These are some concerning developments regarding Russia from Brandon Smith at the Bob Livingston Letter.

It does line up with some of my beliefs regarding end times.

There's something very strange happening on the nuclear front between NATO and Russia, and I believe it might be time to start considering the possibility that WWIII is about to officially begin. If we accept the fundamental truth that Ukraine is nothing more than a proxy battleground between Russia and the West, then you might say WWIII has already begun. However, an event has recently taken place which suggests a major escalation is at hand.In the past two weeks, Ukraine has taken credit for at least two separate strikes on Russian "over the horizon" radar stations using drones with an impressive flight range of at least 1200 miles. The Voronezh-DM stations were positioned outside the city of Orsk and the region of Krasnodar (Armavir); far away from the front lines in Ukraine. The strikes are being hailed as the furthest Ukraine has attacked the heart of Russia, but the corporate media has ignored the wider implications of the situation.The drones used were likely of U.S. or European origin. NATO has (until the past couple of days) enforced tight restrictions on how their weapons can be used by Ukraine. Long-range drones and cruise missiles hitting targets deep in Russia invites major blowback, including the threat of a nuclear response.That said, it's not so much the weapons used that concern me, it's the specific targets that Ukraine supposedly chose.Russia's over-the-horizon radar systems have a detection range of at least 6000 miles and scan specifically for high-altitude ballistic missiles. They are not designed to detect lower-flying cruise missiles (ATACMS) and drones. Meaning, the two stations destroyed by Ukrainian weapons are meant to act as an early warning system for a nuclear attack.The Ukrainians supposedly defied NATO restrictions, not once, but twice, to target radar systems that have nothing to do with them. In fact, the arrays sit in permanently fixed positions and neither array was actually aimed at Ukraine, they were aimed at the North and Southwest of Russia. Instead of attacking vital strategic resources like oil refineries or ammo depots, Russia's nuclear defenses are being systematically damaged. Why?It's important to understand that a strike of this kind deep into the center of Russia requires complex planning and logistics. It cannot be achieved without intel on the ground as well as aid from satellite surveillance (Ukraine relies completely on NATO satellites and intel). Furthermore, the drones used would have to have the ability to evade early detection systems and remain in stealth for thousands of miles. This kind of technology comes strictly from the West.In other words, there's no way that these attacks were accomplished by Ukraine without extensive help and approval from the U.S. or European command. I question the idea that a Ukrainian pilot was even remotely flying the drones. We're talking about some of the most closely defended radar stations in the whole of Russia.

Why does any of this matter? Let us count the ways...First, the targeting of Russian nuclear defenses might make the Kremlin believe they are being prepped for a nuclear strike. Why else would their ballistic radar be singled out? This means they will be on high alert for a possible nuclear exchange. Not good.Second, the Voronezh-DM stations are used to identify FALSE POSITIVE alerts of nuclear attack. Meaning, if a weapon is used against Russia that mimics a high-altitude ballistic missile, their ability to detect that it's NOT a nuke has been reduced. They might launch their own warheads in response to a non-nuclear strike.Third, it's possible that NATO and Ukraine believe dismantling the radar sends a message that if Russia threatens a nuclear attack, they might be hit first. All this means is that Russia won't give a warning, they'll simply launch.Fourth, the attack on Armavir alone could meet the conditions the Russian government laid out publicly in 2020 for actions that could trigger a nuclear retaliatory strike. Russia's early warning network is part of the country's broader nuclear deterrent posture."The conditions specifying the possibility of nuclear weapons use by the Russian Federation" include any "attack by an adversary against critical governmental or military sites of the Russian Federation, disruption of which would undermine nuclear forces response actions," according to the Basic Principles of State Policy of the Russian Federation on Nuclear Deterrence the Kremlin put out two years ago.So far there has been no indication of how Russia will retaliate, but let's consider the circumstances at the front right now. Ukrainian defenses are thin and they lack the manpower needed to maintain the most rudimentary of strong points. As I noted last month, Ukraine's front line is about to be overrun, likely this summer, with Russia opening a new offensive push in the north near Kharkiv.NATO countries are now indicating they will support Ukraine's use of long-range weapons inside Russia. This means major metropolitan areas of Ukraine will be on the table for Russia's own long-range strikes, a measure which they have avoided for the most part. Also, watch for the use of thermobaric bombs (vacuum bombs) by Russia; these are massively destructive weapons that have so far been absent from the battlefield (aside from unverified reports).The West is sending Russia the message that they will not allow Ukraine to lose, they will not pursue diplomatic solutions and if Russia begins gaining significant ground, anything goes. Does this include nukes? It's hard to say.I highly doubt the establishment wants to trigger a global nuclear war. They have everything to lose and very little to gain. They just spent the better part of the last century building up one of the most intricate economic and political control grids in the history of humanity. I don't think they would be happy to see it all vaporized in the blink of an eye.A limited nuclear event, though, might serve their interests well. A mushroom cloud over Kyiv would scare the tighty-whiteys off most of the population and certainly spur NATO to fully commit to the war. Here is where the risk of a false flag comes into play.I have a growing suspicion that the dominoes are being stacked in favor of a rigged event. Ukraine is losing the war, that much is clear. Russia is amassing troops for a summer offensive, that much is also clear. The destruction of their early warning radar serves no purpose in the defense of Ukraine, but it does serve NATO should there be some kind of false positive, a way to get Russia to overreact, opening the door to an official declaration of war between east and west.As I write this multiple governments including the French government are calling for European troops to be deployed to Ukraine. Some political leaders want them to go as "advisers" and trainers. This is exactly what the U.S. did right before it deployed extensive military forces to Vietnam. Remember the fraudulent Gulf of Tonkin incident?Something very odd is going on here. I have no doubt that WWIII is the intended outcome of the confrontation between NATO and Russia in Ukraine. The question is, how do they plan to arrange that outcome while convincing the American and European public to join the war effort? They need a serious false flag.

