 keep an eye aout for those logical fallacy landmines yo : )

correlation v causation 
 true, but Odells key only works on ONE account. scale matters I think

 Daily reminder that your government is gay and retarded but not as retarded as the normies in you... 
 if I get this math, gov should be in charge as the smartest retards?! : ) 
 Bye for now....

 Sorry but the “pond scum” story is far more awesome, consistent and deep than the thousands of Zeus, Cargo Cult, & Scientology types of tales all competing for their fiat offering plates…. 
 Fact Check = ✅

 Just stop with the ignorant glucose shit, EVERY fucking cell uses glucose as fuel WTF - biology 101 yo 
 Nonsense, head straight to the local community college and take biology 101, then keep going on that track for 2 years of proof of work. It’s so maddening seeing people give folks Cancer advice when they are absolutely fucking clueless about biochemistry. Chemo is fucking horrendous because of the challenge in Targeting cancer cells, the collateral damage is often overwhelming. Thinking you can just “starve” cancer with your diet is reckless advice and he should stop selling that shit. 
I got fucking hooked by Ben, and I need to just give up now. ✌️ 
 yea its on page 6 this week.... 
 Glucose is the brain’s primary food source too 😂 
 Ok, got it now Ben, you must be running a grift. There’s no way you can be this wrong without getting paid to be this wrong. The irony of you dissing drug companies is rich! So you prey on folks that are already prone to distrust big pharma so they listen to your nonsense that has just enough “facts” that normies think you understand biochemistry. It’s fucking lame dude. 
 Offspring at the gym, Grateful Dead at “church”, everything else in between 🤘 
 I TELL ANY CONTRACTOR I PAY THAT I WILL ADD 20% IF THEY ACCEPT BITCOIN.

SIMPLE. WORKS. 
 I gotta learn how to do some contractors shit! 😂 
 Is this recent!? Saw that Garret McNamara’s series about the place and the100 foot wave was still in play - so sick!! 
 Holy fucking word salad nonsense Batman -  “especially potent influence on the mitochondria…” WTF 😂 
 Do I really need to spend 300usd to set up a bitcoin node? Just ball-parking it on a raspberry pi... 
 If you are putting real sats on there in Lightning channels, drop $1,200 and build in redundancy and automatic backups - if you just want it connect Sparrow wallet to keep your privacy, then yeah old lappy is fine 
 I’m new here. Found Nostr by way of the Primal app, that I found by way of nostr:npub1spdnfacgs... 
 Devs are popular & getting girlfriends now!? - a bright future is here 😂 
 You’ve arrived at the perfect time. The devs have put 2 plus years of their lives into creating a place that a non tech artist can fire up an app on a phone and post content and exchange value in 20 minutes. The devs were the only ones here to build it, now you get to be among the first to build your artistic vision in this brand new “town”.  There are no rules for you to worry about and where ever you go in this world, you take everything you’ve built with you, no walls here. Get your pioneering spirit on, and build the Nostr you want to see - have fun! 
 So cool, I was just getting ready to send all staff the bad news about changing to 4 word passwords with a random single digit number and a period between each and now I have a cute little graphic that might ease the pain 😂  THANKS! 
 An OG version with a touch more Southern Twang.... 🎶 🎸

 Get busy opening a non-profit private school in your hood - excellent opportunity to share your personal growth, creativity, originality and leadership abilities - be the change you want to see and all yes? 
 Ya got stuff like ”Bombshell”, “Suffragette”, “Little Women”, and “Hidden Figures” highlighting women battling their authoritarian oppressors - no love for the ladies??😂 
 Everyone recognises the inefficiency and damage caused by monopolies.

 Incentives…. 
 Slaves are property in captivity compelled by force to work on whatever their owners choose - there’s nothing to tax. Citizens are free to not work or move away,  but if you choose to stay, you gotta pay the “protection racket” tax. It sucks, but it ain’t in the same ballpark as slavery. 
 This is like when sports dude compares football to war, it’s just not war. I get that taxes suck, but it’s not slavery, come on snap out of it man. 
 What’s in the little weathered box above the keys 😀

 Pro tip - Hit the local Community College and pass Biology 100, Chemistry 100, and Physics 100 to begin adding some proof of work to your opinions - proof of stake radicalization (my tribe says it’s true and if you use a good ad pop-up blocker you can get through the article that PROVES it 😀) is weak sauce….

 Never have taken any form of birth control, and never will. 

That shit is not normal 
 Every unwanted pregnancy is the man's fault for not controlling his own bodily fluids. Gabrielle Blair (Mormon mother of 6), makes the strong case that if men were held completely financially responsible for the unwanted pregnancies they cause, woman would not need to risk their biochemistry with hormonal pills. It's all about setting up the right incentives. Flipped my whole intuition on this topic years ago....

 I honestly don’t know if my husband is on NOSTR a lot or not 😅

But…What is an awesome Bit... 
 Book a trip to Austin for Bitcoin++ next year! There's no better place to hang with awesome bitcoin devs (no big conf crowds or shitcoiners) in the heart of bitcoin country (killer steaks everywhere) while listening to great live music playing anywhere you walk at night. Score a killer place downtown so you never have to get in car the whole time. Have fun! 
 tomorrow morning I set out on a personal misogi.

 All I can think about now is the dog’s readiness, foot care and the rescue plan in place should the shit hit the fan for the 🐕 conscripted into this human misogi thingy 😂 - have fun and take care of doggo! 
 I apologize to the Bitcoin Development community, I am finally running a node. It was one of the ... 
 It takes time for your node to verify the blocks so it’s more of a compute time suck than a download data time suck as I understand it. 
 Rusty is not some random douche deciding to go YOLO on bitcoin - the dude has a body of work that speaks to his professionalism and engineering prowess. Your whole first point is you making assumptions about assumptions and then dissing Rusty’s valid concerns about cpu cycles and memory use - the exact things you need to consider for DDOS attacks etc. 

Nuclear power plants generate electricity the is used in all sorts of dangerous ways and then the waste is processed into fucking nuclear weapons. Your criticism is lacking the necessary depth of understanding for me to take you seriously. 

Rusty’s proposal is the most positive development in bitcoin development that I’ve heard yet and I couldn’t be more stoked that he’s decided to use his life’s energy focused on this. Never been more bullish after hearing him speak at BTC++ in May. My two sats anyway… 
 You don’t make points, you make unsupported assertions about what Rusty is thinking or not, that’s just you pondering shit. 
 Nice! My bandmates have been playing the original lately, can't wait to share the cover - energetic!  
 Recommend you hit the local community college and take biology 101 Sir. Cancer cells are fueled by exactly the same thing as every other cell in your body: glucose converted to ATP.  Carnivore or Vegan, every process in your body is powered by ATP and your amazing body can handle both extreme diets amazingly well. 
 Ok. Ben you don’t understand what you are talking about, so it’s shitty to give all caps medical advice about cancer. Just stop until you at least get through a couple years of course work. If the support for your case is shilling hair implants and carnivore crisps, you are in the wrong rabbit hole.
