This brilliantly sums up the Net Zero Scam

And it is a giant f’ing scam to destroy life

I think it’s just not having money for landscaping

Have you guys ever noticed that there are very few trees in poor neighborhoods

We will learn to laugh at alot of fiat things after proof of work is normalized. But not yet...

I tell people all the time, go meet your winemaker.

But that’s useless advice if you don’t know what questions to ask.

Here’s where I would start.

Your goal is to get them talking. To do that, you need to come off curious and compassionate, not accusatory. You’re not trying to catch them in a lie. You’re trying to learn how they think.

Start with sulfites.

You could say something like,

“I know all wine has sulfites, but I keep hearing they’re overused in a lot of wines out there.”

That’ll open the door. If they immediately agree, you’re probably talking to someone who’s thinking carefully about what goes in their wine. If they bristle or start defending heavy use, there’s a good chance it’s a more conventional approach. And if they’re using a lot of sulfites, they’re probably using a lot of other stuff too.

Then ask about the vineyard.

Not, “Do you spray?” That comes off combative. Instead, ask,

“What’s the biggest weed, pest, or fungus issue you deal with?”

Then follow with,

“That sounds like a nightmare. What can be done to stop it?”

Their answer is going to tell you everything. You may need to look up a spray name later, but the tone of the conversation will already have given you what you need. Listen for whether they talk about the land like it’s something they’re connected to, or something they’re trying to control.

Personally, I’m a big vibes guy.

If it feels off, if they’re defensive, cagey, or dodging the question, that’s your answer.

Trust your gut. It’s good at tasting wine too.

I just finished Tolestoy's "Family Happiness." I won't spoil the plot, but it is amazing how much it relates to the red-pill cultural conversation. Very prescient. There really isn't anything new under the sun.

When romantic intensity recedes, what does it mean to love? Our culture often views this shift as a tragedy but it's a question better left open ended. Highly recommended. Favorite quote from the book:

"A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good, and who are not accustomed to have it done to them; then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one's neighbor — such is my idea of happiness."

we like to refer to this as shrinkflation

fun fact: “Tic Tac mints contain approximately 90-94.5% sugar. However, they are legally allowed to be labeled as "sugar-free" in the U.S. because each mint contains less than 0.5 grams of sugar per serving.” 🫠

@g what would you do if you had 10 bitcoin?

That last hit hit hard huh?

They should have titled the first episode of season two “Castrated Males”.

Absurd that a civilized outpost during a zombie apocalypse sends out two teenage fucking girls as part of a recon team.

And the utter lack of any military discipline made me gag.

“Don’t pull your punches” she says at the opening of the episode. As if that grown ass man wouldn’t cleave her fucking skull if he actually punched her.

AND some skinny white bitch is supposed to be the fist of vengeance coming for Joel and Ellie. That bitch couldn’t do a fucking pull-up.

It was some of the most lesbo-woke-deluded-girlpower bullshit I’ve ever witnessed.

Cue “bigoted” white man at end of episode.

Fell asleep every time I tried to watch. Silo on the other hand

The affirmative action cast too. So gay.