Yes. I could not agree more. 👍


Humans naturally have a partially arbitrary nature, as only the minority are capable of effective leadership and commitment to any kind of progression. Most are cowards and will be terrified to commit to anything that they know will place them under pressure.

An individual always has free will. And nature itself always chooses the proper "disorder", not order. I know how insane it sounds, but the whole concept of order is binary. Order and disorder are not different. They form some type of totality.

And I hadn't considered that about Mars. 🤔 I was always aware that we would never be able to survive in large numbers up on the surface due to it's thin atmosphere and virtually no protection from its radiation, but I had always imagined that, perhaps, small settlements may be a slim possibility.


The more we learn about Mars, the more it seems as if something similar had occurred there. Whatever happened over there, there are structures on the planet's surface that look as if they were architecturally designed and built.

"Violence is not Evil, it is a tool just like any other."

This is true. Perhaps, I'm speaking more anecdotally, but there are a few characteristics that I've noticed to be more frequent within the Gen Z generation. They seem to be a touch more scared of the potential application of brute force in comparison to previous generations and seem to be more vulnerable to the opinions of others.

In short, this quote stands true.

"Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times."


Western world is living in a delusion of abundance, waiting for the fog to clear. Assholes in areas of scarcity will attack those who have always known that abundance comes with production.

There will be pockets of abundance, more free areas. They need to know how to defend themselves. Violence is not Evil, it is a tool just like any other.

Keep in mind that I'm new to social media


Why?


Why have you not done the same?


Not sure what an appropriate response would be


Yup, I ageee. You still irritate me beyond belief because you keep popping up in my feed, but... you have beautiful eyes.


You're skipped over a vital aspect of conquest. The quicker an empire gains power, the faster it falls.

Duh. The goal is to push everyone onto UBI then control what they can and can't spend money on.


Also, they choose to ignore alternative methods of wealth preservation and growth. And the living conditions of the poor should not be of precedence to you. Sorry, but it is true.


Lol... what?


And devise multiple methods of bitcoin preservation.


So, then don't stop pestering the normies with economic education, no matter how much they hate it.


Do you care about the quality of beef your family eats? Do you want to help increase the falling cattle population in the US while also contributing to young farmers?

I'm buying a herd of bred heifers in June, so if you want to own some cows, have them rotationally grazed (vaccine and antibiotics free), be able to pick them up if you buy your own farm, sell them if you need the cash AND get a yield on their offspring, let me know.

$3-4k in bitcoin per head and no ongoing maintenance cost. And you get a prime spot to fish and camp near KC, 10 minutes from 3 wineries.

8 accounted for so far, 17 head left. These are breeder cows, not steers which should help with the sticker shock on that price tag.

Lock in your beef costs for life and secure your animal based protein supply while you can.

A touch different for someone in my financial sitch... but still crazy! 😅


Kids ain't cheap, luv! Especially in England!


Humanity doesnt mean anything. Neither does religion, philosophies, economics. It's all meaningless. Even Earth's existence is. Life will continues long after we're gone. Why waste time on religion?


No


Religion is worthless. It's a waste of time.


Still bringing up religion into the discussion. You won't agree or understand.


It's not just that!


For nearly a decade I've been trying. No one ever gets it.


Lol. This was all pointless. You're not a veteran, are you?


But humanity, as a whole, does have Deterministic Behaviors.


I'm aware they're not the same.


It will continue. It already is.


History repeats itself over and over, but through the use of different means.


Ya know, mate. It's okay to just admit that you didn't understand my perspective.


Good lord, mate! Because that's what the majority of nostr users whine and moan about. From what I've observed, they NEVER reach a point of comprehension... and the complaining just continues. Just give it a rest. Talk to each other, contemplate, and focus on ways to help each other take care of your loved ones. Let the cycle continue. If you've never witnessed war firsthand, you'll never understand my perspective.


Both. "Human Nature" and the "Nature of the Physical World" are nearly identical in substance.


"Culture precedes Law and Politics, gotta have a bottom-up cultural change of fiscal responsibility"

I'm not sure you'll understand... or perhaps you won't wish to. Humanity does advance, but it does not change, in terms of nature. In simple terms: humanity has an expiration date. Chaos is the natural order.


