TikTok Simulation Theory: Kids Believe They Live In Simulation
The following is a synopsis of several alleged efforts working against the Deep State. Some of these claims are totally unsubstantiated, a rumor. Others can be verified to some degree, but not with definitive certainty. As always discern carefully so that you don't subscribe to a fool's hope. There are many indications of change happening, the most obvious being that we the people know of these injustices and as such can personally do something about them.
Dutch Banker Ronald Bernard had reached the highest levels of the Illuminati, crashed national economies, bankrupt companies and was an expert at money laundering. As with most involved in international banking, he was involved in a Satanic cult – until while at a party, he was asked to sacrifice a child. It was then he turned into a heroic whistleblower, exposing the dark secrets of our global financial system.
Just prior to his suspicious death Bernard did a series of TV interviews uncovering the Illuminati pyramid of power. He had a simple explanation of how it functioned: "They use child sacrifices to test and blackmail members." Videos of Ronald Bernard banker
It was not surprising that Bernard didn't survive after laying bare the illegal activities of the international banking system. His Satanic group – the Ninth Circle Child Sacrifice Cult – was powerful, complicated, centuries old, based on pedophilia and blackmail for political power, organized by the Vatican and funded by US taxpayer dollars funneled through the CIA, NASA, US Inc, Queen's Bank of London and Vatican Bank to Central Banks across the globe, with activities enforced by various mafias who ran international child exploitation, kidnapping, murder, drug and gun running rings.
President Trump to the rescue. Trump was helping to take it all down by eliminating the Ninth Circle's money flow. Since 1871 the private bankers had owned and controlled US Taxpayer's funds. This month of March was expected to see the serious serving of over 74,000 sealed indictments, Military Tribunals and a US participation in a soon-to-be-implemented Global Currency Reset that would return tax dollars back for use of The People.
Haven't heard about all this? Again, not surprising. The mainstream media has refused to cover anything labeled Illuminati or Satanic – perhaps because their owners were complicit?
And, don't you get tired of the Mainstream Media's negative view of our President? I do, but then perhaps I should understand that with 74,000 indictments about to be unsealed, some of them may just name Trump's critics.
Unlike the Mainstream Media some in Congress weren't afraid to speak the truth. In a Feb. 25 interview on Fox News Congressman Trey Goudy confirmed that Military Tribunals were going on.
Actually President Trump's secret rescue of ourselves from the Ninth Circle all started the morning of his inauguration when the president-elect paid a visit to CIA headquarters. There he declared a war on international Child Sex Trafficking. One of his first official acts as president was to put an Attorney General from Utah, Robert Huber, over 740 investigators, charging them to look into the vast problem.
Since then most of Huber's over 74,000 indictments filed in federal courts across the nation were said to involve pedophilia, with perpetrators ranging from the general population to leaders in the Catholic Church, to Hollywood, to political and global elites (look for articles on Pedogate, Pizzagate, Pedowood). There have been many arrests and convictions, plus a few children rescued – most of which has gone unreported in the Mainstream Media. We really do have a problem there.
Evidently secret trials and tribunals have been going on in federal courts across the nation and at GITMO since Jan. 1. It was estimated that it would take around two years to prosecute the over 74,000 cases. There were so many pending that there wasn't enough personnel to handle it all.
On a global scale Kevin Annett and the International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State (ITCCS) have long been attacking child kidnapping, rape and murder of the Ninth Circle. The ITCCS's protests and trials by the International Common Law Court of Justice in Brussels (ICLCJ) have led to convictions of child kidnapping, rape and homicide against the likes of Queen Elizabeth and Popes Francis and Benedict, as well as other well-know figures known to be involved in the Ninth Circle. Pope Benedict's Feb. 11 2013 conviction by six judges of the ICLCJ court was immediately followed by him stepping down as leader of the Catholic faith. See the history in these articles:http://beforeitsnews.com/contributor/pages/243/590/stories.html
Like I said, the over 74,000 cases ranged from the general population to political elites, to the Catholic Church and on to Hollywood. "The Khazarian mafia pedophile blackmail network was being dismantled" Benjamin Fulford wrote. "First Trump targeted Harvey Weinstein, then Las Vegas casino king Steve Wynn (Weinberg), then CBS titan Les Moonves, and now billionaire New England Patriots owner Bob Kraft, and more. Last week's defrocking of sex predator ex-Cardinal of D.C. Ted McCarrick was likely to be followed by the defrocking of convicted pedophile Cardinal George Pell, former head of the Vatican Bank."
The Vatican was well known for it's sex abuse problems and they weren't about to go away. Nuns were speaking out as the Catholic Church headed for another Sex Abuse Scandal: https://www.sbs.com.au/news/dateline/the-catholic-church-is-headed-for-another-sex-abuse-scandal-as-nunstoo-speak-up
In Hollywood others like Home Alone star Macaulay Culkin were exposing Satanic Hollywood pedophiles. During the Academy Awards Culkin tweeted: "Rami Malex eats babies (Malex won Best Actor for Bohemian Rhapsody). There were 14 secret rapists in that room such as R. Kelly, Adam Levine and Keanu Reeves." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PrXFlocDYU Operation Disclosure Compilations — Macaulay Culkin Exposes Big Names, Pedowood, Such Evil, Unstoppable Truth, Victimizing, Under the Radar, and More
Another regularly exposing pedophilia in Hollywood was a PEDOWOOD Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/PEDOWOOD/
The non-profit ENOUGH.ORG reported that just this past weekend three national news stories broke of well-known figures ensnarled in allegations of criminal sexual behavior:
On Friday, R&B singer R. Kelly was arrested and charged with 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse. The alleged sexual assaults dated back to 1998. Three of the victims were between the ages of 13 and 17 at the time of the alleged crimes.
New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft was formally charged Monday with soliciting prostitution. The bust was part of a larger-scale Florida sex trafficking ring that has led to hundreds of arrest warrants.
The activities of wealthy, politically connected Florida financier Jeffrey Epstein were also back in the spotlight. The news this time revolved around his apparently light sentence after a 2008 plea deal secretly ended a federal sex-abuse investigation involving at least 40 teenage girls.
And the saga continued.

