 I remember this one time I also met Satoshi.

 WE ALL MET SATOSHI

 I met Satoshi too.  
 This has got to be the absolute worst resume ever.  
 Bitcoin pumping and long term rates going up is signaling the market is betting on more inflation... 
 There was going to be more inflation no matter what.  
 Bitcoin doesn't fix this.
Fixing the money doesn't fix the world.
HODLing doesnt fix the world.

... 
 Fixing the money fixes the incentives. That fixes the degenerate behavior over a longer period of time. There's a reason when Rome fell it was full of pervertedness and pedophilia. Much like you see today. It's the incentives. It's the money. High time preference society.  
 High time preference. No thought for the future or how actions affect it. So thought of making a traditional family go out the window for short term pleasure. Indulgimg in degenerate behavior for personal pleasure.  
 There is nothing wrong with a little McDonald's from time to time. Notice the small soda and not a huge drink... 
 Good rebuttal...  
 Alcohol is literally poison and it's okay to drink in moderation.  
 It's like if I said you were full of shit because you use Alby but advocate for self custody... 
 You cannot redeem $MSTR for BTC 
 You cal sell it for dollars and buy BTC.... So I'm 2x long 😂 
 Yes it's low 4 digit investment. I prefer hodling... But damn Ive made a situation in the last few weeks. I'm very close to my target, so when it reaches an amount that I can sell and reach my BTC rather, I'm selling it all. 100k BTC would probably do it.  
 A shit load*  
 one refreshing thing about bluesky is that it has reliable notifications (also when someone follo... 
 Primal has follow notifications.  
 What other kind of bots were on Twitter that you wish we had on nostr? 
 I started a discord message bot of you want to use it for anything 
https://github.com/0ceanSlim/ndmBridge 
 Make any channel on discord into a nostr feed.  
 A wishlist client would be neat.  
 No disrespect to our lovely nostr advocates and marketers - how might nostr hire the BlueScam chi... 
 It might help but it's not needed imo.  
 Because Elon bought twitter...

 Alright I think I finally fixed event purging for grain 🌾 

I may disable the whitelist for wheat but I'll purge events on a 4 hour basis and remove events from unwhitelisted pubkeys of they are older than 2 days. 

Stay tuned for that. New release first.  
 I know I'm in the minority but I feel like physical combat sports like MMA UFC wrestling and such are so primitive. Human beings shouldn't be subjecting themselves to this in the 21st century. Its coliseum type behavior. Animalistic. Robot wars should be the norm. I think less of people that watch fighting for entertainment. Monkey brains.  
 Just because I don't like watching people fight doesn't mean I think you shouldn't have to know how.  
 But that would be why I carry firearms. Fuck your fists, I live in the 21st century.  
 Ooo large scale machine battles could be pretty cool. Imagine a point system like Warhammer but in real life with robots. Mega cool.  
 There's more to surviving than being a brute 
 Yes, survival entails gathering food. You gunna eat those people you eliminated? I suppose you can survive being a brute alone of it involves cannibalism. You still need to know how to cook. Unless you just want to eat raw humans.  
 Yea I don't go to those places... And I still carry a gun when I have to unless it's an actual government building. Concealed is concealed.  
 Why would I not? The guy advocating for guns over fists is the "though guy" ? Get a grip dude.  
 I don't really ever take flights... You're just an idiot to think you shouldn't need a gun when you're well within your rights to have one. Not bringing better defense only to seem physically superior is the though guy persona.  
 I don't need a gun to feel safe. I have a gun because it makes me safer. There's a difference.  
 Thinking a gun doesn't make you safe doesn't mean you're ough. It just means you're stupid.  
 You're right about that.  
 What are you, some kind of tough guy ? /s 
 I've taken flights before. Like you know, to Japan and Paris and Germany and Jamaica... But I have 2 small children now so I don't do a lot of international traveling. The man is the one with a wife and children and smart enough to carry a gun to defend them.  
 Oh yeah. Do they still do current stuff? 
 Seems to me like one of us has a lot more to lose. Ignorance is bliss.  
 Yes I never said you shouldn't need to learn fighting. It's a very important skill to have to your point.  
 Where at? 
 When did I say it was an instant safety net. If the opponent has a gun, the best defense is a gun.  
 Yea but they don't run their hand first and then go to the gun. It's the opposite way.  
 Yes, I never said learning to fight is dumb. Just watching people fight.  
 Gonna don't make me feel safer. They factually make me safer... 
 My point is there are many other more sophisticated ways to do this.  
 I would probably do that too fwiw. The last thing I want to do is shoot someone. A giant headache and a moral weight for the rest of your life. A car isn't worth it.  
 One of the best things to happen to me was having to work through how wrong i was about Trump in ... 
 HE'S LITERALLY HITLER. (even though we already had 4 years with Trump and it was all pretty good until COVID hit and the bureaucracy came crashing in with so much pressure, not even Trump could withstand it)  
 While I do agree seed oils are bad, they're not causing obesity.

