and I read Breitbart religiously to taste the spin) that I'm kind of numb at this point. There is a 24 hour news cycle that is pretty much devoted to Trump and his antics. It creeps into my foreign publications as well.

There will always be something outrageous to report on. Trump will make sure of that. But the rest of Rome burns while we watch Nero tweet. This Cabinet has been tearing up the couches and ripping down the curtains on established policy. Gutted EPA. Rolled back workers rights. Not even gonna talk about DeVos. And if our border policy was fucked up before, well its fucking dead atm Wink

As an American, I cant call this one my international compatriot. His guys are really fired up with this Q shit, Kavanaugh, abortion rights."Democratic Mobs". Caravans of foreign invaders with a sprinkling of terrorists LMAO. It's like Christmas in July for conservatives atm, and a lot of people are willing to hold their nose in order to see a political agenda pass that wouldn't have a snowball's chance in hell given Americas slow progressive creep.  On the same hand, Trump has managed to piss off the LGBTQ crowd, blacks, Muslims, women, Mexicans etc. The political angst at Trump in office, still, after all this cockamamie shit, is a powerful force to get Democratic voters to the polls. Its surreal over here politically for everyone except Trumps core.

I cant say with certainty that saner heads will prevail in this case. And if they don't, then buckle in brother. It's going to be a wild fucking ride.



28  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Explosive devices sent to Bill/Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, George Soros, CNN on: October 27, 2018, 05:14:09 AM
Tbh, I don't think this matters much politically, despite all the hot air. This might swing a few conservative moderates and undecideds, but Trump's base is Trump's base. They do not perceive the rhetorical environment the President has fostered, and don't understand the constant attacks on Trump from liberal media. So any political coin gained is useless to spend.
What about the rhetoric by the likes of Maxine Waters, Corey Booker, Hillary Clinton, Eric Holder and others? Sometimes explicitly calling for violence and in others implicitly calling for violence. How do you feel about liberal Mayors ordering police to stand down for political purposes, resulting in danger to many innocent lives? What about either condoning or ignoring violence when it happens?

All that is okay, right? The double standard of the left is sickening and removes their credibility. Frankly many on the left with these double standard are outright bad people.

But none of these people are the POTUS.
I would hope that the highest office in our country was held to a higher regard. I don't like Trump, but he is the president and I respect the office and consequently the man. Americans should have a role model in the POTUS, as he is the literal representation of our nation on a global stage. Is this behavior acceptable to you, sincerely?

And finally, if it's enough to criticize on the other side, why condone the behavior from your own?

I would sit out any bets on the next few elections. We have never been here before. Times of great civil unrest typically portend political upheaval in ways that defy our common models. We have people yelling at kids on a field trip for speaking Spanish. And people screaming at folks just trying to eat lunch with their family. Last time shit was this real was during the civil rights movement. And we still haven't sorted that out (in fact, I would venture to say this is The Movement 2.0).

These last few years have been a clusterfuck strapped on an emotional roller coaster. Throw a rocket into all that somewhere for effect. We first saw the left react to Trumps win. Then we saw the Right react to the liberal outrage at Trump (the constant negative coverage. I'm like meh, they shit on Obama as well so I'm fine with this, but I will admit the media fucking loathes Trump, and has been riding his coattails to better ratings). What we haven't seen before is this divorce from reality, this embracing of wild conspiracy and falsehoods because they reinforce the narrative we would like to see. The parts of society that truly believed in the batshit weren't encouraged to have a voice. Social media has been a curse in this regard.

Would you be able to blame any side for their actions at this point? If the Dems get the House, they would be fools not to investigate and move to impeach. If the Repubs keep or solidify majorities, they should double down on pushing through their pro corp agenda at breakneck speed (deregulation, reduction of corporate taxes and degradation of individual civil rights). This is a rare moment in global politics that has the possibility to reshape politics as we have seen it up to this point.

If you are a true patriot, peeps, get out and vote. There are no excuses. Get off your ass. From the Proud Boys to Antifa, it doesn't matter. We will see the true consensus, the true will of the republic. But ONLY if you get the fuck up and vote.

This shit is insane. And if it hits the fan, I will ride all this mess out on my rural property until we calm the fuck down.

