IF your unconscious-mind is playing that kind of game, AND you give-in to it, THEN it gets stronger, in its subjugation of your life to its bullying.

Give it NO ground, & don’t budge on that.

All your life, if required.

The people who give-in to their unconscious-ignorance’s ordering them to murder people, because they felt if they just-gave-in, then the unconscious-mind’s bullying would relent … don’t get the result they were making-believing-in:

bullying which gains compliance, grows and that should be obvious.

that is true of all unconscious-ignorance’s bullying, small or great.

Give it no ground, & set about consolidating your control/ownership/possession of YOUR life, against that kind of thing.

Strangled with a cord.

the photo of his corpse shows the marks on his neck from that cord.

The cloth he “supposedly” was strangled-with wouldn’t have put those marks on his neck.

There’s a yt mortician who identified this stuff.

& the fact that suicides tend to have 0 or 1 vertebra broken, but Epstein had 3 broken…

& the security-video which wasn’t supposed to have any record of the guy in orange who went into that area, but did ( somebody whose job was to prevent evidence … fucked up )

& the authorities make baldfaced “that isn’t significant” … when it fucking obviously was significant … decisions…

& on & on & on…

There’s a former mafia man, Michael Firenzese, who’s got multiple Epstein videos, & 1 of those has on its thumbnail a marionette style image, so large dark hand above, & … 2, iirc, marionettes, with Epstein being 1 of 'em…

That video identifies enough evidence that now I understand why he was able to get away with the absurd degree of impunity he had…

CIA, Mossad, AND KGB seem to have been working with him.

When the FBI wanted him put away, they were ordered to back off, being informed he was an intelligence asset…

So, then the question of who was using who? comes up…

He was using the intelligence-agencies to gain power/influence, he was getting kompromat/blackmail on everybody, he was sharing that, for a price of some kind, with multiple agencies, selectively, they were using him, NOBODY is being made accountable for raping girls, he apparently murdered multiple girls, some buried “out back” he said, & he bought 330t of sulfuric-acid … probably for eradicating other inconvenient evidence, & Maxwell ( or somebody whose perspective is identical to hers ) murdered a girl to prove herself to her “husband” … there reaches a point where there’s no point in pretending that this is in any way, whatsoever sane.

1 guy who was talking about having met him said the hair on the back of his neck was standing on end, & he knew this guy was evil.

I’d believed that I’d had that kind of sense ( have evidence of having got that kind of judgement right, in the past ), but … whatever darkness-sense I’ve got didn’t work with Epstein, in that video Bannon made of him…

The repeated asking by Bannon “do you believe you are the devil” or something like that … & his careful non-response … he may have so believed, tbh…

Anyways, more info than you asked, but the whole thing has evidence scattered everywhere, & the key items need to be consolidated, properly, so people can see & understand, for real…

Years ago, there was the Iran-Contra affair… a guy who dug into that told me the more he knew, the less he could figure-out who the “good guys” were supposed to be…

This is the same, only more so.

For gaming, Ubuntu’s got the strongest support.

Why do I know that?

Because I tried running Steam on … perhaps openSUSE or Void, & was told by Steam that they only support Ubuntu.

Since then I’ve read that they support others, but it was only a few years ago where they told me they only backed that one.

Linux Torvalds has spoken on how you simply can’t make an app that will work on all distros: it isn’t possible.

Gentoo would except for that kind of compatibility probably be your highest-performance OS, since you can intentionally include ALL of the CPU-optimizations which test to work best for you.

At this point I’m suspecting that he’s demon-infected.

Yes, I know that all of materialism/atheism is adamant that spirit isn’t real, & nor are individual-spirits, human-spirits included,

but anybody who’s encountered enough corroborating-evidence to know that Dr. M. Scott Peck’s “People of the Lie” has too much fact in it … will likely understand.

&, of course, after the tippingpoint is crossed, & the masks come off … then more people likely will understand.

& that should happen soon ( saying this in Apr 2026, for any future readers )

Twist the question:

Do you really care if your partner lives-in instagram “reality” or in what you experience as reality?!

Appearance-based “league” costs: it costs attention, focus, dedication, & resources.

Some care about experience-induced-value, others about appearance-based-value, & it shows.

Had a friend tell me once they lost a friend to modeling: it ate her brain.

Now all she could discuss were makeup & hair.

Was Einstein at the bottom, or the top, of “league”, once he’d become a philosopher?

See?

One’s values is the basis of “league”.

Buy 2 good books ( different authors ) on becoming a private investigator.

