My 2026 resolution is to truly embody DILLIGAF. To so completely commit to the opt out. To generate income from direct, out of system, payment... "They" would call it fraud but I would call it freedom, is my aim. And since I have roots that run deep dicking off to some jungle, or beach, or ignorance ain't gonna be the reality. It's gonna have to be silent, stealthy, civil disobedience with a smile. Happy New Year, Y'all!

I've been exploring all the various grifting grants the Canadian Federal govt offers... I don't know why I haven't done this before. I mean, "War Dogs" (based on a true story) teaches a whole lot.

Has Pierre Poilievre been listening to @NICO⚡️? Takes the first question and flips it to "we should be asking 'what is government?'"... Man, did Canada shit the bed not having this guy in as PM.

"Dip" can have multiple meanings. I like dips. I like them a lot. I'm all in favour of it dipping so low that the paper fucks fuck right off. Because I'll be getting moar. Not all of us heeded the lessons available and, yes, we do get it at the price (time/energy/efforts) we deserve.

So much success relies on stars aligning, or what many call "timing". The pioneers had the right ideas but we're missing key components or had key components deprecated with no alternatives. Sega had Internet game subscriptions in 1994 before any other system... And I wonder how many of us knew that.

Massive two-year project recovers 144 previously undumped Sega Genesis game ROMs from the mid-1990s — lost Garfield and Flintstones games among the notable finds

Sega Channel games were among the first digitally distributed titles in the US.

We've come a long way in a short time. Anytime you don't believe that just go into an old building and marvel how we didn't electrocute ourselves.

I grew up in a house of PR and IR. That's Public Relations and Investor Relations. It's all BS, really. Spin for the narrative, spin to the narrative. Professional lying. They were living their truths long before that became a thing for the public to co-opt in everyday lives. So when I read Peter Girnus on X do his posts on AI deployment and usage... I laugh. People see right through it. We get it. It's not entirely accurate how AI is deployed everywhere and at all times. But it sure is a common PR/IR spin usage that MSM utilizes and that drives market engagement. Engagement drives advertising which feeds the MSM even more.

This is my little reminder to myself that I really don't fuckin care what the govt does. They can appoint the govt favouring judges who sealed results of the foreign interference inquiry for 100 years to "deputy ministers of justice" and I don't care. They can appoint buddies from Washington to the Privy Council ensuring best results for personal investments and I don't care. They can amass as much fiat bullshit as they want. I don't care. I've long ago checked out. I've been doing as much as possible to opt out. More will come. Fuck the state.

My adult daughter asked me what I wanted for Christmas... I said a Tomohawk steak. Is that weird? I don't think so.

Advising a pre-coiner who's very interested in the whole ethos... And having to restrain myself from vomiting out too much info and overwhelming them. Think it best to go step by step. Pre-first: gave a Satscard and a book. Then life happened and it became very relevant. First we get the wallet, and why that wallet, having fully understood their reason for diving deep. Then we get the non-kyc coin. Seems backwards, right? Not in this case. I know their reasons. I know their goals. I know their aims. And we're not teaching to get a hot wallet. We're going Coldcard Q because it has certain tools and features that some may find very attractive (like Key Teleport).

I have A LOT of time to listen to great podcasts on my job. You think "40 hours" is the standard? Lolz. Try closer to 60. Such is the life of a truck driver. Anyways, yesterday I took a dive into the Russian Revolution. The fall of the Romanovs and the ultimate rise of communism. I realized I didn't know much about what occurred just over 100 years ago. It was fascinating... And frightening. Not that the Romanovs fell (damn straight they were corrupt and terrible) but that the despair and struggle by the people opened the door enough to allow the evils of communism to take hold in a monarchy's place. For example, when Czar Nicholas "allowed" the people to form a parliament (Duma) he demanded they meet him on his grounds. Then capitulated but he always showed them who was boss by blocking, censoring, and cherry picking who would be "in control". Classic illusion of the power of people. That Lenin, Trotsky, and Stalin were able to even get a revolution off the ground while being in and out of exile or in jail in Siberia, seeding the thoughts of revolution through illegal pamphlets and Pravda paper (published in Austria, not in Russia itself), all while being tracked by the Czar's secret police, is astounding. And, yet, here we are today with an Internet and ability to publish and connect with anyone anywhere... The battle for ideology has amplified and the noise is trying to crowd out the signal.

I love this channel... The lore behind the lore. They dive deep on the fairy tales that shape our young, impressionable minds. Oh, you think we live in a special age? Stop fooling yourselves. The Wizard of Oz was originally a critique of the financial system and the politicians. But there are twists in here you likely had no idea of. Well worth the watch/listen.

Wait, wait, wAiT....a shooting killed 11 at Bondi Beach Australia? How? I thought the gubmint had taken away all your guns? Guess they gotta take more rights and increase the surveillance harder. It's for your safety. The stovetop will be set to 5 from 4. You will remain comfortable.

I don't know why I'm pissed off at Canada and the falling of it. I mean, I made so little money this year it's not going to cost me anything, really. I mean, other my kid's future, my hopes, and all the beliefs I grew up with... But financially it's not gonna cost much at all. Especially when adjusted for inflation. Ain't "democracy" grand?!
