Now, I am currently having a debate about why World Conquest Zvezda Plot is the best anime.

"There was widespread support for animal welfare in Nazi Germany[1] (German: Tierschutz im nationalsozialistischen Deutschland) among the country's leadership. Adolf Hitler and his top officials took a variety of measures to ensure animals were protected.[2]

Several Nazis were environmentalists, and species protection and animal welfare were significant issues in the Nazi regime.[3] Heinrich Himmler made an effort to ban the hunting of animals.

[4] Hermann Göring was a professed animal lover and conservationist,[5] who, on instructions from Hitler, committed Germans who violated Nazi animal welfare laws to concentration camps.

In his private diaries, Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels described Hitler as a vegetarian whose hatred of the Jewish religion in large part stemmed from the ethical distinction this faith drew between the value of humans and the value of animals; Goebbels also mentions that Hitler planned to discourage slaughterhouses in the German Reich following the conclusion of World War II.[6]"

As for why Hitler invaded USSR, you can hear Hitler explain it here:

Long ago, I had a cat.

It had black and white colors.

It was male.

Whats interesting about this cat is that it was different from all other cats.

It didnt want to attack other cats. It didnt want to catch mice. It didnt want to attack anyone.

It was the most peaceful cat I have ever seen.

Yet his life was short.

It only lived for a year before getting hit by a car.

Cats which were much more aggressive and much more violent lived longer.

I havent had any water today, because being thirsty feels good.

Okay, so before we get into any debate, lets make it clear what I mean because I dont wanna run around in circles explaining what the topic is.

Homosexuality and pedophilia are sexual attractions.

However, they are not a choice.

Person cannot choose what to be attracted to.

Since they didnt choose it, something else had to create it.

Did God create sexual attractions? Sure he did, given that he designed our brain in the first place.

Then the obvious question: Why?

Why would God create homosexuality and pedophilia?

Like, what sparked up in God's mind to think "Yeah, this is a good idea."?

Since these attractions often motivate people to commit sin, and God created them, then God is literally motivating people to sin.

So one must really wonder if God is maybe evil.

I think its good not to cause pain to people.

My ideology changes a lot, so its hard for people to keep up.

Here are my general views right now:

Capitalism - good

Communism - bad

Abortion - bad

Religion - good

Gay - neutral

Trans surgery - neutral

Trump - good

Biden - bad

Russia - bad

Israel - bad

Ukraine - bad

Child marriage - bad

Veganism - bad

Vegetarianism - good

Porn - bad

Smoking - bad

Drugs - bad

Guns - bad

Accepting migrants - good

Government healthcare - bad

Maybe I forgot few, but I think this covers most of my political topics.

Now, I usually hate math, but I had to wonder.

If tarot gives 50% yes answers and 50% no answers, is it always correct 50% of the time?

Yea.

If some situation has 0% chance of happening, tarot will still give true answer 50% of the time and wrong answer 50% of the time.

For example, in theory, tarot yields 50 "yes" answers and 50 "no" answers out of 100 readings.

So if situation has 0% chance of being right and was always "no", the tarot would accurately guess "no" 50% of the time.

What if something only had 1% chance of happening?

Tarot would still have 50% chance of guessing if it will happen or not.

Tarot is magic, really. It is above science.

Please ask yes or no questions so tarot can answer them.

I have bunch of divination apps on my phone, including tarot, crystal ball, rune divination, horoscope...

I think its real, because it often gives me correct answers about my future, so in most cases I know what to expect.

You dont want to be upset, so why upset others?

OwO

I notice that I feel a sense of happiness when I see someone upset.

I often even start arguments on offensive topics just to upset people.

I am even ready to bring shame and failure to myself just to upset someone else.

I think its due to all those violent cartoons I watched as a kid.

The main premise of those cartoons was always in a sense of "When this character is hurt, I am very happy.".

I think some of that got copied in my brain, so I get pleasure when people are upset.