That's easy. I would open up a protection service and a quality assay lab. They will thrive when people figure out how dicey it is to buy unregulated products, and how hard it is to protect themselves from organized crime in a society with no law enforcement.

I like small government. But not at the expense of safety and order. The fact of the matter is that there are too many malcontents and morally bankrupt folks that will snatch up your shit in a heartbeat given the chance. It's how survival works.

Libertarian government can only work in a culturally homogeneous society, and that's a rare thing these days. I wouldn't buy too much from folks I couldn't hold personally accountable, there is little recourse for buyers in a model like this. If I didn't grow it, or get a personal recommendation from a trusted person, I just wouldn't consume it.

Tbh, I don't think this matters much politically, despite all the hot air. This might swing a few conservative moderates and undecideds, but Trump's base is Trump's base. They do not perceive the rhetorical environment the President has fostered, and don't understand the constant attacks on Trump from liberal media. So any political coin gained is useless to spend.

If this act of terror outrages you, then you probably weren't going to vote for 45 anyway  Wink most folks have already picked a side. This is either freaking you the fuck out, or you are absolutely loving this. And the partisanship from all sides just makes everyone double down. This won't fix itself.

And going by Breitbart comments, half of the board still thinks this is all a Soros funded false flag. Like the caravan  Grin


Dammit, when did we get so damned stupid? I cant denounce my fellow countrymen for their beliefs, we are all entitled to them.

Trump seems to think it's Google doing it themselves but I don't think that's the case. I'm not taking any political sides but we know that there's a LOT of negative articles about Trump so of course Google's algorithms are gonna put those higher than any of the good articles written about him. That's just how it works.
There's apparently a rule at Google that they try to not show negative results about a person when that is a search for the person by name.

It's pretty much certain they followed this rule / are following this rule with Hillary but not with Trump.

It's not "just how it works." It's intentional manipulation by the Google staff. It may not be company policy, entirely possible it's just the sort of people they get from the local community.



Or, is there even the remote possibility that the overwhelming majority of copy generated about President Trump is simply negative? You can't draw blood from a stone. The media does not like the POTUS; and 'liberal' (read - anti Trump) media is much more ubiquitous than the quasi conservative echo chambers. So, when you roll the Google dice re:Trump, you are most likely to hit shit, as this is the majority of the content available.

I say quasi conservative cuz this thing that Trump and his followers are doing is SO far from conservatism. I miss traditional, small gov, fiscally responsible conservatism. It's gone the way of the dodo as of late.

And the campaign finance thing seems like a real stretch, since Trump has buried personally-damaging stories like this on several occasions before he was running for president.

A former chair of the Federal Election Commission agrees that the campaign finance stuff has no merit: https://www.c-span.org/video/?450698-4/washington-journal-bradley-smith-discusses-michael-cohens-plea-deal-campaign-finance-laws
 

The office of the POTUS used to be a damned near sacred thing. An office of respect, prestige. Great men who put themselves to the side to serve country. Above party, race, above all.

When we do MAGA, I'd like to return to the time when that was the case  Wink

Predictive markets says 10/3 odds he's out in 2019. Spiked since he cowed to Putin on camera.

I say no, he won't be re-elected.


If there's a place and a way to place bets on whether Trump is in office in 2019, I will be happy to bet on the side that is wagering "Yes, he will be in office in 2019!"

Very intrigued by this particular offering! VU is exploring a persistent virtual world that allows to collect resources and skills. These can be applied to the economy of VU, via their platform native token, the VU. So far, they have a lot going for them:


Solid team/ experience level
The team has been doing high level titles for quite some time now. There are guys from the Halo franchise, as well as Assassin's Creed. With well over a decade of experience specifically in this vertical, and a very clear concept on what they would like to achieve, I believe they will actually make it all the way to a gold release, more or less on time.

Solid concept
The niche that the project is attempting to fill is very empty and desired. This particular style of game (something referred to as a RCE - real cash economy game - is a pretty rare bird. Since Project Entropia, the most notable one of these offerings, many companies have tried and failed to offer a platform like this. The closest we have seen implemented are the real money trade markets of games like Diablo 3. They were hugely successful, to the point of needing to be regulated due to abuse.

