The Pine Tree Flag (or the An Appeal to Heaven Flag) was one of the flags used during the American Revolution. The flag, which featured a pine tree with the motto "An Appeal to Heaven", or less frequently "An Appeal to God", was used by a squadron of six schooners commissioned under George Washington's authority as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army beginning in October 1775.Timestamps* 00:00 intro * 01:00 trumps crimes * 02:09 my accent* 02:24 the next shadow campaign? * 04:19 conservative protests * 10:41 Rich conservative shills * 12:35 when Q-anon fell apart* 15:15 be prepared for disappointment* 18:15 reasons why conservatives might lose in 2024* 22:45 too many conservatives are willing to walk away from our Christian Roots* 25:44 appeal to heaven* 29:50 judgment comes to the house of GodThe pine tree is a traditional symbol of New England.

He's a member of our family and we're trying as hard as we can, but having to rely on other people to get us there has been difficult for the entire family. It's been especially hard for me because I have not been very honest about the truth state of our economy, and instead have taken all of the weight of the failure of our photography business head on. This podcast deals with some of the struggles we've had this year, and I'm pretty honest about the perspective that I'm trying to work through.I chose the name indignity because that's what it feels like wrestling with the reality of not being able to provide by doing things that I'm seeing other people do, while also realizing I'm not the man who will be able to make these things work.

Before we can really solve the problem that we're in, it's important to try to figure out how we got here and why we use the internet in the first place.Why we do things:3 reasons to do something1) entertainment/relaxation2) performance/ego3) financial gain/survival I boil everything down to these three factors. They're the underlying reasons for why we do/maintain certain endeavors, and the things that we do on the Internet is no different. But I don't think that those are the reasons that ruined the internet, because these are things that apply to everyday Life as well. Not just the internet. Ex1) gaming 2) karaoke 3) going to the gym 4) hobbies 5) organizing things These are just examples of things that can be done without the internet, and can subsequently be enhanced by the internet in some way through marketing. =====================================================Ultimately it's my opinion that marketers ruined the internet. It was marketers that sought to monetize communal spaces and fun activities online. It was marketers that set the standards and the expectations by lying to us about metrics that were unattainable. It was marketers that sold the stories about how people who were brought in through nepotism were actually everyday boys and girls who somehow blew up on the internet. It was marketers who actually opened the door for everyday boys and girls so that they could blow up on the internet, then they turned around and sold us the story about how it could happen to us. But marketers were doing these things way before the internet. It's called advertising, and that's what marketers do. They sold us out. ======≠======Endeavors need structure in order to survive. A lot of times people put things together for performance reasons without fully committing to the necessary structure that is needed to keep that activity operational If you don't enjoy structure then you won't enjoy financial or performance endeavors.This is an issue that we see within different areas of life all the time. The example you gave was podcasting with your friends. Perhaps what you enjoyed was hanging out with your friends and relaxing, but it somehow got misconstrued as a performance activity. Then when it came time to apply the structure, you didn't enjoy that. The same thing also happens with churches. People try to separate Christianity from the religion of Christianity, because they enjoy the relationship that comes with god, but they dislike the structure that is also required for the saints. It's disheartening to some people in the church when they find out that Christ elevates both the structure and the standards for relationship over time, so they don't want to do the work anymore. I think online Fame has a lot to do with structure as well. But it is a blended activity. You can't do it with simply structure. I know a lot of people who have really good structure, really good presentations, consistent schedules, and plans for everything, but the product sucks. And then you have people who put stuff out whenever they feel like it and they blow up because they're structured in other areas of their lives. ====≠========The anxiety and isolation are by-products of the marketing of the internet. Initially the internet was meant to be enjoyed with friends and in online communities. It was supposed to be a proxy of the already existing communities that we had in real life. I like to use live journal as an example, or Myspace. Those two platforms were all about sharing extensions of your life with the people that you already knew. But when Facebook came along, things got much more sterile and scientific, and they slowly over time started to isolate us and turn us against each other through algorithms and other tools. There is a lot of psychological warfare that happens in social media spaces that people are unaware of. 1) algorithms 2) bots3) sectioned servers 4) manipulation of data 5) censorship and Shadow banning 6) psyops 7) ragebait==============Solutions Report real lifeUse the internet as a proxy for what you're already doing in life, not as a source of life. Use it to connect with people that you already know, and have verified humanity. These are friends that you can jump on the phone with it anytime, but sometimes it's just easier to send an email or post on the timeline. That's okay Be genuine. Be yourself. Be honest. The more you think and act like marketers the more you will become like the marketers, who are inherently liars in their car. They have no truth in them. Only manipulation. People will like you for who you are or they will dislike you for the same reasons. You are the thing that splits the herd. So be okay with that. Decide who your audience is. I told this to my son when he did his first podcast. I told him not to think of a group of people he wants to reach, but rather think of a specific person he wants to reach. Record your podcast as if you're talking directly to that person, understanding that's

This podcast was written, scripted, and performed by my 12 year old son. I am prod of him for taking on this project and pushing through his fear to do this! Send him some encouragement in the comments.Welcome to the ZR Link Podcast.I'm your host, The Lost Woodz (with a Z). We are going to talk about Scarlet and Violet.I beat Violet and the DLC for it.And I decided that I could play Scarlet and buy the DLC later.But the real reason I was going to play Scarlet was because I needed Walking Wake for my Pokédex.But I just got him in the Pokemon Home (In the GTS).For Sogoleo.And the walking lake was level 100.And it was Chinese.So now I can get Iron Leaves.That's all I had to say.Thanks for listening.And let me know how my first podcast was.So I can do better next time.Bye.

Belonging to community is a source of strength for other Christians. But there are challenges with belonging to a community when things are done poorly, or certain details get ignored. Be it a matter of interpretation, or intentionality, it seems like there's always people that are bound to fall through the cracks. This is a public episode.

With Easter coming up, and as we celebrate the resurrection of Christ, I find my thoughts shifting to areas that I haven't found myself focusing on in years past. As I grow as a Christian and as I'm mature in the faith, I find myself developing parts of my faith in challenging ways. I hope you don't mind me sharing with you this year. This is a public episode.
