 Your muscles get sore because of a buildup of Lactic Acid. When you are exercising, “The Burn” is your muscle strings pulling apart. This lactic acid fills in the space where your muscles were, And becomes new muscle. Massaging muscles you exercise helps to move the lactic acid around in your body and you get less sore because of this. Otherwise just keep exercising, You get use to the sensation over time and your body builds up enough muscle that it becomes familiar with the repetition, And you get less sore.

 I once saw a whole shop dedicated to knockoff sunglasses in San Diego. If Jersey Shore had a west coast cousin it’s midtown San Diego. 
 also why is food in the US worse than europe? this is a new thing and i hate it 
 Because America was built on the premises of “Bring me your hungry, Your tired, Your poor”. Popular culture makes middle class life accessible for everyone, While at the same time stripping people of their cultural identity to make them more easily assimilate into the labour class. Lots of fun facts about this dynamic. The human rights movement was only partially ratified in America wherein European human rights are universal, Because central banks gonna print anyway. In the name of capitalism is the only reason foreign investment comes from Europe into the United States. Berlin is pretty much the bottom of the bucket when it comes to old world wealth. Before you die, Visit some micro nations, (Monaco, The Vatican, Andorra, The old city of London aka Londinium aka the square mile aka the corporation of London. It is really a tragedy what happened there, Both in terms of the Holocaust and in terms of the “Elite” funding Hitler to stem Bolshevism in the west. Remember kids, When you bet on both sides of the quarter, You win every time!

 KINSHASA, Aug 26 (Reuters) - The government of the Democratic Republic of Congo is opposed to a proposal by Chemaf SA to sell its copper and cobalt mines in the country to China's Norin Mining, according to a document seen by Reuters.
Chemaf, a long-time partner of commodities trader Trafigura, said in June it had agreed to sell its mines in Congo to the unit of Chinese state-backed defence and industrial giant, China North Industries Corp (CNIGC.UL) (Norinco).
Chemaf put itself up for sale last year due to a cash crunch that was stalling the expansion of its Etoile and Mutoshi projects in Congo as cobalt prices slumped.
Kizito Pakabomba, Congo's mines minister, said the deal is in breach of state miner Gecamines' lease agreements with Chemaf and recommended that the transaction be stopped, according to the minutes of a council of ministers' meeting on Friday seen by Reuters.
The council of ministers adopted the ministry of mines' recommendation that the transaction be halted.
"Considering the flagrant violation of the clauses of the farm-out contract between Gecamines and Chemaf, it was recommended that the current transaction be halted following Gecamines' opposition," the minutes said.

 That’s what you get for looking like a liberal weirdo. Jkjk. But seriously, Germany just legalised weed. WTF? 
 Surprise, surprise!

Donald Trump is a shitcoiner. 
 Fuck Donald Trump! 
 “With respect to the survival of traits characteristic of the ante-predatory savage culture the case is in some degree different. The sheltered position of the leisure class favors the survival also of these traits; but the exercise of the aptitudes for peace and good-will does not have the affirmative sanction of the code of proprieties. Individuals gifted with a temperament that is reminiscent of the ante-predatory culture are placed at something of an advantage within the leisure class, as compared with similarly gifted individuals outside the class, in that they are not under a pecuniary necessity to thwart these aptitudes that make for a non-competitive life; but such individuals are still exposed to something of a moral constraint which urges them to disregard these inclinations, in that the code of proprieties enjoins upon them habits of life based on the predatory aptitudes. So long as the system of status remains intact, and so long as the leisure class has other lines of non-industrial activity to take to than obvious killing of time in aimless and wasteful fatigation, so long no considerable departure from the leisure-class scheme of reputable life is to be looked for. The occurrence of non-predatory temperament with the class at that stage is to be looked upon”

 You would probably be a prostitute instead of a coder by now. Most models careers are over by the time they are 19 and sex work is a natural alternative. 
 Tether is the largest buyer of treasuries. It is also the way the secret service and the fbi monitor money laundering between the Mexican cartel and the Chinese triads. The government is literally funded with money from the fentanyl trade.

 You know Broomfield has a special tax jurisdiction for corporations that hold 10 million dollars and up in Assets? I guess strip malls are only so profitable, As in not profitable at all. 
 If Satoshi’s identity was revealed, would it change anything for you?

Fuck doxxing btw. 
 My best guess is Len Sassman. He actually did kill himself just after Bitcoin picked up momentum in 2011, And his desire to be humble and love his wife, While fighting an obsolete and oppressive banking system seeps to be a pretty logical reason why. I think what would change something for us all would be if those coins got hacked, Or redistributed.

 Yeah. Still just Laser cannons that really are at all effective. 
 Very articulate. I would just add a few points for Color to this. 

1 Market cycles determine the Israeli ability to wage war in the region. If you look back over the past 30 years, Around this time every ten years conflict has erupted, And it is around the boom and bust cycle of the Fed. Clinton with Yassir Arifat, Then again with Obama and the Arab spring, And now With Biden and Ukraine. The Fed plays money changer to the world like the Jews did in the temple with the romans leading up to the Bar Kochba revolt. 

2 Washington is secular, But the central banks to have religious loyalties, However are not outright traditional. The traditional values of the Saudis are not reflected in a central bank, But they are in a private family. The Herodim have a far more decentralised store of wealth, And the notion that Jews control central banks is far more dispersed than the Islamic brotherhood. It will be interesting to see the traditional values influence culture and finance over time, But that will definitely take generations, And I think China is the most significant partnership for the Saudis, And we see how much China likes Islam (Uighurs).

3 another end times perspective is the restoration of the pyramids with the return of the gold capstone. I am not so familiar with this conspiracy, But I think there is a cohort in Washington that uses Christianity to try and bring about the end times. I think these ideas have roots in Rosicrucian occultism and it all gets very doom and gloomy. It’s pretty hard to see how things will actually progress, But I don’t think just moving to El Salvador is going to prevent anyone from dying in a global religious apocalypse, However I do think there is a good chance financial markets are polarising, And many people with religious paranoias could be limited by financial conditions. It will take more than four years for a mass exodus of Jews to the holy land, And if Netenyahu is trying to bring about the apocalypse he better hurry up. 

Very insightful post, I look forward to hearing more in the future.
