Information about censorship in South Korea and discussions about privacy technologies (VPN, Tor, I2P, etc.) are the main topics.

Can you give us a bit of info about what sort of content you'd like to see on a Korea forum, and the general scope? It'll help describe the forum in the sidebar if we decide to add it. Thanks.

I2P 2.7.0 has also been released.

Access to information from the console and applications has been improved. Issues have been fixed in I2PSnark and SusiMail search. The netDB search embedded into the router console now operates in a more intuitive and useful way. Minor improvements have been made to diagnostic displays in advanced mode. [...]

From: wikiless.i2p/wiki/Joseph_Mercola0

Mercola's medical claims have been criticized by the medical, scientific, regulatory, and business communities. A 2006 BusinessWeek editorial stated his marketing practices relied on "slick promotion, clever use of information, and scare tactics". In 2005, 2006, 2011, and 2021 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned Mercola and his company that they were making illegal claims for their products' ability to detect, prevent, and treat disease.

Quackwatch has criticized Mercola for making "unsubstantiated claims [that] clash with those of leading medical and public health organizations and many unsubstantiated recommendations for dietary supplements". Of Mercola's marketing techniques, surgical oncologist David Gorski says it "mixes the boring, sensible health advice with pseudoscientific advice in such a way that it's hard for someone without a medical background to figure out which is which".

When my grandfather "died" after a heart attack, he ended up seeing a door with light coming from under it, and he saw himself floating above himself. He was resuscitated and went on to live for two more decades.

My personal belief is that we will all stand in Judgement before our Creator and have to give an account for every action (whether right or wrong) that we have committed. We will receive an eternal reward or an eternal punishment; those who did only good in their lives will go to Heaven, and those who have done any wrong will burn in Hell for eternity.

Is there an afterlife? That is a matter of faith.

Another thought outside religion: Based on what we can observe, I've been comforted in loss by the realization we never are truly gone.

Our physical form, continues to change (always has). Death always becomes (or "feeds into") new life. But we are never really "gone".

We can even observe this, the way meat content changes composition, based on an animal's diet (grass finished vs corn fed, omega6 vs omega3 fatty acids).

The circle of life, a continuum of cycles, within cycles. All of us. Everything being connected in that way.

Our life continues to shape / influence others - another way we still exist, our influence shaping new generations, behavior, genes.

And they pass this on, and so on.

Nothing, and no one, is really ever gone in that way. We continually change form.

Might not be what anyone is looking to hear. But it's one way to look at existence.

"tasteful decomposition" is my belief. get me naked, put me in a wheelbarrow, do your last goodbyes or whatever and dump me in the ocean. if the dolphins have their way with me after that's their business. i feel like the whole funeral business thing is fucking wasteful and pointlessly expensive, the grieving get taken advantage of. it's nice to go visit a grave and all afterwards, but if i get dumped in the ocean somewhere you can make a fun day of it.
