I would be very surprised if Sam Bankman-Fried served more than a few weeks in prison before his sentence got commuted to house arrest that he will use to spin up the next billion dollar tech scam
Police officers came to our highschool once a month with drug dogs, we had to line up in the hallways while they sniffed us. The cops would berate us the whole time despite nobody acting up on account of, you know, the guns. They could go through your locker and throw your shit on the floor if they wanted.
Our crime was existing as children in a low income area
The alternative to objective truth is scary to contemplate.
If my truth is just as valid as yours, even if they directly contradict each other, then truth loses all meaning.
It’s a short road to “Nothing is true, and everything is possible,” the ideology that journalist Peter Pomerantsev argues has taken hold in Putin’s Russia, where facts and truth are treated as endlessly malleable.
I strongly advise those who hold Anti-Capitalist principles to think deeply about how they participate in manufactured divisive discourse. So much of this is content crafted to advance the goal of colonizing your mind and time. The more you become entrenched the more revenue they generate off your outrage and participation. Exercise good discernment.
The Demon Core: On May 21, 1946, a Manhattan Project physicist was showing his colleagues how to bring the exposed core of a nuclear weapon nearly to the point of criticality, when his screwdriver slipped. Nine days later, he was dead.
@RustyBertrand Very interesting story. I've been working around low level ionizing radiation for nearly 30 years. So far no third eye. But bad things can happen if you're not careful! Tbh, I'm more scared of the regular chemicals used in the lab where I work.
Ayyyy #GearSquad let’s talk about amplifier speakers today. What’s the best speaker you’ve heard or used? Size? What amp was it paired with? Tell us why it changed your sonic life. #guitar#bass#synth
@RustyBertrand Malachite is a sacred crystal of #Hathor , goddess of desire. If you have this near you at all times you're probably too busy gettin' it on to be surfing questionable web sites.
If anyone would be interested I can describe the stuff I'll be using and the basic process for the smoke reading I'll be doing as part of a banishment tonight!
Hi! A bit of an introduction here. I’m Dawn (she/her). I’ve always loved nature but recently discovered #paganism and I’m currently on a path to try and incorporate it into my life. I’m reading ‘Path of Paganism’ by John Beckett and it’s such a refreshing read. I’m also a beginner Tarot reader. So happy to be here on this server. Looking forward to getting to know new people! Have a wonderful day.
@gallowswitch I use white quartz in my alchemical practice. Is has incredible powers of energy transfer because of its spiral hexagon structure. And yes, it's certainly programmed. :blkmgc004:
