Possibilities of Individual State ๐งต
Most people assume the human state is only biological and psychological. Yet the individual state contains far more possibilities than we usually recognize. Once this is understood, the limits we treat as absolute begin to dissolve.

A being usually identifies with one mode at a time. When it identifies with the sensory mode, only sensory limits appear real. When it identifies with the mental mode, the boundaries of thought appear final. These limits come from the standpoint, not from the being.

The individual state includes modes above and below mentality. These modes exist even when the being does not use them.

It belongs to the state by its presence, not by its exercise.

Practical implications of what Murray is saying here is that MAGA has to go a LOT harder to avoid being overwhelmed by indiscriminate over-reaction against diversity in general. ...
... There's exactly one way to realistically defend high-quality diversity, and that's to radically undo low-quality diversity.
... Tolerant, demographically inclusive liberals should be the people calling loudest for massive remigration (and increasingly are).
Reliably informed that Ofcom's going to trial balloon a suggestion that US sites that don't want to obey the Online Safety Act need to geoblock UK.
Geoblock us yourselves. The 1st Amendment says Americans do not need to change even one bit on our servers due to British laws.

Correct.
1) No regulation without representation.
2) If you want to censor your own people, own the decision yourselves. We're not going to help you.

So far, Ofcom has indeed nitpicked every geoblock Iโve advised on. When they nitpicked Kiwi Farms about it something in me just sort of snapped and thatโs when I made up my mind that they had to be stopped at any cost.
Hereโs a straightforward, plain-English explanation of every legal way a dishonest county registrar of voters in California could manipulate a close electionโwithout technically breaking any laws that would automatically trigger felony charges, halt certification, or force a do-over. These are based on real vulnerabilities in the Elections Code, regulations, and standard procedures, as they've been documented in audits, news reports, and expert analyses. I've drawn from actual cases where similar issues happened (though often called "errors" rather than intentional acts).
I'll list them one by one, explaining what the registrar does, how it sways the vote, why it's legal (with specific code references where relevant), and why it's hard to detect or stop. Remember, this assumes a registrar who's unethical but smartโthey stay within their discretion and blame everything on "human error" or "vendor issues." No conspiracy needed; just exploiting the gaps in the law.

1. Mass-Mailing Wrong Ballot Styles to Targeted Areas
- What they do: The registrar controls ballot printing and mailing through vendors. They could "accidentally" send the wrong ballot style (e.g., missing local races like city council or school board) to thousands of voters in a precinct that leans against their preferred candidate. Voters fill out what they get and mail it back, unaware.
- **How it sways**: Voters can't vote on key local issues, suppressing turnout for those races. Statewide votes get duplicated later, so overall numbers look fine, but a close local race could flip by hundreds of missing votes.
- Why it's legal: Mailing is required 29 days before Election Day (ยง3000), but no law mandates perfect accuracy or proactive notifications for style errors. Duplication of wrong ballots is explicitly allowed (ยง15154). Counties aren't required to report or fix mailing glitches upfrontโonly react if voters complain.
- Why hard to stop: Voters might not notice (e.g., they skip unfamiliar races). No statewide tracking of wrong-style mailings, and post-election audits don't reconstruct who got what.

2. Delaying or "Forgetting" to Mail Ballots to Unfavorable Neighborhoods
- What they do: The registrar sets the mailing schedule by ZIP code or precinct. They could delay sending ballots to areas that vote the "wrong" way (e.g., conservative exurbs or progressive college towns) until 10-15 days before Election Day, claiming "printer delays."
- How it sways: Many voters don't get their ballot in time, especially if they're busy or traveling. Late arrivals might miss deadlines, shaving votes from targeted groups and tipping a race by 1-2%.
- Why it's legal: The 29-day window is statewide (ยง3000), but no per-area deadline exists. "Vendor issues" are a common excuse, and no penalty for delays short of total failure.
- Why hard to stop: Voters can request replacements (ยง14288), but only if they know to call. No automatic alerts, and turnout drops look like apathy, not sabotage.

Everyone wants global exposure, but most donโt know the actual ways to invest outside India.
Here are the 3 simplest routes ๐

1) Direct Investing
Open a demat account with INDmoney, Vested, etc.
But the headache is research, you have to pick and track global stocks yourself. (ETFs also)
Also comes under LRS USD 250,000/year (โน2.2 Cr) limit.

2) Global Mutual Funds (India)
Some funds invest abroad, but the USD 7B limit is exhausted, so fresh investments are paused.
Examples โ Motilal Nasdaq 100 FOF, Mirae FANG+, ICICI US Bluechip.
These funds typically invest in a mix of global stocks and international ETFs.

Xโs new โAbout this accountโ feature just accidentally revealed a vast network of covert foreign influence accounts posing as Americans but operating from overseas โ the most sweeping public exposure of covert influence on a major platform since 2016. Story is linked below.
Some of these accounts have hundreds of thousands of followers. They present themselves as American patriots, veterans, moms, truck drivers, or lifelong Republicans. Many are explicitly MAGA. But their operators are posting from overseas while shaping U.S. political narratives.
Itโs not just MAGA accounts, but mostly it is. Several large anti-Trump accounts were also revealed as foreign-run, as were public health networks. The common denominator is deception: pretending to be American participants in US politics while pushing highly divisive content.
Ever wonder why theyโve made real meat so expensive and fake now?
Beef is so expensive to produce domestically now that Trump removed the tariffs to import it from Argentina.
What does eating meat regularly solve?

What does eating meat regularly solve?
Dr. James Salisbury, 1860s Civil War physician determined that eating minced beef regularly can help treat:
- Tuberculosis
- Rheumatism
- Mental disorders
- Digestive diseases
- Obesity
- Gout

McDonaldโs is one of the most toxic fast food restaurants in the world that has caused a massive array of diseases via obesity!

A Comparison of Jesus and Moses
A Comparison of Jesus and Moses
In todayโs message, we will take a look at how the writer of Hebrews makes a stark comparison between Jesus and Moses. For the purpose of proper context, remember that this person was writing to an audience of the New Testament Jews for the purpose of communicating an important
message from God that they needed to understand. As it is with every other part of the bible, these messages are timeless and also very applicable to both you and me today.
To begin, letโs ask the question โWhy does the writer feel the need to make this comparison?โ Jesus and

We were reunited, my shieldmaiden and her illicit van, and now we had to figure out what to do next.
I had a lot of money in accessible (thanks Amazon RSUs), and so decided to execute on our dream of buying land and building a homestead.

I found a great looking 38" RV on craiglist for a great price, except it had been parked for 5 years. I went and met the elderly couple who told me if I could get it started, they would give me $5,000 off.
It is impossible to threaten me with a good time, so I went to work on the underside. It had to be fuel, spark, or air flow.
In short, I got it to fire. I took it to get new tires and new brakes, and away we went, on a zig zag route from Phoenix to Snowflake, AZ.

My father is buried there and I needed to bare my soul to him on what had happened and what I had done. I sought guidance.
Restored, we drove northward through New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, and then Montana to find where we would live.
