in my lifetime 9/11 was the worst thing that i can recall.
the effect it had was incredibly horrible!
almost everyone seemed to know someone that was either directly or indirectly affected by this diabolical act.
The Capitol riot isn’t even on the same page as 9/11. Few attacks besides acts of war can compare with 9/11.

A comparison to 9/11 is insulting. It's, frankly, mentally retarded. A discussion along those lines, therfore, fits quite well on mainstream media outlets.
im not here to start a debate.. ive heard the above expression countless time over the past year and a half and genuinely want to know what it means.. if you feel this way, do you mean :.
a. there is no covid19 virus?.
b. covid19 is real but not a threat of any kind?.
The reason I ask is because i was watching the news about Sydney, Australia, which is in the middle of a nasty surge of the delta strain, and a guy they interviewed on the street was adamant the pandemic wasn't real.Statements like "it's not real" or "it's the flu" are often imprecise ways of conveying a thought about risk. The man you saw, if you assume he was quoted in the proper context, was likely trying to say that the seriousness of the virus has been overblown, that the risk is low, and therfore lockdowns are an overreaction.
lloyd has a reminder set for a "leaked" video that he will be reviewing tomorrow, but it lacks details in the description.
does anyone know what video he is referring to, or is this an upcoming loyd evans exclusive?.
i find leaks exciting, especially if it's something that was never meant to be public and puts some serious egg on the faces of the blundering body..
It'll do more damage to Lloyd if it turns out to be a Rachael-Maddow-level nothing burger.
when i was younger we had song books and i recall that some of the songs were pretty catchy.
then they revised it took some of those songs out, and added more.
i have to admit some songs were pretty good.
It was always the best when the sound guy mixed up the track. The congregation would try oh so hard to sing the lyrics to the incorrect tune... confused as to why it wouldn't work... And then about 2 min in, someone would realize it, the song would stop and we would get a new track, the correct one, and everyone would try again.
suppose we were naïve observers, given the following data, and asked to draw a conclusion.
we see people gather at a busy bus stop several times a day.
at first one person, then another, and another, until they form a group.
Watched the video. Lots of word salad there. At first I thought he was just making an argument for consciousness being an emergent property. But then, it quickly veered into everything being thought/mind. After that, the tems used are just so general and undefined, I'm sure each viewer is taking a completely different meaning from his speech.
so the occupation of afghanistan is coming to an end and, as predicted, they achieved absolutely nothing in that 20 years apart from:.
the death of 2,300+ service personnel and tens of thousands more seriously maimed or injured.. handing $billions or even $trillions of taxpayer dollars to defence contractors (so the military industrial complex wins, even if the military doesn't have a clear victory).. has this lengthy but short-term military occupation really changed anything in the country?
it doesn't appear so.. i said at the time that the us wouldn't have the staying power to enact real change.
I am more anti-war now than ever before.
i hate anyone bothering me going door to door and house to house.
maybe it’s my jw background?
i dunno..
imagine the "faithful" jws who are now having to talk to this person by court order or face the consequences----legally.. exjws are spreading the news and now some exjws who have been disfellowshipped for years are starting to research to see if this is an option in their country.
here are the articles, you need to translate in google.

I could be wrong, but there is precedent for secular courts getting involved if the religion didn't follow its own internal procedures. If this is another version of that, it seems like an empty victory.
Why won't she be disfellowshipped next week for something else (like suing the WT)? They wl make sure they follow internal procedure this time.
suppose we were naïve observers, given the following data, and asked to draw a conclusion.
we see people gather at a busy bus stop several times a day.
at first one person, then another, and another, until they form a group.
So the aliens form a falsifiable hypothesis that the groups of congregating people cause the busses to arrive. Then they test the hypothesis and soon find out it fails when busses stop even when no people are there.
In this case the hypothesis is that consciousness causes brain activity, rather than brain activity causing consciousness.
Is it falsifiable?
If I choke you and restrict blood flow to your brain, you lose consciencousness. What does that imply about the hypothesis?