Juno, is NASA's unmanned interplanetary station launched on August 5, 2011 to explore Jupiter, the second project under the New Frontiers program. The spacecraft entered the polar orbit of the gas giant on July 5, 2016. The purpose of the mission was to study the gravitational and magnetic fields of Jupiter, as well as to test the hypothesis that Jupiter has a solid core.
Instruments of the Juno interplanetary probe, which is exploring Jupiter, detected a nearby signal at a frequency of about 6.5 megahertz, which is in the range of high-frequency radio waves. On Earth, they are used for ionospheric communications and over-the-horizon radar, but in Jupiter's orbit, their source is supposedly natural.
Such signals have been known for a long time: they are called decametric radio emission. However, for the first time, a spacecraft recorded them in the immediate vicinity of the place of origin. In fact, the probe flew through the source of the radio burst, near Ganymede, Jupiter's largest moon.
Juno's sensors observed the phenomenon for about five seconds, and then it merged with the background radiation. Given the speed of the probe – about 50 kilometers per second – we can conclude that the area of space where the signal is generated is about 250 kilometers across.
As NASA explains, the found radio emission with a frequency of 10-40 MHz creates a stream of electrons rotating in Jupiter's magnetic field. They generate a radio signal as a result of a process of a certain cyclotron maser instability.
NASA was so terribly interested in this cyclotron instability that the Juno mission was decided to be extended indefinitely, and now the bright adepts are busy building a new ship, the money for which they managed to get in a record short time.
The intrigue is that the conspiracy theorists knew about this radiation back in October 2020, although NASA only spoke about it now. The story began there with the appearance of the following message on one of the network boards:
According to this modest text, it was written as if by a CIA officer who went on the run in the fall of 2020. The reason for this was the cleansing of a team of agents who cleared and hid information about the discovery in orbit of Ganymede of an object similar to an interplanetary space station, created using some advanced technology.
It was opened by the same "Juno", which on June 6, 2020 discovered a strange radio signal, which NASA reports only now. The signal was very powerful and went in a narrow beam, which does not happen in nature, so the satellite was slowed down and at the next revolution turned to look – where is the beam coming from?
The signal came from an object in the form of a torus, inside which a sphere about 1000 feet in diameter was suspended. The sphere was of a substance resembling metal, glowing with a purple light with a green tint, and rotating clockwise. In this case, the torus rotated in the opposite direction. It also looked like the sphere had been damaged by some kind of internal explosion. Nobody had any idea what it was, and it was thought that this was the work of the proto-civilization of the Earth, which was trying to colonize Jupiter. The version of the object's alien origin was also considered.
When people read it in October, everyone laughed merrily. However, when NASA revealed the discovery of something on Ganymede, everyone suddenly realized that the message seemed to be pure truth and therefore now, in order to hush up the information, NASA urgently released its legend of what was happening.

Peruvian judges said the coronavirus pandemic was organized by "authors of a new world order", including Microsoft founder Bill Gates, investment banker George Soros, and members of the Rockefeller family of billionaires. Such a verdict was issued when considering an appeal to extend the detention of a local resident accused of rape.
Judges Tito Gallegos, Luis Legia and Tony Changaray were the authors of the controversial ruling. They explained that the coronavirus pandemic turned out to be force majeure, since no one, except for the "organizers" of the pandemic named by them, could predict its consequences.
"The criminal process was paralyzed due to the COVID-19 pandemic created by the criminal elites, which paralyzed activities in almost all countries … No world government, individuals and legal entities, nor the defense of the accused can claim that this pandemic can be called 'predictable', except for the creators of the new world order, such as Bill Gate, Soros, Rockefeller, etc., who ruled it. They continue to manage it in conditions of extreme secrecy and in global corporations with an eye on the 2030 project," the Pasión por el Derecho edition quotes the text of the resolution.
Representatives of the department, which is responsible for overseeing the work of judges in Peru, have already announced that a review has begun against the authors of the ruling. The RPP publication indicates that it will be clear from its results whether a colleague committed a violation.
In early 2020, against the backdrop of a pandemic, conspiracy theories related to the spread of COVID-19 spread online. According to one version, some world forces (among which Bill Gates, the CIA and the Chinese authorities were mentioned ) specially brought the coronavirus into the laboratory and spread it to put the inhabitants of the planet at home, irradiate them with 5G, and then microchip them.
Gates himself later stated that such theories were "difficult to deny" because they are "too ridiculous."
Meanwhile, the World Health Organization (WHO) believes that the virus was not created artificially – the organization is of the opinion that the infection was transmitted to humans from bats.

