Everyone gets lumped with debt continuously by Government or banks to deliberately keep people working. ( My own #quote )

#Debt #Banks #Work
= Slow #Suicide for #Rich #Elite #Government #Controllers

Leaders I respect in the first place taking it on the role (not just from empty ego or pure-blaggers) but really reasoned leaders and being a bit daring too is part calculated effort and involvement of almost everyone genuine.

So in comparison I take on a leader role in this post (virtually) and in my head as that is what is needed to start, and you as a follower can confirm and add to that weight (by commenting ideally or adding bell notification to get posts more immediately in respect to some level of importance and compounding that - rather than compounding nobody).

By all means be leader but if not stepping up - you need to allow someone else for a bit, so almost why not me for a bit without answering purely with negatives - see the positives ! Ask and you shall get -

**** having time for people and being tested is the main winner I feel *****

I'm sure any critique doesn't defeat me entirely, NOT because I'm the best but because I have time and happy to listen and let others lead for a bit in conversation... as dangerous as that is, and responding also! (IMAGINE!)
All these others on Fediverse have one-way bots and Twitter echos - PLEASE... I've won already... !

So we need to let others train to lead.. so this is part of that... train me.

I can also have several leaders with me (in case one is sick!) like you or someone else you can appraise or treat as an apprenticeship scheme (like that past apprenticeships of "working on the job" together). That way we don't fall into the trap of expecting 1 person to lead everything but really a whole fleet of leaders build up and accumulate CLEVER NO?

Even if you would call me leader now, (which I'm not trapping you by asking you to say it aloud) still you would imagine others or yourself in a pyramid of leader or learning to consult like formation of planes in the air ✈️ while they scout and discuss stuff)... yes all very metaphorical unless we try it.

So let me say I WANT TO LEAD!
And let you lead too while keeping my logical side of moderation in that... and happy to say of my lacking... since amazingly I know I'm imperfect but really together we can crack it.

And I will accept being wingman, and as the wingman (any gender) this has sometimes the clarity (and not) to mix with another leader's clarity to contrast or purify testing the right move (or both ways), again together!
(we're not against each other but together and with our sharpness in whatever way testing it all out, and you give us feedback).

Why did I write this?

So... you tell me :) (you give feedback / make meaning to it all)

Click favourite or type a bit of a reply if you would *maybe* consider me as a leader or wingman and see what about it :)

I feel like the older / past leaders had this "belief in the one, and the many" thing which has largely been lost and needs a bit of **testing** even virtually at first to then say "fuck what a great person this is" or "this could actually work" eventually ...
...seemingly from nothing...
else consider test done...

#FreeSchool <--- check hashtag or contact what is interesting to you as a start...

because I've probably asked to follow you and you forgot to accept!

People who forget to respond to follow requests is the reason for this post.

Recent example randomly below but it's getting to 10's of people (will see if there is any answer)... !!!

Google scrapes all public posts on Fediverse.

Yes I was shocked to hear that until someone said and showed me (I'm encouraging you to search or dox yourself by searching).

All users... from Mastodon's developers... Admin's of instances... User's everywhere... have responsibility... and if truly the 'alternative' they will not let commercialism take over and simply harvest here *unchallenged / unsaid*.

So maybe this will help Mastodon not be scraped onto Search by choosing "Followers only" to filter who it goes to (for some posts, or you decide which types of posts at whatever status...)

===================
🔽 EXTRA ABOUT #MASTODON /
+ #FEDIVERSE COMMERCIALISATION
===================

Mastodon's developer @Gargron told me (years back) that it's not for him to "tell" or even recommend people not to use Google / Youtube links... (we have #indvidious for example which be honest is much better now then when I asked him)... but any who not ACTIVE IN BEING AGAINST / WON'T PUT A SIGN on their instances etc so not working against this and even helping if it's so clear they are scraping commercially from non-commercial Fediverse, Mastodon, Lemmy, Friendica, etc...

So then we should anyway do something ourselves in posting more consciously and bio description to say "no"...

