Coracle now has closed groups! Read about why I built them the way I did, what's possible, and what's coming.

This is a long form article, you can read it in https://habla.news/a/naddr1qqxnzdesxs6rjvfjxqurqvesqgsf03c2gsmx5ef4c9zmxvlew04gdh7u94afnknp33qvv3c94kvwxgsrqsqqqa28zalvec

Today marks the biggest release so far in Coracle's history. There have been many good days, like when I introduced Coracle to the nostr telegram group, or when I got my fellowship with FUTO, or when I got my grant from OpenSats, or when I got to speak at Nostrasia. But in terms of realizing the vision I've had for the software - for over two years - today is the day.

Coracle now has private groups.

This means you can now send almost any nostr event over an encrypted channel to the rest of the group's members. This is substantially different from group chats, in that it uses rotating shared keys to provide weak forward secrecy, better scaling, and dynamic member access. This more closely approximates one of the most popular social media products in existence - The Nostr is now a direct competitor of The Facebook.

I built this for my community. I wanted something "good enough" to entice people to leave the advertising-fueled surveillance honeypot that is Facebook. In order to work, it needed to at least support notes, events, and marketplace listings. Although support is still quite basic, Coracle has checked all three of these boxes.

Before I get into the details though, it's important to mention that these groups should not be considered "private" any more than Facebook groups or Mastodon servers are (although privacy is substantially better). A better analog might be WeChat, which uses encryption with the same set of trade-offs. So don't post anything to private groups that might get you in trouble!

With that said, it's possible to run a highly private group. The backbone of this spec is e2e encryption, but relay selection can play an important part in hiding metadata from the rest of the network. If you have a relay you trust to protect notes and not share metadata, your security is significantly increased.

# Prior art

Nostr-compatible group products aren't a totally novel thing, as it turns out. In fact draft [NIP 112](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/580/files) has been around since June, and is already implemented in [ArcadeCity](https://arcade.city/). So why am I creating a new standard? I'l get into the positive benefits of my approach more below, but the quick answers are:

- The new [encryption standard](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/746) is going to break compatibility anyway. If we can end up with a better spec, now is the time.
- ArcadeCity development seems to have stalled.
- NIP-72 communities already have a ton of traction, and match what I'm trying to achieve with encrypted channels.

Of course I'm highly indebted to the project, the design of which is still visible in my final design.

Another product that exists to do something similar in a nostr-compatible way is Soapbox by Alex Gleason. This is a great project, particularly since his Mostr project bridges the ActivityPub world and Nostr. ActivityPub works well for highly centralized communities, but the architecture suffers from this centralization too. In particular, not even DMs are e2e encrypted, and just like regular notes are protected only by authentication enforced by servers.

Finally, there's NIP 29, which is fiatjaf's competing groups project. This has some interesting properties, for example the ability to "fork" a group by linking events together. However, similar to ActivityPub it relies exclusively on relays to protect user privacy, and in a fairly non-standard way. You do get to take advantage of nostr's multi-master architecture though, and signatures are also stripped from events in order to discourage propagation through the network.

None of these solutions quite satisfied me, so I built my own.

# How it works

One of the coolest things about a NIP 72 community-based group spec is that is supports a spectrum of privacy requirements. A group admin might choose to publish group metadata privately so that it's only visible to the group, publicly so that other people can find the group and ask to join, or leave off a private component entirely.

Likewise, since private groups are backwards-compatible with public communities, it's easy to add a private component to existing groups. This can be useful especially for groups run by a business or content publisher, since public exposure is a good thing but certain group members might have more or less access. This could be used to support a patreon-type model, automating group membership based on subscription tier, for example.

An important aspect of the design that makes automation possible is the concept of a dedicated administration key. By decoupling this key from the original creator of the group, ownership can be shared as simply as sharing the key. This allows multiple admins to manage the group simultaneously either manually or using automations built into the group relays or special purpose bot-clients.

This of course raises the issue of admin access revocation, which isn't possible - that is, until we have a solution for key rotation for normal accounts. Once that's in place, the same process can be used to rotate group admin keys.

In the meantime, it's also trivial to reduce the exposure an admin key gets. You wouldn't generally want to simply paste the key wherever it's needed, but luckily that problem has already been solved as well. Instead of giving every admin or admin bot the key, it's trivial to set up an nsecbunker that authorizes each admin client - and can revoke access as needed.

This level of administration is of course fairly complex, but I think it's important to think through the requirements businesses and other advanced users will eventually impose and anticipate them as we're able, not through over-engineering, but through simple concepts that can be reused.

One other neat feature of this NIP is the definition of invite codes, which are essential for running a private group at any kind of scale. When requesting access to a group, a user can send along a "claim", which can be anything - for example a static invite code, a payment receipt, or an explanation of why they want to join. This claim can be validated by hand by a human, or processed by a bot to instantly admit the new member to the group.

When a new member is admitted to the group, the admin can either share an existing access key with them, or they can rotate the key for the entire group. If relays expire access keys after a certain amount of time, this can create a weak form of forward secrecy, where attackers won't be able to access old content, even if they gain access to the admin key.

# Limitations and Future Work

The bar for new nostr clients has risen significantly since I first put Coracle out there. The new groups component is far more mature than Coracle was for much of its early life, but it has its rough edges. Many of these just need to be smoothed out through further UX work, but some are more technical in nature.

- The groups spec relies on NIP 44, which isn't yet available in most signer extensions. That means that unless you log in with your private key (please don't), you won't be able to create or gain access to any private groups.
- Hybrid groups (public groups with a private area) aren't really tested yet, or fully supported in Coracle's UI. It's an open question whether this is even a good idea, since it becomes pretty hard for users to know if they're posting publicly or privately in every context.
- Moderation is not implemented, so if you're creating a public group there is currently no way in Coracle to approve posts. Also, groups created in Coracle don't show up in Satellite for some reason — this is something I'll be working on improving.
- Whether this approach actually scales is another question. It's very hard to build member lists of hundreds of thousands of people, and without a relay helping to filter events, it might become prohibitively expensive to download and analyze all the events posted to a group. We'll see what develops as the design matures and the implementation undergoes stress testing.

# Conclusion

Something I like about both nostr and bitcoin is that it empowers the users of the software. The corollary of this of course is that it's important to exercise this power with care - real damage can be done with this group spec, just as real damage can be done to bitcoin holders through low entropy key generation or poor key handling practices. So please, if you're going to implement this spec, communicate clearly with your users its limitations, and encourage them to run their own relays.

