If the first question to a dude dressed like that isn’t, “So when did you decide to join the taliban,” then take that bullshit off.

Nah I thought the same thing. I cringe every time I see that sort of getup.

Is this legit? I’m not signing on to twitter to verify.

All you cunts with your novel spellings of children’s names have fucked up people’s understanding of basic English phonetics.

I have an uncommon but not that fucking uncommon name and before 2000 no one ever fucked it up.

That’s always been my hangup. I’m not familiar enough with the case, but I think I remember him trying to have someone killed. People forget about that. If that’s true, I mean, kinda fuck him.

With that aside, however, he’s certainly been in prison long enough. Folks get way less time for worse crimes. Free him, but I’ll pause at the hero worship bullshit.

I enjoyed both of them. Thought the second one was great. 😬 Villeneuve won me over with BladeRunner 2049 so I’m kind of partial to whatever he does. Besides that though, I thought they were entertaining films.

Have you read widely in Boethius?

A story that illustrates why I will never orange pill anyone ever again.

2015- Attempt to orange pill friend multiple times. No dice. Totally uninterested.

2019- He asks me if now is a good time to get into bitcoin. “It’s always a good time”. I set him up with a HW wallet and tell him DCA and chill.

2019- Friend calls me a few months later, he wants to put the down payment money for his house into bitcoin, but he’s nervous. I say no worries I will backstop your investment. What’re friends for?! I want you to succeed. He now has a no risk investment. Financed by me.

2020: Friend is doing well. Has been stacking hard and has 2 coins. A great stack for his income.

2021: He starts watching cringey YouTube videos about shitcoin trading. Gets into a private telegram, trades his 2 bitcoin into 4 and then gets rug pulled and loses everything.

2021: He’s near suicidal, very dark times. He doesn’t tell me anything because he knows I warned him about trading and thinks I’ll be disappointed in him. Finally he tells me. I help him get a personal loan so he can take advantage of the remainder of the bull run. He sells at 55k and manages to break even. He’s not up but he’s got his house money back.

2023: We’re out drinking with some other friends from high school. He expresses some jealousy towards me in a semi awkward fashion. “Every time I see this dude (me) I think about bitcoin.”

2024: I meet up with him so the kids can play at the park. Vibe is off. Lots of insecurity and tension. They’re going on a trip to San Diego and I ask if they might go to the zoo while there. “I can’t afford that. That’s for rich people like you”. Odd interaction, but I shake it off.

2024: A few weeks later he gets drunk and hits on my wife via text messages. She shows me immediately and I confront him. He’s like “sorry bro I was drunk I didn’t mean it”. I tell him off and make clear this is the last time we will ever speak.

No good deed goes unpunished. I could not have been nicer to this dude and more helpful along the way and he is fully consumed by envy towards me.

Unfortunate.

Considering the concept of orange-pilling often reminds me of a lesson from drug addiction. Like, I’m not going to orange pill anyone just like I’m not going to get a friend or loved one to stop doing drugs or drinking. If they’re a stone cold addict or drunk, the desire to quit has to come from them. (I know because I was one of them) Otherwise, you’re just wasting your time and energy. When they’re ready, they’ll approach you.

He missed the “stay humble” part.

Payton Talbott is a G.

Been in a randori when a newbie was getting choked out and bit his training partner cuz he freaked out and forgot that tapping was a thing, but a UFC fighter biting his opponent was a first for me.

Rose is sharper but Ribas is a psychopath.

I’ve got a friend who simply will not be convinced that “diversification” is a tired old strategy and that he doesn’t need to hold ETH and ETC along with his BTC. Then again, I was in his ear around 30k and he’s scalped nearly all the jumps to the point where he doesn’t really own much BTC anymore. Inherited strategy and poor time preference. I have no prescription for that.

Not to brag but I’ve got like tens of dollars to buy the dips.

All good!

You’re right. I was just trying to talk my wife into letting me buy it for her. Obviously she’s not hostile to my stacking but she’s definitely not interested. I thought this would be the ideal wallet for someone like her. Get Bitcoin into someone’s hands with as little barrier to entry as possible, but still with some security.