The United States is in danger of going to extremes, which after the January 6 events, no one knows what is happening in the country and the uncertainty seems to peak in the next few hours.
There are facts which could show that we are heading for the most dramatic hours the world has experienced since the August 1991 coup in Russia when the communists attempted to return to power and take control of the nuclear arsenal.
First, after an incomprehensible and unexpected blackout in Pakistan, a blackout happened in the Vatican.
A few hours before the blackout in Pakistan, the frequency of power grids in Europe dropped sharply, and only renowned German engineers and no less famous German quality of equipment saved Europe from plunging into darkness, as it happened a little later in Pakistan:
Das waren 3741,4 MW – bei einer Reserve von 3.000 MW ist da verdammt viel schiefgegangen. Vor allem dieser steile Einbruch ist alarmierend! pic.twitter.com/YDL6AmbBPj

Are there plans for some kind of Pentagon intervention, as Washington now resembles Moscow in August 1991?:

Second, US President N. Trump is ready to activate the Emergency Alarm system that bypasses all conventional media (television, internet, radio, etc.) to send a message to US citizens!
In response, of course, to the decision of the dominant online media, from Google to Fb, Amazon, Tweet, Twitch to ban Trump from communicating with US citizens, even through Parler, the medium used by tens of millions of right-wing Americans to communicate.
The Emergency Alarm System (EAS) is a national alert system in the United States that came into force on January 1, 1997 and is coordinated jointly by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the National and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
The system is designed primarily to allow the president to address the country by intervening in the programming of all radio and television stations in the event of a national emergency.
The Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS) is used as a backend for the dissemination of warning information via EAS and related technologies, such as Wireless Alerts Alerts (WEA), using Common Alerting Protocol (CAP). EAS messages are mainly transmitted via terrestrial and satellite radio and television (including broadcast and multichannel television), which must be part of the system.
Millions of SMS have been sent in the last hours with the following update:
Third, the US military has been embroiled in an unprecedented political conflict. According to the New York Times, Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi asked Chief of Staff General Marley Miley to restrict the president's access to the nuclear arsenal, but he refused, as it would be a purely military coup.
The representative of the American Military leadership, David Butler confirmed that "the phone call was made and there was information about the nuclear control procedures".
To add that 70% of the military support Trump, but one can not imagine the involvement of the US armed forces in the internal political conflict, even if it has gone beyond what could be assumed as "within reason."
Fourth, the airspace above Washington was recently closed. Theoretically, it closed because an air traffic controller fell ill with coronavirus. Information was then leaked about "a possible terrorist attack by Iran in retaliation for Suleimani's assassination."
How likely is that? Then there were rumors that it was closed because N. Trump moved out of the White House accompanied by USAF fighters.
That is, for the movement of the aircraft of the presidency "Air Force 1" but it does not cease as a fact to be unprecedented.
The official excuse is that they disinfect the Air Traffic Control Room for flights over 18,000 feet because of a controller who tested positive for the virus.
See the picture of air traffic on the east coast of the USA, now:
Fifth, the arrival of the National Guard in Washington in large numbers:

Military helicopters observed over many US cities. There are many helicopters, they fly at unusually low altitudes and, if the helicopters are attack helicopters, people can consider full suspension systems with weapons:

Sixth, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has released an UPDATE of the nuclear attack guidelines it gives to all Americans through the Ready.gov website. Among the items added by FEMA are the following:
On your way to work, find suitable hiding places to look for in the event of an explosion. Due to COVID-19, many of the places you may walk to and from work may be closed or may not work during normal hours.
Such things were brought to the attention of the Americans for the last time fifty years ago, at the very peak of the Cold War, and the fact that this is now remembered again is very surprising to everyone.
Seventh,since Sunday, January 10, the Boeing E-4B is constantly in the air – one of the so-called "doomsday aircraft", that is, an air command post:
In normal times, any of these messages taken separately would have caused a serious panic among American conspiracy theorists, since, apart from periodic flights of "doomsday planes," nothing of the above has ever happened. And now it turns out, as it were, seven inexplicable sensational news in 24 hours.
This allows one to think that in the United States either some not very good things are being prepared, or these things are in full swing. That is, we can talk either about some grandiose false flag or even a possible world war.

