Be honest.
He wasn't forced out of his hammock.
The Ranger was probably on a power trip but I guarantee your mate wasn't forced. He complied. Rangers know they have no power.
It's not plausible that you're carrying an unconfigured, blank phone on you?
I was taking it to the shop to get the battery replaced. It keeps rebooting for no apparent reason.
If MSTR takes the place of NFTs & yield farming this cycle, I won't be disappointed. It's probably more likely to replace GBTC as a 1 way Bitcoin sponge though.
I might even buy a few shares if we get another bear market & their Bitcoin premium goes to a discount.

My 3 year old border collie died this morning after being bitten by a paralysis tick.
We've just finished burying her on our property with her favourite orange ball. This is the spot where she destroyed the grass from her crazy running around.
Taking responsibility for all things can be very challenging & uncertain at times. I'm so grateful for our time together & very sad to see her go.
Good bye girl 💚

Yeah - it's tough. She was my kids first pet that they've lost (not counting the chickens which weren't pets).
One of the reasons we got her was because their other pets are getting very old & fragile now.
The corn is pumping but I don't really care. Feels weird. 🫂
I hate to be the one to break it to you but you'll never be normal. Fuck normal.
There's no way I'd want my daughter on hormone therapy. I'd be dragging her out of bed to see the sunrise barefoot & then cooking her plenty of fatty meat.
But I'm not your old man.

The politics of the fiat world is so full of fear & lack. It's almost like the social structures are created to provide confidence to their leaders. Fiat = by decree. Power is bestowed to an individual & then they build a base of loyal minions to carry out the activities & maintain power structures. 🤮
My thinking is that there has to be many clubs less than the size of Dunbar's number. Freedom to join & exit is paramount. It has to be voluntary with no coercion or force.
The idea that there's 1 team Bitcoin is an illusion at best.
Decentralised communities & projects are complex & chaotic but free from systemic risk. As individuals we're vulnerable & we need to share knowledge, skills & resources if we are to survive, let alone thrive.
The "my club is better than the other clubs" bullshit doesn't fly though. At the end of the day, Honey Badger DGAF about your club. Clubs & leaders will emerge & dissolve based on the value that they provide & the needs that arise.
Correlation ≠ causation
The stress men seem to be experiencing is from the build up of sexual energy. Stress isn't the only way that this energy build up manifests.
We experience stresses everyday. Waking up is a stressful event.
A man can transmute this sexual energy into purposeful action & drive. Ironically, this tends to make his partner pretty horny.
It's generally when the man can't find a purpose that he experiences the frustration of it. He then seeks to offload this energy & find relief from it.
I replaced the battery on my pixel 4 about a year ago.
I mustn't have done it properly (maybe loose connection?) because it still has power issues (but they're less predictable now).
It's worth a shot IMO, batteries are pretty cheap compared to a replacement device.

I'm a similar age to you & quit a programming job/career in my 20s
I had the Bach degree & the job but I left it to pursue something more suited to my skillset & abilities. I was a slow programmer & had a very fixed mindset at the time. With hindsight I could have pursued it, worked hard & succeeded, but my heart wasn't in it.
It's a very competitive industry that's constantly changing & evolving.
I've no regrets except the wasted University time & money.
Where are these bad takes?
Your Nostr is not my Nostr.
Own your feed.

My first PC game was called Decathlon. It was pretty crappy & at some point dad wiped the 5¼" disk & put DOS on it. For years I thought everyone had a decathlon disk to boot their computer.
I don't see how.
It's picking up content cached locally on the phone.
Setting the duress pin on your Graphene phone might be the only solution I can think of.
It looks like it sniffs the phone for unencrypted data stored locally.
A lot of defences assume that the attacker doesn't have the unlocked device. It may be using weaknesses in the OS authentication mechanism.
Wiping your phone would be a pain but I'd do it in a heartbeat if I was picked up.
I'm neither a veteran nor an American. The government that controls my jurisdiction has little respect for the privacy & preferences of its citizens.
The most effective substance I've found for oxidising toxins in the body is chlorine dioxide solution (CDS). A substance that's been used for over a century to sanitise water. It's very cheap & easy to obtain the raw ingredients to make at home.
If you're suffering or know people who are suffering from the effects of toxin exposure, I'd definitely look into CDS.
I was red pilled after the GFC in 2008.
It took me a over a decade to find the solution that is built on Bitcoin.
I spent a decade being pretty nihalistic.
Bitcoin brought hope & helped lift me from a deep pessimism that nothing could be done to overcome the oppression.
I think it's probably about contrast.
Going so deeply into the darkness made any light feel brighter.
My journey of pill swallowing was Red -> Black -> Orange -> White. I think I see the purple pill as another version of the orange pill. Another way to return to sovereignty & freedom via responsibility.
Contrast can be painful & useful.
I like it, but you can go deeper.
Your physical experience is a combination of what you think, how you feel & what you do.
The words you use in your thoughts & beliefs are as important as the actions you perform.
If you want to change your physical experience, you need to shift your beliefs first. The first belief to shift is owning your physical experience & rejecting the victim mindset. If you don't first own your experience, you can never hope to shift it.
I believe that everything is happening for me & not to me. Even when my physical experience is not aligned with my preferences, I know there is value to be had.
All of your actions are performed because you believe that you will better off for having performed them. If your actions don't align with your preferences, it indicates that you're holding a belief that doesn't serve you. Find the belief & articulate it. Simply shining a light on your irrational beliefs is usually enough to disolve them.
It all starts with your beliefs, the agreements that you've been making since you started understanding your world.
