 I guess I'm more religious than I thought. 🤣

 Amen. 
 If alcohol is so bad for you, then why did Jesus turn water into wine? 

If it’s good enough for Jesus Christ, it’s good enough for me.

Being sober is essentially blasphemy. 
 “Praise the lord by imbibing.” — Libations 6:9 
 Cheers 🍻 
 **drink(s) 🍻 
 The word of the lord. 
 “Jesus wept.” 
 You talking about the Bible? 
 Did Jesus turn dirty water into clean water? No. He turned it into wine, at a wedding… like 600+ liters of wine…

It’s clear JC was trying to party. 
 Jesus didn’t die on the cross for us to be sober. 
 As I said, Jesus liked to party.

 Fuck… that’s so rad. 
 Name a better beer… I’ll wait. https://i.nostr.build/GJxWangwBeAC7Gz2.jpg  
 Get out. 
 Miller Lite is the only beer that has “Lite” in the name. 
 I approve of both of those beers. 
 I love me some High Life. 
 Anyone who tells you otherwise is a statist cuck. nostr:note19hq9xwghvtdau2xc5hmc97hzdjymcv0kugmvmfcxr2z7vlrn0u4svtzzdg 
 Best Bitcoin-Election meme yet. 
 I don’t think I’ve seen you in a suit before but it looks good man. Bringing back the handlebar mustache would make it better though. 
 I have whittled the broken piece of this cherry tree into a nice smooth stick for my son. He’s teething so I imagine he’s going to love it (when he wakes up from his nap). 

When a buck fucks your cherry tree, make a chewing stick, as the French say. https://i.nostr.build/DgQPeG6rcfBlv66y.jpg  nostr:note19fsv4wphclf9qr237v5f97ws8udmk693ygk6k9uhpke008y9tm4s9v52hk 
 Y’all into sticks, too? I fucking love sticks. 
 Some young buck really had his way with the cherry tree we planted… 

Probably my fault for using inappropriate fencing materials. https://i.nostr.build/rKeD7UVbLzAsu6Am.jpg  
 I have lots of hair dolls lying around that I can repurpose 
 Oh you betcha 
 I peed around the tree a bit already so hoping that helps. 
 I love how bark beetles turn an ordinary tree branch into an ornately-carved ceremonial staff. https://i.nostr.build/rOwD2q68XNXP9RD3.jpg

 Why is the Catholic Church like this..?

“The Archdiocese of Los Angeles, the nation’s largest, has agreed to pay $880 million to 1,353 people who say they were sexually abused as children by Catholic clergy. The settlement, which experts said was the highest single payout by a diocese, brings Los Angeles’s cumulative total in sex abuse lawsuits to more than $1.5 billion.”

 You know this is not the first of these cases, right..? 
 Damn that’s some good photoshop! 
 It’s quite flawless 👏 
 Good morning. 

The legacy media is a monolithic propaganda machine. 

Have a nice day. https://i.nostr.build/BuScc2N3GR2Y0iv0.jpg  
 You are either a person who gets triggered or the one who does the triggering.

The choice is yours. 

Anyway, goodnight.

 Does 1080p vs 720p REALLY make that noticeable of a difference?

I record @Titcoin with Riverside.fm, and I usually record in 720p to avoid issues, but my Sony a6700 records up to 4K… but will most people even notice the difference..? 
 Agreed. 
 I was just thinking… 

bitcoin (lowercase) is a Store of Value, Medium of Exchange, and Unit of Account.

But #Bitcoin (uppercase) is *THE* medium of exchange. Like the Bitcoin network is literally the medium through which bitcoin is exchanged. 
 Last night I was bringing in some plants before it frosted and a butterfly came with them. I tried to shoo it back outside, but escaped deeper into the house and landed on the wall, firmly out of reach. Today, it finally made its way to the window and I caught it in a mason jar. Now it’s free again. https://v.nostr.build/n73T6B3IfXSLwGAk.mp4  
 Just got stopped, searched, bag strewn on the airport floor on arrival to Germany. 

I’m a bit ... 
 Airports in Germany are the fucking worst…

You start to realize why Germany went Nazi… 
 Never forget what they took from us… #tunestr

 This @Titcoin episode is one of the first I recorded so apologies if the audio levels are a bit wonky. Might re-record Anatomy of the State with my new setup because it’s honestly one of the most succinct and approachable dissections of the State ever written…

Either way, if you need some #AustrianAudible ASMR to fall asleep to this should do the trick 🤙 nostr:note1ekyasp6s9u3vuwhy7dfakkuxn4yyerznfphlp5sz9rqke0r4pq7q7nsapu

 He smells great, too! 
 I asked my wife to describe me in one word and she said “intense”. 

I told her I don’t fee... 
 I think you’re chill in an intense kind of way. 
 Trying to reconcile why I respect veterans but hate politicians while they are the ones doing the... 
 I think it’s important to separate the men and women who serve their country from the politicians who serve only themselves and send those soldiers off to die in foreign lands. 

From talking with a lot of Bitcoin veterans at great length, what I’ve found is they truly wanted to serve their country for the betterment of the American people, even if that meant sacrificing their own lives. 

Many were swept up in the post-9/11 era of pro-war propaganda (understandably so) and wanted to make a difference by fighting for their country. 

Then, at some point in the faithful execution of their duties, they became disillusioned, realizing that they were really serving the politicians and the military industrial complex, and that the reasons they were told they were fighting were not the real reasons. 

This is of course a massive oversimplification, and I do not want to put words into the mouths of any veterans. 

My personal experience from all of the veterans I know is they are some of the best people I have ever had the privilege of meeting.

In the words of @TheGuySwann : “Bitcoin Veterans that hate the State are the best people in the world.”

I agree with Guy wholeheartedly. 

If you want to hear from a truly badass veteran who is currently directly serving Americans disaster victims in need, check out @ShaneHazel of @Bitcoin Veterans 

I had a great conversation with him on @Titcoin that I think you’ll enjoy.

 Amen to that. I think you’ll enjoy the conversation.

 Highly recommend making one (and drinking beers while doing so).
