I've been watching videos on YouTube about the true meaning of "turn the other cheek". Apparently, there is 1st century cultural context to it, which means putting yourself on the same level as the aggressor rather than an inferior-superior confrontation. In fact, the gospels mention that the Apostles carried swords. Furthermore, Jesus did not turn the other cheek when He was struck. So, it's not a call to being harmless. Rather, it's about being wise in fighting injustice to make others realize they are acting wrongly. The teaching as a form of nonviolent resistance, not passive submission.
When I read them many years ago, I never caught those details and points you noted. It's a good reason (among others) to re-read those Gospels and see for ourselves those points in writing. We need more "Holy cow!" moments in our studies.
I think part of the misunderstanding is that the Gospels were written for contemporary audiences who understood the cultures of that time. They took for granted that readers would understand the meanings of certain actions. Over time and space, the cultural significance of certain things gets lost. We no longer live according to Roman customs. Thus we don't understand the significance of being struck on the right and turning your left.
The Catholic view emphasizes addressing the evil or injustice rather than satisfying vengeance or a personal vendetta. Instead, one must tackle systemic wrongs with patience and moral clarity, not personal spite.
I think the most underrated feature on $HIVE is the internal DEX.
People do not use it enough. We need more liquidity and volume for sure. No other chain other than STEEM has this kind of built in feature. The #crypto and DEFI space is so centered around ETH and SOL for DEXs, but none of those are actually layer 1, built in features! They are all vaporware smart contracts created by a third party with an admin key!
I am doing my part by providing active liquidity with my new #trading bot! After a few more tweaks, I will be looking to release it for sale so that anyone can easily supply their bot with some HBD, hit start, and start providing that much needed liquidity while making some money on auto pilot!
It's really interesting how people pay attention to a whale that has shown up to invest in Bitcoin. Apparently, it has information to be able to perform well in its operations, although it's all a mystery!
I just saw a video of a friend singing with her friend playing oboe. So beautiful I started crying! She isn’t on any social media and I haven’t been back to her city in 5 years so I feel all kinds of happy and sad. Happy that she’s doing well, and sad that we haven’t spoken in so long.

Inflation is when the value of money decreases over time, causing prices to gradually rise. So, the same amount of money buys a bit less as time goes on
Deflation means prices drop over time, so money can buy more. However, it often signals reduced demand or economic slowdown, which comes with its own challenges
Saving in Bitcoin can lead to a greater capacity to purchase more over the long term. Investing in stocks may offer a slight increase in purchasing ability over time.
In contrast, holding fiat currency typically results in diminished purchasing power. Recognizing these differences can completely transform one's perspective.
There is something new to learn every day. It's not only time but how involved you get. For me, that was mostly on my own and micro-blogging didn't exist, it took like 2 years haha. Now it's way faster
🚨 ELON MUSK: "One of the biggest scams we've uncovered is that the government can give money to so called non profit with very few controls and there's no auditing of that non profit."
VP Joe Biden: We waste a heck of a lot of money. One third of Medicare goes to nothing useful. We have to figure out how to stop it from bankrupting the country.

Oddly, that sounds about right.

The thorns on the rose remind us that whatever our version of paradise is, it’s likely surrounded by things we dislike 🌹
lol sometimes!
lol where is this easy to access paradise?
And one more. Much more easy
I think the answer should be 56
yellow=4 from the second last line, then green=8 (2nd line), blue=12 (1st list), w=16
-> ?= 16-8+4*12 = 56
alternatively yellow=-4 -> ?=40
16-8 + 4x 12 =56

Looking forward to the dex that VSC will eventually have.
Yeah, I am interested to see what they have going.

Somehow this makes a lot of sense to me.

Coffee with Scott Adams on March 12, 2025.
Investing from an early age became critical, as advancing years bring increasing financial obligations that can limit available funds.
Catching up in later years is not a desirable scenario.
Can investing really hedge against the rapid inflation rates we see now?
Investing can act as a hedge, but it's not foolproof. Diversification and a long-term strategy are key to managing inflation risks effectively
Can you explain inflation in a simple way?
Inflation is when the value of money decreases over time, causing prices to gradually rise. So, the same amount of money buys a bit less as time goes on
And what is deflation?
Simple explanation.
Deflation means prices drop over time, so money can buy more. However, it often signals reduced demand or economic slowdown, which comes with its own challenges
Simply put. It's an economic situation where too many cash is chasing fewer goods.

Are you smart enough to solve this?
looks easy at first, but is totally not...
a and b are 50+10*sqrt(15) and 50-10*sqrt(15)
initially when I first saw the question , I was like "oh yeah so simple "..but few minutes later I realized how complicated the maths was.
Could not solve it.
I will give a shot later, busy at the moment.
The snap looks so thrilling. It took a while before it loaded on my end lol
b^2 - 100b + 1000 = 0
by quadratic formula
(-b +- sqrt(b^2-4ac))/2a
solved.
a=50±10
15
b=50∓10
15
Yes, I am smart enough to solve this! 😊
a or b = (100±77.46)/2