"NO CONSENT TO COMMERCIAL SCRAPING" or choose whatever words as cover your back more CLEARLY / legally / etc.

Overall it would help if everyone did it or made it clear which side they are against on the:

software level
instance level....
user level...

Good work is achieved by drinking non-stop or having something on had whenever you feel...

If water is considered good but a bit too neutral in taste for you, then consider flavouring but not necessarily over-riding the water always, a varied amount also takes any solid food to make it a lot cheaper / easier for body to absorb:

===================
Flavoured water examples:
===================

= Infusion which is a posh word for let it sit in water and flavour it

= Soups = leave anything in water and cook

= Diluting existing liquids (milk, juice etc)

You can try liquefy foods also by juicer or blender and then adding water... but unless you're ready it's often better to keep solids for when you really need sometimes and stick to what natural you can get and find around watered-down of everything (leaves, mint, elderflower, add a bit of sugar, milk if you like, whatever and then reduce it's intensity after starting this liquid style)

#water #liquid #drinking when you feel for #mind and #body

Notifications window I have open the whole day so post now and I'll see it the whole day....

If I follow you - post something good or post a short marker-post for your future ideas or plans and I'll follow you / provide feedback better this week... or if you need something just "ask the world" and I'll have a think...

Money is a debt-creation container.

Money contains what the managers are re-loaning and siphoning from like parasites.

The more you pour in, the more debt and %'s are added to the overall equation.

This is the Bank's game and give overall power and justice to them because it's what we base our life on (debt / unfairness / their power to create money- not ours).

#Money and %'s added undermines every single transaction inside a massive debt-creation bubble !

Another way is needed more than trying to empty debt from a boat inside a sea of #debt ... 🌊 ⛵ 🌊

#Bank's and #Government get overall power and #justice from you this way... YOU LENDING THEM what they reuse / re-circulate in a bad way...

I see all these as quite similar types of stimulant 💉

Even if it's less of a stimulant, they all give adrenalin kicks / ups and downs in the head / temporary highs and encourage feeding addiction if not mentally balanced.

If unbalanced (which is normal for humans I consider) then people tend to stuff themselves and use it like a drug.

When worried, nervous, have too much work... it doesn't really help original problem and can just delay AND even compound problems (the original stress, lack of sleep, nervousness, lack of ways of in a trapped system + more feelings on top).

For me I see chocolate and coffee still like wartimes as something rare and luxury;

█sparingly given,
█almost never bought
█bad for teeth and digestion consumed daily, otherwise like CocaCola a bit of Cocaine / Crack style enjoyment only if really a rare thing.

Doesn't help now you can buy things too readily and from everywhere - kind of takes away it's special ability unless you actively defend from friends and other pushing it. I let things sit for ages until it's really time.

Kind of too pure for me and consider it deliberately well supplied crack/crap for mice on the treadmill.

Has a lot of damage embedded too. From source (coffee coming from Brazilian railway lines 🚆 built solely to be extract and supply to The West, for example.... sugar imported for watered-down chocolate, just a few squares is enough like sugar cubes)

Those that give kids whole bars are crazy! What do you think / do realted to these things?

Crack Cocaine Fast Facts

Quotes elsewhere online (which I see similar to chocolate / coffee)

"Crack cocaine [chocolate or coffee] is a highly addictive and powerful stimulant that is derived from powdered cocaine using a simple conversion process. Crack emerged as a drug of abuse in the mid-1980s. It is abused because it produces an immediate high and because it is easy and inexpensive to produce--rendering it readily available and affordable.

Insects and Bugs are simply wondrous

And beautiful when they are chilling on your finger. Perhaps even communicating something to you!

Could be an old grandma who's found you again! 😂 🐜 🐞 😂

Invest in people. Daily.

Else you invest in Elon, Gates, Zucker, etc. So #InvestInPeople / including me !

Magic People!... We're like magic!...

Bugs and People make the world go round (yes mostly for Humans but also gardening the planet help propagate things...)

