@mangablog2 Any idea on what Kaito’s mace nen ability is that he used on Pitou?

[Desert Delirium @DeliriumDesert]

@SerpentarianSon @ColonelFalcon This is exactly why Sony wants to get rid of physical disks. Little do they know that millions of us will simply refuse to buy anything else from them, & they will lose even more money than they would if they just kept physical disks!

You can cure brain rot very quickly if you take these actions:

1. Use an app blocker to block social media or any addictive apps all hours of the day and only allow yourself access for 15 minute intervals.

2. Never use social media or addictive apps first thing in the morning or right before bed

3. Do not use social media or your phone while eating, waiting for something, or doing another task. Learn to be fully present for the task. Learn to enjoy being bored. These in-between moments help your brain recalibrate and process information.

4. Read for minimum 1 hour a day.

5. Find other hobbies and activities that involve you being outside in nature or socializing with others

6. Learn to dislike the feeling of having the attention span of a goldfish, having a limited vocabulary, and being a shallow, distractible person. It is not a good feeling.

Realize that everything you want in life that is valuable and worth living for- purpose, better relationships, creating something meaningful to offer the world, inspiration, creativity- depends on you having an attention span and the ability to focus and protect it at all costs.

> "Why are Free Staters trying to convert others to your way of thinking?"

Actually, we're not. We're the few libertarians who have largely given up on conversion. Conversion is what other libertarians do. We moved to NH because we think conversion is largely impossible. :)

Authoritarians reading libertarians have to excuse us a bit. We have come to view the use of government to steal, initiate violence, and murder as a great evil, the same evil as if regular humans were doing these things.

Nonlibertarians cannot see this. They believe one may steal, initiate violence, and murder if one does it through the state. And because the state does not send its employees to jail for these actions done in its name, nonlibertarians believe it's therefore not a "crime". Libertarians disagree. We believe ethical prohibitions against aggression are universal -- applying to every human, even a state worker.

Almost every one of us had to "convert" from the same indoctrination that you were also raised with. This was a hard transition. For me, it took nine months of intense study, argument, and soul searching. It almost cost me my marriage. And our leftist friends, family, coworkers never looked at me the same way (nor I them).

Because this transition is so hard, it's rare -- so rare, that a few of us subscribe to the Free State Project to create one place on earth where we can practice peaceful "live and let live" in peace. We uprooted our families to NH to escape the statist psychopathy, to live in peaceful respect of each other's self-ownership.

We accept that authoritarians:
a) have not gone through the intense reflection necessary to get to universal ethics, and
b) probably can't endure that transition.

They will continue their childhood myth of government employees as super-humans who have an exemption to the ethics the rest of us accept.

Our free state movement is an acknowledgement of this great difficulty. Unlike the libertarians remaining in the Authoritarian-49 who hope to convert the world, we gave up on the effort for your conversion. Instead, we separated and moved here because we want to live in peace, protected from the vast majority of authoritarians who think it's totally fine to use state violence against us once they realize we disagree with them about how we should live our lives.

I realize our perspective is quite alien to non-libertarians. It was a very difficult transition for me.

We are simply trying to live our lives in peace, away from your acceptance of theft, jail, beatings, and murder.

@eStarland @VideoGameHstry Those reviews mean nothing. They are merely the subjective opinions of someone who is paid to review game. And now of days the establishment reviewers are paid/bribed by game developers and publishers to give fake positive reviews to promote a game.

@hiroya_oku 奥さん、PS2版のGANTZをPS5向けにリマスター版で発売してもらう方法はありますか？もしくは、ゲーム開発者にPS5向けの新作GANTZを作ってもらうように説得してもらえませんか？本当に欲しいんです。

[Desert Delirium @DeliriumDesert]

@VideoGameHstry After 2004 Nintendo went to shit. Sunshine was the last good 3D Mario game, and Super Mario World still is the best Mario game of all time! Same thing happened with Zelda with 2004 being the last year of good classic Zelda. Everything after has been mediocre or bad.

[Desert Delirium @DeliriumDesert]

@LKIncognito @kuroxkura The original designs of him are the best (two on the left). After Greed Island, Togashi started drawing him differently, and now he always has his hair down instead of slicked back.

[Desert Delirium @DeliriumDesert]

@VideoGameHstry Oot/MM, ALTTP, the original Link’s Awakening, Ages/Seasons, Minish cap, and WW.

[Naomi Brockwell priv/acc @naomibrockwell]

This is a Trojan horse that will eliminate privacy on the internet.

Why not make devices just for kids if you want to protect them? Why KYC every single person on the internet?

Because this is about control, not children.

@hiroya_oku Thousands of Gantz fans really want this and we would pay for it.🙏

[Desert Delirium @DeliriumDesert]

@hiroya_oku Oku, is there any way you can talk to the people who made Gantz 0, and convince them to used the same animation style to remake the entire Gantz manga from start to finish? However, with nothing censored, removed, and everything from the manga included?

[Desert Delirium @DeliriumDesert]

@CultureCrave This is what us proponents of physical media have been trying to warn those who purchase digital about. You don’t truly own anything digital, since it can be removed at any given moment like in this situation. If you still can’t see it then you are a fool.

