Anyone who wants to make easy money, invest in cryptocurrency. Just think about the decisions you're making, how they effect your life and how they effect the way you perceive the world around you. Easy money . . . what a sales pitch.
"Being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, covenant breakers . . ."
". . . How then could man continue to exist while living in perpetual disobedience to the laws of his existence?"
"'Darkness commenced to cover the earth, and gross darkness the people.' So that each succeeding generation came into being under increasingly perverted and corrupt influences, until they degenerated into a state of the most profound spiritual ignorance . . .
. . . even denying the existence of the spirits of evil that led and governed them daily; as they also denied the spirits of good by which alone they could have been saved from the destruction that awaited them."
"The flood, like the cholera, was an effect of violated laws."

@WalkerBragman I keep returning to the differences between Measles and COVID, and the biggest difference I can see besides their symptoms is the type of virus. Otherwise, they're both single strand RNA viruses, the most transmissible of all viruses.
@WalkerBragman Both Influenza and COVID are coronaviruses, we've yet to reach herd immunity with Influenza and COVID is about 13 times more infectious than COVID. Am I missing something? The headlines in Brazil read "COLAPSO!"
@WalkerBragman Is there a metric for adaptability or evolutionary capacity that's not being measured?
@AdamSerwer@waltshaub@AshaRangappa_@JamesSurowiecki Numerous [mostly] people of color have been housed in human captivity for sometimes up to 30 years for possessing relatively small quantities of marijuana. It's an obvious form of oppression.
@ishaantharoor I can't read it, but if this is about people who value their children's lives over what some consider "an education," and who oppose the opening of schools because a novel virus threatens our communities despite vaccination, I have a few thoughts.
@ishaantharoor Most importantly, I'm reminded that EDUCATION IS A LIFE-LONG PROCESS. It's not purchased or arranged. It's cultivated.
@ishaantharoor What Americans call "school" is actually a form of daycare since the dollar has been in a state of constant inflation since 1913, and concurrently, our way of life has declined just as precipitously.
"Demons haunted his nights, angels guided his days, slept at dawn, woke at dusk . . . Silence taught him lessons, he learned to meditate, one night he met a djinn / Little Mumble Bunny read books voraciously . . .
Hungry for acceptance outside of his family, his complicit parents / Understanding nothing of children or childhood, except trauma and pain . . . Sinister family rules into strict discipline, privilege for the first born . . .
@morningmoneyben Hubris, not "optimism." There's a difference, in my estimation . . .
@morningmoneyben It's the same type of virus as influenza, which we've lived with for millenia. How do you think humans fared when we first encountered it? The only reason it's not as deadly as COVID is because humans evolved over several millenia.
@morningmoneyben Influenza requires regular "boosters" to keep up with influenza's evolution, and we know COVID is 14 times more infectious, and appears to be growing more infectious, which means it will evolve even faster.
I'm fairly certain I spoke frontier gibberish in a past life.
Hedley Lamarr breaks the fourth wall. The only other character, perhaps, that does this in "Blazing Saddles" is Bart. Antagonist and protagonist. Immediately following Lamarr's breach, protagonist and antagonist are featured soon thereafter. Hedley introduces Bart to his new role
The antagonist unwittingly arranges for his own demise. Strikingly poetic for a comedy, @MelBrooks.
