Howdy there, partner! Welcome on into the Stacker Saloon.
Saddle on up to a stool and spill the beans about your day, fire away with them questions, or let loose and give us the lowdown on your wild and woolly life. We're all ears, so don't hold back!
We're open round the clock, so mosey on in whenever you please!
What will happen when a whole generation of young people wakes up to the fact that not only have they been robbed of the fruits of their labor, but also of their health, children, family, community, God/spirituality AND the ability to redeem themselves? Will humanity survive the upheaval? The flipside of this is - if there’s no upheaval, we are doomed anyway. Bitcoin is the way to make that upheaval a peaceful one - simply by making things obsolete, as opposed to destroying them.

All this already happend in former USSR, people still remember the "better" soviet time before Gorbachev, even religious ones. It might repeat in EUSSR when it would fall due to it's own gigantic weight, remembering the great union.
Though I wouldn't forget, nor forgive the romanian orthodox church for being the money launder of the public fonds. (there are english subtitles). And I don't even talk about russian one...

The solution is not to take down or destroy the WEF or the World Bank or the IMF or any other vague, yet menacing agencies. The solution is to make them obsolete.

The ChillDKG BIP is currently in the draft stage, and we're looking for community feedback on design and implementation details. If approved, ChillDKG BIP can be used in combination with a BIP for FROST signing to bring the full power of FROST to Bitcoin, reducing transaction costs and improving the privacy of multisig wallets.

Rant incoming...
This "hero" thing our culture has been doing for a while now is really getting tiresome to me. When we pretend that having a profession makes one a hero we devalue the acts of true heroism. Gonna pick on the "teachers are heroes" thing.
My wife was telling me a story she heard from a woman that takes in many foster kids. Kids that have been abused and abandoned. These kids come from very tragic situations and often struggle in school and life in general.
Well, one of these teachers, I mean heroes told this woman that her child had to pass these quizzes for the teacher to get paid. She is aware that this child was living in hiding for the last couple years and didn't even attend school. This teacher is apparently showing no patience, compassion, or understanding to this child. It makes the blood boil. The child is doing very well considering. She is scoring A's on everything except tests. She is excited about learning! However, this teacher has been running down her student and putting pressure on her, making it about her own salary...
There are many fine teachers. I know some that are amazing people and have love and passion for the work they do but when we just use blanket statements about any group it does those that are truly extraordinary a disservice. In my experience there are many teachers that are more like villains that heroes. In this case this is a government school. They have a union and from my time working in the public education system and my father's time working in it I can tell you people like this woman are not rare. What is rare are the amazing teachers that make a massive impact on student's lives. When I worked with teachers most were new and full of passion for their work but the system grinds it out of them. Many leave the field for work that they can have more control over. If you care about your work, being a teacher is hard work. If you just want a paycheck and enjoy being a drone its not hard work. Its easy. I believe this is the main reason why we see so many terrible people in the profession.
Calling every medical person, police, firefighter, or soldier a hero is as dumb as calling every person of any group dumb or evil. It devalues those that are truly heroes.
End rant.

Its time we stop this identity virtue crap. Its much more broad than the 'woke' culture.
reply
I agree, we should be reserving the term for individuals who have earned it. I am fine with applying the term fairly broadly, but only to individuals who really step up and make a special impact on the lives of others, while paying a heavy toll for it.
A teacher could be a hero (that's how I feel about my dad's early teaching career), as could a nurse, etc., but the overwhelming majority are not and would not be even if given the opportunity.

Human Rights Act

Many people fight government over changes to “human rights” and most notably the “Human rights Act”.
However without the ability to read and see the truth, this is a futile fight and pointless.
When we breakdown the language, we can see the trap as follows:
  • Human: this is not referring to Man, but “colour of man”, which is a “monster without rights”.
  • The combination of the word “human” and “right” now makes it a Title Privilege.
  • The word “Act” means, “acting as law”, so therefore not law.
Your rights do not come from some else, for if they did you would be a slave.
If your rights came from someone else, they can be taken away.