Working model
One of my favorite aspects of this project is the fact that they have a demo that works! I don't have any VR equipment, so I have not taken the tour myself, but there are lots of demo videos with the devs and VR players to review. The environment (the desert canyon specifically) is really gorgeously rendered, and stylistically seems a lot better that art I have seen on much more developed titles. The game also feature a cool ai system where each living thing acts off a system of triggers. This allows the environment to interact with itself, making for a very realistic and natural seeming environment. If this was not VR at all, I would still be impressed with the level of artistic development that has gone into the project thus far.

The game mechanics seem to work just fine as well. Day/night effects, physics and locational sound seemed great, and there were no obvious bugs or obstacles to gameplay for guys just picking up the VR googles and entering the world.

Aggressive Roadmap
They plan to have this wrapped up pretty quickly after the sale, according to the roadmap. Besides the demo environment available on the guided tour, they should be releasing an alpha version in the upcoming months, and be wrapped with the project for the most part by the latter part of 2019. That's pretty huge in the gaming world, where projects take 4-8 years to develop that have a much smaller scope than this.

Overall, this is the most promising VR/blockchain offering that I have seen of late (I follow these). If Ready Player One is any indication, soon VR will be a huge craze. And the Afterworld Project, and well as Planet Calypso have shown that folks are willing to invest big bucks into games with real cash economies. Early birds tend to become future uber players on games like these  Wink

The game is in a parallel world, a fantasy world, beautiful graphics and other project descriptions. All this is interesting. But, you guys. Would post a presentation in the form of a video so that you can evaluate the graphics.

Seems that this project is already dead.
Even if the concept is interesting, but if the team is nowhere to be found.
Then, this is considered a crap one.
But, I wonder if their trademark for LivingVR is really authentic?
Because if it is real, they won't abandon this project so easily.

Actually man, its still quite legit. They released the character classes, and they are currently giving out free apartments and VU tokens via airdrop. The art is pretty damned good, btw.


They even updated the site. Pretty big names on this one (they have devs from Assassin's Creed, Halo franchises) so Im following this for the time being. Not too many real cash economy games out there besides Entropia that have any promise, and this is full VR. Approved!

EmP: Where Technology Meets Fitness

 

Have you ever felt like going to the gym with a friend or trainer and can’t go since you don’t have a membership? What about if you have a gym membership and you want to go to your friend's gym to workout? Without a membership doing so is difficult if not impossible. Most people cannot afford multiple memberships and even if they can, doing so is an enormous waste of money. By taking advantage of blockchain technology, our app and through our specifically developed cryptocurrency, HAWCoin, we have created an ecosystem; we call The AVIARY. This gives our users a wide range of facilities to choose from.




About EmP
There is a large problem in the health and wellness industry where customers are overspending by entering in on long term memberships that are underutilized. The reality is that one out of five members quit going to the gym after the first month. The issue is that taking charge of ones’ fitness needs to become a habit and a way of life.

When people are trying to create this habit, it is not easy to make and adopt the change as well constantly find motivation. Allowing users to get a feel for a particular facility, or search for the right workout regimen for them, without making a long term commitment, is our solution to the overspending issue.

Using our custom "The Phoenix" blockchain technology that not only provides a payment method, it also will provide a way to track ones biometrical progress. We will dominate the market by use of our custom app “The Kettle” which you can download by scanning the QR Code.





Ease Of Use

Our application will be very intuitive and therefore easy to navigate for both the end user and provider. It is our goal to make the application as uncomplicated as possible, so that users can effectively and efficiently make the best choices for them while the health provider can quickly reap the rewards of being a part of our community and focus on running the daily operations of their respective businesses. Our proposed interactive map and calendar will enhance the experience for the end user.



Practicality
Combining all of the great features in our ecosystem, The AVIARY, we believe that all members of our community will find our app to be one of the most practical things encountered in their daily lives. At EmP we strive to be your coach and a part of the day that is embraced by all. We don’t want to be just another task that adds stress and strain to your already overflowing daily “To Do” list.

the problem is that krypton when registering the bounty has limited the sending to only two posts in the platform bounty0x, from there I can not register there

This is as intended. There is a maximum of two articles per user for the media campaign.