[Health Freedom Defense Fund @theHFDF]

Things seem bleak right now.

“Data centers going up all over.”

“The Forest Service spraying glyphosate in our forests.”

“American families struggling to make ends meet as inflation takes off.”

But a silent revolution is happening under the surface.

Leslie Manookian just delivered a much-needed message of hope to the health freedom movement:

“It’s easy to get really down and to feel demoralized.”

“That’s what those who are seeking to force us into a corner want.”

“When we’re depressed, we disengage, and we don’t resist.”

“We should be using the opportunity to build bridges with our fellow Americans.”

“And linking arms with them in opposition to data centers … in opposition to poisoning of our forests and our public lands.”

“Many more people share our views about freedom and truth and decency than we realize.”

“HFDF and Brownstone Institute did a poll in February which found that 91% of Americans support the right to informed consent.”

“We will win in the end.”

“I’m not saying it’s gonna be tomorrow or in two months.”

“But we are gaining traction.”

“Our numbers are increasing.”

“And we are going to be able to turn this at some point in the not too distant future.”

We’re not going anywhere.

Our fight is only just beginning.

And we hope you’ll fight alongside us.

[Travelling Sign @Travelling_Sign]

It seems that some people are AFRAID of:

- Eating fish because of toxins
- Eating eggs because of PUFAs
- Eating honey because of sugar
- Being outdoors because of geo-engineering
The list goes on..

The truth is, fear will wreck one's health before any of the above does.

I Cannot Continue Doing My Work Without Your Support

I won't waste your precious time with my sob story, but the reality is I have been struggling for the last year after my pay at The Last American Vagabond was cut to less than half due to frivolous copyright lawsuits Ryan Cristian is facing.

I've done everything I can to survive, to continue writing articles on a monthly basis, to continue releasing empowering and educational interviews, to continue releasing my monthly podcast breaking down the truth behind the big stories of the day, and, most importantly, to promote real solutions.

And yet, despite my best efforts - and lots of positive comments from my supporters - I can barely pay my bills. I need to come up with a new plan to survive and continue doing this important work that means more to me than anything in the world.

So, I am not here to ask for your handouts, or for you to support me monthly without getting something in return.

Instead, I am stepping further into faith and trusting that all of the hard work I've put into my journalism for the last 16 years will pay off and that YOU will help me finally take The Conscious Resistance Network completely independent.

I love working for TLAV, and I've enjoyed working for all the various indie media outlets I've worked for over the last decade, but my dream has always been to work for myself, and to build TCRN as an indie brand.

So here's my plan:

If I can get your financial support, I will continue writing weekly articles and doing video breakdowns of those articles, but, rather than the articles being hosted on someone else's site, they would be exclusive to TCRN. This would ideally drive more traffic to our website, grow our email list, and bring more people to the wealth of work I've produced since 2013.

The major difference between what I am doing now would be that those who sign up for monthly support on Buy Me a Coffee or Substack at $10 a month will be able to vote on my next investigations.

Additionally, those who support at $10 a month will gain access to an exclusive weekly livestream focused on discussing Exit and Build strategies. I will share my ideas and we will hear successes and challenges from the audience.

What do I need to make this happen?

I need to make at least $1500 USD a month in order to make this happen and take TCRN independent.

Right now, between Substack and Buy Me a Coffee, I am making between $6-700 a month. This amount varies depending on whether people cancel, new members sign up, and how much they sign up.

So, if you're currently supporting me on SS or BMAC, please consider upgrading to $10 a month. If you're not supporting at all, please consider signing up at the $10 a month level.

If you can't afford 10 bucks, please consider $5 a month.

If you can't afford five, please just keep reading/watching and SHARING my work with your networks so I can reach new people.

Why should you consider supporting me for $10 a month?

Unlike lots of other creators and platforms with much bigger reach and financial budget, I don't do clickbait, I don't shovel fearporn down your throat, and I only stick to the facts. This seems to be an increasing rarity these days.

Please consider signing up for support on Substack (https://t.co/oGPhVLGi9y)or Buy Me a Coffee (https://t.co/QphPcPKHif).

You can also support by buying a TCRN shirt (https://t.co/yd1msThAVD) or a book (https://t.co/8lqxMF2tUt).

Thanks for the support. I can't do this without you.

[Laura Matsue @lauramatsue]

It's becoming pretty obvious that social media is contributing to a widespread decline in human decency.

Algorithms now reward outrage and clickbait designed to provoke anger and upset. This incentivizes disordered behaviour, like those who thrive on making others angry just to get attention.

People are burnt out from overstimulation and dopamine overload. It takes more and more emotionally dysregulating content to capture their attention.

Nuance and takes with depth get buried, while the most polarizing posts rise to the top.

The return to human decency is actually quite simple: block the apps and start reading again.

Reading increases empathy, supports emotional regulation, and fosters self-reflection.

It reverses the damage these apps have done to us.

It helps you remember how to be human again.

[Desert Delirium @DeliriumDesert]

@DennisPrattFree Most people in general have no idea. I’d say that most people are profoundly ignorant on how authoritarian the average statist American is. We got a mask off glimpse into the true nature of most people during covid-1984….
