[atheist-republic-world]

Hi, I've questions regarding your blog, it looks like you're too aggresive towards atheists. I know some atheists are far left, woke, communist, anarcho, radical, anti theist, degenerative, pro murder etc but how feasible it is to create an aggressive blog against all atheists?

Also what are your views regarding abortion, atheism, atheists, left wing ideologies, human rights (right to life, religion, thought, conscience, speech etc)?

Hi fellow human 😜

You seem a pretty humble guy, sorry if my blog seems aggressive, but be rest assured, it is not directed at you, in fact it is not directed at most Atheists I'll say.

Regarding my views on abortion; well I think a woman should get access to abortion if her pregnancy is forced or if she is facing health problems, otherwise I don't support abortion. Nowadays there are multiple ways to prevent pregnancy & a woman has the full right to not get pregnant. But if someone gets deliberately pregnant & the fetus develops its own heartbeat then it becomes a separate living entity.

About Atheism, well, I think it's pretty dumb position, there's no other way to put it.

Classical Physics has rejected Atheism

Thermodynamics has rejected Atheism

Relativity has rejected Atheism

Quantum Mechanics has rejected Atheism

Mathematics has rejected Atheism

Microbiology has rejected Atheism

Evolution has rejected Atheism

In truth Atheism is an inability, an inability to deeply examine & realise the nature of reality & the nature of existence. Let me give you a very simple example, why does the oxygen always reacts with hydrogen & never with hilium? If all of the existence is just randomness then why the reactions of chemistry are so specific & so programmed? This is true for every law of physics, every equation of mathematics & every gene of biology. Willful ignorance is the only tool which is keeping Atheism alive in this 21st century.

As for Atheists, Well, there are humble atheists, there are radical atheists, there are good atheists & there are bad.

Most of today's internet atheists however, lack IQ, I've found most of them to be brain-dead, having no arguments of their own, just repeating some baseless statements of their loony fathers (Hitchens & Dawkins mostly) like a zombie.

Needless to say, I usually find most of them to be unworthy for a debate & consider engaging with them as a waste of time.

Left wing ideologies? I think leftists live in a fool's paradise, they become radical in an effort to establish an utopia which doesn't exist. There's no globalism, all people are culturally different, trying to force mix them leads to disaster. There's no communism, it has already caused disasters. There's no anarchy, we need govts, enough with molotov cocktails. There's no gender fluidity, man is man, woman is woman, if you've a d*ck then you can't interfare in the domain of womankind just because you "think" you're a woman, that's a direct attack on women rights. Just check those dudes in women sports, how they're destroying it.

About human rights? Well, I don't consider right to life to be absolute. Life is precious & should be protected but State may terminate you in certain circumstances (terrorism, treason etc). Did Hitler or Truman deserve right to life? No, I don't think so.

Freedom of religion? Sure, just don't block roads & everyone is cool.

Freedom of thought? Sure, ideas are fundamental for the overall growth of human civilization, thus all humans must have freedom of ideas, I consider ideas to be an absolute human right.

Freedom of speech? Yeah, all citizens should have the freedom to protest against their govts/rulers. That's the basic concept of freedom of speech. However, it can't be used against other communities against their will, their right to reputation prevails over your speech & they hold the right to not entertain your speech if they perceive it as defamatory, insulting or discriminatory toward their lifestyle or culture.

Any other questions? Feel free to ask.

The Identity Crisis Plagues Entrepreneur Communit

In the 1998 film, The Truman Show, Jim Carry played a character who had no clue about who he truly was. He had no clue about that his life was being recorded since first involvement known to mankind of amusement purposes. He rose up out of his character emergency when somebody revealed to him who he genuinely was. This looks like the character emergency that the business visionary framework is encountering today winoutt .

A basic part of the issue is that monetary pros haven't the faintest thought what their character is. An amazing package of them lost their course, getting found business exercises, or they on a very basic level never knew their direction in any case. Reliably when you ask business visionaries what their character is or what they do (i.e by what means may you make a compensation?), they express that they are a proprietor of a business. For instance, they own a pearl retailer or they sell vehicles. In any case, that isn't what they truly do or what truly makes them cash.

