 People who think they should be able to make a safe space on the internet are, and have always been, retarded. 
 I personally have fun staying poor 
 This is so sweet 🥰 And no pig will be hurt 🌱 
 I would definitely eat pork out of this bowl 
 A vanity fair article that uses the pejorative "conspiracy theroists" to describe unknown sources. 
 If the article is written by msm and uses that pejorative, the general rule of thumb is that it can be dismissed outright. https://image.nostr.build/ceac4183220803799c1246d0c976f3a79a02e698c7af2c974b0dd04f3d02b64b.gif 
 One week in, Trump hasn’t ended Putin’s war on Ukraine yet. 
 One week into what? 
 Lol, is there anyone alive that believed that? The man speaks in hyperboles almost exclusively.

Please continue to hold him to his word though.  It's an entertaining exercise in futility. 
 Orange day, orange evening

 I am done with posting #Bitcoin ATH price updates. It’s just pumping too fucking hard.

 Shout-out to everyone who lost their stack in blockfi and Celsius trying to earn an extra 2% yield 
 We'll see if etfs or mstr collapse is what sparks the crash this cycle. My money is on coinbase folding due to rehypothication. That will completely fuck the etfs.

 Pretty sure JC is the literal definition of this. 
 Bruh, where's the drone shot? 
 This looks like AI 
 That may just be because I've never seen trump read a prewritten speech with zero "weaving" 
 I come alive on nostr as it gets closer to Christmas. Hopefully I stay around more 
 “At Christmas I no more desire a rose Than wish a snow in May’s new-fangled mirth; But like of each thing that in season grows.” 
 It's your actions that tell the story of your life. Not your intentions. 
 Damn, missed it.  When RSS? 
 In Canada, you must show ID to vote, cast a paper ballot, which is counted by hand

Because we're... 
 The BC election that just took place had electronic counters 
 That was understood. I just thought it may be of interest. 
 I suppose so. It's so weird how the last election cycle has been so full of week long "verifications" of who won.  More weird that nobody seems to care or think to suspect foul play. 
 "Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder." 
 What I think is interesting about this idiom is the notion that an observer is what gives a thing the quality of beauty.  Without an observer, there is none.  It is the answer to the question: "If a tree falls in the woods and no one hears it, does it make a sound?" 
 Exactly what im saying. No observer, no beauty. 
 I didn't know how badly I never wanted wanted to see this. 
 I miss search results without Amazon junk 
 I miss search results without the first page being ads 
 I believe David Bailey like I believe in the tooth fairy 
 Republicans: party of victims

 Just finished The Fountainhead.  It's an interesting and relevant take on the state of modern building.  Not perfectly descriptive of the issues, but I suppose that wasn't really the point.  
I chuckled pretty hard at the electrician hating on architects.  Its true that tradesman don't have much respect for a builder who has never spent time working on tools. 
 They could refuse to hire a man for any reason they like, or rent an apartment for any reason as well.  Women have requirements that men do not.  Women take more days off work, are more sensitive and cause more nuisance with complaints and grievances than men do.  That is a fact.

 Forcing employers to hire them or landlords to house them at the point of a gun didn't make society better, nor did it release Women from any type of bondage. It did the exact opposite. Most men don't work because we want to, we work because we have to.  The same is now true of the vast majority of women.  By doubling the labour force, we cut the value of that labour by half, and now women who would like nothing more than to stay at home and raise children don't even have that option unless their partner is in the top 5% of earners.  Women's "liberation" was a psyop and you've been tricked into believing that you are more free when in fact you have all become slaves to the system that traditionally only shackled men.

 And yet, luckily for bitcoiners, the price of bitcoin has been largely unaffected to date. 
 Michael Saylor’s speech writer is Justin Trudeau.

 One day you’ll realize that there’s an invisible rule book. 

It doesn’t exist on paper any... 
 This is true on several levels and the realization happens about a different set of invisible rules at every stage of development. 
 My literal nightmare 
 Every human social order is built on a foundation of violence. 

Except bitcoin. 
 A dubious claim that requires a very narrow definition of social order