О БРИКСе
BRICS is a unique interactive format of the five largest and most dynamically developing countries - Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. The Alliance so far has a short history, and its role in the international relations is still not fully determined; however, a number of politicians, experts, and researchers tend to consider this group a new powerful pole of the contemporary global system.
BRICS history
Formally, the acronym of BRIC was put into existence in 2001 by Jim O'Neill, Goldman Sachs senior analyst, when he first used it to refer to the group of the most dynamically developing, attractive to investors, and prospective countries (Brazil, Russia, India, and China). At that time, the experts did not predict these countries to merge into a political club, but, nevertheless, later on the natural desire to boost economic growth and the expansion of the political influence of each of the four countries led to the first meeting of the foreign ministers of Russia, India, and China, held in 2006 at St. Petersburg G8 Summit. Two months later, during the work process of the UN General Assembly, the first meeting of BRIC countries at the ministerial level was held.
Understanding of the common interests on a whole range of economic as well as political issues has led to regular consultations between the four countries in an outreach format in the programs of the major political clubs and international organizations, including in G8 through the Heiligendamm Process and the UN General Assembly; later on these countries have commenced to perform regular consultations before the G20 summits.
Consultation process at the ministerial level have rapidly expanded, the agenda of the Quartet's meetings commenced to include not only discussions on the global financial architecture problems, but as well such issues as intellectual property rights protection, energy efficiency, climate change, food security and development of biotechnologies, fight against poverty, public healthcare, problems of human capital and sustainable development, and many others.
On June 16, 2009, upon the initiative of the Russian Federation, the dialogue between the countries was for the first time performed at the top level within the official program of the first BRIC summit in Yekaterinburg, after the meeting of the three SCO countries. The Brazilian leader Inácio Lula da Silva has joined Dmitry Medvedev (Russia), Manmohan Singh (India) and Hu Jintao (China). The following year, on April 15-16, the next scheduled meeting of the leaders of the BRIC countries was held in the Brazilian capital of Brasilia. In November 2010, on the margins of G20 summit, for the first time the issue of the club expansion was raised upon the initiative of South Africa to join the BRIC countries. In late December, 2010, the heads of the BRIC countries issued a joint statement on the approval of incorporating South Africa into the consortium. So far, in 2011 China as the Chairman of the BRIC and with the approval of the Member States formally invited South Africa to become a member of the Alliance.
The first summit of the new participants - III BRICS Summit - was held in the city of Sanya, China, on April 13-14, 2011. The delegations were headed by Dilma Rousseff (Brazil), Dmitry Medvedev (Russia), Manmohan Singh (India), Hu Jintao (China), and Jacob Zuma (South Africa). The next - IV BRICS Summit - was held in New Delhi, India, on 28-29 March 2012. The Heads of the Delegations remained the same: Dilma Rousseff (Brazil), Dmitry Medvedev (Russia), Manmohan Singh (India), Hu Jintao (China), and Jacob Zuma (South Africa). At the fifth summit, which was held in Durban on 26-27 March, 2013, South Africa took over the presidency. The delegations were headed by Dilma Rousseff (Brazil), Vladimir Putin (Russia), Manmohan Singh (India), Xi Jinping (China), and Jacob Zuma (South Africa). 2014 was a starting year of a new cycle of BRICS countries meetings. Upon the approval of the Russian Federation, Brazil was the first to take over the presidency in the second cycle of the meetings. The Summit of the Alliance was held on 15 -16 July 2014 in the city of Fortaleza. VII BRICS Summit has been scheduled to be held in Ufa (Russia) in the autumn of 2015.
BRICS nowadays
International trade, economic, and investment cooperation, reform of the outdated monetary and financial architecture and the establishment of a more democratic and equitable international economic and financial environment;
Establishment of a multilateral world and the methods of network diplomacy, including through establishing integration mechanisms of a complementary nature within the respective regions
Strengthening the cooperation between BRICS within the global and regional organizations in order to maintain international peace and security, as well as preservation of the United Nations as the central organization of the global governance:
Coordination of the positions of the five countries on the issues of global and regional stability and security, non-proliferation of mass destruction weapons, settlement of regional conflicts;
Promotion of the central role of the UN and relevant regional institutions in the light of the fight against terrorism, drug trafficking, information security, jointly countering cyber-terrorism and cyber-crime, combating maritime piracy, etc.;
Establishing and enhancing external relations of BRICS with the leading developing countries and international organizations;
Cooperation based on equality, mutual benefit and complementarity in the economic, scientific and technical spheres, given the vast resource base of the BRICS countries, major manpower resources, large domestic markets, the aims of economic modernization and high technologies, food and energy security, as well as in view of improving quality of life of their own population.
Formation of a new ideology of international relations based on the principles of compatibility and equality of different civilizations, culturesm, and ideologies as the identity of the new century.

Robert S. Norris's Interview (2002)
Robert S. Norris: By the late 30s, physicists, in Europe primarily, but some in America too, were making great discoveries about the atom. The key date here was January 1939, when European scientists had discovered fission. News of that was brought to the United States by Niels Bohr. Actually, it was brought to Washington, DC, at a conference at George Washington University.