The business visionaries who absolutely handle what their character is welcome that they are not just a business visionary. Or of course maybe, when asked, the budgetary expert who comprehends what their character is would react that they secure cash. Sounds direct isn't unnecessarily right? Nonetheless, different individuals who express that they are business visionaries, aren't generally business visionaries; they are business visionaries or business heads. The critical reason behind the fund director is to gain cash. Legitimately, how that cash is caused will to vary, yet a business visionary is an individual who makes money...not truly, yet their activities accomplish a positive deluge of money.

A business visionary with this attitude has two characters. These characters are what set up them to be the "cash creators".

The first and overall immense of the two characters is that paying little brain to whatever else, a business visionary is a marketing expert. You may make and sell gadgets, associations, or data assets yet in the event that you don't have clients, customers, or patients then you are dead in the water. You will have a tremendous measure of remarkable things and associations in any case nobody to offer them to. I comprehend this is hard for some business visionaries since they disdain selling. They consider the trade vehicle salesman that sold them their first lemon and shudder with stun. Nonetheless, reality, considering everything, is that as you become a business visionary, you secure how you are moreover, or ought to also be, an advertiser, a help, and an agent. The significance, considering everything, is that you are a business visionary, so the considerations that you have with respect to advertisers, you don't need to follow. You should follow achievable propelling systems in any case you don't ought to be that specialist that sold you your first clunker. Publicizing ought to be wonderful. It ought to be a declaration of what your character is. On the off chance that it isn't, by then you will dependably battle with it.

"Notwithstanding, Ralph, I just couldn't think about selling. I have an inclination that I am persuading my thing or association on foreseen customers." So this passes on me to my next character. The business visionary who has a slanted viewpoint toward their duties since they feel that when they market or sell their gadget, they are driving it on their ordinary customers. They are experiencing a tremendous character emergency. They trust themselves to be their responsibilities as a thing rather than a need. Things travel all finished at this point necessities are steady. There is no finer case of this than during a decay. The rule things that frantic individuals cut are the "stunning to-haves". As a monetary master, on the off chance that you perceive your things and besides benefits as a need, at that point your duties won't be the first to be cut during the family spending gathering.

So as to see your responsibilities as a need you need to from the start separate yourself (to yourself and your clients) as an irksome solver.

In spite of the business, century, or zone, the most generously compensated individuals are the ones who manage issues. Consider it. Right when you call a handyman, circuit repairman, business ace, visual coordinator, or publicizing master, you are calling them to deal with an issue. The most generously compensated ones arrangement with issues well and offer a suffering reaction for your present issue. As a business visionary, paying little mind to your business, you ought to be an answer supplier. In the event that you sell precious stones you manage the issue for the existence accomplice who is searching for a thoughtful present for his significant other's birthday. On the off chance that you sell family unit cleaning things, by then you give the game-plan of being more fit and compelling, sparing your customers time (which, in the event that I may join, is of vast worth).

Accordingly, no persuading inspiration to visit your near to authority to direct character emergency scourge. You are a cash administrator. You are an inconvenient solver. You are a marketing expert. Separate yourself with the attributes of an astute monetary authority and you will see an improvement in your business.

