I know #Twitter #Warning, but c'mon... This kid is very cute about delivering her sharp #Satire about #YouTUBE Contributors who are on the hamster-cash-wheel. This youthful performer is at #Vidcon2019 and is going by @PugLoca on tweeter.

Oh #Snap! Yes they did! The hegemony of #Microshaft and #Google are about to get their wings clipped. The drug dealer method of addicting people to software is going to come to an end (somewhere).

YANSS 157 – The psychology behind why people don’t speak out against, and even defend, norms they secretly despise
This is an amazing #Podcast about how and why we get stuck in #GroupThink. Theirs a new buzz going around about #FreeSpeech but from the point of view of, "you're #Censoring me!" This podcast is focused on the, "why am I censoring me?" We are doing it because we don't realize that a majority of us think contrary to the incorrect conventional wisdom of the day, but we fear speaking out because we don't have evidence to support our silent dissenting thoughts are in the majority view, especially not within whatever our current social group is. People who might agree with you in private can't risk defiance of the group's thinking in public, so they will not be an ally. This makes us in aggregate doomed to stick with terrible ideas till enough catastrophy happens to the established leaders and the spell gets broken.

A Tower That Reaches The Heavens
If you appreciate cheeky things to say to annoy your #Priest, #Nun, #Sunday #School #Teacher, #Deacon, #Rabbi, #Preacher, maybe even #Imam, etc., then this story is for you.
Spoiler Alert
Click to open/closeIt hinges on the premise of the #Tower of #Babylon. If #God got his panties in a bunch over a 300-foot tall building, why not stop us from skyscrapers, space travel, Google Translate?

The show is a more playful romp than, "can God make a rock so big even he can't pick it up?"

John Kelly: Godfather and Profiteer of the Kids in Camps - SOME MORE NEWS
Cody on his Showdy is coining a new phrase, #KidcentrationCamps instead of #ConcentrationCamps. #America has fallen, or if you listen to his video, we've been doing this forever. #Profiting on the suffering of others as a way of life.

What's stopping euthanasia laws?
So as to not get prejudged, I don't advocate #Suicide as a solution to a hard life, I advocate society to support its struggling members to live a meaningful happy life. Sometimes I can understand why a person checks-out though. When people are medically circling the drain, I can certainly advocate for a person deciding to end the suffering. I'm nuanced on the topic. However...

Theirs a lot of #Religious vs. #Secular arguments around #Euthanasia, but I'd like to offer an #Economic perspective. I have a natural distrust when something is clearly an intractable argument, that instances of the predicament have to be judged on a one at a time basis, but it gets #Religious people trying to front run it as if they have the answers. In the workings of my mind, these righteously indignant "do-gooders" are giving cover to #Nefarious people in power who want the same result as the religious #Zealots do but for an entirely unethical and often horrific reason.

If people are allowed to decide when they don't want to play the miserable existence game anymore, they are a type of slave to the social industrial complex which wants live bodies for economic gain. If your will to live forces you to work for food, they win and you have no power. If you can't work, they will make you live and bill your next of kin for the extension of your life that you don't want.

It always puzzles me why more people of #Faith aren't in a hurry to die; It's supposed to be wonderful after you die compared to this—at times or in places— Hell-Hole. So the church—to keep people from checking out of the serfdom life—made a decree that #Suicide sends you to #Hell. It must have been suicidal to go to war back then with the death count, but nooooooo, those early deaths were Martyrs for Jesus, so off to #Heaven for you lot.

So to me, politicians want disenfranchised people stuck in shit jobs to line the golden chalices of the wealthy people who bribe them, and the churches give politicians cover to fool the masses into going along with it. Listen to this latest #Podcast by #Austrailias #TheSignal on the topic and ask yourself if you think the real reason politicians are agreeing with the church (which molests children) because of sound moral thinking from religious texts, or nefarious economic reasons.

How To Maybe Criticize Israel? - SOME MORE NEWS
Great breakdown of the #Israel #Palestine crisis. It's violently incorrect to call a person anti #Jew for merely being anti #Israeli #Government. That government is #Genocidal towards the #Palestinian people. I'm an #Atheist and I care about both #Jewish and #Muslim citizens in that whole region. I despise both the governing bodies in the area and have self-hate for my own government for funding this slow genocide of Palestinians. I do hate the Israeli government more because they are the instigating force that causes the reactionary groups like #Hamas to come about.

The cool kids are saying Emolumental now...
Since it is a #Criminal act in the #USA for the #POTUS to benefit personally through the holding of the office of #President because of the #EmolumentsClause,
“No Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them [the United States], shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, #Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”,
and the #Trump crime family has sarcastically and monumentally broken this law, his time in office is being called #Emolumental on social media. In this particular case, we see the monetary reasons for #War in #Iran and the driving forces behind the #FalseFlag operations (like the damaged―not sunken―oil tankers), trying to drum up popular support for such a fraught #Military endeavor. It will be #America's newest #Vietnam.

Fantasy Football
So I'm wondering if their's a built-in aversion in #Federated social networking against #FantasySports, more specifically #FantasyFootball which is a right bunch of fun. It seems that people attracted to #ActivityPub are also the type who would like it.

Another Guatemalan migrant child dies in US custody

“The immigration agency lacks protocols for tending to migrant populations, and especially for populations presenting some type of illness,” said Jorge Andrade of the independent nonprofit Institute for Democracy and Safety, which monitors the detention of migrants in Mexico.

The United States is seriously fucked up.

Third migrant child dies in US custody

He was detained on April 19 by agents at the southern border, Guatemala’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said. One day later, he was sent to a government-contracted youth shelter in Brownsville, Texas, to begin a process of family reunification, according to the ministry.

The following morning, employees noticed that the teen was sick with “fever, chills and a headache,” Stauffer said. They took him to a nearby hospital where he received treatment. He then returned to the shelter.

Describing the boy’s medical condition, the Guatemalan Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the boy had “a severe infection in the frontal lobe that showed no improvement, even after a surgical intervention to stabilize the pressure inside the head area.”

@Keebo What are you doing here? This is the worst forum for you to try advertising on, so their's that. Also, their's not much chance of your content getting seen. Also, if people do see it, they're not going to buy it.
Michael Rupp
It seems like a ghost town. Why are you here?


Also, this makes me wonder if you are new to Federated type social networks. Am I wrong?
Michael Rupp
I'm not sure you get the Federation type social networks. Besides you, I'm pretty sure I'm the only person on Earth that saw any of your posts here.

Do you have any evidence that somebody besides you or I have seen them?

So it was only in my lifetime that #Evangelicals became #ProLife. Before Jerry Falwell (the disgraced preacher) they were #ProChoice.