Nevertheless, I am stoked to be another 1% closer to my goal of helping my community - and anyone else who uses nostr - to exercise individual sovereignty and protect their freedom and privacy. Let's keep at it.


Boycotts are Stupid, Not Doing Business with People is Not

People seem to confuse these two things often. Those who are not shopping at Target right now or are no longer drinking Bud Light, most of them anyway, are not boycotting. Rather, they are withholding business.

Let me be clear; these are not the same thing. Boycotting is a tool of leverage, it is organized and designed to change the behavior of the entity you are boycotting. It is a form of legal blackmail in a way. Do this thing or stop doing that thing, and we will buy from you again. Boycotts are like strikes by a union; they can be called off, and the workers sent back to the line.

In general, boycotts are a tool used almost exclusively by the left. Why wouldn’t they be, the left loves to “organize”, the left loves power and the left loves bureaucracy. The left is also full of followers, after all, they are progressive and above all collectivists. So when a central authority (generally the media) tell them, “Orangeman Bad”, they all repeat “Orangeman Bad”. When the TV tells them “get your vaccination and wear a mask”, they comply and shout violently at those who do not.

We have all seen this play out heavily over the past 6 years, it is so clear now it can’t be denied. If you deny this at all, I suggest you head back to your nice pasture and graze on forbs and clovers. The left is a group of followers, the right is more like a groups of prides of cats, they follow too, they just don’t follow en masse. They are less collectivist and less organized and less bureaucratic. They don’t do boycotts. Don’t get me wrong, some special triggered little right-wingers call for them, it is just the right en masse does not follow, and they are not ordered to do it (passively aggressively) by the media.

Let’s go back to striking workers as an analogy and it should make what is happening right now more clear. In a strike, the union bosses gin up anger in the workers, they threaten the company; if the company caves, the union bosses are heroes. If the company does not cave, with no real sacrifice themselves, the union bosses call a strike. Obedient workers leave the lines and carry signs, chant, or just go home and binge Netflix. One day then the bosses on both sides reach an agreement. The workers go back to the line. The cycle continues. Keep in mind we are talking boycotts here not “cancel culture” which is where individuals are attacked vs. companies.

Now think of a company that has no union workers, no strikes of the above type are really possible. But this company really does start messing over their people. People start to quit, the company may or may not fix the problem at first. But the people who quit are not on strike (not a boycott) they just find another job. They are by and large NEVER coming back to work at the previous company. It isn’t a negotiation, it is simply withholding labor from the entity. If the company is really stupid and keeps doubling down on their stupid behavior, more people leave. In time the company may find it can’t hire people fast enough.

Employees start looking around as the best of them always leave first. The ones who are the most marketable, the smart ones, they have options. It starts to look like rats swimming off a ship at sea, the writing is on the wall, the ship is going down. Panic sets in and everyone heads for the door. The company may or may not recover but it wasn’t a strike, it wasn’t a walk out, it was a walk away.

In the current woke world, people feel their children are being attacked, it is about as low as you can go to attack a child. So when they put a transsexual influencer on a beer can, for a beer brand that screams “American Values” of the working man, well, it becomes a “walk away”. I think my feelings about this are well known, but my feelings about such things are not relevant to this article. This is simply a technical analysis. This is what is happening with brands right now like Target, Bud Light and Disney. People are walking away, they are not demanding a change in behavior. When a person attempts to harm your child, you are a fool if you let them back into your home, are you not?

Most parents love their children more than their own lives. Once this became to them an attack on their children, their grandchildren, the little kids next-door, their nieces and nephews, etc. it was no longer a subject of negotiation. Of course, the problem for these folks is almost every major brand is part of this movement at this point. We won’t get into why today, just accept that they are. If you doubt that a group of pride marchers carrying a Raytheon Banner [https://www.instagram.com/p/CtZ2MKprLtU/]() should end your doubts. We are talking Raytheon who sells weapons to nations like Saudi Arabia who brutally executes gay people in their own nation.

This leaves those on the right with very little choice. It is either buy nothing from any major corporation, computers, phones, cars, door knobs, food, etc. You get it right? Yes, you can “buy local” on some things or make your own on others but in the end, modern life is really great because of a global distribution system. If you audit your home right now, there are likely materials in it from more than 50 countries, and it was all brought there by corporations.

So the right has made a decision, as individuals that is also collective. They have made it both consciously and subconsciously. The conscious part is for example Bud Light. The guy that stops for a 6 pack a few times a week on the way home from some tough type of construction work or something like that, is never buying Bud again, ever. It is done, it is a conscious personal decision. The subconscious part though is he is doing this selectively not across the board. The pick-up truck he drives is likely made by a “woke company” too. The smartphone playing streaming country music in the truck is too, as is the signal coming to the phone.

He can’t stop using everything. So what the right is doing is choosing to abstain from the ones who commit the most in his face attacks on what he sees as his values. Yes, Miller sponsored a gay pride parade in Denver, (if he even knows this) but they didn’t stick it in his face. He’ll get the Miller Light today, then continue to drive his F150, use his iPhone, and pay his AT&T bill. But he is not going to Target ever, he is not buying Bud and if someone else does something he sees equal again, he will not walk out, rather walk away.

This is sadly not a winning strategy. InBev owns Bud and has 100s of brands, most of the guys like this will end up with another brand owned by InBev, their money is going to the same place, the same people, in the end, they just don’t care. They just want what most sane people want, to be left the heck alone. So the people and companies that won’t leave them alone, they avoid. They are the line worker who is in

 one plant without a union that gets fed up and quits, they get a job at another factory that on the back end is owned by the same parent company. But they have better pay, better hours, a better boss, and better conditions. His paychecks end up in the bank on time, so he simply goes on with life.

These market effects of the right again are not boycotts. They are not designed to change behavior in a negotiation and no central authority calls for them. The media doesn’t encourage the right or hold them up as heroes when they stop buying from any given company. The right doesn’t in general obey central authority anyway, it is better to use reverse psychology upon the right to steer behavior, but that is a subject for another day.


Note to The Nostr: The air is fresher and the water is clearer after removing myself from AT&T.

silent.link and voip.ms together, work just as well if not better, are far less expensive and are not in the business of perverting children.

Just laying it out for all to see. This is straight out of ChatGPT in case you couldn't already tell. Obviously it's incomplete, but useful to see the "common knowledge" arguments side by side.