Narcissism definition:

"selfishness, involving a sense of entitlement, a lack of empathy, and a need for admiration, as characterizing a personality type"

Many science studies say that parents can alter their child's mind, even create partial copies of themselves.

Kinda like parents who lie a lot are more likely to produce children who lie a lot.

But there is also the opposite effect which is also harmful.

A child might be so hurt by his parent's lies that he tries to be as different from them as possible, becoming incapable to lie and being too honest, which is an evolutionary disadvantage.

Does narcissism work in same way?

If parents are narcissists, their children can also be narcissists, because people copy each other's behavior and children copy more than others.

But what is the opposite case? What is the case where child hates his parents so he tries to be furthest thing from a narcissist?

Instead of wanting for people to praise him, he goes the opposite way, he doesnt care for a praise, doesnt try to get it, he even hates praise, or he tries to avoid being praised, or does nothing to get praise.

This behavior might be harmful, because people are usually motivated by praise, and by ignoring praise, person might lose motivation in life.

From this, we see that negative parent's behavior can produce two possible negative outcomes:

1. Child copying negaive behavior

Or

2. Child going in other extreme and trying to create total opposite behavior that is also negative.

So every day, I go to pick some plants for chickens.

I feed them mostly grains and greens. 

I will also try feed them grass seeds once grass goes to seed.

But I noticed they look kinda bored, because every time they see me they run towards me because I always bring them some food or water.

But they often dont eat all the grains or greens or fruit, and I notice they lack entertainment.

So I read that chickens need entertainment, so I decided to get them toys like ladders and swing for chickens.

I think I am on the right path so far, because chickens are increasing in size and are growing really fast.

I dont approve of Hitler's actions or words, but its obvious that he was best speaker by far.

His words had a certain magic to them, certain beauty and charm which words of other people simply dont have.

It is like every his speech teaches you something but it also sounds like poem and has charming element to it.

I asked AI, and AI said to simply use confidence, passion and repetition.

I already use repetition, but I dont think I sound like Hitler.

There is something more, I am sure, and I will discover it so that my words can sound as good as Hitler's words.

Of course, I dont plan to use that power for evil. I want to learn to talk like Hitler so that I can help all people who struggle in conversations.

What I like about this anime is that its impossible to make much sense of it.

There is a girl who is 2000 years old, and she suddenly decides that she wants to conquer the world.

She has powers, but its very unclear how her powers even work.

She has a bag from which she can make a huge arm to strike her enemies which works at random.

She hates people who smoke and she even motivated others to attack anyone who smokes.

She forms a military group to conquer the world, but first starts with conquering Japan.

But somehow, its the smokers who oppose her and her main enemy is a person who gains some strange power from just smoking.

She also gains and loses powers at random, and the scale of her powers is never clearly defined.

Other than banning smoking, she didnt make any precise laws or even requests.

She says that world wants to be conquered, and thats about it.

Her military group often comes in strange situations, and the anime is mostly based on comedy and trolling rather than serious events.

Its too bad that season 2 was cancelled.

"Under the leadership of Supreme Commander Kim Jong Un, North Korea will advance into a prosperous country with bright Socialist future, sparking the unlimited great development of a country while following military first policy in both economy and politics and all areas of life.

North Korea is the last free country on Earth, building the future in its Socialist stronghold, ready to respond to provocative actions of the imperialist forces while defending the revolution and all people.

North Korea will defend itself, just as it defends the rights of billions of people who do not profit from the aggressive rule of imperialist aggressors.

The struggle of people for freedom and happy life is the greatest struggle which has North Korea at the center guiding the world to a great future and removing all bad things which harm people's life, creating a paradise for all future generations to enjoy for all eternity.

May the light of North Korea shine through this world!"

I know that many types of grass and weeds are edible for both humans and animals.

When I first started researching grass, I was told by google that humans wouldnt get any calories from eating grass.

Of course, thats because I didnt specify the type of grass, and google answers such as Quora often come from simple people who do 0 research but still give answers anyway.

Later I found out that certain grasses are edible for humans.

But what surprised me in chickens is that they eat everything.