"It's the ruling class vs everyone else."

Such has been the ritualistic routine since the dawn of time. Let it run its course. Just do your best to protect those ya care for. Simple...🤷♂


One thing I've done my best to convince parents of is how much of a scam Healthcare is. And to teach their children the same. Coming from a family with a significant amount of generational wealth, I can tell you that you really don't need it. This is why asset accumulation should be initiated at the youngest age possible.


Never used Twitter. Based off of all the stories I've heard, it sounded like a net negative experience. I do hope you're correct about nostr still being in it's infancy stage. Although, I truly don't believe that nostr has proved social media can stray away from being a net negative for the majority of it's users.


As long as the state continues to give them free stuff for minimal or no effort, people will always be pro-centralization concerning certain aspects of everyday life. Let me ask you this: Do you, honestly, see a bright future for nostr, even after observing that 99% seems to be dedicated to social media usage? It seems like a potentially long-term waste of potential for the protocol as a whole.


Lol. Not always, mate.


I've never avoided any rabbit holes that I've stumbled upon. One, in particular, that I personally believe many would find shocking is how high casualty rates really are in the Middle East.


I can't deny it. I'm a touch nervous to see how my daughter will turn out as an adult.

Mornin'... and good afternoon!

I'm more of a tea kind of bloke. 🫖


People really don't realize how utterly dependent modern surveillance is on the idea that everybody is carrying a phone — which is always tracked. Their car has a cellular modem in it — which is always tracked. 99% of investigation is one guy and a search box. If you're not low-hanging fruit, you aren't gonna merit the Eye of Sauron of manual, well-resourced, focused team attention—and if you did, you probably planned ahead for it, right? Because it's not a mystery what would get you on Santa's Naughty List.

Anyway, the point is that even in a big city, the phoneless guy in a "covid" mask is going to be invisible to anything less than that exhaustive manual investigation — at least for a few more years. That may go away once they start networking all the cameras and having AI start trying to match up clothing sets moving from camera to camera, butthat capability is hard to hide, so it'll be in the news. And it won't work that well in places with less camera density and, perhaps, for people who wear the most-common outfits (the visual equivalent of a "shared fingerprint").

Remember: Phones are useful, but dangerous. And the people who will still wear covid masks to the beach are helping to normalize facial obscurity—regardless of their intention. Don't be mean to them. Encourage them to wear them everywhere. For passport photos. In police booking photos. At the customs desk. Family portraits! The sky is the limit—let them push the boundaries so that you don't have to.

I do agree with nostr:npub1zmc6qyqdfnllhnzzxr5wpepfpnzcf8q6m3jdveflmgruqvd3qa9sjv7f60 to a certain degree, though. A McDonalds breakfast isn't that unhealthy. And, he's right. As long as consumption is moderated, it's not too unhealthy. Body chemistry affects this significantly.

This can unravel in one of a few ways:

1. The global population will begin to come to their senses about how large of a scam fiat currencies and the global economy is and take action

2. They'll continue to rely on the government and corporations for everything and continue to whine and moan

3. The world's power players will just continue to stab each other in the back until extinction, which will lead to anarchy

4. Nuclear devastation 🤯

Earth has always gone through transformative cycles such as this. It's easy to blame the global population for this mess as a means to create a new market that world leaders can profit off of.

Humanity just needs to learn and accept the fact that they are not the masters over evolution. Neither our own nor the planet's. 🤷♂

I believe what he means by this is the difference in the two protocols. Ethereum being proof of stake and Bitcoin being proof of work. Proof of stakes core principles (infinite supply, no halvings) will enable whoever is mining the most Ethereum to have majority control over it's network, in due time, that is. That and coupled with the depreciation in value of the fiat currencies that are used to buy ETF shares. That will lead to a massive increase in the current supply. It seems like a lose-lose scenario, imo.

My daughter's quiet as well, at least at school. Terrible at making friends. She'll probably be homeschooled by my mum and aunt once she's finished with primaries.

Theoretically speaking, something like that could bloody well happen! 🤷♂ I'm willing to bet that a hefty portion of my holdings would be considered "lost" bitcoin my many. 🤣🤣🤣


🤔Gonna be a very interesting decade. We're witnessing the first time in human history where the common folk have the global economic advantage over the state. Cheers! 🍻


Lol! Not as many of those so-called "lost" bitcoins are actually lost. At least, not as many as you think. 😏

Unsurprising. To be honest, that's why I wasn't all too optimistic when i first showed up here a few months ago. I saw some bloke who goes by the username Karnage go off on some young lad named Michael J. Didn't even answer the kid's question 🤣. Just left the discussion in fumes. 🤷♂

Do you grow garlic?


Did I miss something?


Yep! Spot on, mate! I'm not too sure folk quite understand how cheap politicians really are 🤣😅! Ya give 'em £25k and they'll do as you ask. All ya gotta do is take a quick glance at the value of fiat currencies over the past half century in comparison to bitcoins value appreciation over the past 15 years to realize how economically and financially inept these fools truly are.


