https://ibb.co/Qfg2WS7 <--this is "waingros" under a post of mine. After DMing me to "stop bullying him" - Forgot to log back into his proper account. I've never had any interaction with "waingros" before. And I'm pretty certain the account didn't exist 5 minutes prior.
Mod logs ought to paint a very interesting picture.

https://ibb.co/z7cpPY5 <-- That comment now? "account deactivated by owner"...

https://ibb.co/W0xst50 <-- "sToP buLlYinG uS"

WankGro is creating fake accounts, pretend interacting with himself, upvoting his own pretend interactions then deleting everything when he realises it's incriminating evidence.

https://ibb.co/XyCTRcg <-- always accuse others of that which YOU are guilty of.

@Elvis

Not WainGro, but the hastily created alt "waingros"

This is a mod acting like this.

This niggerkikefaggot knows no shame.

"It's not enough for such governments to lie to you, but they have to force people to repeat the lie themselves, and the more grotesque the lie, the better. To make you repeat it, that way in your humiliation, you become its sissy sub.
 
They extubate through that, the spirit of defiance and self rule, and they make you party to their network of falsehoods."
 
What a wordsmith.

With jews you lose

You can read and figure out the current status of "St. Joseph's Day", I'm following vaguely whatever I can reason is pre-1958: https://infogalactic.com/info/St_Joseph%27s_Day
 
But I was mostly going to share this "Workman's Prayer to St. Joseph" for workers to pray:
 
(Note: The first version is based on the link below but I am editing it from another source that I have; given there are multiple versions online, both are probably just a translation of the latin and it doesn't matter, but I liked this other translation better. I can't find a link with this other version I have - let me know if anyone finds it if they look it up.)
 
other version I'm familiar with:
 
> O Glorious Saint Joseph, model of all those who are devoted to labor, obtain for me the grace to work in a spirit of penance for the expiation of my many sins; to work conscientiously, putting the call of duty above my inclinations; to work with gratitude and joy, considering it an honor to employ and develop by means of labor the gifts received from God; to work with order, peace, moderation, and patience, without ever recoiling before weariness or difficulties; to work, above all, with purity of intention and detachment from self, having always death before my eyes and the account that I must render of time lost, talents wasted, good omitted, and vain complacency in success, so fatal to the work of God. All for Jesus, all through Mary, all after thy example, O Patriarch, Joseph. Such shall be my watchword in life and in death. Amen.
 
version that's online that I could find:
 
> O Glorious Saint Joseph, model of all those who are devoted to labor, obtain for me the grace to work in a spirit of penance for the expiation of my many sins; to work conscientiously, putting the call of duty above my natural inclinations; to work with thankfulness and joy, considering it an honor to employ and develop by means of labor the gifts received from God; to work with order, peace, moderation, and patience, never shrinking from weariness and trials; to work above all with purity of intention and detachment from self, keeping unceasingly before my eyes death and the account that I must give of time lost, talents unused, good omitted, and vain complacency in success, so fatal to the work of God.
 
> All for Jesus, all through Mary, all after thy example, O Patriarch, Saint Joseph. Such shall be my watch-word in life and in death. Amen.

Thought this was an interesting applied business idea
 
They want to expand to have entire ad-supported stores with other necessary items
 
(Rather than single-use water bottles, a future reusable water bottle would be a nice idea)

I bind to myself today
The strong virtue of the Invocation of the Trinity:
I believe the Trinity in the Unity
The Creator of the Universe.
 
I bind to myself today
The virtue of the Incarnation of Christ with His Baptism,
The virtue of His crucifixion with His burial,
The virtue of His Resurrection with His Ascension,
The virtue of His coming on the Judgement Day.
 
I bind to myself today
The virtue of the love of seraphim,
In the obedience of angels,
In the hope of resurrection unto reward,
In prayers of Patriarchs,
In predictions of Prophets,
In preaching of Apostles,
In faith of Confessors,
In purity of holy Virgins,
In deeds of righteous men.
 