They pick any grass available and eat it.

They even eat soil.

Despite having lots of wheat and corn available, they seem to also enjoy eating hay, dry grass, leaves...

So I am going to mow some grass and give it to them.

Before I used to specifically pick dandelions, clover and nettle, but chickens seem to be eating almost any other grass too, even dried.

So I figured I might as well just mow some grass and give them.

"I want to give the one who was hired last the same as I gave you. Don’t I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?’"

Matthew 20:13

Even if there was proof that Jesus isnt real, then I would rather believe in Jesus than in proof.

Proof is subjective.

So I wanted to start an egg farm, and I finally got the chickens.

I gave them some dandelions, some green plants I found.

I also gave them catkins and apple, but they werent as interested.

I was told that because they were fed with certain food, it will take them some time to get used to food I give them.

I also give them grains.

They havent yet started laying eggs.

Its gonna take some time.

My goal is to feed them with variety of food, and give them plenty of water.

I dont have raspberries yet, or strawberries grown, so I think a bought apple or some other fruit will have to be for now.

I believe in 3 policies:

1. Free market

2. Military to protect the free market

3. Some support to the poorest

So in my view, USA should have the following budget:

1. Current military spending is good enough at about 900 billion dollars.

2. Healthcare budget should be abolished completely.

3. All schools should be private, not payed by government

4. Poor people should get income of 500$ a month, which is about 6000$ a year, and with 40 million poor people, thats 240 billions.

So with abolishing healthcare budget and public schools, US budget would save over 2 trillion dollars.

Basically, the only increase in spending in this new budget would be 240 billions to the poor.

240 billion is insignificant to 2 trillions being saved.

Taxes should be reduced slightly.

Some money should also be printed, it shouldnt all come from taxes.

Often you will encounter trolls when online, so here are the options how to deal with them.

1. Ignore

Probably the most simple strategy which requires least effort.

Simply, dont respond or even read what trolls write, or just change topic back to what it was.

2. Respond with positive

-Positive about yourself

-Positive about the troll

-Positive about someone else or something else

Trolls hate positivity. In fact, giving compliment to troll will often put them off balance.

3. Respond with negative

-Negative about yourself

-Negative about troll

-Negative about someone else or something else

I dont encourage this option, but saying something bad about yourself often confuses the troll.

4. Respond with neutral

-Neutral about yourself

-Neutral about troll

-Neutral about someone else or something else.

Neutral is neither positive nor negative, but it confuses the troll because it cant figure out what are you trying.

5. Respond with irrelevant

-Irrelevant about yourself

-Irrelevant about troll

-Irrelevant about someone else or something else

This is considered trolling tactic, so why not use it against trolls?

6. Respond in opposites

Making two contradictory statements one after another does not make you vunerable to attack, rather it shows that you are aware of options.

7. Negate

-Say that certain logic or information is assumption(unproven).

-Disprove logic or information.

-Outweigh with arguments.

-Make assumptions yourself which cannot be disproved or proved.

8. Turn it into positive

Add facts or assumptions which makes the troll's claim work for you to make you look good

9. Counter-option

Write an option contradictive to troll's claim.

10. Ask troll a question

Trolls are often confused by questions, since most of them dont expect that so are unprepared.

So far I have been operating without a schedule, so my activities were more like arbitrary rampage than a planned out events.

Thats why I have created a plan involving these activities which will be occuring:

1. Stories

-Sad stories

-Happy stories

-Moral stories

-Funny stories

-Scary stories

-Unpredictable stories (changes)

2. Trolling

-Troll debates

-Troll posts

3. Jokes

4. Poems

5. Debates

-Serious

-Short debates

-Long debates

-Troll debates

6. Interviews

7. Challenges

-Asking people to prove or disprove something

-Asking people to convince me that some idea is good/bad

8. Guide

-Fields of knowledge

-Explanations

9. Education

-Announcements

-Facts and reports

10. Surveys

-Opinions "yes or no"

-opinions on order of importance

-Opinions on things

11. Demands

12. Prayers

-Prayers to many different Gods, one God at the time.

