 Yeah me neither 
 I like to live on the edge 
 If you can’t do 500 push ups in a day you’re either physically weak, mentally weak or both. 
 I mean nostr can’t be boring all the time lol 
 I don’t do 500 push up’s a day, but I have done 500 push ups in a day. 
 I can do 500 push ups. Can you? 
 lol I wouldn’t recommend doing them everyday. 
 lol 😂 
 Yes obviously do not attempt if injured. 
 No one can do 500 in a row retard 
 Go for it 
 Actually I stand corrected lol I found some Chad on YouTube who did it. This guys on another level. I’ve never seen anyone do this many in a row before. https://youtu.be/UafCGuY-B2k?si=LPFyloX7CK-slApA 
 I def can’t do this lol 😂 
 There’s levels to this shit lol 
 Crushing it 
 I can do zero lines of code lol 
 lol what does this mean? 
 You want a healthy body & mind? It’s not for sale. You gotta earn it. 

You want a strong trusting relationship with a beautiful person? It’s not for sale. You gotta earn it. 

You want a bitcoin? $54,611.26 

One of these things is easier than the others. 
 This is awesome

bitcoin culture is a movable feast. 
 If I ever forget and skip creatine for a day or two I can actually feel my brain function less effectively. 
 Usually just go with whatever is cheapest lol 
 It could be, but honestly I don’t think it is. I think you’re right when it comes to muscle saturation. Mentally though It’s a subtle shift but I can notice when I’m taking it and when I’m not. 
 Yeah 
 Why? 
 Everything is chemicals bro. You’d have to eat a ridiculous amount of meat to get the same level of creatine you can get via supplementation. 
 Yep just take it once a day that’s pretty much it 
 Your doctor was a dumbass. Creatine is a very safe and effective supplement and has no adverse effect on kidney function. 
 Christians,

Help me out here. 

How does one feel strongly about Jesus? How does one have a personal relationship with Christ? 

In general I feel very little or nothing when I think about god and he exists to me more as a vague concept. 

Any advice? 
 lol always. Small talk sucks. 
 R9? 
 Have done. Many times friend. Dmt too. 
 Definitely down to have a chat 
 Brief background. I grew up catholic. Altar boy, Catholic school etc… in general I had good interactions with Catholicism, but definitely was harmed by the classic Catholic guilt at home with family etc… 

In middle school I went to a Lutheran school which was run by young earth creationists who in addition to being morons also happened to be hypocrites .

Really turned me off on religion in general and I decided that I was an agnostic atheist at 13 or 14 years old.

I basically stayed this way until I had children, which brought me around to believing in god again. 
 Not trolling. Genuinely seeking the answer because it seems elusive to me. 
 Pray occasionally and smoked DMT before a few times 
 Someone once described the Holy Ghost thing to me as water in three forms. Solid, liquid and gas. 

I think you’re probably right and that trust is a key part of the equation. I’ll have to overcome that hurdle at some point. 
 Haha I know what you meant 
 Indescribable. Like dying and being reborn. 
 Good morning! Uncle is taking a break from social media, but with BTC hitting $53K, I thought I'd... 
 Here for the free sats sir 
 Being intelligent enough to grok bitcoin is one thing, having the balls and deep conviction to hodl it is another. nostr:note1chck0hdrn5q7l4clg0hygf764kl5ucfrhxaenwqfu92jaj0jv44q7rptpn 
 This is a rough cycle. Mentally as far as I'm concerned we haven't had a a bull market since 2017... 
 Sometimes I think this way and then I remind myself that all of the best things in life are cheap or free. Trips to the ice cream shop, playing at the park. Hiking. Biking as a family, going to get a hamburger and fries etc… 

Kids don’t need trips to Europe or whatever. That’s shit that adults want. Kids like regular life. 

You also don’t know what unseen benefits being marginally poorer are providing you. 

For instance I could have bought a home with a bedroom for every kid and probably still will at some point. But the bunk beds and shared bedrooms my kids have increase their bonding when they’re young making it likely for them to be closer when they’re older. 