I bind to myself today
The power of Heaven,
The light of the sun,
The brightness of the moon,
The splendour of fire,
The flashing of lightning,
The swiftness of wind,
The depth of sea,
The stability of earth,
The compactness of rocks.
 
I bind to myself today
God's Power to guide me,
God's Might to uphold me,
God's Wisdom to teach me,
God's Eye to watch over me,
God's Ear to hear me,
God's Word to give me speech,
God's Hand to guide me,
God's Way to lie before me,
God's Shield to shelter me,
God's Host to secure me,
Against the snares of demons,
Against the seductions of vices,
Against the lusts of nature,
Against everyone who meditates injury to me,
Whether far or near,
Whether few or with many.
 
I invoke today all these virtues
Against every hostile merciless power
Which may assail my body and my soul,
Against the incantations of false prophets,
Against the black laws of heathenism,
Against the false laws of heresy,
Against the deceits of idolatry,
Against the spells of women, and smiths, and druids,
Against every knowledge that binds the soul of man.
 
Christ, protect me today
Against every poison, against burning,
Against drowning, against death-wound,
That I may receive abundant reward.
 
Christ with me, Christ before me,
Christ behind me, Christ within me,
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ at my right, Christ at my left,
Christ in the fort,
Christ in the chariot seat,
Christ in the poop [deck],
Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks to me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.
 
I bind to myself today
The strong virtue of an invocation of the Trinity,
I believe the Trinity in the Unity
The Creator of the Universe.

There's that buyitforlife subreddit, I was wondering if anyone has any good general recommendations of items they've purchased that seem to last a long time, or for life, or for multiple lifetimes.
 
Example: for cars, I've seen some people suggest Hondas or Toyotas
 
Got any suggestions or reviews to share?

So in an effort to think up more sustainable footwear, I stumbled upon a concept of a sandal that goes over shoes. This was being marketed towards "sneakerheads" I think, or people with nice shoes. My use case thought with this design would be, you put on the "sandal" to walk some distance (maybe you need to walk a mile each way to an event) and then you take them off for light walking arount at a destination. This would allow the "sandal sole" to be worn out faster than the shoe itself.
 
I've looked in to the idea of "resoling shoes" but this looks complicated. So I was wondering instead if you could just have a sole that attaches as a sandal (sandal sole) that could be disposed of or reused when it gets used up. Or you could design shoes this way where the sole attaches like a clip in sandal so they're easily replaceable.
 
Redundant concept? Not useful? Got an alternative idea?


A federated decentralized discussion board with reddit like functionality. Censorship resistant by design.

The maker of wolfballs even said he would personally help anyone set up their own instance for free that can federate with his.

Perhaps the arête network might consider running on a federated codebase such as Lemmy or lotide and work together to insure their users aren't censored

I realize everyone here might be in different countries, but I was wondering for those in the U.S. what the "American Dream" is to them, or those not in the U.S. of what some kind of equivalent dream is for those of your country.

How this works: An organization tries to contact a citizen to pick up a certain money, and they don't within a certain time period, so since it's legally not their money they hand it over to "unclaimed property" departments in each state (could be a paycheck, stock dividends, money left over in an account, etc.)
 
How to possibly find monies or how I did it: find your state website on
https://unclaimed.org/search/
 
My state allows free searches, I thought I heard some people say they had to pay or something?
 
Look up people by last name (can be your last name, can look up friends and family and tell them, etc.)
 
If you find someone you know, let them know
 
I don't know how they file, I guess just follow instructions on site
 
then I assume they'll mail you a check?
 
My name did not come up but a few family members did, another acquaintance's daughter had a whole unclaimed paycheck, other people found some monies they didn't know about
 
could be an excuse to talk to random people you may know of as well, who doesn't like reclaiming "free money" that's theirs?
 
Good luck and let us know if you find anything