Pro-Life:
The case of the argument against banning abortion on the basis of protecting viable human life from the moment of conception, the steelmanned position might include the following points:

* Definition of Human Life:
  This perspective asserts that human life, with its inherent value and rights, begins at conception. The argument posits that from the moment of conception, the embryo or fetus is not just a potential human life but an actual human one, with its own unique genetic makeup.

* Right to Life:
  The fundamental principle in this argument is the right to life, which is considered an inalienable right that should be protected from conception onwards. This standpoint views the fetus as an individual with rights, primarily the right to life, that should be respected and protected like any other human being.

* Scientific Considerations:
  Proponents of this view may argue that scientific evidence supports the belief that human life begins at conception. They might point to biological facts such as the presence of a unique DNA and the initiation of a distinct human life cycle at conception.

* Moral and Ethical Consistency:
  The argument may assert that to maintain moral and ethical consistency, society must protect all human life, regardless of its stage of development. This stance rejects the idea that the value of human life is contingent on development stages or the capacity for self-awareness.

* Slippery Slope Concerns:
  The argument might express concern about a slippery slope in ethics and law. If society begins to qualify what constitutes viable human life based on development stages, it may lead to broader moral implications about the value and protection of life in other contexts.

* Alternative Solutions:
  Those supporting this viewpoint may advocate for alternative solutions to abortion, such as improved adoption systems, better social support for pregnant individuals, and more comprehensive sex education and birth control access to prevent unwanted pregnancies.

* Respect for Diverse Beliefs:
  This perspective may also argue for the need to respect and accommodate diverse beliefs regarding the beginning of life and the moral status of fetuses, suggesting that a legal ban on abortion imposes a specific belief system on all members of society.

This steelmanned argument represents a coherent and strong version of the position against banning abortion on the basis of protecting viable human life from the moment of conception. It combines ethical, moral, and scientific considerations, aiming to present a comprehensive rationale for this viewpoint.

Pro-choice:
The argument against the viewpoint that abortion should be banned to protect viable human life from the moment of conception, one would present the strongest arguments for why abortion should not be prohibited based on this premise. Here are the key points:

* Autonomy and Bodily Integrity:
  This argument emphasizes the importance of a person's autonomy over their own body. It asserts that forcing someone to continue a pregnancy against their will is a violation of their bodily autonomy and integrity. The right to decide whether and when to bear a child is seen as a fundamental aspect of personal freedom and self-determination.

* Definition of Personhood:
  This perspective challenges the notion that personhood and the associated rights begin at conception. It argues that personhood is a complex and gradual process that is not solely defined by biological factors. The ability to feel pain, self-awareness, and viability outside the womb are often cited as critical milestones in this process.

* Women's Health and Safety:
  Advocates for this viewpoint argue that banning abortion doesn't stop abortions but leads to unsafe, unregulated procedures. Access to legal abortion is considered essential for protecting the health and lives of pregnant individuals, particularly in cases where the pregnancy poses a risk to their health or is a result of rape or incest.

* Social and Economic Impact:
  The argument includes the perspective that unintended or coerced pregnancies can have significant social and economic impacts on individuals and society. It emphasizes the need for individuals to have the ability to plan and space their children for their own well-being and for the good of their existing or future families.

* Quality of Life Considerations:
  This viewpoint posits that every child should be a wanted child. It argues that children born into situations where they cannot be adequately cared for, loved, or supported face potential negative outcomes that affect their quality of life.

* Legal Precedent and Privacy Rights:
  The argument often references legal precedents that have recognized the right to privacy, which includes the decision to have an abortion. It asserts that personal medical decisions should be made by individuals and their doctors, not by the government.

* Moral and Religious Diversity:
  This perspective respects the moral and religious diversity of society and argues that laws banning abortion impose a particular set of moral or religious beliefs on everyone. It advocates for the right of individuals to make decisions based on their own beliefs and values.

By focusing on autonomy, the complexity of personhood, health and safety, social and economic impacts, quality of life, legal precedent, and respect for diverse beliefs, this steelmanned argument presents a comprehensive and strong case against the idea of banning abortion solely on the basis of protecting viable human life from the moment of conception.

Assange Key FACTS
(Summery by Dr. Deepa Driver)

1) - #Assange’s legally privileged conversations have been extensively spied upon by the US.

2) The key witness in the US case against Assange is a convicted paedophile & fraudster who admits to fabricating the evidence in exchange for FBI deal.

3) #Assange faces 175 years in a US supermax for revealing 100% true information. He will be tried under the Espionage Act which has no public interest defense & won’t be allowed First Amendment protections. This criminalises journalism

4) The US is playing bully boy by seeking to extradite #Assange who is not a US citizen and didn’t undertake journalistic activity in the US.

They want to hide #torture & #WarCrimes. Other repressive states will follow

5) The judges cannot & should not not rely on the US diplomatic assurances provided at the 11th hour . Such assurances have been proven to be unreliable.

6) The US-UK extradition arrangements make an exception for political prisoners. Yet this is not being honoured

7) In the US and even pre-trial #Assange will be placed in conditions of extreme isolation.

Read the testimony of experts including former warden Maureen Baird here about such conditions including “SAMs”

8) Former UN Special Rapporteur Prof Nils Melzer who found #Assange has been tortured, explains the significance of his case here

9) #RuleOfLaw
Don’t forget that 30 intelligence insiders have confirmed that there were plans to assassinate Julian & engage in a shootout on Knightsbridge’s streets

10) FREE ASSANGE !

Here's an example of why monetary verification is important (and can be expensive).

The gold price is currently $2075/oz.

If you buy a sovereign 1-oz gold coin, or a globally-recognizable privately-issued 1-oz gold bar, you'll generally pay something like a 3-5% markup to spot. This is basically the verification and distribution premium. Even if you buy a bunch of 1-oz items, you generally won't get the spread down too much. If there's a shortage, the premiums over spot go way up.

If you buy smaller sizes, that premium will be a bigger percentage. For example if you buy 1-gram gold coins, you'll be paying a >50% markup to the spot price, which is silly.

If you buy bigger sizes, like 1-kilo bars (which cost more than a typical car), you could get it down to a 1-2% premium to spot.