Power Rangers RPM Review

Okay, so this is one in a line of Power Rangers reviews I plan on doing. It won't be in any particular order. I watch whichever season I want. A big round of thanks goes to Netflix for having literally every series so far, excluding Ninja Steel, but I think that one's still airing. I know Linkara did his History of Power Rangers series and if you want, you can go ahead and watch that. It's really good, trust me. I just thought I'd give my own two-cents on things. It won't be quite as detailed as Linkara's thing, but it'll be my review, so whatever. It's always worth noting that I might get awkward in places, as I'm no professional. Anyways, we're starting off with my favorite Power Rangers season so far: RPM. Made to be the final Power Rangers series, the show takes place in a post-apocalyptic wasteland of a world. The planet has been ravaged by an evil computer virus known as Venjix, attacking the humans and animals with an army of killer robots. So basically PG Skynet and Terminators. I kid, the show is actually the darkest in the franchise so far, depicting instances of mafia connections, human enslavement, deprivation of one's humanity, and death. After all, this is the apocalypse. Every single place on Earth has been turned into a lifeless shell aside from one city. There would be now way around genociding 95% of all life on Earth with that kind of premise without making yourself like one of those idiot parents who just wants to protect their precious little snowflakes, so I'm already happy. Said city is Corinth, a place protected from Venjix by a domed barrier that keeps him and his attack bots out...for the most part. His special bots are capable of slipping in, but that's where the Power Rangers come in. As with every season of Power Rangers, they fight off his creations to protect the people. The Rangers this time around are some of my favorites, mostly Dilan and Ziggy, the Black and Green Rangers respectively. Especially together. The two have a friendship that you just can't help but love, especially when Ziggy points things out and Dilan more often than not has his back even when the other Rangers think he's an idiot or just writes him off. Not to mention Ziggy is the best thing in this show. He's easily most likely to be fan favorite as he's a wellspring of comedy and light-heartedness in this world of death, pointing out things that just aren't right or things that seem ridiculous, which gets us onto the topic of the humor of this season. Some of the humor is your typical Power Rangers humor, but as this was originally intended to be the final season of the Power Rangers, they threw in a bunch of self-referential humor, poking fun at the tropes present in every season such as the zords and the vocal call-out when they morph. In one episode, when the rangers are saved by these mysterious figures, the idea that they could be ghosts pops up, of which the Yellow Ranger writes off for being ridiculous of which Ziggy replies with, "You drive a giant yellow teddy bear! I drive a giant green fish!" The other Rangers aren't quite my cup of tea like Dilan and Ziggy are, since those two are just the greatest of bros. First, the "original" three. The Red Ranger, Scott, is the son of General Truman, the man in charge of keeping Corinth safe, however the two aren't quite on the best of terms. Their relationship for most of the show seems to be business only, which is explained in Scott's backstory episode, Ranger Red, where it's explained that Scott's older brother, a fighter pilot, died trying to fight off Venjix's forces so that the last remaining living humans can make it inside Corinth. Since then, their relationship has been strained to one of absolute formality between a soldier and his senior officer, causing Scott to want to try and prove himself to his father. He's a bit temperamental and brash, but he overall proves himself a capable ranger. Next is the Blue Ranger, Flynn. The son of an engineer who grew up trying to be a hero to others in need. This led to a lot of misfortune as he grew into an adult, including a number of lost jobs, one of which he lost from ripping off the movie Braveheart. Did I mention he's Scottish? When Venjix attacked, he found his calling when he saved a bunch of people by hijacking a bus and going into the fray to pick up several civilians being attacked. His character isn't much, but I liked him. At least his character wasn't as minor as the next person on our list. The Yellow Ranger, Summer. Summer was the daughter of a wealthy family know as the Landsdowns. She was quite the stereotypical stuck-up bitch, even going so far as to use her butler as a footstool. However, when the apocalypse began and she was abandoned by everyone, including her so-called friends, her butler came and helped her, leading her to eventually ask him why he bothered with her when she's been nothing but horrible to him. He tells her that he knows that there was more to her than what she's demonstrated this far, and that he's waiting to meet the real Summer. One day, however, a bunch of Grinders, the foot soldiers of Venjix's army, attack, killing the butler and leaving Summer on her own. When she arrives at Corinth, she picks up on a distress call about a crashed fighter jets and takes a motorcycle to help the pilot, who happened to be Scott. Once again, after her backstory episode, there's not much else development. She's more or less the "nice Ranger" and Dilan's love interest. Now for the Rangers that we love, Black and Green. First the Black Ranger, Dilan. Dilan is the one the show focuses on, so it's safe to say he's got more development than others. He rode into Corinth when he likely had nowhere else to go, but was apprehended due to the fact that he was a Hybrid, basically cyborgs with Venjix technology in their bodies. He can't remember anything about his past aside from the fact that he had a sister. His only lifeline to his past is a pocket watch that, when wound up with a key, plays a song like a music box. He's a bad boy, more or less and is the least likely one to just go along with whatever the Rangers do without question. Ziggy, on the other hand, our wonderful Green Ranger, is a nervous, yet charismatic and optimistic person. At the start of the season when the Rangers are introduced, he claims to be a big fan of them, yet is usually the one to point out the oddities that comes with being one, like the way their Zords look. At first he was cowardly, ready to shrink down and avoid danger, but he's still a good person. In his backstory episode, Ranger Green, he was a member of the mafia, more or less, and after the apocalypse, he was given a job to do, which was to deliver medical supplies to the gang