what’s the fix for the widespread social conditioning of not getting married until mid/late twenties and not having kids until early 30s

An American politician hosts a Russian politician at his very nice, upscale riverfront home. The Russian is impressed and asks him how he affords this on a legislator's salary.

The American points and says "See that $50 million bridge?"

The Russian nods.

"I got $55 million allocated to it, and through various means, I funneled $5 million of that to my own pocket in the process."

The Russian looked very impressed.

Later, the American visits the Russian, and was amazed when he saw that the Russian had an entire mansion. He asks him how he afforded it. The Russian points and says, "See that $50 million bridge?"

"No," says the American.

"Exactly," says the Russian.

Even the CIA admitted Ukraine's government was stealing money and had to stop the corruption due to the sheer size of it.

The coup has not only all of those official sources, but also Victoria Nuland's call picking the guys.

You're directly lying on the media, and I gave you the links. Further, even the New York Times wrote about the CIA firing into Russia with drones from Ukraine, PRIOR to the invasion. You are outright negligent and wasting my time

Well which point(s) are you disputing? Surely you're not suggesting you have zero facts to dispute?

Ukraine is over-run with Nazis.

Real Neo-Nazis, like the Azov Battalion, and the CIA funds them.

While they tell us, if we criticize the Israeli genocide, we're antisemitic.

Node runners, what kind of hardware do you run your node on?

What will increase?

We should always calculate future resource burdens on nodes with full blocks, if the premise is that we want Bitcoin to be used. Changing policy does not change this calculation.

Yes they can, pruned nodes fully download and validate all historical blocks. They just throw the data away once they validated it.

Pruned nodes are the way forward if we want more nodes running.

⚡️🚨🇪🇺 NEW - Major Crypto Alert in Europe — Share Widely!

The new guidelines from the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) could potentially kill public blockchains.

According to the text, which is based on GDPR principles, any “personal data” must be removable from the blockchain.

👉 If that’s not possible, the entire blockchain should be deleted.

If enforced, this would mark the end of public blockchains in Europe.

“It’s like asking to delete the Internet in order to enforce privacy,” says Marina Markezic.

“The Internet would have never survived under these rules”.

The draft proposes that:

👉 Wallet addresses are considered personal data, even if encrypted.

👉 Validators must comply with GDPR requirements.

👉 Smart contracts face risks of non-compliance.

This regulation threatens years of blockchain innovation in Europe, and could push talent, jobs, and investments out of the EU — just as the US is ramping up to become a global crypto leader.

In response, the European Crypto Initiative has called for:

👉 A coordinated response to the EDPB draft.

👉 Advocacy for privacy-enhancing technologies (ZKPs, PETs).

👉 Direct engagement with EU policymakers.

The deadline to submit public feedback to the EDPB consultation is June 30, 2025.