13. Reward system

-This site lacks the proper reward system for activity, and I am not yet sure how to introduce one.

I dont say that these 13 will be occuring in any specific order, but I want to have them written so I am aware of many options I have when posting.

It seems that any time government tries to have high taxes and run buisnesses, it ends bad.

In theory, Communism works.

The government elected by people redistributes the wealth so that all basic needs of all are met.

In practice?

Government is corrupt.

It wants money for itself.

Buisnesses bribe the government to work for them, or worse, some members of government have private buisnesses and they use their position to make more money.

Of course, it would be great if government printed limited amount of money to give to the poor, but it doesnt work because government has no interest to do that.

Government is simply greedy.

Those who fight to be in power arent some saints or angels, but people who enjoy the feeling of power and decision making for others.

I think after 200 years of failed government policies, one can not really hope that it "gets better" any time soon.

I heard something like cat being run over by a car the other night.

It was still alive for some time, for a couple of minutes, dying in pain, twisting, until it died.

So the next day I went out and cat was still on the road.

I approached it and started thinking about its life.

"Looks like you died buddy.

You probably had a hard life as a cat living on the street eating from trash.

People probably kicked you all the time, and never pet you.

The only love you might have ever got was for a short time as a kitten from your cat mom, until she too rejected you.

You had to fight for your life many times, and looks like your life ended by being dead on a road.

They will probably just throw you into trash can which you used to eat from and they will forget about you.

Nobody will ever know anything about your life.

Nobody will remember you.

But I will.

I will remember that there was a being which was forced to be alive only to die terribly in pain, the cruel injustice in the world based on injustice.

So in a way, you were important to open my eyes regarding the lack of humanity in humans, the society which is a cruel machine which does not operate on compassion, a cruel driver which does not even care about the horrible pain he caused you.

I am sorry that my knowledge had to come at the price of your horrible pain.

Thank you, cat, and farewell.".

I was thinking how to give more life to the site, and I saw its common in politics to have interviews, and I thought I can do that here.

They will be in form of 2 round debates.

Round 1 is where I skip and then Pro selects topic and his stance on it.

It should be some good topic, and not something like "US should attack Canada".

Then in round 2, I ask up to 10 questions. I have about 500 character limit.

Then Pro has 10,000 characters to answer those questions.

If Pro refuses to answer, he loses, of course.

I used to have a friend who was gay.

He kept asking money from me, and even once told me he was raped just so that I would feel pity and give him more money.

These are sick people.

No one should really support homosexual ideology, because it spreads.

These are not honest people.

They are not who they say they are.

I believe everything in life comes in opposites.

There are times when you are hungry and times when you are not.

There are times when you are thirsty and times when you are not.

There are times when you are resting and times when you are not.

There are times when you are working and sweating, and times when you are not.

There are times when you are cold and times when you are not.

If you try to never be hungry, by eating all the time, you will feel worse.

If you try to never be thirsty by drinking water all the time, you will feel worse.

Cycles are about the switch of good and evil, the switch between two opposites, the switch between something and lack of something.

The more cycles you have in life, the more interesting your life will be.

For example, being thirsty for a whole day and then drinking water at the end of the day feels great.

Being hungry for a day and then eating a little feels great.

The cycles teaches that everything must have beginning and end.

If you try to do same thing all the time without opposite to counter it, you will fail.

I always say that people should listen to good music if they want to be strong.

North Korea is much better than South Korea in terms of birth rates, population growth and suicide rates.

There are no gays and pedophiles in North Korea.

North Korea is strong because it has unity and family-oriented society.

This is their song:

"Continuing the glorious tradition of anti-Japanese resistance,

Glorious ranks forged into steel

As General Kim Il Sung's red warriors

We fight to protect our Socialist motherland

We sacrifice both our youth and our lives

The victorious ranks loyal to the revolution

Led by a great leader

We fight to protect the Party Central Committee with our lives

With each step of the past battles

Undefeated troops shine with victory

Single-mindedly following the path shown by the leader

We complete the Korean revolution

Lets move forward, Korean People's Army

We shall show our hundredfold bravery

Lets annihilate the imperialist aggressors all together"

I really shouldnt have made so many arguments defending map people.