Meetup, but instead took them to an orphanage where a number of the children were suffering illness. The mafia boss Fresno Bob (Yes, I know) was, of course, mad, so a man in the mafia who was friends with Ziggy snuck him out of Corinth. However, as we saw in the first episode, Ziggy came back since there was nowhere in the world that he could go to and he had better chances being in Corinth than out in the wasteland. He does gain courage and even skill in being a Ranger in time, but he remains the loveable fan favorite all throughout. Now every series of Power Rangers has those new "special" Rangers, at least that's how I see them, and what we get in that regard are Gem and Gemma, the Gold and Silver Rangers, two twins that started out outside of Corinth and fighting Venjix's forces with all they've got. They're incredibly excitable and love explosions and they also often do a finish-each-others-sentences kind of thing. Fans aren't quite as fond of these two which is understandable, as they can get kind of annoying from time to time. However, they're personalities are, as explained by Linkara, due to the fact that they never mentally matured and so are basically man-children. I'll get into the cause with the next character, Doctor K. Doctor K is they're "mentor" for this show, but of course Ziggy has a thought about that, wondering how she could be their mentor when she's younger than them. Unlike Gem and Gemma, Doctor K is incredibly anti-social, an introvert to the extreme. At the start of the series, she never communicated with the Rangers face-to-face, resorting to pulling an L and only talking to them through monitors and with a voice filter disguising her voice. However once Dilan brings it up and takes a big issue with it as it displays and could cause a lack of trust, she finally shows herself to the Rangers. At first, she's incredibly harsh, especially to Ziggy, but as the series progresses we see her try to change and open up. Throughout the series up to around the halfway point, she refers to the Rangers as the Rangers and not by their names, but she tries to change that. There's even an awkward hug in her development. Eventually she manages to address the Rangers by their names...except Ziggy, to his dismay. This is due to an extension of her personal issues. When Doctor K was a child, she was taken away by a think tank known as Alphabet Soup because she was a natural genius and was convinced that the sun was harmful to her, thus keeping her from trying to leave. As the years roll by, she regresses into an introvert until one day, the program introduces her to Gem and Gemma, who developed into extremely extroverted people. The two makes friends with Doctor K instantly, but Doctor K doesn't quite make friends with them until much later. One day, when she sees a butterfly, she follows it to a window where light is pouring in and realizes she's been lied to and plans to escape. When Gem and Gemma come by, she tells them she plans to escape by using a virus program named Venjix that she created to sabotage Alphabet Soup, but on the day she starts it up, the men of the program come and attempt to take her away, prompting her to try and install a firewall to keep Venjix from getting into the world beyond Alphabet Soup and fails. When the place begins to go to hell, Gem and Gemma disappear to go grab the Gold and Silver Morphers and Doctor K soon assumes them dead. After that she stopped opening up to people for a long time, keeping herself distant from others to protect herself. However, as stated, she does manage to slowly open up to the others and even manages to call the Rangers by their names except Ziggy. At first you might assume it's because she hates him, but as things soon progress you realize that she distances herself for longer from him because he's a bit different from the others. Finally, let's discuss the villains! Venjix is an intimidating big bad. He's ruthless and cold and relentless, though it's kinda funny how striking his stationary form is to that of HAL 9000. He takes on the Rangers himself multiple times later on in the series, showing that if his generals and attack bots can't deal with the Rangers, then he might as well. Speaking of his Generals, they don't do much in all honesty. Other than Tenaya-7, a cyborg used to infiltrate the domed city of Corinth, the generals don't get much time to do anything. I can't remember any of their names, they're so scarce. The foot soldiers this time around are fairly nice, though they don't receive any upgrade aside from one specific episode and then they never do it again. It's a touch disappointing, but never quite as much as the generals. The story soon reaches a point where Dilan finds out that Tenaya is a Hybrid and his sister and attempts to contact her. Eventually she joins them and attempts to infiltrate Venjix's headquarters and succeeds, but are soon driven out. Tenaya is then soon taken back by Venjix and taken control of to ensure she doesn't betray him again. All the while there's a subplot about how the Venjix virus is inside Dilan and is spreading and that once it reaches a certain percentage, he'll be susceptible to mind control, which he soon is, but thankfully Doctor K, in that time, had begun developing a cure, which Dilan, in his last moments of free will, uses to expel the virus from him, and then uses on Tenaya too. The show all builds to a final confrontation with Venjix in his ultimate body, and ends when Gem and Gemma literally drop a building top of him. The threat of Venjix is finally gone and the world will finally be open to restoration, though it would take quite a while. The show ended on a cliffhanger that was created to ask Disney for a second season, but it never happened. Power Rangers RPM is my favorite series so far and I highly recommend it to any Power Rangers fan out there to go watch it if you haven't seen it yet. Trust me, it's great. I love the characters and the plot and premise, and I love the humor. It does suffer some flaws like the change in direction with the story after the original writer got canned, the incredibly near-pointless generals and a few character issues like Gem and Gemma's personalities and a distinct lack of character development for Flynn and Summer, but it's also one of, if not the most mature Power Rangers series so far. One thing that irks me, however is that they chose the wrong theme song to use for the show. It's this grungy theme song that's few in lyrics, but if you look up Power Rangers RPM alternate theme song, you'll understand just how big they fucked up in that regard. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this or at least found it tolerable. Next time I'll be discussing Power Rangers Dino Charge.