TLDR Hodl 

You said forever. Time to mean it. 
 The kids just want you man, they just want their dad. 

They want you to take them out to pizza and ask them about their day. 

Life is simple. No need to over complicate it. 
 That was @erikcason actually. 
 Son of a bitch bro how many reply guys am I gonna have to mute lol 😂 
 Haha exactly 
 Hahahaha 
 BITCOIN HAS THE MORAL HIGH GROUND

NOSTR HAS THE MORAL HIGH GROUND

 How politics works. 

Democrats: tell the losers it’s not their fault that they’re losers. 

Republicans: tell the losers they can be a winner like me one day. 
 I regret to inform you that this is real 😂 nostr:note18shdtsxjzehdfuzqvfl5355uwgy676qg54n5kpyz3dfcjdp8572qj0r3ha

 I always wanted to put a bullet on the train tracks, but never had access to a bullet lol 😂 
 A psyop that gets perpetuated on young guys. 

1. You gotta fuck a bunch of ho’s. 
2. Don’t settle down until you’re 35-40 and you’ve got it out of your system. 

The group of successful guys I know with a lot of kids and a good marriage met their wife relatively young. Late teens - early twenties and then were married by 26/27 and had kids before they were 30. 

The other group of guys I know who played the field and settled down late tend to have more drama / divorce less kids on average and generally seem less happy. 
 Yeah I agree it’s worse for women on average. 
 Biggest white pill ever. 

The boomers in power will die soon of natural causes. 

And be replaced by their cowardly spineless effeminate sons.

People with no competence. Who haven’t earned anything. Inheritors who believe in cargo cult engineering. 

They have no ability to build or maintain the empires they’ve been given.

They will be trivially easy to defeat or resist.

George soros is a fearsome adversary. 

Alex soros looks like he could be blown over by a strong gust of wind. 

Change is coming. https://image.nostr.build/456d098638abc86cf4cec062d5c4fd115c8cdb769b73e14bd2212cb036651c00.jpg  
 Gap generation. Don’t have the numbers. Their opinions are irrelevant politically. 
 Gen x tend to be nomads 
 Haha the boomers that get it get it and as always they have my love and respect. 
 Not assuming anything, just stating how weak the other side is. Should embue the freedom side with courage. 
 Multiple things are true. 

America rules 🇺🇸 

Anti-Americans are scum

The American government is not America and it’s your duty and obligation as an American to shittalk it relentlessly. 
 Ethereum “maxis” own Bitcoin. 

Bitcoin maxi’s do not own ethereum. 
 He ran core scientific. Dudes a legend. I partied with him awhile back. 
 Palm kernel is and palm is not. Two different kinds. The reason palm is a “dicey” oil is because they are often mislabeled. 
 All non seed oils are high in saturated fat brosky 
 Personally I don’t eat palm oil very often, but I’d prefer it over canola or whatever

 The only time I ever get hurt in life is when I don’t trust my gut 
 When people I haven’t seen in awhile ask me “how’s that bitcoin thing going?” 

I think they’re expecting me to say something like… “oh yeah I sold it all and now I don’t have any anymore”. 

Instead I just say “it’s going great you should finally buy some” 
 Nostr seems too real to be real.  It's like some sort of pirate utopia where everyone is mask off... 
 All time great note right here 
 I got off seed oils and now all my body wants is steak 🥩 

I just eat steak like every meal lol 
 I think you could accomplish the same thing with ground beef on the cheap 
 It’s the best feeling 
 I didn’t become a Ron Paul guy until 12 unfortunately 
 That’s awesome 
 I’m glad I bought you a present yesterday lol 😂 
 How me and bro look at you in 2050 when bitcoin is 100 million a coin and you tell us we got lucky… https://image.nostr.build/4c025aab860f5ecef4cfaa1d52e2ff55cb366f2fc2c30c9de65d99c7d6e0267b.jpg
