 I didn’t feel this way until recently. But credit where credit is due…

Trump rules. Took a bullet to save the republic. Stood up to every attack thrown at him. Hilarious. Best memes. Pisses off every commie. Mentally tough as fuck. Fights back hard against  enemies. Exposes deep state corruption just by existing. A truly legendary figure. One of the greatest presidents of all time. 
 Greatest president since JFK and it’s not even close. 
 I got trump at number 6 on the all time list.

1. Washington 
2. Jefferson 
3. Lincoln
4. Teddy Roosevelt 
5. JFK
6. Trump 
 “Convicted felon” aka victim of law fare and judicial malfeasance. 
 Do you live in Zambia? 
 remember having to make (fake) PCR tests to fly to most places? 
 I never did. Travel inside America didn’t require anything other than the face diaper 
 Heard a lot of consternation over some ECB paper or some bullshit. 

As an American though it doesn’t register, I simply can’t take our vassal states seriously. 
 We must return to tallow. Hyperbitcoinization will not be complete until we do. 
 And yet these rich Bay Area elites are doing all of this to end up with a less robust and healthy child than a couple who has children in their early 20’s. 

They want you to believe this is gattaca, but really it’s cope. https://image.nostr.build/97d10a30235ce850bb3f6573e0fe377e67cad72dfae6442fd8bbcee0c10314b1.jpg  
 Perfect 
 Had a falling out with my extended family during Covid times. Goes way deeper than Covid, lots of generational trauma stuff. 

Frankly I’ve moved on and am very happy with my life now without them apart of it. 

My cousin callled me and told me they want me back as part of the family. I just need to apologize first. 

I was like nah I’m good. I won’t be apologizing this time or ever.

Felt good.

Stick up for yourself. 

Then wake up and do it again, 

And some more the next day. 

You don’t owe anyone anything. 
 As a healthy outsider who deeply understand the toxic dynamics in the family my presence is actually destabilizing to the family structure. The apology is more about gaining control over me again, which I’m obviously not going to let happen. 
 Exactly what it is 
 lol no of course not. This isn’t a mutual thing of hey let’s all forgive and forget and put the past behind us. It’s very much a narcissistic you need to apologize to me thing. 
 At the time it was tough, but now I look back and it was so worth it. 
 I used to be the same way. 
 I have forgiven them. They just haven’t forgiven me. 
 Extremely gay, but my family is all women lol 😂 I’m the only male. 
 I know the feeling. They asked me to vaccinate myself in order to attend a wedding lol 😂 I was like nah I’m good. 
 Absolutely. I also try and be a good person for myself rather than as a shield the way many people use politeness or kindness. 
 The family members who are trying to control and emotionally manipulate me in this story are dems. 
 Shit man I wish I was too. I had to  stumble my way here over the years lol 
 Yeah I know lol I think what gets to them is that I’m not doing poorly without them. Far from it. I’m the most successful member of the family both personally and professionally. It bothers them to see me winning and I’m not serving them or sharing the pie. 
 Dear great grandchildren I just want you to know I was a like first and ask questions later kind of guy. 

Often times I like the note before I even finish reading it. 

Meaning I have liked some questionable shit on nostr lol 😂 

No regrets. 
 Lololol 
 Rewatching death note after so many years 
 I hated it 
 I like everything, I just think death proof went on way too long and light should have been captured by like episode 13 or so. 
 Penny pinching in the third world is shameless. Spread a little generosity around. They are grate... 
 Even when they try and “screw you over” it’s for like $8 lol they probably think we are dumb Americans who don’t understand we are being hustled, but what they don’t understand is $8 is nothing to us. It doesn’t even register. Like go right ahead my man and bring another round of cerveza while you’re at it pot favor. 
 Some decel retards want us to limit power consumption and have a 10x reduction in population. 

I want humans to use a hundred quadrillion more energy and have a trillions of humans spread out across the Milky Way. 
 Absolutely 
 Retarded 
 Unbothered. Moisturized. Happy. In my lane. Focused. Flourishing. https://image.nostr.build/2963a2aa751d718ed6514c9902ce8c9379bd7c80b638cda2cafae30171dac6a5.jpg  
 Same is true for everything. 

Consistency is the magic formula everyone is looking for. 

Want to get good at something? Consistency. 

Want to have a healthy body? Consistency.

Want to be rich? Consistency.

Have a good marriage? Consistency. 

Be respected? Consistency. 

You can have anything you want in the life if you apply consistent effort towards achieving it. nostr:note1lkl7ffrf2ygjasgc2mk5pe00whumxn7gtjmlt252ecpfpkvjjqlsnrcasj 
 True. You have to do the right things consistently. 
 In 2020 the winning move politically was to call everyone who voted for trump a racist. 

