So I've been talking to the mods as well as a handful of members I talk to in real life about the need and plan to draft rules for the community, as well as for specific sections. Likewise, we've also been discussing moderating protocols as a part of that. Anyhow, the community has seen steady growth, which is great. It ebbs and flows, but has been incrementally trending up since we relaunched it about two years ago or so. There's been a few spikes or exponential growth and there's a lot I'm trying to do outside the forum to build up budget to be able to take bigger steps with both the 12ozProphet brand and the forum. That being said, we're also li…

Whatever Elon is considering paying, it's totally worth it just to watch right wing Twitter pretend they're libertarians & for free markets again. Like they weren't tweeting support for the government to disregard individual property rights less than a month ago so the government they hate can micromanage social media policy. Almost as hypocritical as supporting trade wars & taxing/tariffs under Trump, then admitting the Russian sanctions won't work, and only hurt both sides economically. Literally trying to blame Biden for gas prices the moment he was elected after they started a trade war. Pretending to hate inflation now, but not a peep under Trump …

I am for this bill for multiple reasons. A few being the sovereignty of a nation. If this bill were not to pass then there is a good chance imminent domain over reach in the future could be a side effect devastating legal citizens even further more without any due process all in the name of national security. dirty politics in other words. In a hypothetical scenario if another country was buying up massive amounts of land and these lands have natural resources and the seller where offered enough money to sell the mineral rights with the land. Then I can see a lot of potential harm to local economies for example drilling rights tougher to acquire which in…

Under the Bush & Obama presidencies the U.S. gov spent trillions intentionally ending the lives of millions of people around the globe. We consider ourselves an "authority" and not an equal to others, sorta like cops we never find any wrongdoing after investigate ourselves. Torture became a legitimate function of government under Condoleezza, and Hillary helped to sodomize Libya's Leader with a knife. Just doing their jobs keeping Americans safe of course. ssstwitter.com_1669434142067.mp4