I realize now that being map is just as wrong as being gay.

An adult should never have sex with a child because it could give child a disease.

There is no justification for such act.

People should dedicate their life to research and making a world a better place.

If every person tried to make world better, world would be great.

In chess, I mostly play defensive because when I play aggressive, game lasts very short and I usually start losing quickly.

But here are some things I learned, I am not sure how correct they are:

To me, it seems like its easier to defend 2 pawns than to defend 3 or 4 or 5.

So I make version of stonewall where I go

A3, B2, C3, D4, E3, F2, G3, H4

In this structure, only pawns B2 and F2 are undefended by any pawns.

There are some other versions of formation too, but usually I set the goal to make greatest number of pawns protect each other.

I really hate when some piece ends up blocked by my own pawns and becomes useless to me.

Thats why I try to get all pieces out early.

Which brings me to my next point.

It seems that if I trade piece for piece, the game develops further.

Of course, I only trade pieces of equal value or if it benefits me to trade.

Its very important to control center so that enemy cant put pieces there.

It seems to me that in most cases, when capturing pawns with pawns, you are supposed to move towards center.

Just because pawn attacks your pawn, it doesnt mean that you should capture it with your pawn.

Sometimes its more beneficial not to capture.

Sometimes its good to offer a piece for a pawn, to break through defense.

Now, I still cant beat computer at hardest difficulty, because it seems that its incapable of making a mistake, while I am very much capable of making mistakes.

Computer also has a very strong defense. Often I have to sacrifice 3 or 4 pieces just to get to king and I still cant checkmate but at best I can force draw.

Are there any other tips in chess? Am I missing something?

Atheists have much lower reproduction rates than Christians, but even if they do reproduce, their children are more suicidal.

"Kids are less likely to think about suicide or attempt to kill themselves if religion or spirituality is important to their parents, a small study suggests"

It comes as no surprise, as countries such as Japan and South Korea, which have no significant concept of God, have much more suicides than Afghanistan and much lower birth rates.

It shows that even poorest highly religious countries are more willing to live than countries which replaced religion with Pikachu.

I see it happen over and over.

The main problem of this site is that expert fights a noob, an experienced boxer fights a skinny guy, everyone already knows the outcome of the fight and the fight itself is not only pointless, but cruel.

I know that new users tend to come off as aggressive at first, and typical response of experienced users is to crush them.

New user comes to the site, then gets destroyed by experienced users and quits the site in embarrasment.

I think if we want new users on this site, we have to give them some space.

Let new users debate new users.

If you must engage new users, dont do so in a way to crush their world view.

I am not going to argue with new users anymore, if they attack my arguments, I will just ignore them, giving them the "victory".

If you want new users, make them feel more comfortable, let them have fun.

Hail to Loki!
Trickster and Worldbreaker,

May that which does not serve me break,
Such as the cycles You begin and end,

May that which feeds me no good will leave,
Such as those who have broken their word to You,

May I see the joy and humor of this life,
Such as You who gives laughter to Skadi.

Hail to Loki!
Giver of Blood,

May I not be ashamed of my emotions,
Such as You who feels them all,

May I find what keeps my heart pumping,
Such as You who is the ignition of my passions,

May I be kept hale and whole,
Such as You who heals and mends His Family.

President Biden said that people shouldnt exchange college degree for being forced to pay huge amounts of money for a long time.

Instead, people should be helped to live their dream and not live by having almost no extra money because they have to pay off college degree.

I noticed something in life.

If I eat food all the time, I dont really enjoy it much.

It just becomes something regular, which brings no much joy.

But if I deprive myself of food for a day or two, I start thinking about food, and all I can think of is food, and once I eat it, it feels really good.

Additionally, if I only eat some food, but not too much, if I am not overeating at time when I eat, the feeling becomes even better.

