I can't think of any modern day separatist groups that are collaborating like the examples you've given, but, at this point, it wouldn't take much to get a lot of black Americans (with American ancestral lineage that goes back many generations) to permanently relocate out of America. There's been an uptick these past few years of black Americans moving to Africa, particularly Kenya and Ghana. If the Trump administration were to offer black citizens $500k (heck, maybe even $300k), I believe many would take it.
To anyone interested: After confirming with the event organizers that tickets need to be transferred more manually, I've deleted the Tixel listing. The ticket is still available, but you'll have to email me:
Yes. This is still available. I just confirmed with the event organizer that the ticket is transferrable, but they'll need your name to update it. I've sold a Bitcoin Conference ticket this year without this kind of complication and assumed Mining Disrupt would be no different. Anyway, if you want to proceed, you can email here:
Yes. When you screen (the process of being evaluated for suitability for a study) for a study at these places, you're given a document called an "informed consent" that lists possible side effects a subject can experience from a study drug or procedures they'll need to undergo, such as blood draws, EKGs, etc.
Am I nervous about the study I'm doing? Not anymore. I didn't experience any side effects from the dose I took yesterday, which was the first dose of this study (four more to go; dosings are every Friday for this study). Procedure wise, this is a very easy study.
This is what most of my week is going to look like till I get out of here:
Some of these places that conduct clinical trials have an activities coordinator, but I'm not sure if this place does. Every place has a recreation room with tvs. Some places have pool tables, tabletop games, puzzles, books. There's wifi, of course.
I guess fortunately and unfortunately, I'm well suited to doing this for a living. I'm an introvert who keeps to themself for the most part.
The trial I'm in now is for a medication to treat schizophrenia. I don't have this condition. I'm just a healthy body from which to observe any possible side effects. I'm going to be at this facility 24/7 till October.
The screening process for every clinical trial includes an informed consent document. This document goes over the purpose of the trial, the procedures involved for volunteers during in-house stay, the possible side effects observed from previous trials, and the compensation breakdown.
This website lists, state by state, where you can do trials at: https://jalr.org/
The room I'm staying in:
What I have been doing since 2011: volunteering for clinical trials. I just got admitted into a study this morning that will pay me $18,000 for 33 days of my time.
I'm not a content creator, but, like most people, I do share videos via link sharing or embeds in various social media and message board platforms. The speed to which I switch to using this decentralized alternative would depend on:
- How media (video/audio) storage worked. Self hosting? How easy/difficulty would this be? Blossom subscription or subscription to something like Blossom?
- The social media/message board platforms integrating media playback.
Good point.
