Since at least 4chan, every uncensored public forum sheds leftist arguments within a year, or when the forum grows past low 100’s of thousands of users. Without severe moderation, socialist ideas collapse under the slightest scrutiny and retreat to heavily censored spaces.

The texts from non-bitcoiner friends are accelerating…

Prior to Starlink, in 2016/17 I built this in the middle of nowhere Wyoming. Took me about 5 months to figure out. A cheap solar panel, a couple car batteries in a tool box, and microwave about 200 yds to receivers in n the house. Tried fiber lines etc…and always had power issues. Linked up to a cell tower about 19 miles away, and got ~15 mbps down. Never any downtime in 5 years. Then Starlink showed up and I plugged it in, kinda sorta pointed a dish up, and had 140 mbps down in like 3 minutes. Still amazed several years later.

Not engaging, or caring, about politics locally or otherwise is not stoic. It’s NPCism. It doesn’t take billions to be a live action player.

Casually marketing ketamine IV’s (not to mention ayahuasca) to the general public is insane.

Vibe today.

Highly recommend.

Please treat @HODL like you always have as he recovers from the assault I put on him. Doctors believe he may have permanent loss of running the football effectively. Don’t stare at the wounds, that would be rude.

A new crying meme is born courtesy of the Austin American Statesman.

I seriously suggest people stop Doordashing and Uber eating if you live in a reasonably safe area. Inviting the (in many cases) barely not homeless to case your neighborhood and house is a bad trade off.

GM. If you’ve been getting 10% raises (or returns) every year since 2020, you’re substantially poorer today than you used to be.

For the next few months I will refrain from Texas posting as I publicly shame these bitcoin dorks each week. The McCaffrey bros can’t be stopped. View quoted note →

The anatomy of how we get lower rates, AKA what goes on in Jackson Hole.

Most valuable fund in the world, worth their 2 & 20… Buy Bitcoin, hold for 12 years (3 cycles). No trading, no early disbursements, no leverage. Shocked it doesn’t exist.

I wanted to like it but this Immortality Key book from Muraresku is almost as rough as Sapiens. Not quite as clearly wrong and cringe, but not far off. I must be missing something because many people I like find it persuasive.

I will not be outbid by Tim Draper this time. Those Silk Road coins belong to us.

Twitter (by fiat) and Nostr (by design) are the only mass media where large scale truthful statements are even possible. Twenty years of the “social media revolution” and we’re in this shocking place. In retrospect, it was inevitable.
