Remember that time he offered to buy Putin’s watch collection when he was convinced Putin was about to be killed?
After getting rugged by Microsoft multiple times in the ‘90s I swore I would never again build anything on a Microsoft platform again. I didn’t buy Gates’ reputation whitewashing/power grabbing post retirement tour either.
My skepticism of both Microsoft and Gates never fails to pay off.
Imagine trusting either of these entities in 2023. 
I’m convinced Putin’s timing on Ukraine so soon after Trudeau, egged on by Biden, froze the bank accounts of his own citizens who opposed them had two purposes.
1) It demonstrated to the citizens of the West who were paying attention that our governments think we are no better than their foreign enemies.
2) It demonstrated to the citizens of all other countries that Western leaders consider them to be no more than their citizens to be brought to heel.
If you aren’t familiar with Putin’s 2007 Munich Security Conference speech, you should read the transcript.
Western oligarchs being checked by external powers will be a boon to western citizens trying to live their lives. Time for these fools to feel their mortality for a change.
Let them all wonder if their private jets are safe to fly in.
There is a US gun range owned by cops which is on the US military watch list because retards on Facebook etc reported them for their name which they assume is Nazi affiliated because its name, which is cop themed, reminds the retards of Nazis. It’s all so tediously incompetent.
And no, I won’t provide sources or explain the details. But this is the reality of where we are. The military has been so completely cucked that none of them even question whether this makes any sense, they just assume the trans women in charge know what they are doing and follow orders.
Nobody in the replies guessed that is an athlete and I’m amazed by that. The highest paid idiots on the planet are all athletes, and good for them.
The replies were full of people trying to be funny naming people they are envious of, which says a lot about the state of things.
I just hope that person is able to actually hold on to the money they are making. It’s very likely they are surrounded by sharks looking to rip them off at every opportunity. Many are probably related to them. 
The number of people that women kill every year is mind boggling when you understand that abortion is murder. ≈1M people per year for 50 years in the US.
Women constantly argue for safety and use emotional manipulation to justify all manner of tyranny based on their desire to protect the children and the fact that this statistic isn’t thrown in their face every time they do that demonstrates how far modern men will go to avoid being called misogynists.
“From Man’s effeminate slackness it begins.”
Unmarried women commit the vast majority of these abortions.
The next time a young unmarried black woman screeches Black Lives Matter in your presence, let her know that 1 out of every 8 black women of child bearing age kills a black baby every year. They are responsible for 50% of all abortions in the US. 500K black people executed by black women every year. Where are the riots for all these deaths?
Women have been aborting babies for all of human history too. The scale might be a modern phenomenon, but the act itself is nothing new. Abandoning babies in the wilderness was also a common approach women used before abortion was so clinical and easily available.
I know women who became completely distraught when a pet dog or cat brought a dead mouse to the door. They spent years berating these pets for that one time they killed the defenseless cute little mouse. These same women don’t think anything about their friends and family members aborting babies at will. The fact they aren’t called out on this insane hypocrisy on a regular basis is astounding to me.
Read Genesis with all this in mind and reflect on why the story is structured the way it is.
Quit being pussies and call them out when they try their safety and “think of the children” manipulations.
You want to regulate how many bullets my gun’s magazines can hold? Let’s start by regulating how many dicks your unmarried vagina can accept. Your hedonism kills ≈30x as many people as guns do in the US every year.
I’ve never paid attention to or given a dime to the NRA, but I give to the FPC regularly and I can see it’s about that time again. 🤣 
The look on the faces of the guys behind her tells the story.
They didn’t expect that level of corruption. It’s shocking to wake up and realize the world you thought you lived in was pure fiction.
I appreciated the plot much more when I reread Atlas Shrugged a year or so ago, but holy shit did she need an editor. The writing is not great.
I expected the failure but did not expect him to admit it. I have to give him credit for that, at least.
Watching people freak out over the possible loss of the block feature on Twitter is something else.
Lots of strange bedfellows begging to keep their safe spaces where they get to dictate who can see what they say in public.
If you think people actually want the freedom that Nostr and Bitcoin deliver you are probably overestimating the average person’s desire for freedom. Look at how the average normie begs for gun control to understand what you are up against.
Musk is going to show them how to do it. Make it impossible for anyone who evades the Thought Police to be heard. Then incentivize duckspeak by giving the people who properly upsub a cut of the profits that the prolefeed generates.
Austen has ≈300K followers but works very hard to suppress all thoughtcrime and Tim has ≈1.8M but says shit that pisses off Ingsoc regularly.
As the Ministry of Truth pointed out, it isn’t about raw numbers, it’s about crimestop so the advertisers are comfortable paying for advertising. 
If he isn’t assassinated before the election he probably won’t accomplish anything anyway. But he still communicated that message better than most who have tried.