The bigger size you go, the less verification you have that the core of the item is indeed gold rather than tungsten. You have to trust the brand and supply chain, basically. The smaller size you go, the less possible and economic it is to insert tungsten into the item. And so on some level, it makes sense that the verification premium is bigger for smaller items- you're more assured that it is indeed gold to its core. The surface area to mass ratio is harder to forge, basically. Somewhere around 1-oz is probably the sweet spot.

Now, if you're buying gold in most U.S. states, including on a lot of popular online stores, you'll also pay sales tax, and you'll often have to pay the difference in terms of your payment method. So if your credit card costs the merchant 3%, then that would eat up the merchant's margin since it is razor thin, and so instead the customer often has to pay it. They could instead do a wire transfer for a sizable purchase to save some money, but many banks charge like $30 for a 1-day wire transfer.

And if you're buying online, there's a shipping fee. That's usually pretty low but then goes up a bit if you add insurance because you don't want to risk your expensive coins or bars getting lost in the delivery chain or stolen from your doorstep. From the time of order to the time of delivery, it'll generally take several days. This includes time for the merchant to process the payment (gold merchants are usually a bit more careful about chargebacks and other reversed payments than the average merchant) and ship you the items.

All together, including the verification premium, taxes, payment fees, and shipping, one generally pays 8-15% over the spot price to get 1-oz gold coins or bars. That means gold has to go up a pretty significant amount just to break even. And then you have collectible capital gains taxes on that price gain (which in the US is higher than the actual capital gains tax rate). If you take time (and time is money) to shop around and find ways to legally avoid sales tax and so forth, and figure out the cheapest/slowest payment methods, then you can push the premium down as close as possible to the verification premium and shipping costs.

And if you want to securely ship large amounts of gold long distances, especially internationally? Like imagine HNW investors, businesses, banks, or sovereign entities? You're going to pay a sizable amount. One does not simply ship millions of dollars worth of gold without robust security.

If you want someone to custody your gold, you're going to pay a fee. If you are fine with unallocated/mixed gold with multiple layers of counterparty risk, you could buy among the cheapest ETFs with annual fees below 0.2%. If you want to hold your gold in an allocated way by Brinks or something with fewer layers of counterparty risk, it'll generally cost over 0.5% per year. This goes toward the vault costs, salaries for people with guns, real estate costs, etc.

Basically, there's a pretty big inefficiency in the form of 1) routine verification, 2) secure transfer of ownership, and 3) secure custody, that all comes out in the form of high costs and slow speeds.

Bitcoin has fees, but they are very low in comparison. Nodes can verify bitcoin basically for free. Miners timestamp transactions to transfer ownership for a fee, and you can currently send ten million dollars worth of bitcoin globally for like $10 and have it confirmed within the hour. And you can custody bitcoin yourself, and bring it around with you globally, through ports of entry, across borders, in ways you can't realistically do with gold above a certain value threshold.

When thinking about periods of above-average bitcoin fees, it's useful to keep some of the alternatives in mind. Verifying and transferring ownership of other store-of-value assets like gold and real estate is slower and a lot more expensive, requires a lot more abstraction and permission, and comes with much less portability.

My step brother was a Minneapolis cop in the 89s and 90s. From his youth he was known by his family as the clutz that broke everything he touched.
He went into law enforcement to "save the world" after graduating with a guilded bachelor from a private college in criminal justice. This was the 80s version of a social justice award.
After 15 or 20 years he became that cop everybody hated. He cost the taxpayers dozens of millions of dollars as the traitorous race baiting mayor and city council settled every complaint against him and his swat team. The job ruined him as a person, disillusioned and angry, multiple wives, two broken families. The cliche city cop.
I would never recommend that life to anyone.
Now we have Derek Chauvin, the poster child of the criminal justice system being run by different criminals.

You could open a channel to your node from a liquidity partner like LNBIG (or someone with cheaper lightning fees), then send yourself sats from a lightning wallet like strike or cashapp. That way you dont need to send onchain funds directly to your lightning node with one transaction, then open a channel with them from your node to another lightning node with a second transaction..

Jack, you caused more people to cross the finish line than you realize. Not by dragging them or pushing them, but by moving the line. You made it sound normal and acceptable to your audience to give it another look before others did. You can't win them all, all you can do is be right.

People will believe the news, and people will fear change. Others will attack anyone that threatens their grift. Many that confront you will be bots and spooks, and its hard to tell the difference. If everyone agreed with you, there would be no point in saying it. I miss your bitcoin breakouts and you have a lot to add to the conversation because of your perspective.

We did our part, people will have one last chance sometime over the next year, then people will FOMO like crazy and get burnt. Bitcoin is still a deal today, the window to front-run institutional money has NOT closed.

I remain unconcerned I don't eat foods that come in a box, a plastic package etc.  I make all my own meals, if it has a list of any ingredients I just don't eat it.  The crickets concern me less than HFCS and seed oils honestly.


On the argument that...

"wE hAve tO spEnD biTcOiN tO mAke iT wORk"

Is stupid and time will fix all, if you just relax and have patience.

The fear that something valuable won't be spent is backwards thinking.  The new paradigm will be what can be built so well as to get someone to spend their BTC?  Some bullshit you drop ship on FBA made in a chop shop in China does NOT get that done.

When we get there, it is when we actually get to the point where "Bitcoin fixes this".    The entire planet has been poisoned by fiat thinking.

This is why we have fiat houses, fiat food, fiat roads, etc.  We literally have roads built by the Romans in 200 BCE that are in better shape then roads built by Americans in 1975.

The reason people don't really spend bitcoin right now is very little is built well enough or has enough lasting value to warrant it.  There is very little with enough value to make someone who has the luxury of saving surplus convert said surplus into something other than bitcoin.

You want me to spend my Bitcoin beyond a bit here and there for fun on lightning?  Give me enough value to make me part with it.  Stop the fiat thinking, when we have enough value being created bitcoin will be spent.  This is the point that many miss including many maxis and just about all shitcoiners.

FWIW if you want to spend BTC go ahead.  If you want BTC when I buy from you fine, I will convert as part of the transaction with something like strike.  On my stack?  GFY!  😂

This is about the intelligence community and its secret control over the world since WWII.

Regardless that he likely will do nothing, they still treat him as a threat to the established hidden partisan power structures both foreign and domestic.


The future is lightning, not fedimints. Lightning has a lot of room to expand technically. Ecash is an excellent idea, but its trust-based implementation leaves allot to be desired. The long term solution is trustless ecash through bitcoin smart contracts and lightning channel pools, but we haven't evolved there yet.

