The "never spend your bitcoin" crowd are unserious. They either have a surplus of fiat to spend (gross) or are larping. The idea should just be to think before you spend your sats, use a low time preference.

I'll make it simple: do you want Bitcoin to be your choice, or have someone else tell you what Bitcoin is?

TOOL TRACKER TUESDAY:

When I first got into woodworking, I picked up an 18-gauge brad nailer as my first pneumatic nail gun. It was a solid choice—but it only shot brads up to 1 1/4”. That limitation showed up quick on deeper or tougher projects.

If you’re just starting out today, I’d recommend an 18-gauge nailer that can handle up to 2” brads. It’s still beginner-friendly, doesn’t require a big compressor, and can cover most trim, cabinet, and small project work.

Reliable brands to check out: DeWalt, Senco, Metabo.

What was your first nail gun—and would you still recommend it? Drop your thoughts below!

For the record, I do not support circumcision. I believe it’s genital mutilation. That said, I also cannot support the anti-semitism I see going on around this topic either.

I was talking to a guy in Romania about raising kids, and I explained to him that the vast majority of boys in America are circumcised at birth because doctors push it…

He responded “why? It’s a religious practice, not a medical one.”

How would you respond?

So glad I didn't have to have the added complexity of employees and investors.

All that other shit was hard enough

Damn, that looks like a pretty competitive pricing to me as well. Nice!

Hot take: Libertarians are the state’s most dedicated enemies and, in true Girardian fashion become its most faithful imitators.

Rene Girard observed that enemies often become mirror images of each other. The more fiercely they oppose, the more they mimic. The obsession breeds resemblance. This is the trap of mimetic rivalry: we become like the thing we hate.

Libertarians see the state as the ultimate enemy. But in their desire to escape or overthrow it, they begin to reflect its mindset. They study its structure, anticipate its moves, simulate its power in miniature. They build parallel institutions—private courts, private currencies, private defense—as if reconstructing the state from scratch, but with different branding.

Their deep paranoia, their obsession with sovereignty, even their fetish for rules (so long as they’re voluntary)—these are all echoes of the very system they claim to reject.

Like the revolutionary who dreams only of becoming the king he deposed, the libertarian is haunted by the shape of the state. He cannot stop thinking like it, preparing for it, becoming like it in opposition.

So yes—libertarians are closet statists. Not because they love the state, but because they hate it with such intensity that they’ve begun to mimic it.

The enemy has colonized their imagination.

If I collect milk, churn and chill it to make butter, it is still a natural food that the body can leverage for nutrients. 🧈

If I take meat and char it over a fire, it is a still a natural food that the body can leverage for nutrients. 🥩

If I collect maple sap from a tree, and reduce it over heat to make syrup, it is still a natural food that the body can leverage for nutrients. 🍁

If I press juice out of sugar cane, and evaporate the moisture, it is still a natural food that the body can leverage for nutrients. ◻️

Don't make some shitty fiat product with a #Bitcoin logo on it and expect plebs to buy it.

Make a best-in-class hard good and let the plebs have special access, instead.

Can't eat what you don't have.

Supply preceeds demand.

GM ☀️ time for a nostr experiment.

Since nostr has no algorithms you can now rent me your friendly neighborhood influencer to be YOUR algorithm.

The menu below will be active 4/8/25 after that you can zap me all you want, but it won’t produce a reaction on my end.

Enjoy!

This sort of reflexive anti-narrative is just as harmful as blindly following whatever the main narrative is.

If the NYT tells you "gravity points down" you don't immediately go throw yourself off a cliff.

There are many beliefs you can hold which are at any time deeply unpopular societally that will greatly enhance the quality of your life.

So if you’re always doing things that are “normal” or trying to fit in you’re always going to end up with substandard results and be left wondering why.

producers are financed by debt, which is a tax on consumers, who are financing their consumption using debt… rolled over to future generations…. its an entangled web of complexity. truth is probably that human slave labour, people to poor for anyone to lend to them, are the real producers… and absolutely no-one seems to care about them. like kids in swet shops and similar. horrible.
