 Party of liars.

 💯 accurate

Anyone who’s played Sid Myers Civ Series or read any of the following books know this is the playbook. 

Animal Farm, 1984, Brave new World, Fahrenheit 451, The Giver or even newer books like Enders Game discuss these ideas.

 I mean no disrespect to her but I was very turned off by the grifter mentality she portrayed when I connected with her on Orange Pill App.  I Was traveling in El Salvador a few months ago (with my wife and oldest son) and she wanted a $200 consulting fee to meet with her after I simply asked her to put me in touch with a local realtor she had faith in and that spoke English.

@Susiebdds You absolutely must listen to Ed Dowd on Brett Weinsteins (Darkhorse) Pod. 
Its rather short and is some of the best info on this subject to date. 
 Game theory should suggest that you have a potential downside from a “vaccine” that you yourself know doesn’t do what its supposed to do. 
Even if its a small chance of dowside, why take it?

I also think hes a smart guy and he’ll be very subversive from here on out because nobody has ever questioned him before.  
His business model is threatened by self custody. 
I expect him to keep moving further away from our self interests to protect his own. 
 Hopefully

 Find a natural path to explore the Root causes. 
Even if you don’t initially solve your issue, you’re making positive changes in your overall health. 
I have heard sooo many stories like this.

 Thats been my experience also. 
I used to work with this kid, he had a ton of food allergies, mostly dairy/ gluten but he maintained mostly carnivore during a 16 week strength routine we did.  He texted me a year or so later and said he could eat all that stuff now without issue.
—it was moderate consumption because he liked the way he felt on carnivore but I thought that was amazing that he no longer had to be so careful.

 Hopefully your working in a ton of fermentation into your diet.

At first glance it all sounds great. It requires some study to quickly realize the thin veneer of bullshit.

 Dear Bitcoiners on #nostr,

 My sexuality is my business and yours is yours.  Recently had this exact debate with a friend of my sons who told me that “gay people should have rights” I just said what kind of rights?  You mean “human rights”? 
Yes. -Yes they should have those.  Last I checked, they had them.
They don’t have the right to proclaim it to the world and expect me to celebrate it. 

The whole thing is a word game for the mid-wits of the world. 
 Flushing out leverage or manipulation. Either way: Buy the #Bitcoin dip and HODL 
 @CarlBMenger 
What are your thoughts on options trading for bitcoin?
Net positive or no? 
 I know I will get a lot of hate for this

But at what BTC price will you start taking some profit... 
 Hoping to borrow against instead of ever selling any. 
Im not in need so I can wait for that to develop. 
 I don’t hate this.  As long as you’re buying more as you go, might be a great philosophy

 500 Follower Celebration!

Firstly, Id like to show some gratitude towards a few fellow bitcoiners here on Nostr that really continue to inspire me. 🍻

Today I gave up a 17year account on Reddit in celebratory sacrifice.  I will no longer post on reddit again. 

So Im old enough to remember when “slashdot effect” was  a thing and thinking Digg was going to be what reddit became…
Anybody remember Digg?  Fuck im old…

In any event I love you guys. 
Consider this a “zapathon”
-Any new follows, reposts, or thoughtful comments are getting a 3 digit zap.  

Please repost or boost ⚡️⚡️ 
 3 weeks or so.
I try to post in my breaks usually a bit everyday.  Im semi retired so I have a fair bit of free time now that my boys are grown.

The Most traction you will get will be when you are first to reply in a BIG users thread that looks interesting.  Those threads get a ton of views and if you are adding value, people will follow you.

Focus on the big users ypu really like.  Interact with everyone in those threads and make friends!
☕️
🧡🍻👊🏻🥩 
 Also a lot of users on Nostr disengage and don’t interact.  In fact retention is close to 1%.
Focus your energy on the active users.  Some of the big accounts have 120k followers but if they post, only get a few thousand views since most are dormant.

 Yep.  I remember when reddit was new and everyone was super helpful. 
Now its a Toxic echo chamber bot fest.

 I like intermittent fasting for people that struggle with snacking.  I used to do it but once you break that snacking on bullshit habit, I find it just difficult to eat enough protein daily.  
As we get old, we lose muscle mass and gain fat.  —This is the biggest concern I have for older people that are otherwise healthy.  

I still like the idea of fasting for 4-6 days at a time though.  Maybe a couple times a year.
Your Body does some nice house cleaning when you fast. Those hunger stressors on the body cause a lot of positive genes to turn on more frequently too.