What do the Gulag Archipelligo, manufacturing consent, political correctness, and the ovorton window have in common?


The Overton Window regarding the concept of children as property has undergone significant shifts over the centuries, greatly influencing custody decisions in courts. Here's an overview of these changes:

### Historical Perspective

1. **Ancient and Medieval Times**: In many ancient cultures, children were often regarded as the property of their parents, usually the father. This view was rooted in patriarchal societal structures. Custody decisions, if they occurred, were not about the welfare of the child but about the rights of the parents, especially the father.

2. **Enlightenment and Industrial Revolution**: With the Enlightenment and subsequent societal changes, including the Industrial Revolution, there was a gradual shift in the perception of children. The concept of childhood as a distinct and important phase of life began to emerge. Still, the idea of children as quasi-property persisted, though it began to weaken.

### 20th Century Onwards

1. **Early to Mid-20th Century**: This period saw significant changes. Child welfare started to become a societal concern, influenced by psychological research and changing social norms. The idea of children as individuals with rights began to take root, although parental authority remained strong.

2. **Late 20th Century to Present**: The concept of children's rights gained prominence. The notion of children as property became increasingly obsolete. The welfare and best interests of the child became the paramount concern in custody decisions. Laws and court rulings started to reflect this change, focusing on what would best serve the child's needs rather than strictly adhering to parental rights.

### Influence on Custody Decisions

- **Shift from Property to Welfare**: As the Overton Window shifted from viewing children as property to seeing them as individuals with rights, there was a parallel shift in custody decisions. Courts began to emphasize factors like emotional, psychological, and developmental needs.

- **Gender Roles and Custody**: Initially, custody often defaulted to fathers when children were seen more as property. However, as societal views changed, there was a period where mothers were often favored, especially for young children. Now, there's a growing emphasis on joint custody or arrangements that best serve the child's interests, irrespective of the parent's gender.

- **Child's Voice**: More recently, there's an increasing trend in many legal systems to consider the child's preferences, especially as they grow older.

### Conclusion

Over centuries, the Overton Window's shift regarding children has transformed them from being viewed as property to being recognized as individuals with their own rights. This has profoundly influenced how custody decisions are made in courts, with a current focus on the welfare and best interests of the child rather than on parental property rights.

The most dangerous people in the mind of the state is the warrior for truth and freedom that can also lead others.


The argument against reinstating free speech for Alex Jones is that his public opinions have lead some people to harass other people. This, effectively, appears to be the justification by une juge respectée for the award of one and a half billion dollars in damages for his stated disbelief in the shooting.
Doesn't the media hold the same liability for publically stating their opinion of people holding opposing views by using words in nearly every paragraph such as: Far-right, right-wing extremist, racist, conspiracy theorist, conspiracy-theory-loving, anti-Semitic, white supremacist, worse than Hitler, neo-Nazi, purveyor of dis- and misinformation, notorious and radical voices?

I have no hate for trans people. Lets leave men's issues out of this for now and focus on young girls. Girls are more compliant, trusting, needing to feel accepted by their peers and superiors. They are simply more vulnerable to dysfunctional social currents around them. My disagreement is with the medical, pharma, education and psychological industries pressing for "rights" of children to hide their medical history from their parents. It started with girls getting condoms, then it was birth control, then it was IUD, then it was abortions, now its puberty blockers. All of it creates adults that are infertile and dependant on the system for all the horomonal anf psychological damage they are subjected to by the system. The parents are told they have no right to protect their daughters, and now it is becoming law. The popularization of trans has nothing to do with making them more accepted, its psychological warfare to destroy the west's fertility and we aren't up to the challange to defend ourselves.

Former NSA Technical Director William Binney analyzed the modified data and determined its packet headers had been modified in an rushed attempt to hide the fact that the download speeds showed it had been downloaded from the server locally, and not over the internet, disproving the DNC claims of “Russian hackers”. nostr:note1l5l22zn87j9htycmtv3pg4s322ha6zlfx20dua4g7aejdce2kg6sl3yys9

The point is, its custodial. Don't trust ecash tokens unless you trust the mint. If you don't trust the mint, cash out to lightning as soon as you get them. Amethyst does this for you. Then only mint tokens for sending to others.

Ecash needs two advancements: recoverability and mint trustlessness.

Wallet recoverability is in the works.

Mint trustlessness isn't possible yet, therefore you need to find a mint that is run by someone that is trustworthy. You also want to establish trust with the mint owner, so if the mint breaks, you could ask the mint owner for your sats back.

I guess my wife and i are unicorns. Women that don't value their modesty may be fine for a good time for a while, and a guy may be infatuated with her... for a while. Either a guy will try to make a wife out of a whore, or he will never commit. This is why women complain about men waiting too long to get married, they aren't transforming into the silk purse the guy wanted. Often men will settle out of being pressured, and hoping the woman will tame after marriage, but this is by no means ideal and typically these are the kind of relationships that turn toxic.

Full financial transparency is dehabilitating. Privacy is absolutely necessary to conduct business, its impossible to negotiate without it and would break competition, trade secrets and interefere with price discovery. Full privacy in the future is therefore guarantred. Regardless, that is not what we have with bitcoin. Firstly, the more bitcoin is used, the easier it is to break tracability of individuals. Secondly, we already have many privacy mechanisms and practices that assure privacy. Eventually base-layer privacy will be demanded, but at this time its unnecessary. We are still early, and the current state of the art does not reflect the future reality that innovations bring with them.

Eventually bitcoin will move to a privacy model. There is no requirement for it to make that move before mass adoption. For now, simplicity is the more valuable feature. If the average programmer can't explain how it works to the normie, all bets are off for mass acceptance. In the meantime, blockchain transparency provides the right mix of trustworthiness and auditability that it makes it very politically difficult to outright ban.

Can a search index of post content be decentralized yet reliable and fast?

I agree search is essential, and at present the search available in amethyst is great but unpredictable.


