Gedanken zur Tageslosung für Dienstag, den 12.05.2026
Losungswort
Der HERR wendet sich zum Gebet der Verlassenen und verschmäht ihr Gebet nicht.
Psalm 102,18
Lehrtext
Des Gerechten Gebet vermag viel, wenn es ernstlich ist.
Jakobus 5,16
Die Losungen der Herrnhuter Brüdergemeine
Beten lohnt sich
Die heutigen Bibelverse handeln vom Gebet, genauer gesagt von Bitten, die Menschen an Gott richten. Dazu lesen wir im Losungswort, dass Gott sich besonders den „Verlassenen“ zuwendet – also solchen, um die sich sonst kein anderer kümmert. Allerdings geht der
Psalmist davon aus, dass man Gott um Hilfe bittet. Allein die Tatsache, dass jemand verlassen ist, bewirkt noch nichts. Es geht auch darum, sich in seiner Situation an Gott zu wenden.
3. Mose 15,16-16,4
Körperliche Unreinheit durch Ausfluss beim Mann • Körperliche Unreinheit durch Ausfluss bei der Frau • Der große Versöhnungstag • Der Hohepriester bereitet den Versöhnungstag vortwr360.org/programs/view/…
„Durch die Bibel“ ist ein weltweites Bibelprogramm in über 100 Sprachen und Dialekten. Unsere Mission ist einfach und sie ist dieselbe, die Dr. McGee für sich selbst annahm: Das ganze Wort Gottes der ganzen Welt zu verkündigen.
There is a predatory pattern so creepy it shows you how completely detached and inhuman some people can be.
The narcissist finds someone with something real and authentic and that authenticity triggers something in them.
They’re drawn to it because they want it for themselves and they resent it at the same time because they know they’ll never have it naturally. So they decide to take it.
They target them, study them, mimic them, diminish, devalue and smear campaign them,
and try to pass a counterfeit off as the original.
Cont.
And then, before the person they’re mimicking can say a word, the smear campaign begins.
This is where most people misread what’s happening.
They assume the smear is retaliation because thats how the psycho portrays it.
It isn’t.
It’s preemptive narrative control.
The narcissist needs the audience to see the original as unstable, obsessed, abusive, dangerous or bitter before the original has a chance to speak. That way when the truth surfaces, it’s made to look like jealousy.
The mimicry and the smear campaign are not two separate moves. They are one operation.
Most people could never do this because human beings are wired with an internal sense of dignity that makes certain behaviors feel impossible to carry out. The shame of witnessing yourself do something like this would be sickening. But the narcissist feels no such shame.
Why? How? How do they live with themselves knowing what they’re doing?
@JTAlexander @varrock If the voters choose not to vote, that’s their call.
Seriously, if media reporting on the latest outrage named the judge and mentioned when the judge is on the ballot, citizens could channel their righteous anger into the peaceful voting booth.
Teza: rynek jest jedyną instytucją społeczną wynikającą z absolutnie minimalnych założeń o jednostce i świecie. Poniżej formalna demonstracja. (1/19)
A1: rzadkość - w każdym rzeczywistym świecie środki są skończone wobec konkurujących celów. Przedjęzykowa, przedinstytucjonalna, konieczna jako cecha świata. (2/19)
A2: optymalizacja - jednostki działają, wybierając spośród alternatyw w warunkach ograniczeń. To absolutne minimum - głębiej nic społecznego nie istnieje. (3/19)
@CocyxSkeleton @deerlyloved_ i define consensus here as “the final, universally agreed map of how the mind works”; i wouldn’t go against that, but the dsm5 isn’t that and doesn’t claim to be. it’s a set of guidelines
@CocyxSkeleton @deerlyloved_ being limited to the character length of one tweet drastically reduces my ability to get my points across correctly
@GirlyScouts Here is literally 1700 studies that support this claim. You're welcome to debunk them based on the data or the methodology, but, obviously, not your feelings as that would be unscientific.
You may begin when ready. domesticviolenceresearch.org
@GirlyScouts "This annotated bibliography describes 343 scholarly investigations … demonstrating women are as physically aggressive as men (or more) in their relationships with their spouses or opposite-sex partners. The aggregate sample size in the reviewed studies exceeds 440,850 people."
@GirlyScouts "Almost 24% of all relationships had some violence, and half (49.7%) of those were reciprocally violent. In nonreciprocally violent relationships, women were the perpetrators in more than 70% of the cases."
1/n: I could be wrong, of course, but my take about this hantavirus outbreak is less about the actual outbreak and more about what it means in the context of the last two decades and moving forward. Let me explain...
2/n: As I said on BBC this evening, we might see additional cases, but I don't think this will be a major epidemic beyond the obvious human tragedy of those who lost their lives, and possibly a few others who could still get very sick.