Hi, Marie Kondo here. Author of The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Upand host of the new Netflix show Tidying Up.

I know you guys are not used to listening to a small-framed Asian woman speak with authority, but I’m going to say this once and for all: You can keep all your fucking books, you ungrateful motherfuckers. All I wanted was to spark a little joy in your fucking miserable lives, which you’ve tried to make fulfilling by purchasing fucking stuff. But fuck me, I guess, for mentioning that I like to have only 30 books in my house.

See, the problem here is that some of you have interpreted my warm voice, bubbly attitude, and cheery disposition as a surefire sign that I will personally come to your home and build a bonfire out of your unread copies of those J. K. Rowling novels she wrote under a pseudonym that sounds like the name of a Hogwarts professor. Your ex-boyfriend gave you those for your anniversary three years ago. Had you ever mentioned wanting to read those books? Not really. But you did once tell your ex you were a Hufflepuff, so surely they must have some emotional value to you. What kind of fucking monster am I for suggesting you maybe consider donating those books to a local library or thrift shop? So yeah, go off. Enjoy the adventures of Cormoran Fucking Strike. Yeah, that’s the name of the main character. Buckle up, buddy.

The KonMari method is about decluttering and organizing based on categories and on what works for you. What brings you joy. When I said I personally liked having 30 books in my house, I meant it because that’s what I like. It was a fucking suggestion, not a threat. What do you think I’m going to do with your unread copies of Elena Ferrante’s Neapolitan novels? Yeah, you haven’t read those but you’ve heard the show is great. Have you watched that yet? Of course not, because there’s a literal mountain of books blocking your view of the TV! So what do you think I’m gonna do? Put them in a sack like some kind of decluttering Grinch? And then what, take them home? I already have all the books I want in my house, you absolute morons! It’s 30, but that’s a number for ME. You can have as many books as you fucking want!

I only wanted to make you happy. My advice was, “Get rid of the books that intimidate you and make you feel like your reading list is never ending.” They exist! Stop lying to yourselves. Don’t tell me you’ll start that David McCullough book on Harry Truman your dad sent you apropos of nothing. Did you know he’s from Independence, Missouri? It’s in the first five pages. Of course you don’t, because you haven’t read the book, so I’m sorry I suggested you get rid of the monolithic tome that’s been sitting on your kitchen counter—on your kitchen counter!—for two years!

I’m sorry you’re not used to my patient and gentle approach. Perhaps I should come to your home as they do on your American show Hoarders and shame the shit out of you for keeping all those New Yorkers you never read under the coffee table. You know what coffee tables are for? COFFEE, not unread David Remnick editorials. Oh, oh, you do read them? THE CARTOONS DON’T COUNT. If they bring you joy, follow them on Instagram.

Maybe one day life will present us with the opportunity where you’ll give me some advice. I don’t see how, seeing as I am already a very successful woman and you’re a fucking greedy nerd who gets sore at the thought of sharing an object you are not putting to use, i.e. your fucking books, with someone who might actually read them, but let’s pretend nonetheless. Maybe one day you’ll tell me, “Marie, going blonde did wonders for my self-esteem.” To which I’ll react by murdering every blonde person in my life because I refuse to understand how something that worked for you might maybe, perhaps work for me if I gave it a chance.

And while we’re talking about my extremely successful show, I’m done with all of your useless husbands who say things like “this girl is for real” when I ask them to get rid of their useless novelty t-shirts. Oh, I’m sorry. I am a published fucking author on the subject of decluttering. I am 34 years old and I have my own TV show about this. Of course I’m for fucking real, Vince. Ex-fucking-cuse me for suggesting your “Female Body Inspector” t-shirt may not be as precious as you think it is.

Joy,

Marie Fucking Kondo