Liquiditations have been growing smaller over the past few months though. This is actually a positive signal. It's becoming clearer that market sentiment towards bitcoin is beginning to change and that more people are beginning to hodl instead of setting up long or short positions for worthless fiat.


No politician is as competent as people believe. Why do you think it's so easy for corporate leaders to buy them out? 😆 🤷♂ They just do what they're told like good little pups!

Good to hear! 👍

I'd be shocked if I ever end up tyin' the knot. Marriage isn't for everyone, I suppose. 🤷♂


Something that years of introspection and dating exhaustion has forced me to realize, and something everyone should ask themselves, in my opinion, given the huge changes in the dating realm 😅:

Do you want to have your standard traditional family, only a child, or both? Figuring out the answer to this can take alotta pressure off people when dating.

Lol. As ironic as it may sound, being a single parent made me realize that I only want a child. Dating a single mum is rather pleasant in this regard because we both want the same thing. We're both financially stable, but most of our time needs to be spent caring for our own little lass! So, we both date just for companionship, really. 🤷♂ LOL. No pressure.


Things are changing quite drastically. That's true. 😔 People can't keep up with the rapid acceleration of living costs anymore, so alotta lads have been losing interest in having families and finding a cozy place to live in with another mate.


Do ya mind if I ask you a personal question?


Lol! 😅 They don't seem all too interested in that alot of the time. And I can tell that they're just acting 🎬 much of the time when they do seem "interested". But, I also have really bad history when it comes to dating. I ain't goin' into that 😅😏! Sorry! To be frank, I just have bad taste in women... 🤷♂ There's a reason why I'm a SINGLE dad.


Lol! 🤣 I wasn't trying to suggest that all women are like that! I know they're not.


Generational wealth... 🤷♂ LOL! Plenty of downsides come with havin' it! 😅 Like creating a tendency to attract very shallow women.


Thongs are changing quite drastically. That's true. 😔 People can't keep up with the rapid acceleration of living costs anymore, so alotta lads have been losing interest in having families and finding a cozy place to live in with another mate.


If it makes ya feel any better, my daughter was born right before my 33rd birthday and a few months after her mum's 30th. So... you still have time.

Also, yes it is amazing. Not as mentally demanding as dating young, single women who have completely unrealistic standards and who only care about money.


Listen here, mate! I'm gonna be as blunt as possible about this and then I need to be on my way. Busy day ahead! A few vital truths that I've learned throughout my life:

1. Social media is terrible. Didn't take long for me to realize this. Even as a veteran, I'm a tad bit concerned over the amount of hostility and sullenness I've witnessed from people.

2. Money isn't real. Neither is inflation and deflation and all of the Keynesian rubbish that we've been taught throughout our lifetime. My grandad and my old man taught me this. All currencies expire in due time.

3. Spend your life collecting assets, not money.


I'm kind of hoping social media eventually dies out in general. To be frank, I've been pondering leaving Nostr for good recently. It being my first time using social media, instinctually it just feels like a net negative experience. There's an inherently massive undertone of sadness among it's users. 😔


😑🙄😮💨... money ain't real. Neither is economic inflation or deflation. Anyone with any sense will know what I mean.


Men who complain that women who are "rejecting abuse & control is them being 'too picky'" are men who just possess an overabundance of insecurity. That only looks bad on them. But, women have faults too. Much of the time I've noticed that women place too high of a significance on money. Quality men don't always possess wealth. Many wealthy men tend to be abusive and extremely degrading towards women.

I was never in denial about that. I've heard the nightmare stories. I was speaking from a strictly objective viewpoint. And Amazon has been quite brilliant with the implementation of their business model.

1. Top-notch customer service

2. An extraordinarily broad array of services

3. Well-placed warehouses over a global region

4. Near perfect trade and delivery routes

5. Many employees

Like I said: 'no empire lasts forever'

Even Bezos said this in a past interview.


... and yes. I agree. It is far too easy to get a woman pregnant. Lol! Trust me, I know!


Yes, but that's only part of the equation. The unfathomably high dating standards that many people nowadays adhere to are a huge factor as well. Many men seem to have very low standards when it comes to dating, while many women seem to have set their standards too high. It's not really any gender's fault. Financial and economic conditions have also played a huge role in the creation of such limitations on reproduction.


So... Snowpiercer isn't a science fiction film after all.


As someone who has been hodling for nearly a decade, I must say that bitcoin has been nothing short of miraculous when it comes to personal savings.


The foundational ideas behind Amazon's business model is, no doubt, revolutionary to retail, but no empire lasts forever. I can't help but wonder how much steam they have left. I imagine quite a bit.


Here's something that'll give ya a laugh: recently looked at the U.K. and U.S. debt clock. How on earth can Americans truly believe that the dollar is worth anything, let alone have less than a 5% inflation rate behind it, when there is well over $200 trillion in unfunded liabilities?! 😑😑😑


The incompetence of political, institutional, and corporate leaders becomes more apparent by the day.


