not sure what you mean... but no, the tungsten is just a plainmetal with no particular meaning.

Being the most dense metal you think it might be a better representation of the Occult concept of the Earth element than hemetite. But I guess tungsten wasnt well known in antiquity so it never really was associated as such.

I like it because it has a lovely silver-like luster. So it looks nice as a plain band white metal. Plus being one of the hardest metals it keeps its luster pretty much indefinitely. Probably one of my favorite white-metals on looks short of platinum.

@feld Happy to :)

I dont think Trump claiming a miscount was anymore equivalent to inciting a coup than when past presidents have insisted a miscount occurred. I think that logic is far too simplistic.

Now it is fair to say his claims were harmful and reckless. Nothing wrong with holding him accountable for the recklessness of his words. But to go so far as to say it was an orchastrated attempt at creating a coup... now thats hyperbolic in my eyes. Its close, but not quite there.

@TruthSandwich

Has been a pleasure, enjoy your day.

@freepeoplesfreepress @alecui

@feld Nothing, they just have different bands of color in them which I will wear to match my color (tie/shirt) for the day.

I only have a few rings that mean anything:

Freemason ring - self explanatory

Legend of Zelda ring - self explanatory

Silver ring - Occult symbolism for water/moon

Hemetite ring - Occult symbolism for earth

Gold ring - Occult Symbolism for fire/sun

PELE ring - Supposed ring of solomon according to Enochian tradition, gives one control over demons

A few of the rings above have inner band engravings to symbolize their various nature, usually using a loagath.

@TruthSandwich

Nah, I dont see it as an orchastrated and intentional coup intended by Trump... though it was on the brink of becoming one, and he would have likely leveraged it and turned it into one if it had.

@freepeoplesfreepress @alecui

@the_etrain I was just being silly. I t wasnt something I intended to defend :)

@vga256 @rtsoft

Woa woa woa.. seth able... LORD maker!!!!! I grew up obsessed with that game in the BBS days... it was my game! I never even thought about the person who made it, but this is so so cool... I am now a fan of this person!

@freepeoplesfreepress

Calling what happened on the 6th a coup is a bit of a stretch... A huge stretch... Looked more like a riot to me, on instigated by police violence at the time from what I have personally seen, but thats another matter. I am sure if it had turned to Trump's advantage he would have leveraged it and turned it into a coup atleast.

But if we just want to agree Trump is evil and a threat as a president and doesnt care for democracy as long as he is in power.. on that we agree.

@TruthSandwich @alecui

@peterdrake I override == so it returns a string that says "Yes this is equals" or "No this is not equals", but override != to return "Please use the == operator instead thanks"... I amt he helpful programmer :)

@the_etrain

True, it isnt famous people that are better and smarter, its the rich people.... ::ducks::

@TruthSandwich @freepeoplesfreepress @alecui

Ok sure... what it proves is that third parties will and do break in, and usually do so abruptly going from <2% support to over 51% support in a single election cycle... Ergo any argument of "you shouldnt vote for the third party because it cant win" based on this "law" is nonsense...

@freepeoplesfreepress @TruthSandwich @alecui

> At this particular juncture in time third parties lack adequate and sufficient political organization and economic financial strength to compete with the Democrat and Republican Parties.

Almost every single time historically that a third party was able to take over this statement appeared to be true.

The truth is Duveger's law has some relevance, but not in the way people think. It means that until a third party has majority support it will remain at <2% in elections. Once it gainst traction you will see it flip in a single election cycle from 2% to 51+%, just as has happened every time. This sudden jump, rather than a gradual chance, is the effects of the law at play. Ya see the law doesnt mean a two party system, it just means the transitions will manifest in votes abruptly rather than gradually.

This means it will always look like they "dont have the strength" right before they win, thats the nature of the dynamic. That is also why we shouldnt let it decide our vote.

Bought more rings today (going to match them with my tie color). Here are all my rings in one place.

@TruthSandwich

Correct, what i showed disproved Duverger's law by counter-example. So how long ago it happened is irrelevant to that end.

As to why we havent seen a switch in the last 100 years is simple... because people bought the lie about a two-party system that was used to ensure evil remained in power, and now we have schmucks like you who want to do good but instead do evil because they bought into it (along with most americans).

It will only be true for so long as you buy the lie.

@freepeoplesfreepress @alecui

@icedquinn That would hardly surprise me if it did happen. I'm not familiar with it... But given how Biden grabs women inappropriately and the dems generally dismiss it, the pattern is clear.

@icedquinn

Well when it falls along political lines most things do wind up being a double standard... thats nothing new. Just look at how Biden inappropriately touched women, and that man is getting voted into office.

@TruthSandwich

So then ask Icedqueen if thats what he meant... What I meant I said, and at no point did I say anything about biden when i did so.
