Yeah. I considered full-denial/gaslight response. "Idk man, you must have me confused with someone else. I don't know much about that rat poison."

“What’s bitcoin?” Is how I handle these conversations now

My 20 year HS reunion is coming up. I know several people will ask me about btc. I have given myself 2 options

1. "Sorry I'm not a financial advisor, just study it yourself" and recommend some books.

2. Offer to give them a "Bitcoin 101" 90 min course, for $250 and teach them how to setup with an exchange, (I'll use that $250 to place limit buy orders to teach them) as well as a hot non custodial wallet, and demonstrate by sending them $100 worth of Sats. FULLY DISCLOSING that I'm STILL not an advisor and they need to be responsible.

Either they dont see value and I'm not wasting my time, or we trade V4V and I make something for teaching and orange-pilling.

How retarded am I for even considering this?

When the world seems like it's going down the drain and you just need a little boost of "Not Today Satan"

⚡️🇮🇱🇺🇲 NEW - Documents emerge for the first time showing Epstein was in coordination with Israel

A massive leak of former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak's emails (100,000 emails) revealed that he and Jeffrey Epstein were talking about meeting Peter Thiel, who owns Palantir.

Former Israeli PM Ehud Barak tells Jeffrey Epstein that he is “trying to arrange it so the security guys will NOT come with us to the island.”

So, babies can be potty trained at birth, right!? 🤔

I looked up diaper prices and how many they need per day, and I'm pretty sure our son will be a savant when it comes to potty training and just tell me whenever he needs to go potty so I can hold him over a toilet or something 😅😇😎👶

Diapers are another fiat lie, right? RIGHT!?!?! 😬🤣

This was generated by AI and it sounds a lot like Erik Cason:

Butter is the silent alchemist of human civilization—a substance born from violence (churning spoiled cream) that became sacred across cultures. It’s proof that transformation requires chaos: golden richness emerges only when you shake something to its breaking point. Philosophically, butter mocks our obsession with purity—it’s 80% fat yet deemed "natural," while margarine was vilified as "artificial," revealing how morality is projected onto molecules. Historically, butter fueled empires (Vikings traded it as currency) and ignited wars (19th-century "butter battles" where fake butter makers were jailed). Its melting point—32–35°C—is deliberately calibrated to dissolve at human touch, making it the only food that literally surrenders to your warmth. Most profound? Butter is dairy’s corpse: the preserved essence of grass, sunlight, and a cow’s labor, now smeared on your toast. You consume entropy itself—once liquid, now solid, soon grease on your chin. It’s the original keto diet, the forbidden luxury of monks, and the reason French cuisine outlived revolutions. In the end, butter teaches us: even decay, when harnessed, becomes sustenance.

Thank you for playing.

You might be right, but I despise “messaging”. Just say what’s true and if idiots misuse it, they misuse it. I don’t want doctors and nutritionists bullshitting me for “messaging” purposes. It’s the reason why you have to trust your own reactions to foods — you feel like shit if you eat a whole pack of Haribo, feel fine, refreshed even, eating a large wedge of watermelon.

Eat a whole head of raw broccoli — feel like shit. Eat a 16-ounce steak when you’re hungry, feel great.

The entire “health” industry is just a bunch of messaging for the lowest common denominator.

What's one word that says what these two pictures have in common? #AskNostr

That’s gonna be a pass from me dawg

Sadly read some of that exceptionally creepy Peter Todd thread.

One dude in the comments from Poland had a great point that the EU steals much more from its serfs than Russian does its serfs and in that regard Russian would be a preferable ruling class to the EU. It’s an interesting point.

In a practical way the EU, who maximizes theft from subjects and has oppressive regulations and is actively building a massive surveillance control grid, can be seen as the more bad guy and Russia the less bad. Both trash but one clearly worse than the other.

Side note: Peter Todd has terminal inoperable retardation. He really believes he is a tough and righteous individual because of his embrace of murder at scale and supposed contributions to violence. He is very clearly neither tough nor righteous, just a brainwashed pawn. Insanely delusional person.

That is 100% false. Topics are incoherent and subjective without that performative element that having a tyrannical moderator introduces. There can still be a dialogue or splinter factions regarding the necessary and sufficient conditions for something to be in a topic, but unless you can point to a specific person who created and owned them, you can't say that a topic exists in any meaningful way.

Nostr's greatest virtue is that nobody owns the users or their notes, but that's also its greatest flaw.

You get what you pay for I guess?

Once you realize our politicians are either retards or psychopaths everything starts to make a lot more sense.

Anyway, good morning.