Have my own copy sittin' in my library. Great read! 👍


Why don't they just come out and inform the world already about inflation and money not even being real?! 🙄🙄🙄


Impossible to deny that. I ordered my daughter a pair of sneakers about two, maybe three weeks ago. They were supposed to take three days to arrive, but they were there next morning right after I finished a dropping her off at school. 👍 You can imagine how excited she was. 😂

This video I copied from Spirko shows Iran before the CIA used manufactured student protests to destabilize and replace the Persian government with a harsh Islamic dictatorship which promised to give the CIA favorable access to resources.

The CIA does not “spread democracy”. In fact, they have often gotten dictators elected, who promised to give the US access to resources which would have been denied in a democracy.

The CIA, which has been a criminal organization since its founding, included high level Nazis brought over by Allen Dulles in Operation Paperclip, and has been directly involved in the destabilization and overthrow of at least 74 countries in the last 74 years. 1/3 of the world. https://video.nostr.build/d3470aafdbc40da0cea2a4a2aa237f06632a49cccacec65d8c1ff77fc8ea8a27.mp4

Question for the more experienced miners:
I have an S9 with braiinsos mining. Is there any way to not have it stop hashing entirely if you reset the power target?

To further explain, I want to be able to dynamically control the power usage of the miner. Having it shut off and take time to ramp back up wastes significant time and would defeat the purpose of dynamically controlling the power usage.

As to why I'm wanting to do this, I want to be able to build feedback loops to control the power based on user definable metrics such as fluid temperature or available "excess" solar power once my storage battery bank is charged.

A random thought.

-blackmail is a common control mechanism
-blackmailed individuals all have a fatal flaw like perversion, addiction, criminality etc that is severe enough to be exploited by blackmailer
- over a few hundred years blackmailed individuals are assisted into power and in turn hire as they are told.

Wouldn't this lead any empire to be top heavy with pervs, addicts and crimibals after a few generations?


Ain't nothin' new there, mate! 🤷♂

Let 'em destroy themselves. Lol. This is the way! Has been since the dawn of time.  😅


What? 😏


Correction: "All governments have created enemies to keep you scared of what those enemies might do to you. So they remain needed."


That there is no such thing as "serving your country" in the modern era. Learned this in the service. All you're really doing is volunteering to be Lucifer's right hand man.


To be frank, I'm actually quite glad that everything is beginning to unfold. The sooner the better.

How much attention do you need?


She only wanted money. That's it!


My daughter is high-value! No doubt! Her mum was not! She proved that time and time again by refusing to see her! Of course, there was a reason I didn't put a ring on it.


According to nostr:npub1m4ny6hjqzepn4rxknuq94c2gpqzr29ufkkw7ttcxyak7v43n6vvsajc2jl I'm misogynistic. So... I don't know! 🤷♂🤣


Then I suppose it's a good thing that I'm a single dad.


Not the case for everybody. But... ok.


Lol! 🙄🤣 Alright then... let's try this again. I said it was a subjective matter for each individual couple. If I marry a woman after which she gets pregnant two years later, then I'll just give her money and a portion of my assets to have for her own. I don't need a dowry for that. Then we get divorced eight years later when our child is eight years old. She'll have millions of dollars of worth of assets of her own. I'll never let her starve! Apologies, but "barefoot and pregnant"? Are you insane?! 🤨 I didn't even marry my daughters mum and she's doin' just fien thanks to me.


Lol. I meant the part about dowries. ONLY dowries. Women can own as much separate property as they want. 🤣 Why would I ever be against that?


😅 What did you think I meant?


Lol. I think you took this out of context a bit.


Agree with everything except the suggestion regarding dowries. But that's, no doubt, a purely subjective matter for each individual couple.


Lol. I mean... that's been obvious, no?


True enough. Or these forward thinkers will be ignored almost completely. A bit of both most likely. 🤔 A type of societal based modernistic natural selection.


There's also the fairly strong possibility that they don't want a new reality and instead are doing everything that they can do to return to the old ways. Cognitive dissonance can take a huge mental toll. A surprising amount of the global population flat-out doesn't like to learn and adapt to changing circumstances. 🤷♂


Oh, well then yes, that's true. Usually just for survival or for something that would grant them supposed improvement to their quality of life.


Do you mean generally speaking or within a particular context?

Sure, but unfortunately, many aren't anywhere near as rational as they've convinced themselves they are.


Lol. At least, you still have your youth. I'm turning 40 this year. 😭


Lol. Personally, I believe people have just become somewhat obsessed with finding a partner who fits their absolutely mental dating standards to a tee (🤣 thank you dating apps). This has made folk nowadays just a touch too picky and scared of commitment or any type of situation that requires emotional endurance (which we all know romantic relationships require much of 😅🤷♂).


It can be far more difficult (if even possible) for people with significant levels of empathy, compassion, and understanding to inflict harm onto others when necessary. Just sayin'.