This stands as counter to over eating.

When I researched about satanism, I learned that it teaches overeating.

At the time, it seemed really good.

But now I am looking at other extreme, which is eating only a small amount of food in a day.

I use same logic with water drinking.

After I wake up, I dont drink water for about 8 hours of the day, and then after some time of thirst, I drink lots of water at once, about 700 mililiters, and then few hours later another 700 mililiters, and then some time later some more water.

It seems that

"thirst and drinking"

"Hunger and eating"

"Depriving of something and something"

These are opposites which are best when they each exist for some time, and then get negated by the other.

Even masturbation feels better when you dont masturbate for a week or for a month.

Of course, there is an ideal ratio.

As a general rule, its okay to not eat for one day or two or for most of the day.

Its usually okay to not drink water for 8 to 10 hours unless you become too thirsty.

Its okay to reduce amount of calories you eat as long as you are still getting all the vitamins and you are not losing weight too quickly.

Its okay to eat once or twice a day. In fact, it probably works better for health if you are not constantly eating and digesting food.

In Japan, people live very long and they have a rule where they dont "eat until full".

They dont practice things such as "eat until you are full and cant eat anymore", because they think its bad for health.

And it feels good to stop yourself from eating before you feel like you had enough.

I have been doing lots of research, and I think that I am ready to have an experiment where I live on food from nature for a longer time.

Mainly, I would focus on this food:

1. Dandelion greens and other edible wild greens

2. Tree catkins/pollen

3. Raspberries

4. Dandelion flowers

5. Willow seeds

6. Grass pollen

Including raspberries in this list feels like cheating, but I do like sugar and I am not sure how will I manage to go for months without chocolate if I skip on raspberries as well.

I already ate lots of tree catkins raw.

I know the ones I ate are safe to eat.

They are just harder to chew than regular food.

But they seem to be available in great amount.

Not all are safe to eat.

The only thing which I am curious about is how nutritious are they.

I know squirrels eat catkins, so there probably is some good nutrition in them.

With dandelion greens and any greens, I will make sure to wash them.

I dont want to risk getting sick from unwashed food.

Grass pollen is something I am uncertain about, but I will give it a try.

Edible willow catkins should give me plenty of food, and I want to try those willow seeds as well.

As for nuts and fruit, they become available later in year, and at that point I will already be ending experiment to view results.

I will be taking vitamins, as I am not sure how would I even obtain B12 in nature from plants alone.

I will begin experiment as soon as enough green edible plants appear, because I dont want to start on catkins alone.

I will not be eating dandelion roots, because that kills the plant entirely and its unnecessary with dandelion greens available.

Having options is something which is most desirable by all humans.

All humans desire to have many options in life.

Life without options tends to be a bad life, since people who have no desirable options available to them tend to suffer.

Therefore, increasing number of options is most desirable.

So anything which increases number of options people have is morally good.

But to achieve equality between people, everyone must have equal amount of options available to him.

Hence the term "greatest equal options".

For example,

I have an option to eat sugar. I also have an option not to eat sugar.

Those are in total 2 options.

You have those same options.

Your options dont contradict to mine, so we can both have those options, we can both have any of the 2 options, greatest equal number of options.

If sugar was banned, we would only have 1 option, which is to not eat sugar.

Since allowing sugar increases number of options we have, it follows that allowing sugar is morally good, where making sugar mandatory or banning it is morally bad.

So anything which increases number of options to the greatest amount possible is morally good, where things which decrease options are morally bad.

This moral system still needs to be tested for how well it handles things like abortions and refusing to reproduce, because I like moral systems which make abortion look good,

although its gonna be difficult with this particular moral system which seems to be promoting the creation of life to increase number of options by increasing number of people.

I used to have depression coming back every now and then.

I could never figure out what exactly causes it, until I started personal quest where I wrote a lot about what relates to depression.

My first observation was masturbation. 

It seemed that if I dont masturbate for 2 weeks, depression stops and doesnt come back anymore.

