Monster Hunter International by Larry Correia - Audiobook Review #6 - Disco Reads
Author: @discordiant
Curator: @nicnas
This article by the beloved @discordiant is what I call great content. It brings ones own passion into the world of SteemIt and shares this love and knowledge with everyone. My dad loves listening to books on tape (audio books) and I have read my share of fantasy. But there just inst too much time these days.
Thats why this is amazing. Find your self a title that you can listen to while driving or working and enjoy great books. In this article he covers the book Monster Hunter International by Larry Correia and Read by Oliver Wyman. Consider checking out this review and his others.
How Training Became Disguised as Education
Author: @superfluousman
Curator: @Ironshield
While recently browsing some discussions on the topic of education, I have noticed how much time is being spent trying… by superfluousman
What does it mean to become educated? Have we been trained to believe that education means something different than it is? @superfluousman explores what it means to be 'educated' verses being 'trained' within the context of the public education system. You may be surprised to discover his conclusions. Here is an exert from his post:
"Modern educational theorists and administrators have come to this understanding: that not all students are capable of being educated in a mass-scale; yet they could be trained under the purview of being educated."
Natural Photography #58 Her beautiful sky at dusk
Author: @nazarwills
Curator: @nicnas
Some of the most amazing photos I have seen in a while. I love seeing a photo that really pops out. If you want to see something amazing though, try checking these photos out on a UHD monitor or a UDH 4k TV. The colors are so amazing and vibrant, I cannot even explain it.
Exhibition of Russian military equipment
Author: @nikitinskiy
Curator: @nicnas
I do not have the time to go explore Russia, its military and vehicles too much. But it does sound very interesting and like an adventure for sure. This article by @nikitinskiy does it for you and saved me the trip. I love the details along with the photos explaining what they are. An inside look into Russia's military and vehicles.
A Brief History of Counseling and Psychotherapy
Author: @abigail-dantes
Curator: @nicnas
The writing style of @abigail-dantes is superb, enough so that maybe they are really a Counselor? or even a Psychotherapist? But for those crazy people out there, like me, who need to see a shrink but dont. This article may be for you but I doubt you will read it. But in reality it is a good read in that it does break down something that not everyone knows. Are the differences subtle or extreme? Read to find out.
Social Media Censorship Is Here
Author: @johngentry
Curator: @nicnas
This article covers a subject that I think a lot of people know very well of. While I don't use Social Media, other than SteemIt maybe once and a while, it is very clear of the changes that have been taking place over the last few years. When it comes to these platforms being centralized you will never escape these censorship. Why? Because of the idea that these business' are in it for profit and they want to protect them selves.
In this short but to the point piece, @johngentry talks about how censorship is affecting our free speech. He brings up a point on how it is becoming the bitcoin/steem decentralized community vs. the centralized one. We will prevail.

Hey, I had sent 5 SBD over 4 hours ago and haven't received any up vote. Am I missing something?
Here is the link post.

Can you unvote me and refund?

I thought this is some transaction to an exchange or to another voting bot or to the themarkymark account when I saw a transaction paid by buildawhale, so I did not read it till its end.
I did not expect a fully self transaction for voting purposes which almost completely zeroed all the round's bidders.
A user bid on a post that expired. He wanted to have it resubmitted on a post that wasn't expired. The first one was ignored and I placed the same bid in the next window. I explained we are smaller than booster and the bid is larger than our pool and if he wanted to split it up across multiple posts instead. He asked to place it as it was but on a post that hasn't expired. That's what I did. The bid was already made, it was just ignored initially due to the post being past the 6 day 12 hour window.
You can see the original message and transaction here:
