Yes, but then I will be getting zapped from people's tor nodes they run as a hobby from their houses. This is the main source of stuck htlcs. Been burned too many times I've learned my lesson already. Much rather just use a custodian for zaps

How can I play this?

Please steal my intellectual property.

for real

fuck that guy

Leftists in Victoria were planning to disrupt an annual Christmas event to protest for Gaza.

The Premier Jacinta Allan, known around here as Socialist Barbie (they share the same IQ), has a plan to bring together her base (the disrupters in this case) with the regular people of Melbourne who are sick of woke nonsense.

Her solution?

“a strong new set of social cohesion laws”

Because nothing unites a place where they’ve poured in 2 million immigrants like socialist laws defining culture..

Did you know that many of the people from the days of “the Octopus” in Washington DC moved into Biotech with the money they made from their crimes? The current democrat establishment, and some of the Republican old guard are direct descendants from that criminal enterprise. That was where Epstein came from. The Biotech beast has a trackable line back to the Iran Contras, the Inslaw software thing, BCCI, the crack epidemic in LA in the 80s, Indian Casinos, and Investigative journalists who mysteriously kept committing suicide.

The corruption would take normies breath away.

liked gladiator 2 mostly, but i fear it makes roman history look soy. i hope they stop there.

Honestly, if you’re a Bitcoiner and you’re not on Nostr you’re a larp.

Anyway, goodnight 🫂

It's my birthday

Just would have thought that government workers, of all industries, would need to work from the office to do their jobs.

Should I harass the community of Bluesky by force federating them?

someone please tell me the most benign thing I can post on bluesky that would still get me banned I'm trying to turn it into a game

I’ll never understand some conspiracy theorists about some of the things they try to claim 😂😂😂

Yet somehow he picks Matt Gaetz as Attorney General and Pete Hegseth for Defense.

Next year is going to be wild.

I just learned that all of DC, the entire federal government roster of employees, continues to work hybrid, 3 days work from home, 2 in the office.

Craziness.

**A short anecdote...**

**Duke Hwan and the Wheelwright**

Taken from a text called "**The Way

of Chuang Tzu**" as translated by the

philosopher-monk **Thomas Merton**:

Duke Hwan of Khi, first in his dynasty,

sat under his canopy reading his

philosophy. And Phien the wheelwright

was out in the yard making a wheel.

Phien laid aside hammer and chisel,

climbed the steps, and said to Duke

Hwan: "May I ask you, Lord, what is

this you are reading?"

The Duke said: "The experts. The

authorities."

And Phien asked: "Alive or dead?"

"Dead a long time," said the Duke.

"Then," said the wheelwright, "you are

reading only the dirt they left

behind."

"What do you know about it?" said the

Duke. "You are only a wheelwright. You

had better give me a good explanation

or else you must die."

The wheelwright said: "Let us look at

the affair from my point of view. When

I make wheels, if I go easy, they fall

apart, and if I am too rough, they do

not fit. But if I am neither too easy

nor too violent, they come out right.

The work is what I want it to be.

"You cannot put this into words; you

just have to know how it is. I cannot

even tell my own son exactly how it is

done, and my own son cannot learn it

from me. So here I am, seventy years

old, still making wheels!

"The men of old took all they really

knew with them to the grave. And so,

Lord, what you are reading there is

only the dirt they left behind them."
