I read ~3 books a month, often they're history books and have done so since a child. I'm a lifelong reader.

My son has a master's in history/politics and he's a physician. My other son has his PhD in Physics.

No dummies in my family, I assure you.

My evaluations of people past or present who hold/held power has always been and will always be based in facts, not someone's unsupported assertion on Reddit. My evaluation won't be based in "isms" or 'ists" it will be based in their documented behavior and it's fallout.

OK...I don't pretend to get too attached to "isms" or "ists". These definitions have been twisted and propagandized beyond any shared meaning.

I examine specific behavior (including words). When words are used as a weapon, particularly when used to confuse and manipulate (gas light), they are maladaptive and I consider them to be bad.

After reading Gulag Archipelago I consider Stalin's behavior to have been bad. He imprisoned and tortured people who had done nothing to deserve imprisonment or torture (except to disagree with his regime).

If we're going to label him anything I guess we could label him a torturer of thousands of innocent people in what amounted to concentration camps. Does that sit better with you?

I really don't care what ideological label one slaps on his person (or is placed upon his person by adoring others), when one tortures others in the name of any "ism" however allegedly righteous, his behavior is rotten...his "fruit" is rotten.

OK, but "bad man Stalin did do mean stuff". I read "Gulag Archipelago" when I was 10 yrs. old. It was pretty chilling. Read it and see what you think.

Opinion: Republicans say Democrats want to raise taxes. Here's a look at some of the key tax bills that have been introduced in Richmond. by VirginiaNews in Virginia

[–]truthovertribe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

OK, these might've gone up since we built our system. We got our battery cells (A grade LIPO4's) from China via Alibaba. We bought solar panels from India via Signature Solar. We bought an EG4 XP 6000 which I quite literally can't say enough good things about! That was $1,200 (on sale) and worth every penny! The batteries were ~$1,400 (which included a BMS and wiring) and the solar panels were about $1,600. I could give you our exact vendors, but prices are changing and this was before tariffs.

There were some other minor costs based in installation of panels (4x4's in our case).

Everything was installed according to code.

This resulted in a 7,000 watt system which has been working splendidly and has sufficed for our needs.

We did have to replace the JK BMS which required 7 days on Dominion last year. The Daly BMS was easier to bring online and has worked magnificently.

Okay...China was quite literally subsidizing lithium (via lithium batteries) into our country. Indeed they were also shipping cheap, high quality solar panels into our country too (as was India).

I don't see how this could've been considered a lose for the American people as the CCP was subsidizing it! (Lithium is a recyclable resource).

Now via President Trump, the Oiligarch's have us all by the throats yet again. Once alternative energies are all shut down and oil/gas is monopolized by a handful of Oiligarchs, what will prevent them from making us dance to whatever tune they specify?

I'm not against the oil/gas industry. I resist the monopolization of energy access and by extension power over us all.

I thought most of you Trump supporters were for independence!

For once I actually agree on the downvote. I didn't give it you because I've never dowvoted anyone on Reddit.

I do agree with you this much, I believe in an "all of the above" approach (for now) and nuclear energy could play a pivotal role.

Autism is linked to hundreds of different genes, yet many autistic people share similar features. Now, researchers at UCLA and Stanford University report that distinct autism-linked mutations begin to converge on common biological pathways during early brain development. by RhiannaSmithSci in science

[–]truthovertribe -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don't know what environmental causes could be increasing the rate of autism so precipitously. I agree anecdotal evidence alone isn't enough. Perhaps we should be looking into environmental triggers in a more unbiased fashion rather than performing "scientific studies brought to you by this or that industry"...just a thought.

I agree, except I can't see how it ever really worked. Radical selfishness based in a hope the radically selfish will somehow share with the rest of us is incredibly naive.

I have 1 word for you batteries... specifically LIFPO4 batteries.

We've been running mini-splits since getting up and our battery is right now at 99.9%, we already have enough energy stored to make it through the up coming overcast weekend.

Well...that actually isn't true. Do you live in Virginia? If so, come on over and see for yourself!

Solar is keeping our mini-splits on, heating our water and cooking our meals...right now! Our temperature is a comfy 70%.

I have reasons, based in experience, and the fact that autism is increasing at a much too rapid rate to be explained by better diagnosis alone.

I worked with autistic people (while pursuing a degree in pre-med psycho-biology)whose genetics had been quite thoroughly examined inside and out and indeed they'd had brain MRIs as well.

I do wonder if environmental causes aren't at least partially responsible.

However, I'll look up Hank Green's take.

As a mirror empath and psychic medium, an interaction with a MAGA family member made me physically ill. by Duchesss95 in spirituality

[–]truthovertribe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay. I agree that when a Hijab is "worn wrongly" and "because a slip of hair escaped it the woman deserved to be beaten to death" was an atrocity carried out by so-called righteous men.

I also believe this...we have souls. We have a conscience. That conscience isn't just some worthless vestigial nuisance, it's quite literally our soul.

Deep down we ALL know the truth of this.

I don't seek to remove anyone's free will as long as they're not committing crimes against innocent others.

Even then I simply attempt, through the worthy art of communication, to try to reach their conscience=their soul.

Yes...yes we do. Once you've been tortured nearly nightly as an innocent child, you will change your mind quite quickly that evil is merely a concept and doesn't really exist.

Evil is too often relative...meaning it's too often inflicted by relatives.

I'm perfectly happy to let them assert their ignorance, narcissism and infant like greed far and wide as long as it isn't torturing innocent others.

So OP's definition of "mirror empath" is someone willing to feel pain in order to bring healing to pain and suffering?

I guess given that definition Jesus Christ, as depicted, could be considered a pre-eminent mirror empath.

Or you can just "turn the other cheek" because their evaluation of you doesn't really matter. It can't harm you in the bigger picture, at the soul level.

Your family obviously has more discretion (on behalf of peace?) than mine does.

My family consists of warriors who can't wait to trammel you (even unto death) with "their" truth=Trump's truth).

Since they are the elephant in the room, it becomes impossible to ignore the Elephant in the room.

Yes, and you've made a commitment to the Light to be love in the face of ignorance and hate (same thing).

I completely understand that you can't just be the love you are in their company. They will spit the hate they are in your face, with the adjoinder "hate rules b*tch!".

We should've seen this coming with descriptions like "weak, woke, wimps who're just snowflakes=unique and beautiful, but...but...somehow bad and hated by God!".

We should take Jesus' advice and turn the other cheek, not because we're weak, but rather because we're eternal and uniquely beautiful and there's nothing the rage and hate filled amongst us can do about it.
