Sizable inactive accounts that wake up after years of dormancy draw investor attention because of the potential market impact if those coins are sold.

It would make me very happy if they liquidated and destroyed the market overnight.

Wtf are you talking about? There were USA reporters in bomb shelters and Israelis making "oh, we're so persecuted because we're Jewish," tiktok videos as Iran bombed the shit out of Israel.

They didn't turn the other cheek. Propaganda has you.

Price is fringe, but when you consider that orthodoxy erased mountains of dissenting texts, it's only fringe because all other ideas were erased for more than a thousand years.

Marcion, for example, had followers for at least three centuries. And the only examples we have of his writing is in quotes from church fathers arguing against him. There was a purge of unorthodox ideas, but his version of spirituality could have won out and then what is currently the norm would have been fringe. Christianity had a stranglehold over Europe and dictated its own history.

It's unclear how Khamenei will navigate the crisis his regime faces but as his credibility collapses

Propaganda. How is his credibility collapsing?

Repurposing most of a comment from earlier in the day where someone asked about learning about the Jesus Myth theory that Jesus was originally a heavinly figure and only got turned into a guy with an earthly ministry decades later. This is well supported by the evidence in texts from the start of christianity (epistles, Dead Sea Scrolls).

The Jesus Puzzle, by Earl Doherty. He gets criticized because he’s not a trained scholar, but his work remains compelling and Robert M Price endorses him. I really enjoyed this one.

The Amazing Colossal Apostle - The Search for the Historical Paul, by Robert M Price. He’s a former Baptist minister with multiple degrees in the field, a true expert. He has a bunch of published YouTube interviews talking about these topics as well.

Quick warning: RMP is a Trump supporter. That makes sense. Ministers are rightwing. Coming from believing to realizing that the Bible is a collection of stories rather than history doesn’t necessarily change your politics. He mostly never mentions it, but it’s come out a couple of times in videos. Luckily, he doesn’t say anything further about it. The book is phenominal.

And, if you still want to consider Jeses to be a historical figure, I loved this controversial piece: The Passover Plot, by Hugh J. Schonfield. This book assumes that Jesus was a real apocalyptic Jew who truly believed that he was the messiah and who brilliantly engineered the conditions to fulfill prophecy. It’s a great read. If Jesus was a historical figure, this is the version of him that I think is most likely.

I am currently reading Marcion and the Dating of the Synoptic Gospels, by Markus Vinzent. I’m enjoying it a lot. Marcion was the first “heretic” for his view that Paul was the only apostle who understood the true message: that the creator god of the Jews was a lesser god, which is why there is evil in the world, and Jesus's god would adopt us.

I'd be in Aukland now if I hadn't met my partner between deciding in 2021 and the election. She is a refugee and can't leave or she'll lose status. She is a political enemy of her government for advocating for democracy there. Did a phone interview and everything.

Mayor should write back, "Thanks for the letter." And then continue according to plan.

Cool, more power to you.

Keyboard shortcuts for everything. Mousing to a menu is a waste of time in any app you use daily.

My Synology is compatible with an expansion unit and can support two of them. Check if yours can do the same for the storage aspect.

If you get a NAS with 10G (it’s such a nice upgrade, I made the jump last year), there’s no reason a nice NUC can’t do the job. I went that route after previously running significantly overpowered server hardware ten years ago. We have an embarrassment of riches with modern hardware.

A+

Meet me out back after school. We're gonna have words.

It would be a great service to this nation if a plane had crashed into that spot.

People who behave this way are dangerous to society. It's a signal that they think they know better than everyone else and are confidently correct in doing whatever the hell they consider the right thing without considering the effects on others. These are sociopaths.

The trial had a moronic jury. That's definitely comporable.

The only time I've served on a jury, there were two morons. I suspect most jurys have carefully selected morons.

It’ll bite your face off.

I’m ashamed of my state today.

U.S. President Donald Trump, who has not managed to broker a promised ceasefire between Moscow and Kyiv, has long viewed China as the United States' main adversary and is predominantly focused on relations between the two nations.

Heys the only one that can negotiate a peace. On day one!