Obesity is caused by overeating... 
 This is a snapshot of a few of our dinner options for the week. We normally eat REAL food. But aligning what nostr:nprofile1qqsw9n8heusyq0el9f99tveg7r0rhcu9tznatuekxt764m78ymqu36cpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuat50phjummwv5hszymhwden5te0wahhgtn4w3ux7tn0dejj7qg4waehxw309an8yetwwvh82arcduhx7mn99uuwx66a says here, we definitely eat stuff like Chick-fil-A and McDonald's from time to time too. It's not all about extremes like seed oils are going to kill you the moment they touch you. It's about moderation and portion sizes. Our dinner and lunch portions are WAY smaller than the average American. Below the menu is an average portion for us, and yes, it's filling because our stomachs are used to it. Stop eating mega portions and drinking sodas all day. This is the vast majority of obese people's main problem.

 They could give them all nip05s very easily though. All my bots have NIP5s 
 Decentralize yourself 
 What are you doing to decentralize your whiteness? 😂 
 What's the best #FOSS version of chromium that will run on windows? #asknostr
Brave
Dooble
Falkon
Konqueror
Otter
qutebrowser
Supermium
ungoogled-chromium 
 Yea but ungoogled cheomium is a fork of chromium  
 Is there an MSI or exe anywhere? The repo is all in python and the releases are mostly for Linux but even the all versions just contains source code. I guess I could try compiling it myself.  
 Thanks! I wonder if I was just looking at a different repo.  
 Thanks for the repo link 😉 no way there's ungoogled cheomium for Android is there? 
 the government is bad at everything...

why do we pay them half our life ? 
 They have more guns than me... It's certainly not by choice.  
 My cudesac could probably give them a run for their money tho.  
 Sorry, not sorry. I’m grateful to NVK and Coinkite for providing solid products and not skimpin... 
 There is no motive to wheat and create division. There's a lot of motive to shut down a competitor. Believe what you want, but it doesn't make sense.  
 S.w.a.n. 
 LLMs are a learning tool. Dan't skip the learning part. Ask it for the answer and then keep askin... 
 YES 
 The place with the most opportunities on Earth is not America, it's the Internet. 
 Okay but after the internet, it's America right? 
 What's your go-to Bitcoin online resource for noobs to study? 
 My audio bookshelf  
 Warhammer 40k is really fucking with my stacking ability right now...  
 None. I'm getting into it. Going to get a salamander army together.  
 That's really why I'm just now starting. I always wanted to play but never had anyone I know I to it and the LGS is hit and miss... Lot of socially awkward people ya know. But now I've got 3 close friends getting into it. Playing Tau, Tyranids and Necrons.  
 Nice! I had actually already gotten the tip to use plastic cement and exactly that brand too.  
 Boycotting a great HWW like Coldcard because  of a dispute regarding a gimmick e-ink clock is sil... 
 I don't think no anyone uses or ever said they were security devices... They're clocks.  
 It's not about the clock. It's about threatening an open source competitor to your product. It's not right.  
 You can't pay debt with bitcoin, and there is a lot of debt floating around. Debt that has to be ... 
 I fail to see the point of this note. Bitcoin can be exchanged for dollars and thus, for debt denominated in dollars...