If these translations are accurate this guy is at least an order of magnitude better at communicating the problems than any other libertarian who has ever lived. He says it better in a few minutes than most do over their entire lifetime.
The diversity hire who decided firefighters shouldn’t be allowed to divert water to fight the fires believes his fire gods are more valuable than your life.
“Diversity is our strength.”
“All religions are the same and their traditional cultures should be respected.”
The only response to: “We need more progressives in Bitcoin.”
People constantly talk about how much easier the Boomers had it and in the many threads on Twitter last night where these videos were shared there were many such comments. Obviously that context was lost with my post here, so that’s on me, but that’s the sentiment I was mostly commenting on here.
When you control for age, every cohort has had similar wealth and income distributions at the same points in their lives. There are some marginal differences, but it is definitely not the case that everyone was buying cheap real estate in the ‘70s and ‘80s. Especially given the double digit interest rates.
But things will get worse at an accelerating rate if the climate hysterics get their way. The loudest voices complaining about how capitalism has stolen their futures are also the same people cheering on the green agenda to reduce the standard of living for the developed world. And none of the commentary on these videos over the last couple days, and the subject in general, have dealt with that reality.
So what they should do is quit supporting the people who have been promising them they were going to dramatically reduce their standard of living for 3 decades. And that’s the point I was trying to make, poorly.
No, I avoid their betas like the plague. Ever since Ventura shipped, macOS has gotten progressively worse. And I’m running it on a fairly high end Mac Studio. I have to reboot the damn thing every couple days just to get it to behave at all now. I used to only reboot after system updates before Ventura.
iOS has started to become almost as unstable. Not quite as bad, but I have to reboot it to get it to behave much more frequently too. And I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max.
I use Linux every day too but I use it via iTerm consoles and ssh from my Macs so I don’t have to deal with desktop Linux for all things graphical. I live in tmux+Neovim on Linux.
But I can definitely see a day coming where I have to switch back to desktop Linux. I’m not looking forward to that either, tbh.
Every OS Apple makes is currently a complete jittery glitchy cluster fucking mess. These woke incompetent fucks are going to drive me off the best hardware available just because they can’t unfuck their software. And before you know it, they will no longer have the best hardware either.
The integrated system is the value proposition. But if everything up to and including typing stops working, that integration becomes a weakness because it all breaks together.
“Anything men can do, women can do better…”
I’ve heard this nonsense my entire life starting with the ERA debate in the ‘70s. I have to admit the current culture making a mockery of this idiocy is one tiny silver lining.
They can’t even do their own sports better when competing with failed men. 
This is why I don’t waste time with nuance when it comes to climate hysteria.
A 5 year old’s feelings trump your right to mine bitcoin or heat your home for that matter.
Guess the pronouns of the judge involved. 
🤣
Sometimes the only solution is the rooftop Korean solution.
That’s a law abiding citizen doing a neighborhood patrol. They don’t have the right to bear arms, hence they lack proper arms to defend their neighborhoods from the armed criminals who would rape and pillage given the chance.
The doomers who need the US to become South Africa are missing some important facts in their analysis.
Where are the mags? Where are the NODS? Where are the rifles with thermal scopes?
This is the first problem I see with Veilid. Their anti-capitalist screeds don’t account for depending on large well resourced public nodes that run on centralized capitalist platforms and require lots of capital to operate.
And if those platforms decide they don’t want to allow such nodes? I haven’t seen the network traffic yet, but if the cloud providers can identify it, they can ban it. 
Adding Veilid to my list of things to check out once things slow down a bit for me at work later this year.
It’s about time for me to rewatch The Sopranos.
This time I won’t be able to stop wondering how many business owners in cities currently wish they could pay a well organized group of men to exact violence on any degenerates who dare fuck with their business.
Another flat earth test: who do you want planning your intercontinental flights, Globetards or Flat Earthers? Your aircraft gets to take the average amount of fuel, plus a 1 hour reserve, used for that aircraft/route combination for the last 100 flights.
Are you going to bet your life that the Globetards don’t know what they are doing with these flights plans? It’s not an accident they are shaped like that and you can get a pretty good feel for why they are if you connect those points on a globe with a piece of string. 
There are 2 artillery teams and one of them is going to target your house with your family in it. You have to choose which one.
Globetard Artillery uses MGRS, which is based on UTM, which assumes the earth is a perfect ellipsoid. UTM is highly accurate within the small zones of a few degrees East to West and UTM zones are 6° wide.
Flat Earth Artillery uses the maps created by their best cartographers based on whatever the fuck it is they believe.
Which team do you want targeting your house and family?
I just discovered that New Holland Brewing Company has a Dragon’s Milk bourbon now. I’m going to have to try it.
I have a bottle of KBS bourbon and I really enjoy it.
Something about the Michigan breweries and their stouts that I really enjoy. I was born in Michigan so maybe it’s just in my blood. Probably the lead from the water pipes 😂
