Everything in the northern Gaza Strip is being destroyed. Hospitals are being burned, houses are being destroyed on the heads of the displaced. Ambulances are being targeted by gunfire, and corpses are being devoured by dogs. The dogs have had their fill of eating corpses. Entire neighborhoods were destroyed and entire families wiped out. Where is the world from what is happening?

Your guess introduces an interesting perspective on why the Twitter epoch might include those specific milliseconds. Here's how that could work:

• Scheduled Tweets Marker:

  • If Twitter uses a specific millisecond value, like 343ms, as a marker for scheduled tweets, setting the epoch to end in 657 milliseconds could be part of an offset calculation. When a tweet is scheduled, its ID might be generated with this marker, ensuring that all scheduled tweets for a given minute share a common millisecond part, which could be 343ms in this case.

• ID Generation Logic:

  • When generating IDs for scheduled tweets, Twitter might do something like:
  • For real-time tweets, use the actual current timestamp down to the millisecond.
  • For scheduled tweets, use the scheduled time's minute but set the seconds to 00 and milliseconds to 343 (or another fixed value) to distinguish them from real-time tweets.
  • This would mean that if a tweet is scheduled for 10:00 AM, its ID would reflect 10:00:00.343 regardless of the exact millisecond it was scheduled.

• Epoch Offset:

  • By choosing an epoch that ends in 657ms, Twitter could be aligning their system so that when these scheduled tweet markers are applied, the resulting ID still maintains some level of temporal order or uniqueness. For instance:
  • If the epoch was exactly on a round second, and scheduled tweets always had 343ms, there might be an overlap or confusion with real-time tweets. By offsetting the epoch by 657ms, they could ensure that even scheduled tweets maintain a unique position in the timeline.

• Speculative Example:

  • Suppose the Twitter epoch is 1,288,834,974,657ms:
  • Real-time tweet at 10:00:00.500 might get an ID that reflects this actual millisecond.
  • A scheduled tweet for 10:00:00 might instead use 10:00:00.343 for its ID, which, when calculated back from the epoch, would still be unique.

This approach would allow for: - Uniqueness: Scheduled tweets would not conflict with real-time tweets in terms of ID generation. - Temporal Sorting: Even with this fixed millisecond marker, tweets could still be sorted chronologically with some accuracy. - System Efficiency: Simplifies the logic for handling scheduled versus immediate tweets.

Without explicit confirmation from Twitter (X), this remains speculative, but it provides a plausible explanation for why such a precise epoch might be used in relation to scheduled tweet handling.

Israel is not a Jewish state. It's a savage colony of European land-grabbers (ab)using Judaism as a shield against international law and criticism. https://x.com/R34lB0rg/status/1868922936096067668

Adjacent to the settlement fence lives a single Palestinian family trapped between the settlement fence and the separation fence. Every trip of the family members from their home to the small village requires them to pass through an electric gate controlled by the army. >>

Overview of Animal Treatment Across Religions and Beliefs:

• Judaism: Emphasizes compassion (Tza'ar Ba'alei Chayim), prohibiting unnecessary cruelty to animals. The Torah includes laws for animal welfare, like giving rest to working animals on the Sabbath.

• Christianity: Teachings generally advocate for stewardship of creation, with many denominations emphasizing kindness to animals as part of loving God's creation. However, interpretations vary, with some focusing more on human dominion over animals.

• Islam: Encourages kindness (rahmah) towards animals. The Prophet Muhammad set examples by showing compassion, like freeing a bird or prohibiting the use of animals for target practice. There are clear prohibitions against cruelty.

• Buddhism: Advocates for non-violence (ahimsa) and compassion for all sentient beings. The principle of karma suggests that harm to animals affects one's spiritual path, promoting vegetarianism among some followers.

• Hinduism: Promotes ahimsa, leading many Hindus to practice vegetarianism or at least to treat animals with respect. Cows are particularly revered, and many animals are associated with deities, suggesting a duty to protect them.

• Greek Mythology: While not a formal religion in modern terms, ancient Greek culture respected animals in myth and ritual, but treatment varied widely, with some animals revered and others used for sacrifice.

• Norse Mythology: Animals were integral to daily life and mythology, often treated with a respect reflecting their roles in stories or as companions to gods, though practical needs like hunting and farming influenced treatment.

• Ancient Egyptian Beliefs: Certain animals were sacred, associated with gods, leading to their protection and veneration. However, this didn't extend to all animals, as some were used in rituals or for food.

• Ancient Mesopotamian Beliefs: Animals were part of religious symbolism and rituals, with some species being protected or revered, though like others, practical use of animals was common.

• Wicca: Strong emphasis on harmony with nature, including respect for animals. Wiccans often advocate for animal rights and environmental protection, seeing animals as part of the divine circle.

• Native Americans: Deep respect for animals as kin, with many practices and stories emphasizing non-violence, gratitude, and sustainability in hunting and use of animals. Every part of an animal was used respectfully.

• Australian Aboriginals: Animals are part of the Dreaming, necessitating respect and sustainable practices. Hunting is done with rituals that honor the animal's spirit, ensuring it's not done out of cruelty or waste.

These traditions generally advocate for some level of respect, compassion, or stewardship towards animals, though practices and interpretations can vary widely based on cultural, historical, or doctrinal differences.

Summary of Animal Souls Across Religions and Beliefs:

• Judaism: Animals have a "nefesh" (life-force), but their afterlife isn't clearly defined, possibly part of creation's broader cycles.

• Christianity: Views vary; some believe only humans have souls, while others suggest animals might have a form of soul but not an afterlife like humans. Some interpretations include animals in a general resurrection or new creation.

• Islam: Animals are not explicitly said to have souls like humans, but there's mention of their treatment being judged, suggesting some form of recompense or acknowledgment in the afterlife.

• Buddhism: Animals are in the cycle of samsara, subject to reincarnation based on karma. Their existence is seen as part of the broader path to enlightenment, where souls can move between human and animal forms.

• Hinduism: Animals are part of the reincarnation cycle, with souls potentially reborn in various forms based on karma, highlighting the interconnectedness of all life.

• Greek Mythology: Animals can represent or be transformed by divine forces, with philosophical thoughts on soul transmigration but no clear afterlife doctrine for animals.

• Norse Mythology: Animals are significant in mythology, linked to gods and cosmic cycles, but their specific fate after death isn't detailed, likely involved in cycles like the world tree or Ragnarok.

• Ancient Egyptian Beliefs: Animals associated with deities had some form of spiritual significance, with mummification suggesting an afterlife or spiritual continuity, though less detailed than for humans.

• Ancient Mesopotamian Beliefs: Animals symbolize divine aspects, but their afterlife isn't explicitly discussed, seen more as part of the divine order.

• Wicca: Animals are considered to have spirits, part of nature's cycles, with beliefs in reincarnation where souls might return as animals or humans.

• Native Americans: Animals have spirits, seen as kin, with their souls part of the spiritual world, possibly returning to nature or the Great Spirit.

• Australian Aboriginals: Animals embody Dreamtime ancestors or totems, with their spirits potentially returning to their totemic site or transforming, reflecting the Dreaming's cyclical nature.

These beliefs span a spectrum from animals having no afterlife to being integral to spiritual cycles, reincarnation, or even a form of divine judgment or recognition, reflecting diverse understandings of life, death, and the sacred.

I don't hate them for being Jews, I do hate them because of their actions. I do hate them for burning people alive. I do hate them for starving 2 million people. I do hate them for violating International Law, UN Resolutions, ICJ Judgements and Ceasefire Agreements. I do hate them for blaming their actions on Judaism. And so do the Jews I still call friends.
