As a guy that does YouTube: they are painfully unaware of how rigged that game is.

Every week I post 5-7 videos that get on average 1.3K views each, but my “valid watch hours” to get monetized never moves despite my number of views and subs constantly increasing.

It’s a rigged game anyone playing it knows it.

Even if I DID break through, I doubt I’d make more than $20 below the million sub mark.

That’s why I set up a locals, buymeacoffee, suvscribestar, AND refer people to #nostr.

Still not a lot of money, but at least it gives people a way to pay me if they feel like it.

If your students are banking on THIS set up, then they are delusional. I at least have a real job at the same time. I recommend they do the same.

Can you be both?

What a piece of shit he is. Hopefully these mentally unstable men cut the shit.

Wow. Did you tell him to leave?

One of my favourites of theirs. Indoor or outdoor cycling?

Such a good track. Love Junior boys

How else can you deal with rejection? Roll up on the floor and cry? No!!!! get back up and ask the next one. Plenty of fish in the sea. I am a good looking guy and got my share of rejection I can only imagine a short guy!

recently I just had a woman propose plural marriage lol. Times are changing! She likes my wife. LOL and women know a real man when they see one.

One of the benefits of living alone is that you can just cook whatever and whenever you like.

People who say “see you in 3 years” once the bear market hits miss the fact that bear markets are the best time to grow your Bitcoin stack.

If you only lock in during bull markets, you’ll only ever buy the tops.

it's a peculiar and interesting thing that modern humans and their underdeveloped jaws and teeth are actually the consequence of mastering making almost every food source usable. from cooking to animal husbandry, tools like knives and mortar and pestle and fermentation.

interesting also is that part of it also is that pre-digesting food before eating it reduces the size and energy requirements for the digestive system, to redirect that to the brain.

ah yeah, and all that vegan woke obligate carnivore bullcrap. almost all organisms can digest sugars, but only omnivores and plant eaters can digest starches. you could keep a cat alive on sugar, probably, but i bet it would drop dead of kidney failure within 2 years and be very sickly the whole time.

THE CAT CAN'T DIGEST STARCH DUDE

they don't have amylase in their saliva.

there is a whole bunch of assholes running pet food companies that i would like to slap upside the head quite firmly for starting this fad of putting vegetables into cat food like they do with dog food. it's only marginally better than grain, the glue protein content is a lot lower but that's pretty relative compared to fish, beef and chicken, especially fish.

the dog can eat it, sure, it has starch enzymes sufficient to get the sugar out.

but that's almost the root cause of the difference between the physique of a wild wolf compared to his deformed cousins that we inbred and inbred until they were retarded, and when i look at what breeds are popular these days... almost all of them are so deformed they almost all have severe health problems. arthritis from excessive strain from alsatians, the breathing and pugs and other pug-like dog breeds.

and these days, there seems to be an epidemic of mouthbreathers.

it should actually be considered a red flag, if you are paying attention, when you see people with almost no chin. this is what happens when you don't keep your mouth closed most of the time, the jaw needs strain to properly develop, otherwise it doesn't grow as much as the rest of the face.

This is my politics.

If you don't know how to effectively love yourself, you can't follow the Golden Rule.

You have to teach me how to 🏄‍♂️ 🌊

Do you realize how much people envy you for that sunshine ☀️ right now?

I’m obsessed. The force is strong with you.

Exactly. You get it 100%.

He doesn't actually care about truth.

He cares about feeling validated because, despite all of his successes, he has a hole in his life he doesn't know how to fill.

He's a textbook case of the hedonic treadmill.

It's absurd to think that unmarried & childless people cannot live fulfilling and happy lives, e.g. Tesla, Newton, Sartres, Kant, & Susan B Anthony.

How long has it been since they were alive?

Do people still remember their names?

What about the people who had kids who lived next door?

Does anyone still remember their names?

How often do people think about their dead relatives from 5 generations ago?

Did you make this?

Always amazed by the fact that telling people to get married and have children seems to illicit this emotional response where some go “no, it’s not right for everyone”.

Actually, it is.

This isn’t like being interested in pickleball, this is the core of human existence.

Survive and reproduce.

It’s not a lifestyle decision.

And if you think it is you’re severely brainwashed.

It’s time to delete that bit of malware in your mind.

i think about this often

More of a scroller, you’d say. I see you comment pretty often though Drea. You engage well.

For those who keep wondering, I’m gonna put this plain and simple for you. And whoever wants to add to this may.

You’re invisible because you’re silent.

Your notes hit the relays. They exist. But you’re posting like you’re journaling, then wondering why nobody’s connecting with you.

There is no algorithm hiding you. You’re hiding yourself.

Human behavior hasn’t changed. People respond to people who engage. You want to be seen? Be social. Actual social, not “post and disappear” social.

Stop dropping 🤙 emojis like you’re collecting stamps. That’s not conversation. That’s performative participation.