That won't work. We've been doing that with this newest generation for some time and all it's done is soften them up and misdirect them.

Despite everything that is going on in Gaza and Ukraine and whatnot, people need to be capable of and willing to commit acts of violence, but not in the context of meaningless slaughter like the current conflicts that are going on. Although, violence in a strictly self defensive context is essential.


This makes me quite angry. As a war veteran myself I must agree with this man. They're no longer soldiers, they're war criminals. They should be put in prison. This is no different than what the U.K. and the U.S. has done to the Middle East. The cycle continues. 😔

Malicious actors don't try to exploit these insecurities. They have been doing so. In fact, they've nearly perfected it. It's a millenia old practice. Don't get too wound up over it. When it comes to love, both yourself and nostr:npub1m4ny6hjqzepn4rxknuq94c2gpqzr29ufkkw7ttcxyak7v43n6vvsajc2jl are spot on, imo. I would like to add something as well: many people nowadays seem to underestimate the amount of emotional endurance that's required during long-term relationships. They would rather use things such as dating apps that "match" you with others based on what online characteristics they present to you, when in reality it's just better to go out and meet someone and find out all those things during face-to-face interactions. Having some mutual characteristics doesn't mean you'll fall in love in any way 🙄.

Sorry nostr:npub1twanjtp3mr0ha65uzhug5xvr9vuh6h2gp52pau2rlxy5ta29qqwst5xjqh. One hyperactive six year old is enough 😅.


It's also their parents' fault. They should've been responsible enough to teach them instead of give up because it was too much of a hassle.


Nah, mate. I'll pass on that.


🤣😅 Is he referring to both of us?! This got weird REAL QUICK!


Paint that up yourself?


Lol! Yea, I mean... c'mon now. They're just entertainment 🤣. But, there at fault for that. They chose to look at works such as those as if they were guidebooks to finding love. 😅🤷♂


As do I! Even now that I'm on my second cup of tea!

Good afternoon! 👋


Well, I've never been "in" love. There are folk I love like my daughter and my mum. I'm more than delighted with them and certain other family members. They were the only ones who backed me up through particularly difficult moments moments in life. Too many peeps don't appreciate family enough (if at all) anymore.


Any great Indian recipes? Have a date this Friday.

How long have you been working for the CIA?


You don't have to follow us on nostr to be followed by us. Our IT intern has figured out how to run nostr nodes!


What's Jason Bourne's npub? We'd like to have a word.


Don't sweat it...

Same. Got about three hours of sleep last night. GN! 🌚


Sounds like propaganda being used to rally the civilian population against China. Typical intelligence agency practice.


No trouble marrying but plenty of trouble finding true love.


😅😏 Listen, ladies and gents, let's just be frank with each other about this instead of overthinking something all men who are involved in this discussion are already perfectly aware of: all ladies need a tad bit of drama in their life every now and then. Don't deny it ladies. 🤷♂ 😁


Lol. Honestly, I've been assuming that you and your husband are a decently wealthy couple. And I don't need to worry about the price of chicken legs. #humblebrag 😅😏


😅 I mean... that and similar lines of reasoning are fairly prevalent today among women. I would never go so far to say that it's the majority. But, behavior like that does seem to be a bit more predominant among younger age groups.


I have to go now, though. This was actually very nice. I've only spoken to one other person about the effects of my PTSD. There's a heavy stigma that can come with telling people such a thing.


I am too. Holding your child for the first time is an indescribably surreal experience.


Great question. To be blunt, war had made me the most ruthless of pessimists. I just didn't care how loony she was. I'm not like that anymore. Alot has changed since then.


Most haven't a clue. Some perfectly realize it.


She was just trying to guilt trip me, imo.


I'll tell you the worst situation I've ever been in with a woman and then I have started cooking breakfast 😁👍. This girl and I dated for just over two months. This was a little over a year after I was discharged, a year and a half about, and had just moved in to my parents' house. Like, literally hadn't even finished unpacking. Then out of knowhere one night when she was over she started goin' on about buying a second car and potentially selling the house and expanding the front yard. Lol! It was honestly a bit frightening.

She didn't take it well. Had a complete mental breakdown in my kitchen. Screaming her ass off and claiming I never loved her (which was true... sorry) and a bunch other horseshit that I can't recall. It was so weird. 🤷♂


I shouldn't have taken that brief nap earlier 😮💨. Lol.

Honestly, I can't keep up neither! 🤣😅 Because the women that I dated before enlisting were never this needy! That was way back in 2006. I was discharged in 2014.

Also, that's kinda what I was trying to hint at though. LOL!!! I agree! They aren't, in any way, in a position to demand! Female ego can be pretty off the wall these days. It can be quite scary to witness. It's no doubt a combination of excessive levels of insecurity and ego, imo.


Lol. Yea, probably.


Really?! Just 1:10000?! If that is true, then yea, it would be the best option. What about he-3?


In terms of supply, when dealing with fusion neutrons, how significant would it need to be to generate a reaction of that scale?


