aperfectillusion This is actually a real economic concept called the "velocity of money". Let's say you get paid $10, you use that $10 to buy lunch from a street vendor, then the street vendor uses that $10 to take a taxi home, then the taxi driver used that $10 to pay his babysitter, next the babysitter uses that $10 to buy groceries, etc. That one $10 bill produced $50 of economic value. This is really good for the economy and why it's bad to give rich people more and more money because all rich people do is horde it. They don't stimulate the economy multiple times over with it.

So, at my church, one large wing of the building is dedicated to childcare. I don't have any kids, but I'm sure they do a great job. They seem very dedicated.

But anyway, I can't help but smirk a little every time I glance that way, because there's a large label above the door on the lower level that says "BIRTH-KINDER" (the upstairs door says "GRADES 1-6").

So, I have a little mental dialogue that goes something like this:

CHILD: "Daddy, where do children come from?"
FATHER: "From the BIRTH-KINDER, of course. Your mother and I ordered you online and picked you up once the BIRTH-KINDER instrument had manufactured you."

Sorry, just a random glimpse into my gently-twisted mind. XD

P.S., You may need to know a teeeeensy amount of #German to get the joke.

Oh! It just means that that entrance is for kids from "birth" to "kindergarten," or 0-5 years old.

Mute Hash Tags?

Is there a way to mute or block hashtags in Friendica?
If someone I follow (occasionally) posts a lot of items with a hashtag I am not interested in, but I still want to see what other things they are saying, can I get friendica to mute or block specific hashtags?

A man wrote a letter to a small hotel in a town he planned to visit on his holiday. He wrote: | would very much like to bring my dog with me. He is well-groomed and very well behaved. Would you be willing to permit me to keep him in my room with me at night?" An immediate reply came from the hotel owner, who wrote: SIR: "I've been operating this hotel for many years. In all that time, I've never had a dog steal towels, bedclothes, silverware or pictures off the walls. I've never had to evict a dog in the middle of the night for being drunk and disorderly. And I've never had a dog run out on a hotel bill. Yes, indeed, your dog is welcome at my hotel. And, if your dog will vouch for you, you're welcome to stay here, too."

Tonight's EFL Championship game between Preston North end and Swansea city is our home game for the Remembrance week, it was made more poignant hearing all the bonfire night fireworks going off while The Last Post was being sounded, like shells and bullets!

Is there a way on #Friendica to block certain hashtags, e.g. if I found too many posts about #choons, is there a way to block only those posts that have that hashtag?

I've just sent another letter to my local MP, to which I will not receive a reply as he has not replied to the last few emails that I have sent!

Subject: Rachel Reeves

Dear MP,

As we are usually told, ignorance of the law is no defence!
We saw that Angela Rayner who took advice about her house purchase had to resign because the advice she was given, which she had asked for, was incorrect!
Yet the chancellor, who proudly boasted about bringing laws in that require landlords to get licences from local councils to protect tenants, did not know that the house that she was letting was covered by such a requirement.
Why is she not resigning or being required to resign?
Is it because one was not a right wing Labour MP and the other was?

Yours Sincerely

John

What a good evening we have had, celebrating my wife's 70th birthday at a local restaurant, with my son and daughter, their partners and our grandchildren!
My 75th and our 50th wedding anniversary next year, think we need to start saving three years ago!

NHS App problems?
has the way you logon to the NHS app changed?
My wife's hasn't, but mine has!
NHS app now tells me I should use Chrome browser (haven't used that for years) then asks me to prove I'm human by choosing set of pictures!
I don't update android apps from the Google playstore where the app won't upload, but from the Aurora app store, and I wonder if this is "The Do Evil Corp" trying to make everyone use them.

Just watched a UFC fight and the fight was stopped due "accidental injury"the challenger poking his opponent in both eyes!
Looked at the slow mo playback and it was definitely not accidental!
Match to be rescheduled, not the offender penalised!

When I was young, it was always a turnip lantern at this time of year.
Back then the UK wasn't so Americanised.
The wonderful smell as the candle flame catches the inside is lovely.

A traditional turnip lantern. Hollowed out inside and with an sgry face, soft candle light shine out

@HarriettMB we always wanted sweets but enjoyed dookin’ for apples too, although who wants half a dozen apples with teeth marks in the fruit ball in November 🤣. Very occasionally someone went to the effort of pancakes (dropped scones) on string. I don’t think I ever ate any of the monkey nuts I got though.

Hey everyone,

@baraaelmoghrabi’s mom needs your help:

“My mother has been suffering from chronic diabetes, and some time ago, one of her toes had to be amputated. During the war, her condition has worsened, and she now relies on a walker to move. 💔
Today, she fell inside our tent, and her foot got injured again – it’s swollen and bruised badly. She urgently needs medication, hospital care, and proper attention.
Please, we need your support now more than ever. Every contribution helps me take care of her.”

This is her fundraiser:

chuffed.org/project/148804-hel…

Please help if you can and share so others can do the same.

Thank you!

💕
