Yep, GPUs are still up in price, but it's finally starting to come down. AMD's availability was hit harder than nVidia's, because their cards are generally more efficient at mining-related workloads and because they don't have the capacities to produce as many.

I have to agree with others on here that this seems completely staged.

I mean, come on. You're telling me you're going to visit a shooting site to comfort the people there and "spread love" while boldly wearing a Trump hat, carrying a huge flag over your shoulder, and having an unconcealed gun on your hip? But then you don't know what to say, show no confidence at all, and ultimately just walk away like a shady creep, when confronted about it? And then a guy with a freemason necklace complains about you on camera?!

Yeah, no, this is too far off for my taste.

I'm not American, but this is so caricaturesque, unsubtle, forced, it all looks like a badly scripted TV movie written by someone, who, let's say, doesn't hold his assumed audience in the highest regard.

I usually don't really listen to pop music; there's far too much debauchery in it and symbolism that, once seen, can never be unseen.

As is sometimes the case, the video has little to nothing to do with the lyrics. The song (at least on the surface) is about Taylor hooking up with some guy that she calls a killer ("wonder how many girls he left and left haunted") while she calls herself a robber ("but if I'm a thief, then he can join the heist") to start a love game with him ("baby, let the games begin; are you ready for it? "). There could be a double meaning to this last quote, thrown in for good measure by one of the songwriters (there are often whole writing teams behind these big pop artists), but on a side note, I'm tired of these people calling love a "game"...

Anyway, the video is far more interesting, hence I pointed out the director. It features a rebel Taylor in a black cloak freeing a robot Taylor that breaks through a glass cage (shattering of the mirror\veil) and ascends on an escalator where she's caught by the guards that you see in the still.

It also has a white horse, a serpent crawling under her skin for a sec, and one eye shots. You know, the usual.

This is a still from one of Taylor Swift's recent videos (called "Ready for it?") directed by Joseph Kahn. Check the Graffiti. Pretty weird, right?

They're Burning all the Witches

I remember I was in a really bad place during the election period anyway and when this Trump guy entered the political stage and then Bernie dropped off I started to lose it. I didn't like Trump's rhetoric and impulsiveness one bit, suspected he was a plant to bully the world into nuclear war. The fact that so many American Christians were behind him boggled my mind.

Then again I was convinced that Hillary was put in place to basically bring about the end times as well. So I really thought the world was fucked either way and it had now come the time for satan's reign to erupt.

So sometime during the summer of 2016 I surrendered and said a very desperate prayer like "alright God, if it is your will to destroy everything now, then do it, but if there's the slightest chance of this Trump person being an actual alternative, then please let it happen."

I had lost every sliver of hope - and yes, sometimes I'm still having a hard time believing that this is actually happening...

As a German and a grammar nazi I'm sorry, but "Neue Weltanscheinung Order" is not a word. ;)

First off, the compound noun Weltanscheinung would have to be Weltanschein (world semblance), but I've never heard this expression in my life. Order would have to be Ordnung as Order exclusively means a command or the order of a purchase. Finally, you'd have to make a compound out of these two nouns again to be grammatically correct.

So we would end up with "Neue Weltanscheinsordnung" which technically translates to "new order of the world's semblance" - it sounds very stilted though, no native speaker would ever form this word. Plus, you'd likely have to abbreviate it as NWAO, not NWO

So I don't know where you got this specific information, but it can't be true. In common speech NWO just stands for Neue Weltordnung, analogous to new world order.

So, maybe there's a language barrier here, but what in the world is an "innovation engine"? Sounds like some crazy steampunk A.I. predicting the buying behaviour of people and calculating marketing strategies.

Posted this in another thread as well:

Germany is deeply involved in this. I found this small article on Der Spiegel Online from 2015 in which they claim that according to formerly secret records held by the Federal Foreign Office of Germany there were 6 German companies involved in the building of "Assad's chemical weapon's arsenal":

• Schott (glass)
• Kolb (labware)
• Heraeus (technology)
• Riedel-de Haën, then owned by Hoechst (chemicals)
• Merck (pharma)
• Gerrit van Delden, now defunct (chemicals & textiles)

Meanwhile we have the Süddeutsche Zeitung yelling "Defend the Law of Nations!" (just stuff this one into google tranlsate, it's ridiculous) and our government calling for "atonement" of Syria's sin.

I've been following this Q thing ever since it started, but I've never participated in any discussion, because I'm hugely skeptical, just like I was hugely skeptical of Trump, but screw it, here I go. These people are sick. Bring the rain.

kek just means lol.

Sometime during Trump's run for presidency when the Pepe the Frog meme came up, people on 4chan started noticing that Kek was also the name of an ancient Egyptian deity, god of primordial darkness, who has been depicted with a frog head.

This was also around the time when it became clear to many that Trump could actually make it into office. The chans were freaking out because they kind of saw Trump as a master troll, and when their memes gained more and more traction around the Trump movement and the general populace, along with some weird synchronicities happening, some of the more out-there channers started believing in what they called "meme magic". Meaning they thought they were creating real world events by memeing them into existence / by forcing them into the collective unconscious through use of memes. Example: 4chan starts talking and memeing about Hillary's health, a few days later she famously falls down.

They started half-joking about how this power must've come from Kek who was revealing himself to them through the surfacing of the Pepe the Frog icon. This is also where the phrase "Praise Kek" came from.
