Property taxes are unconstitutional.
I like ranked choice in theory. I want to break this rule of 2 system that picks the two people we get to choose between.
However, I am suspicious of all the wrong people pushing for ranked choice. Is there a problem with it I should be aware of?
Yeah roll bars only work if you wear your belt. Better off without the bar if you don't wear it.
My Ag teacher loved to tell the story of a local kid who had both his arms sanded off by a round bailer. He was clearing a jam, and the PTO kicked in without warning. Since his wounds were abrasive we was able to walk a couple miles for help without bleeding out.
It's called Mpox now, and you should be afraid of it says the WHO

But I ain't gay.
Sounds like you aren't following enough people.
Finally digging into Fiat Food 📚
Thank you nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak & Matthew Lysiak
I just finished that book 3 days ago. Onward to the Creature from Jekyll Island.
Get these guys some steak and a barbell.
I have had this same experience with this guy. Couldn't stand him when my parents watched him on Fox, thought it was all Boomer fear porn. Now I listen to a bunch of his shows.
I think people like Rogan and Mr. Carlson are the gateway drug to becoming an Anarcho capitalist.
Rogan lead me to Lex, Lex lead me to Breedlove, and Breedlove Orange pilled me on the spot.
Lifting makes you better at everything.

Perhaps it is an inherent property of this technology. We are social creatures afterall. I can doom scroll NOSTR just as hard as classic social media.
Wonder if you can just pull the fuse on the cellular radio.
There's too much Faggotry.
Nation-states and the media will never stop attacking Twitter.
Today, it's been made clear that Nostr is the only long-term viable free speech platform. Everything centralized will become the mainstream media.
And the press' incentive is obvious: take these centralized competitor platforms down to their level: https://www.techmeme.com/240807/p7#a240807p7
Twitter will always have a direct attack vector, whoever is in charge. Right now, that's Elon: https://www.cnbc.com/2024/08/07/uk-riots-elon-musk-accountable-to-no-one-uk-tech-minister-says.html
You see, the riots in the UK are all Elon's fault. Not the last 40 years of shit policy, not the last couple of years of astronomical inflation, and certainly not because people are at a breaking point.
Through their mouthpieces of correct information, they'll tell us that if it wasn't for that evil Elon and his radicalization platform, spreading disinformation, things would be fine. We should let them solve the problem. You're too stupid to sort out reality from cheap fakes. They'll imply that they are the experts and that average folk can't sort out truth from misinformation without their help. And right now, they are helping us, by attacking Elon and Twitter.
But it's not really about Elon or Twitter. That's just today's problem. It's about controlling the narrative in an age that is getting increasingly difficult. Whoever or whatever gets in the way of that will constantly be attacked. Through the complicit media, they will find a soft target and relentlessly attack, even if it takes years.
Mastodon is even worse and more straightforward to attack. It just needs to be more relevant to the matter, but once it does, it will be under attack, too. Compared to someone like Elon, who has a massive reach and resources, it will be relatively effortless for the state(s) to go after these Masto instance operators.
Nostr is the only thing built to solve this at the protocol layer.
You probably have figured this out already, but it crystallized for me this morning.
X is a fat juicy target. If they don't cow to pressure, they'll get "Parlored" at the first excuse.
How do I accidentally get a 1% cut of that terrorist fund? I would put that capital to good use.
