Why are you gay?

Who says I'm gay?

You are gay.

Amazing a pathetic dweeb like Blair spends his time wanting to fuck humanity over. Yeah there’s many others but boy oh boy what a tragic case of complete cunt he is.

I’ve learned the hard way.. I got a Bitcoin loan to buy more bitcoin in 2020 because S2FX model said Bitcoin was going to $100k by the end of the month.

It didn’t.. and I lost 80% of my entire stack trying to cover my loan LTV before it was margin called anyway.

Now I stay humble and stack sats. If it goes down it’s a blessing to stack more, if it goes up it’s worth more.

If any plans rely on the price being x by y, it’s not a good plan. Just stack as much as you can that you can happily not use for more than 4 years.

Yes but allow more accurate gsm triangulation, its dangerous for freedom. That allows more accurate tracking of every user of phones

You already have everything you want, it's just not where you are right now. To get it, you need to go where it is.

Seriously considering putting two RTX 6000 in my upcoming build machine. Puts the price up an order of magnitude, but truly private AI might be a worthwhile investment.

Never played with GPUs before, so informed thoughts welcome?

"Transparency" is what systems offer when they want you calm, informed, and still stuck.

1) Transparency without exit = glass prison

If you can see everything but change nothing, transparency just upgrades the UI of your captivity.

- Bank shows you every fee and risk flag → you still have no alternative rails.

- Platform shows you every "community guideline" and strike → you still can't realistically move your audience.

- State shows you surveillance stats and oversight reports → you still can't opt out of the ID/payments stack.

You're no longer ignorant; you're powerless with full knowledge. That's not freedom; it's a glass prison.

2) Why systems love "transparency"

Legitimacy coating:

- "We publish dashboards, reports, APIs. We have nothing to hide".

- Looks like accountability; functions as reputation armor.

Pressure vent:

- Angry? Fine. Here's a dashboard, consultation, or public comment period.

- Your energy goes into reading and arguing about metrics, not building exits.

Better telemetry on you:

- Every "transparency portal" and "consent dashboard” is also a data intake channel.

- They watch what you click, what you complain about, which features keep you hooked.

They roll out reporting much faster than portability or decentralization. That tells you what it's really for.

3) Information is not power; options are power

Power = knowledge × credible alternatives.

If you know your bank is abusive, but:

- every other bank runs identical rails, and

- cash life is criminalized / impractical,

then your "informed consumer choice" is fiction.

Same with platforms:

- You know you're shadowbanned.

- Your data export is useless.

- Your followers can't find you elsewhere.

Without credible exit, transparency is theater.

Only when:

- exit is cheap, and

- re-entry elsewhere is practical,

does transparency start to matter — because you can use information to punish bad actors by leaving.

Once exit is real, transparency becomes a weapon for you. Without exit, it's just better lighting in the cell.

Real shifts come from changing defaults, budgets, and choke points — or from building parallel rails that make the old path economically irrational.

⚡️💻 NEW - Leak confirms OpenAI is preparing ads on ChatGPT for public roll out

OpenAI is now internally testing 'ads' inside ChatGPT that could redefine the web economy.

So, Pictet, one of the largest and oldest Swiss banks (founded in 1805, CHF 724 billion AUM), and a strong critic of Bitcoin since forever, is now hiring a Digital Assets Product Manager "responsible for defining and delivering a coherent vision and strategy for digital assets (such as cryptocurrencies, tokenised assets, stablecoins, etc.)"

Probably nothing.

How it started: How it's going:

BREAKING : Tom Lee makes another shit prediction nostr:note1w5kw578qsgm3tyk90dgt9qk9gffn0895uncg9ae06pt27dszuyqq5aspxg

⚡️🇨🇳 NEW - Chinese startup founded by ex-Google engineer claims to have developed its own TPU-like chip for AI.

The custom ASIC is reportedly 1.5 times faster than Nvidia's 2020 A100 GPU and 42% more efficient.

Wowww Coinbase is NOT on our side

It was all over the news.

Whether or not it's FUD is questionable considering none of SHITraeli software used legal means or abides by privacy laws (of any jurisdiction whatsoever).

That's why it's called 'data harvesting'.

It would be a tall claim to make if it's fake, but since they have the M0ssad network to harvest from, I wouldn't put them above it just yet..

It also says something about us as a community if we still expect them to play by any rules. Terrorists don't do that.

I just got my first samsung device sincw the galaxy s2. Got the s22! No official graphene or lineage...what you running?

Which part?

It's too much to type it all, enough rabbit holes will show proof for most of them anyway. But you gotta want to put in the work 🤓

The blue pills bring the views. The red pills are a one way ticket to the dog house. Once the algo labels you "bad", there's no coming back.

Especially, conspiracy theory channels grounded in logic (like Bruce Maguire on YT) are omega throttled and from time to time get deleted without an explanation.

More or less

~15% of liquid net worth is in self-custody BTC for a Great Taking scenario hedge, rest I use to trade stocks and paper BTC, so I guess mostly TradFI.

By fiat, I mean trading/investing, not passively hodling Bitcoin. I am not hodling fiat either if that's what you're asking.

this is the way

If you go to r/ethereum thats precisely what they think BTC is. Wild.

Back when Elon took over and a bunch of engineers left because of his toxic management style, (my theory is) the people who stayed behind were primarily those who absolutely needed the job because of H1B's.

Here too, though we do have a lot of Beech on our property, and they keep leaves almost all winter. Also a lot of eastern juniper (red cedar)

you won't regret it. i didn't. it's great

Interesting perspective when you bring in the generation dimension. As a millenial that grew up in the 90s watching stuff like Star Trek and Star Wars to name a few, this whole idea was presented differently and the lynchpin has always been the moon landing. Ironically for some of us, we started noticing oddities in the narrative that could never be explained properly. For your generation perhaps that’s when the skepticism was starting to gain momentum but having said that I still think that you were probably around “out of the box” thinkers if the prevailing consensus around you was “this was faked”. Way different than what some of the GenXers believe and a ton of boomers too.

I disagree on the notion that the older generation were aware of the bamboozle. Definitely there were Some that were, but most folks go with the flow just like they do today. Plus this was an era where trust in the gvt was very high or at least way higher than it is now and the information pipes were tv, newspaper and radio; which were heavily influenced by the state. The whole thing looks ridiculous now when you look back at it.

😂🤣 well it was wwe btwn the US and the Russians so I get it but I also see your point and it’s spot on too!

What did he say?