Fran Foster's Story
Author: Fran Foster
Fran Foster wanted to investigate different approaches to squirrel conservation and management, to see what learnings she could bring back to the UK.
In 2013 Fran Foster, a self-employed red squirrel ranger from North Cumbria, embarked on her Fellowship to France, Italy and Switzerland to explore squirrel management. Sadly, due to competition from grey squirrels, the native red squirrel is on the brink of extinction in many parts of England and Wales.
Fran was particularly interested in public attitude to wildlife control and the associated conflict resolution, and she visited many stakeholders in the alien species management debate as possible.
In Genoa the different views on wildlife management were very obvious - with huge mistrust of the motives of people on all sides of the conservation debate. Introduced grey squirrels in Italy are causing a relentless regional decline in red squirrel populations. Fran visited conservation organisations, natural history museums and universities involved in alien species management, schools and youth groups, where her cocker spaniel proved to be a real ice-breaker, paving the way for more open discussion. Fran soon realised that everyone has their own ideas about alien species and that it is essential to listen to different opinions and to cooperate with diverse special interest groups with sometimes contradictory values.
A highlight of her trip was the time spent with Dr Luc Wauters in the Varese region of Italy. This was the most intense fieldwork, allowing Fran to develop skills in monitoring using radio-tracking and trail cameras, as well as trapping and dispatching grey squirrels.
As part of her study Fran looked at co-operation between field-sports, industry and conservation. Amongst those she met, there was not just tolerance, but genuine understanding of these overlapping roles.
Fran's Fellowship experience has led to her being commissioned to write a column in a local paper, articles in country and national magazines, and filming of red squirrels with BBC Wales. Other conservation projects from Scotland to Cornwall have taken up her articles and she has been supported by local radio.
Fran has given talks and workshops to several WI groups, and set up a highly successful trap-loan and training scheme for local residents. Many farmers and landowners are now supportive, carrying out grey squirrel control on their own land with her help.
Fran has also been inspiring local young people to get involved by holding a series of practical activities and workshops for scouts, wildlife watch groups and schools.
Promotion of the red squirrel rather than demonizing the grey is a message that will pave the way for her future conservation work.
It is important to continue to work to raise the profile of wildlife management as a tool for conservation. In a world of competing values, ethical dilemmas and disagreements a new profession is needed; blending seamlessly the skills of the ecologist, the scientist, the conservationist and pest controller, into a wildlife manager, so that red squirrel conservation is never again reliant on the rattling of collecting tins. Since my Fellowship, I feel I possess the skills and qualities needed and now have the ability to pass them on to others.

Q: Correcting typos on "meaningless" questions I'm curious as to the community opinion from the exchange in the comments of this question:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4906396/rss-feed-in-java-liferay
The crux of the question is:

*

*is it policy that users should not try to correct typos and grammar in "meaningless" questions? Not just "probably shouldn't" or that it "might be a waste", but rather a policy such that a diamond mod tells you "do not" do this.

*If so, what's the rationale?  What issues is the user causing in doing this?
[To be clear, I'm not the user who edited the post, just someone who came across the question and comments and disagrees with the handling of it.]

I quickly scanned of meta and I didn't find anything similar.  This could be related:
Should users edit other users' posts to correct grammar and spelling problems?

Update:
LOL - a high rep user just edited the question, so it doesn't look so "meaningless".  Here's the question as it was originally posted by the asker:

Hi all,
I want to create RSS feed menas when i click to the subscribing to this blog link...It will call to XML and after display all current activities??..can anyone has idea???..
Thank

A: OK let's look at the particular edit:
Original was:

Hi all,
I want to create RSS feed menas when i
  click to the subscribing to this blog
  link...It will call to XML and after
  display all current activities??..can
  anyone has idea???.
Thanks

Approved edit:

Hi all,
I want to create RSS feed means when i
  click the subscribing to this blog
  link... It will call to XML and
  afterwards display all current
  activities??..
can anyone has idea???..
Thank

This was approved by no less than two 10k users which is a bigger part of the problem.

Now there is no arguing that both the original and the target are complete gobbledigook. Even at its current incarnation this question is at best a duplicate at worst way too vague.
To add to that the edit is totally incomplete, "can anyone has idea??". "It will call to XML and after"
As a rule of thumb I think we should not approve any edits that leave a question incomprehensible. Clearly we should also not be making them.
There are other facilities on the site for dealing with incomprehensible questions. You can vote to close them as a 3k user or flag them as a registered user.
If you think there is a diamond hiding in an insanely spelled and phrased question, by all means, show us the diamond. Edit away.
However, sloppy edits to incomprehensible questions, that leave the question incomprehensible should be discouraged. They interrupt multiple 10k users which could be doing much more important things.

A: As said here, such edits increase a question's readability and help others to decide whether this question is meaningless. I think this is the right approach.
Correcting typos will help others to understand a question more easily.
I've also faced such kind of problems in some questions where I am not able to understand a question before it is edited. Since I don't understand the question, I can't judge whether it is meaningless or not. I'm not going against a moderator's decision. It's on them to decide if an edit is valid.

Maybe I'm asking a question in my answer but I need to be clear about it:
Sometimes, I see a question about the technology that I don't know but it's so badly formatted that hardly someone can read it. So I edit it to format code and correct typos. At that time, it may be possible that, after formatting, I can't figure out if it's meaningless as I don't know possess the knowledge to answer the question. Am I doing it wrong?

A: Well, I guess the rationale is that you're wasting your time (which is your problem), but also that you're wasting the time of two other users who have to approve/reject your edits. Wasting their time because the question will be binned anyway.
However as a low rep user, you're not necessarily in a position to judge whether a question will be closed/deleted. And as an anonymous user, maybe you don't even know that questions can be closed or deleted... As Harry points out, you may not understand the particular technology well enough to accurately judge the question's quality (though I suspect that would be very rare).
There are guidelines (though I doubt anyone reads them) in the side bar when you edit:

*

*fix grammatical or spelling errors

*clarify meaning without changing it

*correct minor mistakes

*add related resources or links

*always respect the original author

And your usecase clearly isn't covered by this.
(I've suggested my own, which you can read here)

A: The only clear cut definition of meaningless would be blatant SPAM or hate speech, and I don't think anyone would waste their time on that beyond redacting links or inappropriate remarks.
Otherwise, you should edit when you feel that you can improve the quality of a post. A lot of questions get off to the wrong start but end up getting the kind of quality answers that we encourage. The only time you should flat out avoid editing is when you just can't grasp the intent of the original author sufficiently to help.
It's hard to canonize some kind of guide for that, as it's always relative to the reader. More often than not, however, you can get a good grasp of what they were trying to ask, and dramatically improve the quality of the question.