In 2024 the winning move politically is to call every male who votes for Kamala gay. 
 Absolutely 
 Lololol 
 Between crypto scammers trying to phish me and the politicians trying to get a donation out of me my phone never stops blowing up. lol 😂 
 People be like how does it feel to go all in on bitcoin? It feels a lot like… 

My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius.

Commander of the Armies of the North.

General of the Felix Legions

Loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. 

Father to a murdered son.

Husband to a murdered wife. 

And I will have my vengeance… 

In this life or the next. 
 I think the Catholic Church is guilty of most of this, but you know who’s even more guilty? The public school system. 
 fitness content here fell off a bit.

what you doing for exercise? 
 Mike Mentzer style high intensity shit. Heavy ass lifts twice a week til failure. 
 Depends on the lift. 
 I still bench. 285 for 8 currently working up to 315. I gave up squatting and deadlift due to a disc issue in my back so I do leg presses and hack squats instead. 
 I have an actual disc herniation from a snowboard accident 10 years ago, so nothing really helps (tried everything) but it’s manageable. 
 I only do one or two sets though in this style of training though. Not including warm up sets. 
 I don’t get volume in, this is a low volume style of training. Workouts take like 20 mins total. 
 It’s all good man. That’s life. Bar hangs help. 
 I guess picking one single person your vote has >0% chance of having a positive effect for
its on... 
 So you did all the things that won’t free Ross, but not the one thing that will free him? 

This is why libertarians always lose. 
 And they wonder why young men don’t want to vote for Harris. lol 😂 
 I’m voting for Donald Trump. 

When Ross is released from prison and stands on stage at the bitcoin conference in Las Vegas, I want to say I played a small part in creating that moment. 

If you don’t want to be a part of that fine, but don’t cheer with us as we celebrate. 

You did nothing to facilitate his freedom. 
 I’m done with this autistic argument. See you around. 
 I feel confident he will. Wanna bet on it? 
 So you did a bunch of things to help him, but won’t vote to free him because of your principles? 

Why? 
 He very much is on the ballot though in a way he was not before. Trump never made a campaign promise about Ross in 2016 or in 2020. 

2024 is different. 
 You didn’t respond to my claim. 
 Bitcoiner’s who support Trump aren’t bought into anything. Trump isn’t using us, we’re using Trump. 
 Lots of autism on nostr lol 
 Nobody knows. Welcome to American democracy. 
 Dumb 
 The bet only triggers if trump wins  (can’t pardon if he’s not elected) 

If he does pardon Ross you zap me 100k sats. 

If he fails to pardon Ross I zap you 100k sats. 

Bet expires upon completion of trumps term in 2029 
 Day one is a political slogan and not a practical reality, but I’d be open to first 100 days. 
 Yeah I should clarify it will be a commutation and not a pardon. So it’s more accurate to say commutation. 
 lol dumb 
 If 50k sats is better for you that’s ok with me. Do we have a bet? 
 Ps I should note I’m expecting a commutation and not a pardon. 
 Wut 
 Politicians are for sale. Bitcoiners have donated heavily to trump. 
 You are missing the calls for censorship from prominent left wing politicians who are apart of her current administration and will be apart of her new administration if she wins. 
 Not the same here in America 
 He did 
 No he hasn’t 
 Ok cool. Just to clarify you’re ok with a commutation instead of an explicit pardon right? Because if so we have a deal. 
 The wall is made of metal bud and there are large sections of it built 
 Perfect. It’s a bet. 
 Right. He’s not getting out of jail without trump though at this point 
 Being a man means duty and obligation. 

Duty is the root of masculine love. 

A man understands that his duty is a gift, not a burden. 

He doesn’t complain because he’s stoic, but because there’s nothing to complain about. 

He enjoys being responsible for others. 

Seeing those under him happy and healthy. 

He knows he provides that and without him the world would be a much darker place for those he loves. 
 Firstly I don’t think I ever said “I put my wife out to pasture” lol I did retire my wife that’s true. 

She is a stay at home mom by choice. She doesn’t want to work. She has her masters degree and could always go back to work if she wanted, but she enjoys being a full time mother. Contrary to what many believe being a SAHM is a status symbol these days. 

As far as me saying she’s one of the people under me. Yes she is under my protection, care and provision. I create an environment in which those I love are safe and protected.

P.S. I’ve done DMT, psylocibin etc… many times. 
 Nah 
 I want to see you truly live
