Yes! Because you can remove your deposits from the bank and they also have to pay you interest on that balance. Your mortgage is an asset to the bank for the opposite reasons.
Alpha beta unlimited revised Arabian nights 4th edition ice age mirage etc etc. I'm sure that's all wrong but I used to know it by heart. I keep my cards in old motherboard boxes !
This happens to me almost every night before falling asleep. I like to think I'm actually just composing what I'm hearing in my head! It almost always takes on a genre like bluegrass or orchestral or electronic. Very cool I enjoy self-made illusions!
Hypnagogic hallucinations are common. They're most intense for me when I'm falling asleep in a very quiet room. You don't need a source of noise for this.
This put the fear of God in me when I was a child. Sleep paralysis, which often joins it, feels quite frightening to a kid who doesn't know what's going on.
"healthy" in that "you won't die" -- not necessarily "healthy" as in "ideal for maintaining peak health". That's probably a bad comparison... But I'm not sure that you can count out the importance of the intestinal microbiome. It's not just vitamins or metals--one can be deficient in beneficial bacteria as well. These bacteria are why we can "throw anything" at our intestines. That's true until the good bacteria have nothing left to sustain them and die off.
It seems like you're angrily describing an ideal that you would be ecstatic to achieve, but have no confidence you could ever reach. Just the fact that you _know_ what is hypocrisy (e.g. imported avocados) is a move in the right direction. Without a sense of the ideal, how could you be pragmatic? I think there will always be a vanguard of humanity that is willing to push towards the ideal -- that drags the rest of us pragmatists kicking and screaming into the future.
"Political winds change" like a US backed coup in 2009 that put the guy in power who made these laws? What international institution protects against that? Are countries bound by law if it was made by an illegitimate government?
The only US involvement in ousting Zelaya was the State Department asking neighboring countries not to intervene. The Supreme Court of Honduras issued the arrest warrant for him on their own. It was an entirely internal affair until after they tossed him onto a plane. And on top of that, the guy was trying to illegally change the constitution.
It stretches credulity that the US wasn't involved in some way. The state department had an opinion on what outcome they wanted [0] and it'd be out of character if they didn't put their thumb on the scale as much as was necessary to get the outcome they wanted.
We don't really need public acknowledgement to assume that the US is involved in American politics. If there is a coup in their back garden, they'll have someone there doing some pruning.
Yes, I've read the wikipedia article too. I was also studying Latin America in college at the time and can read Spanish so I was pretty closely following the issue.
Having an opinion on the outcome you want doesn't mean you're actively putting a thumb on the scale or driving events. The State Department has a position on almost ever major political event happening in the world. It can't possibly be intervening in all of them.
> If there is a coup in their back garden, they'll have someone there doing some pruning.
Except the US specifically stayed out of this and encouraged Honduras's neighbors not to get involved either. If the US had chosen to support Zelaya, then the people backing the Supreme Court would have called that a US intervention.
Is your standard that having an opinion on a foreign political outcome is tantamount to intervention? If not what is your standard and how does it apply here?
shillbots gonna shill. this is a blatant one, which means it's low-effort; here to stir the pot. the real agi-prop effort will be a repost bot with a real looking history.
