re: A fetus is a soul
Prove it. What is a soul made of?
Depends. Could a soul refer to a conscious? Which in that case, a zygote doesn't have any capability to be conscious. Do you consider there to be a difference between a fetus at the last trimester compared to a newly born baby? Which one has the soul, and is the difference between the presence of a soul existing in the womb versus postpartum, meaning a soul might magically appear after birth. |

https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2021/09/covid-hospitalization-numbers-can-be-misleading/620062/The study found that from March 2020 through early January 2021—before vaccination was widespread, and before the Delta variant had arrived—the proportion of patients with mild or asymptomatic disease was 36 percent. From mid-January through the end of June 2021, however, that number rose to 48 percent. In other words, the study suggests that roughly half of all the hospitalized patients showing up on COVID-data dashboards in 2021 may have been admitted for another reason entirely, or had only a mild presentation of disease.
Covid positive case count was also inflated anywhere you look, when you begin to consider the number of mildly symptomatic or asymptomatic individuals who went in and got a test because they were readily available, when they need not be tested. And there never seemed to be any objective measure of hospitalizations due to Covid versus "with Covid". If you are hospitalized in any first world country, of course they'll test you for Covid. Does that change the reason you were hospitalized for? No...

I've found a lot of people do understand volatility factor if Bitcoin, they just happen to cave in and panic cell when things aren't going well. You can put in whatever you want into bitcoin and within the next 10 years you will see returns. That isn't to say there won't be massive crashes from now until that point, with new investors jumping ship.

The one and only reason - gives them less fiscal control over their citizens. A centralized currency means the government retains all the power, and it means they can control the money supply. Within an instant the government can essentially freeze all assets and lock you out of your finances.
Also means when they ruin the economy, they can retain even more power as they prop up fiat through reckless printing.

Perhaps a slight hyperbolic title, but I want to point out, the largest currency in the world - USD, will absolutely collapse within the next couple decades. It is inevitable. Another underwhelming jobs report - https://www.cnbc.com/2021/09/03/jobs-report-august-2021.htmlInflation will spiral out of control with so little people returning to work, and with a 5 percent inflation rate already, a labor shortage is only compounding the issue. Also to consider - the Federal reserve balance sheet has steeply increased over the last 1.5 years, at an attempt of quantitative easing. They are essentially taking on assets that is injecting too much USD into the American economy. And interest is building on the trillions of US debt. Add this all together, and USD is done for, soon. |

The technology is not advanced enough or cheap enough to get a good ROI if you invest in solar for the average consumer. You might have hydroelectric power or windmills used in isolation in some countries if the burden of electricity is small, but larger countries don't have any chance at switching to renewable any time soon, so perhaps the answer is what you mean by "the future."
Nuclear power should be in the near future, though. The main problem with nuclear is what to do with the resulting waste, but it seems the carbon foot print of disposing nuclear waste is lower than that of fossil fuels.

yes leaving equipment, weapons and vehicles behind looks like a silly thing to do. but i bet if you look deep enough that there was probably a deal like: 'let american troops leave peacefully and here is your compensation, weapons and vehicles we'll leave behind'
But even then the Biden administration trusted the Taliban to let Americans to the airport, after telling everyone he didn't trust the Taliban. So which one was it? He also seemed to know that the Taliban was taking up areas of and in his phone call to the President, this is after telling the public that the Taliban would not take over so quickly. If he thought the Taliban would be such a large threat, disabling the weapons systems was the move, even if it was written in the deal. Why didn't he? Either a strategic failure or an intel failure. |

Crypto is strictly an economic system with a hands off approach, you can't conflate the economic system and governmental system of a country. Capitalism is a tenet of democracy, so unless you are looking for anarchism, you still need centralized government. There still remains responsibility of government outside of the economy.

Prestigious and omniscient Dr. Fauci having zero clue of what he's talking about: https://twitter.com/tomselliott/status/1436366439901024262Read the paper for yourself, make up your own mind - https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.08.24.21262415v1It's amusing that lost in the discussion of herd immunity are the naturally immunized. It's taboo to mention that the naturally immunized don't need the vaccine, and the reluctance is by the health professionals to admit that the naturally immunized don't need the vaccine is also concerning. Waning immunity is the only concern for the previously infected, unvaxed. Vaccines can give you longer immunity before needing a booster, but Israel has already required 4th boosters, so it seems even they are not confident that vaccinated immunity lasts. WHO Chief says to pause the discussion on booster shots, two FDA officials resigned over a booster program. |

https://twitter.com/evanhill/status/1436422176425578496Military strike kills innocent family thought to be ISIS members. The Americans had to look tough after Biden's senility costed American lives. They gathered around the table and cycled through whatever "targets" they could pick from based on illegitimate intel in order to appear as if they were not going to tolerate terrorism. It didn't matter who it was, whether it was some random low level ISIS member, as long as they got their headlines "retaliatory strike," ASAP that's all that matters. Unfortunately what was thought to be a car full of bombs, turns out was just buckets of water. American government officials are truly incompetent, but you already knew that.

