Something new that I found is this link
Remember that mass-media will make you a very kind person and stop you from taking rational decisions.
It's about more emotions and less thinking such that you jump to conclusions.

Oh and remember, don't blame yourself for anything like wars, your country going wrong or something like that. Here in UK we have Brexit and
Barclays just sent £200b in assets to Ireland this morning. Should people of UK blame themselves for Brexit? Not really, UK parties are financially
supported by business owners / leaders of the highest industries.

The decision comes from the top, not from the bottom. Think about it like an
ocean but reversed. On top of the ocean we have the 'bottom' of our society: it's where you can see the waves  / the chaos of the society. The
bottom of the ocean is the 'top' of our society. You may not know what's at the bottom, however a small movement in tectonic plates can create
a tsunami that moves everything on top of the ocean
.

It is not you, it's them. You'll find difficult to accept that because you've probably been trained to blame yourself

I gave you 2 merits for starting the topic.

re: Bill and Melinda Gates: You have to hunt around for the true comments, and many of the ones that show vaccination in a bad light are removed. For the real truth, you need to look at the additives in the products, and the real test results.  The purported success of these injections of poisons is the creation of anti-bodies and not for the prevention of the disease, and often these are for diseases that are no longer relevant. Nature morphs disease to ensure that it continues to be successful. The Gates are globalists, and they have a target of reducing the world population by 80%, and they plan to achieve this by reducing fertility and shortening lives by a variety of means. These include war, poverty, homosexuality and religious extremism, as well as vaccination.
Thanks for sharing your point of view.
Personally, I feel like I'm not sure whether these vaccines are great or not because I'm not a scientist and my knowledge in chemistry & medicine is relatively
irrelevant. I don't know how bad vaccines are however, when I suffered from loss of conscious for not sleeping 1 week, all I know is that I was injected
with vitamins and I felt very good again. At the same time, if it not was for my parents I would have been administrated some medical treatment for
epilepsy which would be unrelated to what I had. If I would have received that treatment, today few years later I may suffer very often of
headaches, be agitated, suffer from lack of energy and would have to go through a brain surgery.

At around 14 years old I had a vaccination and, I also had a vaccination at 18 years old for meningitis. I had
vaccination when I was very young (7 years old, 5 years old and when I was a baby < 1 yo). I'm very good at what I'm doing and I don't
think I was ever affected.

Have you ever been affected?

Hope I won't be seen as an extremist but I believe that a world without crimes, hackers, breaches, hunger, fights, wars and other
similar things would not be a real word.
I believe in something called "balance of good and bad". Imagine a scale, on the left you have the "good" and on the right you have the "bad".
If you have too much good, chaos happens. If you have too much bad, chaos happens. You need to have them in equal proportions.

Oh, and doing bad to someone is much easier than doing good to someone. Tell me, is it easier to kick someone or offer them $10 after 1 hour of work
on minimum wage? That's why the good represents balls of lead because "it's more difficult to do good". The bad represents balls of wool on our scale
because "it's easier to do bad". To put the scale on balance, you need to do more bad than good. That's why you should always attempt to do good things,
and if you end up doing bad things don't blame yourself because you just contributed to the other side.

Many of you won't agree on that but remember, you need sadness to experience higher forms of happiness. A better example, you need summer
to remember the cold weather in winter, and you need winter to remember the hot weather in summer.
304  Other / Serious discussion / How mass-media manipulated in my country on: January 25, 2019, 01:26:06 AM
It's no news that mass-media = mass-manipulation.
One of the biggest TV channels in my country, Romania (Dracula's country), called Antena 1
runs different ads that are supposed to be for your good, like "For a healthy life, drink at least 2 litres of water a day". The competitor channel of Antena 1, called
PRO TV started running ads like that as well, such as "1 in 4 adults do not get their children vaccinated. Go vaccinate
your kid bla bla bla".

In 2017, Antena 1 said that "Bill Gates wants to reduce population by 10%-15% through vaccination". Then, a voice-over says "remember all these tv ads telling you
to vaccinate your kids?". You can quickly make the connection here!
I have the source which is in Romanian unfortunately. The title for such news is that "rich people want us to be fewer people". [ source ] (see how "us" is used for making Antena 1 on your side);

What Bill Gates REALLY said is that many people in poor countries have multiple children because they are afraid of their current children dying because
of poor health condition (no vaccination). VACCINATING people will reduce population by 10% - 15% because parents are likely to have less kids, since
their present children will not die. I mean, just look at rich countries and see how many kids / family.

I looked for Bill Gates claiming that on the entire Google and guess what, it's not indexed because it's fake news and nobody talks about it Smiley
Full fact check: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/bill-gates-vaccinations-depopulation/ (found through duckduckgo)

Again, a proof that mass-media is the worse source of information. You better be uniformed than misinformed.  You don't get the full facts which
leads you to form a bad opinion about things.