Hit Nolo press, & buy their book on legal-research.

Then they are IDIOTS at understanding crypto.

Bitcoin is the ecologically-costliest/electricity-costliest/machine-costliest cryptocoin to standardize on: it’s nearly used-up.

They’d have been much saner to have standardized on some other crypto.

I’d prefer that Algorand-type ones were standard, but they can be attacked by country-level attackers.

For anybody who wants outside-the-hype-bubble view of what crypto is, & how its ecology works, PLEASE read https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/attack-of-the-50-foot-blockchain-bitcoin-blockchain-ethereum-smart-contracts

The reason that Steampowered stopped taking crypto, is plain, in that book.

_ /\ _

( PS: I’d enforce that there be an Algorand-type crypto for recording accounting-records with, country-wide, so that books couldn’t be “cooked” between closout-of-the-books & reporting. & I’d want to make daily closeout normal, if possible. Cisco did that, years ago, so it is possible, but some will scream against such economic-integrity measures, of course… )

Remember that infinite-greed is part of the equation, though…

IF revenue MUST increase, no matter what the cost-to-the-world, THEN … the example of covid supermarket-profits-skyrocketing, while people couldn’t afford food, comes to mind…

That is part of the problem with concentration-of-wealth-archy paradigm & moneyarchy paradigm: they’ve both got infinities in their goals, that is infinite-concentration-of-wealth, & that breaks civilization’s viability.

The 2 equation-classes are incompatible.

Public-benefit-companies are where we ought be, but … there isn’t even that category of incorporation in Canada, ttbomk…

We, globally, have NOT been solving the right problems…

Internet-itself, & social-discussion-forum ought be considered required-civil-infrastructure, removing it from narcissistic-depravity’s control, … but nobody’s got the spine to understand that countries are automatically highjacked, otherwise, by the platforms that the country’s social-nervous-system is.

_ /\ _

I’m NOT for just-becoming-the-ruling-gang.

There are plenty of civil leverages which the left … perhaps won’t … exercise, when it reaches the point of mass-butchery ( like hiring private-investigators to GET the evidence of criminality of the worst in-authority-role scum, & prosecute them, because the establishment won’t, then hiring good criminal-circuit lawyers to secure their convictions ).

There’s a tippingpoint … I think it’s 1/20 of the population, when that percentage of the population is protesting, then the mainstream begin adapting-to, & adopting, the protesting-position’s views.

The fundamental cause of people behaving the way they do, is that they, themselves, are ruled-by-peer-pressure, & they therefore presume that applying-peer-pressure cannot be disobeyed.

The left’s assertions reek of this…

The left’s institutional “authorities” also reek of this “this institute asserts that such-and-such-a-country MUST obey this assertion” kind of thing…

Delusional, & narcissism, both.

Action’s required, but it ought be effective, strategic, civilrights and civilaccountability centered action not just mobarchy, or your-gang-replaced-with-our-gang political “revolutions”, which never EVER produce the civil benefits the raw-potential would enable.

Solving the wrong problem is Traditional, iow.

& nobody’s ruthlessly-strategic-enough-in-altruism to solve the right problem, … so, therefore nothing’ll change, it looks like …

They use different sets-of-software, & different software-package-management-apps.

Which means that not-only am I wanting what they ( all of them ) consider non-standard, their system-maintaining apps are different ( RasPi vs Ubuntu ), & I’m betting nothing on their behaviors being identical.

Being incapable of installing build-essential in Lubuntu 25.10 on x86_64 is utterly braindead: that’s one of the most-fundamental packages in the entire Ubuntu ecology.

Somebody’s not doing things right, obviously…

Possible…

hadn’t considered that…

but then-again, human history does tend to repeat the same “events”, just in variations…

Roman Empire & US Empire both being the great monster with steel teeth, & deteriorating substance going down, until clay feet…

Trump as a replay of that … similar but I think the fundamental current is different-enough that Trump’ll be remembered, if humankind survives this-century, rather more strongly…

Herdbeasts are sentient: they are “others”.

They don’t want to be slaughtered: we care more about using meat from their bodies for a momentary meal than we care about their lives-themselves.

That is OUR values.

TTBOMK, vegetable-tanning isn’t done as much because it costs more.

& the original person’s comment about chromium-salts looks spot-on, & was ignored by your counter.

Chromium-based tanning is only 1 kind of tanning, but yeah, chromium’s one of those chemicals which needs to be limited more-carefully, among our ecologies.

Vegetable-based tanning also exists, & I’m no expert, so there could be multiple way I don’t know about.