Fusion is certainly safer in terms of production. But, the process is far more time consuming and it has a higher potential to be cost-ineffective. Fission energy (as extremely dangerous as it is) has the potential to swiftly generate a massive amount of clean energy.


Knew it! And I'm flattered...

The same reason I just gave. There isn't enough data. There could be potential for space exploration, though perhaps we just haven't found enough evidence yet to ensure it as a certainty in any way. It's only 2024. We still have plenty of time. We might not even see it in our lifetime.


You could be right about that. There's certainly not enough publicly released data to come up with a definitive conclusion.


A billion dollars is pocket change for any nuclear power's black budget. They'll get around to it.


Luna might have the potential to be used as a resupply station. Although, generating a resource minimal supply line would be extremely challenging.


Alright, then. I see where you're goin' with this. Yea, you're right. Luna wouldn't provide anything in terms of energy or industry essential resources. Earth should be fine for quite some time, as long as we learn to properly utilize it's geothermal energy sources. Mars, most certainly, doesn't have anywhere near as much potential for geothermal energy production. Perhaps hydrothermal, though 🤔. Depends on the size of the subsurface water pockets that, most likely, lie there. You're on to something there. No doubt. Although, a long-lasting colonial population on Mars doesn't seem possible, imo.


I get that. 😅 We get the jitters just as much as you ladies when trying to chat someone up.


I don't mind if I like her enough. 🤷♂ No biggie!


I appreciate that. I just didn't want to stir up any unintentional drama. Amethyst being my first time using social media, I have noticed that many Nostr users have a tendency to be extremely sensitive to certain opinions.

No one likes a fibber... actually I get that. 😅 We get the jitters just as much as you ladies when trying to chat someone up.


No one likes a fibber!


Why waste all that time makin' your way to Jupiter? We most likely have a colonial settlement on Luna already.


Also, this was never meant to be a generalization. Apologies if it came off in such a manner.


More like girlfriends. My parents had a very healthy relationship, and I've observed plenty of other ones as well. Although, I feel as if I've observed an equal amount of toxic ones too.


There is something I need to say... and I don't want it to sound potentially misogynistic in any way. I am not in ANY regard. So... here it is: too many women love to play the victim. Gettin' all wound up about why they don't have this or that and trying to convince their partner why they deserve what they want (not what they need). Then (depending on the woman's level of toxicity) she'll begin to shame the man for not giving her what she wants or not being able to. It's even worse when the man has the wealth to get these materials for her but, just doesn't want to. 🤣😅🤷♂ Also, listen up ladies. Ya need to stop shaming men when they get emotional every now and then. We're all human. We feel emotions just as strongly as you most of the time. Lol. You're in a relationship to support one another, both physically AND mentally. People have too frequent a tendency to forget the latter.


My daughter is the same way towards many of her classmates. She needs to get better at making friends. 😅


I get it. I'm the same way towards my cousins. They're... simple. 😅😏


Your friends must absolutely adore it when you're constantly correcting them on everything. 😅🤣


I've always been somewhat speculative about whether my daughter possesses some level of autism. She becomes obsessed with certain things, like a particular song that she'll play on the piano for days (sometimes weeks) on end, or perhaps a painting that she'll try to copy herself to near perfection. She's becoming surprisingly good at playing chess as well. My mum has been teaching her how to play recently. I'll have to get her tested at some point.


Ahhh! Gotcha!


I imagine the former


Were you straightforward about it or did ya let 'em down easy?


Male logic: "Don't be daft! That'll never happen! 🙄"

Female logic: "Look here... you'll be searching for a mate your entire life if you hold on to standards such as those. I think, deep down, you know I'm talkin' sense here. I'm only tryin' to help you, love! 🫂"


Lol. Same age my mum was when she married my pops. Also, the same age I was when I enlisted. Right after university.


One quick cup of coffee and she thought they were together?! 👀 Sounds like the kind of woman I would expect to see skulkin' about my front gate if we ever met. 😅


I was WILD! My old man and I got into plenty of arguments over my irresponsibility. I was a touch spoiled. Shouldn't be a shocker 🤷♂.

Yup, I'm a tad bit jelly that you married young 😅. How young?


Yea, mine as well. I really ain't upset about that, though. My partying days were truly bonkers. LOL! Just some cocky little shit who thought he was better and knew better than everyone. Joining the military only made it worse, for a time 😅. I really only drink once or twice on the weekends now. 🤷♂


I've never tried cooking indian food myself. 🤔 You are giving me some brilliant ideas for my date this Friday though. She's a big seafood fanatic! I'll have to look up some good Indian seafood recipes.


No need to feel any sort of guilt for these women. They do it to themselves. 🤷♂ LOL! They choose to put their narcissism on full display. The consequences are their own. They should be perfectly aware that they don't deserve a high-quality bloke. Oh well!