3/n: New World hantavirus infections are rough stuff, once symptoms begin, the resulting cytokine storm and ARDS means there's not much of a window before getting them into an ICU, and often on ECMO, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, which requires a high level of skill.
Skipping over the detail, here is the summary of my effort, which to my mind is close enough to Mr. Legg's numbers.
Notes:
- $20k lithium
- averaging ~50% utilization of plants
- per share metrics using current share count
- he's doing some rounding down in his EBITDA multiples
The first Select site will have 20% excess capacity, so putting another 50% throttle on that is excessive.
What happens if we go with 1,000 tonnes/y (out of 1,200 nameplate)?
Day 1, week 2 of the 57th 9/11 pretrial hearings at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba began at 0900.
Commissions were called to order around 0900. Khalid Shaikh Mohammad is the only defendant in court today. Ammar al Baluchi is reportedly dealing with health issues and is thus absent.
Judge Schrama informed the court he is considering cancelling the June/July sessions to work on suppression and discovery rulings. 27 discovery issues are in the pipeline -- he doesn't think he can make it through all this summer but it could be a focus, open to recommendations.
"Brains don't fully mature until age 25!" is pseudoscience weaponized by feminists to justify bad behavior. It has been refuted by mainstream academics, libtard mainstream media, and it even has a Wikipedia refutation.
The concept of a "fully mature" brain is also pseudoscience. This is a complex topic so I will attempt to simplify... Brain "maturation" = neural pathways becoming stabilized, large reduction in passive neuroplasticity (automatic rewiring), pruning of weak/unused pathways, etc.
Different brain regions "mature" at different ages, with some individual variability, e.g.:
Brainstem/hindbrain = infancy
Sensory & motor cortex = childhood
Limbic system = adolescence
Prefrontal cortex = early to mid 20s
Social cognition network = early 30s
Hippocampus = never.
I just finished reading PJM’s seventy-page market design white paper (so now you don’t have to!)
(Thread)
Last week the grid operator released a report examining potential reforms to its long-standing capacity market.
The paper acknowledges that soaring electricity prices have eroded public trust in its existing framework. It points to 3 factors that have exacerbated conditions: skyrocketing load growth, accelerated retirement of legacy generation, and slow permitting processes.
Valium was the number one selling drug in the world for 15 consecutive years.
The ads showed pale, worried mothers. Women described as having "female nerves." A single woman at 35 described as "psychoneurotic" because she wasn't married.
Here's how it happened.
🧵 1/5
These weren't consumer ads. They were ads in medical journals. To doctors.
Doctors had been trained to view female emotional discomfort as a chemical problem requiring a chemical fix.
The marketing explicitly framed medicated women as more manageable. More tranquil. Better wives, better mothers.
2/5
The result: 70% of all benzodiazepine prescriptions went to women. 68% of all anti-anxiety medications. 80% of amphetamines.
The marketing targeted them by design.
By 1970, 20% of adult American women were regularly taking a benzo.
3/5
China fields a military where 70-80% of soldiers are only children. Every battlefield death risks extinguishing a family line. This demographic reality shapes Xi's strategic calculus in ways Western analysis should pay more attention to. My new piece explores this. 1/5 🧵mickryan.substack.com/p/one-child-on…
2/ China's one-child policy ended in 2015. Its military consequences are only beginning. By 2015, ~70% of PLA soldiers and 80% of combat troops came from one-child households. There is almost no historical precedent for a major military force comprised almost entirely of only children.
3/ The research is sobering. Only children are measurably less trusting, less resilient, less risk-tolerant, and less competitive than those with siblings. These are not ideal traits for combat. They are increasingly the defining traits of the PLA's human capital.
Kardashianism’ represents the ‘goldchainification’ of female beauty standards under globalised lusotropicalism. Kardashians a more attainable form for average women than more traditional Eurocentric models and matches kinds of aesthetic preferences ‘Global Latina Belt’ has anyway
Aesthetic emerges from the ‘Gold Chain’ Races Zone which is roughly coterminous with the ‘Global Latina Belt’. Incidentally, map of ‘Gold Chain’ Races is almost a 1-to-1 overlap with the map of the Achaemenids under Darius, though it extends further west today into Latin America
I think "fun socks" should be used judiciously, as a lot of what's worn today feels more childish than whimsical. IMO, most men should avoid them entirely.
But if you insist on wearing them, here are some suggestions on how to make them look less bad. 🧵
Any time this topic comes up, people invariably bring up George HW Bush, who was known to wear fun socks later in life. While I wasn't a fan of those socks, I agree that Bush was well-dressed. I also think when you reach a certain age, you have license to wear whatever you want
There are a few reasons why most outfits look bad with these sorts of socks. First, most men are not at that senior age where these socks become charming.
Second, most of these socks look like something you acquire by sending in a proof-of-purchase from a cereal box.
