What causes broken links with PB when hovering?
When trying to catch up on past breads, it's common to run into links that are broken when hovering (like here)
Two problems:
a - the broken link
b - the lack of verbal description (so we don't even know if it's worth chasing after)
Suggestion: always include some kind of description
(But what causes the problem in the first place, can it be avoided?)
Other anon is right, I test it; visiting the bread does not help
How long is "eventually"?
Check out these 3 links from PB, they don't work for me:
>>4086789 FB & Instagram suffer another outage.
>>4086294 Swiss plans to block EU trading of Swiss shares.
>>4086223 Comey trying to stall closed door hearing.
On being careful who we follow:
First, there's more than one way to be careful. If a site is malicious, it's obvious we should stay away. That said, I've now been "warned off" a number of conservative sites that somebody thinks are dangerous because of their ideas, not because they have malware.
Second, as a digger, I need to be able to follow a wide variety of leads to track down information. Some are more trustworthy that others, and it's up to me to carefully evaluate the worth of a given data set based on past experience, the judgement of others, whether the source cited is dependable in a SPECIFIC area, and whether I can cross-verify the source. This is the essence of the scientific method as those who are trained in that method will understand.
Translation: Don't be paranoid, check it out yourself!
Third, it's indeed important to be discerning. Recently an anon innocently asked me to check out a doc that I discovered came from a satanic site (saianarchy.com), which led to another similar source (sorry don't have the name). Both felt "icky" and I said to the anon I would not follow such a source. (Even tho satanists are probably very knowledgeable about certain things, there's usually a psychic hook; not worth it.)
My conclusion: Be open but careful, don't assume before checking something out, develop discernment as informed by gut instinct.
They are the cmte that was chasing down Assange to testify in August, not for charitable reasons tho
Pithy, Kek!

No backing on the chairs; only for young meditators, I guess
Painting does not induce a contemplative state….
I think I'll stick with my old fashioned meditation space