9mm semi


It's interesting this is at top of mind today, as I was just thinking about the npub/relay discovery problem and its tendency to centralization/federation. This seems like a solved problem, but it hasn't yet been integrated into the nostr model, simply out of maintaining simplicity. What I mean by the discovery problem is that a npub's present preferred relays is not trivial to discover, while at this time it depends on concentrator services like nostr.band. Bitcoin already has the notion of a mempool and it uses a DHT to share a common set of data. TOR also has integrated a pubkey discovery mechanism to find .onion rendezvous nodes. To find the location of a person's preferred relay(s) and/or simply a list of relays to find a npub's most recent profile data in a decentralized way, it seems to me one of these techniques is appropriate. It is also imminently compatible with the gossip/outbox client model. This way, nobody really needs to know who is at what relay to find their most recent posts and latest profile update. Then it becomes feasible for someone to have only a self-homed relay yet reach the full audience regardless of which relay their friends and followers are using.


while I agree it would be good to have more content to explain nostr, it won't really matter given the current onboarding and product experience. it's way too confusing for folks, and generally not satisfying instantly. people will and do churn out.

if there's one thing to focus on (for the social media use case) it's search. both for people, but more importantly, topics. Twitter won because of search. it wasn't a social network. it was an information network, and it excelled at real-time because of real-time search. that's a base requirement now.

what nostr adds, and what will make it sticky, is the multi-app/use-case ecosystem. but each use case is going to have different needs for attracting people to it. search is table stakes for the social media one. it won't matter how good the tutorial content is until this is done right.

nostr has the benefit right now of having a completely open and wild API. that matters as every other service is closing down. it's perfectly OK that we mostly have devs and bitcoin-obsessives at the moment. we have time to get all the kinks out and make something that's truly hard to replicate. where the only way to compete will be to join.

I am being investigated for running an illegal money transmission business in Canada (nodeless)

Under the advice of my lawyers I need to shut down the main instance of it.

As you guys know I made Nodeless completely open source in the event that this happens, so that others who don't live under communism can run a honest, privacy focused payments business.

To my clients who are using it, I'm very sorry for the short notice but you'll need to find a new payment processing solution this weekend.

DM me on telegram and I will personally walk you through setting up a btcpayserver instance that you can self host, or even your own instance of nodeless.

I can't give much more information than this, not even supposed to say this much, but I owe it to you guys to let you know what's going on.

There are a few options available, the one I think has the most complete feature set for Nostr user is  nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm as you can use it to log in to Nostr services, create lightning address to receive zaps, send zaps on desktop, and use Nostr Wallet Connect feature to send zaps from many mobile clients. It provides a good set of features, also can handle keys for your on-chain wallet (non-custodial) But with the recent growth and attention it has been receiving, Alby is also a target for regulations and government attacks.

I'd still say this is fine for users who are not tech savvy, it takes a few seconds to set up and should answer all of your zapping needs, at least for now, but be aware that it faces the same risk WoS faces.

## Move to a Non-Custodial Wallet

So you want to completely eliminate the risk of censorship and surprises and decided to go non-custodial, not your keys, not your Bitcoins, it should be simple, right?

Well, not really. You see, lightning is not Bitcoin, to truly operate a lightning wallet without and third party you'd need to run your own Bitcoin node along with your own Lightning implementation of choice and a whole bunch of other stuff, and if you are already doing that, I bet you're feeling pretty superior right now.

### So, what about all these 'non-custodial lightning wallets' then?

Compared to just Bitcoin, things get a little bit more complicated for Lightning, you'll need to open channels, manage liquidity, ensure connectivity, and be online to use the network. Non custodial lightning wallets are wallets that lets you create, and keep your own keys (or what normal people would call seed, or the 12-words) but will do all the other stuff on your behalf, tasks such as creating and funding channels, routing payments, managing liquidity are done by the service providers and as of now, there are no established standards on how this is done and each wallet will have their own set up.

### wait, why should I care about all of that?

Well, to put it simply, you might not always be able to recover your wallet in any other wallets, Lightning is complicated and it requires more than your seed backups to restore your wallets as channels and channels balances are stored separately, this might change in the future but it is the current reality, so, just be aware!

## These are the non-custodial wallets I've tried for this note.

1. Phoenix
One of the oldest non-custodial lightning wallet, a simplified version of Eclair, also made by the same company, ACINQ. In phoenix, you create and store your own keys, but the wallet will use your keys to open channels and sign transactions for you. Recovery is simple enough as I've moved my phoenix wallet from phones to phones many times without any difficulty, just use the twelve-word backup phrase on their app. But if you need to recover the wallet in a different app then that will be a problem as you'll need the channel backups to close your channel and I can't find any ways to export that from the app. The app is available as apk though if it ever gets removed from playstore. Also, while simple, phoenix offers no special features for Nostr users.

**pros**
- Simple, clean interface.
- Channel splicing is great, no more dead channels with useless liquidity, simple management
- ACINQ runs onw of the largest Lightning node.
- transparent policies regarding channel opening fees, swap-in wallets, etc.

**cons**
- no Nostr wallet connect, but can still be used to send zaps.
- ACINQ is stingy with routing fee
- no lnUrl, lnAddress support

2. Breez
Just like Phoenix, Breez offers a clean user interface and a simple back up solution, instead of a seed back up phrase, Breez backsup your wallet to a cloud service, of your choice, which is a bit unnerving, but you can encrypt the file and recovery is easy enough, just re-link the back up and your wallet is back on a new phone. No Nostr specific feature though.

**pros**
- easy to use
- connects with a lot of services
- transparent

**cons**
- no lnUrl, lnAddress
- though can be transparent, most advanced information are hidden in the advanced section
- no back up phrases for on-chain wallet / keys

3. nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5
This is perhaps the most feature packed wallet on the list, but unfortunately, also the most difficult to get started. The playstore version does not support embedded node so you'll need to be running a node somewhere and use Zeus to connect to it. However, if you go to their website and download the Latest beta you can run a neutrino node on your phone and use it to manage your own channels. But you;ll need to manage your own channels, so that's a bit difficult for most people, or maybe I'm just missing something. Zeus supports NIP-05 generation, lnAddress (semi-custodial) so it can be used for Nostr.

**pros**
- feature packed
- connects to your own node
- does lnAddress magic
- also nip05
- node on your phone!

**cons**
- need to install apk or testflight (as of now)
- connects to your own node
- need to open / close channels
- node on your phone!

4. nostr:npub1mutnyacc9uc4t5mmxvpprwsauj5p2qxq95v4a9j0jxl8wnkfvuyque23vg
I really like Mutiny. One thing that sets it apart from other wallets is that it's a web app (but it runs locally on your phone.) So you'll never have to worry about it being removed from any appstore, ever. Just go to their website with your browser and click start using Mutiny and it'll install a web app on your phone. The set up is simple, seed phrase back up and your are ready. The  minimum funding to start using the wallet is a bit high though, at 100,000 sats so it's not great for onboarding newbies, and they charge a 40k sat fees if you wanted to fund the wallet with another lightning wallet. (funding it with on-chain wallet can be cheaper, depending on the network. Mutiny supports Nostr Wallet Connect so you can use it to easily send zaps, but does not have lnAddress for receiving zaps.

