When it comes to questions like do you believe in God? or wad Christ born of a virgin? he grants himself leeway and rejects the rigid non binary of yes/no.

He rejects the literalist interpretations of these questions and many other in the religious realm and treats as an evolving multilayered reality.

When it comes to gender identity expressed through fluidity he he quite literal. Despite both being subjective. While biological sex is a reality, gender expression, much like sexuality, is fluid. He grants people and seems to accept homosexuality and bisexuality without argument.

He grants himself the post modern freedom to analyze religion in his terms of abstract metaphors but won't grant others the same freedom when it comes to gender expression and identity also being abstract.

The objective biology and subjective value division between religion and gender identity falls apart under examination. As both sit at the crossroads of biology, culture, and psychology. If he can turn a literal diety into an abatract evolving metaphor, why can't gender expression and identity be granted thr same leeway?

​Whenever someone says a tech CEO or contractor couldn't possibly have "god-mode" access to a global surveillance grid because of privacy laws or "firewalls they're completely ignoring how the U.S. intelligence apparatus actually operates.

​Edward Snowden was a private contractor at Booz Allen Hamilton. He had privileges that let him access raw intelligence feeds, including OPTIC NERVE (which harvested webcam footage). Private contractors make up around 30% to 40% of the entire U.S. intelligence workforce. They build, run, and maintain the infrastructure. and these are just the grunts. Imagine someone truly powerful having this access.

​If the government decides it needs a specific tech executive or contractor to oversee a unified real-time data fusion grid it's perfectly legal

The Executive Branch can legally classify a program, its data sources, and who gets access to it. A cleared CEO brought in as a primary contractor sits directly inside the intelligence loop.

​Terms of service for tech companies and user privacy rules don't mean anything when national security take over. If the government wants a real time surveillance engine, the legal pathways and access controls to do it have been in place for decades.

We have the hardware and dats... edge sensors like cellphones, smart watches, flock and corporate cameras, data centers and data from multiple streams: social media, financial data, cell phone data, AdSense data for behavior profiles, email data, medical records... pretty much anything you can think of.

a CEO would be a part what's called a special access program and would be legally allowed to view this data without leaving a trace.

Trump could literally grant it to his billionaire tech bros for national security reasons and create real time model that is constantly updating on everyone in the world almost.

Military special operations, it's already known, create real time models of entire behavioral neighborhoods and towns when it comes to planning an offensive of a target. the capability exists. they can predict your next move, how often a suject will go to the bathroom based on how much they drink, predict their next Google search or when they will walk their dog next.

This is unprecidented power. Now they can't flick a switch and get someone elected or start a revolution (they would do so I cuba and Iran).

I am curious how far do you think their power extends? what can they and cant they do?

In a hopefully nonexistant future fascist system where they don't have to hide what they are doing what type of hell hole could they create? imagine local police having these capabilities in future fascist america.

vote accordingly.

What will happen if Vance refuses to certify the election for president next time?

What if in the next presidential election Vance refuses to certify the elections because of "fraud and abuse"?

Like what happens next?

Super creepy. Dude tried kidnapping two different groups of boys.

So I am diagnosed schizoaffective. It's like schizophrenia with manic and depressed episodes.

I developed it at 29 years old just before my 30th birthday when exactly when COVID started. I smoked DMT while I was coming off opioids to try to overcome my addiction. I ended up going full looby for three years after that.

Eventually I got in trouble with the law at 33 and 1/2 and began taking medication and quickly lost all my delusions and gained sanity.

I lost my job in the time and became unemployable. I have applied to disability and been denied twice so far.

I really want to try working but I am so dependent on my Medicaid. I use it for my mental health meds, my methadone, my regular doctor, and my urologist for testosterone.

I want to try to work but it will mess up my disability and if I end up making too much I'll lose my Medicaid which is worth thousands every month.

What do I do? I feel like my life is over. I wish I wasn't so dependent on my health insurance so I could just get a good job not worry about health stuff. Anyjob I get would have to come with health insurance that pays for so much stuff I need.

This is why we need Medicare for all. Health insurance should not be attached to your ability to work or a specific job.

The system, the way it's set up, incentivises me to stwy poor and on Medicaid. Even if I get disability it's only $947 a month.

What do I do? Anyone have any advice? It's really stressing me out and I just wanted to vent.

Have a great day everyone!

Hey guys, I recently started Wellbutrin and testosterone replacement therapy and I feel pretty good. I have a lot more energy to do things and I feel way less unmotivated.

I don't know which one is doing the major lifting or probably both together but just thought I would share.

It's really helped my negative symptoms quite a lot!

I recommend!

Have any of you successfully reduced your antipsychotic medication to the lowest effective dosage?

Which antipsychotic were you taking, and at what dosage?

I was previously on 80 mg of Geodon, then I reduced to 60 mg, and now I am at 40 mg and remain stable. I am hoping to further reduce to 20 mg, or even 20 mg every other day, as the side effects are quite challenging. I am particularly struggling with anhedonia, a lack of motivation, and weight gain.

What has been your experience? Has anyone found success with a low dose of Geodon??

Have any of you guys titrated down to the lowest effective dose of an antipsychotic?

What antipsychotic and white dose?

I was on 80 mg of geodon then I got down to 60 and now I'm down to 40 and am still stable. I want to get down to 20 or even 20 every other day because the side effects suck. I'm tired of having anhedonia and no motivation and also tired of weight gain.

What has worked for you? Anyone on a low dose of geodon?

I have been trying to get my testosterone preauthorized for two weeks. This is such a pain in the ass.

The doctors office sent it but it was showing up blank for some reason. Software issue or something. Then when I tried leaving a message at my doctor's office no one would call me back. Eventually I just went in and they called the next day and did it over the phone.

Now it seems they left the dose and directions out so it got denied.

I am getting pissed off. Half of it is no one's fault but God damn this is frustrating. The pharmacy sold me the test cash but says they don't want to do it again. They will have to because I am running out.

Anyone else ever have a hard time with pre auth? My last doctor's office had this down pat. They were on it. This doctors office drags their feet.

My ear buds started making a clicking sound in one ear and I was able to send them back and get a new pair sent to me all within 5 days.

Great warranty! I am very pleased.
