We were Generation X
We were promised moon colonies. We got laser printers.
We were told we’d do better than our parents—then found the doors slammed shut behind them.
The Greatest Generation built the world. The Baby Boomers inherited it. Generation X was left to sweep the floors after the party ended.
We grew up on stories of greatness—gods in capes, men who could fly. But when our turn came, the superpowers we inherited were a Pepper’s ghost illusion of smoke, mirrors and glass. Our Superman stayed dead, replaced with variant covers, marketing gimmicks, and a corporate smile that didn’t reach his eyes. A pointless return from the dead had made him a zombie god.
We were angry—because we had a reason to be.
We were cynical—because we didn’t have a choice.
We were a generation of survivors. Generation X either went to jail, rehab, or the military. We weren’t looking for superheroes because we didn’t need them, hell, we shattered every army that stood against us. No, we were looking for stories that understood what it felt like to get your face slammed into the concrete, then get up and keep walking. Comics that understood us. We found them in things like: The Crow. Alien Legion, Cyber Force. Miller’s Sin City. Spawn. Dixon’s Punisher. Grit, blood, fire, betrayal—these weren’t escapism. These were our career paths.
But deep down, we still remembered what it felt like to believe.
We didn’t hate Superman. We still wanted him to be around even if we weren't reading him anymore. We couldn’t accept the big lie but we missed the big dream.
We still wanted to believe a man could fly.

Those that emotionally react to “breaking news”, and have knowledge of their corporate employers taking weeks to plan a press release, may be somewhat retarded.
Those that knowingly shill the “breaking news” to engagement bait should not be trusted; those that unknowingly shill should be trusted even less.
Those that do not include the credentialed journalism of nostr:npub1563z6kxmvuy7s8zhzan8m0hzmkavyfzg2aw6h7f0fvcvdms398csaxc9n6
in their information diet, may only be deserving of your charity.

Save the jar. Even better are making your own. So easy, and takes very little time. Just buy or grow cucumbers, and add red pepper, or garlic, or just salt & pepper. 1000x better, and you’ll drink the brine.
The most mediocre at my employer are the most enchanted by it.
This is true across most academic disciplines.
We had 2 new attendees to our meetup Thursday thanks to OPA. And they were knowledgeable & experienced Bitcoiners.
For loose tea, what strainers do you all recommend? Not silicone or plastic I’m guessing…but there’s a lot of sketchy metal ones on Amazon.
What is “rebalancing”, and why does it need to be done?