** pros **
- cool design
- no app store
- runs anywhere
- simple to set up
- has NWC

**cons**
- high initial funding tx fee
- no lnAddress
- can be confusing at first for people used to appstore.

### notable mentions

Blixt is also interesting, it runs a neutrino node on your phone and offers the same benefits as zeus, but the UX is quite confusing and difficult to use and does not support any Nostr specific features.

## Conclusion

I don't see a clear winner here but.
**if you just want to keep you zaps safe for the moment** -> Phoenix or Breez
**if you want to use it mainly for sending zaps** -> Mutiny, Phoenix, Breez are fine, Mutiny has NWC
**if you want to use it to receive zaps** -> Zeus (grab the v8.0 beta version) and learn to use it.
**if you want to send and receive zaps now and don't really care about going non custodial** -> Alby

Its about using your private key to sign a transaction from the same address. Sending to the same address multiple times from various sources, such as an exchange is not insecure. However, you want to spread your incoming uxtos out among as many addresses in your wallet as possible so you can reduce doxing yourself by tieing multiple accounts to one ID. Putting an address out there for donations is perfectly acceptable from a key security point of view no matter how many people send to it. The problem with a static recieving address is you are potentially doxxing your contributors. From a business point of view, you dont want your comoetitors being able to measure your revenue or identify your customers, so you don't want to ask your different customers to use the same address. Seed phrases and xpubs fix this, issue a new recieve address every time you give it out, they are free. Just don't divulge your xpub, or you might as well as use just one btc recieve address for everyone.

Get your water from a local artesian spring or a well. I have a good well on my own property.
When I lived in the city i would bring glass carboys to the local brewery. They used to let you fill up outside for free. When they shut that down because of muggings then I had to order Culligan delivery, but that was 15 years ago before I knew about RO.
If none of that is available or too expensive then drink remineralized reverse osmosis water. Have a RO system installed if you live in the city, they are cheap. Fill up a glass 5gal carboy and remineralize by pouring appropriate powders into it. Buy a pottery dispenser to hold the carboy upsidedown. Clean it every month or two. You can follow this formula:

Never ever ever ever drink municipal tapwater. Better to not even bathe in it.
Never drink water from a softner.
Never drink RO water unless its been remineralized (remineralization cartridges do not cut it).
Never drink bottled water, unless it its from a glass carboy.
Obviously, never drink from aluminum or plastic containers.

By "base value" I mean the minimum amount of labor and goods it commands as measured in units of Bitcoin. This tends to follow an exponential, however as you've seen, it's very difficult to quantify since everything else also shifts wildly due to its market conditions, including fiat itself.

If you presume any price of bitcoin over this base value is speculation, and only serves to maintain its upward pressure (yet, is subject to continuous correction), then we can imagine a minimum value persists that is related to its issuance schedule. The "bull-run and bear market" cycle patterns are intrinsic to the nature of market adoption of Bitcoin, and perhaps necessary, to allow self-interested agents to contribute to grassroots marketeering of the new commodity.

It could have just as easily been programmed to follow a continuous declination of issuance over time rather than a four-year stepwise halving schedule. Also, the issuance adjustment could have just as easily been more frequent. But no, we were given an issuance schedule that can not only be easily remembered, but provides enough time for the market to fully absorb the shock of its change.

One might think Satoshi more than a cryptographic genius, but also one that either has an instinctual or a deep comprehension of market psychology. As I had once speculated by reviewing the very first check in of the codebase, I could glean that Satoshi had a corporate and Wall Street background in software.  I believe the issuance schedule was carefully chosen based on some kind of ideal publicly traded asset behavior.

Consider the automobile. We humans perceive our vehicles are more powerful and that we are "going faster" if the shift pattern of the transmission gearboxes is stepwise rather than continuous. The early manual shift transmission provides a stepwise torque curve out of mechanical necessity. Today, with the more reliable continuously variable (CV) gear mechanism, it is unnecessary to alter the engine RPM. Instead, it's feasible to hold the engine at a constant RPM at its peak power efficiency and deliver a constant acceleration to the car. The reason CV transmissions do not do this is that people not only expect to be jostled around during acceleration to traveling speeds, but people will call for more power to maintain the satisfying feeling of acceleration and, consequently, will use more fuel, wear and tear on the car, but also think the vehicle's performance is inferior and not recommend it to their peers. Essentially, the perfect transmission provides an imperfect experience. It's this sort of insight into human psychology the four-year halving appears to harness. In the end, we end up in the same place, 21M, but the process, although seemingly shocking, yields an overall gentler outcome.

If you also accept that adoption will meet resistance from not only government policies but also out of self-interested individuals and organizations that lose power as a result of the transition, the changeover will also follow a corresponding exponential pattern that represents their gradual receding from wealth and prominence if only due to limitations on the human condition. This transition of power would contribute to the increase in base value of bitcoin to the economy.

One might consider a world in the absence of this invention had no better alternative emerged to these inferior forms of money, and this allowed certain structures and groups such as banking families and cantillion beneficiaries to indefinitely maintain wealth and power with little interference.


If you presume bitcoin has its own value, and cancel out fiat inflation and debasement factors, I have a hunch the base value of bitcoin will have a trend of doubling to quadrupling every four years until the scales finally tip away from the average person accepting central bank debt as payment.

Just orangepilled my accountant this afternoon. I said its not too late, its still early, and she asked a dozen questions about how to buy it and custody it. Not trivial to explain addresses, private keys, seed phrases and multisig in 20 minutes but I think I didn't do too bad of a job.


Using the term Notary may have legal implications.


I interepret the story as her wanting to marry the prince, thus Jacob's aquiscence. The initial act was likely concenting. However, ultimately, it was Jacob that failed to watch over his daughter and permitted the circumstance to happen. The defilement accusation is my interepretation of the brothers' actions, not mine. There likely was also a percieved fundamental incompatibility between the groups, and offer to intermarry was only part of the ruse on the part of the brothers.