Start real conversations. Reply to bigger accounts. Reply to smaller ones. Ask questions. Challenge ideas. Share your actual perspective. Make people feel like you’re there.

Your reply to post ratio reveals everything. If you’re posting more than you’re replying, you’re broadcasting, not building community.

The beauty of your world? Nobody sees it because you won’t show them. You won’t engage enough to let people in.

Nostr doesn’t owe you an audience. You build one through repeated, genuine interaction. One conversation at a time.

Stop wondering why it’s not working. Start doing the work that’s always worked: talking to people.

Now go start working. Or don’t, but don’t blame anyone else.

The Retirement Lie Will Ruin Your Life

Retirement, as we imagine it, is a modern myth. A 30-year vacation sold after World War II to make the grind of work seem worth it. But it carries a hidden poison: the belief that work is something to escape rather than something to be fulfilled by.

We are told to endure our 30s and 40s so we can finally live in our 60s. It is the TGIF mindset stretched across a lifetime. If Friday is salvation, then Monday through Thursday, and by extension our working years, are a form of suffering to be endured. Every project becomes a transaction. Every morning becomes a countdown to freedom.

That vision of life leads nowhere good. When you finally “make it,” what is left? Endless leisure sounds like paradise until you realize it starves the soul. Humans are not built for permanent rest. We are built for creation, cultivation, and meaningful contribution.

Look at those who have changed the world. They did not work to retire; they worked because the work itself mattered. They were driven by curiosity, craft, and impact, not escape. That impulse is not rare genius. It is the human default when purpose and effort align.

The tragedy of retirement culture is not that people stop working. It is that they spend decades believing work is something to run from. They hate their jobs, resent responsibility, and dream of quitting until quitting finally arrives and meaning disappears with it.

The answer is not to grind yourself into the grave. It is to never stop engaging productively with the world. True fulfillment comes when we see work not as punishment but as participation in something greater. Retirement should be a shift in pace, not a surrender of purpose.

Some will push back at this idea. They believe that once they reach the goal, they will be the exception. They think the emptiness will not touch them. But look around. The older generation right now is among the most unhappy groups you will ever meet. Now you know why.

If your life strategy is built around escaping productivity, you have already lost. The goal is not to retire. The goal is to find work worth doing until you can no longer do it.

Stop planning your escape. Start planning your contribution. Life begins the moment you stop running from work and start building something that matters.

Now build.

Cool it down with the antisemitism

Tucker is an idiot who platformed Roger ver and painted him as a victim.

They found $31 billion on a shelf like spare change. That isn’t wealth, it’s theater. Fiat doesn’t discover money, it fabricates belief. Every psyop like this props up a dying illusion. Bitcoin doesn’t need to find anything. It simply is.

🙄

You're interpreting through a sin-based theological lens. From a non-dualistic perspective, what you call "death" was actually awakening—the birth of self-awareness necessary for the soul's evolution.

God Himself confirms in Genesis 3:22: "Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil." The serpent's promise was fulfilled exactly as stated.

What you frame as "broken fellowship" and "shame" is the necessary descent into duality—what is called Maya—without which there can be no experience, no growth, no journey back to Source.

In Hinduism, Brahman must become the many to know itself. Consciousness requires contrast. It is the evolution of God, in, as, and through us.

The "death" wasn't punishment—it was transformation. The expulsion from Eden was the soul's graduation into the Realm of the Relative, where knowing oneself experientially becomes possible. Paradise without self-awareness isn't consciousness—it's oblivion.

The serpent was wise—and what Adam and Eve did was not sin, but the evolution of God.

Honestly this whole transcript is so bizarre. I have no theories. Just that it reads so badly. No one speaks like a this, surely.

I can only read this as a someone writing knowing it will be used as evidence in the near future. Even then, it's still pretty bizarre.

I’ve written two books now, and the hardest part of the process is trying to get people to read (before or after it’s published). Bitcoiners are generally better at this, but friends/family/people in my everyday life…nothing. Won’t even start reading. Why do you think this is?

I have some theories, but I’d love to hear your hot takes.

So I called my dentist today to cancel my appointment. Same day, I know, I know, I’m a monster.

Receptionist: “I’m sorry, but we require at least two weeks notice for cancellations or we have to charge you the full fee.”

Me: “Oh… well in that case, I’d like to reschedule instead.”

Receptionist: “Of course! When would you like to come in?”

Me: “How about… two weeks from today?”

Receptionist: “Perfect! You’re all set for two weeks from today”

Me: “Great! Now I’d like to cancel that appointment.”

{Very Long Pause}

Receptionist: “…Sir, you literally just made it.”

Me: “Yes, but now I’m giving you two weeks notice.”

And THAT, my friends, is how you beat the system with the power of scheduling. Pretty sure I just became the first person to achieve dental appointment money laundering.
