Do not take the black pill, Anon.

When I hear people say “what I like about [insert country] is that it’s multicultural”, I hear “what I like about [insert country]’s culture is the foreign cultures”.

Strolling down the market and it’s the fifth person to say my baby is the cutest in the world. It must therefore be true. #dadstr

Every now and then in a relationship, you get reminded that your wife isn’t the same thing as a friend. Like when you get a little too honest with her new hairstyle

If you are thinking of skipping the gym and it’s leg day, ask yourself “would I go if it was chest day?” If the answer is yes, you are a pussy. #gym #workout

France’s 🇫🇷 government is not seizing its citizens savings to finance its rearmament. This is what they mean by “mobilizing” private funds (🪡 🧵) #nostrfr #bitcoin

Bodybuilding tip to build mind muscle connection: Do exercises that focus on deep stretch and squeeze with lighter load on days that a muscle is still slightly sore (like seated chest flies a day or two after a heavy bench day). The soreness will make you feel the squeeze so much lot more.

Before becoming a dad, I have heard the phrase « you will only learn what love is once you have a child » several times. One month in, and I would like to edit « love » by « patience ». #dadstr

Update: The “unproductive” wealth tax (including crypto-assets) in France 🇫🇷 which was proposed by the senate to replace the real-estate wealth tax was REMOVED from the 2025 Budget proposal (Projet de Loi de Finance) following the joint committee (commission mixte paritaire) review on Friday 31/01. The final text was adopted by the gouvernement on Monday 03/02. #nostrfr #france #tax View quoted note →

Tell me Trump’s idea to abolish the federal income tax is real. What would be the legislative pathway in the US to vote on something like this? #asknostr #trump #incometax #usa

There is a lot of confusion today regarding the new “unrealised capital gains” law in France 🇫🇷. Let me clarify the situation: The news refers to amendments adopted by the Senate on 23/01/2025 as part of the financial budget for 2025. This is not yet adopted as it must still be made into a final version by a joint-commission (on the 30/01/2025), before being finally voted by the National Assembly. These exact proposals have already been voted by the senate in 2022, 2023 and 2024 but were put down by the National Assembly each time. The two proposed amendments relating to crypto-assets are: * Increase in the tax rate on realised capital gains from 30% to 33%. Currently, the annual tax-free allowance is €305, and all gains above that are taxed 30%. * Rebranding of the “Tax on real-estate fortunes” to the “Tax on unproductive assets fortunes” which widens the scope of assets considered. Note: This is not a tax on unrealised capital gains but rather an annual tax calculated on the total net value of your wealth on the 1st January of each year. If adopted, the following changes will apply: a) Beyond real-estate, assets now include financial accounts (current accounts, investment accounts, funds), tangible personal property (luxury items, cars, yatchs, private jets), Intellectual property of which you are not the author or inventor, and crypto-assets. Art pieces, collectibles and antiquities are exempt. b) The applicability threshold for this tax will be raised from €1.3m to €2.57m to account for the larger scope of assets; c) Tax brackets are as follows: - Less than €800k = 0% - >€800k-1.3m = 0.5%; - >€1.3m-2.57m = 0.75%; - >€2.57m- 5m = 1%; - >€5m-10m = 1.25%; - >€10m = 1.5%. @No Bullshit Bitcoin @Bitcoin News #france #tax #unrealisedcapitalgains #crypto #bitcoin View quoted note →

It would be very useful to have a ‘translate post’ function on Nostr #asknostr #primal

Incoming : new Bitcoin pleb 👶🏼 A few years ago, Bitcoin was a complete paradigm shift for me and rewired my mind towards delayed gratification and long-term thinking. Today, the long-term horizon just got a whole lot longer ! #baby #fatherhood