A: Correcting typos on a hopeless question: Bad.
Rewriting a Hopeless question: Good.
Instead of standing around saying someone should do something; be that someone.

The Sham Valley Trek is probably the easiest one around Leh but its enjoyable as one comes across villages on the way that give insights into the Ladakhi village life. One will notice how a stream of glacial water has led to an oasis of life amidst barren wilderness, not to mention the smiles on the faces of people living there. Among the tourists this is popularly known as "baby trek" for its relatively easy walk which is soothing. Combined with the Pangong Lake Excursion this itinerary gives one a good insight into Ladakh.

Its about 1.5 hrs drive to Likir from where we start the walk which goes parallel to a motorable road that ascends to Phobe La (3580m). From the pass we leave the road to take a descending track leading to a gorge which finally takes us back on the road. At this point one can view Sumdo village with its few houses. We leave the road again to climb up to Chagatse La (3630m) after crossing the stream on a wooden bridge. One starts seeing the Yangthang village where we camp for the night. Overnight Camp.

Once the Lexus GS was created in 1991, it created a star and wealthy report that car aficionados marvel at in today's day still. However, the first Lexus GS wasn't the GS that people know today. There were significant changes that occurred over time which may have evolved the Lexus GS into the worldwide phenomenon.
The Lexus GS was launched as the Toyota Aristo in 1991 initially, with Aristo so this means "the best" in Greek. That's actually quite a precise declaration, as the product quality, luxury, and trustworthiness haven't wavered since its inception. Eventually, the Aristo name developed to the Lexus GS, which means Grand Sport. The Lexus GS has received such positive opinions so it actually helped flip the Lexus brand into children name and course several model era years.
Present features the 4th era GS available in F-sport or foundation lean. The bottom model includes a classic straight grille, as the F-Sport trim has an extremely aggressive spindle grille and performance enhancements. Despite the fact that the F-sport is more costly, people opt for the F-sport due to unique stylistic features still. The feedback has been overwhelming positive for the GS F-Sport, but one noticeable difference between your F-Sport package and the bottom trim is usually that the F-sport lacks a couple of working fog lights! You might feel that reduced trim could have all the top features of a base cut plus more, but it just so happens that the prime trim will not come outfitted with fog signals.
While this isn't exactly a reason for security alarm, this fog light conundrum has been quite bothersome for GS owners. Individuals opting for to costume their Lexus with a couple of aftermarket Lexus GS F-Sport Fog Lighting to help complete the appearance and present it a far more Japanese Local persona. These aftermarket fog equipment and lighting allow drivers to get all the stylistic specifications they need on the GS, and never have to select from having fog lighting and choosing the F-sport cut.
Due to aftermarket improvements, the sales for GS F-Sport lean have soared and the bottom trim has type of become a supplementary option to the intense option. Once the world of manufacturer OEM parts is coupled with aftermarket enhancements, the options for updates are endless. Thus giving owners full liberty to modify their vehicle nonetheless they want to and up grade their drive to specific style.

Q: Deconstruct Expression> and collection into an .Intersect() I have an abstraction of my MongoDB querying whereby I pass it an expression tree to filter documents retrieved from the database. eg:
var filterExpression = x => x.IsPublished && x.Topics.Contains("fish");
MyCollection.Get(filterExpression);

In the implementation of this, I then do:
_collection.Find(filterExpression).ToListAsync();

I also have a fake for this, for testing:
Collection.Where(expression.Compile());

Now I have requirement to do an Intersect query eg get me all documents that are published, and have topics about 'fish' or 'chips'.
In mongo, I have to use:
Builders<TDAO>.Filter.AnyIn(setInDocument, setToIntersect)

where the parameters have types:
Expression<Func<TDAO, IEnumerable<string>>> setInDocument
IEnumerable<string> setToIntersect

Is there a way to get from those types to an Intersect eg something like:

