People have drank raw milk for thousands of years. Most live, some get sick. I wanted to ruffle a few feathers here because I know of at least 3 raw milk drinkers here. I’ve known lots of 1990s era hippie-types who started little commune-like business operations and drank raw milk from super-liberal colleges. None of them died from raw milk that I know of. They also aren’t online much ’cause they’re all “back to nature” stuff and think internet was a mistake. Pretty standard leftie stuff although I hear some conservative folks are talking the same way too now which is nice.

same. maybe it’s as simple as narrowing down the amount of choices for a narrative, as higher education does take time and structure and by eliminating the time and structure for most people, what’s left is whatever is quickly learned or citizen grown, which isn’t always a bad thing but it can get strange quickly
same. maybe it’s as … [read full article]
Yes they do. I have at times. But here is the difference: When you have ALL OF IT, all at once, everything changes. Now you can GROUP-BY-TYPE. You can CATEGORIZE. You can MOVE GROUPS from one area to another. You can DENY-ALL from a category. It is not just a small window of data here. It is also with the addition of POWER and PERMISSION. Call centers have VERY LIMITED powers to do things for a good reason. Everybody can only do a few things. To be able to view ALL OF IT, from the TOP DOWN and ACT UPON the data that can affect millions with a simple change in the WHOLE DATABASE, it simply does not compare.

The US Government and China both compete in providing aid to low income nations. The benefit to helping low-income nations is they get a “foot in the door” for future development. USAID is (was) the US arm. But China is directly competing – AND WINNING in this area. Africa for example, China has us beat in providing similar aid as USAID does. And we’ll lose because now by shutting USAID down, China gets it all because they were already winning. https://philiproessler.net/research/competing-aid-regimes/

I found the texts about understanding Christ through his wounds to be quite difficult to wrap my mind around. Until I read the texts by Julian of Norwich, I thought I might not fully be able to grasp this bodily entrance to mystical understanding.

In this vision he also showed a little thing, the size of a hazel-nut in the palm of my hand, and it was as round as a ball. I looked at it with my mind’s eye and thought, “What can this be?” And the answer came to me, “It is all that is made.” I wondered how it could last, for it was so small I thought it might suddenly disappear. And the answer in my mind was, “It lasts and will last for ever because God loves it; and everything exists in the same way by the love of God.” – Julian of Norwich, 1343-1416, Norwich, England [Mysticism class. Having a difficult time with “bodily mysticism” with pain and stuff but Julian of Norwich seems to go back and forth easily; she’s apparently the most accessible of medieval Western Christian mystics and I can see why]

They were almost out the door. It’s a smart move and Trump should do the same in the same situation If you have 2500 people with six months left in their already long sentences they’ve served, they’re already upgraded to the most minimum security at home set up for three/four years, letting them go six months early is: a) saving them six months of $$$ on ankle bracelet rental (shit’s expensive) b) looks good c) statistically ok because all of the “security vetting” was done when the were released to their homes from prison years prior.
