Lol, I mean, my beliefs don't hurt anyone because I utilize them as a focal point for mental progression and growth. I am more focused, more calm, and I have improved in my art to a huge degree. Are the stones realistically having an impact on reality, or me? No! But does the placebo effect have value if used properly? We are the only species able.to engage in self reflection and self mastery, and with that stated it may be possible to utlelize belief systems to better oneself if they provide ritual and routine to a highly intelligent but disordered mind.

From what I saw of the actual footage of the event, the vast majority of that 10,000 (if that number is even accurate) were counter-protestors, probably around 80-90%. Article is misleading bullshit.

Weasel wording in the article. Yes, that protest drew a large amount of people...but most were there to support Ukraine.

Almost every state requires it for transparency. There are a few they allow for anonymous claims

Sesame Street taught me that as a kid

Interesting. Now I’m curious what sentences for murderers of pregnant young women would get across the planet now. Of course, I think punishment is known as not an effective deterrent. At least not for those convicted of crimes, it’s not.

Honestly if I ever won something like that. I’d try to work with lawyers to hide it, or find a legal way to have someone claim and take like 1 million payment just to have their name attached to it

"A demonstration against supplying Ukraine with weapons for war with Russia attracted 10,000 people on Saturday, drawing criticism from top German government officials and a large police presence to maintain order."

"Organised by a prominent left-wing German politician, the protest comes a day after the one-year anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which drew promises of more weapons from western allies, fresh sanctions against Russia and shows of support for Kyiv across the globe."

""We call on the German chancellor to stop the escalation of arms deliveries. Now!...Because every day lost costs up to 1,000 more lives - and brings us closer to a 3rd world war," the protest's organizers said on their website."

"The "Uprising for Peace" was organised in part by Sahra Wagenknecht, a member of Germany's left-wing Die Linke party."

"Germany, along with the United States, has been one of the biggest suppliers of weapons for Ukraine."

Get outta here with your logic! No place for that in speculation Reddit.

Those reports don't support your claim either. I guess you assumed I wouldn't bother even reading the relevant sections...

??? It was called the Continental Army led by Generals, Colonels, etc. They had a uniform and bases. Your reference to military academies is simply non-sensical and I won't address it further. There were also groups of people who would fight alongside the army. These were the militias. The modern day National Guard is best described as weekend army.

Bro, your Billions are weak.

Our Billions are a Million Millions.

They didn't think this law through, did they...

Read the sub description...

Most of the stone crowd are the same crowd that doesn’t trust vaccines and science just so you know…. I’ve know a FEW of them

I have no problem with people using stones etc, if they also use vaccines and science-based treatments too, like the person you're replying to. Placebo is a real phenomenon and if it brings comfort, that's fine. The problems start when such things are used to replace proven vaccines/ treatments etc.

Can we get this title changed to be more accurate? Something like: "shitheads gather in berlin to show support for tyrannical dictator's illegal invasion".

Thousands you say. Was this in Berlin Wisconsin by chance? If this was in Germany then this is kind of clumsy to put on a news sub for American domestic news. It feels just desperate.

Wow, 2000 people could have won a million each instead.

Transparency. As much as it would be nice to win the lottery, all I can think of is all the assholes and deadbeat relatives suddenly rediscovering that I'm a really cool guy and I should hear their business proposals.
