 The centralization of birth and death at the hands of the state is an unfortunate  period i fear humanity will have to live through sometime near the end of or shortly after my lifetime. 
 Frighteningly we are very close to artificial womb tech in combination with gene editing tools like crispr you can imagine a whole terrible new wave of “ethical” eugenics that will be too tempting for the malthusians currently running our state to resist. 
 My dad was a big lecturer. About half of his worldview turned out to be correct. Pretty decent hit rate honestly. The lectures were the only thing I appreciated about our relationship. 
 lol occasionally necessary 
 Bro what if we never bought bitcoin? 

Do you know how fucked we’d all be? 
 Does an obvious meme/joke really require explaining? 
 I know I’ve gone really hard and deep on frustrations with the democrats. I’ve made my case t... 
 Counterpoint: How can the republic survive when the incoming administration works hand in glove to suppress direct evidence of corruption against them with our premier intelligence agency thus affecting the outcome of the election? 
 I’m talking about the direct evidence of pay to play style corruption on the laptop, I don’t care about hunter smoking crack or whatever. 

It was suppressed on purpose by the fbi. You know the very organization that is supposed to be investigating and prosecuting corruption. 
 So how did uptober go? Any numbers on that?? 
 About 20% upmove 
 It’s a good life 
 These are the cheapo ones haha but they work good. 
 lol 😂 love hickock 
 HHahaha new pfp 
 Haha there’s no one on that list. Defensive purposes only. 
 Haha nah I’m expecting the election to go well 
 This pistol is a Glock 17 with radian afterburner and RMR 
 I’m running the Trijicon RMR Type 2 RM01 on this one. Have had it for a few years now. Love it. Obviously having a strong foundation with iron sights is important, but personally I run optics on most of my stuff. 
 And eating a steak 
 I didnt vote. but if i had, this would have been a factor, even though I strongly doubt Ross will... 
 Still time to vote 
 No he didn’t. You won’t find any record of that because it never happened. 
 NC is a close race. You should definitely vote. 
 If trump wins Ross will be granted clemency 
 Who’s rights has he restricted? 
 It confuses me how you think that’s an appropriate answer to the question I asked you. 
 You made a claim. I’m asking you to back that claim. You can’t back it though so now you are trying to project onto me. 
 Isn’t this the dude who claims he invented email or some dumb shit like that? Seems like a scammer. 
 This convo was as pointless as I expected 
 Are you doing them because you’re weak coward or because you like doing them? Lol 😂 
 Vote for what you care about.🤙🏽

Voting for what your influencer wants is fucking retarded.... 
 Agreed and the thing I care about is Bitcoin and freeing Ross. 
 I’ll say whatever I want whenever I want. 

That’s both a nostr thing and an American thing. 
 Blah blah blah Free Ross 
 Why even waste the time voting? Sounds pointless. 
 Here’s how it is. 

Voting for Kamala = voting to keep Ross in prison 

Not voting = voting to keep Ross in prison 

Voting for trump = medium to strong possibility that Ross is free’d from prison. 
 You have not found success in open source until deranged people start threatening you. 🤣 
 The next level up is when the deranged are your fellow contributors lol 😂 
 I was going to vote for trump and Vance anyway, but it sure is nice to be able to hear them for 6 collective hours unedited on Rogan so that you have a more complete view of how they think and what their plans are. 

As an informed voter I would like to have the same 6 hours of Harris and Walz. So that I could form the same view of them. 

Unfortunately they are either too scared to sit in the hot seat or too controlled to be allowed to do so. 

One thing that changed this election is the shift from traditional to alternative media. 

I suspect trump is going to win and going forward candidates will be expected to sit for 3+ hours with Rogan or an equivalent program. 
 lol no I can’t, but I also can’t imagine her dumbass being president. 
 Reading something he said sarcastically as though it was real is some smooth brain shit frfr 
 I’m not reading all that. You’re misrepresenting something. Admit that and then move forward. 
 Again bro I’m not reading all that cope 
 Blah blah blah Free Ross 
 All fair criticisms of him. No candidate is perfect.

 Probably never. I think that one with Saylor was a one shot deal. 
 nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs - where do you think we are... 
 Disbelief 
 It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Teddy Roosevelt on citizenship in a republic 
 Men used to be made of stronger stuff 
 Using the word “crypto” makes you sound retarded. 
 I’ll use whatever words I want cutie pie 😘 
 It’s my genuine belief that Kamala Harris’s IQ is a few points below the national average. 
 “Polarizing” are you even an American? 
 Then why do you care? None of this concerns you in the slightest. 
 I’m me. I do stuff. 
 It’s starting 
 100k by thanksgiving day 
 I call it state sponsored propaganda often as well. 
 Fake news is good, but has become a bit of a meme. Propaganda is a trigger word that makes people who aren’t awake yet (idiots) take it more seriously. 
 IT IS INSANE THAT VOTING MACHINES ARE NOT OPEN SOURCE. 
 Insane that we even have voting machines. Paper only. 
 True. I’m ok with that. 
 The more women that think like @CARLA the stronger America will be. nostr:note1sm5v2gput5gdusd8htajr4wvqaadp80ckj8fek03qug9wl7aeyssue7r46 
 Absolutely 
 YouTube/google is shadow banning the fuck out of the Rogan/Trump interview. 

Outright censorship from a supposedly “neutral” platform. 

So here’s the link 🔗 https://youtu.be/hBMoPUAeLnY?si=d15WNZNqx4Bp4_9p

Enjoy! 
 Thank you for not being retarded like the retard above. 
 It would have 100 million + if they weren’t censoring it from search. 
 Conjecture? Those are typical views for a Mr beast video. It’s not that hard for a YouTube trending video to get to a hundred million. This is the most cultural relevant and iconic podcast episode in history. It’s got 1/3 of that while being shadow banned in search on both YouTube and google. It’s not conjecture. It would easily be 100+ 
 When I was younger I thought “wow if everyone believes that it must be true” 

Now that I’m older I think “if everyone believes that it must be wrong” 
 You’re misreading my original statement by taking it as an absolute. Which is fair because I didn’t clarify it fully. To put it succinctly I’m saying that my search for truth remains the same but the starting point has changed. 

I’m not debating you so I’m not deploying tactics. Just sharing observations. 
 Bro gentle parenting is so cringe lol 

I’m listening to a mother have a struggle session with her unruly toddler, sometimes you just gotta pick these kids up and be like cut the shit. 
 Who said beat kids? 
 Bro when am I gonna get to open this fucking bottle. 

It’s been in my fridge for 3 years now lol 😂 https://image.nostr.build/e47c9c159c38b79e455b68cb791c12aeaaa178623f1cb5d7a5c0e7279f3cf4df.jpg  
 Excited lol let’s drink some fancy champagne 
 I have one too. Saving it for a million.