Amazing. I grieve for you. The part of the world you live in sounds worse than Orwell's 1984 and I can't imagine what advanced technological surveillance would do to your life. Its this level of bondage the left associates with all religions, even if they themselves were raised Christian. There is little justice in the world, and the depravity of what the west considers Christian religion has its share of injustice and corruption. To endure your circumstance makes our problems pale in comparison. In the end there is ample opportunity to serve God, and regardless of religion, with or without or forced compliance, the ultimate purpose should be peace and unity with our Father and doing his will with our hands.


GN apistr


Jacob was being a weak ass pussy to his sons, not standing up to them. It is a disgusting chapter, I agree. Firstly, it says in verse 2 that Schechem was the prince, and his father had significant influence over the people. It also said the agreement to circumcise was made by the Jacob's sons and it was done deceitfully (Gen 34:13) and it was all a ruse. The Hivites also were motivated to circumcise themselves for financial reasons (verse 23) so their reasoning wasn't exactly altruistic. Their intent behind circumcision had nothing to do with a covenant with God, and these people would have obviously polluted the family given the most upright person among all the Hivites would defile a virgin. The dealing by Jacob's sons was dishonest, the hivites were immoral people, and Jacob was a puss for letting them act deceptively no less letting his daughter marry into the people.


Genesis chapter 34, the entire chapter


Jacob did not support his sons killing the tribe, they disobeyed their father and broke his agreement. The entire story was demonstrating how his sons were rebellious and it was setting up their self-centeredness when some of them tried to kill Joseph.


The entire concept of church hierarchy and the idea of a pastor living on tithes is grotesque and a continuation of old testament ceremonial law. Being a priest is not a profession, but our tax law presumes it is, and one tax exempt. Im all for paying less to the government, but paying to a church is just sending it to a more intrusive and self inflicted government. Don't get me wrong, I give the benefit of the doubt to those pastors that believe in their concept of mission and calling, but the way they do it is counter biblical and inherently corrupt.

A virtuous woman is more precious than rubies. Prov 31:10


I forgot to add the "never date a woman with plastic surgery" rule, learned that one twice.


Just think of all the preservatives and soybean oil, not to mention the fecal & mucal aspect.


Sorry for the confusion. Honestly, I didnt know what the context was for "yet you still engage with her." I thought he was talking about dating a religious girl yet being atheist.
My condolences for your loss


Single women shouldn't be nesting with animals in her house as replacement children. Having animals FOR the children, thats a different story. Animals are for utility, like hunting, herding and catching mice. If she is a farmer and cares for the chickens, thats a different story as long as she isn't living in the chicken coop herself.


Yes another victim of psyop. The framers were not founding fathers and they would have objected to being given such reverence. Their intent was to preserve what they themselves had inherited.


What is truly amazing is I never would have seen my wife until I made the list.


English is a mess, but the mess of your own making. Eventually you learn exactly where in the trash heap to reach and get that word you threw on the pile so many years ago


If you have evidence she's still delivering incantations and summoning spirits, I can be convinced otherwise.


Studying quantum physics was my first step in believing in God.


The sinner can be hated by God, but we are to forgive. We only don't carouse with sinners... birds of a feather.


Cats are a signal the woman won't reproduce. Its also extremely unhealthy.


Its foreign counterintelligence intended to destroy our fertility, so we will be weak and less competitive. The west doesn't protect its women, they are completely exposed, and its because of sexism (of the radical feminist strain.) Now "feminism" is turning our women masculine, its not surprising. Feminity can only fluorish under the protection of masculinity.


Its interesting who Trump married. He still stayed mostly in his own race.


Nobody is irredeemable. My list is a list of risks, ones guys don't need to take. I'd gladly marry a 7 over a 9 with anything on my list.


I wasn't attacking Stella. Lets be civil, she's trying to be a good wife.


I've seen the lake of fire. Its not a volcano, its not on Earth and its horrid. I don't know what to say about timetraveling advanced humans, its certainly a possibility, but it still doesen't satisfy the first-mover theorem and I refuse to believe we exist because of an infinite regress. I have direct personal evidence of God at this point but I don't pretend to understand how he 'works'. I do expect we will be told when its acceptable.


I agree all organized religion is evil. Thats essentially Ingersoll's argument. Strange thing is Jesus agrees.


Hate the sin not the sinner


That's our responsibility not his. You want Gary to change his mind, be an ambassador for Christ. You never choose God, he chooses you.


Lol being a christian means you think the world is going to end.


I wasn't referring to you. It probably replied to the wrong post. Gary said something about religious women, my observation is the primary problem is being judgemental which is a form of hate.


Full of hate


I was a staunch atheist for many years, from 5 to about 28. I agreed with Robert Ingersoll and others. Didn't see the light until my late 20s. Started out academically reading the bible on my own, simply to see what all the hubbub was about. I learned respect for Jesus, but not necessarily his theology. Then I started talking about the bible with people that believed. Then I started experiencing miracles in the form of dreams of real events that I would later see with my own eyes. That opened my mind to the possibility we are more than we can percieve. From there picking a religion seemed arbitrary, but monotheism seemed logical (first mover principal.) I went down a few christian religion roads, but landed on what I percieve to be the most pure form. Its nothing you've heard of, and most religions would consider it radical and heretical. Jesse Lee Peterson is the only public figure I know of that holds similar theological views (I learned of him many years after adopting my views.)


The divorce settlements pale in comparison to losing significant influence over your children.


Religious women have another whole different spectrum of red flags, like being too controlling, but an intelligent woman will overcome that.


Guys have a whole lot more to lose than women do in todays legal climate


That one is a gauge of who she's *really* attracted to.


Never date a woman that has a cat.
Never date a woman that has more than one dog.
Never date a woman that is older than you.
Never date a woman that makes more money than you.
Never date a woman that has a history of exhibitionism.
Never date a woman that smokes or does drugs, even if you do.
Never date a woman that has seriously dated guys you find repulsive (better to have never seriously dated anyone.)
Never date a woman that goes both ways.
Never date a woman that has kids or has been married (unless you do also)
Never date a woman that has tattoos or piercings anywhere other than her ears. Two holes in each ear is pushing it.
Never date a woman that is out to compete with men.
Never date a woman that doesen't have good hygene.
Never date a woman outside your race.
Never date a woman from a religion you yourself would never consider joining on your own.
Never date a woman that doesen't share your values for education.
Never date a woman that would be jealous of your ability to earn wealth.

I've made all these mistakes, and more, but my wife passes all the tests.


The Irish used to use bathwater for soup base. They did it for flavor.