However, what builds up is pressure, so it was not an ideal solution.

The next discovery I made was drinking a lot of water at once, about 700 mililiters at once.

It was much better, but from that discovery, I concluded that maybe overeating also reduces depression.

Turns out thats true too. If I eat a lot of food at once, I become happy.

Other discoveries were positive thinking, simple problem solving, one meal per day, learning new things... all which were shown to help with depression.

But my best discovery was pure accident.

I wanted to see how much calories I can reduce daily without losing weight.

It was sort of a test to see how much food I really need.

The test itself also came as an accident, because I got sick and couldnt eat for a few days, and since I didnt feel hunger, I wanted to use the opportunity and for research purposes after that I reduced calories daily to about 1000, then increased to 1200 later.

However, when doing this research, I didnt think it would have effect on the mood and depression.

I couldnt help but notice that my mood greatly improved.

Depression didnt return at all.

To my surprise, reducing calories to about 1200, and eating once or twice a day, seems to work surprisingly well to solve depression.

Even after I controlled for other factors, such as water intake and how often I drink water.

It seems that simply reducing amount of calories alone does great against depression and improves mood significantly.

In research, its really important to write everything down, because thats how you notice causation/relation.

In fact, I dont think much research is possible if I rely on my memory alone.

Okay, so after testing some decks, it seems to me that yugioh is now all about spamming monsters.

There is simply no point in making trap deck, even hand traps seem to be a waste.

The principle of duel is quite simple.

Your goal is to have card combinations, the more the better.

Trap cards simply harm the card combination, and they arent really guaranteed to work to stop opponent.

For example, 

I put in my deck 3x Ra sphere mode, 3x lava golem and 2x primal being.

All other cards I put in deck serve the purpose of summoning.

For example, my kashtira deck is 3x of each kashtira card, 3x Ra, 3x Lava Golem, 2x Primal being.

And thats what works.

But as soon as you place trap cards, such as solemn, your deck starts being less consistent.

This is true since trap cards are non-combination cards.

Yugioh is all about combination cards now.

Basically, 2 or more cards which form a combination.

Without combination, you cant do much.

But trap card means one less card in your hand.

So where you would otherwise have 2 available combinations, too much trap cards in deck can reduce the number of combinations to 1 or even 0.

And since many combinations get stopped, the goal is to have as much combinations as possible.

Trap cards reduce your combinations certainly, but they arent guaranteed to stop opponent's combinations.

For example, if you go second, you wont even be able to use traps, since opponent will go first.

And if opponent succeeds in summoning monster, traps cant do anything against it.

This is very different from before.

Back in the old days, yugioh was all about trap cards.

In fact, summoning 1 monster and setting 4 traps was common play.

Now, it is basically non-existent play.

Its simply because monster spam decks got too much support.

Most of the top decks can summon over 5 monsters every turn, and traps cant counter that.

The only thing which counters that is if you also summon that much per turn, and if you have cards like Ra sphere mode to clear up the field.

I think that children should have freedom.

The thinking is simple.

If you say:

"I have a right to tell a child what to do."

I ask:

"Is this a child you own? Is this child your property?"

If the answer is no, then I dont see why would you be able to command someone who is not even your property.

If the answer is yes, then you support slavery.

It is clear that during spring, summer and fall there are many sources of food in the wild which can be used for survival.

But during winter, there is almost nothing green.

I say almost.

Pine tree needles remain green even during winter.

Now, many sources say that they contain vitamin C, which is good because you are not going to find many sources of that vitamin in winter.

But I was wondering, do they have calories?

Calories which are useful for humans come in four forms:

protein, fat, sugar and alcohol.

Some sources say that pine tree needles have up to 8% protein.

Now, 8% would be 8 grams of protein in 100 grams of pine tree needles.

1 gram of protein is 4 calories.

So 8 grams of protein would have about 32 calories.

They also contain fat, which could add more to calories.

Pine trees are available in winter, and for the whole year.

However, there is a question of if they would be a significant food source.