I'm happy for you and your husband, btw. I don't think I'll get married. Honestly, I'm fine with that. Things are plenty cosy as is. I have enough to focus on. Luckily, not dinner though. Nan's over tonight to take care of that. 😅


I love indian food! But, it's just too bloody spicy most of the time! 🔥


Yea, I had a rather severe drinking issue for years after I  left the service. Then I knocked up my daughters mum and everything changed almost overnight. 🤷♂

I understand. Alcoholism can make people do some truly loony things. Best of luck with that 👍🙏! For real.


Now, now. No need to sell yourself short, mate.

😂 That's true! Many ladies nowadays pretty much chase any man that fits some type of heavily romanticized stereotype. Female dating standards can be absolutely mental!


Yes, indeed. I actually just went on my first date in five months last night. My cousin introduced the two of us. Honestly, it was so refreshing to go out with a woman who doesn't stare at you like you're a giant bank account 👀👀👀. Gets old right quick 😂! She's a single parent as well. Works at her local pharmacy. Seein' her again next weekend! 🙏

... lol. I don't get out much. Quite obvious, no?


Its such a bizarre mindset, imo. 🤔 People like that will put in an immeasurable amount of mental and physical effort in to flaunting everything they've got. Yet, put absolutely none in to expanding their generational wealth for their children (if they ever have any that is). Blokes like this usually just end up leaving their kids with nothin' but debt. 🤷♂ And usually have fairly dysfunctional families.


I can't deny that. I have a decent number of childhood mates whose pockets are nearly empty now! 🤷♂🙄 They spent the majority of their inheritance on partying and going on expensive vacations and whatnot. Many of them seem to have very little, if any, ambition whatsoever. To be frank, this is fairly common behavior. Luckily, my parents taught me right.


It's an incredibly multifaceted dilemma. The two largest and most influential determinants seem to be that all forms of media (which the youngest of our global population seem to be obsessed with) have essentially become a means of indoctrination for the most mentally vulnerable (which we seem to have in abundance these days) and sky high living expenses. I could go on but, I'm no author. 😅🤷♂


Doesn't mean you shouldn't work ya ass off, though. Money don't last forever, mate! 🤷♂ I spent a fair amount of time selling what was left of my granddad's art collection. Quite a bit of flights. Not as fun as it sounds 😅.


Well, you're spot on with that one. 👍


The man or the weapon? Because the AK does handle very nicely!


Thanks! We actually have somethin' set up for this Friday. Gonna have to improve my culinary skills right quick!


Mornin'! ☀👋 Date went well, by the way. 😁

Still recovering... 😅


Have a good one! 👍


It's Friday night. Go have a pint or two. I'm on my third. 🍻


🙄🙄🙄 Humanity has an expiration date. Simple as that. Form of government just gives us an indication of how soon such a transformation will occur. Anyway, I need to leave. Have a good one!


Wrong again! I shouldn't even have to explain this. 🙄


I was never worried


Taking a life is the worst


Governments are the largest mistake in human history. We've never had a genuinely well-intentioned and effective one. Those who took control took advantage of human laziness and used it for conquest. We're seeing the same situation today. With the same same consequences. 🤷♂


In case their was any confusion. I meant nostr:npub1m4ny6hjqzepn4rxknuq94c2gpqzr29ufkkw7ttcxyak7v43n6vvsajc2jl's opinion was shortsighted and naive. 👍


This entire discussion is based off of unrealistic optimism and naivete. Do not listen to a single word of this nonsense. As a father and war veteran, I can tell you that this opinion is an extremely shortsighted perspective. This actually frustrates me quite a but. 🤔


Sure... unless the state decides to imprison us all first. 🤷♂


I can't help but wonder if I'll accidentally bump into nostr:npub1aemj48k9pu7xvn8rtqaz84leuqmdfc6n7ydffvk3zyf3vhfaemvq6820rd, nostr:npub1z9d8vyln96cyndmkwqmvt26qyjchzy5ttqre7994cf0v5een82vqdtdctk, or nostr:npub1jcjxjg92200kdp8guw8sysg8gr0ez29hahrfdy49h30hgnkpa4kqfvmtwx since my cousins and I will be in the West End later tonight. 😂🤔


Blunt honesty is better than none.


They most certainly aren't! I haven't the slightest clue how you came to that conclusion.

Tourism would cease to exist without me. 🤷♂

You might be the first Londoner I've met on Nostr. 🤔


At around 3:45am last night, someone dumped an (almost) never ending bucket of water over London. That, and lightening every 1 minute for at least 40 mins. Lived in London my whole life and never seen lightening like that. However, I have seen rain like that before cos, you know, London 🤷🏽♀


I'm never leaving London! 😎👍


While simultaneously contradicting Bitcoin's decentralized nature. FYI, be VERY cautious when trusting Mr. Dorsey and Mr. Mallers. Always coinjoin your BTC holdings. 👍


Did he do or say something that has angered everyone?


Yup! Without question.


That was the year I enlisted! 😅 And, yea, I know about Australia. They're still plenty strict 🤷♂. Nothing has significantly changed over there.


The UK really does need to loosen up their gun control laws. It can be unbelievably tedious trying to obtain a firearms certificate! 🙄