Like bugs are part of the planet, people are also part of the planet.

If bugs are "imperfect" then maybe like People this only if you look at them this way - we could look at them more positively and WORK WITH THEM with their positives...

If Russian Sanctions against the Moscow Exchange are any news, it's real #war when Exchanges stop talking to another... financially! As they want to catch all the fish before that and don't mind agreeing even during war - but there are limits it seems.

Just saw this post which is nothing major https://qoto.org/@TheOldGuy/112626772915125552 but says the US mostly shut things down / terminate agreements / imposing sanctions in this time of war - which is ironic as they were warring not long before and shaking hands)

All banks and countries as gangsters and banksters !

Basically financial exchanges are main pipelines to tax it all and control everything through it.

This includes shutting it down, taking it over, regulating it by imposing sanctions in times of war (domestic or foreign crisis or self-made / spontaneous crashes) and stepping up authority to achieve that (since all business is a branch of A Government instance)

1. 📔 "Notable incidents" section is a good read ( famous people who tried it ) 👀

2. I've personally done the "cross road without braking" (blind left and right, down hill, no breaks- admittedly in non-busy area but bus goes that route for example)

3. 🔫 Revolver spun only once at the start... probabilities I hope I understood correctly below from Wikipedia...

"Given a six-shot revolver... the single-pull loss probabilities" for each of the six players in order:

Player1 16.7 %
Player2 20 %
Player3 25 %
Player4 33.3 %
Player5 50 % (1 or 2 pulls left)
Player6 100 % (you get the bullet 100% because the 5 before didn't catch it)

However, in the re-spinning variant, all players only come into the game if and when each of the players before them has caught an empty chamber...

...the all-game loss (non-dead) is approx 16.7%

#Jobs of the #Government is to stress, extract and impact upon people's lives for it's own agenda and benefits...

It's their #war on other people... the same templates is implemented everywhere...

*Everything* funnels back into #war

Everyone needs a war to fight...

Something to participate in, contribute to and live for... BUT

BUT war could also be more of a tough battle of logic, empathy etc - just something more than physical attrition and monetary power. more towards mental health and therapy while still "doing something about everything".

Try another operating system without risk!

Run Linux using 1 USB memory drive!

Forget CD / DVD 💿 unless really old like 20 years - USB is more accessible and reliable... speed difference is minor...

Test without any hard drive - Optionally install after testing along side your Windows (or just reset back into your existing operating system).

Just 1 USB drive setup correctly allows you to test drive almost any Linux system like Ubuntu or Mint simply by downloading the ISO for it.

=============================
How to try Linux? (an alternative to Windows)
=============================

Main steps

1- Download YUMI - a Multiboot USB Creator (currently 2.0.9.4)

http://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/

2- Use YUMI to format USB drive

3- Download Linux Ubuntu or Linux Mint ISO (2 or 3gb file)
- Version 18 Ubuntu seems best / robust for example

4- Use YUMI to add the downloaded Linux ISO to USB
(YUMI allows as many to be added by copying tovia it's menu to USB)

5- Re-Boot + start system from USB drive. Your available Linux version will show in list - run any listed.

6- You're now in and testing the new operating system - That's it!

No install, but shortcut icon from the desktop allows you to optionally install if you want it and have it on a hard drive installed.

==================
NOTES ABOUT INSTALLING
==================
ISO's are 1 file containers with the operating system (for Ubuntu or Mint in this case) AND these already include a strong disk manager and fixer called GParted (GNOME Partition Editor) so you don't have to download anything separate if you decide to install to an existing disk, you can manage it here in one go.

GNOME Partition Editor can be seen here also as a separate download:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/gparted/ - but again it's included in the ISO so it is very handy to re-organise disks AND install.

Even if you don't want to use Linux you can have a USB with disk tools and even other repair ISO (almost anything) on 1 portable USB toolset.

Side by side with #Windows
#YUMI + #LinuxMint has #Gparted etc