Counter Strike Global Offensive:
MANY players spent ~ $100/each for skins.
25 guys spending $30k = $750k
7,500 spending $100 = $750k

The second is more likely, and remember we don't take in consideration the big guys spending a lot in csgo skins.
How much does fortnite earn from skins?
These games are not games, they have been real business for years
Clash of Clans earned around $1 million a day in revenue at its peak

I imagine that's a lot of work behind, especially the editing part. Congratulations on the hard work. I can see
that you already managed to get 1,000 views! The number of dislikes should not demotivate you and instead
push you forward to do better videos. I am not going to give you ideas, you should shape yourself so we get
the 'real you'. Don't let yourself shaped by the others, remember to make progress. You'll never reach your true

308  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Is trump the problem or is the media just hating on him on: January 18, 2019, 01:10:34 PM
I love the fact that Trump improved overall US' economy which grew during his presidential years.
He admitted to be wrong on Afghanistan and reversed Obama's withdrawal.
Also he is fighting against terrorists (remember the chemical weapon of terrorists
where he enforced Obama's red line against Syria's chemical weapons)

At the same time,
I don't understand how a wall can solve the solution. I would rather pay the billions of dollars to
MONITOR borders because if you build a wall, you'll also have to MONITOR it since people
can jump over it / use a ladder (unless it's an electric wall but this is unlikely).

What I don't understand about Trump is the military threats that he is creating in the entire world.

- Why does Trump want to exit NATO?
- Why does Trump want to exit the nuclear treaty?
- Why does Trump look like he does everything Putin wants?
- Maybe I am a little harsh on this one, I am trying not to hate, but who is Ivanka Trump (Trump's daughter) to be given an entire OFFICE IN THE WHITE HOUSE? How can someone like USA condemn UAE for passing the crown and top kingdom roles from parent to children and cousin, when essentially Trump is doing the same? This is a little bit of hypocrisy here but it's just my opinion.
- Why did Trump pull out of Paris Agreement about Climate change? I can understand he has maybe 40-50 years left, but what about our children's children? He looks egoist on this one. Unless he has an explanation which is not about 'saving money', I condemn him about this decision.
309  Other / Off-topic / Should companies be allowed to display ads to children? on: January 18, 2019, 12:42:04 PM
As you may be aware, on 25th May 2018 the General Data Protection Act was introduced in Europe to allow
individuals select whether they want to be targeted by ads relevant to them or not.

WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW is that before that day, with the introduction of Apple FaceID, three
companies' investment pitch were about "Smart targeting & smart FaceID".

Do you know these moments when you play a smartphone game, a video ad is playing and you're looking away or doing something else?
Start-ups said, "what if we could force people to watch ads through FaceID and stop the video if they are looking
away?". While this isn't in practice today, we are moving towards this practice. Companies are pushing this move.

Imagine the effects on children when forced to look at ads. They will think that ads are something normal and they will consume information
without even noticing it, just like zombies.  Should companies be allowed to display ads to children?
310  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Vaccinated vs. Unvaccinated: Guess who is Sicker? on: January 16, 2019, 08:18:29 PM
Yes, but first tell me how many people who are not vaccinated arrive at the age where these conditions can be noticed?
How many anti-vaxers died for not being vaccinated, when they could prevent illness with a vaccine?

Of course, the lower the number of people, the lower the odds. It's normal since 80% of americans who are vaccinated have higher
chances of developing these conditions, while the others 20% have lower chances because they are less. Can you see it now?

This is a propaganda image used to switch your opinion. Me no likey likey

312  Other / Off-topic / Re: TOO MUCH EXCHANGES HACK. DO YOU THINK IT MIGHT BE STAGED? on: January 16, 2019, 05:11:34 PM
I don't understand in full how exchanges work however I believe there is a solution for mitigating such security issues.

One way, as my colleague above mentioned is by taking appropriate measures of security (take Binance as an example)

Second, why are these 'decentralized' exchanges called 'decentralized' when they are so centralized? For example, why storing
user's cryptocurrencies when you should let them interact with their own wallet?
I don't have a full, clear picture but I believe there are multiple ways to mitigate these risks. One thing for sure, these exchanges
don't look like they are interested in avoiding such conditions to happen.
Here me and the entire community start being suspicious whether these attacks are staged
313  Other / Off-topic / Re: Why do people get credit cards loan? on: January 16, 2019, 03:28:56 PM

I guess I went too fast.

No, you can't keep the money without paying it back. But you did pay it back when you sent in the application. You were the one loaning the money to them through your application.

They don't give you money trusting that you will pay them back. They borrow your money from you, and pay it back with theirs. The money they borrow from you is the application form with your signature on it. They pay it back by sending you the credit card. You simply transfer the card to cash at the ATM, or product at the store.

