GM! as I drink my coffee and ruminate, I realize I am getting older and a bit crotchety and I'm okay with that. I am so tired of hearing non-stop about fucking LLMs and having them in fucking everything. Also vibe coding. What the fuck? get the fuck off my lawn

https://www.reddit.com/r/TikTokCringe/comments/1jjpse1/his_bank_wont_allow_him_to_withdraw_money_unless/ The comments are cute. “Just close your account.” “Just go to a different bank.” “He must be a criminal, this isn’t the banks fault it’s the authorities suspecting him of crime. “ Motherfuckers have gotten too soft and comfortable thinking life is that easy and everyone is free. ITS MY MONEY AND I WANT IT NOW, like the old commercial goes. Stop being an apologist for authoritarian states and fiat bankers. Give yer balls a tug.

it’s tradeoffs all the way down

it is fucking hilarious to me that so many in this space are "freedom maxis" but hold fundamentalist religious and conservative views. eat shit you old fossils. I'm no atheist but your religion is a lot like your dick -- it's cool you're really proud of it but stop trying to shove it down people's throats ya fuck. the last thing I want is to live in a world run by religious conservatives, and I find it highly repugnant that they are so vocal in the bitcoin/nostr community, but these are technologies for freedom, which includes my enemies and people I find repugnant. "freedom maxis" my ass.

the new lightphone looks great, just add a bitcoin/lightning wallet and a password manager. just the fucking basics. that's all I want in a phone.

man reddit really hates Bitcoin, I gotta stop reading reddit

GM! If it isn’t Nostr it’s just another shitty algorithm.

Can’t zap from primal or Damus and idk why. My Albyhub is running. Frustrating

Bit late so no GM, just a GA and fuck the government

I find myself wanting to use social media less and less with each passing day. that includes nostr. when I was a kid the Internet gave my weird, nerdy, introverted self a chance to find other misfits on the weird and wild web. social media is mostly an echo chamber and a collection of in-groups or out-groups. the same vague platitudes and GMs are recycled, and just like Bitcoin podcasts it's the same old shit on repeat. if you disagree you become part of the out-group. I'm weary. I was an alcoholic/addict and those friends are either dead or gone from my life in one way or the other. I've found no tribe. I think I'm perpetually going to be on the fringe and permanently in the out-group, and I've become okay with that. Not sad, not depressed, this isn't a call for help. I've no patience or time for online arguments or disagreements Just acknowledging what I've come to realize about myself. I think I'm at the point where I would rather have the silence and solitude, maybe the company of a book, rather than change myself to make friends and join a tribe. I just don't know if I see any real value in social media at all.
