I was looking around on Rumble just now and saw this..... I really don't care about #Hollywood UNLESS it's on fire..... BUT It made me think of my younger "Dungeons and Dragons" days..... The ONLY "Guild" I've ever heard of was the "Thieves Guild" of D&D So I decided to look up the etymology of the word guild (n.) also gild, early 13c., yilde (spelling later influenced by Old Norse gildi "guild, brotherhood"), a semantic fusion of Old English gegield "guild, brotherhood," and gield "service, offering; payment, tribute; compensation," from Proto-Germanic *geldja- "payment, contribution" (source also of Old Frisian geld "money," Old Saxon geld "payment, sacrifice, reward," Old High German gelt "payment, tribute;" see yield (v.)). The connecting sense is of a contribution or payment to join a protective or trade society. But some look to the alternative prehistoric sense of "sacrifice," as if in worship, and see the word as meaning a combination for religious purposes, either Christian or pagan. The Anglo-Saxon guilds had a strong religious component; they were burial societies that paid for Masses for the souls of deceased members as well as paying fines in cases of justified crime. The earliest reference was to sacred banquets (Tacit: Germania 21-2) for which a contribution had to be paid, and which furthermore accounts for the meaning 'fraternity' of the formation *geldja-. In medieval times the economically oriented fraternities, the guilds, adopted this word, but it could still be used in reference to religious fraternities .... The contribution to the banquets, *gelda-, acquired a legal meaning 'recompense', but also the meaning 'money, currency' in general. [Dirk Boutkan, "Old Frisian Etymological Dictionary"] Continental guilds of merchants, incorporated in each town or city and holding exclusive rights of doing business there, arrived after the Conquest. In many cases they became the governing body of a town (compare Guildhall, which came to be the London city hall). Trade guilds arose 14c., as craftsmen united to protect their common interest. also from early 13c. Entries linking to guild yield (v.) Old English gieldan (West Saxon), geldan (Anglian) "to pay, pay for; reward, render; worship, serve, sacrifice to" (class III strong verb; past tense geald, past participle golden), from Proto-Germanic *geldan "pay" (source also of Old Saxon geldan "to be worth," Old Norse gjaldo "to repay, return," Middle Dutch ghelden, Dutch gelden "to cost, be worth, concern," Old High German geltan, German gelten "to be worth," Gothic fra-gildan "to repay, requite"). This is from PIE *gheldh- "to pay," a root found only in Balto-Slavic and Germanic (and Old Church Slavonic žledo, Lithuanian geliuoti might be Germanic loan-words). "[T]he only generally surviving senses on the Continent are 'to be worth; to be valid, to concern, apply to,' which are not represented at all in the English word" [OED]; sense development in English comes via use of this word to translate Latin reddere, French rendre. Sense of "give in return for labor or capital invested" is from early 14c. Intransitive sense of "give oneself up, submit, surrender (to a foe)" is from c. 1300. Related to Middle Low German and Middle Dutch gelt, Dutch geld, German Geld "money." Related: Yielded; yielding. I'm going to say these "guilds" require something more than money! That's just an opinion mind you, but an educated opinion! https://rumble.com/v30knqm-live-hollywood-completely-shut-down-worker-power-surges.html

I just spent the last few hours reading up on how to predict weather from a rather bright meteorologist. Downloaded his entire course and started to thumb through the video. It was all great until I got to the last 5-10 chapters and found a whole disseration on global warming and climate change. The whole whack job disseration, made by a professional in the field. This man who had gone to college to gain certification had all of the data that the college had to offer him but not the common sense to understand that: The Earth is made up of massive levels of carbon and carbon dioxide and it has never had a problem with it in the millions of years leading up to this point. Duh! Some serious Darwin Award level stuff here. The reason I bring it up is something I found out years ago when living in Northern California. At the time I was working as a computer / network technician in Humboldt County and had a room mate who was a coder and the main administrator for the main ISP of the area. He was genius level smart when it came to these things. Here is the rub though. One day he bought a mountain bicycle to ride around Arcata and the local area. He took it out one day and it started to malfunction. He turned it over on its handlebars to look at it and me being an ex Diesel Technician I decided to help him out. Really it was just a bicycle. So I walk up behind him and he is growling andcursing under his breath and carrying on angry. I looked over his shoulder and found to my amazement that...... HE COULDNT USE A SCREWDRIVER! Literally this genius level person had no idea how to use a screwdriver! Something a retarded child coud figure out with no help without introduction really. That really, even now, floors me. Just keep that in mind. Intellect does not equal intelligence. In most cases it is better to be an adequite generalist than a prodigy for a specific niche. At least for overall living and survival at least. The one this I learned, being both a computer/it and diesel/automotive technician is that you dont need to memorize everything about something to be fantastic at the pursuit. Overall you just need to know the fundamentals of something. Troubleshooting. The rest can always be looked up. In this day and age of on-demand information there is no reason why you cant rely on someone elses genius to suppliment your own. Learn the basics. Learn to troubleshoot. Learn to research. The rest is easy. And that is the wisdom of the Great Lord Sweat for today.

Best Anti-BLM/Antifa Mob weapon available for the buck. As is the dry chemical fire retardant will put up a more than adequite smoke screen that will deter the vision of said mob, dry out the eyes, choke the lungs and generally will bring a mob to a standstill as is with the as is $30 unit. Now, lets also check out the irony factor as well. So with 20-30 bucks you can have two major anti-mob weapons. Kick ass. Number three you can also make a do it yourself pure capsaicin unit as well. Much more effect I've than normal pepper-spray. You can get pure Capsaicin from Ebay which is at least 3 times as painful. Don't worry about the legalities because really when it comes down to it, you are either legal or dead. Its kinda like worrying about military bullets not causing undue pain and suffering. Screw that noise. Fuck the those Estrogen fuelled dipshits.

WISE WEEPING TEARS are not always fruitful; their hot drops Sometimes but scorch the cheek and dim the eye; Despairing murmurs over blackened hopes, Not the meek spirit’s calm and chastened cry. Oh, better not to weep than weep amiss; For hard it is to learn to weep aright,— To weep wise tears, the tears that heal and bless, The tears which their own bitterness requite. Oh, better not to grieve than waste our woe, To fling away the spirit’s finest gold; To lose, not gain, by sorrow; to o’erflow The sacred channels which true sadness hold. To shed our tears as trees their blossoms shed, Not all at random, but to make sure way For fruit in season, when the bloom lies dead On the chill earth, the victim of decay: This is to use the grief that God has sent, To read the lesson, and to learn the love, To sound the depths of saddest chastisement, To pluck on earth the fruit of realms above. Weep not too fondly, lest the cherished grief Should into vain, self-pitying weakness turn; Weep not too long, but seek divine relief; Weep not too fiercely, lest the fierceness burn. Husband your tears; if lavished, they become Like waters that inundate and destroy; For active self-denying days leave room, So shall you sow in tears and reap in joy. It is not tears but teaching we should seek; The tears we need are genial as the shower; They mold the being while they stain the cheek, Freshening the spirit into life and power. Move on, and murmur not, a warrior thou; Is this a day for idle tears and sighs? Buckle thine armor, grasp thy sword and bow, Fight the good fight of faith, and win the prize. Horatius Bonar, Hymns of Faith and Hope: Second Series, (London: J. Nisbet & Co., 1886), 138–140.