Most people have it backwards, regarding who is loaning what to whom when.

If you don't want the card cancelled, you need to make payments. If you want to cancel the card, simply keep the money that they traded to you for the app.

You might wind up going to court, but you don't have to. And if you understand how they are trying to mess with you for no cause, you will win. Google "Tom Schauf, bank loans." Look here https://rodscontracts.com/docs/TomSchauf/001AmericasHopeHowToCancelBankLoans.pdf and here http://discharge-debt.com/id135.htm. There are many more.

The greatest understanding in all this is, bank and lending institution loans are not loans. Rather, they are methods for creating new money, that you and the bank do together.

Cool

Ok, thanks for the pdf and the discharge-debt where it explains it very well. I don't understand how debts are good for a country since it could lead
to an economic collapse. We do not take in consideration loaning trillions of dollars to students who we are expected to pay back.
I found out something interesting. It looks like putting a country in debts is better than having the country with 0 debts. I found this:
Quote
A nation's debt grows when its revenues are less than its expenditures; to be able to fill the gap, it has to borrow the money. It can reduce the amount it borrows in one of two ways. The country can either raise revenues or decrease its expenditures.

My vision about debts is still blurred. I am not able to envision the advantages of getting a small loan of $10k, and pay back $10.8k
Do you guys use it for shopping? Open businesses? Or do you hope to increase your loan such that you can take a huge amount out and
successfully multiply the value?
I don't understand how this enables me to benefit on the long term when all it happens is the bank taking more money from me. I borrow $10k and, in
most cases your net worth is $800 down because you have debts. I understand it helps the nation, by why would an individual get into debts?


Let's take a middle class example/scenario.
You earn $1.8k/month or $21.6k/year
You can get $8k from your credit card and you repay back 8% or, let's just assume it's your first year and pay 0% interest.
You've got $8k you repay $8k.

Why did you get $8k from your credit card? Do you use it to make yourself feel richer when your year income is low?
Do I have to remind you that, if you earn $29k this year (salary + loan), in the following 12 months you will earn only
$13k (salary - loan)?
Makes no sense, or I'm too stupid to see the benefits. Enlighten me by showing me the advantages

selected the right images, you won't be authorised.
That being said, I never select the poles and only the parts containing the proper traffic light.
The most important part:
If one pixel of the traffic light expands on another selectable part, make sure to click on it.

As a person who doesn't live in France or ever lived there, I FULLY AGREE WITH EVERYTHING SAID

I know many people living there. Some WERE successful entrepreneurs, owning small restaurants in different
areas of France. I can tell you that since 2016 everything went bad for some reasons and all of my friend's restaurants closed. He told me that people in France
seem to have lost the sense of enjoying their life. People are more likely to save money rather than go with their family to a restaurant or enjoy their time.

Either French people have changed their culture and values overnight or something is going on. Do you believe that the economic state of France which
GDP in 2014 decreased by 0.4 TRILLION and hasn't recovered yet is affecting the overall situation? Also why does it look that in all countries, USA, UK, France, etc.
we are going 'backwards' / negatively progressing?
UK going out of the UE, making a situation similar prior to World War II,
France being what you stated in the post,
USA on the edge of leaving NATO like in World War II
319  Other / Off-topic / Re: Why do people get credit cards loan? on: January 16, 2019, 12:44:01 AM
When you have the credit card application in hand, before you sign it, does it have any value? No! You can't get a card until you sign it.

When you sign it, the application form becomes valuable so that you can get a card.

You have loaned the bank some paperwork of value. They have repaid the loan by sending the card that you can use. Get your value back by using the card. Then, if you don't want to use the card any longer, simply keep the money. After all, it is a loan repayment from the bank to you for the value that you gave them when you signed the app.

Cool
Are you insinuating that you can keep the money without repaying it back?HuhHuhHuh
People went to jail last time I checked

So far, I don't see any reason why I would get a credit card loan. For me, I'm asking myself, would a rich person ever use a credit card if they
were a poor person? If yes, how would that benefit them?
Getting a credit card loan to satisfy their own needs: not likely
Getting a credit card loan to invest in their business: not likely (why would they take so much risk when they can convince a VC or angel investor)
Getting a credit card loan to invest in stocks, bonds, shares, forex, etc.: not likely. this sounds like the most stupid option as well. If you believe you should use credit card loan to invest in speculations, you can already say bye to your money.

My conclusion is that credit cards have been created by bankers to target middle class. They try to convince you it's a good idea by having the chance to
get a loan anytime you want, when it clearly doesn't benefit you and creates a feeling of a little more 'wealthy man/woman'.

even that you inherited $420 billion from your grandmother. As you can see in the link, you can't go to the project website which domain doesn't even contain
bitcoin. It's supposed to send you to something called "Bitcoin Revolution" which server either couldn't resist the load of requests or, the website stopped existing. This link is not real.