Because usually, a source of calories must satisfy 3 standards:

1. That it contains enough calories per 100 grams

2. That it weighs enough

3. That you can eat it in an amount which gives you lots of calories

3 is most important. Even if 1 and 2 is satisfied, 3 could be unsatisfied.

At my best guess, pine tree needles have about 50 calories per 100 grams.

Since they are tiny, one would assume that they dont weigh much,

but one could also say that their water content would add to weight.

Mililiters are a meassure of volume.

Water weighs about 100 grams per 100 mililiters, so assuming 70% water content, 100 mililiters of blended pine tree needles would weigh at least 70 grams.

Of course, when not blended, it has greater volume since air fills empty space.

Another question is: are pine tree needles harmful in greater amount?

The answer would probably be yes at some amount, but exact amount is unknown because pine tree needles dont have people willing to eat lots of them to prove how much is too much.

People mostly use pine tree needles to make tea full of vitamin C, and certain guides say that you can chew pine tree needles to get vitamin C.

Of course, always make sure to identify the tree properly.

Yew tree is poisonous, for example.

What is the purpose of a brain?

To learn and to create new knowledge based on learned knowledge.

You are your brain.

That is your purpose.

I noticed that the more you learn, you open new paths which you didnt know before.

In fact, many things are related, and learning about one thing can make you realize new knowledge about other things, since knowledge about one thing can be applied to other thing as well.

Brain constantly learns, but brain must first learn about things which interest it, and then move on to other things.

Since the brain is made to learn, it means you are made to learn.

And in this century, learning is easy.

You have google and AI willing to explain anything to you.

Its on you to write down and learn.

Writing down is important, because human brain forgets some things or fails to remember them correctly.

The amount of knowledge in the world is great, and each person is interested in something.

So to learn what you are interested in is your purpose!

"Iron armor made with conviction and courage

Our tanks go forward

If the enemy provokes our bravery

The enemy camp will become sea of fire

We are the brave Korean tankists

And the breakthrough to annihilation is ours

The steel armor is the wings of the storm

The cannon strikes like fists

The heaven lake trembles to the sound

Of our victory cry

We stand up for the final battle

And our tanks will stand at any time

The thunders will punish invading hordes

For the motherland is a safe fortress

Lets go towards our goals without hesitation

Chew and spit them all 

We are the brave Korean tankists

We raise the victory flag

And the tanks will raise at any time"

Now, most of the people have probably never heard of catkins.

Catkins grow on certain trees, such as hazelnut trees, pine trees...

I was not familiar with what catkins were until recently, when I saw them on tree branch.

It obviously wasnt the fruit of a tree, so I figured it must be pollen.

I took about 30 of them from tree, I weighed them and they weigh about 25 grams.

Thats a good weigh, so then I wondered if they have calories.

So I did research, and apparently, they are called catkins.

While there is no exact data on them, some sources say that they contain lots of protein and are edible.

Now, when collecting catkins in a survival situation, you must know that only certain trees have edible catkins.

So you must know how to identify a tree before you can eat from it.

Trees were historically a source of survival for ancient people.

Fruit trees, nut trees, berries... were very important food for them.

I know that trees are very easy to grow, and berries are also easy to grow, so I plant them often in an effort to create great food source.

Trees like hazelnuts, walnuts... live very long and dont require any care if you live in area with sufficient amount of rain.

I do plan to plant about 60 tree transplants in total.

I dont plant seeds, because they have high failure rate.

Transplants so far had over 90% success rate, and they give fruit much sooner than seeds do, so they pay off much more.

I like planting trees much more than I like planting vegetables.

Trees require much less work, just involve more waiting.

But if you plant dwarf tree, you wait less. 

Apparently, one of the apple dwarf trees I planted started producing in year two.

So since vegetables involve lots of tilling and weeding, and trees dont involve that, and since trees are more beneficial for the environment, I chose to grow lots of trees and only some vegetables.

With trees, all you have to do is learn how to plant properly, make sure there is enough space between trees and water after planting.
