I have to admit, I didn't see Rousseau at first on @jordanlperkins's shelf and I was very disappoint. Fortunately, I looked more closely.

It's weird how the people Trump keeps accusing of being behind a deep-state conspiracy to delegitimize his election and remove him from office keep trying to prove him right that there was a deep-state conspiracy to delegitimize him and remove him from office.
Andrew McCabe's admitting that the Department of Justice considered invoking the 25th Amendment is like sending Trump ten dozen roses and a year's supply of chocolate. Trump couldn't get a bigger - or better - Valentine's Day gift.
Andrew McCabe has probably been singing this in the shower for the last week.

It's officially that time of year.
I love these things. Shame one or two always go bad when I get the big bag.
I now have enough apples to start my own orchard.

Oh, look, I got a bot. And not the good kind like the one from the grocery store.
Some of the people can be fooled all of the time. Because they want to be.
Me: "The Green New Deal would require banning cars and airplanes to work, and even then it wouldn't."
Bot: "Why do you oppose progress?!"

Gravity is a Lie

Gravity as a “Force” of nature necessitates a moving Earth; the opposition to Geocentricity & Scripture was first proposed in 1687. To produce a “Force” & transfer that force over distance requires “Energy”. Where is the energy source for Gravity?
Suppose for a moment Newton was correct. Imagine 2 objects suspended in proximity to each other without friction. The “Force” of Gravity would necessarily cause motion of the 2 objects according to Force=Mass times Acceleration.
In the case of the Earth & Sun, the smaller object is subjected to greater acceleration than the larger one, so at this point one can easily see a contradiction with the bible passages: Psalm 93:1, 1Ch 16:30, Job 26:7, Jos 10:13, Ecc 1:5, Hab 3:11, Gen 1 KJV

1Ti 6:20 applies...

Figuring out what kind of situations set off my dysphoria has made a huge difference in my life. Managing it more like a mood or anxiety disorder has worked a lot better for me than treating it as a sign of an inner identity that needs to be expressed.
My dysphoria/internal gender feelings can change a lot and be somewhat confusing and chaotic. Turning these feelings into an identity and then trying to make that identity visible to other people just caused more stress. That approach wasn't satisfying or helpful.
It's better if I think of my "gender identity"-type feelings as private experiences that I only need to tell a few people about and only when I'm actually going to get something from doing so. They're very personal and not everyone needs to know about them.

1/ I’m very passionate about #books. Every opportunity I get I try to buy some more books for my #antilibrary. However, over the last year, I have changed how I read books. I’d like to share the short story and process in the following thread:
2/ Story: I felt like I was stagnating. I read a lot but I didn’t think I read well. I’d forget almost all of what I read besides a few key points in a fairly short period of time. Being in fields that require consistent learning, I felt I needed to change my approach.
3/ I also researched retainment of learning and found the Ebbinghaus Curve otherwise known as the Forgetting Curve: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forgettin…

Nobody knows his face. Hidden by a mask, Alpha Jeon Jeongguk was a mystery unsolved. His identity might be concealed but his aura of intense supremacy wasn't. People envied him and mostly feared him, except for one myth that hides his own identity and race.
Will yall support me if i do this?
First things first. Hi, Hello, Welcome xD

I will apologise in advance for errors that may appear in this thread. I will start the story as soon as i come back home from uni. So, buckle up & get ready for another adventure. See you all in a while, scream at me if you'd like (CC).

45 Days Of @ElvisCostello: a twitter megathread in anticipation of the Oct 12 release date of LOOK NOW, the new LP by Elvis Costello & The Imposters

This is either a bright idea or a brilliant mistake, but this is only, this is only, this is only the beginning...
I did something similar to this 5 years ago, in anticipation of EC & @theroots' Wise Up Ghost LP, on tumblr.

(You can still find all those posts if you look, although a lot of the YouTube links etc are now dead ends. It was 40 Days Of EC then, so for 2018 I'm upping it to 45.)
Mostly I will be going chronologically from the early years right up to the present, but it feels right to start out with Costello's 2002 song, "45."

(1) I am going to ASSERT and then EXPLAIN something I am positive you THINK you understand, but you actually DON'T.

In fact, OUR very THINKING WE UNDERSTAND WHEN WE DON'T is a PRODUCT OF THE ASSERTION.

THE ASSERTION:

The entire Obama presidency was based on deception.
(2) This thread is brought to you by the memory of the memory of the movie Memento, which showed in a very unique way, how the universe allows the long arm of the law to move forward, by our minds moving back in time.

IF YOU CAN'T SPY ON THE FUTURE, SPY ON THE PAST
(3) The assertion of TOTAL DECEIT by Obama, was brought about by a series of expanding realizations, each of which showed that more and more of his presidency was not SIMPLE FAKERY of incompetence, but rather DIABOLICAL FAKERY with greater purpose.

I REPEAT.

DIABOLICAL.