Read his twitter chain here - https://twitter.com/brian_armstrong/status/1435439291715358721Large governmental institutions in charge of financial systems trying to curb crypto currency growth, not shocking to say the least. He mentions there were some other crypto currency based lenders already, but the SEC defined a crypto loan as a security, which doesn't make sense. Binance in the UK was banned by a regulator as well so the intentions are clear - government will do what it can to stop mass adoption of crypto. |

I mean, hitler seems understandable. If you try and post covid information they will censor your account. It wasn't until the lab leak theory became mainstream until they finally gave in and allowed discussion of the virus origin. Plenty of people report that if you try and talk about masks, you'll get labels slapped all over your post linking to "official" covid-19 sources. Facebook is a piece of trash and no one should use it, Twitter is the same way - delete social media.

Twitter is filled with crypto shills, I can assure you. It will only trend when the price comes crashing down, and a bunch of bot accounts try to save their bottom line by tweeting "buy the dip" or such nonsense. CEO of Twitter Jack is also a bitcoin advocate, seems to care much about centralization except when it comes to his own platform in which he censores anyone right wing, or anyone who has the audacity to disagree with leftist speak.

Advertisements don't bother me, I thought you were going to talk about centralization of the internet (maybe you were alluding to this and just using ads as an example). Notice how all the big platforms use AWS for their web hosting? What happens when Amazon, one of the largest corps in the world, has centralized control over giant companies? They get to run the show. Amazon can force small online platforms to obey their own rules or they risk getting kicked, and the alternatives for web hosting are scarce. This is a bigger threat than predatory advertising. You have the ability to visit websites freely, but if giant companies continue to take up market share, you can be sure they'll force sites to adhere to specific standards. See the Parlor fiasco by AWS here - https://www.pcmag.com/news/report-amazon-to-suspend-parler-from-aws |

If you're a day trader and that is thing, then I guess dumping into a stable coin would be the way, but it's a bit foolish to try and predict the crypto market, long term holding will guarantee a ROI if you just want to make money, and ideally, the market volatility isn't something to worry about as wider adoption would prevent large swings in the price.

nope.. its called psychology teenager-young adults would socialise. schools, nightclubs, restaurants, pubs. so yea ofcourse those unvaccinated at that age would be higher where as the older adults unvaccinated. shows that while unvaccinated they atleast have the common sense of adulthood to not socialise as much. and so the unvaccinated would not mingle to risk getting infected, though this number is not zero which shows some are idiots. where as those vaccinated think they are safe from harm and so they would mingle. knowing they will get infected but the chances of the infection causing harm is lesssened due to the vaccine. thus making middle aged adults that are vaccinated have a higher infection amount.. but as said a lower hospitalisation amount i myself pre-vaccine ensured i socially distanced. but now vaccinated i am happy to socialise because if i get it. i know the chances of me being severely ill is alot less now. if infected yes ill still isolate for upto a fortnight so i dont spread it. yes i know the viral load would be far less than an unvaccinated person but i still will take the precaution to isolate to not chance passing it onto someone else even if it is in a lower viral load... why.. common sense and common courtesy I figured this was the case if the data started to repeat itself, aka no longer a statistical anomaly, of course, the sample size isn't nearly large enough to draw conclusions yet. I'm also more inclined to believe that anyone that is vaccinated is also more likely to go get tested if they experience symptoms, whereas someone that is unvaccinated is more likely to be nonchalant and just stay at home instead of getting tested, so their positive case result won't ever register in the NHS system. |

Trump doesn't look very healthy to me.
If you've seen his recent pictures he lost a lot of weight. If you've seen elderly folks that are heavy, a lot of the times they lose weight before they die. Now, he says he's on a new diet ditching hamburgers for steak, but that's questionable.
Anyway, he isn't the best choice. He's too old and really should have beaten Biden the first time.
Although, nothing would entertain the world more than a Kamala Harris v. Trump debate. Lord please.

Their GDP is around 27 billion USD so this is actually a big first step, even if the amount isn't too large. Yeah, for a country, 200 BTC is nothing. Point is the government is pro-BTC and isn't trying to phase out crypto in order to artificially prop up their own currency. They aren't trying to implement harsh taxes on crypto industries either. It's a small investment and it's a gesture. Nothing wrong with that.

its as if america wants turbulance and terror to continue to make america look important to need to step in with aid/support and if things go too long without diplomacy. ending up restarting another war.
It's more incompetency than malicious intent. US troops will be back in Afghanistan because a terror threat will eventually harbor, forcing more troops into the region. Taliban, very progressive folks of course, will surely not allow islamic extremists to consume the country, working along side members of terrorist organizations. After all, they may (or may not have) allowed an ISIS-K bomber to kill over a 150 people. |
