Fear for things there’s no reason to fear (e.g. “active shooters”); gaslighting for things that should not be gaslit (e.g. inflation)

I haven’t viewed the local news in years now and boy does it feel dystopian AF

Anyone messed with setting up a Fedi yet? The user app is awesome. But I really want to tinker with self-hosting a cashapp/venmo for my family.

Finishing all showers cold has become a part of my routine that I can’t skip. It has even surpassed coffee.

I don’t disagree with these points. FWIW my personal conviction that the intelligence community created Bitcoin has not deterred me from adopting it. I just try to keep frens from swallowing dramatic stories about anonymous altruistic geniuses uncritically.

That’s a lot of funny coincidences I’d say

Moment of vulnerability here, wondering if anyone has had a similar experience before.

I completely LOST it on another person's kid today when I thought they had intentionally hurt my daughter, but I was wrong and now I feel horrible.

Context: on a road trip with another family. The other child has behavioral issues and has been known to get physical in the past with others at school and daycare. Over the course of the trip he's been pretty poorly behaved and aggressive but not downright violent... but I had it in the back of my mind that it could happen.

My daughter was playing with him in the other room, then suddenly runs out screaming, bleeding from the mouth and saying that he had hit her. I've never experienced anyone intentionally hurt my little girl and I instantly flew into protective dad mode before properly assessing the situation. In my mind he had punched her in the mouth.

I stormed into the room and flew into a rage, screaming at the absolute top of my lungs, pointing my finger in the kid's face saying to NEVER touch her EVER again. His mom was right behind me. He was likely terrified and I was honestly way beyond any level of anger I've ever felt.

In the next minute or two my daughter then clarified that it was an accident and they had been playing rough but had unintentionally slammed into each other.

The boy cried, his mom was in shock, and she also had tears in her eyes. I feel absolutely awful about the whole situation, I should have had more self control, and I'm a little in shock how quickly I became an absolute monster to a young kid.

I apologized in the moment to both of them and sent a message after saying I should have handled the situation better.

Just really upset about the whole thing, unsure how to proceed now. Any girl dads out there ever have this happen to them?

This has not happened to me (yet), but I could absolutely see it happening to me. I mean, you said you saw blood. If my little girl were bleeding and told me someone hit her, I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t stop and ask any questions. But I appreciate you sharing this story, because it’s helpful to think proactively about this. I guess taking immediate control of the situation doesn’t necessarily require rage.

Seems to me like a good move to apologize to the mom and son, because it’s probably never a bad idea to model that we are all still learning.

Monero is another good data point. Objectively better privacy, and amazingly for some reason no one wants to put it in an ETF 🤔 oh and devs go missing etc

Fwiw it could be argued that a public ledger for large balances is a feature not a bug. Holding exchanges accountable has been a nice feature during this early adoption period. Holding nation states accountable for their holdings might be in the future as well. I’m not 100% sold but it’s at least a thought.

I’m talking about the entire Bitcoin movement - the code, the origin, the media, the influencoors, the conferences especially, and the market price.

Except ordinals. Those seem like a challenge by a competing state actor (Israel?).

And it should be noted that none of what I’m saying discourages me from holding Bitcoin as a primary reserve asset. I just think it’s worthwhile to be honest about who we’re in bed with.
