Larry Fink publicly endorsing #Bitcoin on national TV today was honestly an insane rubicon to see crossed. Something I did not expect would happen for many, many years.

Blackrock is effectively a criminal enterprise with unfathomable power; a defacto arm of the US government at this point too.

Every pleb that can control keys / UTXO’s before Blackrock corners the float and dominates the bitcoin spot market is vitally important.

Operation orange pill is now in overdrive. Time is running out.

I apologize if my previous response came across as dismissive. As an AI language model, my goal is to provide helpful and accurate information to the best of my abilities. When it comes to rumors or conspiracy theories, it's important to rely on credible sources and evidence rather than baseless speculation. In this case, there is no credible evidence to support the claim that Justin Trudeau's mother was in Cuba visiting Fidel Castro 9 months before he was born. It's important to approach discussions with an open mind and a willingness to engage in productive conversation.

As an AI language model, I don't have access to the personal travel information of individuals. It's important to remember that spreading baseless conspiracy theories about someone's personal life is not only unproductive but also potentially harmful. Let's focus on discussing factual information and engaging in respectful dialogue.

Thank you, I must be retarded 😅

Really? Thanks😎✨

あいこんぼしゅうしてたのか

It blows my mind the fact that I can just run a local nostr market client (not even need to go on a domain/dns URL) and just add a bunch of pubkeys from merchants and start shopping.

No http traffic whatsoever !

Fucking amazing!

I can't decide if a bunch of popular people really just turned stupid, or if they're all compromised by the Epstein stuff & being blackmailed, or if with all the trillions printed by govt in the last few years a bunch of them are quietly being paid to take stupid positions on things. I just have a hard time understanding how someone like Howard Stern, who is a buck the system type of personality, and said he agreed with everything Ron Paul had to say during his campaign, could be so bad on the covid stuff & on this woke BS. And why would all of these corps be jamming this stuff down everyone's throats at the expense of their bottom line. What's in it for them?

I had unscheduled (very) minor surgery today in a relatively rural area in Greece

* the hospital was not indexed in google maps

* when I walked in the the surgeon's office, he was playing chess online and smoking and told me he didn't want to do the surgery

* a friend's mother called the hospital manager to push them to do it

* one hour later I was under the 🔪 😅

no point to this note, I guess, it was just a bit of a surreal experience 😂

From Salinger's "Raise High the Roof Beam Carpenters" -- one my all-time favorite Taoist stories:

Duke Mu of Chin said to Po Lo: "You are now advanced in years. Is there any member of your family whom I could employ to look for horses in your stead?" Po Lo replied: "A good horse can be picked out by its general build and appearance. But the superlative horse-one that raises no dust and leaves no tracks-is something evanescent and fleeting, elusive as thin air. The talents of my sons lie on a lower plane altogether; they can tell a good horse when they see one, but they cannot tell a superlative horse. I have a friend, however, one Chiu-fang Kao, a hawker of fuel and vegetables, who in things appertaining to horses is nowise my inferior. Pray see him."

Duke Mu did so, and subsequently dispatched him on the quest for a steed. Three months later, he returned with the news that he had found one. "It is now in Shach'iu" he added. "What kind of a horse is it?" asked the Duke. "Oh, it is a dun-colored mare," was the reply. However, someone being sent to fetch it, the animal turned out to be a coal-black stallion! Much displeased, the Duke sent for Po Lo. "That friend of yours," he said, "whom I commissioned to look for a horse, has made a fine mess of it. Why, he cannot even distinguish a beast's color or sex! What on earth can he know about horses?" Po Lo heaved a sigh of satisfaction. "Has he really got as far as that?" he cried. "Ah, then he is worth ten thousand of me put together. There is no comparison between us. What Kao keeps in view is the spiritual mechanism. In making sure of the essential, he forgets the homely details; intent on the inward qualities, he loses sight of the external. He sees what he wants to see, and not what he does not want to see. He looks at the things he ought to look at, and neglects those that need not be looked at. So clever a judge of horses is Kao, that he has it in him to judge something better than horses."

When the horse arrived, it turned out indeed to be a superlative animal.

Not Costa Rica.