Bengaluru, the city of contrasts
March 3, 2011 Gaurav Jha
Dev Raj 45 is a construction worker who left his village in Bihar 25 years ago to make a living. He has worked in cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Jodhpur, Coimbatore and Bangalore. After all these years, he's going back to his village disappointed with what he has achieved.
Raj has been in Bengaluru for a year now. "I am going home next month and I will not come back. I will work in the fields in my village. Yes, I will earn less but it is far better than living here," said Dev Raj. He earns 200 rupees per day for 9 hours and after that he gets 20 rupees per hour as overtime. He has to pay for food, medicines etc apart from sending home some money.
B. Mahesh, 47, from Chennai has worked in a textile firm before, he has studied till seventh standard. He is happy with his life here in Bengaluru. "I have been working in this factory for the past three months, I am very happy with my job, I am getting the facilities that I never even knew about" he says. Mahesh's earns 4,000 rupees a month for 8 hours of work per. His job comes with medical insurance, traveling allowance, bonus etc.
Two workers from different states, with similar backgrounds, leading very different lives in Bangalore.
The condition of most of the construction workers is very poor in the city. They have to sleep in the temporary huts built near the construction site; they do not have any toilets, if they have small children they have to keep them at the site. The textile workers lives are less of a makeshift arrangement. But their work conditions in many cases aren't any better. They work long hours for lesser pay and many of them don't have regular leave plans and medical facilities. Sometimes even toilet breaks become a luxury.
According to the minimum wages act the salary of a construction worker should be at least 135 rupees per day and for a textile worker it has to be 121 rupees per day. In this case Raj does earn more than Mahesh on a per day basis but the former only manages to get work for ten days a month.
Raj who has spent all his life moving from one place to another in search of a good job, because back home he did not had the opportunity, is tired now and will go back to his home not to return again.
For the past fifteen years he has only seen an increase of 100 rupees in a day, which he says is not enough to cope with the growing expenses.
"When I left my village 25 years ago I thought that when I return I will be satisfied with what I achieved in the cities, with what I did for my family. The only thing for which I am going to miss Bangalore for is the weather its very pleasant, back home its very hot," said Raj.
With two cuts on his chest and perhaps several on his dreams, Raj is going back to the place from where his journey began. Mahesh on the other hand is planning to get his family here. Because he says the facilities which he is getting from the factory is sufficient for his family.

What We Use in Our Methodology
To find the top financial advisors in Maryland, we first identified all firms registered with the SEC in the state. Next, we filtered out firms that don't offer financial planning services, those that don't serve primarily individual clients and those that have disclosures on their record. The qualifying firms were then ranked according to the following criteria:
Firms with more total assets under management are ranked higher.
Individual Client Count
Firms who serve more individual clients (as opposed to institutional clients) are ranked higher.
Clients Per Advisor
Firms with a lower ratio of clients per financial advisor are ranked higher.
Age of Firm
Firms that have been in business longer are ranked higher.
Firms with a fee-only (as opposed to fee-based) compensation structure are ranked higher.
All information is accurate as of the writing of this article. This list may include firms that have a business relationship with SmartAsset, in which SmartAsset is compensated for lead referrals. Such relationships have no impact on our rankings, and firms are included and ranked based strictly on the above criteria.

1919 Investment Counsel Investment Strategy
1919 Investment Counsel strives to build investment and financial plans that will meet its clients' needs. It does this across two main verticals: equity and fixed income, offered on a discretionary and non-discretionary basis.
Fixed income and equity discretionary services refer to standard investments accounts that use not only fixed-income and equity investments, but also cash equivalents and alternative investments. Because it's a discretionary account, you are ceding all decision-making ability 1919's advisors. On the other hand, non-discretionary investment advisory services leave control in your hands. The firm will come up with a set of investment recommendations, which you'll be able to approve or reject.
The firm has family office services available as well, though these aren't available to every client. These services are meant to ensure that an entire family's financial needs and desires are being met and will include all the services above, just on a larger scale.

2330 West Joppa Road
Lutherville, MD 21093
https://harborinvestmentadvis…
Harbor Investment Advisory is a fee-based financial advisor firm located in Lutherville. It manages billions for its clients, the majority of whom are high-net-worth individuals. Harbor also advises hundreds of individuals without high net worths and offers services to pension and profit-sharing plans, charitable organizations and corporations.
The minimum account size at Harbor varies based on the type of account a client selects, ranging from no minimum at all to $1 million. Fees at Harbor are generally based on a percentage of assets under management, though some services are subject to a flat fee. Harbor advisors may also make commissions for selling products to clients. This represents a potential conflict of interest, but advisors are still bound by fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of the client.
There are numerous advisors at the firm with a myriad of professional certifications, including the following designations: certified financial planner (CFP), chartered financial analyst (CFA), chartered retirement planning counselor (CRPC), certified investment management analyst (CIMA), certified private wealth advisor (CPWA), accredited investment fiduciary, among others.

Harbor Investment Advisory Investment Strategy
Advisors at Harbor work with clients to develop a strategy that fits their life and goals. A mix of quantitative and qualitative analyses are used to develop investment strategies. Possible investments include stocks, bonds, index mutual funds and alternative investments.
Quantitative analysis is done using only raw numbers; outside factors affecting the company won't be considered. Qualitative anaalysis, on the other hand, looks at the full story behind a company. If a new management team is hired or a new strategy is put in place, this analysis may cause stockpickers to buy or sell shares of the company.
Heritage Investors Management Corp.
Despite having billions in assets under management (AUM), Bethesda-based financial advisor firm Heritage Investors Management Corp. has a relatively small advisory team.

Heritage Investors Management Corp. primarily invests in stocks, bonds, exchanged-traded funds (ETFs) and money market instruments. The decisions it makes about specific investments are not only affected by clients' needs, but also by any domestic or foreign events that occur that could affect the market.
Heritage says that it typically engages in long-term purchases of securities, and the firm's advisors will usually only hold onto investments long enough to make sure that taxes don't heavily impact returns. Still, it does not believe that securities should be bought and held forever, and it will adjust portfolios in response to economic and market conditions. It occasionally engages in short-selling and margin transactions, though only after consulting with the client about the risks of these strategies.

How Long $1mm Lasts in Retirement
SmartAsset's interactive map highlights places where $1 million will last the longest in retirement. Zoom between states and the national map to see the top spots in each region. Also, scroll over any city to learn about the cost of living in retirement for that location.
Healthcare Expenses
Utilities Expenses
Methodology We analyzed data on average expenditures for seniors, cost of living and investment returns to determine how many years of retirement a $1 million nest egg would cover in cities across America.
First, we looked at data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) on the average annual expenditures of seniors. We then applied cost of living data from the Council for Community and Economic Research to adjust those national average spending levels based on the costs of each expense category (housing, food, healthcare, utilities, transportation and other) in each city. Using this data, SmartAsset calculated the average cost of living for retirees in the largest U.S. cities.
We assumed the $1 million would grow at a real return (interest minus inflation) of 2%. Then, we divided $1 million by the sum of each of those annual numbers to determine how long $1 million would cover retirement expenses in each of the cities in our study. Cities where $1 million lasted the longest ranked the highest in the study.

BEVERLEY Pasture Masters have this week issued an appeal to drivers to take care and observe speed limits on The Westwood following the latest incident in which a cow was hit and subsequently died. The incident was described as a "hit and run".
A spokesperson said: "The Beverley Pasture Masters would like to say to drivers that they should take care whilst travelling over The Westwood, adhere to the speed limit of 40 mph and be aware that cows could cross at any time so they may need to go slower than the speed limit. The cows are on the Westwood between April and December each year."
HUMBERSIDE Police have been alerted to ongoing problems at the derelict Minster Towers site on Lord Roberts Road and say they are concerned for the safety of youths congregating there. They say youths have been trespassing, getting into the buildings, including climbing on the roof. Community officers told Beverley FM the site was full of hidden dangers, including the presence of asbestos.
THERE are more chances next week to enjoy tours of the popular exhibition at Beverley Treasure House, "Birds, Books and Belfries", which explores the remarkable life and work of a 19th century East Yorkshire vicar, wildlife campaigner and writer. The free tours will take place on Wednesday September 7, from 2 – 2.30pm, and Friday September 9 from 10.30 – 11am, and will be led by Treasure House curator Sally Hayes. More details here


The petty, ceaseless feud between Mayor de Blasio and Gov. Cuomo sank to a new low on Friday and claimed its first fatality — a one-antlered buck that swam to Manhattan in search of a mate.
The poor deer died from "stress" while in captivity at a Harlem Animal Care and Control center as both pols bickered over whether to euthanize him or free him upstate.
Even after the looking-for-love buck bit the dust, aides for Hizzoner and the governor continued their pathetic spat with warring, finger-wagging statements.
"In the time that we waited for the state to come and pick up the deer, unfortunately, the deer perished," jabbed Sam Biederman, a rep for the city Department of Parks and Recreation.
The state couldn't resist firing back, claiming that it's the city that has the buck's blood on its hands.
The squabble marked a new low point even for de Blasio and Cuomo, who have fought publicly over serious issues ranging from charter schools to homelessness to transportation during weather emergencies.
The politicians first butted heads over the deer Thursday, when the animal hopped a fence into a Harlem housing project and was captured by city workers.
De Blasio said the city planned to take pity on the deer by putting it down, prompting Cuomo to take to Twitter offering to set it free upstate.
Hizzoner shot down the offer on a radio show Friday morning.
"There's no other option" other than to euthanize the deer, de Blasio insisted on WNYC. "That is actually inhumane in its own right, to try to relocate it," the mayor said. "Like any other creature, [deer] are used to a certain environment. You put them in a new environment, even in nature, it is traumatizing.
But public outcry against de Blasio was fierce, with even a former close aide blasting him.
"De Blasio has a long history of murdering animals. #chuck #neverforget," tweeted Lis Smith, referring to the ham-handed mayor's famous fumble in 2014 of Staten Island Chuck, which died after Hizzoner dropped the groundhog.
Smith was de Blasio's campaign spokeswoman but resigned after it surfaced that she was romantically involved with disgraced former Gov. Eliot Spitzer.
De Blasio ended up backing off killing the deer at the last minute, finally agreeing to let the state release the animal in the Catskills.
But he wasn't about to admit he had been wrong.
"Due to the stress caused by transit and the low survival rate of deer who are relocated, the city still feels that the most humane option is to euthanize this deer. However, the state is a regulatory body here, and we defer to them," said de Blasio's parks rep, Biederman.
The state was so serious in its bid to prove de Blasio wrong that it even brought in the federal Department of Agriculture to ensure its safe transport.
The city still planned to tag and track the deer — possibly to use as ammunition for its fight with the state if the animal died soon after being released.
Then came word that the deer had died.
At least four cops were brought to the animal-control center earlier in the day to sedate the deer.
They were called off the job when de Blasio flip-flopped — and finally left the site shortly before 2:30 p.m. when it became clear their services would no longer be needed.

The L.A. Times says the revolt in Egypt is an indigenous and broad-based movement galvanized by decades of corruption and poverty and the U.S. should let events play out.
It's tempting, in light of Egypt's military and economic dependence on American aid, to believe that the U.S. can control the crisis provoked by mass protests against President Hosni Mubarak. Advocating democracy is different from stage-managing it. ...The revolt in Egypt is an indigenous and broad-based movement galvanized by decades of corruption and poverty (as well as by the example of the revolt in Tunisia). The U.S., which can't know what's going to happen next, should let events play out, reaffirming this country's devotion to democracy while recognizing that Egyptians must determine their own destiny.
